MAC’s Small Product Haul

by admin on April 18, 2010

Well I think there is no woman in the UK who would not have something from MAC. They are very successful cosmetics company and they have many  religious followers including me :)
Anyhow, today I wanted to review a couple of their products randomly picked in their store for experimenting. Although they are making a lot of products, which stand out from their competitors and even high end designer’s lines, there are a few products, in my opinion, which do not particularly live up to their thought task.

Their shadows are absolutely fantastic, there is nothing to say apart from I love them. They are easy to work with, they do not crumble and one can choose from the most sophisticated colours pallet. I usually buy their set of four, which works out cheaper so I can decide later which colours I like and if so I can invest in the larger size packaging. Colours I am using now are: A 38 wood winked; A28 Smut; A39 Coquette;  A27 Typographic; Ricepaper Frost; Copperplate Matte2; Naked Lunch. I love smokey eyes look and I variate a lot with these 7 shades.

Gorgeous Skin Secret

by admin on April 8, 2010

gorgeous skinGorgeous Skin Secret

I, like probably many other women, ask myself how can I achieve gorgeous skin without spending hundreds of pounds on cosmetics and cosmetologist visits, which in a lot of times not even helping? Well I started to experiment with different approaches and I believe I have developed a very effective skin care regime.  Well before jumping to the interesting part I wanted to speak a bit about the skin itself. Skins is the largest organ in our body, it has its physiological functions, which I will not bore you with here. But what is important is to understand that skin plays a pivotal role in many processes which we do not even think about, but it is an organ which can have its own problems and brake downs. When something is not right in our body skin is the first organ to react and communicate with us. So when you come to choose your skin care product you usually will look for a product, which corresponds to your skin type – dry, oily, combination or sensitive…and here is the catch…while I can agree with the first three the last one – sensitive, is not really a skin type! It may come as a shock, but sensitive skin is a first sign that something is not right, and unfortunately to buy another sensitive skin product will not do you any favour. And as most of us in a recent years have problems with sensitivity of our skin, well apart from aging, I thought I will embark on a quest of finding out what is that we could do to  protect and perfect our skin.

L’Oreal Matte Morphose

April 8, 2010

This a quick review for the Matte Morphose Foundation by L’Oreal. I am not a big fun of the matt foundations but I quite liked this one. It is very soft and silky and it did not crease too much under my eyes, what’s become a growing concern of mine recently. However a very rich [...]
