Brunette Beauty

Finally the well known French skincare line I have managed to get a hold of! I've heard great reviews about this cleanser. Great for removing makeup and cleansing on sensitive skin. I've been using it for over a month now and wanted to share my thoughts. Packaging: Flexible clear plastic bottle. The cap is tinted pink plastic that matches the text on the bottle. The opening is quite large for a cap product but in saying that the solution doesn't pour out or get dispensed fast. Smell: None. It is fragrance free and I'm not sensitive to scents in products unless they are  really  overpowering  so this wasn't an issue for me. Colour: Clear. Formula/Texture: This is a thin, lightweight liquid. It is easily absorbed into the skin. The micelles in the formula micro-emulsify impurities with no irritation to the skin or eyes. It also contains soothing ingredients as it's formulated for sensitive skin. Wait it gets better, it's hypoallergenic. Let...

Packaging: Slim small round black shiny plastic compact. The inside lid is a full mirror. The bottom portion is the product which is smaller than I was expecting from the pictures online.  It's easy to clean but does pick up grubby fingermarks. Smell:  None. Colour: Light Bisque - light beige with pink undertones. Medium to full coverage/pigmentation with a natural matte finish. Total of 11 shades that either very pink or very yellow undertoned. Compared to the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, this is much pink undertoned. L-Bobbi Brown R-Laura Mercier Formula/ Texture: This is a thin consistency and creamy texture. It does feel lightweight under the eyes. I feel that the thin consistency allows you to apply a lighter layer, avoiding creasing. I haven't found this to settle into any lines either. It's easy to apply with either a small synthetic brush or fingers. It is long lasting of 8hrs. It has skin conditioners infused in the formula whic...

I read and heard great things about these eyelash curlers. I know, a lot of talk over a simple and affordable makeup tool, so what gives? Feeling as though my eyelashes never really curl much by the Shisdeo curlers I decided to pick these up. I have average sized and shape eyes. Also I will say from the onset I alternate each one on a daily basis. Packaging: Shiny silver eyelash curlers with 'Shu Uemura' engraved on the outside plate that sits on your eye. It does come with a replacement pad.  Comparison to Shiseido: I am only comparing these curlers they are the only ones I have.  Both have comfortable handles though the Shiseido has less room for your fingers to move around. Both operate with ease and open the same large width, with Shiseido that little bit more. Both pads are firm and upholds the plate well. While they are different colours this doesn't matter to me, the effect does. The pictures I tried really hard to line up the same as the ...

A while back I did a review on Benefit's Hoola Boxed Powder. I received a sample and didn't like it, it was too muddy for me. Well this is a first segment, where I am doing a re-review. Colour: Medium brown with warm undertones. Sheer pigmentation with a matte finish. Formula/ Texture: Smooth but a little stiff as it's dry. It's easy to apply, though I haven't tried it with the small sample square thin brush you see above that was included. I found it to be long wearing too, lasting an average 10hr day by the time I take it off. Just a caution that you have to be careful with applying this as too much product can give a muddy brown look. I honestly didn't expect to like it. It gives you this nice warm bronzed look. I found it very comparable with Too Faced Chocolate Soleil, I think Too Faced is more long wearing and you can't beat the sweet yummy chocolate smell :) I would recommend this bronzer for contouring. If your debating betwee...

This colour is a bright pink with blue undertones. It has more blue undertones to OPI Pink Flamenco. It is a flat colour with no shimmer or glitter. It is opaque in two coats. Oh how I am obsessed with this colour! It is my first Essie polish and very new to my collection. It is more of that neon bright pink that I was trying to find. This has been on my fingers for the past month and just recently popped onto my toes. This is me in a bottle. I defiantly feel it's a summer colour but I'd love to have this brightness in my life during the dull skies of winter. In this picture I am wearing it with an accent nail consisting on two coats of OPI's Bubble Bath and two coats of OPI's Teenage Dream. Very girly but I love how this all screams fun and me!!

I wanted to put together the top lip colours that I gravitate towards and why I would recommend them.  Everyone has one and these are mine. MAC colours are very pigmented with an opaque coverage and have a lovely vanilla scent. These are some of the first lipsticks I've purchased that I love an enjoy wearing to pretty much all occasions. I found them all the be universally flattering, meaning all tones of skin will be able to pull them off.  These would also be the shades for MAC starters. Creme de Nude may be the only one thats hard to make work but it depends on what blush you pair it with that will make the difference. Angel Is the gorgeous shade of pink you can slap on to add some soft colour to our face without feeling like it's over powering- it's a good alternative to a brown shade of lipstick. Angel is a neutral pink with some hint of brown and cool undertones. MAC describes it as a soft pink. This colour has a frost finish meaning it has a slight sheen ...
