Long-lasting makeup? Yes please! That is what Maybelline is promising us with the new products on their SuperStay range.
Most of us know the 24 Lip Color and Maybelline is expanding the family, with foundation, powders, concealer, nail and lip colours, and I found out about it at an event in central London last week.
So I read a few articles in the past weeks – from business to fashion magazines – about Mink, a 3D printer that creates makeup. Yeah, you heard it makeup – lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushers – cream or powder. You name it, any colour. Yep.
No secret that Liz Earle’s Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is my favourite cleanser – since I discovered it, I haven’t looked back. Don’t just take my word for it – recently, this cleanser celebrated more than 100 beauty awards!!!
Oh, we all love French pharmacy products, no? Oui, we do! So Farmaline lends a helping hand on getting those brands over to your doorstep.
Their staples are hard to find French skincare and beauty products – they have an awful lot of them, together a very comprehensive selection of European brands. I got Scarmed, a silicon scar cream from Derma Forte, which is actually a Dutch company.
Promise I won’t proclaim my love for gradients again (ooops). I had an American All Stars themed party, and as usual, I get over excited about themed parties, so went all out.
No secret that since I first filled my eyebrows, I realised I would never fail to do so (after the initial shock of seeing them filled, that is).
I have a few star products that have helped me keep them in check, but since discovering the B. Makeup B. Defined Eyebrow Kit, I haven’t looked back.
One of these days I was talking to people how I became so obsessed with makeup, style and shoes so I started thinking and went back to my childhood, when I used to smash my aunt’s Ciane’s eyeshadow palettes (sorry auntie) and smear my aunt’s Tiana’s lipsticks on my face, while they weren’t around.
The technique was the same: wait until they were distracted chatting with family or going over their daily and go over their dressing tables and pounce, in the dark, getting hold of anything I could, quickly.
Oh, how I love a bold lip! No wonder I was delighted to try this gorgeous GOSH Velvet Touch lipstick in a rich dark pink shade, Yours Forever.
So I decided to throw myself back to the 90’s and sported white nails for a few days. As I cannot bear my nails that simple I added a black tip to funk it up.
Then, my aunt’s and grandmother’ s manicurist came along (she also does my other aunt’s and cousin’s nails!)…. bringing something that was completely new to me.
Those who know me can confirm I am not one to pass the opportunity to dress up. I LOVE dressing up. When I do it, I go all out; no point in being half-hearted, right?
So Many Lovely Things
