Eyeshadow lovers all over will agree that it is indeed a pain when you are using multiple colours on your lids and need to either clean the brush or use another one.
Vera Mona Color Switch is a handy little tin that helps us with that. The Duo version, apart from cleaning the brush for the next colour, also has a “wet spot” in the middle, for wet eyeshadow application.
I was really intrigued when I first encountered this eyeliner. Certainly, the NYX The Curve makes sense, but does it really make life easier when applying eyeliner? Well, I put it to the test!
I always feel very excited when I can feel a freebie in the plastic wrapping of Glamour upon seeing it in my postbox, so when I opened my August edition, delivered on Friday, I was very happy to see a mini Clinique Chubby Stick as a freebie – I feel very content when a useful, interesting or untried free gift comes along.
This August a few magazines are bring out great free gifts with purchase, which are a fantastic value for money – and they have already hit the newsagents!
Since I first discovered primers, I cannot imagine my life without them – for face or eyes, a primer is an essential item in my makeup bag.
The L’Óreal Paris Color Riche Eye Primer Base comes as a handy chubby pencil. Not too soft in consistency, it glides well on the lid, delivering a light nude colour.
A super long lasting lip colour? Yes, please! New Maybelline New York SuperStay 14h Megawatt Lipstick promises to stay up and take your pout in glorious shades throughout the day!
Does it deliver?
After so much anticipation, the Maleficent by MAC launched in the UK on the 15 May. I had already set my little wish list and was determined to get my claws on a few items.
As soon as I received their email saying the collection was available, I went online and placed an order for the lipstick – which was the item I really wanted), the lip liner and some lashes.
A good base is the key to good makeup, so I am quite fussy when it comes to foundation. Recently, as part of their SuperStay range, Maybelline New York has launched Better Skin, a foundations claiming to improve the appearance of dull, blotchy and uneven skin.
So, I put it to the test. Better Skin contains Actyl C, zinc, provitamin B5, magnesium, copper, flex technology (which adapts to skin movement, being tightness-preventing), glycerine (attracts moisture and makes skin look hydrated and radiant) and SPF 20, which is great to see in makeup.
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.
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.
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.
