I totally resisted the Nars Multiple Tints because when I originally swatched them I thought they looked a bit glossy.
However I was hearing so many good things about them (especially Turks & Caicos, the bold orange) that I went back for another look (that, and the fact that I collect Nars!). These Multiple Tints are Limited Edition and there are (were) three shades;
Turks & Caicos – Bright Orange
Beverly Hills – Bright Red
Cadaqués – Bright Fuchsia
Since I am going on holiday and these are multi use, I decided to go or Turks & Caicos and Cadaques:
I was lucky to snap these up because they have pretty much sold out in most spots.
They say:
The NARS Multiple Tint provides sheer, buildable color. The multi-purpose tool can be worn alone for flush cheeks or stained lips. For a bolder effect it can be layered with other NARS face and lip products.
Nice packaging – makes it easy for me to tell which is which (as long as I don’t mix up the lids!).
One thing I do like about these is that they are water based – they feel less heavy on the skin that the traditional multiples and they eventually set, leaving a bolder finish what is dewy, not greasy.

A few weeks ago I bought some new skincare from Lush and it’s all been pretty well used so here are some speed reviews of the products!
I fell out of love with Neals Yard Rosewater after it dried my skin out badly, so decided to try Eau Roma by Lush instead. Wasn’t expecting too much, also I dislike the smell of lavender (this contains Lavender water) so bought the smaller size.
This comes in a spritz bottle – I am a fan of a cotton pad and bottle to be honest, rather than spritzing on – I can spritz on to the cotton bad but then I scare the cat – yada yada – I may need therapy.
Eau Roma!
I was wrong because this is a lovely, lovely toner. So soothing, smells gorgeous – just like lovely rosewater with a hint of jelly (that’s probably just me) and really didn’t irritate or dry my skin out at all. Also nothing nasty in the ingredients which is great.
Can’t fault this one at all, will definitely rebuy – good for dry skins, I hear their Tea Tree Toner is great for those with oiler skins!
Ingredients:
Lavender Water (Lavandula angustifolia), Rose Water (Rosa damascena), *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Methylparaben}
I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades.
This week is Greens!
POP Beauty nail polish I find rather impressive – at least, I think it looks pretty good in photographs!
This one is called Radioactive…I am sure you can see why? It’s LUMINOUS! I like this though…no I am not going to be scaring young children with it…maybe on halloween, but I still think it does really well for a super bright polish. Any lighter and it would be…just ugly.
This isn’t ugly. Just a bit obnoxious.
What do you think?
