Part of the MAC Temperature Rising collection features this Limited Edition strobe lotion in Golden Elixir. I purchased one because I have been wanting the regular strobe liquid for a while, but didn’t have a good reason to buy it since I have the strobe cream already (and it lasts forever!). This stuff cost £22.50 and it’s smaller than I expected! Just 50ml of product. The bronze doesn’t look like what I expected (I purchased […]
So me and fake tan are so-so – I’d probably be more open to using them if they didn’t stink, were 100% unorange and 100% unstreaky but alas, they’re not quite *there* yet. However – St. Tropez’s range of illuminators don’t require a tan and come in three shades; Violet, Rose and Gold. Rather nice: I have two here, Violet and Rose which come in generous 50ml tubes and can be used on the face […]
I am quite accustomed to the panda eye these days…lack of sleep and too much coffee = dark circles, red eyes, zzzzzzz…… Soap & Glory’s You Won’t Believe Your Eyes is right up my street – this handy tube contains an illuminating serum for the under eye area. It reduces the appearance of dark circles and contains cucumber juice for cooling and skin tightening agents for deal with wrinkles. So it’s kinda skincare, it’s kinda […]
You have to admit, Benefit with it’s unique packaging and products have spawned many an imitator; and why not, especially when it’s a cheaper alternative! These Beat the Blues Complexion Illuminators reminded me instantly of Moonbeam and Highbeam. They even come in the same two tones, a warm sheer gold and a pink silvery highlight. I have the Benefit versions too; I like them although I think they are a tad pricy for what they […]
The more I used luminizer’s and highlighters the more I like them. I have the Estee Lauder illuminating pen and the Laura Mericer one but one of my favourites is the Trish McEvoy product, because of it’s chunky applicator pen. I was rather pleased to get my paws on their Luminizer bronze – just because I have a tan now and I wanted something a little different – there are times when you want something […]
I’ve never owned anything by Fresh before I was sent this concealer to test, but it certainly looks like my kind of brand! So the item I got my paws on was this Fresh Supernova (ooh!) Radiance Brightening Pen. This is one of Touche Eclat many illegitimate children; the clicky pen with an illuminating-concealer-highlighting substance inside. They say: Illuminating microspheres instantly brighten and revitalize tired-looking eyes while minimizing dark shadows and imperfections. The good-for-your-skin formula […]
Natio is a “natural” Australian brand which recently parked its bum in Debenhams. I was sent this Mineral Illuminating Powder to test. They say: A light reflecting powder that instantly lifts and brightens skin tone. Iridescent highlights draw attention to the skin leaving it fresh and radiant looking. This Illuminating Powder comes with a brush on the top of the case. The powder doesn’t come through to the top of the brush (as I thought), […]
Look what I got my hands on! Lancome’s limited (and largely sold out) Sparkling Cherub palette…technically an illuminator: Inside is a gorgeous palette – it has a beige/light gold outer rim, a bronze in the centre and a small pink heart detail. There is a glitter overspray on the powder, which is just gorgeous but WILL wipe away after a few uses. A closer look…just to admire…. Lancome releases some super pretty face palettes every […]
