May Favourites

Hi everyone, welcome back

May has been a busy month for me, but I like it that way … , I feel like this month has gone so fast … but I’m happy 🙂 because summer is almost here …

It’s time for my monthly favourites again! Here’s what I’ve been loving this month:

lets start with my favourite perfume of the moment CHLOE This fragrance is a feminine, natural & sexy with a Floral/ fruity scent.  This is the longest lasting perfume I have ever tried, it lasts all day.

Next is the Bronzer  Makeup revolution Triple baked Bronzer HOT SUMMER OF LOVE   is a triple baked obsession that I bound to fall in love with! This heavenly baked bronzer has three shades merged together to give skin a natural looking glow with a hint of shimmer.

My next favourite is the Iconic London illuminator  this amazing product looks truly glowing on, each drop is so high pigmented that only need a very little amount per use, I normally add it to my foundation or moisturizer to give me a really glowing skin.

L’OREAL True Match  this to be an incredibly smooth foundation. The texture is so silky when applied to the skin and it really blends so easily. In so many foundations I used I always back to this one….

Last but not least I love the Doucce Lucious lip stain this lipstick is a pigmented liquid formula applies matte, dries fast and last for hours, this is a sample size that came in my subscription box (Birchbox) I found myself using it every day 🙂

B flawless matte foundation

Hi everyone, welcome back

Today I am talking about drugstore foundation…..

B. Flawless Matte Foundation is a medium coverage foundation specifically designed to control shine, perfect for oily or normal skin. My skin is not oily but I really like the results of it. It’s a perfect foundation for summer….

This foundation keep the skin hydrated, sealing in only the moisture essential for the skin. This leaves the skin shine-free and minimises the appearance of pores.
The formula is long-lasting, buildable and glides seamlessly onto the skin, leaving you with a natural-looking, matte finish and an even skin tone all over.

There is a 12 shades available what’s pretty good for a drugstore line.

This foundation is vegan free along with the rest of the B. range ….

I have to say it’s great a good quality drugstore foundation.

Have a nice weekend

I ❤️ Makeup Summer of love Triple Baked Bronzer

Hi everyone, welcome back

 

This is called the Hot summer of love combines three beautiful bronzing shades, high-quality, originally executed design of a package in the form of a heart. Bronzer has a shimer, good in application and shading, perfectly refreshing face.

This is my favourite bronzer at the moment ! This gives me a healthy bronzed glow without looking cakey or orange. Also as it’s a baked formula it blends naturally into the skin and has a subtle luminous effect which I love.

When you swirl the brush around the whole product, you get a beautiful warm rose gold highlight shade, which absolutely complements every skin tone.  It also looks perfect used as eyeshadow …

L’Oréal Paradise Primer Extatic

Hi everyone, welcome back

L’Oréal Paris has developed the Paradise Extatic Primer. The white mascara primer gently wraps around the eyelashes, creating the perfect base for your favorite mascara!

With natural waxes, jojoba oil and vitamin extract.

The paradise mascara is one of my favourite so I was really excited to try this primer. This is a 2-in-1 lash primer to boost volume and care, lashes look longer and thicker …

Great texture, easy application without clumps, the brush is bristles and not silicone. Definitely the lengthening effect is strong. This primer prepare lashes for what is coming next.

Lashes feel feather-soft, stronger and more conditioned.

Result: The eyelashes are divine: The effect of the mascara is amplified, their beauty improved.
