Adheres perfectly to the skin, with a silky smooth finish. For excellent skincare effects.

 
My Thoughts :
This Concealer is clearly the winner for me, because it functions both as a highlighter and an undereye concealer for me 
It really blends flawlessly into the skin because of its creamy texture & also provides full coverage!I don’t have a lot of darkness/bag  but the skin in my undereye area is a real pain. But This is the only product I have found that works well alone so far! Its very handy for doing touch ups. doesn’t look cakey at all.. And You can wear this either under your foundation or over it.

Mini Review : Max Factor Skin Luminizer 

Hi loves,😘

Are you looking for good foundation that gives you some coverage but lets your natural beauty shine through??

 
Here is my mini Review on …..
 
Max Factor Skin Luminizer
 
PRODUCT DETAILS

Want coverage that enhances your skin rather than masking it? Try skin luminizer foundation, which cleverly uses light-reflecting particles to create a gorgeous healthy-looking glow. 

  • Subtle skin luminizers are specially designed to reflect ‘warm’ light tones.
  • Also contains a hydrator that helps improve skin’s condition to create a healthy glow from within.
  • Medium coverage with a dewy finish.
  • Handy pump dispenser
 
Packaging:
the packaging is very beautiful, gold makes it chic and the white swirl gives me the idea that there are nutrients in it.
 
My take :
 At first, I thought I would love this foundation because of its texture but 
immediately I was turned off ,It starts out creamy and easy to spread on, but quickly turns thick and sticky. 
 
Even after several hours of wear, my skin still felt slightly tacky to the touchI can feel it sitting on my face. 😣

 
 This does wear off after awhile but the tacky texture does not wear off completely.
 
However the coverage is good!
blends seamlessly and gives 
immaculate finish that covers up imperfections and blemishes. 
 
Overall , despite all those negative aspects, 😁
The foundation has medium – full coverage &  Long lasting. However, takes awhile to set and  feels slightly tacky afterwards. Also, will accentuate dry patches & uneven skin texture if you’re not careful.
 
 
I think this foundation would work well for those with oily skin as well!
 
My rating: 3/5
 

*Comes in 6 different shades, 30ml

Let me know your what you think Glamies :*

Laura Mercier SS’15 – Review/Swatches

Hey Glamies

I am absolutely bowled over by this beautifully simple yet impactful ss15 collection by Laura mercier 


Foundation :


Laura mercier is well known for her “Flawless Face” concept 

I was glad to try her Silk Crème moisturizing Photo Edition foundation

These days my face needs more than sheer coverage. I have some acne scars and areas where  I need medium to full coverage, but I still want something that looks natural. The new Photo edition foundation  offers medium to full coverage that looks like skin.

It blends in flawlessly with my skin. It has a thin fluid texture but isn’t too runny as long as you shake the tube properly before use. It easily covers dark spots and uneven areas quite well while still looking natural and luminous,

I’ve been using the fingers to apply or a damp sponge and the coverage is quite nice,it photographs well with a flash too

Lasting power is quite good when set with the Translucent powder, I was able to get 10 to 12 hours of wear

Highlighter :

When it comes to highlighters, I’ve traditionally been very open to all intensities of shimmer and frost.
The Texture is just divine,Its buttery smooth with a finely milled finish. It blends naturally with my skin and to give a gentle glow.

The luxurious rose gold highlighter has the most beautiful  embossed pattern  . You can use it on your cheek or brow bones, the bridge of your nose, collarbone, temples,anywhere you want a subtle gold shimmer highlight. Just use it sparingly for best results!
You guys , if u see this … Grab it immediately!!

Paint wash liquid lip color :

I’m not usually a fan of lip gloss but these babies are something new  , they are demi matte / creamy

Kinda liquid lipstick, highly HIGHLY pigmented…..

Those who are looking for a slightly glossy liquid lipstick will love these. They have a texture similar to that of a liquid lipstick but have a non-drying feel

*Adding more swipes will intensify the color.
All are variations of bright summery colors but still very wearable (even for neutral lip lovers)

Lipstick :
The eight new shades include Lychee Parfait, Rose, Audrey, Crushed Pecan, Milky Way, Praline Cream, Dry Rose and Biscotti.

There’s a hint of peach and Nude in the base to prevent it from looking too pale. BISCOTTI AND ROSE both are neutral enough for my comfort yet have enough color to brighten the face

ROSE is a bright healthy pink on the lips.
they do look flawless on the lips and require no extra tweaking (always a plus).

DRY ROSE is a soft Cranberry color which will rock your lips this spring/summer,
a quick pop of color without trying too hard !!

 Formula is super Moisturizing with a slight glossy finish.

The colors are fresh and brightening and the options this spring are great for both neutral and bright-color lovers alike.

Overall: LOVE! Healthy colors that are fresh  and yet classy & flattering to the skin in a natural way that brightens the complexion.


Do check the Spring/Summer 2015 collection
Available at Areej (UAE)

Something that really attracts me to purchase a product, would definitely be the packaging.

I’m a sucker for anything that looks cute or smells amazing. (Am I the only one? Hope not!) LOL

Make-up brand that really caught my eye!

Cream Eyeshadow : BURJ

really well-pigmented and buildable

Lipgloss: GIGI & SWAK

Im so happy with this & it is one of my HG mascara now
I find it to be right between a wet and dry formula, which I love because it’s very easy to apply and doesn’t clump or smudge much at all. You don’t need much product to get fluffy natural lashes💜

Blush: ROSA

Review : Clarins True Radiance Foundation

Hey Glamies ,

Like many others, I’m a huge fan of Clarins &
I was really excited to try it out.
The Clarins true radiance foundation..
2015/01/img_7726.jpg

Read more to find out what I have to say about it.


Clarins website
:
True Radiance Foundation SPF 15
The light-infusing foundation: brightens and corrects the complexion
A lightweight, moisturising formula that glides onto skin perfectly, boosting natural radiance and luminosity.
• Reveals the skin’s natural luminosity with the anti-pollution action of Moringa seed plant extract
• Boosts natural radiance with light-reflecting pigments
• 24-hour hydration*: it infuses the epidermis with moisture to leave it glowing with vitality

My Thoughts
2015/01/img_8022.jpg


Packaging : Elegant & sleek clear glass bottLe ( 30 ML ) with a pump easy to get the product out ❤️

This is described as a luminous , lightweight fluid foundation with that smooths the skin with soft-focus pigments for a long-lasting finish

You guys, this stuff is FANTASTIC. It goes on effortlessly, and the formula is lightweight enough that I can’t feel it on my skin ,but
Immediately I notice its a bit liquid-y & it has a light floral scent to it. Which is okay for me !
I use a dense synthetic brush to buff this onto my skin, or a wet beauty blender (sometimes),

The coverage is medium to light,I’d still have to use a concealer if I wanted to disguise any spot,

This wears really well on my normal-to-dry skin. & Gives the most lovely luminous finish.
2015/01/img_8023.jpg2015/01/img_8024.jpg
2015/01/img_8025.jpg

It comes in 10 shades ,
& If you are testing out shades, I recommend giving them a little extra time to set in-store before making a choice!

As for staying power This foundation lasts 5-6 hours on the skin.
2015/01/img_8026.jpg

So yes overall my feelings for this foundation is very positive,
It is joining my holy grail foundation lineup☺️I have very dry skin so for me, this is very hydratting
I recommend it for girls who do not like foundation, who are not looking for full coverage or any girl who doesn’t like pores & is looking for something fool-proof, doesn’t take too long to blend & looks like skin but of-course, better! &
It is quite reasonable for a luxury brand foundation❤️

What do you think about this foundation??
Do let me know

Much love
Zeee💋

Mini Review : Bourjois Eyebrow Pencil – Eyebrow Mascara

Hi loves, ❤️

Recently I’m digging into Bourjois products their lipsticks , eyeshadows , eyeliner & mascara … Im So obsessed with it 😍
&
Bourjois (middle east) were sweet enough to send me Bourjois sourcil precision eyebrow pencil & Eyebrow Mascara to try and review about it 😍
2015/01/img_7674.jpg

Read more to find out what I have to say about it.

Bourjois sourcil precision eyebrow pencil :
2015/01/img_7894.jpg

Let me start by saying : I have very sparse brows and nothing bothers me more than at the end of the day, seeing that half of my brows are gone – yikes! 🙈

This eyebrow pencils Define my brows and add color. Applies product smoothly , its a bit on a dry side but works well . The medium shade suits light to medium hair; the dark shade is best for medium to dark hair.
And the brush lid is handy too 😋 , though not as good as a spoolie.
It glides on great and creates full, natural brows and most importantly – it STAYS on.
2015/01/img_7893.jpg

Overall : I tend to like more natural brows and I feel like this pencil does a pretty good job.Long lasting and wide range of color selection 👍
*Very good for every day use. ☺️

Bourjois Drole De Sourcils – Eyebrow Mascara:
2015/01/img_7897.jpg 2015/01/img_7896.jpg

the colors are very natural looking and makes my brows look thicker and more
Create full, natural-looking eyebrows.
Build further definition and intensity of eyebrows when layered on top of brow pencil application.Keeps my brows in place all day long- bc it is waterproof … Wallah 😍

It’s not “dark” dark brown, it’s almost a shimmery brown but in a nice way.if that makes any sense ,😋
2015/01/img_7895.jpg

Overall : My eyebrows look a bit more voluminous & thick with this mascara, with a lovely hint of golden brown.

Eyebrow people (Like Me) should try this 😃 LOL

What do you think about Bourjois brow products? Have you tried it?
Much Love
ZEEE :*

045 NewYork Scene
IMG_6173.PNG
IMG_6171.PNG

••My Thoughts••
Revlon lip products has always been my most favourite ones !! Their formula / wide range of colors.. Everything is just satisfying 🙂

So,I got two of them 😍 first one is “040 Shanghai Sizzle” which is gorgeous bright red,second is “045 NewYork Scene” a perfect classy deep red 🙂
Both shades are pretty pigmented and build-able,
formula is so super creamy and doesnt feel sticky at all. It looks like a sheer gloss but It’s VERY comfortable on my lips,Love how it wears and it is definitely moisturizing,

The Revlon colorstay moisture stain lasts for two hours on my lips.

Don’t forget to drag your finger through your lips to remove any buildup or it may get on your teeth!

Highly recommended!

Hope you like this post!!

Much Love
