~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Who doesn’t like a sun-kissed glow?

No Doubt!!! Makeup For Ever cosmetics are always famous for their HD foundations and powders. But this time they amazed us with their newly launched bronzers. Have a look

Make Up For Ever PRO Bronze Fusion
Developed with a breakthrough formula, the NEW PRO Bronze Fusion is a waterproof and sweatproof gel-compact bronzer that delivers a natural sun-kissed effect in just minutes. Its light compact texture melts instantly into the skin giving a boost in a silky smooth effect with no powdery finish. Not only this, its waterproof characteristic allows for a longer and optimal hold in any weather condition without leaving a trace or streaks. 

My thoughts:-

O-M-G guys.. I’m totally obsessed with this bronzers, not a single day without it.
This guy provides a radiant glow during any season.

Formula is just phenomenal which allows flawless application.
The beautiful brown shade with tiny specks of scattered gold shimmer, gives your face a gorgeous structure and enhance your feature ❤️

The texture of MUFE PRO BRONZE fusion is buttery smooth which indeed blends like a dream, easily picked up on the brush. With this bronzer, I need just one swipe because it is deeply pigmented and builds up nicely.It’s not an intense tanned look but gives gorgeous sun-kissed effect.


PRO Bronze Fusion Kabuki Brush

Specifically developed for the application of PRO Bronze Fusion, the PRO Bronze Fusion Kabuki brush allows for an ultra-natural makeup result without leaving streaks. Its perfect combination of straight and wavy fibers guarantees you looking tanned and not like you are wearing a bronzer by taking just the right amount and applying it with no risk of application lines.
MUFE Brushes are just so soft, easy to work with! I Know they are over priced 🙈 but sometimes its worth every single penny.

PRO Bronze Fusion Kabuki Brush is super cute and tiny. Easy to fit in your makeup bag, picks up right amount of product👍🏽 and blends flawlessly.

its great to achieve natural bronzed look when you’re in a hurry & also it hasn’t had one hair fall out which is very impressive!

Overall,I really like the way it gives radiance to my skin. It highlights my features beautifully, gives me an instant sun-kissed look which looks gorgeous. It has a good staying power too AND of-course not to forget its Water/Sweat proof.

 Which means its a must have for summer 💛
Flatters any skintone 💛

Mini Review / Swatches : Rimmel London SS15 Lipsticks 

~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

This season I’ll be adding two of my favorite drugstore brand lipsticks to my go-to list

Rimmel london 
As the temperature rises, lips go brilliantly bright.

Rimmel introduces its new Kate Bright SS15 Collection for lips, an exotic palette of precious shades created by the style icon herself, Kate Moss.

My Thoughts:-

Two Flattering lipstick shades

IMG_3317

Nice change for spring and summer, moving away from the reds I’ve worn this past winter.

Both lipsticks are satin finish which means it is neither matte or too creamy
Kate Moss : #35

The color is cool toned pink with a tiny hue of lavender, kinda pastel pink
      

Kate Moss : #37

I must say this color totally caught my eye
Its orangy-coral 😁 

really flattering shade for every skintone ❤️

Overall,

I love the Rimmel london Lasting finish lipsticks by Kate Moss, I have almost all the colors from her collection..Both #35 & #37 goes well with loads of different make-up looks Day or night

it smells so good & the creamy formula feels comfortable on lips,
Perfect bright and fresh colors great for summer.

and if you want to be a bit more creative add a pop of orangy-coral to the centre of a pink lips 💋

Available at: Boots, Lifestyle, Max and Carrefour

Price: 49 AED

Which colour will you be poppin’ this summer!!

Mini Review : Olay Regenerist  Advanced Cleansing System

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment
Hello lovies :*
I’m sure you’ve heard of the Olay face cleansing brush !

I’ve been using it like crazy ..

Details 

4 professionally designed features:

  • 2 speed, rotating system delivers daily deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation
  • Water-resistant for use in the shower
  • Soft replaceable brush head gentle on the skin
  • Exfoliating cleanser professionally designed to purify and renew skin’s texture for refreshed, smooth skin System includes:
    1) 2-speed facial cleansing brush
    2) Soft bristle replaceable brush head.
 
How it works: 
Cleansing brushes work to remove impurities, stimulates circulation, cleans deep pores and most importantly slough off dead skin cells. You’ll find the difference after a few use
How to use :
It is simple, first I remove the majority of my make up with eye make up remover , then, add the cleanser to wet brush bristles and then work in a gentle circular motion on my damp face without really applying pressure

 My thoughts:
I’ve used it religiously with Olay Regenerist cleanser for 60 seconds and It really helps keep my skin clear and soft. I get compliments on my skin all the time. I think it helps my makeup look smoother too. I have nothing negative to say about it at all! 
And I think it does a great job,

 I love the smoothness my face constantly feels
It has made a huge difference in my skin and is so worth the price
It’s the perfect pick-me-up!
 
Make sure you rinse all make up and soap residue out of the bristles and foam to dry the attachments.
Overall, Its a must have for me, & I definitely recommend it !!
Price 140 AED
Ratings – 5/5
What do you think about this budget friendly clarasonic ?? 😁

Mini Review : Max Factor Skin Luminizer 

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

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 touch. I 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

~ Zahra S ~ 3 Comments

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
