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

really well-pigmented and buildable

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 :*

Love Yourself ❤️

Hey my be-you-tiful shining dolls,

How Are you all doing ?

So, today I’m feeling to talk about how to Love Yourself ❤️ I know it’s totally a different topic .. Not a beauty/makeup related thingy.. But, Just to find and love your inner “U” ! I want to motivate u & Kickstart your inner beauty 😘

Let me share my biggest secret with you all.
I’m a very Shy girl with a low “self esteem”
I know I know , being a beautyblogger , I have to be a social butterfly , and I’m still in a process of gaining confidence..
Which is now improving day by day ☺️👍

My first step towards gaining “confidence” was to Love Myself..❤️ Self-acceptance .. & Self respecting ❤️

Once you start loving yourself, you can find your own way to happiness ❤️ you will come to know what you want to do ❤️

Loving yourself is a step by step process, and it comes by firstly admitting to ourselves that we are worthy.

It isn’t only important to Be positive about yourself, but you also really have to decide what kind of a woman you want to be. You can’t truly get to know and love another person until you truly know and love yourself?

2015/01/img_7683.jpg

Give constant attention to yourself, Work on giving yourself “self-love” daily, remind yourself that you are the first priority in your own life. After all, if you don’t have you, everything else becomes irrelevant, right?

Just Be true to yourself and don’t worry about what others are thinking. It takes courage to be who we truly are, to reveal ourselves to the world. So don’t be discouraged by what other people think ! 😇
Sometimes in our life We no longer love ourselves and begin to lose a sense of our own self-worth. Everyone have their own issues, whether it’s personal or professional we all have to face problems, Face it with a smile But never give-up .. Honour yourself and start treating yourself with care.🌹

Have some respect for yourself. Treat yourself as you want others to treat you. Really, it works.❤️
So darlings❤️, Commit to “learning to love yourself” beginning today. This is one relationship thats going to be with you forever.

Find your happiness ❤️

I Hope you like this post 😘

xoxo
