Mac Blush in Peaches


 

Well hello,

ever since I tried a first product from Mac, about three years ago I fell in love with this brand. Beautiful, sleek packaging, long lasting products, great variety, you name it. And lately I have been going crazy with the shopping there.

The latest addition to my Mac collection is a blush. Like most of my purchases lately this was an impulse buy, so I didn´t really have an idea of what I want. Which is probably not the best thing going in a Mac store. Way to dangerous for the wallet. Ha ha. Anyways I decided to grab a blush that I can wear everyday. I have chosen a sheretone blush called Peaches. You now I love corals, especially on my cheeks because they warm up my skin tone. It´s really all I use right now and I love it.

As the name suggest it is a perfect peachy color blush. It´s very soft and sheer, but buildable. Also quite long lasting. The packaging is sleek and compact, travel friendly. I know winter time isn´t really the time for a blush this bright but I think this one is wearable in all seasons. Which is great for a product that is on a pricey side.

Do you own any Mac blushes? Any favourites? Let me know.





Love,

Catrice Cosmetics Infinite Shine Lip gloss




Well hello,

I might have mentioned this before but I don´t really like wearing lip glosses. Which is ironic, because when I was little I always sported clear lip gloss and it was actually my first makeup product I have ever bought. I just don´t like the stickiness and the feel on the lips. However, I really like wearing nude lipsticks which sometimes need a small coat of lip gloss to make them wearable, especially the lightest ones.

For that purpose I picked up the Catrice Cosmetics Infinite Shine Lip gloss. The name pretty much says it all. It is extremely shiny formula, almost wet looking. On the lips it feels very light and most important it doesn´t feel sticky. The applicator is quite small but effective. The color I have chosen is 030 Rose, Would You...which is a nice nude, rosy color. This one is shimmer free and quite sheer. It adds just enough color to the lips to pull the look together. Ia actually pretty like this one. I am still not the biggest fan of lip glosses but I quite enjoy using this one. Hope this helps.




Love,

MaxFactor 2000 Calorie Dramatic Volume Mascara



before
after


Well hello,

I have been using Maybelline Falsies Mascara for a couple of years now. In my opinion it is one of the best and affordable drugstore mascaras and it is well loved in a beauty community. I don´t usually tend to experiment with mascaras because I always go back to the falsies one. This time I´m glad I did.

I bought the MaxFactor 2000 Calorie Dramatic Volume Mascara on sale, with a recommendation a of a sales girl. She claimed it was the best mascara she has ever used and with a little hesitation I bought the mascara. The color is really intense and the formula is quite creamy. It glides onto lashes and dries relatively quickly. The wand is not anything special but it works for my lashes. The size is just right, big enough for quick application, small enough to fit lower lashes. What I especially like about it  is that is buildable with each coat it gets more intense and lashes look more voluminous, but it doesn´t clamp the lashes together. It can look pretty natural or dramatic, perfect to fit any look.

I have been using this mascara for weeks now and I can see myself sticking to using this one for a while. It also comes in a waterproof form and it is really affordable.





Love,
