Mac Kinda sexy lipstick

 


Well hello,

it´s sexy time...well Kinda Sexy! Ha ha. For all you Mac lovers you probably already know what I am talking about. Ever since I bought Mac´s Ravishing lipstick I have been calculating which Mac lipstick I just need and should choose next. And I have chosen Kinda sexy.

I really wanted a neutral shade I can wear with every eye look and in every season. Kinda sexy is a Matt formula which is my favourite finish of all. You would think it would dry out your lips, but no. Its quite moisturizing and long lasting at the same time. The color is a deeper beige, almost brown color with a hint of orange. I'm sure it is catered for darker skin tone, but looks great on all skin tones. It is not the usual nude choice, but beautiful and elegant regardless. I am not at all surprised for choosing this one, because I don´t think the lighter nude, almost concealer nude shade would suit me. And I also wanted something I can wear on a regular basis. The Mac lipsticks have a signature scent. They smell like vanilla. They are a bit pricey, but worth the splurge. What do you think about them? Let me know which one I should pick up next?

Love,

Essence All About Matt foundation

Well hello,

my love for make up started with Essence. This was the cheapest brand available in my drugstore perfect for a beginner, hungry for experimenting like me. But ever since Catrice Cosmetics came out, which is Essence sister brand, I kinda forgott all about Essence. I found the products a little better, the packaging prettier and sadly a bit more expensive. Lately I have been hearing a lot about Essence, people raving about them so I visited their stand once again.

I ran out of my current foundation so I picked up Essence All About Matt foundation. I have been using it for about two weeks and I am quite surprised with the results. It claims to be mattifying, oil-free foundation for a flawless and radiant finish that covers imperfections without clogging the pores. The formula should be long-lasting and moisturising, lasting up to 12 hours. First I thought only 12 hours? I am used to foundations and other products claiming to last up to 24 hours, which usually isn´t correct anyways.

The formula is quite liquidy, which makes it easy for application and blending. It can leave streaks. It quickly dries to Matt, silky finish, yet stays radiant. And I love it. This way I don´t have to cake on my powder. It´s quicker and looks more natural. If you have troubled skin this foundation is probably not the answer for you, as it´s light to medium coverage. It also has a quite pleasant sent, nothing too overpowering. Its a shame it only comes in three different shades. Mine is the lightest, Matt Beige or number 10. But as it dries it becomes slightly orange toned and a bit darker. If you are not too light, this should work for you. I mix it with lighter foundation to create the right shade for me. The mattifying effect stays on surprisingly long. It feels light on the skin, perfect for everyday use.
