Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer Review

I discovered primers a few years ago and really like the concept of a primer. A primer is applied after moisturising your face and before foundation as a base, to give you a more flawless look and make your makeup last longer.

I have tried a few and I have found that the Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer gives instant and really good results.

Loreal says: Smoothness you can touch, transformation you can see, even up close! New Base Magique transforming smoothing primer instantly smoothes pores and creates an even surface, so that you get a more flawless make-up result that lasts. The silky, lightweight formula glides onto skin and minimises the look of pores and fine lines to transform your skin surface. Dermatologically Tested.

The Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer comes in a jar 15ml, you unscrew the top and dip your finger in to take out the product.
 
The texture of this is velvety smooth, thick creamy and applies smoothly and easy on to the skin. When applying this on to the skin it feels thick, but easy to blend onto the skin. I instantly see this covering my pores and redness creating a smooth even base, love it! That is exactly what I need for my skin and it works really well. I wait a few minutes and then apply my foundation on top, the foundation does apply easily over the primer.

This is great for all skin types except for excessively oily skin. I'd recommend this to anyone who has pores and redness that you want to cover up and create a nice base for your foundation. The Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer is available at department stores and retails for $29.95aud

Do you use a primer?

CHINESE DRAGONFLY SILK PURSE


Hello my friends! Check out my new finds. I am so in love with this adorable Chinese blue silk purse. It resembles a Chinese take out  bag and is made from fine blue silk with dragonfly embroidery. Though it is a mini-purse, I was surprised to find out that it has just enough of space for your wallet, makeup and phone. It also has a built-in mirror. The bamboo handle is cute too.





This metallic set makes such a statement! The length of the necklace is adjustable. It can work as a choker or a longer necklace. The part in a middle is a real mirror.


For more info about this necklace and earrings click here










By the way, this wig is my favorite. Out of all my wigs, this one is the most comfortable and realistically looking. I will be posting about this wig in my Shop .


You can find this adorable purse on this site http://eabshop.blogspot.com/

Glossi - online beauty website, great brands and great prices!

I love online shopping and have found another fantastic online website that sells great brands at great prices. I discovered Glossi about a year ago and it is the one website I will visit regularly.

Glossi is 100% Australian owned and operated.

With Glossi they sell well known beauty brands that we buy from department stores such as Revlon, Maybelline, Covergirl, Neutrogena, Loreal, Almay, Max Factor and more.

The prices on the products are excellent and you can save up to 70% off retail prices.
The website itself is so easy to use and you can browse through the products by brand or categories.

The Revlon quad shown above retails for $25.95, at Glossi it is $9.95 (saving of 62%) The Almay bright eyes as shown above retails for $19.95, at Glossi is is $9.95 (saving of 50%).

They often have special deals or clearances on items, you will definitely pick up great bargains.

Their customer service has been fantastic for me and they deliver to Australia within a few days and have international shipping.

I would highly recommend Glossi for great products and great prices, check them out at the Glossi website!

MUST HAVES PURSES - CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN'S CAPSULE COLLECTION

Hello guys! I saw this collection on internet today, was wowed by it and could not wait to share it with you!
So, we all know Christian Louboutin as a fabulous shoe designer, but for his 20th year Anniversary as a designer he came up with a purses collection called "CAPSULE COLLECTION"!!!
The capsule purse above represents this collection. I picture someone who is very comfortable, brave, has a fantastic sense of humor and great ways about herself wearing this purse. Let's hope it doesn't represents a dying society, but made as a fun idea:-) . I can see myself with this purse:-)))))

This purse is called "Artemis Plumes" and is fabulous and very flamboyant. 
Love! Love! Love!

This purse is called "Newspaper". I like this purse for its simplicity and vintage look, but somehow it doesn't go with the rest of the collection.

This purse is called "Artemis Paris" and is my favorite out of all collection. It looks like all  wonders of Paris are beautifully places on the top of the handle and surrounded by a bunch of fancy metallic spikes. 10 out of 10 for this one! Amazing job, Christian!

 This purse called "Maykimay Degrade" is another beautiful piece of art that is non-cohesive with the rest of this collection in my opinion. 
"Artemis Shoemania" is another stunning piece of this collection. This purse has Christian Louboutin's red signature lining on the top of the handle.  If a purse and a shoe had a child, they would get "Artemis Shoemania". Nicely done!
                           
Did you like this collection? Which purse is your favorite?

MY TRIBUTE TO WHITNEY HOUSTON


I decided to make this post in response to a lot of negative publicity about Whitney Houston in these past few days. Yes, we all know about her drug addiction, double life she lived and wrong choices she made. But I would like to remember her for being drop-gorgeous, crazy talented, trend-setter and that irresistible smile. There will be only one Whitney Houston that made us watch "Bodyguard" probably like 20 times and cry every time listening "I will always love you". 


 
 

 









                                        REST IN PEACE WHITNEY! YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer Review

I love concealers and am always on the search for great ones. Concealer is something that I use everyday, even if I am not wearing much makeup I am always wearing a concealer under my eyes. Recently Maybelline came out with a new product called Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment concealer.

The packaging of this product is compact and easy to carry around which I like. It comes in a 6ml plastic tube with a puffy top where the concealer comes out of once you wind it up.

Maybelline says: Micro-Corrector Applicator micro-fills and smoothes. Active formula with Haloxyl reduces the look of puffiness and shadows while fading the appearance of under-eye circles. Apply neutralizer shade for extreme dark circles. Brightener shade adds a luminous touch.

The texture of this concealer is creamy not too thin or not too thick. It applies smoothly when you apply it with the puffy ball and then blend out with your ring finger. The puffy ball is the perfect size for under the eye area which makes it easy to apply.

I don't have dark circles, but rather little imperfections under my eye that I want to conceal and this works great. I have a light skintone, so finding the right shade for me in any makeup is always hard, but I found the light pale in this range matches well.

Getting the product out of the puffy top requires you to twist the red top until the product comes out which can be a bit tedious, but it does come out after a few clicks. The puffy ball is what gives it the smooth application.

On the packaging it says that the puffy top is protected with an anti-microbial system so you don't need to wash it, just wipe off excess with dry tissue. I always make sure that I use up all the concealer that comes out when I wind up the top (so only wind up a little, to get a little product and build up if you need more) and this works well for me.

The coverage is great, it does conceal well for me and doesn't settle into fine lines. There is also a brightener shade which is a really light bright shade which works well if I do get dull, puffy skin - I apply a little of it first and then the concealer shade I like on top to give me a more awake look. (the brightener shade would work well if you had dark circles to use on first and then apply with your concealer shade)


Overall the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer works well for me and is my concealer I use at the moment. The eraser contains essential oils and vitamin C, as well as ingredients with proven anti-inflammatory benefits. It retails for $18.95aud from supermarkets or department stores.

What concealer are you using at the moment?
