I ecstatically bring to you my thoughts on the Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation. When I first saw this foundation in the ‘Recommended for You’ section of Sephora’s website, I was immediately intrigued. Maybe because of its non-traditional foundation shape. The range consists of 29 shades, that does a good job of covering fair to deep complexions. Although the tan to deep section could definitely use some more additions! I tried out the shades Y340 & Y360. Both have yellow undertones. Marc Beauty’s Shameless Foundation is said to be a hydrating, medium coverage foundation. It contains SPF 25. The official description states that it has an oil free formula and the product is self setting. With promises of 24 hour wear. I was stoked to put it to the test for at least 14 hours that is. Beginning with the packaging, it’s shaped almost like a pebble. Such a design is…
Today I’m sharing my thoughts on one of Fenty’s newest releases. The Fenty Pro Filt’R Concealer. To accompany the amazing Pro Filt’R Soft Matte Longwear Foundation. Which is still highly raved about, after being released in 2017. The Fenty Pro Filt’R Concealer is available in an astounding 50 shades! Now, that’s what you call a truly inclusive shade range! I tried out the shades: 220, 235 & 250. Let’s talk packaging. The Concealers are encased in aesthetically pleasing tubes, made from a non-slip material. Grip is important to those like myself, who have accidentally dropped at least a dozen glass tubes of concealer in their lifetime. So 10/10 from me for this one. The formula is creamy and provides a FULL coverage, matte finish. It’s a one step correct and conceal kind of product. As it’s able to both conceal discolouration and brighten tired/dull looking skin. The coverage is intense and hence…
It goes without saying that the original Urban Decay Naked Palette is iconic. It was a staple product in everyone’s makeup routine, from the time that it released to years after. I got my hands on it in 2012 (if I’m not mistaken) and learned to do brown/black smokey eyes with that very palette! Although the original has been discontinued, Urban Decay has graciously blessed us with the launch of their NEW Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette! Urban Decay launches the NAKED Reloaded Palette as the glow up version of the original. Lets start with the packaging of the palette itself. UD has opted to ditch its metallic casing this time around and chosen quite the unique casing (which I have never seen before). A padded fabric with the brands logo in gold is now in place. Considerably lighter and more travel friendly than any other Naked palette. Naked Reloaded consists…

Make Up For Ever recently launched their Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self- Setting Concealers! It’s always an exciting moment whenever MUFE adds to their Ultra HD line up! I tried out a few shades over the last few weeks and have finally sat down to write my thoughts. Available in 22 shades, the new Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer is best described as a medium to full, buildable coverage concealer, with a natural finish. Make Up For Ever’s official description states that it diffuses light and provides up to 12 hours of creaseless wear. The Ultra HD self-setting concealer has a part fluid and cream consistency. This provides you with a bit of extra time to perfect the application of your concealer. You’ve probably heard beauty addicts say that a product ‘blends like a dream’ countless times. However, there is no better way to describe the blend-ability of MUFE’s…
It’s always a good day, when I get to talk about my favourite haircare brand, Kerastase! I’ve been a die-hard fanatic of their Chronologiste range and have recruited countless family and friends to join my obsession. Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on the Kerastase Aura Botanica range. Which I’ve been using for over a month now, and have compiled what I love and don’t love so much about it. I also had the amazing opportunity to give away a complete Kerastase Aura Botanica range via my Instagram this past Holiday! If I were to quickly summarize what Kerastase products are to me, it’d be: products that repair, replenish, revive your hair and leave behind a heavenly scent. The Aura Botanica range is entirely different than the Kerastase ranges I’ve been using up until now. That’s because it’s their take on an almost entirely nature sourced range, combined with…
