FOTD: YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick #16 Red Temptation

Hello Lovelies!




How have y'all been?  Im sorry for  M.I.A but guys I really  do miss y'all.


By now you should know I have an ongoing love obsession  for all things Yves Saint Laurent especially their Rouge Volupte lippies. No jealousing  but YSL are by far the best lipsticks I have tried to date.




 Ysl Red Temptation #16 is a fashion forward statement lipstick. Red temptation is a beautiful very bright orange red shade. Like all YSL Rouge Voluptes it is very creamy and soft. It contains SPF15 and spreads smoothly on the lips


Staying power is great,feels weightless and doesnt bleed or dry lips. I love the formula, the packaging and the variety of shades that YSL offers for all skintones. The only thing I dislike is that its not budget friendly lol

FOTD: MAC SO CHAUD LIPSTICK!

Hello Beauties!





How are we all??  As some of you may know I recently purchased Mac Matte lipstick in So Chaud so today I am sharing a few pics of me rocking it. Mac So Chaud is a gorgeous orange shade,althought its matte I didnt find it that drying. I believe this shade would look beautiful on most skintones, you can add a red or brown liner or gloss on top if its too bold for you. I have a feeling this colour will get a lot of loving from me throughout summer lol

Hello Lovelies!








How are y'all??? Hope u having a beautiful weekend. Just thought would share blushes that I reach out for quite often and cant do without...!





SWATCHES FROM LEFT to RIGHT

1.Milani Powder blush in Mai Tai- a matte coral blush that is super pigmented and that suits most skintones


2.Nars Taos blush- A gorgeous desert rose shade very close to Mac Ambering Rose. Its super pigmented and its my most favourite. If I could have just one blush Taos would be it


3.Nars Taj Mahal- A vibrant tangerine orange blush with golden sheen. Texture is very smooth,it gives skin a subtle glow,Its perfect for those with deeper skintones but those with light skintones can still  find it  useful but using a very light hand


4.K By Beverley Knight contouring blush in Flame- A deep warm amber blush infused with gold sparkles,it gives a lovely flush of colour and is perfect for everyday use


5.Barry Blusher in #4 Rasberry- A bright magenta pink powder blush that is very pretty and nicely pigmented.


6. Sleek Rose Gold blush- A dupe to the famous Nars Orgasm blush,its a gorgeous peachy pink shade with golden sheen. It is very pigmented and gives skin a healthy glow

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Foundation Review!

Hello Sweeties!






Today I bring you another review of the second foundation I bought from Lancome in March. The last time I made a post about how I was loving it,many of you asked me to do a review so look no further here it is!


LANCOME TEINT IDOLE ULTRA 24H SHADE #10 PRALINE £27.00
24H Wear&Comfort. Retouch Free. Divine Perfection SPF5
24h of wear for a divine,lasting perfection
Following 8years of research, Lancome unveils its first 24h wear foundation for lasting perfection.
With its new EternalSoft technology,Teint Idole Ultra 24h defeats all challenges. **Retouch free, Complexion stays perfectly sublime.
Shine free. Flawless.Unified

24H OF DIVINE COMFORT
In perfect affinity with the skin Teint Idole Ultra 24h is irresistibly comfortable. Its new,blendable and fresh texture is divine and leaves the complexion perfectly smooth,velvety and matte with no powdery effect.
Oil- and transfer free foundation
Sweat and friction resistant
Without mask effect
Suitable for all skin types,even sensitive
Dermatologically tested
Non-comedogenic


WHAT DO I THINK????
I absolutely love this foundation- Coverage is medium buildable which is perfect for me as I am not a fan of full coverage foundations. This foundation doesnt cake up or leave fine lines around my mouth like some foundations do. I have had compliments on my skin from family and friends saying my skin looks great and I look flawless,I was moved by the comments seriously but had already convinced myself I look amazing from the first day I wore it alone in the house lol


Although Lancome states that this is a 24hour foundation I cannot backup that claim as I never wear foundation for that long anyways who does? I  have worn this foundation without a primer and setting powder from 8am in the morning when I left the house to 10pm at night when I get back home now thus a total of 14hours and this foundation did not move. I have normal,combination skin with oily T-Zone I did not touch up my face,I never do anyway my makeup usually  stays in place all day!


PROS
*Long lasting
*Doesnt look like a mask
*Feels very light on the skin
*Looks natural
*Offers medium buildable coverage
* Can be used by all skin types
* Blends effortlessly
*Doesnt cake up
*Doesnt oxidize
*Variety of shades is phenomenal 18 released in the UK and 28 in the USA
*Doesnt clog pores
*Gives a velvety matte finish which is not powdery


CONS
*Has rose fragrance may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin
*May need primer&setting powder if you have oily skin
*Less shades released in the UK but Im not bothered as I found my perfect match shade


OVERALL
I love it so much to give it holy grail satus. It matches me perfectly and did not break me out. Love how its long lasting with no need for touch ups.Would recommend at least getting samples before commiting to a full bottle as what works for my skin may not work for yours
