MAKEUP REVOLUTION BAKED HIGHLIGHTERS

Hey Dolls,

I know I have been MIA for the longest time but i have been caught up with so many things but I have some new makeup products which I am going to review for the next weeks with you guys...So Stay Glued to  my Blog!

So today I have a Review from the Makeup Revolution London Brand, A lot of bloggers has been raving about them and how good they really are and apparently they keep dropping new products occassionally and I must Saw I am very Impressed with their products,I did order some other products from them but this stood out to me the most.In the U.k its available in Super drugs according to the posts I have read,But readily available Online for the rest of Europe and the Shipping fee ain't too bad.

This Baked blushes are Long lasting and can be compared to other high end blushers such as NARS, and MAC!...The Golden Lights can be compared to Nars Albatross and as for the peach Lights,I haven't seen a dupe for it yet but its a gorgeous highlighter with a lilac undertone and they are both long lasting throughout the day/Night!It was really difficult getting an exact swatch color of Peach Lights on my skin tone as it was appearing quite pale on camera but actually in real Life its really gorgeous and Its my favorite Go to highlighter

Price wise they cost 3 pounds Each!Like 3 pounds...If you are a budget friendly person when it comes to makeup...This is the BEST drugstore highlighter (In my opinion)

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS DIP BROW POMADE










Hey Beautiful,
So today Blog Post is About the most raved about DipBrow Pomade that launched into the beauty world earlier this year,and there was a HUGE hype about it from various you-tubers so I decided to Purchase it.

I purchased it in February for about 4 thousand naira(€20) when I was in Lagos from one of the few online Stores that's sells International beauty Products Accessoriesng.com and I must say Customer Service was Very Good,Chatted via blackberry Messenger and One the day of the Delivery I received a phone call from the manager notifying My order was on its way just to make sure Some one was home to Sign for my Package.

So I ordered the shade Dark Brown 'cause most of my eyebrow products are always dark brown anyways so I thought this wont be any different...WRONG MOVE ,I applied it on my Brows and at first it looked alright,the application was very smooth,laid all my hairs down and gave me that full looking eyebrows  but i noticed there was something off about the Color on my brow so I decided to take a picture and I noticed in the Picture my eyebrows looked washed out and grey looking...Took more pictures with and without flash,outdoor and indoor still the same problem,Then I re-applied using my Davis brow pencil to outline my brow before applying pomade  using my Real Technique brow brush..Still the same Problem.

I then Contacted a friend who also had ordered and I explained to her what was going on and she told me I bought a WRONG SHADE ,she said that I should have purchased Ebony or Chocolate as its well suited to dark skin tones and Dark brown is for lighter skin tones,what a bummer ; I wasn't really ready to spend another 4 thousand naira(€20) on another brow pomade that didn't really do much for my brows,So I Bought an Alternative Product works for me.

To be Honest,Aside it not being my shade it really doesn't do anything for my eyebrows and I wont be repurchasing this in the near future,I think I would Just stick to My Davis Eyebrow Pencil!
I have an Eyebrow Tutorial On my You-tube...You can Check it out HERE.

Until Next Time,

YvesSaintLaurent LE TEINT TOUCHE ECLAT FOUNDATION











Hey Dolls,
I really don't know Why I raved about this Foundation on my Blog...Guess I was just having a fab time enjoying this Illuminating Foundation that gives me Weightless perfection and Dimensional Radiance to My face.

I Started using this Foundation back in January and It has been my Staples in My Makeup Kit for over 6 month and I must say This is what I call Foundation of Life!!!I don't wear this foundation everyday,This is what I refer to as my "Outing Foundation" funny right? I Only wear this when I have a special Occasion to attend to or I wanna take a Perfect Picture Photo.

Shade Wise I am Purchased B80 but it's dark for me Because I bought it right before I traveled to Lagos,Nigeria ; Silly me was thinking I was going to get a tan but I actually didn't,My Complexion was the Same I even went a bit lighter(Story for another post)So Basically I mix it with one Pump from My Revlon Color Stay in Caramel to Balance it to my Right Shade.Although this foundation is available in a wide range of shades for all Skin tones which is Great!

I purchased this Foundation online from Boots Pharmacy for €40. I had to do my research to decide what shade Would suit as The store Had no testers or whatsoever I was just told to Guess my shade which pretty sucks but I Wished there was some sort of testers in the Store before Ordering.I am not sure if this Foundation is available at Brown Thomas But am Guessing it Should be Available to Purchase .The Packaging is Just Sleek,Bright and Sophisticated,Am in love with the Gold Color,I cant bring Myself to Throwing away the box;The actual Foundation So Sleek,It has a Pump and Very Sturdy for a 30ml Foundation

This Foundation is Just a Blessing to My foundation Routine(Let me Know if you Want me to do a tutorial On my You-tube of My foundation Routine).This Foundation glides on So soft and Smooth Like Butter for that Full coverage,You get my drift;With a really good primer it last all day giving me a Photo-ready face all days for that Perfect Selfies. It also blends into the skin eliminating dullness and Imperfection giving off a Unique Luminescence Containing SPF19. 

Although Its Pricey for a foundation but Ladies its Worth it because you are worth it...But if You don't Have that Kind of Money to Spend On a Foundation,I would Recommend L'Oreal True Match Although it doesn't give the same Finish and Qualities as the YSL .

Have you Tried this Foundation?I would Love to Hear your Thoughts and Opinion

Until Next Time,

MAC MINERALIZE SKIN FINISH IN GOLD DEPOSIT












Hey Dolls,
I know its been a While,but I have been Very Active on My YOUTUBE Channel
This post is going to be about this Mac product I recently Purchased and I must say "am loving it".
I didnt really do any research before purchasing this Highlighter I didn't even swatch it on; You know when You see Something and You know its the ONE?Prior to this blusher I have been using my Sleek Highlighter that comes with the Contour Kit And that worked fine for me But I just needed Something More,but I just knew Gold Deposit was the One.
This Highlighter Has just been a blessing to my Cheeks when I apply it on,I just have that GLOW and its very pigmented; it last the whole day...Although Its not Something I would use Everyday now its Fall season but I am travelling back to the warmer Climate Very soon,This would definitely be My everyday Staple in my Foundation Routine .
The Packaging is so cute,the box has quite a matte feeling to it and the actual product really sturdy and Tight to open which is a positive thing assuring me that the product safe and not going to break even if it falls to the ground(I know because it slipped out of my hands already)
Price wise its a bit expensive but Worth it...it retails for €30 in Brown Thomas but if you do not want to spend so much money on an highlighter then The Sleek Highlighting and Contour Kit palette is a better option that retails for €12.99 or Milani highlighter for $6.49.This highlighter is also great for all Skin tones and a Must Have for Makeup Lovers Like Me.

Until Next Time,
