MAC Strobe Liquid in 'Golden Elixir'

"Blending soft focus diffusers with iridescent pigments, this ultra-fluid strobe formula produces a soft radiant light on the skin, reducing the appearance of skin imperfections by providing a natural looking glow. Spreads on smoothly and absorbs quickly leaving the skin looking healthier and more radiant. A lighter weight addition to the popular strobe cream." - MAC

I've never used a strobe liquid before, MAC has one permanent strobe liquid which has a pink base and I've always been intrigued but pink on a tan complexion I never really gave it a go. But when MAC's Temperature Rising Bronzing Summer Collection came out I knew I had to have the limited edition 'Golden Elixir' version!

The Body Shop - Bits and Pieces...

Hey guys hope your all doing well! 

I popped into the Body Shop a couple of weeks ago to pick up my favorite makeup removing wipes which I blogged about here. I decided to pick and and try some other bits for your face:

Facial Buffer

Facial Loofah Pads

Facial Massager

I really really like the Facial Buffer - I use it with a facial scrub and I just like the control and pressure I get when I use it. It makes my skin feel squeaky clean and really well exfoliated. The other cool product is the Facial Loofah Pads - now these are quite rough, even when wet but I really appreciate how it works on my nose pores. It's quite abrasive and can make your skin go red, while I didn't have any redness it did work great at removing makeup, dirt and excess sebum on my nose; that's the only part of my skin that gets oily especially when the weather warms up. My pores are more prominent so the loofah pads exfoliate elements that encourage them to be more visible.

The facial massager in my opinion is great tool. Now some may call me lazy for not just using my fingers to massage my face but I actually just give preference to this little massaging device and if I'm honest it's quite fun or funny! I did however on a more serious note realise that my complexion looked much more plump and healthier - I guess the massage to get the blood flow rolling really works so i'm not complaining either way!

I'm really enjoying these new products I've incorporated into my skin care routine and if your after a exfoliating partner definitely check out the buffer or pads. If your feeling really fancy pants grab the massager! I totally love it!

Ben Nye Media Pro NK-1 Conceal All Wheel Concealer - Review, Photos & Swatches

"Concealers fit in the palm of your hand in compact four-color Wheel. All are now formulated in the MediaPRO formula for a flawless natural finish that needs little powder." - Ben Nye.

Ben Nye Media Pro NK-1 Conceal All Wheel Concealer is a professional and quality concealer used by makeup artists. I decided to give this concealer a go after falling in love with the Ben Nye Powders which I reviewed here. 

What I immediately loved about this concealer was it's coverage in one swipe. Over the last few weeks I've had a chance to test out the colours and use them for neutralizing, concealing and highlighting purposes.

MAC Ravishing Lipstick - Review, Photos & Swatches

'Ravishing' is a permanent lipstick at MAC with a 'Cremesheen' formula. Cremesheen is one of my favorite finishes they aren't too sheer yet pigmented enough to give medium coverage, they are also moisturising and creamy. 'Ravishing' is described as a 'Clean Light Peachy Coral'. 

I've wanted 'Ravishing' in what seems like forever!

MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick - Review, Photos & Swatches

"Limited-edition shade of RiRi Woo, a vivid cool red with matte finish created by Rihanna." - MAC

The release of RiRi Woo Lipstick was one intense release if I say so myself! I would have ignored it if it wasn't for the hype surrounding it! The anticipation of it's shade, texture, packaging and of course being a Rihanna creative release had everyone wondering and so my curiosity got the better of me! I'd rather have one than lose out! 

There was some sort of queue system where you had to select it and wait without refreshing, pressing the back browser button or closing your window and just wait......wait.....wait....until you got a successful page refresh telling you RiRi Woo Lipstick was added your basket! My God it was an intense wait I had my iPhone trying to bag one and my laptop too!

Within a couple of hours it was sold out, being a online exclusive launch I suddenly had to have one! If I'm totally honest the story behind it being a revived up Ruby Woo Lipstick had my ears standing because Ruby Woo is my all time favorite lipstick. I wasn't actually to bothered about it being a Rihanna collaboration.

RiRi Woo is described as a 'Matte Cool Red' with a 'Retro Matte Finish'. 

Take A MINT...Blazer with you

A very quick outfit post today! I have so many errands to run so I just slipped on my reliable black chiffon dress, skinny jeans and the highlight of my outfit is this Mint coloured blazer. It was quite chilly outside and I kind of wished I had a thicker jacket! I'll only be pulling this blazer out again once the weather warms up and there's a need for a light jacket - I don't think or feel it's hot enough yet!

Outfit:

Black Chiffon Dress - Karen Millen

Skinny Jeans - Zara

Mint Blazer - Bershka

Pointed Vamp Leopard Shoes - Zara

Bag - Louis Vuitton Multicolor Alma

I'm totally in love with the colour Mint - it's one of my favorites and I can't wait to wear it this summer!!!
