REVIEW - Nars multiple bronzer ('Malaysia')


Chic black packaging
Shade for medium skin with yellow undertones

Roll-up stick (like foundation stick)

This is a very versatile cream product. 
Like the other Nars multiples it can be swiped on the face and blended with great ease

- wonderful for contouring (making the face slimmer) - dabbed under the cheekbones, down the sides of the nose and on the temples

- creamy texture along with the fact it is matte
(no shimmer) - so it looks extremely natural.  

4 shades so can be matched according to
skin colour and tone

-can be applied with fingers or a dense cheek brush.

I like to apply it by dabbing it straight from the tube under my cheekbones and then blending it into my skin with the Mac 109 brush. 

For me, it is a staple - natural, bronzey, perfectly sculpted face.

Classic Look - Twiggy meets Bardot


With her big blue eyes and her glowy fair complexion -

 I wanted to draw inspiration from stars from the past. 
Brigit Bardot - with her warm dusky, nude lip, warm blond hair  
Twiggy - with those famous wide blue eyes and milky honey complexion. 
Combined they make the perfect classic blonde look -
good for both day and night.

EMMA WATSON inspired makeup

She started off as Hermione in Harry Potter -
now, a very pretty English actress, a Chanel girl and
the Burberry ad girl. 

Emma Watson's day to day look is very fresh English rose -
- fresh, rosy skin, groomed natural brows, subtle black flick and english-rose lips

REVIEW : By Terry Baume de Rose

This stuff is a bit like pure lip balm gold. 
Very expensive though, is it worth the price?


Very luxe packaging

Product photo

Size - 10g, quite a lot of products (deep pot)

Price - £32

Packaging - Luxurious glass pot with silver lid

Scent - Soft roses, sweet (but not sickly)

Texture - A true balm, creamy and moisturising

PROS
Makes matte lipsticks look fresh not dry
Moisturises lips wonderfully (lips look so moisturised after)
Plumps lips too (due to moisturise, not pain!)
Can be used over lip colour for soft sheen
Feels expensive (so it lives up to the price!)
Gorgeous packaging
Soft scent

CONS
The price!! it makes it feel like you can't take it out in case you lose it...

Why buy it - compared to drugstore/cheaper lipbalms?
Cheap lipbalms can be nice but they rarely truly give you that fully moisturised feeling for long,
the product/container also don't usually last as long either. 
Baume de Rose is the queen of lipbalms and makes you feel like you have the queen of lips.

This is a luxury brand and therefore the price is high, it is however worth it (perhaps as a birthday present)
It is beautiful and lives up to all its claims

(disclaimer - I was not sent this product to endorse, these are my honest opinions)

MEGAN FOX inspired

MEGAN FOX

Obviously my friend does not have raven black hair (and has not been rumoured to have had a nose job)
but the makeup was inspired by Megan Fox's alluring smokey cat eye.

Hope you liked
