BRONZE BOOSTER


I was one of a lucky group of 20 to recently win one of these absolutely beautiful Physicians Formula

Thank you so much Karina!! :)

This product gives itself 4 ticks of approval for being;

Stain Free
Streak Free
Orange Free
Odor Free

Completely essential when using any bronzer!
It also isn't really dry or powdery, so you literally get no fall out at all.

In this picture below you can see how I have just lightly swatched the intricate detail of the
sun embossed powder. It is hard to deny how incredibly beautiful the tone and shade of
this is and you can only imagine how lovely this would look brushed onto your cheek bones,
décolletage, shoulders or even used as a summer shadow on your eyelids.

To touch briefly on the packaging. I don't feel like I really need to point out how elegant and
classy it is. Not to mention cleverly functional as it has an inbuilt compact mirror and applicator
brush inside to make life easier. This is especially ideal when travelling or on the run so no need to
worry about finding or packing mirrors and brushes. It's all here in one place!

This bronzing powder can be used for tanning, contouring and highlighting.
It has a subtle shimmer to it, however the results appear natural and sun kissed.
                                                                    Physicans Formula Bronze Booster                                        Light to Medium

DREAM WONDER


MAYBELLINE

Dream Wonder Foundation!


I have been trialling this new foundation by Maybelline through Beautyheaven's 
Trial Team over the past few weeks and despite hearing quite a bit of negativity 
regarding this product, I have to say, I am really enjoying it! 
The unique and different packaging in particular!

 I have never used a foundation with an applicator wand like this. 
When you unscrew the cap a long wand with a tear drop shape at the end appears
 which I have found easiest to apply straight onto my skin in spots around my face
 and then blend into my skin with either my fingers as recommended or my 
beauty blender sponge which works a treat at spreading out the 
formulation and concealing my imperfections seamlessly!


The glass bottle is only 20ml, so smaller than most other foundation bottles on 
the market and smaller than any other in my collection.
 I have a light skin tone that isn't fair or sensitive and I found the shade 
Classic Ivory to be a perfect match!


Even though the formula contains an SPF of 20, it doesn't feel at all greasy, honestly!
 In fact, upon application the liquid quickly dries and feels more to me like a powder! 
It has a very smooth feeling to it and I found after about 10 minutes or so the 
coverage appeared to go from light to more of a medium. 
So I would recommend waiting a few minutes if you have the time before deciding 
weather or not to add more foundation to your face to build up the coverage 
as it seemed to look better as the day wore on. Having said that, the lasting ability
 was also great! It easily lasted the day without the need for any kind of touching up 
It also did not transfer onto any of my clothes which can be so annoying, 
don't we all know it!?
The scent of this Maybelline Dream Wonder foundation is a little potent and may
 bother some sensitive noses. However you cannot smell it once applied. 
Only if you sniff the bottle upon opening it will you get a whiff of the high 
alcohol content this formulation contains. 

Overall, I would rate this foundation quite highly as I am really enjoying reaching
 for it each day over my others at the moment and enjoying the unique way in 
which it is applied and how it feels on my skin. At the end of the day my skin usually
 feels a little greasy and appears a tad on the shiny side. Somehow this founation 
reduces this! Perhaps it is the velvety, powder like finish. I think it is great!


I would happily and confidently recommend this product and would purchase 
it for the current RRP of $21.95 (AU).
One of the better foundations I have tried in terms of how flawless it makes my skin look.

Have you tried this foundation?
What do you think of the unique looking wand?

Battle Of The Red Lipsticks!


Who doesn't love a classic red lip. It's classy, timeless and looks totally sexy on any woman. But with so many brands out there providing us with so many similar choices, it's enough to make me wonder. Is there a perfect red lipstick? And if so, what is it?

Today i am going to share just some of my Favourites in my collection. You can never have too many right? 

Top (Left to Right)
Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple
Rimmel Kate Moss in Kiss Of Life
Maybelline NY in Cherry Candy

Bottom (Left to Right)
L'Oréal Color Riche in Red Passion
Shiseido in Perfect Rouge/Rouge Parfait

Other classic and timeless red things I love...

Hearts!
What can I say, I'm a romantic. I love love and all that goes with it.

Heels!
Every wardrobe wouldn't be complete without a pair of red heels!
If nothing fits, you're having a fat day or just feeling plain blah, then pop your lil peepers into a pair of these to instantly look and feel sexy! A bonus is shoes always fit! (Well usually!)
-
Flowers!

There's something special about flowers. Especially red ones. If someone gives you red flowers, you know they're feeling something special towards you.
They always smell amazing and are simply classic! 
-
Strawberries!
Yuuuum!  
Sweet, healthy, packed full of vitamin C and a natural teeth whitener.
Win, win, win!
