♡Tutorial :using NAKED 2 palette ♡


Hey lovelies.

Today's look is using naked 2 palette since most of you already have it..

Here is the final look ..



Steps to achieve this look ..

1- first prime your lid using urban decay primer potion 
2- using MAC224 tapered blending brush dust the color "TEASE" in the crease .. 
3-using MAC 239 eye shader brush .. press the color "blackout " on the lid and try not to add any of that black color in the crease ..
4-using MAC 217 blending brush ..blend the color "busted " in the crease ..
5-using the 219 brush , put bootycall in the inner corner and as the underbrow highlighter ..

I also used on top of bootycall the bourjois highlighter but you don't have to do this step 

under the eye I used from inside to outside .. bootycall,busted then blackout 

Mascara:benefit they're real ...

and you are finished 
voila :)

 .. the finished look 



hope you enjoyed this ,
if you tried this look , I would love to see it ..and post your version in the comments below ..

Review :Bourjois bronzing powder 52 ♡



What I love about it :

 Cute packaging
Sheer powder – makes it easy to use
Buildable color intensity
Blends easily 
Matte finish with sparse minute gold shimmer
good price 

What I hate about it : 

Staying power, barely 6 hours and May be discontinued

In conclusion, not only is it the most inexpensive bronzer I have ever used but it is probably the BEST. Yes, I said it, the best bronzer I have ever used! I am going to go and pick a few more up just in case they sell out of stop producing them and I suggest you do to. The smell, the finish and the colour are simply wonderful. 

Hope that was helpful,

Review :Bourjois Delice de Poudre Highlighting Powder ♡

I just thought I would share with you all a product that I had for years now and still in love with it. !





Overall rating: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Packaging quality: 4/5
Would I buy this again? Yes :D
WHAT IS IT? A powder highlighter by Bourjois.


HOW DO YOU USE IT? Lightly tap your fan brush over the powder and then apply to the high planes of your face – cheekbones, chin and centre of the nose for a glow from within. Can also be applied to décolletage.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? The powder, shaped like a block of chocolate, is housed in a cardboard book style.

TEXTURE AND/OR SMELL: Smooth and silky to touch with a slight chocolate-y smell.
Inside, it says (on the packaging):
“Give into your craving and enhance your beauty! All the intensity of light captured in a fine pearly powder for an instant burst of radiance. Its delicious perfume and ultra soft texture will have you melting with pleasure. Apply with the brush over your delletage and add highlights to your face (forehead, cheekbones, chin) for a sheer luminous result”.
I used this today to highlight my cheeks and my brow bones and I am impressed. It gave me the most subtle and radiant glow!
The pearly layer over the powder means a *slight* shimmer only when the light hits and not glittertastic like many highlighters.
As a browbone highlighter, it gives a very soft and glowy effect which I love! I’ve been using other highlighters which just seem so harsh.
The texture itself is fantastic! Smooth like butter and great pigmentation for a highlighting powder. I didn’t have to reapply the powder nor redip my brush again onto the powder.
Now..the smell. Usually, I am not a fan of fragrances in cosmetics cos half the time, it doesn’t smell that nice but this surprised me. It’s got a nice chocolate vanilla smell and it’s not overpowering. More of light scent which doesn’t actually linger after you’ve applied it to your face.
overall ,it is one of favorites..really love it :)
Hope that was helpful ,

MAC Lustre Drops Review, Photos, Swatches =)

Another product and another review ! =) 



I own this product for 1 year now and let me tell you ..it's breath taking ! 
it gives this angelic touch without being too much .. 


it comes in 2 shades 

Pink Rebel is described as a “blue pink with gold pearl.” I really don’t see blue-pink when I swatch it (or even just looking at it). It’s a peached, pink champagne with a soft bronze metallic shimmer and sheen.  
Sun Rush is described as a “peachy bronze with gold pearl.” This is a medium-dark golden bronze with warm undertones and rich gold shimmer and sheen.

I only got the pink rebel since it suits my skin tone more :)

Here are the swatches :

 A tiny dot is enough ..

Blended a little bit ..

Lord & Berry smudgeproof eyeliner ..MAGIC !



Black eye liner is probably my all time favorite cosmetic. I'm always on the lookout for a great one that is long wearing, easy to apply, waterline-safe, and of course, VERY black. I think I found it. The Lord and Berry SMUGDPROOF eyeliner is all of those things...and more. This is the only pencil I've ever used that applies so wonderfully to the waterline. In one light stroke, you get the most intense opaque black line that will stick around throughout the day (and night) without reapplying !. At the longest, I wore this product for 8 hours and actually had to work to remove it from that area. I was very impressed by just how long-lasting it is. It's also very non-irritating. While wearing this product, my eyes never felt uncomfortable.
As you can see in the swatches, this liner is extremely pigmented and very black.

I got 2 of them , in black and Aqua .. 




SWATCHES :



These eye liners are available in a wide range of colors ..

Review :They’re Real mascara ...


Benefit Cosmetics multi-tasking mascara, They’re Real .. 


The company's Results. The company is boasting some great results from a consumer panel survey:
  • 94% saw dramatic length and volume
  • 90% saw base-to-tip curl
  • 94% saw visible lift
  • 100% saw long-wearing results 


My opinion :  it really works ! it gives this long dramatic lashes , and the lashes look like you have false ones on ..the wand is really fantastic ...

 This mascara is really MAGIC in a bottle ! 

so my opinion in short ,If you didn't get it ..get up and get it NOW !! ..I have used 4 and have 2 more as backups ! can't imagine my life without it <3

order it now 
Visit benefitcosmetics.com for more info and a list of stores.

Review:MAC nail polish




Styleseeker is a shimmery orange/red duochrome. The formula was pretty decent, a little on the thick side. I did use three thin coats here.



Review :Max Factor lipfinity ! MAGIC !

I got this lip gloss 2 days ago and at first I was not sure how it would work ,I just wanted a pink lip gloss ,but when I got home and tried it ,,I was freaking AMAZED ! ..it was literally MAGIC ! ..

I got 2 shades ..COY (050) and ANGELIC (020)

Coy is a purple -with pinkish undertones in the tube but on your lips it will settle as a beautiful purple color 




Angelic is a peach-pink color in the tube but one your lips it is PINK (like the perfect shade of pink ! )



both are matte ! which is what I liked about them ..

well the MAGICAL PART is that it will not MOVE ! eat drink ,do whatever you want ..it won't move at all ! ..

there is no cons about this product , it is light weighted , you won't feel that you have anything on your lips ! 

hope it was helpful .. 
stay tuned for more upcoming reviews 






NAKED 1 VS. NAKED 2 !

HEY ! :D
well, I know this may be done for zillions times now , but I found out that there are still some of out there who didn't get both naked 1 and naked 2 .. so I though I should make a comparison to show each palette individually :D ..just in case you are planning for buying one of them since both are quiet similar ..
so here I go ..

NAKED 1 includes :

Virgin -nude satin
 Sin -champagne shimmer
 Naked -buff matte
 Sidecar -beige sparkle 
Buck -brown matte 
Half Baked -bronze
Smog -golden brown shimmer
 Darkhorse -bronze-plum shimmer
Toasted -taupe-bronze
 Hustle -mocha shimmer
Creep -near-black metallic
Gunmetal -dark grey metallic


NAKED 2 includes :

Foxy - matte cream
Half-Baked - metallic neutral gold
Bootycall - satin champagne (very similar to Virgin from the original Naked palette)
Chopper - metallic rose gold with silver micro glitters
Tease - matte mushroom taupe with purple undertones
Snakebite - satin deep bronze 
Suspect - satin light taupe
Pistol - satin warm steel grey
Verve - pale metallic slightly pinky grey 
YDK - metallic toasty taupe with coppery micro glitters
Busted - satin plummy dark brown
Blackout - matte black

SO now that you are fully introduced to both palettes , the question is which one should you get ?? 
well, 

Both palettes are fairly similar with minor differences  ,but if you like warmer tones then go with the naked 1 , if cooler tones suits you then get naked 2 ..

stay tuned for looks using both palettes :)
