REVLON nearly naked quick review!

I was super excited when last week a found in Manor (the local department store here in Geneva) that the Naked line from Revlon had finally arrived!! and I was even more excited when I saw the price tag: only 17 CHF!! (around 15$)

Well, I guess "only" sounds a bit ironic comparing to the price tag at the States but considering than Revlon products are most of the time highly over priced here, I can't complain. 

I picked up the powder in 020 light. I would call this shade more like medium because it's pretty dark. However while it adds a slight hint of color to my skin, it remains quite natural and not that off on me.

The texture is quite creamy and I find it adds a nice amount of coverage to the skin. So it's perfect if you decide to combined with a tinted moisturizer or a light BB cream.

The effect on the skin is matt but natural and stays pretty well during the day. You can lightly dust it on the skin or apply it with a thicker brush and padding motions for extra coverage. 

Over all is a great powder! I didn't get the foundation because a) i didn't really find my shade and b) I have way too many foundations!!

Have you already tried this powder? What do you think about it?

Thank you very much for stopping by! 

My blog will go through a huge makeover soon and I hope this helps me to get in track with my posts because I have lots of news and exciting products to talk you about!

Naked 2 vs. Undress me too palette - REVIEW

Probably you've heard this before but the NAKED 2 palette is probably my favourite neutral palette of all time. I believe I have featured it in a few of my videos. 

What happens when your favourite low cost brand comes out with an almost exact dupe?
You scream of excitement "UNDRESSED ME TOO"!! (after all you have to undressed to be naked... =P)

Yeah, bad joke there...but today I'm going to be comparing the Naked 2 palette with this palette from MUA called UNDRESSED ME TOO.

In a previous post I compared the original Naked with MUA's Undressed and I gave my opinion on MUA's eyeshadows in general. Click here for that =)

The first thing I would say when I look at both of them is that both are extremely similar- minus size and packaging of course.

Now, let's take a look at the eyeshadows.

MUA BLUSH PERFECTION Cream Blusher Review

Today I'll be talking about cheeks and a product that I'm enjoying a lot lately to help me get a natural and fresh complexion.

MUA BLUSH PERFECTION Cream Blusher

Described in the site as "very versatile and multi-purpose. They can be directly applied to bare skin, layered over foundation or set with the matching matte blushers in the £1 MUA range. You can use blush perfection to highlight your cheekbones, shape your face, build and blend with fingers or a brush to create the colour intensity"

Out of the 4 shades available I have 3: Blossom, Yummy and Dolly. The 4th one is Bittersweet a light baby pink.

My lip obsession: MUA INTENSE Glosses

One of the Make-up brands that I've been obsessed about is Make Up Academy, MUA.

And since I have accumulated quite a nice amount of products from this brand lately, what better excuse to get back to blogging after so long than letting the world know how amazing this brand is =D 

Today, I'm sharing with you one of my favourite lip products lately.

The MUA INTENSE KISSES High Intensity Gloss.

At only 2£ each you can not go wrong but does the quality of this product meet my expectations?

My (NEW) two favourite blushes! H&M blushes review

I don't know if you've ever paid attention to H&M's make-up collection. To be honest, as the beauty addict and make up lover that I am, I would always look around and spend some quality time to go through their line but I have never really bought anything until recently. 

And I have to say so far I'm loving what I bought and I am quite impressed quality wise.

Today I want to talk about this two gorgeous blushes that have become my favourite and the only thing I use lately.

12. Dazzling Peach and 17. Tawny Rose (price around 6 FCH)

Dazzling Peach is a lovely rosy-peach everyday color. It has little tiny sparkles that give a healthy fresh look to the skin. It's creamy in texture, pigmented but very blendable.

I think Tawny Rose is my favourite. I love this type of dusty-warm rose colors. I find this one in particular to be a very special color. The camera is not making justice to it. It has again little tiny golden sparkles but with a creamy almost metallic texture to it. It looks amazing on the cheeks. You have to be a bit careful with this one because it is very pigmented but still not hard to work with.

So there! 

I hope I created in you the need to go right now to an H&M and buy one of these blushes!! 

LOL

At least take a look at them and swatch them. If you love bargains, this one is worth the hype.

Love, Bea

Small haul from Prague

Last week I was In Prague to get away for a few days and have some short but yet lovely and well deserved vacations with "mon petit copain"

I have to select between the 100s of pictures we took some to put up in a post, but for the moment here are pictures of the very few items I bought.

Enjoy!

John Frieda- full REPAIR- first impression review

I've always been a huge fan of John Frieda's range for brunettes. The hair feels soft, it shines and after a few uses you start getting different brown tones that look lovely under the sun light.

In Europe this brand isn't always easy to find, so I got really excited when I discovered that it is available in Switzerland. To my surprise, however, the products are not consumer friendly when it comes to prize.

I had heard a lot of rave about the products from the full REPAIR line, but due to the prize before jumping into buying them I bougth the travel size of the shampoo and the conditioner...
