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.

Wedge sneakers. Are still on trend?

I know, I know...everything is already been said about the famous Isabel Marant wedge sneakers and its hundreds of high street dupes.

I hope you are not thinking something like "oh no, not again" or "your late on that trend girl".

Some people hate them, some people love them. 

it doesn't seem to be a middle ground with them

In my case, I loved them from the beginning but I knew my sanity wasn't going to allow me to spend such amount of money in a pair of sneakers.

I've been in mission since then to find the perfect dupe for me.

They've been around in Spain for a while but for whatever reason in my short visits in the past year, I had not been able to find a pair that would please me in terms of design and price. 

Well...surprise, surprise!! Wedge sneakers seem to be in trend in Geneva since the beginning of 2013. Slowly I've been seeing them make their appearance in shops and in walking feet of what you would consider "fashionista" girls. 

Of course, after so much waitting I couldn't let it go. After going all over the city looking for my perfect match, I found this lovely pair at a shop called Le Halle aux Chaussures (the one in Meyrin, for those who live in the area) at around 50CHF.

I'll be honest. I thought they were expensive.

But I love them! I am super comfortable with them, I pair them with anything and I have actually gotten some compliments while wearing them. And no one seems to notice the wedge, which is great for a small girl like me!

Never been happier of Switzerland going behind in terms of trends!

I know this question is over done...but Are (were) you a lover or a hater?

Do you still wear them?

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

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?
