I’ve been on the hunt for an excellent peachy toned eyeshadow palette for awhile now. When Nars announced the Wanted palette I was instantly hooked. Luckily there was a VIB sale at Sephora right when it dropped so I got it with $20 off! SO HAPPY. Now let’s see if it lives up to all my hopes and dreams. Without further ado, I present my NARS Wanted Palette review.
I’ve been on a mission to revamp my skin care routine ever since my skin got more sensitive this past year. I picked up rosehip seed oil after seeing Zendaya recommend it. That girl’s skin GLOWS, ok? and it turns out it’s perfect for my dry and sensitive skin. These are the benefits of rosehip seed oil.
Here is my review of the Body Shops Lip and Cheek Stain! Necessary, because I haven’t had great experiences with lip and cheek stains in the past (I’ve ruined a few too many white shirts)… So when Emma Watson called out The Body Shop’s Red Pomegranate Lip & Cheek Stain*(affiliate link) as one of her favs in her interview with Into the Gloss, I knew I had to try it. During her press tour for Beauty and the Beast Emma Watson documented her favourite eco-friendly, cruelty free, and traceable beauty and fashion products through the instagram page @the_press_tour. Then, Emma Watson’s interview with Into the Gloss (Glossier’s blog) also highlighted all of her favourite beauty products.
I’ve been slowly going through the interview and trying out each product myself. Some are harder to find than this one – I had to hunt around on Amazon to get my hands on a tube of DHC’s Mascara. In the end I hope to have in depth reviews of these great products so that those of you looking to shop cruelty free and eco friendly in beauty know what you’re buying! Here goes The Body Shop’s Lip & Cheek Stain.
Recently I’ve been seriously loving a good red lip. I was inspired by Emma Watson (surprise surprise) as she said that whenever she’s got a big event she wears a red lip. I’ve always been torn about this because on one hand, a red lip makes me feel bad ass and bold. I feel like you can’t go wrong with it. Except… red lips are so hard to do right! As soon as your colour starts fading in the middle, and it starts to look like you’ve got a weird lip liner thing going on. Or it smudges off your lips, feels impossible to fix and you go from feeling 100% to 0%. The struggle. These are the best red lip products, the ones I always use time and time again.
This review is the last in a set of MAC’s favourite face products reviews where I looked at MAC’s Face + Body Foundation, and MAC’s Select Cover Up. Face products’ performance always comes down to what primer you’re using, which makes it one of the most important products in your makeup bag! People love MAC’s Prep, Prime + Fix Primer because it can prep your face and make makeup last longer, and it can be sprayed onto individual brushes to make face + eyeshadow colours appear more pigmented. Multi-faceted products like this are my favvvv because you get 2 for 1 cost, and they’re great for when you’re travelling! YES. Here is my MAC Prep Prime + Fix Review.
Aloha pals! I closely followed Emma Waton’s Beauty and the Beast press tour through her Instagram (@the_press_tour) account. Her goal on the tour was to use as many sustainable, eco-friendly and cruelty free products as possible. She then shared them on her Instagram, and in interviews! It’s perfect because as much as I’d love to buy products like those, I have such a hard time finding affordable options! During her press tour Emma did an interview with IntoTheGloss where she went over her beauty routine and her favourite beauty products. I’ve decided to try a handful of them out and give you an in depth review of the product, it’s ethical benefits, and it’s affordability. On that note, here is my DHC Mascara Review.
