Are you in love with coral shades? Have you seen Bobbi’s Cabana Coral Collection for Spring 2010 and you want to adopt the same makeup this Spring?

Keep reading if you want to find out Bobbi’s Coral Beauty Tips and how you can use them to have a sunny and fresh look everyday.

Coral lips and cheeks are an easy way to add a pop of color to your makeup. I developed a modern, wearable formula that looks sunny and fresh, never chalky.

Are you one of those girls who is cautious about corals? Well, I am! But Bobbi promises that will take only 5 minutes to make them cool.

Problem

I love the color – but worry that it’ll look to bright or chalky.

Solution

Bobbi’s modern formulas and juice colors take a classic shade for a modern spin.

Coral can be one of the most uplifting color a woman can wear and can make the skin look younger and fresher. The easiest place to wear coral are on the cheeks and lips. Pale peachy corals look great on lighter skin tones and suits women with silver, grey and light blonde hair.

For women with more olive and deeper complexions a bronzy coral will look sexy and still appear fresh. Continue reading ‘Coral Spring Makeup inspired by Cabana Coral Collection by Bobbi Brown’

Hi everyone,

today’s Smokey Eye Chic Makeup is inspired by Illamasqua’s Android Pure Pigment. As I promised in the review of the Android Pure Pigment here is one of my favorite’s eye makeup looks.

I’ve done this look last week together with another one in pink eyeshadows that I hope to post it soon. I’ve been so lazy lately most of it because of the weather outside and these cold temperatures but I really hope to finish with this phase and post the other smokey eye makeup look (I’ve already took photos) in the next few days.

This is what I came up with and I hope you guys will like it. Let me know what you think about it (I’m not so talented I know that) in the comments bellow. Continue reading ‘Brown and Shimmer Smokey Eye Makeup inspired by Illamasqua Android Pure Pigment’

Max Factor Second Skin Foundation – Review + Photos

Published on February 2, 2010 in Beauty. 14 Comments Tags: chic review, foundation, Max Factor, oily skin.

Max Factor introduced a while ago its latest foundation breakthrough, the New Second Skin Foundation.

I received this product only a few days after I just bought a new foundation from MUFE, so I wasn’t to excited to try it out. I usually don’t use foundation but when I do I ask a lot from it. I want to cover all my breakouts, I don’t want to feel it heavy of my skin like I was wearing a mask and I definitely want to have a matte complexion for as long as possible.

I got the 40 Creamy Ivory shade which is the lightest from the 5 shades available:

40 Creamy Ivory
45 Warm Almond
70 Natural
75 Golden
80 Bronze

The Package

The product comes in a transparent 30 ml bottle with a black pump (a plus for hygiene) which allows me to take just the right amount of product. It’s very practical and has 12 months availability. You can order the foundation online from Max Factor if you are sure of your shade, for the price of £13.99. Continue reading ‘Max Factor Second Skin Foundation – Review + Photos’
