Tinted Lips!!!

Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Tint

Many girls have been raving about them … so I got Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Tint for myself too and I have to say - I absolutely love it! The product comes in 10 rather vibrant shades; I tried two of them - pink petal and royal plum.

You can see your lips are fabulously colored and defined but it doesn’t feel nor look like you have anything on! It feels so natural without any sticky thickness. And it doesn’t smudge. Lasting power is not so great but hey, you can always re-apply!

However, as with most lip marker stains, they do dry your lips a little so night time lip exfoliating and moisturizing is essential to keep the product looking good. I would rather go through this process and continue wearing this amazing lip stain though!

So yes ladies, I am sold on the lip tint!

Cello shots, anyone??

I spotted this novelty recently when passing by the Estee Lauder stand in a drug store. It’s called Pure Color Cheek Rush and it comes in 4 shades (hot fuse (beautiful red), techno jam, pink patent and x-pose rose) which can be used both as a blush and a lip stain.

Not a surprise, the product is also nicely packaged in a pump bottle with a silk-screened golden collar. 

Since it is quite pricy, I asked for a sample first (pink patent was my choice). It does have lightweight, lovey gel-like texture with the colour just gliding on your skin and provides this subtle glow to give a healthy looking complexion. But to get required intensity, I really had to apply a lot of product. I didn’t fancy that, I like to see the results immediately, and I didn’t when using this blush. So for now I think I will stick to my usual powder blush … 

Cello shots not for me, sorry … :-(

Art as Fashion??

I've been thinking about this for a while and there's actually quite a bit out there that can be classed as art but is absolutely beautiful fashion.
Shoes, jewellery (especially jewellery) have really gifted designers that typically make limited edition pieces or otherwise a collection.

The problem being .... they are really EXPENSIVE!

Yep, sometimes also impractical, but beautiful ;-)
