Maybelline Limited Edition Lemonade Craze Palette Review

I did NOT expect to be this obsessed with an eyeshadow palette, I tend to have my favourites and stick to them. Also, the other surprise was how gorgeous the shimmer shades are. I literally made a “woah” sound when I swatched “Sugar Coated”. Which is a stunning copper tone. All of the shimmer shades are truly exquisite and very…

Products I’m Loving At The Moment

SEROZINC (R150) has been recommended by dermatologists in France for decades. Since that time, users suffering from oily or acne-prone skin have experienced the life-changing effects of SEROZINC from La Roche-Posay.

Clarins Water Lip Stain Review

Clarins Water Lip Stain (R300) is completely transfer-proof. Even my best Micellar water wasn’t a match for these arm swatches and on one’s lips, it’s the same. A beautiful matte tint available in four shades or “Intensities”. 1- Rose Water, 2- Orange Water, 3- Red Water and 4- Violet Water. I received two of the shades Orange and Red. You…
