Fresh Beauty | FreshFace Instant Glow Luminizer

by

1Fresh Beauty is introducing the FreshFace Instant Glow Luminizer ($59 for 30 ml) this season which combines the benefits of skincare and makeup for a radiant and glowy look. FreshFace is a sheer illuminating cream which gives a natural looking glow to all skin tones. It is infused with Meadowfoam seed oil, Vitamin C and E, Cucumber extract and other natural ingredients to improve the appearance of skin. The texture is very light and gets into the skin smoothly, I felt it’s a perfect illuminator that can be used as a primer for foundation or apply it on top of your foundation/tinted moisturizer for a perfect glow. You can also use it to highlight to brighten the targeted areas.

Fresh Beauty’s FreshFace Instant Glow can also be worn alone to give skin the no-makeup’ makeup look illusion. It doesn’t carry any fine sparkles or shimmers yet it has a very subtle micro shimmers, like moonlight. I must say while you’re giving the skin the perfect glow it also keeps the skin soft and smooth. Even though it does claims that it can be worn on top of foundation, yet I feel wearing any thing cream like on top of foundation, will disturb the foundation but you can definitely use it as a highlighter on top of foundation (with a sponge or Beauty Blender) just on some part of face like cheek bones, bridge of the nose or chin.

dOver all the FreshFace Instant Glow Luminizer is a stunning highlighter liquid. My skin look nice and luminous all day long, plus it give my dry skin an extra hydration that I needed during the day with easy application with fingers or foundation brush. I would definitely recommend to layer the product for more glow if you’re using it as a highlighter.  This FreshFace Instant Glow Luminizer is available at Sephora and Sephora.ca.

Many thanks to the Fresh Beauty for sending me FreshFace Instant Glow Luminizer for editorial purposes.

 

Nars Velvet Lip Glide

by

7Nars have just launched new lip category this fall season with introducing the new Velvet Lip Glide (C$34 each). These new Velvet lipsticks are the new innovation of long-lasting lip colors that carries and semi-matte finish, which is between lipstick and lip gloss. These Velvet Lip Glides on smooth and provides an ultimate hydration. They come in 12 beautiful shades neutral to vivid bold shades and vampy colors.

The texture is highly pigmented like lipstick yet it glides on lips like a lip gloss. The lasting power is amazing it lasted on my lips about 4 to 5 hours without bleeding or cracking, I must say I am a firm believer that lip liner does extend the life of the lipstick. But over all I would say it lasts about 4-6 hours and it finishes like a lips gloss. The texture is very glossy at first but it does dries out to a velvet finish yet it comfortably lasts on the lips. The formula is also enriched with Waterlily and white tea extract for antioxidant production which keeps lips well hydrated. I feel these are going to hit the market this season. 68 I must say I absolutely love the packaging, its supper sleek and glamorous. The glass tube highlights the colors of the lipsticks and the flat application of the lipstick is supper soft and firmed which allows to contour lips evenly. It fits in any bags and clutches for easy on the go touchups. I feel it’s very hard to pick up favorite shades, all of the colors are beautiful and unique.

Bottom line you must experience this by your self to know what I mean, they are beautiful. I have been wearing them every day and on the events and people have been noticing the beautiful velvet texture and colors. They’re available October 1 at all NARS retailers (Sephora, Hudson’s Bay, Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom, and Murale) and online at www.narscosmetics.com

Many thanks to the Nars Cosmetics Team for sending the Press Samples for the reviewing purposes.

Fresh Beauty | Sugar Cream Lip Treatments

by

Fresh Beauty is introducing the new lip care capsule collection: Sugar Cream Lip Treatments (C$28 each for 10 ml) in three neutral shades – Blush, Buff and Pink. These are the newer version of the Fresh Beauty’s lip balm but creamier and with glossier texture. I always have been one of the Loyal costumers for Fresh Beauty since the brand carries the most effective and safe products to use. These Tinted Lip Balms are not like regular balms, it carries the benefits of skin care and the texture is much creamier and most of all it gives lips a beautiful natural color and the most amazing way to shine. The formula is enriched with vitamin E and C and a blend of oils that soften and smooth the lips with the application.

Love how the shades are versatile, and it finishes the look glamorously. These Sugar lip treatments main ingredients are – Sugar, Black Currant Seed Oil, Jojoba seed Oil and Avocado Oil where all these oils helps provide moisture and meanwhile it nourishes the skin for a softer and smoother lips. As many of you know packaging is one of my weakness, these do come in a squeeze-tube applicator where it makes it much easy to apply these at any time, any where and without any mirror. The tube packaging makes it easier to fit it in any makeup bag on the go.

These Lip Treatments carries light to coverage with translucent finish, you can get a little more color with two coats, but I would definitely suggest to wear theses tinted lip balms with a lip liner, it not only defines the lips but it creates a fuller lip illusion.

Bottom line I have been wearing it for a week now, every day and I have seen my lips become more smoother than before plus I have been loving the colors and the lasting power is pretty amazing on me. Sugar Cream Lip Treatments are available in store at Sephora as well as online at Sephora.ca.

I had purchased the Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bauhaus last year during fall season since there were many great reviews on it. The Everlasting Liquid Lipstick formula is on point for a liquid lipstick, and the texture is supper pigmented so a little can go for a while. I was very impressed with the lasting power, with no smudging or creasing and most of all it doesn’t dry out the lips as many of the matte finish liquid lipstick do. It glides onto lips easily with it’s creamy texture and it is infused with vitamin E and sunflower seed wax which makes the wear comfortable.

Over all it is a big hit for me, I have been loving the Everlasting Liquid Lipstick from last year for it’s texture, pigment and lasting power and this particular shade is a must during this fall season. You can find the Project Chimps Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in stores at Sephora as well as online at Sephora.ca and KatVonD.com.

 

Laneige | Water Bank 24-hour Ultimate Hydration

by

As many of you know by now that I had a big crush on Korean beauty products for a while now, and the Water Bank skin care is well-known in Korean skin care. This Water Bank line from Laneige is formulated with exclusive Biogen Tenology and Hydro Ionized Mineral Water which delivers skin maximum hydration where it tones and re-texturizes the skin. This Water Bank line includes: Serum, Eye Gel, Gel cream and Moisture cream.

  • Water Bank Serum (C$46 for 60 ml) – is one of the most rehydrating serum for smoother skin, the regular use of this serum gives skin more toned and creates a silky texture. It gives an 24-hour ultimate hydration to the skin, the texture is very light and smooth and is ideal for all skin types. For me one pump covered my whole face. I would highly recommend for those who seek hydration in their skin care, it literally gives skin a supple look.   
  • Water Bank Eye Gel (C$46 for 25 ml) – this Gel Eye cream is designed to gives under eye skin a fresh and more radiant look with the Biogen Technology. The texture is very light and gets into the skin immediately. I do experience a very dry skin under my eye area and most of the times just eye cream doesn’t help with the hydration for my skin, I usually use oil treatments over night for more hydrated skin but I have been using this Water Bank Eye gel over three weeks without the use of any night treatment oils and I must say my under eye skin looks well hydrated and my concealer doesn’t cake under the eye.
  • Water Bank Gel Cream (C$42 for 50 ml) – is a very light weight hydration cream which is ideal for normal to oily skin especially in warm weather. It carries a very gel like texture and get into the skin by touch leaving skin smooth and silky. It’s enriched with six ionized minerals in Hydro Ionized Mineral Water which locks in the moisture for 24 hours and the Winter Cyperss polysachharid extract soothes irritated skin.
  • Water Bank Moisture Cream (C$42 for 50 ml) – is a highly moisturizer cream ideal for normal to dry skin, I was very happy to use this especially during winter time where I need high concentrated cream to keep my skin well hydrated during those harsh winter weathers. This Moisture Cream retains moisture all day long and Patented Hydro Ionized Mineral Water restores and retains ideal hydration levels. The texture is much thicker than the Gel Cream, it’s very rich texture and sinks into the skin instantly.

Over all I was very pleased with the Water Bank line from Laneige. If you’re some one who wanted to start with a skin care and especially if you’re seeking for hydration, I would highly recommend to consider the Water Bank line from Laneige. Especially the Eye Gel gives under eye skin immediate hydration where it needs the most. You can find the Water Bank line in store at Sephora as well as online at Sephora.ca and Laneige.com.
