When you want cake but are watching your waistline, get instead the Pixi PixiGlow Cake

If these PixiGlow Cake Blush Highlighter pans were cakes, they would be the largest cakes you’ve ever seen. These are to regular blushes, what a 3-tier, 3-foot tall frosted confection is to a mini cupcake.

I unfortunately did not show them in all their full glory, for which I must apologise.

But these PixiGlow Cake pans are so large, they are bigger than my hand, and will practically, last you forever and a day. Your grandchildren would likely be cooing over these as well 😀

These are excellent value, and quite pretty on skin to boot! So really, there is no excuse not to get them. Is there?

Let me tell you if the Guerlain L’Essential Natural Glow Foundation and L’Essential Retractable Foundation brush are worth it

Paris B 12 Comments

Last week, I showed you a tint that got everyone very excited. This week, let’s talk about the more conventional liquid foundation recently launched by Guerlain – the Guerlain L’Essential Natural Glow Foundation 16H wear SPF20.

I remember that many people were quite interested in the Guerlain L’Essential Foundation, when I shared it on Instagram. But perhaps that euphoria has died down, now that there are shinier, newer things out there LOL! 😀

But I’ve finally put the foundation through its paces, and have formed an opinion about it. I also got the Guerlain L’Essential Retractable Foundation Brush, which was launched alongside the foundation, so I’ll be able to share some thoughts on that too!

The bggest question of course is this – are they worth the big bucks?

I’m going to ask you to trust me on this one – Go and get yourself a Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip. Just trust me, you’ll love it!

I do. I love mine to itty bitty bits. It’s not even a crush. It’s a full-blown love affair!

I think, if I hadn’t already fallen in love with the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour, I might have overlooked this new release a few months ago. But in love with the Crushed Lip Colour I am, so when the liquid version was launched, I hot-footed it down to the nearest counter to have a look.

I also promptly went home with 2 shades (because they are quite affordable) and have been enjoying them ever since. I was on the verge of blogging about it, when as fate would have it, all the shades landed on my desk! You should have seen the grin that split my face from ear to ear 😀

It also meant I had to get down to work! 😛

The Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint rewards you for taking care of your skin, and I freaking love it to bits!

I love it when something I pass over, or don’t give much attention to, takes over my life and leaves me so in love with it, that I want to tell everyone just how wonderful it is. Such is how I feel about the brand new Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint.

The first time I saw it in pictures, I thought it was a liquid bronzer, due to the depth of colour of the product. It wasn’t until I was told “It’s not a bronzer, it’s a foundation!” that I took a second look.

Hello, gorgeous!

I can predict that opinions will be wildly divided on this product. Many will deem it far too sheer and therefore too expensive. Many might struggle to see the point of the product.

I however, love it to bits! And I will tell you why. And before you ask, no, I do not have perfect skin either, as you will see 🙂
