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

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!

29 Comments

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 🙂

Truth to tell I have little confidence in the It Cosmetics Confidence in A Cream and Confidence in A Cleanser

17 Comments

Sometimes, you love a product so much you want to tell the world about it. Sometimes, you hate it so much, you want to tell the world about it.

But sometimes, you come across a product that you just feel so ambivalent about, that you don’t know if you want to tell the world about it.

Ladies and Gents, meet the It Cosmetics Confidence in A Cream and the Confidence in a Cleanser. I haven’t felt so ambivalent about a product in a long time 😛

I figured however, that I would tell you about this, despite my ambivalence, because a few people had recently asked me about it, and whether I felt it was worth using or buying.

My answer was, in a nutshell, “It’s OK OK only” with a horizontal waggle of the hand LOL 😀
