Review: Revlon Colorstay Photoready creme blush
Hello,
I purchased the Revlon Photo Ready creme blush in the shade 200 Flushed Rougissant. There are total 3 blushes in this range one is a flush pink, Coral and a natural nude shade with shimmer.

The has a lemony scent. I do not like scents, however this is not overpowering and definitely will not stay after application.

This pink looks very bright but blends smoothly and softly. It just gives the perfect soft, flushed look. When I started using the creme blush it came across as a mostly matte pink and not very shiny or overtly frosted however there is a bit of sheen to it. If someone likes a matte color this is not bad at all as the shimmer is highly subtle.
Sadly it just doesn't last very long so you need to keep it in your purse in case you need to touch up.
The packaging is quite sleek. The formula is in a thick transparent plastic jar and the top is black.

1.Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover :

According to TBS, float away the day with refreshing rosewater to gently cleanse and dissolve eye makeup. Also conditions lashes so they feel soft and silky.
This is one of the best eye makeup removers I have bought and repurchased. Just need to take 1-2 drops max on a piece of cotton and glide gently on your eye in one direction. No need to rub and move to and fro to get the product off. My lashes do not come off like before when removing mascara just dab the cotton onto the lashes and the remover will soak the product.
2. Skin primer Matte It:

TBS claims it includes soothing chamomile and aloe vera extracts. For all skin types.
First of all not much description on the website. Basically it's a gel like formula and a matte primer. You just need a small amount (a little more than a pea size) to apply all over face and neck. Instantly your skin will feel velvety and smooth. I prefer letting it set for 2-5 min and then applying foundation. The staying power is great the eye shadows won't crease or budge from place (the premier function of the primer is served). Definitely keeps shine away very good for people living in hot humid weather where the dilemma of melting makeup haunts us all.
3. Born Lippy Strawberry Lip Balm

This is a limited edition balm I got however other options are equally great. The moisture is amazing and as it does not have a shade so I find its best to layer on matte shades that can turn dry at times. It has a great fruity strawberry scent which just makes me layering on.
4. Shimmer Cubes Palette 06:

TBS description: Get big, eye-opening results rich mix-and-match palettes of blendable eye shadows that can be used wet or dry. For all skin tones.
Chocolate brown shades Iridescent finish Crease-resistant Dermatologically tested Ophthalmologically tested
This palette is in the warm tones including shades: honeycomb, dark chocolate, marshmallow, choco chip.
As I have a warmer skin tone the only color that does not do much for my skin is Choc chip. It's a taupe shimmer brown and for my lids its just to much shimmer and you really have to rub your finger/brush in the product to get some color, however all other shades are highly pigmented. The amount of product is a lot, I got mine a while back and they are nowhere hitting pan any time soon.
Quick Tip; damp you sponge tip or brush and then use the shades definitely adds more bling as well as pop to the shimmer cubes.
5. RoseFlower Blush 02

| Marshmallow-04 |

| RoseFlower-02 |
I got this bright pink blush (rose flower-02) a long time ago and its not really available in the same packaging though the same color is available in "All-in-one" blush 04 Marshmallow. It is the perfect pink for the radiant flush look and works for any skin tone from the lightest to the darkest. The staying power is great and the color is good all year round.
Best use with the bright lip trend as you don't want a lot of colors on face. It will just had a glow to your face!

D.I.Y Winter/Summer face prep
Hello everyone!
Are you fighting dry skin or is your face complexion looking down because of the scorching heat? Lately mine was and I came across this amazing natural face moisturizer (you can call this something between a face moisturizer and facial from the salon!)
So I ran to my kitchen cabinets and found the best ingredients olive oil and honey (pretty simple). Took 1 teaspoon of honey and a little less than a teaspoon of olive oil and mixed them together and gently massaged it on my face and neck (never forget the neck). In addition grab a small towel and soak it in warm water and place it on you face so the pores can open up to let the ingredients sink in. You can dab your the face with warm water before applying the mix to avoid the towel, either way is good!
I laid down for 15 minutes and by the time I was up my skin absorbed the mixture. I gently wiped my face with water only and voila my skin was soft and supple.
Among many benefits honey is known to have properties which helps to refresh and rejuvenate skin which is great for the hot summer months. Olive oil is an all rounder for the inside and outside. Consistent use of olive oil on the face can correct uneven skin tone as well.
Quick tip: best to do a night or even a few hours before an event. Skin will be so smooth which will make applying makeup very easy.
Take care and remember the simple things!
