Product Review: Iman Second To None Cream To Powder Foundation

July 12, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 14 Comments

I had been using my Marykay powder and foundation for many years and I wanted a change so I decided to pop into a Debenhams store to try the Iman Second To None Cream To Powder Foundation in Clay 3 shade. My mum has been using Iman for many years and she had only good things to say about the product so I decided to give it a try.

IMAN

 Here is what Iman has to say about the  product:

Gives the flawless look you want, with a truly natural appearance. Glides on like sheer silk to give the coverage of cream combined with a velvety powder finish.  Full coverage foundation imparts a velvety powder finish.

– Apply foundation and blend downward in the direction of your hair growth for a more even texture

– Velvety, creamy consistency blends easily

– Contains powder for a velvety finish

– Reduces the appearance of large pores

– Helps to hide discoloration

– For all skin types

– Available in Clay 1, Clay 2, Clay 5 (medium skin tones)

Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3, Earth 4, Earth 5 (dark to deep skin tones)

IMAN SECOND TO NONE

Here are my thoughts on the product:

PROS

  • The Second to None Cream to Powder Foundation in Clay 3 is the right shade for me. It matched my skin tone perfectly.
  • This product blends in well.
  • There is a shade for every skin tone.
  • It is easy to apply with the sponge that comes with it.
  • Goes on smoothly and gives great full coverage.

CONS

  • This product is quite hard to find. It is currently stocked in Debenhams in the UK and that seems to be the only beauty store to buy it but you may be able to buy it on Amazon.co.uk
  • It makes my face oily so I still have to apply a bit of powder after applying it.
  • It is quite pricey at £24.50

Overall, I like this product, it suits my skin tone and I will be using it again. I recommend Iman Second To None Cream to Powder.

Have you tried this product?

Make-up Is The Best Accessory

January 8, 2015 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Your face is your greatest asset. It is the first piece of you people notice. Most of the time, we forget our face and focus on spending on clothes and shoes, forgetting make-up is our best accessory. It is necessary to invest in our hair and skin. After all, looking good is good for business.

Like Karl Lagerfeld said

To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don’t skip on make-up, and be sure to have a flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes

Here are some beauty/make-up products to consider:

Lipstick

Never leave your home without a bit of lipstick. Matte lipsticks are great for the winter months. MAC’s Ruby Woo is an example of a bold matte look you can go for:

Bobbi Brown Blackberry lipstick is also a semi-matte, creamy lipstick that may look lovely on you:

Lip-Color

Powder/Foundation

With the right powder/foundation, you can face anything. Iman second to none gives you the coverage you need along with the perfect powder finish. You get two for the price of one:

Eye Shadow

You wear your face everyday, spice your look up with your eye shadow. I love the fashion fair multilevel eye shadow compact palette. The shades are fabulous and long-lasting:

Mascara

Mascaras can do things with your eyes, you never thought were possible. Finding the right one, takes a lot of trial and error. They’re Real Mascara by Benefit seems to be the one for many. It is currently the UK’s bestselling mascara:

Hypnose Star mascara by Lancome is also a good buy. It is great for creating the impact of false eyelashes:

Eyeliner

Eyeliners define your eyes like no other, that is when they are applied correctly. Rimmel Exaggerate eye liner does the job:

Lipgloss

The right lipgloss is just the right highlight you need for your lips. NARS Cosmetics Turkish Delight lipgloss is a perfect choice:

The Chanel Wild Rose lipgloss is a fantastic shade too:

These are just samples you could look out for when next you are in a beauty store. Remember the famous Helena Rubinstein’s words

There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.
