*PR Samples.

Happy International Women’s Day to all my amazing women. Today is a day to celebrate women and everything feminine. So I decided to review some lovely makeup products I got the other day. RMK got in touch and offered to send me some makeup/beauty products to review and I was super excited to get my hands on them. I am a huge fan of Japanese products. There are definitely at the top in the beauty industry and RMK ticks all the boxes when it comes to quality makeup.

A bit about RMK

For those who have never heard of this brand before, RMK is a cosmetics line that holds firm roots within the New York make-up artistry scene and is carefully brought to life in dedicated laboratories in Japan. I was lucky enough to get RMK Basic Control Colour in Silver (01), and the Colour Crayon in Red (04) and Fig (06).

 

RMK Basic Control Colour in Silver

This Basic Control Colour by RMK enhances the skin’s natural beauty. It comes in 4 shades – Silver, Coral, Purple and Green. I got my hands on the Silver and it is meant to enhance the skin’s natural luminosity for a brighter complexion.

  4. You can use this product as a primer. It works great as a base for makeup. The makeup just glides on effortlessly and stays put.

None.

I can’t fault this product at all. It is a great makeup product and I will be using it a lot. You can grab it for £28 at Selfridges, Look Fantastic and Beauty Bay.

 

 

RMK Colour Crayon in Red and Fig

RMK Colour Crayon comes in 6 shades – Red, Pink , Fig, Rose, Coral and Beige. I got my hands on the Red and Fig shade. The Red shade is the classic look while the Fig shade is more of a dark red look.

 

The Red Shade

If you know me well enough, you would know how much I love a red hippie. The shade of red is so beautiful.

Product Review – Lancôme Hypnôse Homme Eau de Toilette

January 4, 2019 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , 32 Comments

As a fragrance lover, I am forever in search of the next scent to get obsessed with. I do like men’s perfumes as well, so I was eager to try Lancôme  Hypnôse Homme the other day. This masculine scent is a blend of Cardamom and Mint. It was created by Maurice Roucel in 2007 and the bottle caught my attention as soon as I set my eyes on it. It is quite captivating design for a perfume bottle.

This fragrance is based on a fresh lavender and amber harmony. The musky scent reminds me of masculine man. It is one of those scents you either love or hate. I love.

 

Lancome Hypnose Homme Review

 

Top notes: Mint, Cardamom
Middle notes: Essence of Lavender
Base notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Amber

 

Here are my thoughts on this fragrance –

 

PROS
  1. The bottle is a beauty. It caught my eye straightaway with the pure lines and ample body.
  2. I found the musky fragrance very clean and refreshing. The fragrance reminds me of a clean after shower scent.
  3. It is quite affordable at £30 for a 50ml bottle, and £60 for a 100ml bottle.
  4. It can work as a day or night fragrance.
  5. This perfume is not overpowering but it is quite long-lasting.
  6. You can grab a bottle for yourself or for a special person from most of the perfume retailers in stores and online.

CONS
  1. The scent is quite dated so if you are after the next new fragrance, you may not find this great.

 

Overall I do recommend this Lancôme Hypnôse Homme Eau de Toilette Spray. I think it is great value for money and I do like the fragrance.

Laser vs Waxing

December 29, 2018 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , 13 Comments

To wax or to laser? That is the question for many. Waxing has been around for a long time and is very popular. Many people have only heard of ear wax removal in London. However nowadays waxing treatments are now available for many areas of the body. It works by applying warm wax onto a hairy area and then smoothing down a wax strip on top. The wax sticks on to the hair, and when the strip is pulled away, the hair is also pulled along with it. It can be a bit uncomfortable (many find it painful) but it does the job of getting the hairs off from the root. While Laser Hair Removal treatment is the removal of body hair using the technology of laser. The treatment works by targeting the hair follicles with laser light. The heat damages the hair follicle and stops them from producing any more hair.

To Wax Or To Laser

I prefer and recommend having a Laser Hair Removal Treatment over waxing if you can afford to. The treatments can be quite pricey but you clearly I have tried both ways and I found the laser method to be the most effective way of getting rid of body hairs. My laser treatment was on my chin. I had annoying hairs on there, so I decided to get them off using laser. It worked great. I had 6 Laser Hair Removal Treatment sessions in total, and the treatments left my chin feeling and looking completely hair free. You can read all about my Laser Hair experience here, here and other related blog posts.

With waxing, I still have some areas waxed quite regularly, like my eyebrows. Using laser on them won’t be ideal, so waxing does the job for that and other bits.
