Daisy Marc Jacobs

I recently received this Marc Jacobs Eau de Toilette set as a gift some months ago, and I have used quite a bit of it already. This is not my first time using this Daisy perfume. I have used this and the eau de parfum version many times now, and I must confess, I am a huge fan.

This sunny, pure and free-spirited fragrance was launched in 2007, and it has been around ever since. Here is what Marc Jacobs has to say about this fragrance:

Radiant and enchanting, Daisy is a sparkling floral bouquet – spirited and fresh, wrapped in comfort and warmth. At the heart of Daisy is a floral with vintage edge: Violet. Sophisticated with a touch of whimsy, Violet captures the eclectic, vintage flavour of Marc Jacobs’ feminine, edgy designs. The bottle design features a luxurious block of weighted, clear glass-topped with a playful scattering of daisies that appear to bloom from the rounded gold cap.

Here are my thoughts on this fragrance:

PROS

  1. I love the bottle. It stands out on my dressing table, with the two foam daisies on the lid.
  2. I love the fresh, feminine fragrance. It smells amazing.
  3. It is long-lasting but not as long-lasting as the eau de parfum version.
  4. It is fab for the spring/summer months.
  5. It is a ‘safe’ floral fragrance. Many people love this fragrance.
  6. I got the gift set which came with a 50ml perfume, a shower gel and a body lotion, all for £54.00, which is usually the cost of the perfume alone.

CONS
  1. It is quite pricey for the perfume alone at £54, but then again, most good perfumes fall within that price range.

I recommend the Daisy Marc Jacobs Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum to any woman looking for the perfect spring/summer fragrance. Look no further.

NYX Setting Spray Image

Happy Easter peeps. I hope you are all enjoying the holidays. I have another product review post for you my dears. This time, it is all about NYX Dewy Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray and Elizabeth Arden Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer.

NYX Dewy Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray

After exhausting my MAC setting spray, I decided to try a different brand and NYX came to mind. I have recently fallen in love with NYX, I reviewed an NYX lipstick some weeks ago, and I can testify to how great the lipstick was, so naturally, I was eager to try out another product from the brand.

Here is what the NYX has to say about this setting spray –

Demand perfection! For that fresh dewy glow that lasts, the NYX Makeup Setting Spray – Dewy is lightweight and comfortable while working hard to make sure your makeup stays put.

Here are my thoughts on the NYX Dewy Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray:

PROS

  1. This setting spray is quite affordable at £7 for a 60ml bottle.
  2. You can easily grab one of these in your local Boots online or in store.
  3. I love the packaging. It is a lot more practical than the MAC bottle I used previously.
  4. My makeup looked refreshed after using this setting spray, and it stayed on all day.
  5. It is great for all skin types.

CONS

None.

I recommend this setting spray to all. It does the job beautifully.

 

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer

I ran out of my Instablur some weeks ago, and I felt like I needed a primer change. I have used The Body Shop Instablur primer for years now, and I decided to try out Elizabeth Arden Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer after reading about it in this month’s Cosmopolitan.

Here is what Elizabeth Arden has to say about this product:

Prime and perfect skin with a vital, multi-tasking step to make the most of your makeup. The smoothing triple blurring complex minimizes the look of pores, fine lines and wrinkles, blurring imperfections to give skin an instantly retouched look. Time-release skin-balancing technology helps control shine and maintain moisture for an impeccably flawless appearance. Formulated for all skin types and tones, Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer improves the longevity and performance of foundation to help keep makeup looking fresh and color-true all day.

 

PROS

  1. This primer left my skin makeup-ready. My entire makeup, starting with my foundation, went on my face nicely.
  2. My makeup stayed on all day, and I only needed to apply a fingertip amount of the primer.
  3. It is great for all skin types, and tones. It is colourless, and almost fragrance-free
  4. I had a matte flawless finish all day.
  5. It is easily accessible in stores and online at Elizabeth Arden, House of Fraser, Debenhams, Boots, and many other stores.

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Start Primer

 

CONS

  1. The price, it costs £28 for a 30ml tube, so it is on the high side, but it is worth every penny.

I recommend the Elizabeth Arden Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer to every woman. This is easily the best primer I have ever used in my life.

Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?

 

 

 

Product Review: Earth Kiss Face Masks

March 24, 2016 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 50 Comments

I have been on the lookout for a mild facial mask to use every week. I wanted a stress and pain-free product, mild enough to use every week, but effective at the same time. So I was pleased when Earth Kiss got in touch, requesting a review. It felt like they read my mind.

I was sent – Detox Mud Pore Cleanse Mud Mask, Clean Up Mud Mask Exfoliate, White Thai Clay Rejuvenate Mud Mask, Million Year Clay Facial Revitalise, Miracle Clay Facial Hydrate Bamboo Sheet Mask, and Moroccan Clay Pore Refine Mud Mask.

 

Here is what the brand says:

Our unique and 100% natural Earth Kiss face masks are energised with Shilajit and have kept the wonderful ingredients that we collected from around the world when they were called 7th Heaven. We have travelled far and wide to discover pure natural gems. From creamy soft White Thai muds from sunny Thai beaches to Million Year old Rhassoul clay from the Atlas Mountains or deep moisturizing Baobab oil from African upside down trees.

Earth Kiss face masks not only deep cleanse your skin and draw out impurities, like they used to do before as 7th Heaven, but also help to rejuvenate the very essence of your being, while increasing your energy levels and relieving stress and anxiety.

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. These face masks are very affordable at £1.99 per 17g sachet.
  2. Do not be deceived by the small sachet, it is more than enough for the entire face and neck.
  3. I love the colourful packaging. It will definitely catch my eye in the stores.
  4. These face masks can be bought on the My Earth Kiss site or in your local Holland & Barrett, so it is very accessible.
  5. The face masks came with clear instructions on how to apply – cleanse face with warm water, apply face masks, and leave on for 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse off or rinse off when mask feels dry.
  6. There is a face mask for every skin type – Normal, Oily or Combination.
  7. My skin felt soft and supple after application. It also looked a lot clearer.
  8. These face masks are pure natural products, and there are also cruelty free.

None.

I will definitely be using Earth Kiss Face Masks in future. My experience with these products have been great, and I recommend the face masks to any one needing an affordable regular face mask, and a bit of TLC.
