Maybelline Baby Lips Review

bynki.blogspot.com

Maybelline Baby Lips Tinted Balms, OMG! (i've had this post in my draft for ages but totally forgot to post it). This is one drugstore brand that always delivers seriously. I cant sing enough praises for these balms, they are so moisturising and very natural looking at the same time. They come in this nice simple packaging where you can actually see the true colour of the balm and they are inexpensive at £2.99 a tube, i got two colours in Pink Punch and Peach Kiss.

Pink Punch is a light flush pink and the colour pay off is very rich as you can see from the pic above, it gives the perfect hint of colour and isn't drying at all. Peach Kiss is my favourite, very natural, smooth and the moisture is perfect for my lips. I pop these at night before bed and in mornings to heal my lips and help prevent cracking and flakes, these balms come in very handy for me especially when i don't feel like wearing lipstick or lipgloss, i just apply them and am good to go with plump lips, i highly recommend them for that subtle sheen tints they give the lips with a touch of glossiness to warm it up whilst hydrating the lips. They even have SPF in them, last very long on the lips and come in different colours so one is spoilt for choice. It's a tube that can go in your bag, purse, even your wallet can hold it because it's that small and light and they smell normal like any balm, you really cant go wrong having one or two. Thanks for reading and have a great week ahead, Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Singer Pink is the new face for COVERGIRL new collection 'Flamed out'. This collection is so hot i have asked my friend in the states to buy me some of the products, from the campaign ad you can see Pink rocking the very vibrant, bright and bold colours. I love covergirl makeup range, they are blendable and very affordable, the only problem is that it's quite difficult to get here in the UK otherwise they are very good.

Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre Review

bynki.blogspot.com

Hi guys, Happy New Month to you all. The product am reviewing today is a skin moisturiser called Embryolisse, it's taken me awhile to review this cream because i didn't care much for it when i first got it, but after randomly finding it in my makeup drawer, i gave it a shot and boy, it works wonders!. It's a creamy moisturiser that feels very nice on the skin and also makes it glow in a natural way. It's been around for ages too and contains ingredients like mineral oil, aloe vera, shea butter, beeswax and soya. It's a dermatologist laboratory creme formulated in paris.

bynki.blogspot.com

This lait- creme concentre lotion really hydrates the skin and soften it in the process too, i mean it seriously moisturised my skin when i apply it in the morning on a clean fresh face. Once on the face, you can feel the firmness it gives to skin and instantly skin is renewed, this creme honestly has rich nutrients that skin needs for a natural healthy glow. It worked well on my oily/combination skin without any breakouts and because it's so creamy, the face absorbs it quickly, the texture is not too heavy and not too light, it's just perfect . I have been using it so much now that it has replaced my primer, yes it totally does the job of a primer and even more, It's a perfect base for makeup and foundation stays put all day, no shifting whatsoever. It is suitable to all skin types and can be used on the entire body, it heals and clears any skin irritation / dry patches too. Another thing i really like about this product is the simple packaging, a white small tube with detailed instructions printed on the back, it also smell normal, no scent or perfume. It comes in different volumes 30ml and 75ml so you can choose, i really like it and wish i had been using it all this while instead of just dumping it in my drawer, But now that i've found it again, it's my favourite moisturiser and i highly recommend it to anyone out there looking for a good skin moisturiser or even a primer as it does both jobs. With so many great things already said about this product, i have one slight concern, the price!, I don't like the fact that it's expensive, it's not cheap and that's dissappointing to me, but i believe it's worth getting because it actually works! Treat your skin to this creme and see how natural and healthy your skin would become, it's one of my beauty cult favourites now. Thanks for reading and Toodles! xoxo  bynki

Mac Prep+Prime CC Colour Correcting Loose Powder In Adjust Review


bynki.blogspot.com

Hello my lovely readers, today am reviewing the Mac Prep+Prime Colour Correcting Loose Powder in Adjust, last week i talked about the CC cream in Neutralize and it was such an awful product but this one is so different. Before i start, can i just say how impressed i am with this loose powder, it's that good, it beats the transculent powder hands down, no joke! I quite like the packaging too, a small round jar, that has a powder sifter inside. It made a little mess when i first opened it because i shaked the jar a little too much so i advice you tightly secure the lid and screw the top properly to avoid waste when you use it.

bynki.blogspot.com

Mac described it as a tinted powder to help correct and blur imperfections on the face, this product does exactly just that, it's smooth and silky and feel very skin like on the face, this particular shade brightens the face and you can use it as a setting powder. When i used it on my oily skin, my face felt relaxed and my makeup lasted the entire day without a shift neither did it alter my foundation, and it practically absorbed all the oil on my face, it covered redness on my cheek which the neutralize is suppose to do and all fine lines gone! The powder is so light and you only need a little to set the face, the texture feels like velvet and the tinted colour wasn't noticeable at all once applied. This powder is everything i could ask for and more, it's quite similar to the ben nye banana powder but it beats it hands down and the colours are different too (this one is a peachy beige colour)

bynki.blogspot.com

This powder will work fine for any skin tone and because it comes in Three other shades, you can always find the one to suit your colour. I will be buying another one, the Neutralize shade in Loose asap for under my eyes. Other shades in the range are Neutralize, Lavender, Recharge and they all come in different texture, Cream, Loose and Pressed, so far the Loose is the best and it's what i recommend especially for oily skin, although it's quite messy during application which is why people stay away from loose powders and thats where the pressed compact comes in handy to fit into your purse for touch ups. The only tiny con i have about this powder is the price, it's so small (8g) and cost £20 and that put me off initially but after i used it, i realise it's far superior and well worth the price!. Wishing you all a fabulous weekend and Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Mac Prep+Prime CC Colour Correcting Review / Little Haul

bynki.blogspot.com

Hi guys, happy new month to you all. I received some of these products from Mac from their two new collection - A Fantasy of Flower and CC prep+prime, i only received the mineralized skinfinish in Stereo Rose from the FOF collection and am sorry i don't have it in this picture, (completely forgot to snap it along), it's such a lovely powder and i will be doing a review just for it soon. From the CCP+P collection, i got the cream and powder in adjust and neutralize, i will be reviewing only the colour correct cream in neutralize today because i am yet to test the powder in adjust. Normally i would test out both, but because my face is still healing from all the acnes and blemishes i got recently, i only test out products one at a time.

bynki.blogspot.com

I bought 2 Heroine Lipstick as it was back in stock after a long time and guess what? it's permanent! Heroine is a deep bright purple/violet colour matte lipstick and it's a fan favourite and was quite difficult to get then because it was limited edition but Mac has finally answered our request (beauty junkies like me) and made it permanent, grab yourself this gorgeous shade this spring/summer and feel fabulous. I also got Magenta Lip liner, a bright deep purple colour, this is another stunning shade to line the lips to help prevent bleeding. Next thing i got was the Luxury powder puff, i like to use both brush and puff for my powder application, It comes in a pack of two with a pretty satin detail attached at the top, this is so you can fit your fingers into it, making it easier to hold the puff. It's thick and double padded and feels very soft on the face, i really like it.
 
bynki.blogspot.com

Now onto the review proper, i was really excited to try this new Prep + Prime CC Colour Correcting SPF 30 cream mostly because of the yellow base colour, it's a tinted corrector supposed to be used under your foundation or on it's own, for very light coverage to help reduce redness and also neutralize the face or any particular area, in general it's a multi tasking formula, very creamy and pigmented. It applied very smooth on the face but am sorry to say this is a NO for me, i just think it has too much yellow in it, besides i didn't notice any much difference on my face when i applied it, however it slightly covered the redness on my cheeks (not fully), i feel like this would be great for dry skin and for those who want a prep primer to provide hydration for the face. I owe the Fortified Skin Enchancer Illuminateur de teint SPF 35 and this is pretty much the same, so if you have that, i advice you skip this and go for the other textures in loose and compact form. It comes in three other shades
Adjust - peachy beige
Illuminate - lavender
Recharge - apricot
It's available instore for £23, i have already started testing out the loose powder and will do a review by the end of the week alongside the FOF stereo rose skinfinish. I wish you all a blessed week, Toodles. xoxo  bynki

New Spring Release Collection 2014

bynki.blogspot.com

This year Chanel has added eight new eyeshadow to their Les Ombre Collection. Each eyeshadows comes in a palette that contains four unique eye colours which represents a coloured tweed thread (Chanel signature fabric). I have two Chanel eyeshadows and i can swear they are amazing and offer everything you would want from an eyeshadow, they would be available here in the UK from March, cant wait!

bynki.blogspot.com

Next to release their spring collection is Smashbox and this collection is called Santigold Collection, i don't own any smashbox product (very strange) but am really looking forward to receiving some of their product (especially this collection) from a close friend of mine for Review. The name santigold comes from an American artist, songwriter and producer Santi White, she designed this collection and said it will be a limited edition so if you are a smashbox fan, i suggest you snap these up once they get released in April this year. Have a happy mid-week guys and Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Mac Rihanna Viva Glam Lipstick & Lipglass Review

bynki.blogspot.com

Hello guys, hope you all had a well rested weekend. Today am reviewing the Mac Rihanna Viva Glam Lipstick and Lipglass, its a frost lipstick and very different from what we've seen rihanna put out for Mac in her previous campaign. The packaging is so pretty with a deep red and black colour design and as usual rihanna added her personal touch with her signature stamped on the bullet. Mac describes the lipstick as a frosty blue red but i don't think it's that frosty, only a little shimmer to make the lips look more plump and standout. When applied on the lips, you get a semi opaque finish with slight shimmer.

bynki.blogspot.com

I am wearing only the Lipstick in this photo above and yes you can wear it alone, it's packed full with glitter and Mac describes it as a cool berry pink with tons of pink shimmer to it. I really like it as its very creamy and doesn't feel sticky or grainy, i lasted well on me for about 2-3 hrs and it didn't move at all.

bynki.blogspot.com

Next is the Lipstick which i am so excited about, i thought it would be the same colour as RiRi Woo but how wrong was i, both colour and texture are very different and it's such a pretty red shade colour with metallic red flecks in it. Above photo on top right is the lipstick alone and photo under is both lipstick and lipglass together (So HOT). This combo is so gorgeous and well worth it, it has the right amount of frost in it and is totally wearable. It lasted quite a while on me, about 5hrs and when it eventually faded, it left tons of red pretty sparkle on my lips. Mac and Rihanna sure did good on this one and 100% of the proceed goes to support people living with HIV/AIDS, so your money does actually support a great cause. It's available for one year and i will be buying one more just to keep on the side because i really really like it. Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead, Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Glossybox February 2014 Review

bynki.blogspot.com

I recieved my Glossybox yesterday and believe you me, they sure made some improvement after loads of disappointing boxes and i must say the design of the box definitely has the loook of love (Valentine) as well as the title 'Be Mine'. This month's content includes pretty, girly, useable, useful goodies and i am most certain that i will be using every single one of them, Let's see what we've got

`bynki.blogspot.com

Ciate London Paint Pot- I love ciate nail polish, they are chic, very feminine and stunningly sophisticated. I am really looking forward to trying it on, most especially as red is my favourite colour, Glossy box did good with this one. It's full size and cost £9.

Toni & Guy Hair Meet Wardrobe, Stick It Up Gum- I never really buy toni and guy hair products and the only serum i have from them was from my glossy box last year. I did enjoy using it and still use it to nourish my weave and i will be trying this out as it says it gives a high shine finish and extra volume so we'll see! although am not keen on the 'stick it up gum' title, hopefully it's not gel like texture. Full size £7.20 90ml

bynki.blogspot.com
Nougat London Sparklinh Body Shimmer- This is a shimmer body lotion to add radiance and glow to the skin. It contains mallow extract, vitamin E and wheatgerm enriched oil to pamper the skin, it smells luxuriously divine and i will be using this for evening outings to give my skin that hint of sparkle. This is a full size and worth £14 for 250ml, very impressive!

Miner Comestics Cocktail Kiss- According the research, this one is favoured by celebs, inspired by the world's best cocktail and has a unique favour to create that perfect pout. This for sure will be handy in my bag so i can top up during the day for extra glossy lip. One size £2.99 for 12ml

bynki.blogspot.com
Maybelline New York Master Kajal Liner- I am most excited about the liner because i was about getting myself another eye liner and i wanted something really black (blackest black) trust me, this came at the right time. It's my kind of black and glides on smooth, one easy stoke and you have yourself a seductive matte winged eye, i love Maybelline brand especially their eye products and am really excited to try on his master kajal cream stick liner. One size £5.99 for 13g.

Lindt Lindor Treat Bar- Last but certainly not least is this chocolate bar, an extra treat to celebrate valentine and i will be indulging myself with this, it is indeed a perfect little treat any time, any here! thanks glossybox. One size £0.79 (one bar) and £16.59 for 24 bars.

So there you have it, this month's box which i absolutely adore and wish every box will be/continue like this with even more with products like foundation and blushes. The whole content is worth about £32.80 and it's a good thing to know that glossybox actually acknowledged their customers and listen to their views hence this month's box with everything full size, hope they keep improving as that's what we want and pay for! Have a great day and  LoL, xoxo  bynki
