Laura Mercier Holiday Mini Lip Glace

Every year Brands creates limited edition collections for the holidays and this year is no exception, So many to choose from, am going crazy! This is a lip gloss set from Laura Mercier that i've had my eyes on for a while now, they are lip glosses tube that you can keep for yourself or share out individually as gift to friends at Christmas. They come in mini tubes with convenient applicator.

There are five portable glosses and each has a unique touch as the colours are gorgeous and very pretty packed with pigment. When i applied them to my lips, they went on smooth and the shine was just the perfect amount. The perfomance was great as well as they lasted between 4-5 hours on me, they smell so lovely and my lips were plumped all through the day, they were non sticky and did not dry out too.

They contain healthy ingredients that boost antioxidant and i am really happy with them as i love every single one of them, the colour shade for this set include Rose, Violet, After hours, Bare beige and Sparkling (shimmering peach, pale pink and dusty mauve for a subtle, more demure look). They are limited edition christmas gift and come in two sets, the Soft Nude colour set and the Rich Berry colour set

If you like lip gloss, you will be pleased with this laura mercier set and i also suggest you hunt them fast enough as these things always sell out because they are such a good deal and the quality is great value at £31. I hope this post will help some of you with your Christmas shopping list, Toodles.  xoxo bynki

Mac Holiday Collection Gift Set 2013

The Holiday season is here and almost every makeup brands are coming out with their Christmas holiday gift set which i am so excited about. I got my hands on quite a few and this is one of them, Mac Mineralize Brush Set from their stroke of midnight collection.

It contains four Mac fiber brushes for the face/eye and a carry purse to store the brushes when travelling, this set is one of the several new brush set they realeased amongst other set. The colour combination is very pretty and very me as i like black and white cordinated colours, the brushes have both colours featured on them with a gold circle accent between the black and white handle, the brush bag has pretty much the same colour theme and it's nice enough to carry as a night out bag if you want to. Now unto the brushes, there are four mini duo fiber brushes in the set

187 duo fiber face brush
159 duo fiber blush brush
286 duo fiber tapered blending brush  for eye
287 duo fiber eyeshadow brush

The duo fiber brushes from Mac are one of the most popular from their range and they are very good because they pick up very little products and they also blend effortlessly

They are very light weight too and feel super soft which is a good thing, i don't own many Mac brushes simply because of the price, i feel like they are too expensive although i know they are the best and can last you well over 12 years if you care for them properly so you can imagine my excitement when i saw this set from their holiday gift, i knew i had to get one especially because the price was so affordable.

They look and feel sturdy enough just like the full sized ones and feel firm to the hands, the only thing am not too sure about is the size. Yes i know there are mini brushes but i wasn't expecting it this small maybe because this is my first time buying their gift set brushes, although they feel firm like i said, they are just too small for my hand and for me to work with but i guess for the price, it's quite a massive bargain so no complain.

So far, they haven't shed one bit  and i do think it is a fanstatic set especially for those that like duo fiber brushes. It's a must have for makeup artist for themselves or a makeup lover or even as a gift to friends/family as you get four brushes for a mere £42 compared to their permanent collection which starts from £27 per brush. Overall i am very happy and do recommend it to those (like me) trying to get their hands on Mac brushes without paying the expensive price. I love Mac brushes and hopefully with time, i will build up my entire work kit with their brushes. This set and other set from their Christmas collection is available now at Mac counters and online, if you want one, buy them now before they sell out and Yes they will sell out because they are limited editions. Have a great week everyone and Thanks for stopping by.  xoxo bynki

Skincare Clarins Mini Reviews

Hi guys, today am reviewing skincare and Clarins is one of my favourite skincare product out there, the strenght of this brand is broad and amazing with very effective results. They cover every aspects of skincare and makeup, the only problem i have about them are their prices, they are in my opinion over priced because not all the products are beneficial. I tryed out all the products above well over two week and i am confident in giving this honest review about them, so let's go

Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel - This is a very gentle cleanser in gel texture, it helps remove impurities from skin and left my skin feeling soft and fresh, i also used it to remove my makeup at night, a little goes a long way, as soon as i apply it and rub, it turns to foam allowing me to wash my face without normal soap. It smells great too, very fresh.

Multi Active Night - This was a bit hard for me to use as i usually don't have the time to pamper my face at night and more so, this cream is for normal to dry skin . I still went ahead to try it, it's a very smooth cream and is suppose to give a youthful appearance to the skin, i did'nt notice much about it thou, maybe because i wasn't keen on rubbing my face at night, i prefer instead to let my skin feel natural at night and just breathe. The full price for this cream is £42.00 which i think is too pricey, so i advice you pls try out a tester first before you commit to a full size especially because of the high price tag.

Daily Energizer Wake-up Booster - I actually used this one very well because it contained vitamin C (we all know what vitamin C does for the body). It really does what it say, it brightened my face instantly and was so cooling. it was like a liquid moisturizer to me, i used it with cotton pad to gently wipe my face and allowed my skin to drink up the liquid, after 2-3 mins, my skin was fresh and brighter, it also smells AMAZING!.

Daily Energizer Cream - This is suppose to be for all skin type to gain hydration and glow, and should be used after the cleansing gel and wakeup booster. It didn't do that for me, it was too drying for my liking, it made my face look dull like chalk and overly too dry, it also smells kind of like orange zest (funny).

Toning Lotion - This is by far the best of all the rest, it's a lovely soft and gentle toner lotion in liquid to help prep your skin for anything. I like the hydration this toner gave my face, it just made my skin soft, soft, soft. Once applied, it felt like gel when i rubbed it with my fingers and it does'nt contain alcohol which i love, i don't like anything with alcohol because it feels too harsh for the skin. This toner is perfect and made me feel relaxed, it contains marshmallow and sweet almond, both to soften and comfort the skin so you can imagine the smell.....AMAZING TOO!

So my final thought is that they are all good individually, i would'nt suggest using every single one of the them because to me, that's just too many products for one face. Choose one that works with your skin, and if you want it to solve a particular skin acne, buy the product you think will work best for u and always try to get sample first just because of the price, it would'nt make sense to spend all that money on a product and it turns out not working for you. I personally think the wakeup booster and toning lotion worked the best for me, they both lifted my face and brightened at the same time, i will be repurchasing both of them to add to my skincare routine. All the product mentioned are gifts with purchase that i made but they can all be bought in full size versions, Have a blessed day everyone.  xoxo bynki

Cherub's Blush Review

Hi guys, today am reviewing this tint from MeMeMe Comestics, it's their liquid blush called Cherub's Blush and it's a tint for both the cheek and the lips. I wasn't very sure about it at first sight but i still went ahead to give it a try for a whole week to get my verdict on it. This is a tint, sort of like a liquid to help stain your cheek to give colour especially for people who don't really like makeup, i applied it to my cheek with the brush inside and then use my finger to rub and blend into my skin. At first, it was quite tricky because it dried up immediately before i could even blend it out and i didn't know what to make of it, but i gave it another try, only this time i blended it faster and added about five more drops from the bottle, i got a decent amount of the tint to cover my cheek and could see the stain on my cheek and it looked beautiful, very simple.



I Used More, About 4-5 Strokes


It actually gave me a beautiful cheek and the colour is gorgeous, it can also pass as a dupe for Benefit's Benetint, i do like it and also think it's something you can just rub on your cheek in the morning to give you a flush of colour when you do your school runs, instead of having a bare face without makeup. It comes in a bottle ( like a nail polish bottle) with the exact same style of polish brush applicator inside, the liquid colour looks deep red and thick but it is very light, I always shake the bottle before use to get an even consistency. The smell seems okay to me and it's not sticky but be careful so you don't stain your clothes and other things around you. I haven't tried it on my lips yet but i do think it's a reasonable tint for those who don't generally like makeup or have the time to apply blush, this is a quick alternative to give your face a pop of colour without makeup. Also it long lasting all day too, i was quite impressed with that and for a retail price of £5.50, it's a steal and that's the best part because everyone loves a bargain. Have you tried a liquid blush before? MeMeMe Comestics are really coming on the beauty scene, have you tried any of their other products? Have a great week and Toodlers.  xoxo bynki

Premae Harmony Moisture Serum

Hi guys, so i decided to try out this moisturizer from my GB box and i must say that i am really impressed with it. It's called the Premae Harmony Moisturizing Smoothie Serum, i used it all through last week and can confirm that am hooked on it.

It's a serum moisturizer and is good for all skin types, it helps reduce shine, soothe redness and even hydrates the skin, i applied it to my face after using my regular lotion and it instantly brightened my face.

After applying it, i then used my primer before makeup and it made my makeup flawless the entire day, It has a creamy texture and you can mix it in your foundation to make a matte BB cream (that i have'nt tried yet).

It's really light and smooths out evenly on the skin, it does'nt have any smell which is a good thing and i quite like the fact that it keeps the face shine free. The packaging is simple in a plastic long bottle with pump and clear cap, nothing fanstatic about it, i personally think it looks cheap because am a hugh fan of pretty bottle, tubes and glass, packaging in general.

It vanishes once applied and rubbed as you can see, the skin absorbs it quickly and that's why you get instant matte skin. I really like it and am glad i gave it a shot, will continue using it, even purchase it again once i run out of this one, i recommend it especially if you have combination skin.  xoxo bynki

Honestly this lipstick is da bomb, it's a stunning orange red colour, it's longlasting and even after wear, the tint will still be noticeable on the lips. It's quite pricey but worth it as it will last you a long time, you can also use it all season and the smooth texture makes it super easy to apply. Toodlers bynki

Graftobian HD Color Palette



Lovely Palette


This is the color corrector from makeup brand Graftobian company and i want to share with you guys as it's a pleasure working with this palette, i am very happy with this product and the quality is very good. It contains five colours, provides full outstanding coverage and  feels very light and smooth when applied unto the skin. It doesn't irritate the face although it has moist because it's a cream base, here are the colours and how to use them -
Soft Orange Neutral  - blue neutralizer
Yellow Highlight - cancels deep red and purple
Muted Green - removes redness
Pink Highlight - counteracts grey and brown
Extra Highlight - a light highlight

The use of this palette is versatile especially because of the five colours in one palette and i have it in my kit, and even use it on myself. It's quite similar to cinema secrets and rcma even better. The packaging is quite simple but small enough to fit in my kit, it's a small slim and sturdy palette with see through top, it also comes in individual small pot. This palette will last you a long time because the colours are so pigmented and extremely creamy and a little goes a long way, i would definitely recommend checking this out if you are a makeup artist or an individual, it's convenient and effective and provides great coverage. Have a great weekend,  xoxo bynki
