Summer Skin, Sun kissed
A few months ago, just around the onslaught of spring I decided to take a break from wearing foundation. I am one of those unwilling makeup persons who loves a good routine, loves having a good foundation or three in my arsenal because you simply never know but make no mistake, I am a lazy…

Nars Dolce Vita; better than an Orgasm
When it comes to make up, I am one of those barely there type loving woman who still owns a good range of foundation and skin tints that I don’t regularly use but have them as a just in case. However, one make up item I may bet my life on is a good blush;…

SKIN SAVIOUR- AUGUSTINUS BADER
So what does an essence do? This is the question I asked myself before buying this product, mind you, I will buy anything by Bader. The beauty counter person says an essence is meant to help your other products perform better hence applying this as a base product. Hence this is the badest to ever…
