Current Obsessions

Over the past few months I have discovered, and bought some amazing things that were way to good not to share. And a little sneaky purchase never hurts nobody... Right?! 

|Céline Luggage Tote|
My obsession with bags is on a whole new level of Crazy. So you know I absolutely love a bag when I use it for at least 3 weeks straight, and I have used this for at least 3 months straight!! It may be a bit pricey, but it is so worth it. It is a perfect mamma bag, it is so spacious so it fits all my babies stuff and my own with even a bit extra room. And a bonus being black it goes with any outifit! 

|Maybelline Instant Age Rewind|
Dark Circles be gone! I have heard so many mixed reviews about this product, but I love this product beyond! I literally look I have had a good 12 hours sleep, when in reality that doesn't happen. I love how much it brightens up my undereye area and of course covers my undereye circles, because they be major some days!! 

|Valley Eye Wear Dark Tort Brown Sunglasses| 
These shades have been my go to lately. I can't get enough of them. I absoloutley love how big and chunky they are, they are the perfect no makeup situation shade, and any situation shade for that matter. Not only am I totally obsessed with these, Im obsessed with the brand, they have some amazing unique sunnies that you wont find in any other store/brand! I actually have some other pairs form Valley, but favourites favourites we all have them... and right now these are the fave! 

|NYX Butter LipSticks In Taffy, Little Suzie & Cotton Candy
These lipsticks are everything,honest perfection in a lippy. The colour pay off is insane good,and they are SO creamy it feels like you are literally smearing butter on your lips without the oiliness ha ha! If you haven't tried these head to your nearest target, and TRY them!

|Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream|
I have heard so much about this product for so long now and I finally went out and bought it. This stuff is literally the bomb it soothes and moisturises to the max. I love that this product can be used any where on your body, its not just specific to one area.. #winning.  

|Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment|
The hype is real about this product, but the price is also real.. Its hella pricey! Recently I had been having crazy breakouts and my skin was definitely not looking its finest, so I started using this mask 1 time each week, and using it as a spot treatment whenever needed, and I can honestly say this has helped my skin clear up in record time, its incredible. This mask is my holy grail. One thing I will say is that after you use this it pushes all the impurities out of your skin so you do get a few spots after, but once they clear up.. Girl you be looking Flawless!! I also tried a couple of other masks from the range and I do like them but not as much as this one!!  

Thats all my current favourites I would Love to know what you have been loving lately, or your opinions on any products mentioned!!

Nude Magique Eau de Teint Foundation Review

I am a sucker for a good foundation, I have quite the collection happening. So why not add another one to the collection and see if it will live up to my much loved revlon and mac foundations! So The other day I picked up the Nude Magique Eau de Teint Foundation, since there has been some massive hype around this product and I wanted to see for myself if this foundation would live up to the hype surrounding it. 

On the Priceline website this foundation claims: A perfectly nude look and a flawless finish without the heavy make-up feel. With its lighter than water formula, Nude Magique Eau de Teint provides undetectable coverage while letting skin breathe for a fresh and flawless complexion. The velvety texture endlessly glides over skin. 

I purchased this at my local Priceline for $24.95 and I got mine in the colour 140 pure beige. It Definetly does claim to do a lot, but did it live up to its words?! 


The first thing that drew me straight to this product was the packaging, I knew I had to buy it as soon as I saw it. The bottle is made from glass as are many other foundations, but the shape and just in general the look of this foundation made it appear very fancy and elegant. I know, I know its not all about the packaging but it is always a bit of a bonus! 

L'oreal's main focus of this product was to produce a very light feeling foundation. I do love a natural look, and I don't have terrible skin so I was excited to try this product but I still like to wear a medium coverage foundation.

As I just mentioned I do like a medium coverage foundation, but I did not expect much coverage from this product. But I was shocked at the amount of coverage I did get out of this. It does say that it is meant to be lighter than water and it is, so therefor I expected a very thin BB cream like application, but I did get surprisingly good coverage. 

When It says lighter than water, it really does mean it. I was a bit shocked at how much it felt exactly like water its a bit weird really ha ha!! One thing I will say, is I think this product would work much better with some sort of pump, even though I did read you are supose to tip it on your finger tips as you would a perfume. But it can get quite messy so a pump would work much better, I'm still figuring it out!! 

This foundation applied perfectly, a very smooth application. It did say to apply with your fingertips and the first time I did it that way, but I must say I did actually prefer using a foundation brush. I felt like I could blend it out a lot better with my brush. But that is just personal choice. As I did mention L'oreal does suggest you tip it out just as you would a perfume, but I do feel like I tip out too much every time, which isn't very convenient. I do love the fact its like water though, very cool! I use around a 10c-20c  piece amount to cover my whole face depending on how much I tip out and how my skin is looking, it is very buildable. It feels incredibly Light on your face, goes on so perfectly and gives a good amount of coverage. 
This foundation lasts really well on me, I haven't noticed it sliding off at all but I do always use a primer and a light dusting of powder over top. I'm really impressed with how long it stays on my face considering how light it is. It lasts me a good 6-8 hours depending on the day. And I mean it doesn't look absolutely terrible after that, a bit of extra powder and im good to go!

Overall I really did love this product. But I did wish it had some kind of pump, so I didn't always have so much extra wasted product. And I still did need a bit of concealer for those undereye circles and for the odd spot if I had one but it does have very buildable coverage. I loved the feeling that I didn't have any foundation on, and the fact that it is just so easy to wear. It is a really easy application to the face with great buildable coverage. It gave my skin a really natural flawless finish with a beautiful natural,dewy glow. And the bottle was stunning a real winner for me. I was beyond impressed with this product, and it is a great everyday foundation. I wouldn't wear it out at night but for the day time its perfect. I really did hope this product would live up to the hype and for me personally it really did. This product is amazing a huge Welldone to L'oreal on this one, Absolute Love! xx Sammie
