REVIEW - Mac Prep + Prime Fix +
It is not a secret that I am pretty much
obsessed with Mac products. The products always look beautiful and the quality
is amazing. So after hearing a lot of raving about the Mac Prep + Prime Fix +
for many years now, I finally decided to get one for myself and see if it is
worth the hype.
First of all, I love the fact that this product
is so versatile. Because it can be used in so many different ways, this product
has quickly become a staple in my everyday makeup routine.
I love spraying a few sprays on my face right
before I apply my foundation. This way it acts as a base for the makeup that is
put on top. It refreshes the skin, does a great job at moisturizing and makes
your foundation go on a lot smoother. Fix + has definitely become my favorite
primer of the moment.
We all have those days where we feel like the
makeup you just put on, looks a bit too powdery. Fix + is the perfect solution!
With just a few sprays of this, it makes a huge difference. My makeup looks
less powdery and gets a more radiant and glowy finish, which I love. Not only
does your makeup look better, it also lasts longer, because the Fix + also acts
as a makeup setting spray.
Another way I love using the Mac Fix + is by
spraying a bit of it on a makeup sponge and then blending my concealer with it.
It makes the concealer blend so smoothly and makes it look way more natural.
Also, when using the Fix + on a makeup sponge it prevents too much of the
foundation or concealer from sinking into the sponge, so that more of it
actually goes on your face!
I truly recommend checking out the Mac Prep +
Prime Fix + if you haven’t yet. Not only does it feel really refreshing and
does it smell amazing, it also makes makeup look better and last longer!
The Mac Prep + Prime Fix + retails for $22.00/£17.00/€16.50

REVIEW - Kiko Intensely Lavish lip pencil 02 Pretty Mauve
I
have been wanting the Mac Soar lip pencil for quite a while now, but as it
seems to ALWAYS be sold out, I was trying to find a good dupe. And I think I
might have found one! As Kiko just came out with their new Rebel Romantic
collection, which is absolutely stunning, I was browsing through all the new
products and stumbled upon the Intensely Lavish lip pencil. After looking up a
lot of swatches, I figured that the shade 02 Pretty Mauve was pretty similar to
Mac Soar, so I decided to pick it up and try it out!
This
lip pencil is the creamiest lip pencil I have tried yet. It is incredibly
creamy, which makes it really easy to apply to the lips and it is pretty much
fool proof. It is really pigmented and the shade is absolutely beautiful. I
love pairing this with a nude lipstick to create a gorgeous dark nude shade.
The lip liner is very matte and even though it lasts a long time it does feel
quite drying on the lips after wearing it for some time. So I do suggest
pairing it with a moisturizing lipstick on top, or maybe use a lip balm before
applying the lip pencil.
If
you are on the look out for a Mac Soar dupe, definitely check this lip pencil
out! Not only is the packaging with the rose gold lid stunning, it is an
amazing product and is only a fraction of the price!
The
Kiko Intensely Lavish lip pencil in the shade 02 Pretty Mauve retails for
$9.00/£4.90/€4.90
