One can simply not resist when they walk into the glass doors of a MECCA Maxima store! I managed to restrain myself quite a bit this time round, leaving with only two items, a purchase which left my bank account not too rattled.
NARS recently released a brand new collection for Spring 2015 called "Eye Opening Act", a collaboration with the ever so gorgeous actress, Tilda Swinton.
When the two eyeshadow palettes released, I knew that I had to get my hot little hands on them! Catching my eye was most definitely the NARS Yeux Irresistible Eyeshadow Palette purely for that gorgeous copper toned shadow in the middle! My heart was swooning and I nearly melted when I swatched the bad boys! NARS eyeshadow formulas are one of my favourite, and this palette did not disappoint!
The palette comes with six gorgeous, pigmented and blendable eyeshadows:
- All About Eve - flesh toned neutral shimmer
- Jezebel - copper shimmer
- Thunderball - midnight blue grey matte
- Colombo - vintage gold shimmer
- Brousse - warm toned taupe shimmer
- Coconut Grove - deep brown matte
When I went to Hong Kong last year, I found the most incredible soft peachy-pink lipstick by Maybelline part of their NEO Nudes collection. Despite loving the colour and creaminess, the longevity just wasn't up to scratch for my liking. So began the quest of searching for an exact dupe where months later, I came across the Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Posy Pink and oh my, did this rock my world!
These lipsticks are incredible! So creamy, so pigmented and the lasting power of these is out of this world! I wore this out to a 21st birthday party and many drinks later, this baby was still there looking as fresh as when I first applied it! If you haven't checked these out, what the hell are you waiting for?
PS. I hate to brag, but I just can't resist at a moment like this! MECCA Maxima actually regrammed this picture of mine on their Instagram! Holy moly. What an honour! Check it out!
Much love and stay gorgeous,
