Sally Hansen Healing Beauty 18 Hour* Lip Treatment

          

   Color - 07 Clear Raisin

Product Features:

• Sally Hansen 18 Hour Lip Treatment.
• Continual 18 Hour Care.
• Contains 2X Revitalizing Retinol, Grape seed Oil and Mango.
• Time released formula delivers superior moisturization hour after hour.

I am a Sally Hansen loyal. The products actually are what they claim to be! 

I bought it from Souq online in Dubai for Dhs.18 and this is my second tube! The product claims to treat, repair, condition and heal your lips for up to 18 hours and it makes your lips beautifully supple!!! 

It glides on very easily, using a small lip applicator and lasts for quite a long time. Its not sticky on the lips either.

It contains Retinol, Grape seed Oil and Mango, which work together to rehydrate your lips, while Allantoin soothes sore lips.
There is also a time release formula which means that these super ingredients are released slowly over a period of time.

Although it says "clear", when you apply it, it gives you a slight tint of color.

Frequent reapplication is necessary to keep that all day soft and supple feeling, and it's easy to carry in your makeup bag too... A good, well priced lip treatment which keeps your lips soft and kissable!!

So if any of you are suffering from dry cracked lips...this product is for you!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact - Bronze

Remember i told you guys about nagging my husband to buy me the Shimmer Brick Eye Palette and the Shimmer Brick Compact while he was on the plane??? Well as promised here's the review for the compact.

The first Shimmer Brick Compact Palette introduced by Bobbi Brown was this one. And after it became the top rated product in the Bobbi Brown range, a few other, not to forget, even better compact palettes were created. I wish i had them all!!! Check them out HERE.

Now this compact comes in a beautiful palette of five pearly shades, which can be either easily blended together or if you wish can be used as a single color on your face as a blush, bronzer, highlighter or even as an eyeshadow. The best part is, this product comes with an original Bobbi Brown blending/powder brush too.

I and this product have been inseparable since i got it. It's long lasting, does not powder off if worn throughout the day and it gives a soft bronze glow to my NC30 skin. Its not "orange-y" either like most of the bronzers are.

The only negative thing I've heard is a lot of fair skinned people complain about the compact being a bit too much for their skin but otherwise it's awesome for Asian skin tones. Then again do go by with the "less is more" motto with this one. You wouldn't wan to look too bronzed up ;)

So, do you own a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact? If so, which ones? What do you think of them? I would love to hear your opinion...

Estee Lauder Fall 2010 Blue Dahlia Collection

Doesn't Hilary Rhoda look divine here??? She does to me and that's what the Estee Lauder Fall 2010 Blue Dahlia collection  is all about - DIVINITY!!! 

 

 

The new Estee Lauder Fall Collection is something I've been extremely obsessed about lately.It comes in a glamorous golden compact, something I'm a sucker for.

 

The collection showcased above is Surreal Violet. The nail polish is a lovely dull lilac and the two shades of gloss sticks and pure gloss are awesome too, though I'm not sure if I'd ever wear the darker pink one! The two single eye shades didn't mesmerize me nor did the five color eyeshadow palette.

Now this one's my favorite, the Blue Dahlia collection. I'm sure you know already about my obsession for blue eyeshadow :D

The sexy nail color is something to die for and so is the five color compact (have I said it already?). The gloss sticks and pure glosses are sexy sexy sexy!

This collection features colors for both, surreal daytime looks and dramatic nighttime looks.

So which one's your favorite? Lemme know!

Stay Gorgeous,

Yummy Mummy.
