New In: Nars, Mac & Stila

Friday, 7 November 2014


It was my 24th birthday not long ago, so I celebrated by grabbing a few goodies (as you do right?). I stopped in at Mecca Cosmetica as well as the Mac Counter and this is what I picked up.

Lips: I had to visit the MAC counter so many times before these colours were in stock. I picked up Velvet teddy and Sin and am in love with both of them.
Velvet teddy is a beautiful deep nude (Hey Kylie). Sin is a deep vampy, very sexy burgundy blue/red which I find suits most skin tones, its beautiful.

Now, onto the face:

Stila One Step Correct





This has quickly become another holygrail for me, Im in love. With primers I’ve used in the past, I haven’t always been able to see a noticeable difference to the skin. This product though, OH MY GOSH! it actually does what it says it does – corrects the skin tone and brightens the face. Its made up of three different colours that each play their part:

green: minimise redness

lavender: counteracts sallow undertones

peach: brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots

I saw an instant change in my skin the first time I tried this product (at the Mecca counter) and can’t get enough. Ive found that it just instantly makes my skin look alive and radiant. I also like to use this on my skin alone when I don't want to wear makeup. Its a helix serum, so is super hydrating for the skin.


Nars Sheer Glow in Punjab




SERIOUSLY! I can’t get over this foundation, It has become my holygrail. Its lite on the skin, med-full coverage and I don’t think Ive found a foundation that has matched my skin colour so well. I am in love! Plus the fact that Nars doesn’t test their products on animals definitely won me over.


What are you're holy grails?

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
