MAC Pro Longwear Blush - Baby don't go

Today I want to present you another shy and versatile blush. A few week ago I wrote that I won’t buy another MAC blush, because you can definitely find drugstore dupes, but I was wrong, you just can’t always do that and MAC was my solution. Or maybe this is just my excuse for splurging and I should search more. ˝Baby don’t go˝ is from pro-long wear line of blushes. I look for it this morning on official web page, but I couldn’t find it anymore, so I assume this is discontinued now. But you can definitely still find it in other web shops, or even Ebay, if you trust your seller.   Baby don’t go is described as light cool beige color with light sheen. On first sight it looks like a contour powder or light bronzer for fair skin tones, it is not typical blush. Lately we’ve been noticing a lot of ˝no makeup˝ makeup looks, which include nude blush. It might not show up extra natural if you’re strictly pale. Blushes with pink, violet or reddish tones can be unflattering during s...

Surrounded with roses

A few months ago I purchased Rose lip balm from Melvita and just adored it. I used it up in four weeks; it was in my hands constantly. So I decided to try something else from their line with roses. My first choice was a light face moisturizer – Nectar de Roses hydrating facial gel. Never enough of moisture and quality skincare, right? I am not very impressed with the product. It comes in cute pinky-white packaging, practical tube with pump which contains 40ml. Thumbs up for that, previous one was not so inviting. The thing that is bothering me the most is the smell, it is so overpowering to me. Although it contains high quality natural rose oil, it is just too much. I had also similar experience with Nuxe. What’s up with these overly fragranced products? Feels like I’ve been putting perfume on my face and not a cream for sensitive skin. It’s a miracle that it doesn’t irritate my skin or eyes, although I avoid eye area, it also didn’t break me out. It is more appropriate for normal sk...

Underrated: Makeup factory

How well do you know drugstore brand from Germany named Makeup factory? Let me just give you an answer – not enough. This is not sponsored in any way I just want to present you high quality products, which don’t give enough attention. We need to clear up something. This is a store brand, to be more specific, drugstore brand from Müller, but prices are in the range of MAC. Their products are made in Germany and this is also a reason that I trust them. It might sound bad, but I’m still not convinced in makeup made in China. For now I only own two products from them. Maybe their collections are not the most modern and visual appealing, but quality is really good. I love blushes, but sometimes you just need something discreet and easy to use. I was looking for something I can’t overdo early in the morning, when I’m still partly asleep and the light in my room is not that great. I discovered ˝ All over beautifier˝ . It comes in just one color named ˝Touch of Salmon˝ . You ca...
