Prep and Prime Fix + Coconut by MAC

I never really wanted to try setting, finishing, or fixing sprays, because I don’t believe in them. My skin can simply be too oily and there are only a few products that can overcome that. But I do love face mists a lot, especially in the summer mornings and after my workout.

To get to the point – this was on sale, it is coconut scented and I just had to try it. 

Prep and Prime Fix + by Mac is a light moisturizing face mist, enriched with glycerin and fruit extracts. It can also help to improve the look of your makeup by taking away that powdery finish and making it look more natural. I can not talk about that part, because I’ve been using this strictly as a refreshing face mist and I love it like that.

The scent of it is just divine and super pleasant (it is not that fake one) and it doesn’t last long, so don’t worry about the compatibility of the scents from your other products. This mist is super refreshing and heavy. It is not a fine mist, but quite a strong one, so I can’t imagine using this over my makeup. I think I would mess everything with it… Be prepared for a little shower moment. As it dries down, it becomes slightly sticky.

The bottle looks and feels quite cheap, so I don’t like it too much. I don’t know how can they justify the full price.

So, if you like coconuts and you’re looking for something that would give you a refreshing boosting splash on your face, then this is for you.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
