GIORGIO ARMANI LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION

April 3, 2016 No Comments

*This has got me converted!!! No good if you like a heavy look but if like me you love the luminous, soft, dewy skin look then you will LOVE it..amazing colour match too as I have ridiculous yellow tones to my skin so matching can sometimes be tricky. Foundation lasts ages and a good one is worth the money. This is one of the products featured in the House of Fraser Intu Metro Centre Beauty Event which ends 10/04/2016 so you best get it while you can on the deal which is, Spend £50 and receive £10 off when purchasing a product from the selected products ???

GUERLAIN LIPPY

April 3, 2016 No Comments

*Love my new Guerlain Lippy shade 003!!!. There is something about a red lipstick that just makes everything OK! You can wake up, look like shit, feel like shit and have not one scrap on Makeup on but put on a red lippy and your ready to take on the world. My red lippy days are days when I am ready to literally do just this. Maybe I have that important meeting at work or maybe I just need a pick me up. This Guerlain shade is beautiful and is soft and sheer.It also tastes amazing so i have a tendency to lick it off. The girls in House of Fraser Intu Metro Centre helped me pick out this shade along with the matching nail polish. Thanks girls it was a good choice xx Lisa xx

Great for a day time foundation. gives a lovely luminous glow and is not heavy.

My favorite high street bronzer. perfect colour (not orange) and great being matte for my oily skin.

* NARS orgasm blusher

MUA’s favorite blusher and one that will suit all skin tones with a fabulous irridesent gold shimmer running through the high pigmented blush.

* Lancome Hypnose mascara

My favorite mascara at the minute. It does not clump or transfer and makes your lashes look like extensions.

MURAD HOUSE OF FRASER EXPERIENCE

March 30, 2016 No Comments

***DID YOU KNOW?***

Murad is an American doctorate brand developed by Dr. Murad himself in the late 80’s. Over at the Murad counter which is exclusive to House of Fraser in the Metrocentre Gateshead, the girls offer a complimentary service of a ‘youthcam’ which is a special camera that looks into the deeper layers of your skin. It allows you to see your hydration levels, pigmentation along many other concerns that you might have and advises you on the best way to treat it. They also offer 20 minute complimentary on-counter mini facials which allows you to try the products and see how they feel and work on your skin. I had a youthcam and mini facial experience with Sarah who is a skin specialist at Murad. Sarah is a lovely girl and really knows her stuff. My complimentary facial was so relaxing and I loved how the products made my skin feel (i can’t wait to do some product review over the coming weeks). The complimentary youth cam is a fantastic tool and very very interesting. This is great for all you ladies who really want to start looking after your skin and want to get the products that are right for you. Tried and Tested FB ladies pop in and have a try. Mention tried and tested and you will be well looked after ??? thanks so much Sarah for the Murad experience xx
