MAC Lip Scrubtious in 'Summer Berry' - Review

Can I just start by saying how excited I am that more brands are starting to make lip scrubs?  I've always been into exfoliating my lips, but especially since becoming a beauty blogger and doing lip swatch-fests, the fact that more and more brands are joining the lip scrub train makes me super happy.  Gotta take care of that pout!

Up until now, the only brand that carried a lip scrub, that I had access too was e.l.f.  But now MAC is joining the lip scrub game with their 'Lip Scrubtious'.

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in 'Trafalgar', and Dior Addict Fluid Stick in 'Trompe L'Oeil' - Review, Swatches, and Look

I've been a big fan of the "warm and rusty" shades of makeup, for the past little while.  So, when I saw the Dior eyeshadow palette in 'Trafalgar', I immediately fell in love with the rich red shadow that is featured in the centre of the palette.

Here's a little look I put together with some "warm and rusty" Dior picks.

Limited Edition Dior Addict Ultra Gloss - Swatch & Review

When I attended the taping of Cityline's Fashion Friday, we went home with a generous bag of goodies.  The thing that I was most excited about was the makeup (of course).  The first thing that I had to try out, immediately, was the new Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss.

This is the colour #659 'Reflected'.

Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque - Review

That's right, I'm doing a review on skincare!  I tend to steer clear of skincare, because my skin tends to negatively react to almost any skincare I try.  But when I read the ingredients on the Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque*, I thought that this might be my chance to test out how brands products play with my skin.

Tired, lackluster skin now has a fast-acting pick-me-up. New Charcoal Rescue Masque from Dermalogica, which launched in February 2016, detoxifies, brightens, and invigorates all skin conditions, with ingredients that draw out excess oil and impurities, refine pores, calm redness, and improve skin texture and smoothness. With the power to address skin aging, dullness, breakouts, and sensitivity, this heroic skin savior is ideal for anyone looking for a healthy, vibrant, and balanced glow.
