Considering the amount of new products that come out every season from a multitude of high-end and drugstore brands, I’m still never able to resist trying them out. Luckily, from time to time I get to receive new products to try out from some of my favourite brands, which I’m tremendously grateful for.

This Summer, Rimmel London came out with loads of new products and courtesy of Rimmel London Malta, I got to try them out so I could share my thoughts with all of you lovelies.

So let’s delve into it!

Starting off this post, we have the Magnif'Eyes Palette in the shade London Nudes Calling. It contains 8 different rosey-nude shades ranging from matte to shimmery. Now to be honest with you the mattes are not as pigmented as I hoped they would be, but the shimmery ones make up for that – they are super pigmented and creamy so they blend like a dream on the lid. The palette is also quite compact and travel-friendly, having a nice sized mirror which you can use on the go.

Moving on, we have the Scandaleyes Bold Eyeliner. After reading some negative reviews, it got me really intrigued in giving it out a try myself. The liquid liner has a ball-tip applicator which I thought would make it harder to make a precise line, but boy was I wrong! It is so easy to use, and as you will see in the photo further below, it applies a mean winged liner. It boasts to be waterproof and stays on for a good 24 hours which I have not tested out myself so I can’t comment on that. But as a liquid liner, it's quite good. 

Next up we have the Radiance Shimmer Brick. It comes in 2 shades – 01 which is for lighter skintones, and 02 which is for more bronzy-olive skin tones. Since I’m quite fair, I got mine in the shade 01. It gives a nice bronzy glow to the skin without being over the top. I just love it for everyday use – for that healthy glowing look. 

At last we have my new found holy grail mascara. The Volume Shake Mascara packs the pigment while giving your lashes the volume they need – I was even asked if I were wearing false eyelashes when wearing this mascara! It does not clump and has a new shaking-system which refreshes the formula each time you shake it.  Overall, I think it’s a wonderful mascara.

All items have been used in the look below ❤

Have a lovely Sunday!

Love, Thereseanne

With the arrival of Spring, we see a lot of brands coming out with new collections. And BeYu Cosmetics, a brand I’ve already talked about in previous posts, came out with a new collection called Sensual Spring. So let’s move on to the reviews and swatches!

Be Sensual Highlighting Powder

This highlight is made up of beautiful swirls of pastel shades that when combined together give you that subtle, sheer glow which makes the skin appear more youthful and glowing from within. This highlight gently reflects the light without making you to shiny – especially if you have oily skin. Its light texture makes it perfect for warm/hot weather because it’s pleasant and gentle on the skin. And because it gives a subtle glow rather than a more in your face highlight, I think it would be suitable for all skin tones. The mineral oil and fragrance-free highlighting power is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Be Sensual Eyeshadow Palette in No. 2 Sensory Appeal

This palette is made up of rose and pink shades ranging from light to dark. I must admit that the texture is slightly powder, however I found a way to work around that – I apply the eyeshadows using my finger + I slightly dampen my finger to get the full potential of the colour and then blend the edges with a brush. The packaging is a trendy marble-inspired metal box which makes it great for travelling. This palette also comes in another set of colours – No. 1 Sensual Appeal which is made up of browns and champagne colours.

Sensual Lip Oil in No. 3 Huge Pleasure

Lip Oils are big this season. This Sensual Lip Oil is gives a subtle pink sheen to the lips, leaving them looking smooth as if you just applied a glossy lip balm. Rich ingredients such as jojoba oil, Karité butter and vitamin E are found in this oil and help protect even sensitive lips. The Oil can be applied on its own, underneath or over your usual lipstick for even more bright and glossy look. It sits comfortably on the lips however like every other lip gloss, I’d suggest you wear it on days when it’s not windy.

All these products are suitable for sensitive skin as skin compatibility is dermatologically approved. Also, if I’m not mistaken, this is a limited edition collection so make sure to get your hands on it while it’s still available.

BeYu Cosmetics can be found in all Franks Outlets

Until the next one,
