I can't believe I am saying this but...I am exited about "no color" kinda clothes. I am craving some calm neutral colors and somehow white, black and beige are speaking to me and calling my name. So when I saw this new Chloe collection and it totally caught my eye. Light, simple, clean lines.

Philosophy: Purity made simple

I've been using this facial cleanser for a couple of weeks now and I think I am ready to share my thoughts on this product. It's starts off kind of like thick milk (I know it sounds strange, but that's how it looks like to me) So I spread emulsion all over my face and then add warm water. This cleanser doesn't really foams too much, which is different for me, since I'm used to foaming cleansers, but it does works wonders! It dissolves makeup very quickly and my skin is super clean every time I use it, almost squeaky clean. My skin does feel little tight afterwords but not over dried. Now for downside... Scent... I don't mind it at all, it's very hmmm grassy and essential oil like and I can see how it will turn off lots of people. I personally would have preferred to smell more of a clean (soapy) scent, but hey, I don't mind having "aromatherapy" moment while washing my face :-)

MAC Beauty Powder - Oh So Fair

How are you dolls? Enjoying this wonderful? It's been around 74F last couple of days and breezy. I love this time of the year! weather
So this is a quick review for MAC Beauty Powder "Oh So Fair" from Venomous Villains collection. I tested it for a couple of days in different light and even wore it to the gym to see how long the color will stay on my skin while I get hot and sweaty lol. So here it goes. "Oh So Fair" is one of the most gorgeous shades of beauty powders that MAC ever came up with. It's so soft and gentle and texture is great. I would say it's more of a very soft pink with a hue of peach to it. I wore it as a soft blush (I am NC 25-30) and it showed up beautifully. Some beauty powders are almost invisible on my skin (Dam Edna, Hello Kitty collections) but this one seems to have more pigment. So if you girls are looking for soft daywear blush and you are more fair or medium skin tone - give this one a test. It's going to be on the counters Sept. 30th and I think that it will sell out in most locations very quick.
With that being said, I think VV collection is starting grow on me more and more. I am still not really into the packaging and honestly mineralized shadows are nearly identical to my shadows from last year's collection "Style Black", but overall I see some interesting colors and can't wait to try "Magic" powder that is mostly water. Well I take it back, I did try it a few years ago... Raising your brow? Truth to be told that powder is same (or nearly the same) product that was sold under MAC's sister brand Prescriptives. But anyhow, I liked it back then, I am sure to love it now.
