BB creams

In Space NK this month,its all about skincare.

On one of the hotspots is about BB creams...so I thought, I would talk about my favorite one; the Satin perfection BB cream from Ren...






This cream is silicone free and adapts to your skin tone. It is meant to leave the skin luminous, even and non oily.


Now I am a person who needs a lot of coverage.... perfect skin? Not something I am blessed with. However when this came out, I thought I would give it a go and just use my trusty secret camouflage on any imperfections.

First impressions? Well I was sort of confused, if I am honest. I really liked how my skin looked fresh, natural, radiant. But I felt naked. I needed to cover up!! But I persevered, and by the end of the day, I really liked it.

Not only that but every SINGLE time I wear this, people comment on how radiant and fresh I look. Yayy!

I definitely think its great for that person who doesn't want to wear foundation every day

Important to note: It is SPF 15.

This has definitely become my go to bb cream

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts?

Hourglass Ambient lighting powders....the new generation powders?

These Hourglass powders I am so excited about!

But first,before I get too excited, I want to talk about powders in general.

Powders generally, are used to set the make up...right? Why else would you use them?

Now days everyone wants that 'dewy glow' 'youthful radiance' ...myself included even though I have oily skin! (thanks to the Hourglass mineral veil primer I can have it... SEPARATE REVIEW NEEDED!!) So how can you have dewy skin, but still have your make up last all day? Its impossible...right?

WRONG

The Hourglass Ambient powders are the answer....(with a little help from the primer)

These powders come in six shades, and are for want of a better term...your own personal lighting system... each powder creates a different lighting effect, and all of them will give you an airbrushed finish blurring any imperfections (blemishes, open pores, wrinkles etc) You can use them to highlight, to sculpt,to set, it is up to you!

Each one will give you the illusion of different lighting;

Ethereal light and diffused light are the two out of all of them that I would recommend setting your make up with. Ethereal mimics a moonlight glow while Diffused has yellow tones in which will conceal redness while giving your skin a beautiful morning glow.

Dim light is a neutral colour.. a perfect balance of warm and cool tones. This powder is gonna blur imperfections giving you that awesome flawless finish. This could be used as a setting powder...but us pale ladies beware.... you need a LITTLE bit!!

Mood light is a pale purple shade and is also my fave! its brilliant to brighten dull, tired skin... giving you a forgiving radiant complexion in any light!

Luminous light is a champagne colour. It is the one you would use as a highlighter as it has the most sheen creating a candlelight glow.Perfect for a night out!

Radiant light is like a shimmery bronzer, that will give you that sun kissed glow. But unlike a normal powder you get that amazing airbrush like finish.

I am loving these powders right now. Mood light and diffused for me please!

Go to your nearest Spacenk store and let me know what you think!

Hourglass can be found at SpaceNK online;

T3...the science of fabulous?

T3

The first thing you need to know about me is that I suck at hair. Really badly.  I love hair products,  I buy them in bulk...But I just can not use them!  So it stands to reason that when I was informed that I was going to have hair training in work by the brand T3, I started to freak out a little... I'm going to have to style hair? I CAN'T EVEN DO MY OWN. Then I thought this could be an opportunity... 

So training day came; I am HOOKED. I think that this brand may help me overcome my fear of hair....and actually make me good at it...?! (hard to believe I know)

Little bit about the brand....

T3 is powered by advanced tourmaline and softaire technology that makes styling quick and easy and (the best part) GOOD for you hair? WHAT?

Tourmaline ions help frizz (79% reduction in frizz) and volume (93% increase in body) all the while giving you that nice shine that we all want...I know I do!

Other hair tools that claim to have tourmaline ions in them may be coated in it but will inevitably wear off over time. However the ions have been melted into the metal meaning as long as you have the product, it will have the ions.

The range may seem expensive however as the ions are melted in to the metal, it will last you far longer than any generic hair tool will. Its an investment .. I try to look at it like this... I would happily spend £200 on clothes, why not treat my hair?

I  have to admit, I was skeptical. I always am when it comes to haircare.... because nothing works for me. 

However I tried the curling wand... being a curling wand virgin, I was a tad nervous, but it was so easy! Less than 5 minutes to do all my hair... WOW

So far I am very impressed with the range....which launches in SpaceNK in early May. I may have to make a cheeky purchase... the featherweight hairdryer is right up my street....proven to be better for your hair than air drying...I'll never look like a drowned rat again! (probably a few more posts to come on T3 after my splurge!)

At the moment in the UK only the hairdryers (both featherweight and featherweight luxe) the straighteners and curling wand are available exclusively in SpaceNK until November 2013;
