Luscious Lipsticks in Red & Pink

Neutrals

Many people are afraid of trying out a new colour on their lips. I don’t understand this but each to their own.

Review: Lancôme Advanced Genifique

Neutrals

Developed from 14 years of research, the Lancôme Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate is the brands newest serum designed to tackle anti-aging. Housed in a sleek, contemporary dropper bottle, this concentrate aims to add radiance to your complexion while smoothing fine lines. So, why use a serum? Unlike a cleanser or moisturiser, serums can penetrate deeper into the skin to actively solve a range of issues that your skin may have. A serum is lighter than many other skincare products and should be applied after cleansing and toning and before your moisturiser in order to work effectively. This anti-aging serum would probably work best on those aged 30+ or those who have visible signs of aging. The formulation Lancôme Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate is packed with powerful ingredients to…

Neutrals

Soft, glowing skin looks beautiful all year round but add a little bronzer and you’ll resemble a golden goddess. In summer, we tend to crave clear, dewy skin and no matter what skin type you have, that look is possible with a few handy products. Let’s start with skincare Good skincare will give you a smooth complexion that will look striking either with a natural base or foundation.
