Make-up history

Hello my lovelies, Today I'm writing just a short post to you to share very interesting video. I think it might be interesting to everyone interested in make-up. The creator of video is amazing Lisa Elridge, make-up artist and creative director of Lancôme, she recently wrote book about make-up history Facepaint. Video is starring incredible Madeleine Marsh, artist, writer and broadcaster. As said on her website "Madeleine’s particular interests include vintage fashion and women’s history and she is also author of Miller’s Collecting Perfume Bottles and of Compacts and Cosmetics- Beauty from Victorian Times to the Present Day – Pen and Sword – a social history of make up and beauty practices." So here it is, videos starring my two greatest inspirations. Videos tell us short history of make-up from Victorian era till 1970s. It is very very intersting.

Guerlain météorites

Hello my lovelies,
Today I'm finally writing a review for last Guerlain météorites from Christmas collection.
First thing first is this collection has gorgeous packaging. Météorites look like this beautiful snow globe. And inside there are little star météorites. What a lovely touch for Christmas. Just from the look of them you get the idea of Christmas and snow and snowflakes, which I personally love.
And the product itself in my opinion is great, it really is. Their colour is perfect, though only for light skin, but if you are darker, you can use them as a hilighter. I use them as a powder for whole face. Météorites in general became softer, so you can use any soft brush with them. They apply easily, look amazing on skin. Have some shimmer, but applied properly, doesn't look too much, looks just perfect. If you wanted to try Météorites, then that's the time. Sadly, they are sold out pretty much everywhere. But if you can find them, definitely buy.
If you tried them, please share you opinion and thoughts. Here I include photo of my météorites and photo of Christmas Guerlain stand.

Xoxo,
Sveta

Perfect foundation for dry skin

Hello everyone!
Last couple of months my skin really hated me, so I was trying to find a good foundation that wouldn't make my skin look even more dry than it already is. Firstly, I think I have to mention that I don't get on well with BB creams, most of them are either too grey or too pink or too yellow, too greasy, the coverage isn't great.
But I decided to give a go to a BB one last time and was looking for something really good. I ended up ordering Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream. And, it really is great, it has enough coverage so I just have to use a concealer under my eyes and when I have break outs. It looks quite dark, but when applied it does blend with the skin tone. It doesn't highlight my dry patches that I now have, it's got quite oily texture, so when applying blusher or bronzing powder, you definitely should powder before it. It sinks into skin very good, also feels great, though I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin. It's staying power is quite good, I do have to powder throughout the day, but it stays all day long. I think it's exclusive to wishtrend.com site, because I couldn't find it anywhere else, well it also is sold on ebay. It also has a protection of SPF40.
If you tried it tell me whether you liked it or not.

So, if you've found a perfect foundation for dry skin please share.
Don't hesitate to comment and
Enjoy!

xoxo
