Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is a new foundation, Fluidsplash 3in1, I am trying by Model co. Model co is a cult beauty brand based in Sydney, Australia and is the creation of former model agent Shelley Barrett.

Fluidsplash 3 in 1 Foundation is a revolutionary oil-free liquid foundation that comes with a concealer & eye base conveniently hidden in the lid. What an awesome idea! Now instead of having to carry three products in your purse you just need one! It is perfect for those touch-ups on the run, before a hot date or business meeting. Fluidsplash feels super light on your skin, giving you a natural dewy finish.

A buildable, deeply hydrating water based formula with over 50% water content that lets you achieve the coverage you desire – a flattering & long-lasting finish without a heavy effect.

Fluidsplash is enriched with Vitamin E & Aloe Vera, making it is easy to blend. The eye base will give you longer wear from your eye shadow and the concealer will help to cover up blemishes, giving you an overall flawless finish.

ModelCo creates premium beauty products for high demand consumers that are smart, quick-fix, multi-purpose and unique. The formulations, applications & packaging are revolutionary and of a premium quality. Each product cleverly combines cutting-edge creativity and technical innovation.

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is from Rimmel London. One of my many beauty addictions is lipgloss, I have one for every shade of lipstick I wear, as I love to blend them. I usually use the Rimmel Stay Glossy Lipgloss but I decided to try the Rimmel Vinyl Max Lipgloss for a change, the colour is No.401 Obsession.

It promises to be a “One stroke maxi shine lipgloss” and it certainly lives up to that promise. Above you can see with just one application you have gorgeous shiny lips, I did apply a bit of lip liner before hand to prevent the gloss bleeding. It smells good enough to eat and I love the plummy colour, it matches in so well with all the stunning jewel tones I am currently wearing. It is also long-lasting!

Caviar Manicure

Just when you think you have seen it all, along comes another trend to completely surprise you and challenge your ideas of conventional beauty. I know that I am certainly not ahead of the curve with this one but I have been admiring this new trend from the side-lines, to see if it holds any water! I must now confess that I am intrigued! What exactly is a Caviar Manicure? Well essentially this concept developed by Ciaté requires an application of caviar-like pearls, over a base coat of nail polish, to create a rather wow 3 dimensional effect.

The caviar manicure is currently available in three colour ways: Rainbow, Black Pearls and Mother of Pearl.

The inspiration behind the Caviar Manicure™ came about when Charlotte, Ciaté’s Creative Director, was looking to create 3-dimensional nails for a front cover magazine shoot and wanted to develop something feminine, indulgent yet delicately extravagant.

I thought I would include Ciaté’s instructional video on how to apply the manicure:

The caviar manicure is definitely a bit different, statement nails if you like! So what are your thoughts would this be a trend you would follow, something you would try?

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week is a Powder Blush from Almay. I have extremely sensitive skin which seems to be getting worse as I get older and I have found that Almay caters for people with sensitive skin. Their products are Hypo-Allergenic and very gentle on the skin.

I usually use no 01 Natural in the Almay Powder Blush in summer, as I find it gives you a natural sun-kissed glow but I decided to try the 04 Pink for winter. I am loving the colour, it gives me a pretty rosy cheek. For a seamless well blended blush application I have started using a Kabuki brush, which feels so soft, like feathers caressing your cheeks.

Another Almay product that I love is the Clear Complexion One-Step Compact Makeup, which gives create coverage and as it is in compact form makes for easy application on the run.
