New Favourite Bronzer - MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush - Trace Gold.

Hello Beauty-Ful Guys & Girls!

I'm gonna talk to you a bit about my favourite Bronzer at the moment. 

MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Trace Gold. This and Laguna (NARS - Blog here http://www.beautywithbelinda.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/kit-staple-nars-blushbronzer-duo.html are pretty on par but I love this colour for contouring as it's a bit darker. So I bought this a few months ago and it's a MUST in my every day Make-up Routine. It's a beautiful Cocoa colour but has a beautiful subtle gold shimmer to it, without it looking too overpowering or looking like you've chucked a bunch of shimmer on your face haha. It is nicely pigmented, so a little does go a long way. I have only just started putting a bit of a dint in it and I have used it most days for about 4 -5 months now. When you first see the little compact it comes in you think to yourself "there's not a lot in here" but it does last quite a long time which to me justifies me spending the money ( MAC is also substantially more expensive in Australia). Everyday, I use it contouring and to just give a bit of colour to my skin to make it look like i have a bit of a tan (which I don't haha). Most skin types will be able to use this product except for the darker skin tones. If you have really pale skin I'd use it more for just a contouring colour as all over the face will look a bit strange in comparison with the rest of your body. Check out the website www.maccosmetics.com.au - just drop the au at the end in America. Here in Australia it's $41.00. In the states it's only $21.00 - yes, we pay almost double what you pay in America - and I have no idea why but I have always loved MAC so I'm happy to spend the bit extra money for a product that's going to last and is of good quality. Or if you know anyone that is going to America, give them a list ;) haha. 

I'll attach pictures so you can see it on me and what the product looks like.

As usual, if you have any questions or suggestions let me know. 

Have a Beauty-ful Day/Night.

Favourite Highlighter Review - NARS Albatross

Hello Beauty-ful People!! 

Have you missed me? I'm sorry I've been away for a while. I'm back and ready to get back to it!. 

Tonight, I'm going to do a review and tell you about my favourite Highlighter. 

NARS Highlighter in the colour Albatross. Now, I have a few NARS products and they do not disappoint!. I use this product every day - well every day I put on makeup and am absolutely in love with it. It comes in a cute little black compact with a mirror on the top side of it, like most compacts. It appears white with a beautiful opalescent tone to it but it goes onto the skin with a beautiful sparkle and barely shows in the dark but when the light hits it, gosh it's stunning (I've attached a photo of it on me, and where I put it). I put it on the top of my cheek bones and sometimes in the centre of my nose - everywhere where the light usually hits the face naturally. I also have been using it now as a brow highlighter, which it's also beautiful for. Like I said before, I use this product a lot and let me tell you - a little goes a looonnnggggg way!. I have barely made a dint in it and have had and used it for months. 

So in Australia, unfortunately we don't have access to NARS as much as people in other countries. So we have a store over here that's called "Mecca Maxima" it's a beauty store that sells a lot of high end Make-up and Beauty Products. Check them out here www.meccamaxima.com.au. I purchased it at this store for $45.00. I'm sure you can get it cheaper in the U.S.A as that's what the case is usually when it comes to Make-up. If your not in Australia check it out for the closest location to you here www.narscosmetics.com. You may think it's a bit expensive but the product does last a long time and it's very highly pigmented so you only need the tinniest bit to use to make you look beautiful and glowing. 

If you have any other questions about this product, let me know and as usual if you have any other suggestions on what you'd like me to try out - let me know :). 

Hope you're having a Beauty-Ful Day/Night. 

Lots of Love 
Belinda xx
