Review: Mac Mineralize Charged Water Skin Hydrating Mist

Tuesday, 15 March 2016



What is it?
It's a refreshing, hydrating mist that hydrates the skin and enhances makeup application. It has a lovely fresh green tea and citrus scent.
How do you use it?
Close eyes and spray evenly at least 6 inches from the face. Use anytime after cleansing, before moisturising, and to reset applied makeup. Can be used with pigments, eyeshadows etc.

What key ingredients are in the product?
-Caffeine (used to brighten the skin)
-Diamond powder (acts as an illuminator)
-Water (to hydrate the skin)

Benefits of the product:
-Reduces dry skin
-Reduces tightness
-Smoothes out skin
-Glitter particles give the skin a dewy finish
-Acts as a moisturiser
-Can be used to cool down on a hot sunny day
-Great for enhancing colours of pigments, eyeshadows etc.
-Can be used as an alternative to moisturiser 
-Similar to Fix + just infused with minerals which is great for the skin.


Overall thoughts on this product:
I absolutely love this hydrating mist! I always use this after applying my makeup or when I feel my skin needs an added boost of hydration. It's great for the Summer and instantly cools you down when applied. The product is similar to MAC Fix Plus, however it is infused with minerals and also contains glitter particles, so it gives you a lovely, natural dewy glow. It is also a great substitute for a moisturiser, which saves lots of time if you are in a rush! 
The hydrating mist can be sprayed onto a beauty blender in order to achieve an even coverage when applying your foundation or concealer. It's also great for lightly spraying onto eyeshadow brushes, to achieve a much deeper pigment colour. 
Overall, I greatly recommend this product from MAC, it's affordable and also lasts for ages! 

My current favourite lip products

Wednesday, 9 March 2016



SWATCHES:


1. MAC FROSTED LIPSTICK 'ANGEL'

One of MAC'S best selling lipsticks, as loved by Kim Kardashian. This lipstick is a frost finish and is very buildable on the lips. It has a light pearly sheen to it which makes the colour appear slightly shiny. Angel is very similar in colour to MAC Creme Cup, although slightly cooler. I find this lip product to be long lasting when worn on top of a lip liner. Looks great on light- medium skin tones.


2. MAC 'VELVET TEDDY'
This product is one of MAC's matte finish lipsticks. It's a light brown colour with red undertones. The lipstick is really pigmented so one layer can be applied for great coverage. The product is also buildable so you can achieve a deeper brown colour with this! I would recommend scrubbing the lips before applying this lipstick for a smoother finish. Looks great paired with MAC's lipliner in 'Whirl'.


      3. URBAN DECAY REVOLUTION LIPSTICK 'NATIVE'

The ultra sleek packaging of this lipstick definitely caught my eye whilst I was shopping for a new lipstick! The colour of this lipstick is a pale baby pink colour, which when applied to the lips does come out a little sheer, so in order to achieve a bold, colourful lip, it may take a few layers to do so. The texture of the product is amazing, it's smooth and creamy formula enables your lips to stay hydrated. It contains a nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avacado oil, cocoa butter and shea butter so also acts as a lipbalm, great for those who suffer from dry, chapped lips!


4. MAC VIVA GLAM MILEY CYRUS LIPGLASS
This product is a must have for every makeup bag! It has a beautiful shimmer to it with iridescent pink, purple and blue sparkles, which looks amazing in daylight. The lipgloss has a lovely vanilla scent to it and lasts for hours! The texture is not too sticky too. I also love this product as every penny goes towards the MAC AIDS Fund, so it is definitely worth buying. 

5. CHANEL LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES 'MICA' #131
The perfect pinky nude colour in a lipgloss! This product applies amazingly, it contains iridescent white, fuschia pink and some blue particles which give the lips an ultra glossy 'plump' look. This lipgloss is long lasting with deep hydration and a conditioning formula for the lips! Great to wear for a natural look, either on it's own or on top of a lipstick.  

6. VICTORIA'S SECRET COLOUR SHINE LIP GLOSS
'PINKY'
This lipgloss is such a necessity! It lasts for hours, even after drinking and eating. The texture of the gloss is really light and not sticky so does not feel uncomfortable on the lips when wearing it. In the shade 'Pinky', which is a pretty baby pink colour with a slight pearly tint which makes the lips appear fuller. Looks great on top of any colour lipstick to add shine or simply on its own. Absolutely love this product! 


7. VICTORIA'S SECRET BEAUTY RUSH LIPGLOSS 

'LOVE BERRY'
 
This lipgloss is one of my favourites from Victoria's Secret. It has a lovely consistency and is not overly sticky, which makes wearing it so much easier. Its scent is amazing and smells just like fresh, juicy berries! The colour is fairly transparent so would be best worn on top of a lipstick, preferably a pink nude colour. I highly recommend Victoria's Secret lipgloss range!

8. TANYA BURR LIPGLOSS 'CHIC'

 
Tanya Burr's lipgloss range is amazing! This lipgloss is in the colour 'chic'. It is almost similar to a liquid lipstick as it holds such great pigmentation, giving you a beautiful glossy nude colour on the lips. It smells amazing too and you only need one application. These lipglosses are reasonably priced so I definitely recommend you getting one for your makeup bag!
