NYX Intense Butter Gloss Review and swatches:

Hello my lovelies! Today I will be reviewing NYX Intense Butter Gloss which is the new formulated version of NYX butter gloss. It comes in 12 beautiful shades for Spring 2015. I picked up the shade "Apple crisp" which is a bold, bright, medium red with cool, blue undertones and a creamy, glossy finish.

It had rich, opaque color coverage that applied smoothly and evenly without pulling into lip lines. To me the texture of the NYX intense butter gloss felt absolutely divine.

Compared to the earlier version they are thicker, more pigmented, and they actually lack the beautifully buttery texture of the originals. I was a little disappointed they didn’t have that same light buttery texture of the originals.

Over some time, they tend to develop a bit tackiness and lasts 4 hours on me. It transfers a bit and I would say they are not like very comfortable to wear. I mean they felt a bit heavy and thick glossy on me.:((

I liked the earlier version more because it was light and was comfortable to wear. On that note I will say these are nicely formulated in their own right as well and have a longer wear, more pigmentation, and a texture that’s very, very nice but just NOT as nice as the original formula. Sorry, I just want to stress that they feel so much different compared to the original Butter Gloss texture. One more thing, since these glosses are super pigmented just beware of the potential smearing of the color. 
To sum it all up, I would say if you are looking for buttery gloss which is very pigmented and lasts on for long then you can definitely consider buying these. As for me, I will try some other shade and then review it on my blog soon, so stay tuned!!!
Till then take care.

Jennifer Lopez’s Luscious Blowout & Smokey Eye For L’Oreal: Get Her Look

Jennifer just keeps getting hotter and hotter! The 45-year-old singer looks breathtaking in a new L’Oreal ad campaign, in which she’s promoting a brunette-blonde hybrid hair color. JLo, who has sported the look for years, is the new face of #GoBronde!

Another stunning look from Jennifer! With hair this sexy, who wouldn’t want to “go bronde”?
The new color campaign describes the Hollywood favorite bronde color as “sexier than a blonde, spicier than a brunette,” and it’s a great way to add dimension to brown hair without trying to look like the blonde that you’re not.

JLo’s Bronde Blowout: Get The Look

JLo’s hair looks unbelievable! While we’re pretty sure she had a team of L'oreal hairstylist and colorist helping to create this voluminous look, you can still get a vixen sleek blowout at home — all by yourself.
Try using L'oreal Sleek It Iron Straight Heat spray before your next at-home styling session. Spray it on damp hair before blow drying with a round brush, or use it on dry hair before heat styling. The lightweight formula blocks humidity and frizz for JLo level sleekness while protecting your hair for smooth styles with lots of body!
We also can’t ignore Jennifer’s flawless makeup look. She was as gorgeous as ever with a deep bronzy smokey eye, and the dark colors of her eyeshadow were balanced out by a pretty, subtle pink lip.
We are obsessed with Jennifer’s new campaign, and the beautiful bronde hair trend isn’t going anywhere! What do you think of her look??

MAC Cosmetics set to open Exeter store:

MAC Cosmetics, described as ‘a broad line of color cosmetics, makeup tools, skin care and foundations for professional makeup artists’, is believed to be heading to Princesshay Shopping Centre.
The company are recruiting new staff online for Exeter, including makeup artists.
‘Various’ full time roles are being sought to be filled in the store when it opens in May.

Early rumours suggest the store will occupy the Snow + Rock space, opposite Debenhams.
MAC, which is part of the Estee Lauder group of glam-luxe cosmetics brands boasts Miley Cyrus as the face of its Viva Glam! Collection. Other celebrity ambassadors for the brand have included Rihanna, Linda Evangelista, Pamela Anderson and Catherine Deneuve.

MAC - short for Make-up Artist Cosmetics - was created by Canadian photographer and makeup artist Frank Toskan, who wanted colour cosmetics that would maintain their good looks on camera. The brand became a major hit with stylists, models and makeup artists, with the first MAC outlet launching in a Toronto department store in 1984.
Then a New York cabaret singer, Madonna boosted the profile of the brand when she posed in a MAC tee-shirt wearing its classic matte red lipstick and prompting the question; who’s that girl?
MAC's also teamed up with Disney to release makeup collections inspired by the animation iconic leading ladies, including Cinderella, Malificent and Snow White's wicked stepmother.
