Review: L’absolu Rouge “La Base” from Lancôme ♥


Hey everyone!!



So today I’m going to be review the L’absolu Rouge “La Base” by Lancôme. It is a revitalizing and highlighting lip treatment that contains Pro-xylane and SPF 10 sunscreen. You can get your own at Sephora or at any Lancôme counter for $35+tax.

What I liked about the L’absolu Rouge “La Base”:
  • It’s an ALL in one product.
    • Its lip balm, sunscreen and an anti-aging product.
  • Prevents lip wrinkles because it contains Pro-xylane.
  • Helps your lipstick glide on smoothly when applied on top of the L’absolu Rouge “La Base”.
  • Leaves your lips noticeably softer.
    • Really nourishes your lips.
  • Gives a cute shine to your lips.
    • Contains a very subtle amount of glitter (not very notable AT ALL).
  • Classy packaging for a lip balm. 
  • No other brands lip balm even compares to the results you get with the L’absolu Rouge “La Base”.


*can’t decide if this is a pro or a con*:
  • Pretty expensive... but totally worth the price.
    • You really get huge positive results.


What I didn’t like about the L’absolu Rouge “La Base”:
  • Terrible to use as a base
    • Lip products applied over the L’absolu Rouge “La Base” fade quickly.
  • Smells and tastes like roses.
    • Some people may like this but I HATE it. The taste is so strong it literally feels like your constantly biting a rose.
    • If you avoid licking your lips you should be fine.

Review: Anastasia "Brow Wiz" ♥


Hey everyone!

"Brow Wiz" by Anastasia


So you have all heard the term “eyes are the windows to one’s soul”, well let me tell you that the windows to your eyes are your eyebrows! Today I’m going to be reviewing an amazing eyebrow pencil called the “Brow Wiz” by Anastasia. Don’t resort to butchering your eyebrows when you can use this handy tool and achieve beautiful looking brows.

Out of all the products I own for my brows the Anastasia “Brow Wiz” is my go-to product. You can buy the Anastasia “Brow Wiz” at Sephora for $26+tax.

The “Brow Wiz” is super easy to work with and it leaves my eyebrows looking extremely natural. The product itself is small enough in diameter allowing me to mimic hair-like strokes really easily. Unlike other eyebrow pencils that literally make you tug your forehead to get colour payoff, the “Brow Wiz” is the perfect consistency.

The attached spoolie on the back of the pencil is really convenient. It’s the perfect size for blending out the harsh strokes without being too big and smudging the product outside of the brow area and onto the skin.
As far as longevity goes, this product last ALL day!  I never use a brow gel to set my brows and this look the same at the end of the day as it did in the beginning.

The lady at Sephora recommended the shade “brunette” for me which I personally think is too dark. I’m just using it until it finishes (which is taking FOREVER, seriously this stuff is a bottomless pit) so I can purchase it in the shade “medium ash”.

Before: Natural Eyebrows
After: Anastasia Brow Wiz in "Brunette"
and Urban Decay "Foxy" eyeshadow as a brow-bone highligh

If you pluck your brows try letting them grow out a bit and fill them in to see how you like it. For about two years now thick brows have been the way to go. Tweet me pictures and your thoughts on this trend (@naheedzzz)

Stay Fabuuloous!!
