Body Shop Foot scrubs and L’oreal Paris Skin Perfection Purifying Micellar Water

Two in One
 
Body Shop Soothing Peppermint Foot Scrub

Taking care of your feet is just as important as taking care of the rest of ourselves especially when on those summer days where the strappy scandals come out to play and no one likes those dry cracked feet.


 

This foot scrub is a joy, it leaves your feet feeling soft and smelling minty fresh, but moisturising your feet after the scrub is a must for the best results just as you would normally do after cleansing or exfoliating your face.

We love this foot scrub and cannot help but get pampering our feet after a long day of work in heels and after two weeks of using the scrub we have managed to get some fantastic results. 
We love <3


L’Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Purifying Micellar Water

We had to give this newbie a try especially when we were having trouble taming those pores around the t-zone areas! We cannot rate this cleanser enough…it’s right up our street!

We have a strict skin care routine and did not want to adjust something new to our routine, however this water cleanser is definitely one product that you need to make space for in your wash bag for and we will tell you why.



The Skin Perfection Purifying Micellar Water is very gentle on skin,  it leaves the skin feeling nice and refreshed without having to get past the whole tingling and burning effect It takes makeup, oil and dirt off pretty well without making the skin feeling dry or tight, also we here at beautybymarya found out that after one day of application we began to see a positive different, our pores looked smaller and our skin looked much more smoother. This cleanser is simple, just dab a little bit on a cotton pad or wool and give your face wipe and on the plus side it’s comes with a good price tag at  only £3.33.

What are your thoughts?

YSL lipstick


Illamasqua Hydra Veil Gel

Illamasqua’s first step towards cosmetic care and their definitely going in the right direction for skin care and beauty. This primer is definitely one of the best primers on the market. The gel like primer instantly hydrates the skin, leaving the skin feeling moisturised and cool. The hydra veil caters to providing the perfect smooth base for perfect makeup application.



Forgot your bareMinerals prime time and smashbox photo finish primer, this primer is the one to keep by your side. The primer is able to tame the driest of all skins, however it is a tad expensive but a little does go along way.

We hope to see more excellent products like this from Illamasqua in the near future.

Pakistani Photoshoot

A recent outdoor photo shoot with a well known pakistani designer.

Giorgio Armani Designer Lift

We love makeup and one product that has caught our eye recently is the Giorgio Armani Designer Lift foundation. Our first Giorgio Armani beauty love was the Luminous Silk foundation which is a lightweight, hydrating foundation which you can gradually build up so it’s between light to medium coverage, perfect for everyday wear. However Giorgio’s Armani Designer Lift foundation gives you more or less all of what you can get from the Luminous Silk but its a full coverage foundation. We cannot think of a more perfect combination foundation, well that was our thoughts when we first tried the foundation.


Say goodbye to imperfections 

The results that we had seen at first were mind blowing and we could not help but to fall instantly in love with the foundation. The foundation is lightweight and spreads easily. It left the most flawless and luminous finish without looking liked you have a heap of foundation on, it leaves that kind of finish...the one we have always hoped for. 

However we put the foundation to the test and we definitely do not recommend it for dry skin unlike the Luminous Silk which has no problem catering to the dreaded dry skin. We attempted to use the foundation on dry skin and it does not work well at all and neither does it last very long but when dry skin is at bay this foundation sits perfectly and is long lasting. 

Giorgio Armani Designer Lift FoundationIf you loved the luminous silk then you will love this foundation.

This foundation is definitely something that we are keeping beside us. 
What are your thoughts on the designer lift? 
Yay or Nay?

Smashbox Studio Skin Foundation

We, here at beautybymarya are most certainly loving Smashbox’s studio skin foundation. We tested the foundation out many times and we just cannot fault it apart from that the liquid was slightly thick making blending slightly harder, but this ones certainly a keeper!



The foundation is hydrating, so all those whom suffer from the dreaded dry skin can be reassured that this foundation most certainly leaves the skin feeling moisturized. The foundation provides a medium to high coverage whilst leaving a fabulous flawless dewy finish which we love!


What are your thoughts on the studio skin? Yay or Nay?
