If you are one of the millions of people familiar with the Youtube beauty world, you might have come across one of y favourite Youtube Beauty Vloggers Wayne Goss. Wayne Goss, a Cardiff based Makeup Artist has been making Youtube videos since 2008. He isn't your average youtube 'guru' who fills his channel with hauls and tags. He breaks down makeup techniques into the simplest form, he also does product reviews aswell as makeup tutorials.

A few weeks back he announce that he would releasing his own brush collection, It makes sense that he would have his own brush collection because he always says when you have the best brushes the makeup application is a lot easier.

The brush collection consists of 8 brushes ranging between £13/£22 - £30/$50. The brushes where hand crafted in Japan using cruelty free hair. 

The brush collection is now available on www.beautylish.com in the US and www.love-makeup.co.uk for the UK and the rest of the world.

Burberry Spring/Summer 2014 Nail Polish Collection

 

Burberry revealed a new nail polish collection backstage at the Spring/Summer Show 2014. The will only be available for two weeks before being on hold until their official launch in January 2014. The polishes were created to match the handbags that models such as Cara Delevigne, Ava Smith and Edie Campbell rocked on the runway.

The collection will have six shades; Pale Yellow, Rose Pink, Mink, Sage Green, Dusky Mauve and Pale Grape

Burberry's first nail polishes launch this month as part of their permanent beauty collection, but if you would like to own the new six-pack of shades you might want to move fast because I think they will be selling out before the two window is up.

You can purchase the Burberry Spring/Summer 2014 collection for £90/$153 from Burberry.com until September 30th.

Review: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

I have been meaning to do this review for a while now, I actually don't know why it took me so long?! but here it is!

Description from Nars

''A glowing, natural radiant finish foundation with sheer and build-able coverage that immaculately evens skin tone. Replete with skincare benefits and the NARS Complexion Brightening Formula, it leaves skin hydrated, more luminous, softer and smoother. Used daily, Sheer Glow Foundation improves the skin's brightness and texture. For normal, normal-to-dry and dry skin types. Hydrates for softer and smoother skin.Contains powerful anti-oxidants to protect against damaging free radicals and turmeric extract to improve skin's radiance and tone''

Packaging

The foundation comes in a a rectangular glass bottle with a black lid The lid can be pulled off to reveal a small twisty lid, this means in order to use the product you will need to pour it on the back of your hand or a palette - sigh. Now I'm sure many people who have used this product can agree with me when I say a pump would help because having to pour the product out can be wasteful.

Colour

I have used this foundation on myself and on clients of various shades, however to get the right complexion for some of my clients and myself I had to mix two of the foundation shades. Although, since I've moved to Australia I haven't needed to mix two shades, I have been okay with one shade which is the Trinidad shade. It also comes in 21 shades.

Application

I pour the product on the back of my hand and apply it using the Crownbrush Taklon Foundation Brush. However, François Nars actually recommends pouring the foundation in your palm and applying it with your hands. Its totally up to you, you do what you are comfortable with.

Formula

It is a water based foundation so give it a good shake before you use it. It does take a little while to set on the skin as its pretty liquidy. It also doesn't have SPF which works great for photography. 

Nars claims that the formula hydrates the skin, protects against damaging free radicals and improves skin radiance and tone. I have been using this foundation for a while and I haven't seen and benefits to my skin *shrugs*

Finish

It gives a nice satin-dewy finish. I have dry skin and oils need a little bit of help to look alive with makeup.

Coverage

It is a buildable product, so you can have sheer and full coverage. You have a lot of control with how much you can apply depending on your desire coverage.

Longevity 

I have used this foundation on myself on a hot day (see below) and it has stayed on all day without touch up. I also used this foundation in particular for a music video shoot for Rachel Kerr on a very, very hot day with filming lights all on her for hours and it did not melt! - I had to blot and powder a couple times but overall I was impressed

Price

It is $44AUSD/$26GBP  for 30ml of product from the Nars website. For that price they could have put a pump on the bottle! 

Rating: 8/10
