Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale. Kate was spotted this week at the Dublin Premiere of “Total Recall” in a smoking hot Donna Karan gown. The gorgeous brunette wowed the crowd in this stunning floor-length, pink satin gown, with her hair loosely curled and just sweeping her shoulders – she was indeed a vision of loveliness. She completed her look with none other than a pair of Jimmy Choo, nude peep-toe heels and a beautifully embellished Judith Leiber clutch.

My August 2012 rubybox

I am loving my August 2012 rubybox, as it contains two products that I have been wanting to try for a while now and a new fragrance to add to my travel, fragrance collection! We went away this weekend and I found it is so much easier taking the tester size fragrances in my toiletry bag, rather than the full size breakable-glass bottle!!!

Esse Gel Cleanser – this locally produced, organic, deep-cleansing gel cleanser combines the natural oils of peppermint and spearmint, which help improve mirco-circulation, in the skin. It gives your skin a bit of a wake-up call and leaves it feeling well cleansed and refreshed. Esse is a range I have heard so much about and I was super excited to discover it in this months box! It is recommended to use this cleanser on normal, combination skins and oily skin in the morning and the evening but only in the evening on dry skin.

Maybelline Great Lash “lots of lashes” – This iconic mascara is loved by make-up artists and beauty editors the world over but is one of those products that I have always seen at the store and heard so much about, but not actually tried! Well now I have the chance. I am a Maybelline girl anyway so I do not need any convincing, I usually use the Define-A-Lash Mascara but I must stay I am now a convert. As part of Great Lash’s 40th Birthday Maybelline have added the new “Great Little Grabber” brush, which amazingly gets to every lash, giving your lashes awesome definition and a wonderful curl. This is definitely a must for your make-up bag!

Paco Rabanne Lady Million – This fragrance is described as being “sparkling yet sensual”! I love bold fragrances and Lady Million certainly packs a punch, it has distinctly fruity undertones, with one of favourites, neroli oil taking the lead. The wonderful fragrance is further enhanced by the wonderful scent of jasmine, gardenia and the spicy warmth of amber. Can you tell I LOVE it!

rubybox professional Classic Angled Blush Brush – One can never have too many make-up brushes! This brush aims to define your cheekbones to the max. The angled bristles allow you to create a dramatically defined cheek with great precision, giving you a truly sculpted finish.

Sisley Limited Edition August Glossybox

On Friday I received my Sisley Limited Edition Glossybox to review, perfect timing for a bit of weekend pampering! I was rather excited about trying out these products as Sisley is a brand that I have not used before.

My Sisley Limited Edition August Glossybox contained the following products:

Cleansing Milk with White Lily – A creamy cleansing emulsion that dissolves the toughest make-up products, whilst preserving the balance of dry, delicate skin. I am loving this cleansing milk, it is very gentle and nourishing on your skin and it removes all traces of make-up, without drying out your skin.
Floral Toning Lotion Alcohol Free – Toner designed to perfectly remove make-up and keep skin looking clear and fresh. The toning lotion leaves your skin feeling wonderfully refreshed and silky smooth, ready to apply your day or night cream.
Facial Mask with Linden Blossom – A very refreshing cream mask, sheer bliss for dehydrated skin. Relaxes and smooths the skin, recommended for sensitive skins. This is definitely something I need as I have exceptionally sensitive skin, I have not tried it yet but will be sure to let you know what it is like.
Eye and Lip Contour Balm – A balm specifically formulated to effectively address the appearance of fine lines, dry skin and under-eye puffiness. Yay this is perfect for me, all the late nights and early mornings are resulting in very puffy eyes! The balm is wonderfully calming on the delicate skin under your eyes.
Restorative Facial Cream – recommended for repairing the damage caused by continued exposure to the elements, such as sun and wind, helping the skin to recover resilience. I am hoping that this cream will restore the moisture to my skin, as it has become very dehydrated during the cold winter months.
Anti-ageing Lift Foundation – A 2-in-1 formula which instantly smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The skin is left refined, blemish free with a luminous even complexion. This was an added extra to the box, a bonus product if you like. It sounds amazing but was only provided by Sisley in ‘soft rose’, which is probably a bit light for my skin tone, so I will be passing this on to a friend.
