NEW Prestige Cosmetics Total Intensity High Impact Eyeshadow Collection

Prestige Cosmetics will be launching a brand new range of eyeshadows called Total Intensity High Impact Eyeshadow (A$18.99) on Thursday 27 September 2012 online and in selected Priceline stores. The new Total Intensity High Impact Eyeshadow collection boasts high impact and long-lasting colour to provide you with vivid and intense shades to enhance the eyes! 

There are 8 gorgeous shades housed in a sturdy flip-top compact square. I love how the packaging looks very sleek and luxe! The eyeshadow formula is a luxuriously creamy and highly pigmented powder that uses duo-chrome pigment. The multi-dimensional effect looks beautiful when applied and the great thing about these eyeshadows is that they are smudge and crease-proof. You can apply them either wet or dry, however, I prefer to use them dry as they are already highly pigmented to provide bold intensity. 

Prestige Total Intensity High Impact Eyeshadows in: Spellbound, Crave, Bewitched, Hocus Pocus, Addiction, Obsession, Hypnotized and Black Magic.

Spellbound: a shimmery peach with a light golden metallic sheen.

Crave: an antique golden champagne.

Bewitched: a muted taupe brown.

Hocus Pocus: a dark chocolate brown with subtle green metallic sheen.

Addiction: a deep purple plum.

Obsession: an intense navy blue.

Hypnotized: a shimmering bright emerald green.

Black Magic: a soft charcoal black with silver shimmers.

I am amazed about the quality of these brand new Prestige Total Intensity High Impact eyeshadows as they are incredibly pigmented and the creamy soft texture of the eyeshadows make application very easy to blend. The range of shades are stunning and blending a couple of the shades together gives a beautiful shimmering effect to the eyes. I would definitely recommend these eyeshadows if you are interested in full colour, bold and long-lasting eyeshadows.

Are you excited about the launch of the brand new Total Intensity High Impact eyeshadows by Prestige?

Review: Prestige Skin Nude Foundation

A few weeks ago, I received a lovely package from Prestige and it contained one of their newest additions to their foundation line. The package contained a tube of Prestige Skin Nude Foundation.

I was surprised to receive this foundation as I've never used Prestige foundations in the past. The only product I have used from Prestige is their popular Sun Baked Mineral Bronzer which I used years ago! Their Sun Baked Mineral Bronzer is so popular as it's a dupe of MAC Mineralise Skin Finishes. 

Now back on topic... Prestige Skin Nude Foundation is formulated with Ginseng, Aloe and Viamin E to provide a stimulating, hydrating and soothing effect. The benefit of Vitamin E is that it helps to minimise signs of ageing. I have never come across a foundation formulated with this trio of ingredients, so I found it interesting to see how it feels and benefits my skin. 

I was provided with the shade '02 Nude Natural' and it turned out to be a little too dark for my light skintone. Despite the slightly darker shade of foundation, I was thankful that this foundation didn't make me look orange, as most foundations I have tried looked a little orange as the color match was a failure! There are five shades in the range (shade# 01 to 05).

The consistency of the foundation is very lightweight and during application it felt quite difficult to blend into my skin using a foundation brush. Using a foundation brush required a lot of product to acheive an even distribution of the foundation. However, I did find that using a sponge gave a better result. Using a sponge made applying the foundation very easy and it leaves my skin looking nice and smooth. There were no excess foundation around the corners of my nose and it made my skin tone look even.

The coverage is medium, however, I found that it was more of a full coverage foundation to the point where I didn't need to use concealer at all. 

I have an oily/combination skin type, so the initial dewy look changed from looking perfect to too oily from the 1st hour to the 4th hour of wearing it. I even tried to apply a light dusting of powder over the foundation, however the powder didn't spread evenly. 

Overall, Skin Nude Foundation wasn't the best foundation for me, despite the shade not matching my skin tone. The dewy finish is most suitable for people who have a dry skin type as it contains moisturising properties. I was also suggest that this foundation is most suitable to wear during the winter months.

Prestige Skin Nude Foundation is available from 29th March 2012 at selected Priceline pharmacies and online at www.prestigecosmetics.com.au and retails for A$24.99 for a tube containing 25ml.

Which foundation is your holy grail? Do you interchange foundations accordingly to the weather change?
