CURRENT EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

~ Amy | bobo & mimi ~ 1 Comment

I’ve been wanting to do a skincare week on the blog for ages now and I’ve finally got round to it. Skincare has become a bit of an obsession for me over the past couple of years, mainly because I feel like I’m finally finding products that are doing an amazing job of improving my skin and making it look and feel the best it possibly can – you only get one face after all, so you may as well take good care of it!

Over the next five days I’ll be featuring loads of my absolute favourite skincare products – some new discoveries, some that have been a part of my routine for years – along with chatting about what I’m currently using.

Today I’m kicking things off with running through my evening skincare routine and current products…

HOW MUCH DOES MY FACE COST?

~ Amy | bobo & mimi ~ 1 Comment

I’m kind of obsessed by the ‘How Much Does Your Face Cost’ Tag – this is where you make a note of all the products you have on your face for any one day, note the cost of each item and then total it. Now obviously you won’t be using an entire bottle of foundation or an entire lipstick in one go, but them’s the rules!

BEAUTY REVIEW: MAC X CAITLYN JENNER FINALLY FREE LIPSTICK

~ Amy | bobo & mimi ~ 4 Comments

MAC’s latest celebrity collaboration launched in the UK last week and I ordered one as a little birthday present to myself. Finally Free has been developed in collaboration with Caitlyn Jenner and shares the same charity principles as the Viva Glam lipsticks, with all of the RRP value (minus VAT) going directly to causes benefiting the transgender community in the UK.

MAC X Caitlyn Jenner Finally Free Lipstick

‘Finally Free’ is described as a ‘mid-tone rosy nude’ and on me that’s definitely an accurate decision. I’d call it a ‘my lips but better’ shade, that’s got a slightly rosier hint than my natural lip colour making this a perfect everyday lip option. I feel like it’s a more flattering version of the 90’s nude, as it definitely leans more berry toned than brown on me. Continue reading “BEAUTY REVIEW: MAC X CAITLYN JENNER FINALLY FREE LIPSTICK” →

MY DREAM MAC BLUSH PALETTE

~ Amy | bobo & mimi ~ 1 Comment

I spent a fair bit of time this weekend organising and tidying my make-up stash and realised I’m getting to the stage of hoarding with MAC blushers that I could definitely justify getting myself a palette to hold them. This let to a spot of browsing on MAC’s website because, if I’m going to get a blush palette, I might as well think about getting a couple more blushers to fill it, right?!

Jump forward a couple of hours and I had a list of about twelve blushes that I’m convinced I absolutely, totally, 100% need in my collection. Someone needs to stage an intervention. Rapidly!

But it did made me think about creating my ideal MAC bush palette – so here’s what would be making it in to my dream MAC blush palette…

Dream MAC Blush Palette: Peachykeen, Well Dressed, Fleur Power, Melba, Desert Rose, Harmony

TOP ROW:
Peachykeen – Very baby peach [Sheertone Shimmer]
Well Dressed – Immaculate pink [Satin]
Fleur Power – Soft bright pinkish-coral [Satin]

BOTTOM ROW:
Melba – Soft coral-peach [Matte]
Desert Rose – Soft reddish-burgundy [Matte]
Harmony – Muted rose-beige brown [Matte]

All in all, this seems like an excellent excuse for me to buy a few more blushers…

What would make your dream MAC blush palette? Any good ones I’ve missed out?
