I stopped by this Mackage store mid-morning on a Friday. There seemed to be more staff than shoppers, and I wasn’t really greeted or approached until AFTER I told them I was there for the ChickAdvisor campaign - that was my mistake because as soon as I let them know, I couldn’t look at anything or move two feet without someone coming up to me and giving me all the product knowledge that I didn’t even ask for. While I understand some shoppers enjoy that kind of service, I much prefer to be left alone and if I have any questions, I’ll take it upon myself to ask.
Once I selected the product I wanted to purchase, I brought it to the counter and the check out process was quite quick and easy.
I purchased a scarf, and quite enjoy it, though I feel it was quite overpriced for its quality.

This is my favourite blush!! I first received it from Sephora as a birthday gift a few years ago, and fell absolutely in love with it. I use the same shade as the Sephora birthday gift option - Paaarty - and wear it every day. It really lasts the entire day, even after my foundation has long gone.
You definitely won’t regret giving this blush a try.

As typical with gluten free pasta, this does not tend to hold its shape for reheating, however, it hold up fine when served immediately after preparing. If you plan on teheatung a dish, expect it to turn into a pile of mush. For baked dishes, I prefer to use lentil or bean based pastas. -

After finding out I had a gluten intolerance, I needed to find a new way to make lasagna as I would be longer be able to use fresh lasagna sheets. These boxed, dried no-boil lasagna sheets are incredibly easy to use - just soak in warm tap water before use to soften. The pasta holds up its shape when reheating and does not have the typical gluten free girly taste. -

I received this product for free in return for an honest review. I received this in black, and while I gave naturally light hair, I regularly colour my hair black.
I did not enjoy the - I found the spray to be far too heavy, and I was unable to apply it evenly with the end result being patchy/spotty.
I would not purchase this in the future.

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream
I’d heard great reviews for this, and since I have really cry, painful, cracked hands in the winter, I gave it a try. It does help, and a little goes a looooong way, I didn’t find it to be the best - it’s good until my hands started to crack... +
I’d heard great reviews for this, and since I have really cry, painful, cracked hands in the winter, I gave it a try. It does help, and a little goes a looooong way, I didn’t find it to be the best - it’s good until my hands started to crack, once they cracked, it was far too painful to put on.
If your hands get super dry, but don’t crack, this may be a perfect hand treatment for you.

I’ve always been afraid to use highlighters - I usually only wear my everyday work look, but I’d been itching to give highlighter a try. I first tried a stick, cream style highlighter and had terrible results, so I gave this Laura Mercier powder a try. The colour is mild enough for daytime looks, and perfect for fair skin (which is why the other highlighter I had tried didn’t work for me).
I purchased the Laura Mercier fan brush at the same time as this and have had wonderful results.

After years and years of trying every concealer on the market, I finally decided to give Nars a try. I have not regretted it!
While it is a bit on the pricier side, it’s by far the greatest - no other brand of concealer even comes close. I use it for my always present under eye bags as well as for occasional blemishes.

I started using this as a base before applying a second Shiseido product, but after I ran out the bottle of the second step, I just continued to use the Ultimune Infusing Concentrate as my only every day moisturizer and it provides sufficient moisture and is the perfect chase for my makeup. -
