Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup review

I hope everyone had a good weekend? I still don’t have any internet – I hate Sky argghhhhh so am really missing blogging over the weekend L Hopefully should have the net in a few weeks so will keep you posted!!

Anyway onto more positive things – Prescriptives make up! I thought I would tell you about an amazing product I was sent a few weeks back and have been using religiously since!! Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup SPF 10 is an all-day liquid mineral foundation that stays fresh and lasts up to 16 hours, while helping protect with non-chemical UVA/UVB sunscreen. It also contains an exclusive R.E.C. complex (Radiance Emitting Crystals--a unique combination of Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Calcite) to give skin extra luminosity and makes it really glow! I love this foundation as it is really light, but gives enough coverage (which I think tinted moisturisers don’t) and is good for your skin being a mineral product. It also blends in easy and looks really natural AND contains SPF 10 so has been perfect whilst we have been having this lovely sunny-ish weather! It is a little pricey at £24 from House of Fraser, but I think it is worth it and would recommend it if you have fairly good skin that needs brightening up!

What do you think? Has anyone else tried this? Have a nice evening lovelies…! xxx

Good in Bed night moisturiser from Prescriptives

To rejuvenate tired skin at night, I have been using Prescriptives Good in Bed Skin Restoring Night Moisturiser (£38.17). This revolutionary night cream makes skin look instantly radiant before you to bed and even better in the morning! It contains a blend of moisturising shea butter and vitamin E, brightening grapefruit extract, light reflectors and self-tan that brings back the glow to your complexion. I absolutely love it and recommend it as a great base to use under foundation to add a ‘glow’ to your look!

I love Prescriptives Custom-Blend!

On Saturday we were lucky enough to be invited by Prescriptives to try out their new custom-blend lipglos service, as well as having our very own custom-blend foundation created!  The Prescriptives Expert Blender identifies your skin’s undertone and creates shades and formulas that are perfect for your skin tone, so no more streaky foundation! 

A lovely lady called Jo, from the Prescriptives counter in Selfridges created our make-up for us. Firstly you have a consultation about your skin type and what sort of coverage you wish to achieve. Then, your skin tone is identified and the foundation is mixed up for you. Jo was really helpful and made adjustments if you wanted it to be lighter or darker. As you can see from my sister's photos above, the foundation matched her skin tone perfectly and so did mine. In fact, when I apply my foundation now you can't even see it on your skin as it matches so well. It leaves your skin extremely smooth and helps my dry skin feel radiated. It's not cheap at £44 but is worth every penny. I've got my secret formula written down now, so I'll be using that for life! I have also been using the gorgeous vibrant-C skin brightening cream moisturiser (£36) before applying my foundation, as it is the perfect starting base and boosts skin's clarity, translucency and luminosity. 

The custom lipgloss service is also equally fab and so much fun! You can create any colour, shade, texture and taste you want or match a specific shade or a favourite lipstick! I created a gorgeous fuschia pink shade, with glitter and a berry fragrance - my idea of heaven! For under £20, it's great value and is a perfect present for any female. You can see my photos above of Jo creating the lipgloss and my sister modelling the final result. What do you think - how good does my sis look? I'm not photogenic at all so I won't be putting any photos of me on here but I can promise you the results are great!

Prescriptives Moonbeam lipgloss review

Ok as you know I am a massive Prescriptives fan and love all their products!  The Moonbeam lipglosses (£13) are amazing for shiny, sparkly lips. They utilises new pigment technology that actually enhances light's reflective qualities, creating a super shiny shimmering lip look without feeling sticky or tacky. I love the fact that they are also great for moisturising lips as well as soothing and healing chapped lips. So basically you don't need to ever use any other products on your lips as this gloss does it all! 

More beauties from Prescriptives...!

I have been trying & testing out some more of my favourite Prescriptives products this week and I am building up quite a collection now which I am loving!

I have been feeling a bit pasty recently, probably because of the rubbish weather outside! Prescriptives have some great products to help brighten up your skin which I have been using to beat the snow!

Prescriptives Flawless Skin Total Skin Protector (£24.00) gives a natural, luminous look and a smooth, flawless finish all day long and reduces shiny, un-even skin caused by central heating! Sunsheen Bronzing Trio (£23.00) contains three shades in-one blend together, to sweep sun-kissed warmth all over your face - so you look like you have just come back from holiday, even though you haven't!

Finally I absolutely love the Lash Builder Mascara base coat £13.00 to use before applying mascara to help build up and strengthen lashes - definately worth investing in to use before a night out. Enjoy!

Prescriptives make up...

I have been using some great products this week from Prescriptives and thought I would share them with you.

My favourite is the new Photochrome compact foundation (spf15) which comes in a cool metal package. The smart photochromic pigments make skin look natural in any light, all day long and I love how it starts off as a 'cream' foundation and then finishes as powder. My skin did look really flawless and lasted all day so definately worth trying out. My only concern is the size, which I do have my doubts on how long the foundation will last me so let's see! 

I found before apllying the Photochrome foundation, using the Illuminating Liquid Potion which has three-dimensional holographic pigments, helped create flawless looking skin and ensured the foundation lasted longer.. genuis! Finally I tried out the Falsh Eyelashes mascara which is fab for giving lashes volume and conditioning them at the same time. 

I look forward to trying out more of their range and will keep you posted on my findings.. tada for now!

Latest products from Prescriptives

I've always been a fan of Prescriptives from visits to America over the past years. They have some great new products out for the New Year which are definately worth checking out. I particularly love the new Flawless Face Primer (£18.60) which gives your skin a smoother, more even looking texture so makeup looks flawless and stays on even longer. It also reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles, while helping diminish the appearance of rednesss (amazing!)  Use before applying foundation so that it lasts longer throughout the day and is available really soon at Prescriptives counters nationwide from 15^th January, 2009. 

All You Need+For Eyes Continuous Action 24-Hour Moisture (£21.53) has vitamins, plant extracts and time-released ingredients that work together to keep the eye area hydrated, smooth and radiant.  Perfect to help recover from all the post Christmas partying and really soothing on tired eyes, it's so soothing after a hard day at work - bliss! Hopefully Prescriptives will have a UK website soon but you can buy products from counters in House of Fraser nationwide apparently!
