Prescriptives Liquid Magic Powder

This range was launched last year in the US and has come to the UK more recently. There's quite a collectionif products in the range, which have received varying reviews in the media etc. The one item I was actually tempted to buy was the Liquid Magic Powder - not least because it is something genuinely a little out of the ordinary - and that's not easy to find in cosmetic circles these days! Perhaps the most striking thing aout the product is the feel of it when you put it on - it really is like brushing cold water on your face. If you dip your finger in the powder it feels really wet and cold - in a nice kind of way. The product is designed to give ...  Read the complete review

I am a real makeup junkie. Being an ex-model, I have been luck enough to pick up lots of tips on how to enhance the good and disguise the rest.

It is a little 'sparkly' but if you avoid the oily parts of your face, it has a nice effect. I usually brush ...  Read the complete review

This stuff was recently sent to me by a very good friend who works in the beauty industry. I think it is one of the most useful and peculiar items of makeup I have ever possessed. Recently there has been a rash of products on the market which reflect, bend or in some way bugger about with the light. This is a good thing as it allows sheerer, lighter products to be used to create a more natural effect. These products have an added advantage in that you can apply them with a trowel in the most haphazard manner and you still look okay. Nothing, however prepared me for this weird little gem. At first glance it seemed an ordinary powder with an incredibly useless ...  Read the complete review
