Sandra‘s Closet

Mariah Carey, «songbird supreme», has once again teamed up with M·A·C Cosmetics for a second holiday-themed makeup collection. The singer has dazzled us with her songs and timeless contributions to music for decades and now brings her extraordinary glamour for the second time to an iconic makeup collection with M·A·C that’s all you’ll ever want. After a successful 2015 partnership, Carey and M·A·C are ready for round two and we are, too.

Needless to say, there is plenty of glitter incorporated into the collection itself, which includes many beautiful sparkeling products that I can absolutely recommend for the festive season. I am anyway a «smokey eyes – nude lips» type of girl and Mariah Carey x M·A·C offers everything I adore.

Estée Lauder launches the ultimate loose powder: Re-Nutriv Intensive Smoothing Powder. The texture is smooth, silky and luxurious. The remarkable technology contains ingredients that help prevent skin from losing moisture while it minimizes imperfections.

I am using the powder at the moment and the complexion looks radiant for hours and very natural. It doesn’t settle in fine lines throughout the day and feels very light on the skin. Especially when you are getting older or when you are having dry skin, powder can be tricky. The Estée Lauder Intensive Re-Nutriv Smoothing Powder is never heavy, chalky or drying.

I love this product and know you will too if you try it. The powder comes with a luxurious puff and a golden powder brush, in four different shades: light, light medium, medium and transparent.

It is already available in the US for $50 and will hit the beauty counters in Switzerland (the only European country!!!) this month, CHF 96. So ladies, there are now four reasons to come to Switzerland: Chocolat, cheese, watches and Estée Lauder’s powder.

LoL, Sandra
