Disco Makeup
“Perfect amount of shimmer (ilia doesn’t glow; rare beauty makes me look like a disco ball). The rose gold shade is lovely on my pale skin, just enough hint of color that I can wear it on its own as blush, but also looks beautiful layered with a dab of cream blush or powdered bronzer”
Glam Makeup
“With this mascara I didn’t even had to do anything in the evening for restaurants as it was perfectly staying on. I used Lancôme eye makeup remover and it’s was easy to remove , also when you remove it it doesn’t come off with your eyelashes like other waterproof mascaras. ”
