I know that it has been a while since my last post, but I have just been really busy with coursework and exams. So here is my first post of the year, featuring new make up I have discovered and enjoyed over the last couple of months.
Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette in Streak £22
I am slightly obsessed with Urban Decay, I have their Naked 2 and Naked Basics eye-shadow palettes. Now I have their Naked Flushed Palette in streak, also available in naked, strip and native, this palette has a bronzer, highlighter and blush all in one small and travel friendly compact. I simply love this product, as the bronzer is not too dark for my fair skin tone, the blush however, is highly pigmented so not much is needed and the colour is great and I love the rosy pink highlighter. It just gives the right amount of shimmer.
Bare Minerals Bare Skin Foundation £26
I have always wanted to try this product out since its release last year and I am very pleased by with this product. They say you only need 3 drops for a full face of foundation with their perfecting face brush manufactured specifically for the foundation. Three drops does cover a full face, but I do prefer a medium to full coverage so I use between 4-6 drops. My colour is Bare Ivory 04. Overall, it is one of the best foundations I have used and will continue to use.
MAC Veluxe Brow Liner £15.50
I was in desperate need of a new brow pencil and this is perfect for what I need. A pencil will last longer compared to a wind up pencil which I previously owned. I like the fact that this brow pencil comes with a brush to shape and tame hairs. I have the brunette shade which is a perfect colour match. The veluxe brow pencil is also available in four other shades, including strawberry blonde, redhead, deep brunette and deep dark brunette.
MAC Mineralize Eye-shadow £17
This eye-shadow is a limited edition from the Lightness of Being collection. It is available in six shades, force of nature (brown), just breathe (light blue), leap (lavender purple), Natural Vigor (champagne peach), spiritual life (pale lemon) and uninhibited (light grey). I have uninhibited, it has such a sparkle and shimmer for a light layer, which can be built upon without a heavy coverage. I love this eye-shadow and simply wish that it wasn't a limited edition. All eye-shadows are half pearl, half frost, which adds such a luster to the product.
Happy Shopping!
