Benefit 'That Gal' Brightening Primer
I have recently fell in love with this product after using up a sample I received when I bought the Benefit 'Porefessional' Primer, as soon as I ran out of the sample I purchased it in full size. There is so much to like about this product; some of the ingredients in this primer are raspberry and camomile which gives it a gorgeous, refreshing fruity smell. The texture is like silk, it applies so smoothly and creates the perfect base for foundation. The primer does what it says on the label, it truly does brighten up my skin even when foundation is applied on top my skin in still glowing. Also it does the job of keeping my makeup in place. 'That Gal' is now my favourite primer and part of my everyday makeup routine.
Chanel Perfection Lumiere 50 Beige
I think I may have found my perfect foundation! As I have said before I have tried Chanel Vita Lumiere and Lift Lumiere, along with many other foundations and was dissatisfied with them, but this one is 'perfection'. It answers all my prayers when it comes to foundation; the coverage, colour, finish and durability tick all the boxes. Initially I thought that Perfection Lumiere might be too heavy for me as it is described as a full coverage and matte finish foundation. So I tried a sample first and found that the coverage is adjustable, meaning you can build the foundation up to create the coverage and finish to suit you. This and 'That Gal' primer are a perfect combination.
MAC 'Painterly' Paint Pot
This product creates the perfect smooth base for eyeshadow making it easier to apply and blend and prevents the eyeshadow from creasing and wearing off through out the day/night. I use this every time I apply eyeshadow.
MAC 'Pure Zen' Lipstick
This semi sheer peach/pink lipstick is my favourite nude colour to date. It is the perfect everyday lipstick and also works with so many makeup looks. This lipstick is a Creamsheen formula, the finish is more like that of a lipgloss and is really moisturising. This teamed with MAC 'Dervish' lip pencil is my go-to at the moment.
MAC 'Mulch' Eyeshadow
The colour 'Mulch' is described as 'red brown with bronze pearl'. One of the reasons I love this eyeshadow is because I think it makes my green eyes 'pop'. Like most MAC eyeshadows it is well pigmented and so easy to work with and blend.
This colour is so easy to work with, it looks gorgeous on its own applied all over the lid and below the lower lash line, I wore this last week and it reminded me of a Mila Kunis eye makeup look I had seen. This colour also works with so many colours, I use it alot in the outer corners teamed with colours such as MAC 'All That Glitters' or 'Patina'. I find myself referring to this colour a lot and it is definitely one of my most used colours in my palette.
