PRODUCT REVIEW - LAURA MERCIER CAVIAR STICK EYESHADOWS

Image
I got these as a set of mini's, you get six differnet colours in a set, varying from mattes to shimmers. All of the colours are all very wearable and I wouldn't say that there is a 'dud' shade in the bunch. I really like the texture of these, they are very smooth and glide on to the eyelids without effort, so great for putting on in a rush!  As these are cream eyeshadows they can tend to slip and slide on the skin, however these have really good staying power, I went straight from work to the gym and this was still in-tact after a good sweat! I would say these could rival the longevity of the By Terry Ombre Blackstars! Big statement, I know! Sugar Frost - A gold shimmer Ganache - A matte dark brown Khaki - A moss green with shimmer Amethyst - A light pinky/purple with shimmer Aubergine - A matte dark plum Rosegold - A pink/gold shimmer

PRODUCT REVIEW - BECCA BACKLIGHT PRIMING PERFECTOR

Image
I have waited quite a while to get my hands on this beauty! (It came from SpaceNK if you live in the UK like I do.) The product itself is supposed to act as a 'instant filter' for your skin. It comes off the back of the Becca S himmering S kin P erfectors and is basically a bottle of 'illumination'. Following all of that, once I got it, I put it straight on my face and I can tell you that I saw an immediate difference using this primer compared to my others. My skin looked my flawless and radiant and I had a glow about me that I have never seemed to of got before. Another great thing about this product is that you don't need a lot, a pea-sized amount will cover your entire face. I put this on after I used my morning facial oil and it was a winning combination. Not only does it give me a wonderful glow but my skin also looked smoother and more even, my foundation sat better on my skin. I love this primer and would highly reccommend you try it! Below I have add...

PRODUCT REVIEW - STILA EYES ARE THE WINDOW 'SPIRIT' PALETTE

Image
I love this palette! It is my current go-to for eyeshadows. You get in total 12 shades to choose from and there is not a 'flop' in the bunch they are all great colours. This is great for a present or to take away when you are travelling as you have 12 shades in one pretty compact palette. The texture of these are buttery and the blend quick easily. I'm a pretty big fan of this product! Colours: Kitten, Puppy, Pigalle Oasis, Jezebel, Barefoot Wheat, Golightly, Espresso Chinois, Slate, Pewter

A RE-DISCOVERY! UNA BRENNAN - FIRMING NEROLI OIL

Image
So I was curiously looking through my bathroom cabinet that is filled with a lot of products that I don't use anymore, but I'm not quite there to throwing them out...If you don't live in England then you may want to know winter is upon us. It's cold and windy and raining, and my skin does not like it one bit! My face is dry and de-hydrated so I have been searching online for an oil, to really help with my dry skin, but I was looking in my cabinet and found the Una Brennan - Firming Neroli Oil. I know I'm only 21, and don't need 'firming' products quite just yet but I remember buying it because it has rosehip oil in it, which I was quite obsessed with at the time. I though 'hey, it's already here, let's give it another go'...and so I did. I'm very glad I did becuase this stuff is amazing! It's quite unusual as you work it onto dry skin and leave it a couple of minuets and then get a damp cloth and wipe the remainder off. But the fe...

PRODUCT REVIEW - CHARLOTTE TILBURY MAGIC FOUNDATION

Image
The actual foundation itself is very nice. I really like the demi-matte finish it gives. It has a very good coverage and my skin is having a real nightmare recently and with this foundation you can't tell (for the most part) that I have blemished and marked skin which is great!  The texture is quite 'thick' so make sure that you really work the foundation into the skin otherwise you might get that 'cakey' effect, which no-one wants.. I do however feel like it let's your skin breath when applied right and leaves it hydrated. I also feel like you don't need that much product compared to other foundations as it does have great coverage so your using less product, and it should last for a good long while which is great for you and your money! The price of the foundation is around £29 I believe, I think this is quite a reasonable price for a high-end foundation, compared to my beloved By Terry Cover Expert which is about £45 so your (or should I say I...

PRODUCT REVIEW - CHARLOTTE TILBURY THE RETOUCHER CONCEALER

Image
I've heard a lot of great stuff about this and wanted to get it for the purpose of adding light to the dark circles under my eye area.  The product itself comes in a handy wind-up pen, that when you twist the bottom the product come out the brush and you just swipe it on to the skin, very quick and easy. The product is quite thick in consistnacy but it givesgreat coverage which is what you look for in a concealer.   As you can see to the right of the 'blob' I have applied the product and it does look more glowy and alive than the rest of the skin on my hand. I'm really enjoying using this product right now. It's not overly thick in consistancy so it's easy to work it into the skin which I like in a concealer.
