Vanilla Pigment

I was looking through my pigment collection and I decided that this one needed a post dedicated to it and all its greatness.
I'm talking about vanilla pigment.

This pigment is just so versatile, it can be used in so many different ways.

I use mine as an eyeshadow, as my highlight or with other eyeshadows to create a look. I also like to use this on the inner corner to highlight that area and make me look more awake.

I like to use this pigment mixed with my moisturizer or foundation to create a subtle healthy glow.

I also like to use this as a highlight dusted over my cheeks, down the bridge of my nose, on my brow bone and on my cupids bow

Here's a swatch

This absolutely beautiful pigment looks white in the pot but when it is swatched, it turns into a really nice, wearable gold colour.

This is a must for your collection. 

I highly recommend x

Sugarpill Goldilux Pigment

I purchased this pigment on the internet, only seeing swatches online and on other blogs.
It is so much prettier than I expected and it has fast turned into one of my favourites.

 

Its a beautiful true gold pigment and its ultra shimmery too

I use this whenever I want an intense, metallic sheen to the lid.

This looks amazing with matte chocolate brown shades to compliment this colour or even black for a very intense look. I also use this on the inner corner or my lower lash line for nice sheen to eye.

Here's a swatch....

This picture doesn't do the pigment justice and I strongly recommend checking this out in person x

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer

Soap and Glory have recently launched their new make up line and I decided to check it out since I love their line of toiletries.
I had my eye on the concealer after I checked it out in Boots and seen good reviews online and I decided to purchase.

It comes with two shades of concealer, a powder to set it and a handy mirror in the lid

The left side is a peachy toned corrector and the right side is a skin tone concealer. 

The concealer itself is very creamy and is just the right consistency. Not too thick and not too light either.

The only downfall to this product is the colour range. It only comes in light and medium so there's not a shade for darker skin tones. I have light-medium skin tone (MAC NC35) so the light shade is slightly too light for me and the medium shade is way too dark. The powder that comes with the concealer is very good and applies well. since it is a translucent powder it will suit and skin tone.

Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer

I decided to treat myself to the Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder and I am so impressed.
It is by far the best bronzer I have ever used,
I have tried bronzers by M.A.C, Dior and Clinique and this is my favourite.

It has a hefty price tag at £33.50 but it is definitely worth the money.

I chose the colour 02

It has such a beautiful tone to it and is not too orange. I am a medium skin tone and I think this is just perfect for my skin tone and it smells pretty good too.

The packaging is just gorgeous too and I love bringing this out of my make-up bag and showing it off :)

Sigma F82 Round Kabuki Brush

Well what can I say about this brush?
Pure perfection.....

I was a bit hesitant purchasing this brush because I am so used to M.A.C brushes which cost a lot more.

This brush cost me £13.99 and I am absolutely amazed with the results. After I used this brush for the first time I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror. My skin looked airbrushed and seamless with no streaks.

The bristles are full and tightly packed

The actual brush is quite small and can blend into hard to reach areas such as around the nose.

I usually use my hands to apply foundation as I like a natural finish but since buying this brush I have been using it every day as I love the results. I can apply a full face of foundation with this brush in very little time.

I am in love with this brush and I think its an essential tool for your kit while being affordable x

Sleek Ultra Mattes Palette

New Sleek Palettes!!

I went into my local Superdrug this morning and to my surprise I found the new Sleek palettes out.
After swatching the dark palette I knew I had to get it.

There was one other palette called brights but I decided to pass on that one since I like my bright eyeshadows to be a little more shimmery and with a bit more dimension.

I've been waiting for Sleek to come out with some more matte shades since they are known for their extra shimmery shadows in previous palettes. So when I saw this one I could not resist.

Here they are swatched on my hand.

I will be using these in the crease of my eye and on the outer corner when I am using a more shimmery eyeshadow on the middle of the lid.

Overall, I think this is a beautiful palette and I think anyone would get a lot of use out of it.

Go get it! x

M.A.C Whisper of Gilt Skinfinish

I had my eyes on the new skinfinishes that M.A.C were bringing out with their new Extra Dimension collection. I was very upset to find that they had sold out by the time I got to purchase one.
I have since had the chance to get my hands on my favourite one, Whisper of Gilt.
And I must say it is absolutely beautiful.

These are unlike the mineralize skinfinishes and the texture is more creamy and smooth.

Even though this is a powder, it goes on like a cream and adds a beautiful sheen to the skin.

I like to use this with a brush or my finger to highlight my cheekbones, middle of my nose and cupids bow.

You could also try using this as an eyeshadow or on the collarbone for a radiant look.

The possibilities are endless x
