MUA Heaven and Earth Palette

I finally found this palette after searching high and low for it....
I walked into a superdrug in Camden and it was in stock.
For £4 it was a bargain.

This palette is filled with neutral shades but unfortunately none of them are matte so I find that I cant do a complete eye look with this, since I like to use a matte eyeshadow or two when using all shimmer.

I love using the colours in this palette and there's 3 beautiful highlight colours in there.

These eyeshadows don't have the best staying power so I think i'm going to keep it as part of my kit.

M.A.C Tan Pigment

I've had my eye on Tan Pigment for a while and I couldn't resist.....

I picked it up on recent visit to M.A.C and it is beautiful. I used it the other day as a wash of colour all over the lid with Nylon as my highlight and winged eyeliner.
Its a very versatile pigment. You can wear it alone on the lid or with 2 or 3 eyeshadows and maybe even with a bright coloured eyeliner on the lower lashline for a nice pop of colour.

Here it is swatched on my hand....

Maybelline 24hour Color Tattoo

They're finally here!!

So, you may already know about the new Maybelline 24 hour Color Tattoos.
These launched first in the U.S and have now landed in the U.K
I went to my local Superdrug today to have a play with these. Unfortunately most of the colours were sold out but I did manage to get my hands on this beautiful colour called Permanent Taupe

As the name suggests it is a taupe colour. It is very creamy in texture and dries down to a completely matte finish. These retail at £4.99
Here it is swatched on my hand

Some say that these are comparable to the M.A.C Paint Pots. I personally feel that the consistency is similar to the Paint Pots but they dry down a lot more, whereas the paint pots dry to as a more cream to powder finish

I think this colour will go great with Satin Taupe eyeshadow by M.A.C and other grey and plum toned eyeshadows or even by itself. I have not tested if they last 24 hours like it claim but I will keep you posted!

Overall I think that these cream eyeshadows are great bases and I cant wait to try new colours when they are back in stock

M.AC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

This is one of my favourite powders which I use for setting my foundation and sometimes I use it alone when I want some coverage but I dont want to wear liquid foundation.
Since the powder is so sheer I dont feel like I'm caking my face with make up when I set my liquid foundation with it

I usually use a Kabuki brush to buff the powder into my skin for a flawless natural finish. 

I use the medium shade. 

The only downfall to this product is that it doesnt have a mirror so I have to take a separate one in my make up bag but other than that, in my opinion it is perfect

I cant live without this product x

M.A.C says:  A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day

M.A.C Fleur Power Blush

So I decide to write a post about one of my favourite blushes EVER!
Fleur Power......

I picked this up on a whim at my local M.A.C store.

I was looking for a pinky blush to it to lift my complexion during the winter months when I felt that my skin was looking a bit dull. Then I found Fleur Power.

This is a beautiful satin finish blush with some coral tones to it which will see me through spring too. Its quite a sheer blush but can come come across as quite heavy if you're too heavy handed, especially if you have a fair to medium complexion like me.

Here it is swatched on my hand

My camera isn't giving this blush the justice that it deserves. In real life it is a beautiful coral pink colour with no shimmer to it.

In my opinion this is a must have x

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
