Weekly Makeup Bag #22

I had such a difficult week with my foundation last week! Even the Erborian BB crème au Ginseng left me feeling quite greasy - so it went from one level to another with the scaly cake-iness of The Ordinary Colours foundation to the overly slippy Erborian! Which I couldn't quite work out as the Erborian felt quite matte when applied but didn't take long to make me look shiny and oily.
Here's hoping this week's foundation choice is more successful!
 

* Primer - Pixi by Petra Flawless & Poreless Primer
* Foundation - L'Oreal True Match
* Undereye Concealer (not pictured) - Inglot - This has got to be used up this week. I'm getting bored now!
* Powder - TonyMoly Cat's Wink
* Highlighter - E.L.F - Baked highlighter in 'Moonlight Pearls'
* Bronzer - E.L.F - Sunk Kissed Glow Bronzer - I actually didn't reach for this at all last week so I'm keeping it in for this week.
* Blusher - Hourglass - Ambient Lighting Blush in 'Luminous Flush'
* Contour (not pictured) - Makeup Revolution Contour Palette
* Eyeshadow Palette - Lorac Mega Pro 3 - Was so excited to get my hands on this again (haven't used since January!!). It's perhaps my favourite palette - although it's also my grubbiest palette. See swatches below.
* Mascara - Pur - Fully Charged Mascara
* Lipstick - Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour in 'Be My Baby'.
 
 
 
Lorac Mega Pro 3 Swatches

My favourite eyeshadow palette. The shade range in this palette is unbeatable - I love that there are two rows of mattes and two rows of shimmers. The shadows are highly pigmented, buttery and long-lasting, although a couple can be a tiny bit chalky.
 
Top Row
 
 
From top to bottom:
Dark Navy/Eggplant/Violet Gray/Dusty Mauve/Walnut/Pecan/Tan/Pink Cream
 
Just look at these gorgeous matte shades! You could probably just use this top row on it's own for a week without feeling too hard done by.

2nd Row
 
From top to bottom:
Jet Black/Bark/Maple/Hickory/Vintage/Mist/Toffee/Crepe
 
Another row of matte shades. I often use the top shade 'Jet Black' as a tight-liner - you don't even need to wet your brush to get a deep and even black.
 
3rd Row
 
 
From top to bottom:
Deep Fog/Glacier/Sequoia/Brown Sugar/Bellini/Cider/Cava/Snow
 
I think this is my favourite row of shimmer and metallic shades.
 
Bottom Row
 
 
From top to bottom:
Licorice/Pomegranate/Dark Roast/Olive/Rose Quartz/ Rust/ Pink Bronze/Tulle
 
Or maybe this is my favourite row!

Review: Terre Verdi - Orange Coffee Cleansing Mask

Image
Terre Verdi - Orange Coffee Cleansing Mask £26 for 50g * This item was a PR Sample given to me in return for an honest review. What is it? A clay powder cleansing mask to rejuvenate and purify the skin. Organic coffee and cocoa are anti-inflammatory, de-toxifying and full of antioxidants. How to use Mix a small amount of the clay mask with floral water (I also like to add a drop of Terre Verdi's FranChouliPom serum into the mix) and mix to a soft paste. The end results looks like a creamy but thick Cafe Latte! Ingredients Moroccan lava (Ghassoul) clay, kaolin clay, zea mays (corn) starch*, coffea arabica seed (ground coffee)*, theobroma cacao (cocoa) powder*, tocopherol (vitamin E), citrus sinensis (sweet orange) peel oil*, citral**, limonene**, linalool** * denotes organic ingredient ** occurring naturally in essential oils Thoughts First thought? Oh wow! That scent! This is beyond doubt the most deliciously scented face mask I have EVER had the joy to try! It'...

Alternatives to The Ordinary Products - Niacinamide

Image
If you're an Instagram user then it will have been nigh on impossible for you not to have noticed all the drama surrounding Deciem CEO Brandon Truaxe's bizarre Instagram posts. It all seemed to kick off quite quickly ( I won't go into it too much here) with him posting, at first, passive posts where everything was 'peaceful and loving' and quickly degenerated into pretty hateful comments directed at other users who questioned his behaviour. He even started to highlight certain comments he'd made on his Instagram stories, where he seemed quite pleased with his snarky, and sometimes downright abusive replies to certain comments. It was uncomfortable viewing from the off - but then it became so bad that for me personally, I could no longer try and turn a blind eye to the way he made the whole Deciem brand feel pretty toxic. I'm guessing I tried to ignore it for a while as I was a great fan of most Deciem products - particularly those from The Ordinary br...

Bielenda - Dr Medica Capillaries Serum Review

Image
  Bielenda Dr Medica Capillaries Serum - 30 ml for £4.99 BUY HERE     Earlier this year I noticed that I appeared to have quite a few broken capillaries - particularly on my nose but also some on my cheeks and chin.   A quick google for treatment and skincare products for broken capillaries and the Bielenda Dr Medica Capillaries serum looked most favourable (and best value!).    I was pretty happy to find out about Bielenda products through this serum - they have a huge range of skin and bodycare products with some fantastic ingredients. The Bielenda Professional range is particularly exciting! I buy my Bielenda products from Clamanti  - there are actually more products in this Capillaries range including micellar water and capillaries cream. Ingredients that help with Redness - Broken Capillaries, Rosacea, Sensitive Red Skin There are so many products on the market that can address redness - here are some of the natural ingredi...
