Weekly Makeup Bag #29

Some of last week's makeup choices felt like they were bordering on 'duty' ov
er joy, so I really wanted to pep up my choices for this week!
Certainly picking eye shadow singles for last week felt quite boring and I have been re-considering some of my Colourpop Super Shock choices - several of them were 'how exactly am I supposed to wear this?' shades. It makes me realise that I much prefer a palette over singles - so this week, it's not one palette I've chosen but two - both of my build-your-own Obsession palettes are featured.
I enjoyed the 7 days - 7 lipsticks challenge I set myself and was excited to choose seven for this week too.
 
 
* Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - It's so hot this week that I don't think I'll be wearing much makeup - especially as I intend to be at the beach and swimming in the sea a lot. I've also added the Obsession Foundation Darkener to mix with this BB Cream, as it's too pale on its own for summer.
* Under-Eye Concealer - Model Co Instant Radiance
* E.L.F Under-Eye Primer - I've been loving this under-eye primer. On a good day, it's good enough to wear on its own as it has a brightening effect. But it's also made any under-eye concealer wear better without caking or settling into fine lines.
* Isle of Paradise - Self-Tanning Face Drops
* MUA - Matte Perfect Loose Powder
* Nars - Copacabana Cream Highlighting Stick
* Contour - I'll be using the contour pan from my Obsession palette.
* Blush/Bronzer - E.L.F 'Fiji' bronzer and blusher duo and also my Nars - Orgasm.
* Mascara - Ciate Wonderwand
 
* Eye Shadow Palette(s) - Obsession Makeup Build Your Own Palette


 
Lipsticks
* L'Oreal Matte Lip Paint in 'Babe In'.
* Pony Effect - Lip Tint
* Peripera Peri's Ink
* Nyx - 'Tea Rose'
* Tarte - Mini in 'Colada'
* Givenchy - Mini
* Bagsy - Wow Lips Chubby Crayon (keeping this in so I can use it up for my 20/20 Vision Project).
 
 
Swatches
 
 
I decided to add both of the lip tints/stains that I have this week because I don't think I've picked either of them up since I first got them! The Peripera Peri's Tint has already been de-cluttered after I tried it again. It seems to tint the inside of my lips and not so much on my lips - making me look like I've been eating a strawberry ice lolly! The Pony Effect red lip tint looks a bit richer, but I do remember that it was very bold on me and even though I do like a red lip - I'm not used to it!

Morning Skincare Routine - May

Image
  For the past few weeks I haven't been washing my face in the morning! I'm a great fan of the double-cleanse method, but then I read somewhere about not needing to double-cleanse in the morning if you double-cleanse at night. It was advised that you start your morning routine with the toner step, skipping out oil cleansers and foaming washes (or whatever double-cleansing products you use) altogether. Now it's not like I'd jump off a cliff if the internet told me to, but this made a bit of sense to me - why add more potentially drying/stripping/exfoliating products when there was no make-up to remove?   And this has worked out brilliantly well for me personally. I'd go so far as to say that I could currently change my skin status from combination/oily to NORMAL! I've noticed that by just toning in the morning, the oiliness on my face has calmed right down. And better still, I haven't had to blot in the day and very rarely use any type of powd

Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation ~ First Impressions

Image
  Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation £12.99 at Superdrug BUY HERE   I'd never heard of Flower Beauty before, let alone that it was a cruelty-free makeup range by Drew Barrymore. And I'll be honest, I bought it because I liked the look and sound of it! It took a while to get my hands on some too. Superdrug announced that they would be stocking the brand, although it must be available only in the bigger stores as it's not yet reached Norwich and I had to buy this online - completely without testing it first or even being sure about a colour match.   The shade I opted for, 'Nude', was unavailable for ages online but as soon as I got the notification email that it was back in stock, I ordered right away.   I'm not generally keen on buying foundations online without having first at least gotten a colour match - usually, this spells disaster and a product that I end up discarding quite quickly. But I struck gold with choosing the 'Nude&

Thyme Out Review

Image
    Thyme Out - £18.00 for 200ml plus Mini Thyme-To-Go Refillable Spray BUY HERE   I first saw mention of this interesting tincture (love that word!) a couple of months ago on the Victoria Health online Newsletter. Initially, I was thinking about it in terms of a skincare product - a 100% organic natural repairing lotion. But so far, it's been used for so many more purposes. In fact, I think I can safely say that this has been a summer essential for all the family, and hasn't been confined to the skincare shelf at all.   What is it?   Thyme Out is a water-based tincture where the Thyme has been steeped for weeks to draw out all of it's healing properties. The ingredients are all natural and very simple - just organic thyme, purified water, organic grain alcohol, and organic aloe vera.   What does it do? Whilst the ingredients are simple, the list of ailments that Thyme Out can help with certainly is not!   Skin Soothing and Healing   Helps
