Weekly Makeup Bag #30

Last week was so bloody hot that I really didn't want to wear much makeup and quite frankly, when I did, it looked very over the top!
So this week, even though the weather is set to be a bit cooler, I'm sticking to the Erborian CC Cream as the only base I'll be wearing (if at all) and some under eye concealer.

 
* Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops
I've been adding these to my moisturiser just once or twice a week.
* Under-eyes - Model Co Instant Radiance Under Eye Concealer (not pictured) - wasn't sure how keen I was about this last week - the colour is slightly orange-y but when used with the E.L.F Under Eye Primer it actually worked really well.
* Face - Erborian CC Crème
* Contour - Illamasqua Gel Sculpt Contour (not pictured)
* Blusher - Nars Orgasm
* Mascara - Ciate Wonderwand
I'm loving this mini mascara and would consider buying a full size in the future.
* Eyes - Urban Decay Naked Heat
 
 
Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette
Lovely to have this on rotation again - it's the perfect summer eye shadow palette!
 
Lipstick Choices

 
It was quite a challenge to wear a lipstick every day last week but I managed it! This week I've chosen lip shades that will go with the Urban Decay Naked Heat colours.
From L-R: Revlon Terra Copper; L'Oreal - Nude Gold Obsession; Rimmel - Heather Shimmer; E.L.F - Nicely Nude
 
 
Model's Own - Holochrome Lipgloss
 
 
INC:redible - Jelly Shot in 'Ex Revenge' (seriously, what is up with some lipstick names??!!)
 
 
 
Not swatched INC:redible Jelly Shot - clear lip gloss. 

 
Last Week's De-clutters
 
 
I chose both of these lip tints for last week's lipstick choices to see which one I wanted to keep and ended up getting rid of both of them. They just make me look like the inside of my lips are stained - not a great look. Still, at least it takes the lipstick hoard down by two!

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
