Weekly Makeup Bag #32

It's with great reluctance that I pop my new Revolution Reloaded Velvet Rose palette back into the palette draw!
What an amazing palette - such pretty shades and I was never stumped for a different look to create over the past seven days - I could have done more too, which made me think that I might even keep this in the weekly makeup bag for a second week running - but I absolutely need to share my time between the huge number of eye shadows that I have - and this week it's time for the singles to make an appearance.

This isn't the jazziest of picks - this feels like a week where I might be making some decisions about more de-cluttering.

 
* Vita Liberata Self-Tanning Serum
* Nars - All day Luminous Foundation sample in 'Mont Blanc'
* E.L.F Under Eye Primer
* Maybelline Age Rewind Under Eye Concelaer
* Ilamasqua - Gel Sculpt Contour
* Revolution Gradient Highlighter in 'Rose Quartz Light' (worn as a blush)
* Physician's Formula - PH Matchmaker Bronzer in 'Light Bronze'
* Nars - Copacabana Cream Highlighting Stick
* Benefit - Roller Lash Mascara (mini)
* BBB - Brow Build Gel (mini)
 
 
Eyes
* Laura Geller Crème Glaze Trio in 'Sandy Lagoon' - This was chosen to decide whether or not to de-clutter it and I wore it today and was able to make an instant decision to de-clutter. It's far too shiny and glittery for me and it also didn't last for too long on the lids before sliding about and creasing.
* Kiko Milano - Bright Duo Baked Eyeshadow - This is another possible de-clutter. You can't really make it out in the photo, but it's a shimmery black and shimmery pale lilac - when mixed together they make a fantastic cosmic holographic shimmer which looks great when swatched, but not so good on my eyes!
* Kiko Milano - Water Shadow - Pink and Gold flip. Absolutely love these water shadows - just don't wear them enough because of my choice to rotate my eye shadows.
* Colourpop - Pressed Powder Shadow in 'Paper Crane' and 'Tea Garden'. Super Shadow in 'Bae'.
* By Terry - Ombre Blackstar Cream Eye Shadow
 
Lips
 
 
* Primark - Bronze Lips Gloss Metals  - I picked up a couple of these gloss metals for just £1 each last week. They are surprisingly good! They smell delicious (of coconut) and are intensely pigmented and reasonably long wearing. I picked up a peach/gold and a brown/gold. I'm not usually a fan of lip gloss but these are great - although I have been blotting them too lessen the gloss (as I don't like that feeling on my lips!). My only issue with these is that they are so shiny and pigmented that I feel that they are a bit 'too much' for my comfort zone!
* INC.redible - Glazin Over Intense Colour Lip Glaze in 'Vibes Tribe' This came in my Look Fantastic Beauty Box last week. Again, not a huge fan of glosses, so it's not one that I would have picked out for myself but it's a nice bold red so I'm happy to give it a try.
* E.L.F - Lip Balm Tint in 'Peach' This is one of my 20/20 Vision Project Pan items so I want to make sure I get a lot of use out of this.
* Primark - Colour Intensity Lipstick in 'Dark Pink' Unlike the two Bronze Lips Glosses from Primark, this lipstick doesn't smell or taste nice. But I like the colour enough to tolerate the smell and taste - for the time being!
* Bagsy - Wow Lips - This is going to be in every single weekly makeup bag till I finish it off as part of my 20/20 Vision Project Pan.
* Gosh - Matt in 'Smoothie'

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&

TonyMoly ~ The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream Review

Image
TonyMoly  ~The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream   I'm coming to the end of this pot of pore gel cream which I have been using everyday, both morning and evening since I opened it nearly two months ago. But typically, there seems to be very little information about this online and it doesn't seem to be readily stocked and easy to buy!   I picked this up from T.K Maxx, which could explain why it doesn't seem like a popular product online (and I mean popular in readily available) as it was possibly an end of line product, hence the reason why it ended up in T.K Maxx.   The product   The Fresh Phytoncide pore cream gel is a lightweight gel cream in the same vein as the water/aqua gels. It contains 100% pure Hinoki Cypress Water instead of distilled water. The cream is suited for oily/combination skin and acne troubled skin and enlarged pores.   Ingredients The writing on the pot is all in Korean but I found a list of ingredients on the CosDNA site.
