Weekly Makeup Bag #39

Fairly simple picks this week. A couple of Model's Own products, one of my favourite Blushers and a brand new iconic mascara!

* E.L.F Under Eye Primer
* Missha Brightening Under Eye Concealer
* Foundation - Models Own Runway Foundation in 'Natural Ivory' - Finally, a foundation that actually matches my skin tone! I'd forgotten that this is really not a bad little foundation. Medium coverage - doesn't patch or cake - lasts for a good few hours too.
 * Contour  Illamasqua Gel Sculpt Contour
* Highlighter - Models Own Sculpt and Glow Highlighter Stick in 'Moonlight' - This cream stick highlighter can be a little cakey and difficult to blend, but I like the colour so I'm keeping hold of it!
* Blusher - Kiko Green Me in 'Coral View' - I've come to the conclusion that after Nars, my favourite blushers all come from Kiko! 

 
* Mascara - Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara - New to me this week. I made a post about my first impressions here.
 
 
* Eye Shadow Palettes
I Heart Revolution - Mint Chocolate Palette - I'd forgotten what the shades actually looked like in this palette but fell in love all over again after opening it. I don't usually pick green shades, but these are pretty gorgeous.
NYX - Lid Lingerie - Such a great everyday nudes palette.
 
 De-cluttered from last week
 
 
Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro Palette - I know I said last week that I was on the fence about this one and would keep it around for a bit. Well, after a week of totally unsatisfying eye looks, I've decided to de-clutter it after all. I have too many nicer palettes that I'm waiting to use to hold on to ones that just don't do the job for me.

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...
