Weekly Makeup Bag #49

It's my birthday this week but if you're expecting to see exciting party-pick makeup choices, there'll be no sparkle, glitter and pizazz here! Just my usual makeup routine. However, I've never made too much distinction between night and day looks. If I want to wear a heavy smoky eye in the day, then I will, because I can!

 
* Foundation - IT Cosmetics CC Cream - Haven't used this for a while and I forgot how amazing it is! Moderate cover, but it really does make your skin look healthy.
* Under eye primer - E.L.F (not pictured)
* Under eye concealer - Maybelline Age Rewind
* Powder - TonyMoly Cats Wink Compact (not pictured)
* Highlighter - Nars Copacabana Cream Highlighting Stick - This has turned into a real mess. There's hardly any evidence of 'stick' about this any more. It's turned into a wobbly stack of putty. If I hadn't chosen this as one of my 20/20 Vision Project products, I may have been tempted to de-clutter this. It's a fairly subtle highlighter, but because it's in a cream form, it can be a bit cakey on my skin.
* Blusher - Kiko Milano - Metal Fusion
* Mascara - Ciate Wonderwand

 
* Eyeshadow Palette - I Heart Makeup/Revolution - Chocolate Vice Chocolate Bar Palette
This is only my second use of this palette this year! It's a great versatile palette, but I'm not enjoying it as much as the Pink Fizz Chocolate Bar palette that I picked last week.
 
 
 
* Contour - Makeup Revolution Contour Palette - This is the only contour product that I currently own and I'm more than happy with it and pretty pleased that I managed to whittle down that part of my makeup stash to one product. I hardly use the top row, so not sure if I'll attempt to pan the whole palette, but the contour and baked bronzer pans are great.

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...
