Weekly Make Up Bag #7

There was no way after receiving a Colourpop mini haul in the post, that I'd be able to resist using it straight away, so I admit that I dumped last week's palette on Saturday to start playing with my new Colourpop 'I Think I Love You' palette!
 
 
So here's this week's choice.
A lot of new items, some old faithfuls and things that need using up.
 
* Foundation - Old - L'Oreal True Match - I've kept this in the bag for a second week as it was really working well with my skin last week.
* Concealer - Old - Inglot - This seems to be never-ending and I really need to use it up!
* Powder - Old/Fave - L'Oreal True Match - I didn't get on too well with the MUA loose powder last week - I think I'll stick with pressed powders in the future.
* Contour - Old/Fave - Makeup Revolution Contour Palette - Looks like I'll soon be hitting pan on my most-used contour shade (bottom row, second left).
* Blush - New - Nars Isadora - I bought this special edition Sarah Moon Nars blush on eBay last week and I'm already in love with it.
* Highlighter - New - Elf 'Moonlight Pearls' - Bought this in the January sale and hadn't opened or tried it. It's a really nice subtle shimmer.
* Mascara - Old/Fave - L'Oreal Paradise Extatic - These feels like it may be on the way out.
* Eye Shadows - New - Colourpop 'I Think I Love You' palette and Colourpop pressed shadows in 'paper Crane' and 'Tea Garden'.
There's a little bit of fall-out with the palette, but the mattes are so buttery and the shimmers are richly pigmented -  I love every single shade.

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
