Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze:
I talked about this cream eye shadow in my first post. It is a gorgeous colour and perfect for everyday wear. On lazy days I chuck a bit on and blend it out for a quick eye shadow. The colour is so gorgeous it is enough on its own although it makes a good base too. It is perfect for making blue eyes pop- someone asked me if I was wearing blue contact when I wore this! This used to not smudge or crease on me but about a month a go before my eye lids became extremely oily. On its own it does last longer than a normal eye shadow before creasing or fading but to make it last all day I have to use primer potion.
Single shadow from MUA Heaven and Earth Palette:
Annoyingly none of the individual MUA eye shadows have names. This is a light champagne colour that is perfect for all over the lid with a couple of darker colours blended into the crease. For a £4 palette this is great but it doesn't match up to any of the high end eye shadows. I've now gotten the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette so this is getting neglected.
Urban Decay Ink For Eyes in Zero:
This was my first gel eye liner. It's very well pigmented and the creamy smooth texture means it applies like a dream. However I never put this the waterline because that would result in serious panda eyes in a matter of hours. I have oily eyelids so I always make sure to apply primer potion before eye make up but when my eye lids weren't oily it stayed put fine alone.
Korres Jasmine Lip Butter:
You know when you were little and everyone only used the middle of the lip balm so they'd hit the bottom faster? I still do that. I was lucky enough to win this in a give away from Anna who has such a lovely blog. It is my favourite lip product and definitely worth the blogging hype! It has a luxurious creamy texture and a gorgeous sweet smell. I've already ordered a mango one as a back up for when this runs out. This is the first time I've bought something as back up so I must really like it.
Mac Cream Colour in Pearl:
I use this every single day I wear make up to give a lovely dewy highlight. Perfect for brightening up dull winter skin! The disadvantage of this is it does get used up quite quickly but that could just be because I like to apply it heavily. A small amount creates a natural finish but it is build able to give a stronger highlight. I'm thinking of trying Mac mineralize skin finish in soft and gentle when it is done because it is so raved about by bloggers.
Have you tried any of these products?
If I hit pan on stuff I get pretty excited too. I know from experience that I'm really close to hitting pan on my beloved Hervana and even though I intend to use it up for my Project 10 Pan I will be gutted when I do as it's my favourite blush ever!!

I'm always happy to hit pan on things but then I get sad too because it means there isn't much left. We are in the same boat! The project 10 pan series on your blog is really good x
DeleteAww thank you :) I needed to take some drastic action on my makeup stash before I could allow myself to buy any new products!!x
DeleteI love that maybelline color tattoo, it's one of my favourites too :)

I'm close to having 3 things for back to Mac now. Can't wait! Thanks for nominating me x
DeleteI haven't tried any of these products but I think it's really good when you do see the bottom of a product. It means that the product is obviously good as you're using it very often :)
ReplyDeleteI do get a bit upset when it's an expensive product though, it means you'll have to pay out again soon.
You've been tagged in my most recent post, Tag You're It! :)

That's why I did this post so you can see the products I love :) x
DeleteIve been wanting the bronze colour tattoo since it came out, ive got the rest of them but they never have any of these in stock when I go shopping :( its going to be first item in my basket when I do my next online shop x
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame! I'm going to include it in a giveaway soon so keep an eye out x
DeleteI love Korres lip butters, you should try Pomegranate!! xx
ReplyDeleteI want to try every flavour! Pomegranate does sound good x
DeleteI hate hitting the pan just in the middle so I am always super careful of how I use the product, I never just use the middle! I have swirling techniques and everything!
ReplyDeleteHaha that's so odd! x
DeleteWow you're doing well, i never hit the pan: I'm like TarteAuxFraises, I'm careful not to just use the middle of the product! I absolutely adore the MUA pallettes but it's interesting that you find high-end products much more impressive. I guess I can't really comment as I am yet to try any of the Urban Decay eyeshadows (I know)! xx

I think high end products are better than MUA but MUA is still amazing considering how cheap it is x
DeleteI' m proud if I hit the pan of a product. It shows how much I love it. I brought bronze on bonze for a week and the colour is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am too at first. That eyeshadow is one of my favourite colours x
