As fall comes around I think it's time to have a little shake up of the old make up bag!
So there's a few new items & a few return items in there this month.
By return items I mean products I've had a while that I've just rediscovered. I mean who doesn't love a good re-discovery!
I actually haven't been buying much make up as of late, especially as it's getting to that expensive time of year (Christmas is coming). So something I try to do quite regularly is empty my make up bag & select some different items of make up I haven't used for a while.
That way you actually get the use out of most of your make up!
So onto the items...
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette is a good old favourite of mine. When I first got it I was OBSESSED with it for ages, as it was my first Naked palette! I think at this time of year it's nice to break out the warmer rose gold/ copper eyeshadow shades. Which is the whole concept of this palette!
Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat, now that's a mouthful. However it is worth it, as this product is definitely one you want on your radar! I have recently been having gel polish put on my nails, however when I'm doing my own nails this is my go to top coat. It gives me twice as much wear time with any nail polish. This nail polish formula is great too!
Benefit They're Real Eyeliner is ones I've just getting into. I'm still not totally into eyeliner, however I find this one really easy to use for someone lazy & out of practice like myself. It also wears for a very long time. My only issue is it's a little hard to remove.
MAC Lipstick in Hot Gossip, this was the first ever MAC lipstick that I purchased & it hasn't been doing much for a while. I must say though, I still love it! It's a really nice pinky nude shade, which works perfectly with my pale skin tone. I just really hope them don't ever remove this shade!
Benefit are always on it at this time of year with their gift sets & this year I was lucky enough to get one for my birthday!
The one I got was 'Real Cheeky Party', which is very similar to one they released last year which I missed out on.
This kit comes with 4 blushes, a bronzer, a cream highlighter, a gel eyeliner & a mascara.
The sizes of these products, especially the powders, are amazing value for money. This set is great if you're interested in Benefits top products but don't fancy using all of your money on them!
Some of these products I already own & love, which is always a nice place to start.
I've since tried out all of the other products & like them all. The product I'm less keen on is the Watts Up highlighter, as I find it a little gold for my skin tone sometimes.
Overall I think this kit is a great gift to anyone who's into make up. I also think it's probably one of the best value for money kits from their collection this year.
Hi guys! The product I'll be reviewing today on my blog is this:
It's Me Me Me's Eye Line pencil in Clay.
I actually got this product in a Glossybox a while ago, I don't think Me Me Me is a very readily available brand in the UK. Not to my knowledge anyway.
Firstly I think the packaging looks really nice for a pencil eyeliner, the matte finish makes it feel & look at my more high end to me.
The product itself is one of those pencils that you have to sharpen which I find a bit of a pain, because let's face it whenever you need a sharpener you can never find one! Am I right?
But never the less I do like the product so I can live with that.
The reason I like the product is that it's a nice soft pencil, the formula actually has some different oils in it which I think helps. It glides on the eyes nicely, instead of tugging (which I hate, as I have very sensitive eyes). This eyeliner also doesn't sting my eyes when I use in on my waterline, which I've experienced in the past with other eyeliners. So to me this is quite a little winner really!
Above is a little swatch of the eyeliner so you can see the colour.
It can also be smudged out very easily due to its soft texture.
I might be late to the party but oh well! I always am aren't I? Haha!
This is the Urban Decay Naked on the Run palette!
I really wanted this product when I first heard it had been released but I hung fire as Christmas was coming and I had a feeling someone was going to get it for me.
Which they so kindly did!
This kind of palette is awesome, because it's basically a whole face of make up (excluding your base) in one convenient product!
I'm sure this was a holiday limited edition product, but they might still be available somewhere & I would recommend picking one up if you see one.
