On the blog I published yesterday, I forgot to include my Mascara. Also, in my first blog I mentioned that I was going to review the makeup I used in "Get Ready With Me" in four parts. However, I will review the rest of them now to wrap it all up!
Here's the links related to this blog, just in case you missed them.
Benefit, They're Real Mascara - I have to say, this mascara is not great at all. It's supposed to be a waterproof mascara but nah. Everytime I have used this it smudged and was lumpy. Before I knew it there was mascara underneath my eyes, the particles also got into my eyes and irritated them. I tried to like it, and used most of it, because dang, it's not cheap at all. So wasting it is the last option. So I do tend to use it now and then. Maybe it's time to chuck it out though, because last time it really irritated my eyes and did my head in.
NARS, Laguna Bronzer is one of my favourite bronzers. Just the perfect shade for my skin tone, olive. It creates a natural shadow on top of my forehead, the hollow of my cheeks and jawline; it even emphasises my nose. I just love it! It's one of my Holy Grail of makeup products. Even, though I do have Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette, I always go back to my Laguna Bronzer. I just can't get enough of it. It's just brilliant!
FACT: This bronzer is 6 years old.. Yup, I know..
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact, Bronze - One of my Scottish friends who introduced this makeup to me when we were shopping in Glasgow long time ago. At first, I was having a doubt of this makeup because of the shade. It is bronze, I'm olive and I don't see the point. But that time I was clueless and no knowledge about makeup and whatsoever. So the lady in the counter applied this on my cheeks to try, and I ended up buying it, I don't know how. I regretted it, because it was expensive and thought I don't need it.
Years passed, I become addicted to makeup and this shimmer brick became very useful. It creates a natural glow, and t's actually perfect for olive to dark skin tone. It seamless but when it hits the sun, tada..! I use this as bronzy blush and it looks flawless, even as highlighter. I love it! It was a new discovery for me then and I highly recommend it!
Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder, Pink Peony - I bought this one as a contribution to breast cancer awareness five years ago, I know its old, tell me about it. It also came with a bobbi brown brush and it's so cute! But personally, I think this bronzing powder would be brilliant on pale skin, as for my skin tone, you can't see much of the shade, just a hint. It's perfect when I'm out and about during the day as it isn't a strong colour. I rarely use this, there is nothing special about this at all. So don't waste your pennies on this, unless it's for a good cause.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector, Champagne Pop - It's just one the best highlighters ever! Very pigmented and lasts all night long. Great for occasional makeup, day makeup, night time makeup, you name it! I don't have any negative thoughts about this one at all. Highly, highly recommend it! From pale skin to dark skin, it works! I apply this to emphasise my brows, on top of my cheeks and most importantly to enhance the bridge of my nose. It's just brill! Talking about this makes me excited!
Kylie Cosmetics Lip Liner, Mary Jo K - Sometimes I use this on its own as a lipstick. It's Matte, and it's very soft and easy to apply. The colour is spot on for my lips. It can be dehydrating on your lips, maybe because it's a matte finish. What I normally do is, I put a lip balm on top of it and you are good to go. Your lips are looking hydrated!
When I go for a night out, I use this to emphasise my lips, make my lips bigger; then I put Kylie Lip Gloss on top, and it works great! My lips are looking plump!
Last but not the least, Tanya Burr Lip Gloss, Pink Fondant. It is a nude tone. In the video, that was the first time I tried this. I applied it on top of Kylie's lip liner, just to tone down the lip liner a little bit. I was out in the early morning that day and I didnt want my lips looking too bold. This lip gloss is very hydrating and it smells good, like candy. I wouldn't say it is long wearing but it does the job. That's all I can say about this product.
