SPACE NK HAUL

It's been a while since I bought any makeup - or anything to be totally honest. So one day I stumbled across a Space NK just to get a restock of the Nars concealer and come back with an extra makeup tool. I also signed up for their rewards card which is cool.

If you want to read a full detailed review on this concealer click here. Shade: Light1 Chantilly.

Long story short, favourite concealer and an upgrade from my old favourite Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. (I want to do a post comparing both of these concealers so let me know if you'd like to see that). I love how this concealer brightens under my eyes and blends seamlessly, it's quite a thick texture but not too thick so it doesn't look cakey and textured at all (well to an extent, if you put loads of layers on then obviously..).

...And I also got the original Beauty Blender. This has changed my makeup game if i say so myself. The £18 i paid for this is totally worth it I'm telling you. It's the most softest and squishy beauty blender ever. You can use this damp or dry, it works amazingly both ways it's just up to personal preferences. I always do dry application and occasionally I will use it damp. The pointy tip on this beauty blender eases the blending of concealer around the eyes without poking your eyes out - we've all been there. 

I would say that this is the most successful yet the most smallest purchase I've made in a while. These are my ultimate favourites as for now!

MY MAC COLLECTION

Personally, I love Mac and especially the lipsticks. I'm so happy that I finally have a 'Mac Collection' that I'm satisfied with for now. So here are the things that I have..

 

 

Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation:

This is a medium coverage mattifying powder where you can use it on it's own or on top of foundation for extra coverage and for a more matte look. This Powder is good for combination oily skin. Personally, and recommended by the makeup artists in Mac, you shouldn't reach for the sponge to apply the powder since it will be a cakey mess. However, you can still use it through out the day to blend out/take off makeup (if you get what I mean then that's great haha)

 

 Mac Testers:

In these pots I have a mixture of the Prolong wear testers and Studio Fix Foundation testers.

I honestly have to say that I hate the Pro Long Wear Concealer, I definitely think that the Collection Concealer is far more better!

However the Studio Fix Foundation, is amazing and when I run out of my current foundation, I'm going to have to buy it!

 

 

Lustre Finish Lipstick in 'Lustering'

Since the lipstick is quite sheer you can 'regulate' the amount you want. A small stroke gives a pretty pink sheen to your lips. When you put a little more, its more of a darker pink.

 

 

Matte Finish Lipstick in 'Velvet Teddy'
Velvet Teddy is an all-season shade, which makes it my go-to lipstick. It'll bless your lips with a beautiful vintage aesthetic, chic and casual. Try it, its great!

 

Sheertone Blush in 'Pinch o' Peach' {discontinued}

This blush just gives a touch of colour to your face and the best thing about it, is that it is a sheertone which means it suits a lot of skin tones (even the most palest because you can put the tiniest amount). It blends well and is buildable (photo). This blush was also kindly gifted by my friend for my birthday :)

 

Mineralize Skinfinsh Natural Powder in 'Light'
The name speaks for itself, this powder is the most natural. Yes. The most natural, I've yet come across. Not matte but not glowy, it's like real skin. You a tiny bit under your eyes to set concealer if you're avoiding any caking or texture (not cute). Then again, nothing's perfect so do take note: you'll need to touch up. This doesn't hold up as well, hot and long summer days will get you reapplying. On the bright side, it's not cakey - nobody wants that, right?

*These next two products are purchased recently at Duty Free which means they are a few % cheaper and also I'll be doing a Haul.. So expect to see more of these two products later on!

 

'Etcetera' Pro Longwear Lip Liner

Personally, this is my favourite lip liner of all! It stays put all day, and doesn't transfer on cups when worn alone. It's creamy which means it can be worn alone.

Also it is one of the lip liners for the 'Velvet Teddy' Lipstick! 

 

'Painterly' Pro Longwear Paint Pot
Yet again, the name speaks for itself, It is longwearing.. It does not crease or move around. This is a fleshy tone which means it is also good for blocking out any discolouration on the lids. Everyday staple!

 

Are there any Mac products you think I should try?



PRETTY IN PINK | LIPSTICKS

Products Mentioned:

 - Clinique Chubby Stick in 'Super Strawberry'

- Revlon ColorStay in 'Socialite'

- Mac Lustre in 'Lustering'

- Calvin Klein in 'Ethereal'

 

 

(L to R): Clinique Chubby Stick in 'Super Strawberry', Mac Lustre in 'Lustering', Calvin Klein in 'Ethereal', Revlon ColorStay in 'Socialite'

 

 

This is more of a lip balm rather than a lipstick meaning that its more sheer but buildable. It has a pretty deeper pink sheen to it which screams your lips but better. Perfect to chuck in you bag and just swipe it on.

 

 

This is also a 'light lipstick' because it is a Lustre finish, which means you can build up the colour or leave it shiny and gentle. I love how this lipstick just glides on smoothly.

 

As opposed to the other ones, this is more of a Barbie pink and it's so pigmented and glides on smoothly as well. The Calvin Klein makeup range has been discontinued a while ago but these

lipstick's are still available online for a small price of about £2/£3. Bargain!

 

This lipstick is like more of a darker nude pink and like the others it's just nice to apply however it does tend to have a sticky lipstick feel.
