New Make-up Obsession
Sunday, November 30, 2014
Hey Friends!
I'm trying really hard to keep my post frequent but it's proving to be quite hard however I have some awesome stuff coming.
I have recently found a new love for make-up. Ever since I was spoilt with a couple MAC products, I have started experimenting with different brands and brushes and lipsticks. I have decided to show you what I've discovered and what I think about them.
I have organised all my make-up in different places and orders and my brushes in a tin pot that sits on my dressing table.
I have a multitude of brushes, from drugstores, from MAC and from department stores. My three newest ones are from RedSquare which in South Africa is part of Edgars. If you live somewhere else, check out your favourite Drugstore for soft brushes.
Okay, so I know my make-up draw looks like a mess but everything has a place and I plan on getting a new dressing table in the next couple months.
Starting off with brushes. I got 3 new ones.
One is a little concealer brush, for those pesky spots.

This is a lipstick brush to make my red lips extra bullet proof. Check out Lisa Eldridge for that tutorial.

This is crease brush. This is really useful for smokey eyes and getting pretty colours in your crease. These need to be really fluffy!
Next I went to my favourite drugstore and picked up some foundation and concealer. I really like the Revlon colorstay collection. It stays well and the only thing is you need powder over it to keep from being oily.
After this I was spoiled with bronzing powder from The Body Shop. This sets my make-up and adds some colour to my face. My shade is in Fair Matte.

New eye shadows were both drugstore purchases which are really good. One was a Revlon colorstay Palette that is for a purple smokey eye.
This palette is called Precocious or 510. I want to use this with beautiful berry lipstick.

My other eye shadow is a NYX single eye shadow. I use this as a second colour to create a gold/brown smokey eye. This shade is in Root Beer.

I'm unable to find this shade but there are many similar options.
Onto eye liner and mascara. Lancôme were very kind to give me a gift with purchase and I received a khol eye liner in shade 01 noir. This is a very nice pencil eye liner, brilliant for smudging and super soft to apply.

Another gift from Lancôme was a mascara. It is called Hypnôse Doll eyes and has an awesome applicator. This is in the shade so black!
I am excited about the next product! It is the new Rimmel Argan Oil mascara. I read up about Argan oil and it has some amazing moisturising properties. I am really excited about this and can't wait to try it! This shade is in 001 black but another one has been released called Extreme Black.

The last thing I have recently started loving is Lipstick. I was never a huge lipstick fan until I discovered MAC and I've loved trying new shades. My newest MAC shade is Hue. This is a really nice summer and nude colour for summer in South Africa.

My second lipstick purchase was a Lancôme purchase. It is a beautiful berry shade for colder days and winter, this is the one that will go very nicely with my Revlon eye shadow palette. This is in the shade 131 Pense à Moi, part of the L'Absolu Rouge range.
The third lipstick I got was also from Lancôme and it is a beautiful bright red that is perfect for dinner parties and dates. It is from the Rouge in Love range and is in 181N Rouge St Honoré.
That is all my new make-up collection. I am definitely going to expand it even more and become even better. If you have found any amazing products recently please let me know.
