Mission Accomplished- Mirenesse Skin Clone Foundation.

I've been a fan of mineral powder foundation for years now. The only ones that I had used were loose indie mineral make up. Well, that was until I tried Mirenesse Skin Clone Foundation.
Although not the most important aspect of a product, but I must point out just how gorgeous the packaging is. It is such a classy chrome compact with decent sized mirror. I just love the attention to detail that Mirenesse prides itself upon with their products. For instance, this compact not only looks good, but is super easy to open. A simple press of a button opens the lid to reveal the foundation, so no ruining manicures. Also, there is a plastic cover for the foundation which separates product from included sponge, which I think is a wonderful feature.
The formula includes ingredients such as Zinc and Renovage, both known for their anti-ageing properties. Having an SPF of 15+ is a great benefit. I love a foundation that is good for the skin.
My choice of application is with a kabuki brush, by swirling over the pressed powder and sweeping across the skin, it is easy yet effective. I found that I could achieve a light to medium coverage, depending on my needs. 
I did not find that concealer was a necessary step when using this foundation. I found that by concentrating on my problem areas with the product on a concealer brush, after initial application, was sufficient.
The end result was even coverage, without feeling heavy or chalky. 
Using a primer, I did not find that this foundation settled into fine lines, in fact it gave me a more airbrushed finish, blurring fine lines, therefore making them less visible.
You can see me wearing this foundation here and here.
Would I repurchase? For sure! The pressed foundation is so much easier to use than loose minerals. I just loved the finish. The gorgeous compact is also a bonus. Thankfully, Mirenesse have many sales, so I don't have to wait too long to buy again at a more friendly price! :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
