Come Play With Me- Mad About Mattes

I love playing with makeup, something I enjoy seeing just as much, is other's makeup looks. I would really enjoy to share this experience with fellow like-minded bloggers. So, ladies I would be so happy for you to join with me in a little fun and interaction that I call "Come Play With Me".
So, if you would like to participate, here's some simple guidelines (if you're anything like me, you need guidelines, or else forget it! lol)

 For starters, there needs to be a theme.
All that want to participate leave a comment with a link to their version, all links will then be included in "Come Play With Me" posts.
To keep the challenge moving, 2 weeks to submit looks would be ideal. The one to name the theme will pass the baton on to one of the participants, letting them know in their blog post comments section. This person offered the chance to choose a theme could kindly blog their theme in a short period of time.
If there hasn't been a theme chosen in around 2 weeks, I'll post the new theme.
Said theme can be interpreted any way you like, using nail look, eyes, full face, your choice.
Leave a any questions in the comments section, as I'm not sure how well I have worded the conditions, lol.

 Ok, my chosen theme is "Mad About Mattes". Using mattes is not something I do often, so creating this theme gave me the opportunity to use some products that I wouldn't ordinarily apply.




I used some matte shadows from my 88 Warm palette
BH Cosmetics Liquid Eye Liner
L/Oreal Volume Million Lashes
Initially, I was just going to do an EOTD, but thought "What the heck, I'll do a matte lip, too!" So on my lips went Rimmel's  Lasting Finish By Kate in shade 107, a nice rich matte red.

 So, will you join me? :)

    Well now Indie, I can think of no greater pleasure than to come play with you doll! So count me in :-) Let's see if I have this right...so I create a blogpost using the current theme (something matte, oooh yeah I reckon I can come up with something reasonably quickly), then I post the link to my Mad About Mattes article here, and then you choose the next theme, and nominate someone from the group of participants to create a blog post using that theme - is that right?

      Yippee! I am thrilled that you'll join in, Kat! Ok, I'm glad that you were able to decipher what I had written. I was hoping to choose someone to name the next theme once the 2 weeks was up. I can't wait to see what you create, hun xx

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...
