Silk Naturals HD Cream Foundation

I've been itching to try Silk Naturals HD Cream foundation. Because I have foundation that I am still getting through, I kept delaying. Well, being in need of some of my regular SN must-haves and a sale prompted me to go ahead and order some cream face product samples.

 This formula contains ceramic microspheres that give an airbrushed finish.
Samples come in handy clam shells with enough product for a few uses. Certainly enough product to determine whether the foundation is a match for you.
Well, the colour of this swatch looks crazy dark, but blended out is a pretty good match.

 I found that swirling first in the product with a flat top brush, then applying seems to give me the best finish.

 The foundation is easily buildable. Although, it is meant to dry with a semi-matte finish, it is more of a dewy look on my skin, which is really what I'd prefer, anyway. This could be as a result of my oily t-zone. I like that it doesn't make my skin look flat or too shiny.

 I recently posted a FOTD using Silk Naturals HD Cream Foundation here. In this photo, I did not wear a powder, although, it didn't slip and slide all over my face, I much prefer to set the foundation with a dusting of finishing powder. Certainly ensures longevity.

 I have gone from mineral powder foundations to liquids, and now thanks to Silk Naturals stick foundation, I'm loving cream foundations!

 Do you stick to one type of foundation, or change it up a bit?

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...
