IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

If you don't know by now, I love my shimmery eye shadows. When it comes to duo chromes, I am done, sign me up ! JD Glow Cosmetics has many eye shadows on offer, one of the ranges being Galaxy shadows.  Taken from their website - "Our Galaxy Collection shadows are superior and unique with a Duochrome and Triochrome effect. These shadows have a shimmer/sparkly finish."  The eye shadow pans are packaged in plastic clam shells to ensure safe arrival. They can then be transferred into the palette of your choice. I found it hard to do the swatches justice with a photo, but they are stun-ning! From left to right we have Lit, Starluster, Horizon, Anomaly and Haze. These eye shadows smell so good, similar to vanilla frosting, yum! They are quite soft. Applying them reminded me of the L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadows even though these are pressed.  With the formula of these shadows they are best applied in swipes to smooth the product across the ...

Discount online stores such as Catch of the Day and Ozsale always tempt me with their various offers. My last Catch of the Day purchase consisted of some serums from Re, a brand I actually had never heard of before. Thankfully among the product photos, there was one of the packaging where the ingredients are listed. I chose to try the EGF Repair serum first. Taken from Catch of the Day - "Experience rapid skin rejuvenation with this high performance repair serum. The advanced formula is enriched with EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) to promote cell regeneration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With daily use, it helps to smooth skin texture, fade out acne scars and pockmarks." In fact, the serums are still available at $19.98 for 2. The serum comes in a 30 ml bottle. Dark in colour to protect the integrity of the product. This photo shows the holographic nature of the label, changing in colour depending on where the light hits it. Ok, it...

I had been lusting after the BH Cosmetics Shaaanxo palette ever since it was released. I follow Shaaanxo's YouTube account and I was wowed by the palette. Also, coming from BH Cosmetics, I knew it would be well in my budget. Taken from BH Cosmetics- "...Shaaanxo had hand-picked a mix of dynamic and down-to-earth shades that add up to a multitude of wearable looks that flatter a variety of skin tones." I love the pale pink and white marble look packaging. Very pretty. Open up one side and there is 9 eye shadow shades.  The other side reveals the lipsticks. With this double sided palette your eye shadow look and lipstick is covered. I appreciate the magnetic closure, not only does it make the palette secure, but also is easy to open so my nails are safe, lol. I found that using these eye shadows, I don't need another palette to complete an eye look. Perfect transition, crease and outer v colours. There's also a nice selec...

I like chocolate very much but what I love more is beauty products. If I was to get any for Easter, the following is what I'd really love. Tarte Shape Tape Contour Conealer Photo credit-  Tarte Cosmetics I feel that almost every beauty youtuber that I watch raves about this concealer. I really only use concealer for my dark under eyes and reviews tell me that it does a wonderful job of just that. It sounds amazing, I want it for myself, simple! ColourPop Pressed Eye Shadows Photo credit-  ColourPop The last thing I need is more eye shadow, however, the ColourPop pressed shadows look great from the swatches that I have seen. Of course, I would have to try the many finishes on offer, too! I wouldn't say no to some more Ultra Satin lipsticks, they are such a lovely long wearing lip formula. Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Photo credit-  Sephora AU I'm still trying to decide what form of eyeliner I like best. I have tried felt tipped liners in the...
