Makeup Mess 2019 #2

I really wanted to try one of my Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Premium loose eye shadows. They are multi-chrome, beautiful and needed to be applied to my lids. So, I took the opportunity to also create a Makeup Mess post.

If you read my first Makeup Mess, you'll notice some of the same products, but I did change some things up. I'll begin with eye products.


Elf Mad About Matte Eye Shadow Palette- I used 2 of these shadows in my crease, they make fantastic transition shades.

Suva Beauty Block Party Eye Shadow Palette- I blended the navy blue shade into my outer "v". It is very pigmented, yet surprisingly blends easily, without being patchy. 

                               

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Premium Eye Shadow in - I applied the star of the show on my lid over a sticky base. It is stunning, shifting from bronze to green to purple.  It's so hard to capture on camera, so take my word for it, this shadow is amazing!

Nads Universal Brow Pencil- I have been using this eyebrow pencil every day lately that I have been wearing makeup. Great shade, and I love that it has a fine tip to the pencil.

Essence Lash Princess Mascara- This mascara formula is starting to thicken a little, but I'm still loving the volume and length that I get with it.

Now for the base products

Touch in Sol No Poreblem Primer- I only use this primer occasionally, because I forget to. Might be because I don't really notice it doing much for my skin. I have since decluttered it because I just don't want to keep products if I don't enjoy using them.

NYX Dark Circle Concealer in Light- My go-to dark circle corrector, well, actually it's the only one I have, but it does work well.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation- This is a nice medium foundation. I just think with my aging skin, I'm preferring a lighter coverage foundation because I'm finding base products are settling in my fine lines, or more like my fine lines are just not so fine any more, lol.

Garnier BB Cream for Oily/Combination Skin- The foundation is too light for my skintone, so I mixed my fave BB cream in Medium to darken it.

MAC Strobe Cream in Pink Lite- This has become a staple in my foundation routine, I love to mix a little into whatever base I am using. I love the glow it gives my skin.

Maybelline Master Conceal- I like to use this concealer to lighten my dark under eye area.

Australis Ready Set Go Finishing Powder- I use this loose translucent powder to set the concealer. 

All Natural Face Finishing Powder in Apricot- I love this peach toned loose powder, it flatters my skintone and I love the airbrushed finish.


And finally face products and lipstick

Benefit Hoola Bronzer- I love this bronzer. It's a great colour for me and blends nicely on the skin.

Dose of Color Highlighter in Bathe- The highlighter is one of the items from the ILuvSarahii collab. When I first saw it in person, I was concerned that the shade would be too dark for my skintone, but with a light hand it gives a wet look glow which I love

Tarte- This blush is not as bright on the cheeks as in the pan, thank goodness. I love that it's buildable, so doesn't deposit too much colour as I prefer a hint of colour on my cheeks, I don't like an intense blush.

Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick in Mauve Story- I really like the formula of the Dose of Colors liquid lipsticks. This one is from the second DesiXKaty collab, and it's a light nude shade with a touch of mauve.

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

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.
