IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

Another month, another empties post...   In May I finished quite a few products, and discovered some new favourite products. Wotnot Wipes- I bought a pack of 3 of these makeup wipes when on sale. Repurchase? I'm not sure, the wipes did a decent job of removing my makeup after my nightly oil cleanse. I am content using any brand that is cheap and does the job. FCUK Connect Perfume - This was a nice perfume to use, fruity and sweet. Repurchase? The longevity just wasn't good enough to warrant another purchase of this perfume. Skinn Vacuum Deep Pore Cleansing Mask - Ever since having a skin care routine, a clay mask has always been my weekly treatment. I've been using so many Skinn Cosmetics products of late and just had to try one of the brand's iconic products. Repurchase? I would consider after finishing up my current clay masks. I was using this mask 3 times a week, but because I was going through too much product, I cut back to once weekly. I found ...

Oh joy! It's time for another Come Play With Me feature! I just love the anticipation of the next theme. You never know what kind of makeup will be needed for the next look, it's rather exciting having a new inspiration for creating some makeup fun. Cathy from Silver Screen Beauty Queen kicked off her chosen "Gold" theme, with a lovely sunkissed golden look , so pretty! I love gold shades, but it's not something that I wear often, so I was only too happy to create a look based on this warm metallic shade. Face Natio Pure Mineral Skin Perfecting BB Cream in Medium . EveryDay Minerals "Viki's Radiant Creation" Lucent finishing powder. MAC "NW25" Mineralize Concealer. L'Oreal "Golden Apricot" Delicioux Blush. Benefit Sun Beam highlighter. Eyes Elf "Sheer" Eyelid Primer . Silk Naturals Stick 'Em Eye Primer . 6-Pan MAC palette highlighter shade. 88 Warm Palette blending shade. Hi-Fi...

BB Creams, I just can't get enough of these products. I no longer think that they are a hyped fad, they are here to stay, and I for one am very glad! Natio Pure Mineral Skin Perfecting BB Cream has been on my wish list since the start of last year. Really for no other reason than that I have tried Natio products in the past, and I have been happy with them.  The cream promises to hydrate skin, whilst correcting skin tone and concealing imperfections.  There is 50g of product in the tube. The packaging is simple, but easily recognizable.  Flip top lid to dispense product. The consistency is a little thicker than that of a moisturizer. There are 3 shades to choose from, light, medium and tan. Medium was appeared a touch too light, so I opted for tan, taking into account that my skin is bound to get more colour with it being summer. It smooths easily over my skin, blending well with my skintone.  I found the coverage to be similar to a tinte...

I can't believe that before using the Natio Glow Skin Brightening Face Balm, I had not used this brand before. I know, right! I don't live under a rock, but with so many brands to choose from, for some reason I just had not gotten around to Natio. I only come to using this product through a program started on beauty website, Beauty Heaven called the Travelling Box, sort of like a Trash n Treasure, where you take out what you want, then replace with what you don't. To be honest, the main reason why I even kept this product was to lighten the box for postage! This balm has been formulated to boost skin vitality and helps even out skin tone. Natural radiance and skin clarity is restored, while ingredients soothe the skin.  This product can be used as a moisturiser, hydrating mask and even a primer. Talk about a multi-purpose product! I like the simple packaging. Flip open the lid, and squeeze the tube to extract what is needed. As the name suggests, this has q...
