Marks & Spencer - Limited Collection - Bronzer Review

I absolutely LOVE to contour and feel it truely lifts and accentuates the shape of your face.  So, I am always on the lookout for contour powders.  Drugstores still need to catch on with the matte contour powder/bronzer concept as apart from Sleek Face Contour Kit all seem to have shimmer in them!

Shimmer does not contour as the glitter in it does anything but create a shadow. Marks & Spencer have a bronzer which is matte in their Limited Collection which I snapped up to try.

Embryolisse Baume Riche - Review

Dry, irritated and sensitive skin is one of the worst things for me personally as I feel its something that makeup can not even cover sufficiently and sets back from receiving that flawless finish.

Recent problems with my skin left me searching for a moisturiser that would cut it and would revert my skin back to hydration!

I finally decided to go with the Embryolisse Baume Riche

Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation - 01 - Review

We all have that foundation or two that are lurking in our makeup collection which we love the formula of but the colour is too dark and not flattering at all. I have tried many over time and have quite a few which were a waste of money as I couldnt wear them without looking orange like an Oompa Loompa!

So, I decided to invest in the Illamasqua Skin Base in the lightest White shade, 01 and all my problems were solved! :)

Marine Eyes



A Blue, green, purple, black, white eyeshadow look... all the watery/fishy colors i could think of, lol... Do give it a try, a very flattering look for those statement eyes :)

Candy Eyes

A pink and purple eye for the daring ones out there ;)

I used a Sleek Makeup Purple eyeshadow which was IMPOSSIBLE to blend *soo not happy** so plz excuse the imperfect blending at the inner corner of eye.  Still decided to post it though since I spent time doing it, lol....

Overlook the blending and enjoy the look - it was the eyeshadow's fault,  honest ;)
