Tweet Natio is a “natural” Australian brand which recently parked its bum in Debenhams. I was sent this Mineral Illuminating Powder to test. They say: A light reflecting powder that instantly lifts and brightens skin tone. Iridescent highlights draw attention to the skin leaving it fresh and radiant looking. This Illuminating Powder comes with a brush on the top of the case. The powder doesn’t come through to the top of the brush (as I thought), you have to tip {Read More}
Tweet When I was on the Chanel counter last week I purchased three things, the Chanel Mat Lumiere Liquid Foundation, the Chanel Bronze Universel and this, the powder version of the Mat Lumiere base: You don’t need to buy this to go with the Mat Lumiere Liquid Foundation! You can use any powder to set it! This powder if a powder foundation, which means it has greater coverage on the skin, so used with the liquid foundation it can look {Read More}
Tweet The Balm, for all intents and purposes is a very cute brand to use and I have tried some bits and pieces from their range that have been quite successful. This product, the Sexy Mama is a anti-shine translucent powder which is supposed to work for all skintones. The result is a matt, soft effect without a cakey look. It comes in a cute compact that is cardboard – I have always said I prefer plastic over cardboard but {Read More}
Tweet I’m a bit slow with this product but still…Benefit’s Powderflage Powder Concealer – or should I say light reflecting powder caught my eye ages ago but by the time I was ready to buy, I couldn’t find it on counter anywhere! The gal on Benefit told me she had “never heard of it before” – eh?! Luckily I found it on ASOS. Apparently Powderflage is being discontinued but you will still find it on odd reputable sites and on {Read More}
Tweet What make up items remind you of childhood? There’s a few things that stick in my mind, things that I found from rummaging in my aunt or mother’s make up bags. 1. A YSL Lipstick in a bright red (smelt good) 2. A Mary Quant Blusher in a bright Fuchsia (The case was shiny black and had the little flower logo all over) 3. Lots of things from Boots No. 7 4. Max Factor Creme Puff! For some bizarre {Read More}
Tweet Sleek really is one of my favoured high street make up brands – when its good, its very good and well worth the price. I also like the simple black packaging that always feels heavy rather than light and cheap. This Contour Kit hit my doormat a few weeks ago – I love contour products although I tend to like doing it (if I bother) with my Nars Multiple Sticks (Malaysia and Copacabana). The Sleek MakeUP contouring kit comes {Read More}
Tweet I was sent this ELF High Definition Loose Powder to test quite a while ago but have only had a chance recently to give it a go. (I am working on a post/video on the best make up for photographs so this HD face powder popped into mind). There’s been plenty of hype surround this plainly packaged £6 powder. For one thing, its cheap (ELF is of course, known for being very very affordable with a large selection of {Read More}
Tweet I am interested in contouring and shading – think it makes a big difference to the face if done well and subtly. Was anyone else an 80s child like me and remembers how the Hong Kong or Asian actresses in general used to contour their noses? Extreme. It was extreme. Anyway I bought this Make Up For Ever sculpting kit to have a play with. There are 4 variations so I got no. 2 which is described as medium {Read More}
