MAC ROSY OUTLOOK BLUSH

This Mac blush in the shade ROSY OUTLOOK is a great peachy, pastel shade. It has pink undertones and looks great on more pale skin. It can be very powdery and does take a few applications to get the desired colour. I am very happy with this blush and continue to use it every day. The only downside is because you have to use quite a bit of it you hit pan quite quickly.

DAY TIME SMOKEY EYE

Here i am wearing my essence eye liner, i have created a cats eye. I have also used the Stila palette and my Mac rosy outlook blush. I am wearing a nude, matte inglot lipstick

INGLOT 144 LIPSTICK & NYX GLOSS

These two products look great together! Inglot lipsticks are very moisturizing and have a beautiful creamy formula. This colour 144 is my favorite pastel pink! Being quite a bright pastel it is probably best to pair the lipstick with a subtle eye look. This Nyx gloss is a beautiful pink colour and pairs very well with the inglot lipstick. The gloss has a good consistency. It is not too sticky or too watery, it sits perfectly on the lips and lasts a long time. These colors are great for summer and spring.

ACCESSORIZE BRONZING BLOCK 2

This accessorize bronzing block is fantastic. For someone who is fair like me, i look for a bronzer that has two shades so that i can mix both the lighter and darker shade for a color that suits me. I love this product for contouring. It offers me the perfect color combination. It is a matte bronzer with a very slight sheen. So light it is hardly noticeable. This bronzing block is in the shade 2. The packaging is very pretty and is made from a hard cardboard. I love using this bronzer more than i like the Bourjois chocolate bronzer, which is a large matte bronzing block. Bourjois was my favorite until i found this. <3 

MAC CREME CUP CREMESHEEN

Okay, this is my new favorite everyday lipstick! i purchased it yesterday and i have used it already. This is the perfect nude/pink shade. I have been looking for a lipstick that i can wear with very smokey eyes. I don't like very nude lipsticks that make me lips look white and i have so many bright pink lipsticks that i wanted something in between. Upon arriving at the mac store i asked the makeup artists what the best and most popular shade was for a subtle everyday look. She suggested creme cup. She could not have been any more correct. I am already obsessed with this lipstick. It doesn't have a very creamy texture which is good because it lasts longer. I apply my mac naked liner before i apply this, just so that i can get the most pigmented, vibrant color. For fairer skinned females this color is fantastic! not to say darker skins can't wear it.

ESSENCE LIQUID EYELINER

I have been very impressed with this ESSSENCE liquid eyeliner. The tip is made of sponge and gets smaller towards the tip. For R30 i couldn't have asked for a better product. The liner is very black and lasts the entire day! I remove my makeup with johnson makeup remover wipes and it takes a while before this liner is removed completely. It is perfect for the cat eye or winged liner look and very easy too apply. You can create lines in a variety of thickness. Love this! the price sold me completely.

STILA 'IN THE LIGHT' PALETTE

I am so impressed with this Stila palette. Being relatively new to South Africa, i was not familiar with Stila as a brand. When i saw that Stila had been introduced to Woolworths i was so excited! i had watched a few youtube beauty bloggers use the Stila kitten paint pot and wanted to get one. This eye shadow palette comes with 10 shadows. It is the best selection of shadows i have found in a palette. It also comes with a Stila smudge stick which is a retractable eye liner in a dark brown shade. The shades kitten and shampagne are my favorite but the shade bare is a great neutral shade for over the eye lid. You can create a smokey look or every day looks with this selection of shadows. The palette is relatively well priced too, at R389 it is amongst the most affordable high end palettes available.
