I really like this. Great texture. I wear it sheer for a lovely healthy flush, but I'm sure you could build up if you wanted more colour

Eye Shadow -Estee Lauder - Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowCreme - Silver Leaf

Loving this! I was searching for a cool-toned cream eyeshadow for ages, couldn't find any, untill I happened across this at an EL counter. Of course when I went to buy it, they didn't have any ;-( as it was LE. I hunted it down on ebay and really adore it. Gorgeous taupey-grey. One sheer layer looks pretty matte, but if you pat another layer on when the first is dry, it really adds a gorgeous shimmer and complexity. Have also tried it with a sheer wash of BE Celestine and it was really beautiful. I am having such fun playing with this!

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette

I felt compelled to buy this because of the rave reviews and the beautiful colours, but on using I'm slightly dissapointed. The glitter is OTT, could do with more satin shades. They are also quite soft and crumbly, did not expect them this given the price point. Colours are gorgeous, and the combinations are beautiful. Wouldn't buy again, but I am enjoying it.

Brows -Shu Uemura - Eyebrow Gel

Delighted with this!! I have this in Seal Brown. I've been searching for ages for the perfect product for my brows - I'm a brunette with sparse, light coloured brows. Pencils were not good at deepening colour, and powders were not good at defining shape, so I usually ended up using both and often felt my brows looked over-done - OK for evening, but false-looking for day wear. This product is best of both! Looks absolutely natural and soft, perfect for daytime, but still allows me to improve the shape of my brows. Packaging is good, lasting power is good, colour is perfect (no red undertones, lovely nuetral brown) HG product for me!

Blush -NYX - Mosaic Powder in Peachy

Like this a lot! Wanted to try a peach blush as I was sick of all my pinks. Figured I'd try a cheaper model to see if I liked the shade... well no need to go to the MAC counter, this works wonderfully. Perfect peachy/golden glow with very fine shimmer.

Liquid -Bourjois - Healthy Mix Foundation

Good stuff! Nice semi-satin finish, good medium coverage & nice smell. Skin feels comfy, and its a good match colour-wise. I'm pale, most lighter shades in the drugstore tend to be pinkish, but this is not - I picked 52/Vanilla. I have dry skin and normally pick things with more 'slip', (eg Chanel vitalumiere/Maybelline Dreamy Cream) This doesn't have slip, but it feels comfortable - most Matte foundations feel like a tight mask on my skin. I have nothing bad to say about it. Gave it 4 lippies, should prob give it 5, but I took one off as its a leeeetle bit 'flat'. Will try an illuminating primer next time. But its great for daytime.
