BB Cream -Maybelline - Dream Fresh 8-in-1 BB Cream

This is amazing, it is great as a light everyday moisturising foundation. It was £8.99 which I think was a bit pricey for quite a small tube but it was totally worth it. Even on my horrible dry skin it doesn't flake. It only probably lasts about half a day but I really love it, will definitely buy again!

Primer/ Corrector -Smashbox - PHOTO FINISH HYDRATING FOUNDATION PRIMER

I bought the smaller size and it was tiny considering I paid £12.50 for it. But .... this primer is amazing. I have dry skin and the texture of it is silky and not too thick so it doesn't clog up my pores at all. An excellent primer, will definitely buy again but as a full size bottle.

Powder -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish - Medium Plus
wildingellie 10/25/2012 2:47:00 PM
THE BEST POWDER I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! I love the Mineralise Skinfinish and this is no exception! It is great for my dry skin and I actually sometimes use it on it's own as a light coverage foundation powder aswell as to set my full face foundation. Shows no flaky dry skin and makes my foundation last a long time! Will definitely buy again! 5 STARS!

Liquid -MAC - Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation
wildingellie 10/25/2012 2:44:00 PM
I bought this because it was advertised as being good for dry skin - it is. When I apply this it does not show up any flaky dry skin at all. The texture is super thick so I sometimes try to mix this with strobe cream/moisturiser to make it less thick. It dries so quickly which is not ideal because when you put in on your face and go to blend it in with a brush it has already partly dried. It smells like paint and feels like paint on my face but has amazing coverage - it lasts for probably about a whole day (with primer and moisturiser underneath)! It breaks my skin out very badly when I wear it and for me it is too thick but it is great for dry skin - I only tend to use it when I'm going out properly. I am on the borderline to whether I would purchase this product again - I probably would as a special occasion foundation not an everyday one.

Concealers -MAC - select cover-up
wildingellie 10/25/2012 2:37:00 PM
I have this in an NC23 (I am an NC25 in foundation). I bought this to mainly cover blemishes and spots/acne but I didn't really take a look at the actual packaging until after I bought it - I really don't like the tube - I would much prefer a wand to apply it but oh well. The actual concealer has great coverage and applies nicely and smoothly, even on my horrible dry skin. It is quite thick though. Personally I wouldn't buy again but I would recommend to someone else.

Brows -MAC - Eyebrows Crayon in Spiked
wildingellie 10/25/2012 2:34:00 PM
I absolutely love this! My eyebrows are quite sparse so I like to fill them and define their shape more. My eyebrows are literally black and I went into the MAC store with the intention of buying the pencil in either Stud or Spiked although I didn't want the colour to be too harsh/dark on my face. The girl in the shop tried them both on and actually said I could get away with the lighter one (Spiked) instead of Stud. I literally am obsessed with it! It's got great coverage and goes on easily. The fine nib allows you to draw with it accurately and it gives a really nice natural look. At first I thought it was a bit expensive compared to other pencils I'd seen but I went for it and never looked back! Amazing item and a staple item in my makeup collection!
