So..
Today I am going to do a little review on the make-up products I use every day I have not included lips because I don't use lipstick much unless going to the clubs or out to tea or special occasions I do use lip glosses a lot though but WAY too many to do a review on with all this as well, I'll leave that for another day.
Well lets get straight to it then,
Face Products .
Starting from the Left is,
Covergirl 'Professional Loose Powder'
In the colour 115 translucent medium.
Its not too powdery and helps with oily skin or just simply makes your liquid foundation have a more matte finish instead of being all shiny.
I have slightly sensitive skin but it has never made my skin feel irritated in anyway!
The only problem I have found with this product is that the lid breaks quite easily and need a more durability but other then that it is pretty much perfect for me with just the right amount of colour for $15 from priceline you just can't walk past it!
Hydraluron by Indeed Laboratories
Its says on the tube
"Increases skin hydration from below the surface with an ultra-high hyaluronic acid that holds up to 1,000 times it weight in water"
And OMG it so does! It is amazing I love this stuff and my skin does too! My skin absorbs it so easily and it is, as if my skin is drinking it in! It makes my skin feel so much more softer and heaps less dry. Although it is not meant to be used as a substitute for moisturiser you do have to use moisturiser on afterwards but it seems to me that my moisturiser is absorbed a lot quicker and less sticky which makes me love it more.
Price was $24.94
Rimmel London 'Wake me up' Concealer
In the colour Ivory.
Its says on the bottle that it has an instant Anti-Fatigue effect with a vitamin moisturising complex, but I don't really agree its much better to use for making your blemishes and spots although it still doesn't do all that good of a job I only bought it because I like to buy matching foundations and concealers. which brings me to foundation.
Price was $14.95
Rimmel London 'Wake me up" Foundation
In the colour 103 True Ivory.
This is the complete opposite of the concealer it totally does what it states it does and I love it so much it truly does have an instant Anti-Fatigue effect and a radiant glow, and the only reason I think it does is not because of some vitamin moisturising ingredient but because it has a very slight shimmer to it and doesn't make me look like I have put a shimmer powder all over my face, it just makes my face look a lot more healthy and the shimmy can be toned down when you put some powder on your face so I am quite happy about that. It is a medium to heavy coverage and doesn't look cakey, a little goes along way with this one! And I love the bottle, very cute I think.
Lastly it has a SPF 15 in it which I'm loving!
Price was $19.95
Garnier BB Cream 'Miracle Skin Perfector'
In the colour Light.
Now it does hydrate and soothe and all that other stuff it clams but just the cream on its own makes your skin look so oily so I have to put a powder over the top of it to give it the matte finish I am after with my foundation/base.
*The only thing shiny I like is my eyes!*
But anyway, This stuff is really great for everyday use it has a light feel as well and not cakey although I do put it on with my "Real Techniques Expert Face Brush" And it goes on quite streaky I have tried to used other brushes but it does the same thing but I just go over it with my Covergirl powder and a "Real Techniques Buffing Brush" and the streaky appearance disappears. I am going to purchase another brand when this one runs out which will be very soon to see if i can get one less shiny though.
Price was $13.99
Garnier BB Cream 'Eye Roll On'
In the colour Light.
This product doe work I have not big but dark bags under my eyes and this has just the right pigment in it to make it less noticeable, it doesn't make them non existent seeming the it is a light coverage, but it does work for my skin and makes my eyes pop and less puffy.
Price was $13.99
Benefit Blush 'Dandelion'
This isn't as pink as I would like but its great for work. I don't like going to work with intense and bold looking cheeks. So I really like the subtleness of this blush and I'm a sucker for light baby pink colours the make me feel fresh and not over the top. Its quite pigmented and very smooth looking on the cheeks and I do put the slightest, and I mean the tiniest bit on my chin and forehead as well makes my face more brightened but I would do this if you don't have a pinkie skin tone and I would NOT do this if it was more dark, colour-wise. Over all I love all Benefit blushes and will be adding them all to my collection! And the little boxes are just the cutest thing ever!
Price was $28.00
(I use foundations when i need lots of coverage and BB Cream when I'm having good skin days i don't use them together, Just sayin')
Now on to eyes..

Starting from the back is,
Urban Decay 'Naked'
The colours in this palette are,
Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep and Gunmetal.
The only ones I have been using so far in the last few months are Virgin and Half baked for highlighting purposes on the bridge of my nose, Cupid's bow and the highest parts on my cheek bones.
But they are very pigmented easy to use and great quality, they also blend great too! The Only bad thing is the mirror is tiny.
Urban Decay 'Naked 2'
The colours in this palette are,
Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall,Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, Ydk, Busted, Blackout
And again I don't use these often I only use Blackout as a top lid eyeliner and that's it.
But the plus side colours look great the mirror is awesome and the way it clicks shut is a great idea!
Urban Decay 'Naked 3'
Colours in this last palette are,
Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside and Blackheart.
Now OMG I fricken love this palette this has been the best palette I have ever purchased!! There is so much I could say about this but I will be writing so hours! So I'll try do this quickly.
The colour Strange I use under my eyes brow to brighten them and define them.
Dust is my absolute favourite one out of the lot! It has my favourite colour pink in it and the most prettiest shimmer in an eye shadow I have ever used. I make my eyes look so damn pretty and I just love it so much!!
Burnout, Buzz, Trick & Liar I love shimmer and are so shiny to the point they are metallic almost. They are just so cute!!
And Blackheart is just on another level of awesome!
Its a deep Black matte colour with THE MOST amazing rosey red or maroon coloured micro-glitter. I just have never found a colour like it
This palette I highly recommend to everyone the suite anyone! I have even tried Nooner with limit and Mugshot on my mum (53yr old) and made her lids look so much smoother Its a must buy!!
Price is about $52 each but I got all three together as a gift so I'm not sure of the price
Maybelline 'Define-a-Lash' Mascara
In the colour Very Black.
(Green One)
This I bought for my bottom lashes because it doesn't give volume or length, its perfect if you just want a touch of colour to your lashes but not as a going-out type look. They just don't give the HELLO LASHES effect I'm after.
Price was $19.25
Maybelline 'The Mega Plush' Volum Express Mascara
In the colour Blackest Black.
(Blue one)
Love this one it is a Gel-mousse with less wax doesn't flake, Ive had mine for nearly a year and hasn't dried out yet and definitely gives the pretty HELLO LASHES effect I'm after.
Price was $19.95
Natio 'BrowKit'
Now I can not find my brow kit anywhere, so i had to do the naughty and google the image (naughty me)
But anyway Not much to say about this one other than awesome! I want to get the Brow zinger by Benefit but until I decide what else I want to buy of their website I'm going to stick with this one. I love the wax idea and how they put a cut little pair of tweezers with it,They are good quality too I use than over my good pair and the convenient little brushes (I have never use) are a good idea too If I didn't have my heart set of the Natio one I would definitely purchase this again!
And just because I mentioned them, I thought I'd add in this picture of my
Real Techniques Brushes.
