Loving Lately


The heat is here and it’s been time to tone down my make-up. I recently bought L’Oreal’s True Match Foundation in Rose Ivory because it was the first foundation I ever used, so I was curious to see what I thought of it seven years later. In all honestly I was a little disappointed but I’ve put it to good use by using it on my legs to mask out little imperfections and it works brilliantly. I received Sleeks Pout Paints in 161 Minx & 154 Mauve Over in this month’s Glossybox and I’ve been wearing them ever since. The shades are perfect summer colours for me, a peachy nude shade and a hot purple/pink shade, they are made to be mixed but I like to be bold. They are best to be applied with a lip brush and they give a glossy full coverage lip. Lasting time is pretty good but nothing to rave about as the colour wears off in the inner part of the lips, leaving a bold outline. Even so I still love these lip paints and I really want to try other shades. Illamasqua Concealer 115 My all round favourite concealer right now, because it’s so smooth and creamy and covers up all my blemishes as well as hiding dark circles. The only niggle I have is it chips the nail polish on my thumb nail because of how the compact opens. Avons Eye Shadow Primer Wow I love this stuff and I think this is a dupe for Lime Crime Eye Shadow Helper, it has the same consistency and does exactly the same thing in exactly the same way but a lot cheaper. Sadly Avon is going to discontinue it!! Avons SuperShock Gel Eyeliner in Flash is a really pretty pearl/pink eyeliner that I’ve been using in the inner corners of my eye, giving a wide awake look that I just love. Its long lasting but Avon are also discontinuing this too, so I’m not going to ramble about it.


What have you been loving this summer?

Lime Crime Eye Shadow Helper




Lime Crime's Eye Shadow Helper now comes in a squeezable tube rather that the little blue pot. I never had the chance to try the product when it was in the pot packaging, but I have had the chance to try the product in the updated squeezable tube. First of all I really like the squeezable tube packaging because it’s a lot easier to use. I'm guessing using the little pot would be a bit messier as I would probably end up with the product up my nails. The first time I used it is was very hard to get out of the tube, I had to squeeze pretty hard, but once I used it a few times it became a lot easier to get from out of the tube. As with all Lime Crime packaging it never fails to impress me as their packaging and products always look fun and magical. The product itself is very smooth and lightweight and blends into the skin beautifully. The product is a beige colour but once blended into the skin it becomes transparent, giving the perfect canvas for eye make-up. It’s so amazing because it makes eye make-up ever brighter making your eyes really pop, its crease proof, water proof, touch proof and keeps your eye make-up stay beautiful all day long. Great if you have oily eyelids or want to make shadow brighter, very soft and creamy......


I love this product and I will buy it again!
