As always, Laura
Mercier has held strong in my heart and I’ve been loving the Lingerie Cheek & Eye Palette.
All of the shades have been getting love from me, and when I haven’t been
wearing those I’ve reached for some pieces from my MAC stash. Jaunty
is a stunner, and paired with the recently purchased Coquette my perfectly lazy day eye look is created (see the look here!) When I have a little extra time to put my face on, I grab for my essence gel liner in Midnight in Paris-gorgeous name,
wonderful gel liner that really stays put. In October I cracked open a fresh
tube of mascara, trying the new Impact
Curl from Face of Australia.
Love, love, love.
My beloved Illamasqua
blush duo was well loved in October, especially the Lover pan when I wanted peachy perfection on my chipmunk-esque
cheeks. If I craved a little pink action, my essence marbled blush in Swirlpool
hit the spot, and my oh my does it make me glow in the best way. I’ve gone back
to using a good base for my foundation, and it has made a big difference to the
way my skin looks with makeup on. Face
Base from Face of Australia is a
lovely one, and feels like moisturiser but lets the foundation glide on and
stops it from attacking any flaky patches. The Dermalogica MediBac Clearing Oil Free Matte sunscreen* also
acts as a terrific primer, and though I have issues with the firm bottle, the
formula is worth working for it.
Lips have been loving one of my favourite ‘my lips but
better’ shades, the Clinique Chubby Stick in Whole Lotta Honey. If I hadn’t won this shade from Clinique online I don’t think it is a
shade I would have gravitated towards, so am grateful to have had them choose
something that suits me perfectly. I’ve also been liking pale pink lipglosses
like Nars Turkish Delight and my Sportsgirl Liquid Lipstick in Luscious.
Have you tried any of my favourites?
