The school term has ended... finally, and I thought I'd treat myself to some new makeup. The little afternoon trip with one of my good friends was made definite when Chemist Warehouse were having a 1/2 price of all cosmetics. I left with some items that I was extremely excited about and a small dint to the savings, oh well. I've had a few days to trail the products for you and nothing but good words from me.
Maybelline The Nudes Palette
First up I had to pick up one of these. I'd seen all the hype and decided to give it a go. Now the colours, Maybelline have done an excellent job at choosing all the right colours. No shades are completely matte, but some are more shimmery than others. A very bronzey palette but there are some light and dark shades in there too. The shades themselves are creamy, very pigmented and last forever on the eye balls, plus very sleek, compact packaging... couldn't be happier really.
Maybelline Master Sculpt Contouring Palette - 01 light medium
Another raved about product in the beauty world and I understand why. For the price it is a fantastic bronzer for contouring because it is matte. Now the highlighter, amazing. Such a great colour that is perfect on the tops or cheekbones. The main reason why I love this compact is that both shades are subtle enough on my complexion for everyday school wear. I'll be getting a lot of use out of this and it is even better with a mirror on the under side.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow - 25 bad to the bronze (cream product)
Oh this bad boy is a winner! I havent tried anything like this before so I cant compare it to anything. It can be used by itself on the eyelid blended into the crease, or worn as a base under eyeshadow. True to its name it lasts forever and yes I have tried it out on my sister and 24 hours after application still looking good (she even slept in it). A great colour too, I'll be picking up the silver shade soon. Nice glass packaging makes it heavy and feel expensive.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - 1 fair
Its been half way around the world I can finally say I have this cult product in my hands. A great friend got her dad to get this for us when he went to the UK, and I love it so much. A full coverage concealer covering basically anything, I love it under my eyes because it is a shade lighter it helps brighten under my eyes, and make me look more awake. Dirt cheap so the packaging isn't great and has started to wear off, but the quality of the concealer rivals high end beauty.
Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner
I restocked up on my all time favourite eyeliner, and fell back in love with it. Errh it's just amazing I love it so much! Super black and the thinnest brush for absolute control and precision. I remember using this when I first started wearing liquid eyeliner and as ironic as this is, it helped me master eyeliner. I'd sit in front of my mirror at night and just play with it. Looking forward to a holiday filled with many cat eyes and flicks.
Rimmel Shimmering Maxi Bronzer - 002 sun love
I've saved the best for last, where has this been all my life. Literally this bronzer is on point. The textured powder in the pan and how it looks like the dessert... offt. Then the thin layer of gold shimmer on top.. stop. And lets mention now its bloody huge, so maybe not ideal for travel but who cares, when it makes you look like a bronzed goddess I don't really give a f**k. It's that good.
Honestly I love all these products and it reassures me that price doesn't always equal quality.
