Top 5 Lip Products

Today I am going to talk to you about my top 5 favourite lip products! This was a really hard one for me to narrow it down.

1. MAC Matte Lipstick in Mehr:

This lipstick is so pretty! It is incredibly easy to pull off I think that a range of skin colours. It is a very comfortable matte and stays a long time.

2. MAC Lustre Lipstick in Plumful:

 This lipstick is a really pretty, wearable purple. It is a colour that does not look over the top and it is very moisturising. The only complaint I have is that it wears off incredibly easily as it is a lustre formula.

3. NYX Butter Gloss in Vanilla Creme Pie:

I love all of the NYX butter glosses they are incredibly comfortable on the list and it doesn't wear off too easily either. My favourite colour is Vanilla Creme Pie as its very wearable and you can wear it over anything

4. Revlon Lipbutter in 001 Pink Truffle:

This is a very comfortable formula, the colour is a brownish pinky colour. It is so natural that even on days when I am not wearing makeup I can throw it on as a lip balm and it doesn't look strange against my bear face

5.  Colour Sensational Lipstick in Pink Wink:

This colour is also very comfortable I find that it lasts a long time and the pink colour is one that isn't super natural but not too out there either.

Benefit Products Overview

I already have a post on the benefit boxed blushes but I own a lot of other benefit products so I thought that I would review the other products I own for you.

1. Benetint- This is a rose tinted stain for lips and cheeks. When I was researching for this post I found a interesting fact: "It was originally created for an exotic dancer in the 1970's). I don't really like any of the tints as I find them hard to blend out and they leave dots on your face which is not a good look!

2. Posietint- Poppy Pink stain for lips and cheeks

3. Cha Cha Tint- A mango tinted stain for lips and cheeks. I really like wearing this one under the Coralista Blush

4. Girl Meets Pearl- This is a Soft Golden Pink Liquid Pearl Luminizer. This is such a pretty highlight its also a really nice highlight to wear under powder highlights

5. Sunbeam- This is the same formula as the 'tints'. I find that I have the same problem with it leaving dots on my face and it also would suit darker skin tones better- I want to get the high beam highlight.

6. Porefessional Face Primer- this is the only primer that I feel actually works. It is a silicone feeling primer that really does a good job of minimising your pores. It is also oil free.

7. That Gal Brightening Primer- its a pink coloured primer that does a really good job of brightening when I have had a bad night and need to look awake I use it.

8. They're Real Mascara- I love this mascara I use it a lot, it is great for the bottom lashes too. I also find that the NYX Le Chick Flick Mascara works pretty much the same though

So please let me know in the comments your favourite benefit products and if you enjoyed this please share as it helps me out!

Makeup Roundup #1 Monday 14th to Sunday 20th

I have decided to start recording the makeup I wear so that I can share with you my opinions of the products and the finished look so here is the first in my new Makeup Roundup Series


Monday 14th:

Foundation: Loreal Infalliable Pro Matte in 22 Radiant Beige (this is such a gorgeous long-lasting  foundation but I think I have a shade too dark)

Concealer: LA Girl Pro Conceal H.D Concealer in GC972 (this is a gorgeous concealer that has great coverage but looks really natural)

Powder (s): Under my eyes I used the Banana shade from the Australis ACONTOUR palette which gives a really nice highlighted effect and on the rest of my face I used the Rimmel Lasting Finish Powder Foundation in 003 Silky Beige- this is really nice it adds extra coverage without looking cakey.

Contour:  I used a contour colour from the Australis ACONTOUR palette. I used the middle cool tone colour.

Blush: For my blush I used the Benefit Rockatour boxed blush which is by far my favourite blush of all time

Highlight: I used the MAC Soft and Gentle highlighter which is my favourite highlight

Eyeshadow Base: I used the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk which really helps to make the colours on your eyes stand out

Eyeshadow: For my eyeshadow I used the Stila Nouveau Natural Eyeshadow palette which is a beautiful palette

Mascara: I used the NYX Le Chick Flick M

Top 5 Eyeshadow Palettes

Today I am going to talk about my favourite eyeshadow palettes! I absolutely love eyeshadow it is probably my favourite makeup product to use. So here are my top 5:

1. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette:

This is my favourite eyeshadow palette, it was the first high end eyeshadow palette I ever bought so there is some sentimental value for me as well as the colours are so versatile and pigmented. I have almost completely used up the colour Marzipan.

2. Lorac Pro Palette:

The Lorac Pro Palette is another one of my favourite palettes. I love that the palette is half mattes so if you want to do a all matte look you can. The colours are extremely pigmented and easy to blend and the shimmers are also really nice and they are very pigmented, I also love using them wet to make them more metallic.

3. Stila Eyes are the Window Palette in Mind:

I really like this palette it is an all matte palette with a range of cool and warm tones. It is a great palette to use alone or with other palettes.

4. Lorac Unzipped Gold Palette:

I really like this palette. The palette is mostly shimmers but there is enough mattes to compliment the look and darken up the outer corner without adding shimmer. My favourite colour is the champagne palette. I am going to do a review on this palette soon

5. Chi Chi Taupes and Bases Palette:

Okay I am cheating a little here hehe but they do technically come in a pack, there is 2 palettes but they complement each other really well, you can get them at target here in Australia. The Bases palette has some amazing lid colours while the Taupes palette has fantastic great outer lid colours and blending colours. I will do a review soon on these

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe added some to your makeup wish list!
