Honestly, this was meant to be my September favourites but lighting has not been on my side and October seems to have just flown by. Before I blink again and it's suddenly the end of November, it's time to talk to you about the products I've loved throughout the last two months. Yes, shock horror, I actually changed up my makeup and finally have some new products to talk to you about.
To be honest, I'm not much of a primer person. I've only ever tried one which kept making my skin break out and it's just never been a product that I've been all that into. That being said, I was drawn to this the second I saw it, simply because it has 'shine control' in the name (plus I've loved every NARS product I've tried.) Since I started using this, my makeup has lasted so much longer, my skin has been much less shiny throughout the day and if I ever forget to use it, I can really notice the difference. It hasn't made my skin break out at all and I can't find anything that I don't like about it.
To be honest, I don't normally pay much attention to the samples that I receive with orders but something about this caught my eye. I've been using this everyday since receiving it and honestly, I love it. This is the first mascara I've used which looks exactly the same in the evening as it does when I've originally put it on and with this, my eyelashes actually stay curled throughout the day. The formula is definitely lengthening and it's not clumpy at all but I think it could be a touch more voluminous.
Where do I even start, this highlighter is simply gorgeous. Champagne/gold highlighters are definitely my go-to and this is no exception. It is a very soft and smooth powder so it's easy to apply and blend on the skin and the pigmentation is great which builds up to a luminous pearl sheen. Yes you do need to layer it a few times but that's no different to any other highlighter that I've tried.
Cream eyeshadow sticks are my first option when I'm in a rush to do my makeup and the By Terry Ombré Blackstars are my first choice. They are simply amazing and out of the four that I have, Bronze Moon is one of my go-to autumn shades, especially over the past two months. The formula is so creamy, it just melts onto the skin and unlike any others I've tried, they don't dry straight away meaning they blend very easily for a cream eyeshadow. The pigmentation is unlike any other, it is simply incredible - I don't have the words to describe it!
Why I haven't mentioned this to you before I really don't know. I have three of these now and I've been using them more or less everyday for the past five years. It is a synthetic dual-fibre brush so the bristles are incredibly soft, they soak up hardy any product compared to other brushes I've used and the bristles aren't too densely packed meaning they move very easily. I use this brush everyday and it blends both my concealer and foundation amazingly. They clean very well and only recently have I started to notice some bristles shedding in one of the three, which is pretty impressive considering how long I've had it.
I've been trying to change up my makeup a bit more to get ready for Autumn and I've already found a few products that I'm hoping will be part of my favourites next month. What products have you been loving recently?
Bye for now xxx
