Top 10 beauty products of the moment.

Benefit's Erase Paste:

This concealer has a very thick, creamy consistency. It blends out well wether you're using your fingers or a brush to apply it and works best for those pesky dark under-eye circles! Mines in shade light and the only downfall is that there are only three shades and none of those are good for darker skin ethnicities. 

TheBalm Bronzing Bandit and Mary-lou Manizer the Luminizer
Firstly i'm going to talk about the bronzer.   The packagings very cute and i really like the whole 'wanted' theme. It's very blendable and pigmented so a little goes a long way. In the packaging it looks pretty sparkly which isn't ideal for a bronzer but that doesn't transfer to the skin when blended out and leaves a nice glow almost. 
Now it's time for my to ramble on about the highlight. Again the package is cute and themed and unfortunately i dropped mine onto laminated floor and mine cracked/broke which makes it very hard to use. Even so it gives great colour pay off and doesn't make me look oily. Only downside is that within a few hours a top up is required!

Smashbox's Cream Eyeliner in Putty.
Putting aside the fact that it's marketed as a 'cream eyeliner' i've taken to using this little gem on my eyebrows. It's purely matte and matches my natural brow colour pretty well, it's got excellent staying power and super defined brows. It also holds the hair down in place a lot easier!

M.A.C Lipstick in Creme Cup, Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer and Khroma Beauty Lipgloss:
M.A.C Lipstick - This lipstick is a Cremesheen and goes on really nicely, isn't too matte and is very true to colour. It's a nice light pink and very wearable for day time. The packaging is very classic and overall it's a lovely lipstick.
Rimmel London Apocolips - The shade i have is in Apocoliptic, which, personally i think is very lovely. It's a lip lacquer and goes on very thick in a lovely opaque, true to colour manner. It stays glossy and  doesn't dry out.
Khroma Beauty Lipgloss - I have this beautiful gloss in the shade Wildflower Honey. It's a lovely nudey pink with blue undertones and it smells devine (if you like honey,that is). It's perfect for everyday and is super flattering to all skin tones!

M.A.C Eyeshadow in All That Glitters:
This eyeshadow is a Veluxe Pearl and is shimmery but it isn't overly shimmery. It's a rose gold kind of colour (excuse my bad explanation of colours haha). It goes on really pigmented and has a good staying power, great for an all over lid colour!

BHcosmetics 2nd Edition 120 Colour Palette:
 
This beautiful palette has an array of shades ranging from mattes to shimmers, lights to darks and everything inbetween! It's like a chocolate box for makeup lovers. The colours are extremely pigmented and blend out lovely. Easily a favourite AND it's cheap as chips (although shipping to the UK is extortionate).

Rimmel London Glam Eyes Liquid Liner:


The shade i have mine in is 001 Black Glamour. This ultra-black eyeliner is perfect for defining the eyes. The wand, though, is extremely thin and flimsy so i don't recommend this for lid application but is PERFECT for wings in my opinion. It gives you clean lines and the ability to fill in the smallest of places!


Thats it! Hope you enjoyed reading this and if you have any opinions/suggestions feel free to comment! I'd love to hear from you!
