Skimlinks Test
Week 1 of school down, only 6 weeks left until Xmas holidays. 1st full week of No Spend November and it hasn't gone too bad, I managed to walk through Boots today without imploding, but the need for warmer clothes is growing as the temperature drops. I'm also having a massive sort through of my make up stash so this weeks picks are some really old bits that are on their last legs - can't wait to have these out of the collection!
- Maybelline Pure BB cream - I used this today and sadly I really disliked this today. A lovely tinted moisturiser, but it does naff all for coverage or my red cheeks are the moment. I'm mixing this with a more full coverage foundation, not pictured as it wont last the week as its a sample.
- Benefit It Stick - A good concealor, very cream and works well under the eyes and a few more pesky spots that need it. I do like this as I can throw it in my makeup bag and then touch up throughout the day.
- 17 Vintage Love Palette - lots of neutral shimmers, I love this for every day smokey eye, an oldie but I've just started to hit pan on a couple of the colours.
- Avon GlimmerStick - a twist up eyeliner, I started off my obsession with makeup at Avon so it's nice to revisit some old favourites.
- Bourjois 2en1 Mascara - I bought this as an emergency last Xmas when I realised I had left my makeup at home, its not a bad little mascara.
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Volume - Another mascara from the bottom of the stash, its time it got used up.
- Sleek Blush in Rose Gold - I love the pinky shimmer of this, lovely winter shade.
- Mac Harmony - Contour to the max, I do have some cheekbones somewhere!
- Benefit Browzing - Does what it says on the tin.
This has turned into more of a, using up and getting rid makeup shake then normal but its the theme I'm working with at the moment - I need to get cleared out as I have so much stuff that is not needed or used, need to make room for Xmas bits and pieces!
What have you picked for this week? xx
After a hectic week last week at work, I've got a little more time in the morning to play so I've picked a few bits extra this week! Yay for more time and make up!
- Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation - an oldie but a lovely foundation, I like this as I'm losing the summer colour and it gives good finish on my oily skin.
- Benefit It Stick - its a concealer, need it at the moment :(
- Benefit Browzing - The perfect match for my brows, NEED to get this used up so I can purchase a new one!
- Maybelline Colour Tattoo Metallic Pomegranate - An item I've been waiting to use, I love all the other so I'm happy this is in my collection! Will feed back on my hopes for this!
- Rimmel Blush in Santa Rose - Tanya Burr loves it, I love it, everyone should love it!
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Liners - 3 to play with this week, can't wait to try out different eye looks.
- Rimmel Scanaleyes Mascara - I love this a lot, it rivals my love for Benefit's They're Real, will review this soon!
I'm very Rimmel & Benefit heavy this week, oh well, its what I reached for before realising.
What bits have you picked for this week? If you do these posts, please link me below! xx
15th Shake up of Make Up - 3 more & its the summer holidays! I can't wait, its all getting a tad stressful at school now!
Oh well, on to the makeup:
Another week, another round of old favourites, some of these haven't been used for a few months, maybe even longer! But that's the whole point of this, I've fallen back in love with a lot of these again.
Face:
- 17 Photo flawless Primer
- Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser
- Benefit Erase Paste
- Bobbi Brown Concealer
- Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
-Benefit Dallas Blush Box
-MUA Blusher
Eyes
- Urban Decay Naked Palette
-Benefit They're Real Mascara
- 17 Photo Flawless Eyeliner
-Benefit Lemon Aid
Lots of easy, quick products this week, my skins playing up a tad, but I don't want to cover with lots of foundation so its nice to re-discover Laura Mercier Tinted, plus Erase Paste gives just enough coverage for where I need it!
If there's anything you want a full review on then let me know! What's in your makeup bag this week? xx
Well hello Sunshine!! It's so nice to see the sun back out, so I've picked lots of bits to bring some summer to my life, especially now its only 7 weeks until the summer holidays :)
Anywhoo, onto the makeup:
Hola Mon Amigos! I lie here on the sofa, very full of Mexican food and going slightly mad from writing reports, however I needed a break - any excuse to go play with make up!
This weeks bits & bobs is quite simple one, I'm using up lots at the moment so I'm delving deeper into the box - I need to get rid of them.
Lots of old products here. This weeks SATs & Assessment week in school so a busy week, so easy, quick makeup is needed!
As ever, let me know if there is anything you want a review of. What are you using this week? Anything here in your collection xx
This Bank holiday couldn't have come at a better time - it seems that everyone's a bit burnt out and in need of some sunshine and relaxation.
With that in mind, I've picked bits this week that welcome the summer and add some light to my make up.
I realise its a very Benefit heavy week, but I have a lot of Benefit products so it is inevitable sometimes! I'm trying to sort out my skin and get it looking better but these go some way in making it look better.
What have you been using this week? What plans have you got for your Bank Holiday Monday? xx
Every Sunday I go through my collection, picking out bits that need using up and bobs that I've forgotten about. A quick count today revealed that I own 12 different mascara - I ask you who needs 12!! Plus 21 eyeliners, 8 different foundations and loads of other bits that need using up and getting rid - so I'm starting a Project 10 Pan.
Included in this I have:
- Murad Skin Perfecting Primer
- Rimmel Wake me Up foundation
- Clinque High Impact Mascara
- Benefit Lemon Aid
- Rimmel Soft Kohl Pencil
- Benefit Bad Gal Mascara x2
- Benefit You're Buffing Colour Corrector
- Rimmel Max Bold Curves Mascara
- 17 Photo flawless Primer
I want all of these gone, some are too old, barely anything left in them and need to be finished and chucked out!
I'll keep you updated, but for now this is my main makeup for school (work)- I've kept everything else the same as last week as I'm being lazy!
Are you doing a clear out? Who does need 12 mascaras?
So first week of the summer term has begun and spring is really trying to start so my make up choices are starting to get more summer based.
This weeks picks are a real range of things I need to use up as well as bits that are new to the stash or old favourites.
Face:
- Rimmel Wake me Up foundation
- 17 Cosmetics Photo flawless Primer
- Mac Blush in Harmony
Eyes & Lips:
- Benefit Lemon Aid
- Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold
- Barry M Dazzle Dust in 38
- Clinique High Impact Mascara
- Benefit Badgal Lash Mascara
- Benefit Browzing in Medium
- Jelly Pong Pong Irish Cream Pavlova Lip Frosting
Lots of bits this week - some bits that are part of my project 10 pan (post to come this week)
What bits have you grabbed this week? Any tips for getting through a project 10 pan? xx
Sorry this is late, life gets a tad complicated at weekends, but I went home to my parents for the weekend for a car event - but this is what I packed and I'm using it for this weeks make up!
I'm finding myself not so fussed with makeup at the moment, my skin is really playing up and I think I need to sort that out first, but I've had a few products resurface from my stash that might just shake me up a bit further.
Forgot how much I love most of the Benefit products, it is pricey but I adore it!
What bits are you loving this week? How do you shake yourself up out of a rut?
Happy Sunday everyone - another week down and only 4 more days of school until two full weeks off (although I need to go back in to sort out my classroom cupboard!)
This week I've picked loads of lazy bits which I can chuck on and leave without too much fuss - some of these are old favourites and others are bits I didn't love but am trying to work with so that I can use up!
Another shake up of the make up - I missed out last week as I didn't get home till late and so didn't have time, so this weeks picks are really from the depths of my collection!
