Last week this post was only ment to be a day late but for some reason that day turned into a week! Does this happen to anyone else? Better late than never though so here's what I'll be using over the next fortnight.
Chanel Pro Lumiere: The shade I own is '20 Clair-Cameo' when swatched it looks far too dark but once blended it's quite a good match. It isn't full coverage but does a good job of covering any redness which I have a lot of on my cheekbone area.
Dainty Doll Cream Blusher '003 Billion Dollar Babies': I'm fair but BDB is such a natural shade, I'm not sure it's going to show up against my skin tone. Might be a good choice for girls with very pale skin, I imagine it could be used as blush, bronzer, contour.
bareMinerals Prime Time 'Cameo Pink': I haven't been using eye primers at all lately but if you're lazy like me, this one from bareMinerals can be worn alone for a sheer wash of colour. I swatched it last year (link) if you want to have a look.
Rimmel Apocalips 'Celestial': Before I bought this there had been so many rave reviews. I really wanted 'Big Bang' but it was sold out and 'Celestial' looked like a nice everyday colour. I do like them, they feel nice on the lips, pigmentation is fantastic, they don't dry my lips out at all and they last a decent amount of time but I don't think the formula is groundbreaking or anything that hasn't been done before.
Dainty Doll Mascara/Eyeliner Duo: The liquid liner is rubbish. Pigmentation is poor and wipes straight off so for that reason I won't be using it and to be honest, the mascara is dire too but for a natural lash look it does the job.
Do you own any of these products?
What have you picked from your stash?
I love the Apocalips! And celestial is lovely! I love Chanel foundation but have never heard of this one. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's been discontinued and replaced with an updated version. I haven't tried the new one but I've read it's not as good.

I did try this foundation from Chanel ages and ages ago but there was no colour pale enough for me and the assistant said I would have to blend my own colour up with Chanels white foundation - I said no thanks lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking the look of bare minerals prime time eye primer, I'm still searching for anatural alternative to Urban decays eye potion but not found any that work as good as yet anyway lol! xx

Anyone who buys Chanels white foundation to make the shade of another Chanel foundation match has more money than sense! lol I do like the bareMinerals Primer but it's really expensive for the amount of product you get. I got mine ages ago in a QVC TSV but doubt I'd buy it again.

I'm waiting for the apocalips to arrive to the us. Everyone seems to really like them! xx
ReplyDeleteThey're a lovely product, especially for the price. :) Are you in the US? I had no idea Rimmel was available over there.

I think Celestial is my favourite but I didn't think it would be, it's so wearable.
