Each September and October glided by with out a “WIMMB” put up and right here we’re, already in November. This month’s make-up bag does include some merchandise I already talked about- like my favourite Lip Colours for Fall, City Decay’s Bare Cherry assortment, and Pixi’s Matte Final Liquid Lips. I gained’t waste your time speaking about these merchandise once more, however be at liberty to examine these posts out for my opinions and swatches. Now, let’s see what else is new.
Isn’t she a magnificence? Final yr, I skipped on the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette- which was the Vol 3 launch. This yr, Hourglass launched two: Ambient Lighting Edit Quantity 4 and Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette. I knew I in all probability wasn’t going to get each, and to be sincere, I wasn’t even tempted to. The Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette options six, all-new shades with 5% of income going to help the Nonhuman Rights Venture. SO, it was a no brainer when it got here to deciding which one to get.
The Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette consists of Ambient Lighting Powders in Smooth Gentle and Filtered Gentle, Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Golden Bronze Gentle, Ambient Lighting Blushes in Nude Glow and Temper Flush and Metallic Strobe Lighting Powder in Champagne Strobe Gentle. Hourglass by no means fail me with the standard of their merchandise (powders particularly) so it’s no secret that I’m already in love with this palette. I’ll have a full assessment and swatches of this magnificence up on the weblog later this week.
One other new arrival on this month’s make-up bag: Fenty Magnificence Professional Filt’r Basis. My sister picked up this basis some time in the past however it didn’t work very properly together with her pores and skin sort. I gave it a go, liked the way in which it seemed and felt on my pores and skin, however the shade she picked (#150) was NOT an excellent match for me. From the outline, it appeared like it could work (mild pores and skin with impartial undertones) however there was nothing mild OR impartial about it. By the point I acquired to the workplace, I seemed within the mirror and my pores and skin seemed orange. The end was lovely, however it did seem like I’ve had a pumpkin connected to my neck. Not an excellent look.
I already figured that the Professional Filt’r Basis should oxidize as a result of I might by no means go away my home had it seemed that heat once I first utilized it. I went to Sephora and picked up a lighter shade (#120) additionally described as one that will have a impartial undertone (for honest pores and skin with impartial undertones, to be exact). At first, it seemed a bit too mild, however because it did oxidize after a couple of minutes, it matched my pores and skin higher. Nonetheless, I’m upset to say that once more, there’s nothing “impartial” about its undertones as soon as the product sits on the pores and skin for a couple of minutes. I set it with my favourite Hourglass powder Subtle Gentle– it’s a pale heat yellow, however it doesn’t look heat on my pores and skin in any respect and someway helps to counteract the heat of the Professional Filt’r Basis.
One other basis addition is Maybelline’s Superstay Lengthy-Lasting Full Protection Basis. I used to be SO excited to strive it, however it doesn’t work too properly with my at present dry pores and skin. The plan is to strive it out once more as soon as my pores and skin adjusts to my new treatment and is not so dry. My sister, however, fell in love with it and it appears to work superbly together with her oily pores and skin. She’s truly staying with us and I’ve to say that it’s been SO enjoyable, having her shut and with the ability to raid the sweetness isles collectively and evaluate outcomes. That is in all probability probably the greatest issues about being older- truly getting alongside together with your sister. Sure, we used to “hate” one another’s guts after we had been a lot youthful. 🙂
I additionally lastly acquired my arms on Anastasia’s Cream Contour Palette and I’m a bit of underwhelmed as I anticipated these to be a bit simpler to mix. Marc Jacobs Air Blush Smooth Glow Duo in Flash & Fantasy is a kind of merchandise that I at all times come again to. It’s a fantastic blush for many who don’t love utilizing cheek/blush merchandise. Flesh and Fantasy is ideal for including only a little bit of colour to your complexion.
These new Gel Eyeliners from Esqido*- ahhhmazing. They’re mechanical liners and embody a precision sharpener on the different finish/tip which permits for a pointy and exact utility. These are very creamy, go on clean and are in all probability amongst a number of the long-lasting eyeliners I’ve tried to this point. They don’t smudge, smear or fade all through the day. The colours out there are black and brown.
Again in September, I talked about a few of my favourite lip colours for Fall, and I nonetheless rotate between that bunch. For a extra delicate look, I nonetheless love City Decay’s Hello-Fi Shine Extremely Cushion glosses. Proper now the 2 that I attain for on a regular basis are Midnight Cowgirl and Gasoline. MUFE’s Extremely HD Lip Booster in Gentle Pink is one other lovely, delicate lip product that provides a pleasant, non-sticky gloss. Covergirl Vitalist Lip Oil in Guava Goodness is one other favourite for the “no make-up” make-up because it provides a pleasant shiny end, with out feeling sticky. I really like the method, however I feel it’d work loads higher if it had an applicator that picks up extra product. Sadly, I feel that this lip oil is not out there, which is a disgrace.
