Makeup: Mini Makeup Haul

ILLAMASQUA SKIN BASED CONCEALER

I normally go for Bobbi Brown corrector (£19.00) and creamy concealer kit (£24.50) but I thought I would venture out to a new brand. After browsing around Selfridges Makeup counters, decided to try out Illamasqua counter. This lead to the purchases of Illamasqua skin based lift concealer – Meduim 2 (£17.50).  It lifts and brightens the under eye area whilst providing neutralising colour correction and a buildable coverage. The colours in this concealer range have a peach-base undertone, this is necessity for any under eye brightening, as it corrects dark under eye circles. So this does the exact same as the Bobbi Brown products but is must cheaper and not using two products.

You can see from the photos that it is a great coverage and has great brightening elements.

MAC SKIN MINERALISE SKIN FINISH 'GOLD DEPOSIT'

I have wanted MAC Mineralise Skin Finish ‘Gold Deposit’ (£23.00) for so long now! Look how pretty and pigmented it is, why wouldn’t I love it? It is just so beautiful and perfect for the summer. It is basically a multi-purpose product that is mainly used for highlighting cheeks or bone. However, It can also be used as a blush or eyeshadow or an all over ultra-deluxe.

I prefer to apply this on my cheekbones, to give it a highlighted effect. You can see from the photos how the light is captured on my cheekbones, giving off an skin kissed look.

CLINIQUE CHUBBY STICK - SUPER STRAWBERRY

I purchased this Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm – Super Strawberry (retails at £17.00) in the Glamour Magazine - August edition. This product gives off a sheer reddish finish with a balm effect. This is perfect lip product for those who go the more minimalist look with their makeup. This product is lightweight, hydrating, and leaves color behind that enhances your lips natural pigment without being overly done or garish.
