Here at The Glamourelle, you all know I love a good dupe. I don't believe in paying well over the odds for a product if a cheaper alternative is available. When this little gem arrived at my doorstep, to say I was excited would be an understatement!

When Urban Decay released the Naked 3 palette in 2013, many people were doubtful over how much use they would get out of the rose-toned neutrals. This is a completely understandable worry for two reasons - if you're a fan of golds and browns, it's quite a step up, and secondly, the Naked palettes are on the expensive side. What I recommend to people who say that they're somewhat afraid of going for a palette like the Naked 3, is to get a good dupe and experiment with the colours before investing a lot of money on the real deal.

I've tried quite a selection of Naked 3 dupes, and this one is by far the best I've ever tried, both in terms of colour match and overall quality and pigmentation. It is the I Heart Makeup I Heart Obsession palette in 'Pure Cult.' It's an absolute doppleganger for the Naked 3 - so let's do a more in-depth comparison and some swatches!

My Ultimate Louboutin Red Lipsticks!

I wouldn't say I'm a fussy person when it comes to makeup. I like to experiment and branch out. Usually in the comfort of my own bedroom, but perhaps one day my orange eyeshadows will see the light of day...
However, one thing I am particularly fussy about is red lipstick. I mentioned this recently in a blog post, but I thought it would be apt to expand on it further and show you my ultimate red lipsticks.
I like my red lipsticks how I like the bottom of my shoes - Louboutin red!

I'm sure you all know from reading my blog that I'm a huge fan of Christian Louboutin shoes - I've got two pairs and I exclusively refer to them as my babies. I just love the shade of red that Mr Louboutin is famous for, so I love finding a good red lipstick that will match them happily.
Let's take a further look at my top picks, shall we?

Beauty Favourites Of 2014!

Happy New Year! I honestly can't believe how fast 2014 went - it seems like only yesterday we were in 2013.
I've spent the past few days whittling down my makeup collection to compile a list of my ultimate make-up picks of the year. I've taken inspiration from the lovely Vivianna Does Makeup and used her categories to list my choices for the best beauty items of 2014.
2014 was a fantastic year makeup-wise, particularly for us Irish gals. Many of the world's most popular beauty brands made their way to our shores, including Charlotte Tilbury, NYX, Physician's Formula and Wet'N'Wild, to name but a few.
If you've read my blog at any point since I made it last June, I'm sure you'll recognise some of these products - I tend to blog about my loves immediately so many of these items won't come as a surprise. So let's get straight to business: (Wait! One more thing - swatches of everything is at the bottom of the post!)

Base:

• Best Primer: My primer of 2014 is the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, without a doubt. I've got incredibly oily skin and I have never found a primer as long-lasting as this little guy. It feels light and velvety, keeping my skin matte and my foundation in place. Love, love, love!
• Best Lightweight Foundation: NARS Sheer Matte. Although marketed as a sheer foundation, it's most certainly a buildable choice that you can make into a medium coverage if you wish. I chose it for my lightweight foundation as that's my preferred way of wearing it - it's so natural yet flawless, with fantastic longevity. It's a pricey base choice but in my opinion it is definitely worth investing in. 
• Best Full Coverage Foundation: I'm giving this prize to Maybelline Better Skin Superstay Foundation. I bought this back in June and it is my top foundation of the year, dare I say it. The coverage is nothing short of flawless, it feels light on your skin and blends in seamlessly. It's most definitely the best foundation I've ever come across at the drugstore. 
• Best Tinted Moisturiser: I'm not the biggest fan of tinted moisturisers, however I discovered the Stila Oil Free Sheer Tinted Moisturiser about two years ago and it has become a staple for me in the summer when my skin is clear and behaving itself. It's incredibly sheer but it can be built up to a nice light coverage with two or three layers. The formula is very light so there's no worry that it's going to cake up. It's very long lasting so it's an excellent option for the summer time when you don't need much coverage anyway.
• Best Concealer: No prizes for guessing what I've chosen here - of course, MAC Pro Longwear Concealer! I went through two of them this year, and got a new one for Christmas to keep me going for 2015. There are no concealers on the market that compare to it - it's ideal for highlighting under the eyes as well as covering blemishes. I've also started using it as an eyeshadow base and it works better than any primer I own! 
• Best Powder: Again, no surprise here - my beloved MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural. As you can tell from the picture above, it's very well loved! It'll have to be my first beauty purchase of 2015. I would describe this powder as a filter for your face - it just glides over the skin and banishes any imperfections with a light dusting. It has a light coverage so you can even use it on its own with a bit of concealer if you want a natural makeup look. I don't think I will ever find a powder that will overtake my love for this little guy! 
• Best Bronzer: Michael Kors Bronze Powder in Gleam. I love a bronzer with a good sheen to it, no chunky glitter. It's a stunning true bronze with a hint of gold, which is complimentary on every skin tone imaginable. The powder is very finely milled and delivers the most beautiful bronzed sheen to the skin. It's really the only non-matte bronzer that I reach for in my collection.
• Best Blush: I am awarding this to MAC's Dainty blush. It's part of their mineralise range, and is a stunning pink with a golden shimmer, but like the Michael Kors bronzer, it gives a sheen rather than becoming a thick glittery mess on your skin. This is my go-to blush as it looks beautiful paired with any eye and lip look, it's so effortless. 
• Best Contour: I'd like to say Laguna by NARS as I'm obsessed, but I don't think it's a fair pick as I've only had it for the last month or so. Hence, the award is going to NYC's Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny. It's the most fantastic contour shade as it's completely matte and is a true golden-bronze, not an orange or muddy brown. It's not too intensely pigmented, so you have great control with it and applying it is a breeze. It's also as cheap as chips, so there's no room for complaint here.
• Best Highlighter: This was a complete no brainer for me. Without a doubt, my highlighter of 2014 is Makeup Revolution's The One Blush Stick in Dream. It is the most stunning, pearlescent pink highlight that is so natural yet striking. I reviewed the whole collection of Blush Sticks, which you can view here. I love Dream because the formula is just outstanding - it has a cream to powder effect and you are in complete control of how it looks on your cheeks - you can apply it sheerly or apply it heavily for an intense highlight.

Eyes:

• Best Brow Product: Benefit's Gimme Brow has been my favourite brow launch of the year. I've found that this year in particular, every reputable makeup brand has stepped up their brow game, but I really think Benefit were on to a winner with this product. It's a brow gel that emulates the look of real hairs so you can have a natural looking brow that isn't sparce. I tend to use this on its own if I'm too lazy to do a full face of makeup with defined brows, and it gives my brows a nice bit of definition without looking like a huge amount of effort went into doing them. I will most definitely be repurchasing this.
• Best Eye Primer: I've raved about this primer countless times here on my blog, it's the Essence I Heart Stage Eye Base. I've used this for about two years now and no other primer comes close to it for me. It has a slight tint to it so it eliminates any discolouration or veining on your lids to provide you with a smooth blank canvas to apply your eyeshadow on top of. 
• Best Single Eyeshadow: I chose Givenchy's Mono Eyeshadow in Modish Brown. I did a full in depth review of it here which you can refer to for swatches and more detail. It's basically a single eyeshadow, a light chocolate brown, that is divided into four squares to give you four finishes. Fairly suave, non? It's so versatile and as you know, I'm a packaging junkie so I adore the classy Givenchy casing. I'm also a fan of a good magnetic closure, so this is an all rounder by my standards.
• Best Eyeshadow Palette: I don't think will come as a surprise to any of you. Charlotte Tilbury's Dolce Vita eyeshadow palette - also known as the make-up love of my life (well, maybe my second as I think my Tom Ford lipstick has won my heart...). Like my Givenchy eyeshadow, I've done a full in-depth review of the palette with swatches which you can view here.  Charlotte Tilbury Cosmetics took the beauty world by storm in 2014, and this product is a true testament as to why she is fast becoming the queen of makeup.
• Best Eyeshadow Stick: I actually had a few in mind for this category, but my winner is the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. NYX launched in Ireland this year and Milk was near impossible to get until about a month after it launched! Anyway, it's the perfect opaque white eyeshadow base or eyeliner that is so versatile. I love to put it under my eyeshadows to really intensify them and improve their longevity. It also looks fabulous as an eyeliner on the waterline.
• Best Eye Pencil: My go-to eye pencil of the year has been the Chanel Intense Eye Pencil in Noir. I read countless reviews of how excellent this one was, so I decided to step away from my beloved Rimmel eye kohl and give this one a whirl. It was most definitely worth it! It's the most long-wearing, intense black eye pencil I have ever tried. It's completely smudge resistant and doesn't budge at all. It's ideal for the tightline as it doesn't transfer at all.
• Best Mascara: The winner here is the Kiko Ultra Tech mascara. This is another firm love that I was introduced to this year when I went to Italy. We don't have Kiko here in Ireland and at €3, I had to snap this mascara up. It's an excellent volumising mascara that is clump free and adds a false-lash effect to your eyelashes. I didn't get the waterproof formula but it doesn't smudge or dry incredibly hard, it's a very comfortable mascara to wear. It's the best I've tried in a while, without a doubt!

Lips:

• Best Lip Balm: I'm awarding this to the famous EOS lip balms. My younger sister is a massive fan of them - her collection proudly boasts over 20 of them! My collection, however, is a little more demure and holds six different flavours. They all smell divine -my personal favourite is Summer Fruits- and they're incredibly moisturising without leaving a greasy residue behind. Their egg shape makes application a dream, and also quite fun! They're a handbag essential for me - I can't be without my little egg lip balms!
• Best Lip Gloss: I found myself scratching my head a little on which lip gloss to choose - it made me come to the realisation that I've definitely been neglecting glossy lips recently! Anyway, I concluded that the best gloss I've tried all year has to be the NYX Butter Gloss in Peaches and Cream. The name is a little misleading as it's certainly not peach - it's a true pink colour that's highly pigmented. It smells like vanilla, almost similar to the MAC lipsticks, and is very buttery - and ultimately true to its name! I plan on trying more colours this year, so let me know if you've any recommendations.
• Best Lip Pencil: An absolute no brainer for me - MAC's Soar lip pencil. Kylie Jenner took over the beauty world with her lip lining techniques, and when it was confirmed that Soar was her weapon of choice, there was not a Soar pencil to be found at any MAC counter. I've used mine non-stop since October - I think I've worn perhaps five make-up looks without it! It's the most versatile lip pencil in my collection, it works well with every lip colour under the sun. I particularly like to put it under light pink lipsticks, it makes them much more flattering and adds a lovely deep tone. If you only have one lip pencil in your life, it has to be this one! 
• Best Nude Lipstick: I've chosen my Essence Stay Matte Lip Cream in Soft Nude. I'm not the biggest fan of nude lipsticks, so as you'll see from the swatches below, this is more a mauve-toned nude. I would go as far as saying this is one of my all-time favourite lip colours - the formula is impeccable, it has fantastic staying power and it doesn't feel drying on your lips, nor does it sit into any dry areas on your lips. The smell is slightly off putting, it smells like very sweet marshmallows, which can be overpowering after a while but it's worth it for such a beautiful lip colour, in my opinion!
• Best Bold Lipstick: My favourite bold lippie of 2014 has got to be MAC's Dodgy Girl lipstick. It was part of May's Kelly Osbourne collection, and it's a matte lilac which is absolutely beautiful, as you can see below. Even though this is the bold lipstick category, I think it's worth mentioning that this lipstick can easily be made into a wearable one by simply adding a slightly darker gloss. It's a true winner that I love in my collection!

And finally, that is everything that I have been loving in 2014! Wishing you all a very Happy New Year - here's to plenty more favourites posts!

New Launches From Make-Up Revolution!

Makeup Revolution is fast becoming my favourite drugstore makeup brand - they're constantly releasing the most incredible, high quality makeup at exceptional prices. I recently got a package of all their new launches, which I'm going to be sharing with you today. These gorgeous new items would be perfect additions to your stocking wish-list or even if you're still on the hunt for some Christmas gifts! So let's take a closer look:

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush And Contour Palette in Golden Sugar, £6.00

How beautiful is this palette?! It's hands-down the most stunning collection of face powders I've ever seen! The palette has a variety of highlighters, blushes and bronzers which will compliment all skin tones. The pay-off of the powders is impeccable - they're not too glittery, they just have the perfect amount of shimmer. They have also included one matte bronzer, so you really can't ask for any more!
Some of the shades remind me of some of MAC's most famous Mineralise products too! The second from the left on the top is incredibly similar to MAC's Dainty blush, and the second from the right on the bottom reminds me of the famous Soft And Gentle highlighter. The powders have the perfect consistency, they're not too chunky or chalky, they really smooth over the skin. I couldn't recommend this palette enough, it's an absolute steal at £6!

This photograph doesn't even do the colours justice. To be honest, I actually prefer the highlighters in this palette to my MAC highlighters, which are about triple the price of the entire palette!



The One Fluid Blusher in Rush Me, £3.00

Makeup Revolution recently launched a whole collection of The One Blush Sticks, which I absolutely loved (you can read my review of the entire collection here!), so I couldn't wait to see how this compared. When you apply it to your face, it immediately feels velvety on your skin and dries to a powder finish. It feels amazing! The colour is absolutely beautiful, it's a fantastic dupe for NARS' Orgasm blush.
It lasts so well, with or without setting powder. There's also a fabulous range of colours to choose from, so be sure to take a look on the Makeup Revolution website to find one to suit you!
They're all also budge-proof and waterproof, so there's no complaints with this product either!













Makeup Revolution Ultra Aqua Brow in Medium, £3.00

When I first opened this product, I was instantly reminded of the Makeup Forever Aqua Brow, which I have always heard rave reviews about.
However it's fairly pricey so to find a drugstore alternative is fantastic! This applies so creamy and smoothly into the brows and defines and shapes them so well. It's so easy to work with, which I was surprised by as I don't have much experience with working with these types of brow products. The tube also allows you to squeeze out a really precise amount of product to completely minimise wastage. I like to apply this using Real Technique's Brow Brush, as it's synthetic and it's really easy to clean after using cream products.

Makeup Revolution The Viper Mascara, £3.00

I have never seen a mascara wand like this before! It does actually look like a snake head! The best way I could describe the wand is that it's like a little spoon! It catches all of your lashes so that they're evenly coated. giving you the most incredibly volumised and full lashes. The only mascara I can think of that has a brush with a similar design is the Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama mascara, but I hated how the wand was flexible. I think this is much more effective as the wand is stiff. It's completely budge-proof and is the blackest of black. The price of this mascara is exceptional, considering it's better than most high-end mascaras!

Makeup Revolution Iconic Dreams Palette, £4.00

Yes you read that price correctly, this little beauty is just £4! This collection of stunning bronzes, golds and greens is highly pigmented and so easy to work with. The colours blend so seamlessly and the finish of the eyeshadows are so beautiful. I think this is a perfect addition to your makeup bag for the Christmas party season as it's so versatile. You get four matte shades and the rest are shimmery, which I love as I only really use matte shades to highlight and to define the crease. The formula of these shadows also means that there's no need to wear a primer as they just stay in place effortlessly. This is also an excellent stocking filler if you're still doing some Christmas shopping!!

So they are the fantastic new releases from Makeup Revolution! Let me know what you think of them, I'm loving them!

New In: Makeup Revolution The One Blush Sticks

Makeup Revolution are really packing a punch with their new launches at the moment! They have just come out with these brand new colour sticks that can be used on your lips and cheeks, similar to the famous NARS Multiples, only at a mere fraction of the price.

The range consists of eight shades - four mattes and four shimmery. For every matte shade in the collection, there is a corresponding shimmery one. I absolutely love the packaging - the matte shades have a gorgeous, sleek matte container, and the shimmery colours' packaging has a glossy finish. 

 You can use the sticks dry for high-intensity, vibrant colour, or wet for a sheer wash of colour. 

The consistency of these blush sticks is impeccable - they apply so smoothly and they're incredibly creamy. They feel really soft and they blend like a dream, you don't even need a brush to blend them -  a light tap of your finger is enough to blend the product out. They don't budge throughout the day or look patchy. The wear is absolutely incredible! They're also only £5 each. Are you in love yet?!

Let's take a closer look at each shade:

• Matte Malibu:  this is a seriously good dupe for NARS' Laguna Multiple! It's almost a terracotta shade, it's quite dark. It's the perfect contour shade for getting those really sculpted, Kim Kardashian-esque cheekbones. When I first applied it, I thought it was very dark on my skin, but when I blended it out with a damp makeup sponge, it looked beautiful. I would definitely recommend using it wet to get the best result!
• Matte Pink: this is a beautiful bubblegum pink with a blue undertone. It makes the most stunning blush shade - it gives a beautiful pink flush to the skin without being too harsh. On the lips, it's smooth and doesn't dry the lips at all. It reminds me of Snob by MAC.
• Matte Rush: Matte Rush is my favourite of all the matte shades! It's the most stunning coral colour, that looks equally incredible on the lips and cheeks. The only coral blush I have aside from this one is Sephora's Coral Crush, which is just too shimmery for daily use. Matte Rush is the perfect everyday colour that really injects the right amount of colour onto the cheeks. I personally prefer wearing all these products on the cheeks as opposed to the lips, but this particular colour will look incredible in the spring/summer time.
• Matte Dream: This is such a unique colour that I'm so glad I can add into my collection. It's the most breathtaking pale baby doll pink, which is just so striking on the cheeks. As my skin is on the paler side, I don't use this on my lips as it emulates the dreaded concealer lip look on me.

• Dream: this is my favourite shade of the whole collection! It is the nicest highlighter I own, it's a very pale, pink toned highlight. I love using it as an inner corner highlight as well as on the tops of my cheekbones and under the brow bone. What I love about it, as well as the other shades, is that you are in complete control as to how it looks - you can choose to wear it sheerly or really build it up for an intense colour. If you only check out one shade in this range, it has to be Dream!
• Malibu: Malibu is quite a dark, warm toned brown. It's obviously not suitable for contouring as it is a satin finish, but used lightly, it looks beautiful to give a warm glow to the face. If you're on the paler side, I would definitely recommend using a light hand with this product as a little goes a long way and it can look quite overwhelming on paler skin tones if you're not careful.
• Pink: I absolutely love this blue-toned bubblegum pink! On the lips it reminds me of Snob by MAC, as it has that same satin finish. On the cheeks I would compare it to Dandelion by Benefit, just perhaps a slight bit darker and cooler. It's not even a fraction of the price of both of those products, and you can get the same effect of both in one convenient tube. Win-win if you ask me!
• Rush: Rush is the best dupe I have ever come across for Orgasm by NARS! It has the same finish, colour pay-off and formula. It's a beautiful warm pink with golden shimmer. If you've ever wanted to try Orgasm by NARS, be sure to pick this little guy up - I'm in love with it!

For me, these products are faultless. Their performance and quality really rival premium brands that offer the same products at crazy prices. Makeup Revolution is fast becoming the drugstore makeup brand to watch!

Let me know what you think of the Makeup Revolution Blush Sticks!

Halloween Fix: Makeup Revolution Atomic Lipsticks!

With Halloween on Friday, I thought it would be the perfect time to share these incredible new lipsticks from Makeup Revolution!
These out-there lipstick shades will be a perfect way to finish off your costume for Friday, as they're certainly eye catching colours! Even after Halloween, I think these are quite similar to some of the famous Lime Crime lipsticks, just significantly cheaper.

The collection consists of 5 explosive shades - just look at that colour payoff! I accept these are not the most wearable of shades, however I always think it's fun to have some wacky colours in your collection to play around with!
My personal favourite is Atomic Serpent - I just love the colour and how unusual it is!
The application of these little guys is very impressive, as with all Makeup Revolution products. I didn't use a lip pencil for the darker shades, but I used Cherry lip pencil by MAC with Atomic Ruby because I find reds can be a little messy unless you line your lips beforehand.

The quality of the lipsticks is impeccable, which is fantastic news as they're so inexpensive. They're a great way to spruce up your Halloween look without having to compromise on quality.
They apply so smoothly, and feel creamy and buttery on the lips. They have a bit of a glossy feel to them, but they aren't sticky or anything like that.
I would definitely recommend prepping your lips before applying them to get the best effect - I like to use my EOS mint lip balm before application!

Even though I would recommend these wholeheartedly for Halloween, I would definitely check out the purple and red colours for night-time looks, as I think they would look stunning all year around. Perhaps not the green though!!

The Makeup Revolution Atomic Lipsticks are just £1 each and are available from Superdrug or the Makeup Revolution website. 

Let me know what you think of these gorgeous lipsticks!

Halloween Makeup: Makeup Revolution's Give Them Nightmares Palette!

With Halloween fast approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to share this new palette with you to get in the spirit. Introducing... Makeup Revolution's Give Them Nightmares eyeshadow palette!
It contains 18 Halloween themed eyeshadows, with 12 shimmery shades and 6 mattes.
The palette is packed full of deep blues, greens, purples and blacks that are perfect for whatever Halloween look you desire.

Like all Makeup Revolution products, the quality of this palette is phenomenal. The shadows are long-wearing, buttery smooth and highly pigmented. Each shadow performs beautifully, with little fall-out and no creasing.
The palette provides the key matte shades needed for any Halloween look, and gives a fabulous variety of shimmery shades for whoever you decide to be this Halloween!

All the shadows have really cute Halloween themed names, and the palette is the perfect size for travelling too.

Here are swatches of all the shimmery shades in the palette. They are stunning aren't they?! They're also the perfect transitional shades to wear for Christmas parties once you get your Halloween looks out of the way!

And here are the matte shades! They're six essential shades for any Halloween look. They can also be doubled up to be used as special effects colours, for example you can mix the purple and blue under your eyes to create very dramatic under eye circles!









Next week I will have lots of Halloween make-up looks to share with you so stay tuned for that! Some of the looks I created using this palette included Elsa from Frozen, a glamorous vampire and a zombie. Quite different looks, yes, but all very easy to do with this one handy palette!

The Give Them Nightmare palette retails for £6.00, which is an absolute bargain in my opinion! And as I said previously, it's not just a Halloween exclusive palette, the deep shimmery shades will also look incredible for Christmas looks too! It's available from Superdrug or online at http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/

Make sure to keep an eye out for my Halloween looks next week using this palette - and if you have any suggestions of looks I should do, make sure to let me know!

The Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette: I Heart Makeup's Make-Up Geek Palette!

Today I'm bringing you quite possibly one of the best eyeshadow palettes I've ever had. This is the I Heart Makeup Makeup Geek palette, which consists of 36 incredibly pigmented, buttery eyeshadows suitable for any look you can think of.

The only reservation I tend to have about larger eyeshadow palettes is whether I will get use out of all the colours, as sometimes I find that brands will add shades that are too similar just for the sake of filling out a palette. This is certainly not the case here, I have actually used every single shade in the palette since I received it about two weeks ago!

The pigmentation of the palette is impeccable - the shadows are so smooth and buttery.
The palette is prodominantly shimmery shadows. As you can see from the swatches, they are everything you'd want from shimmery colours. They're glittery without containing chunky pieces of glitter that will mess up your application, and they're not dusty.

There's no fallout at all with these colours, even with the darkest of shades in the palette.

The staying power is also without fault - when I trialled them without primer, they didn't crease or move at all after 6 hours wear! That's majorly impressive in my books!

I haven't even told you the best part yet, the price. This little guy retails for £7.99. Yes you read that correctly - £7.99! I don't even need to sell this palette to you any further.

I always like to comment on the product's packaging too - I really like how compact this palette is. It's unusual for a palette that holds so many shadows to be so well compressed while still giving a generous amount of product. It's also great for travelling, the palette itself is very sturdy, the mirror is huge and you could pop your brush into the space where the sponge-tip applicators are.

I genuinely couldn't recommend the Makeup Geek palette enough. I have absolutely no qualms about it - I can't give you one negative criticism on it.

I also featured this in a blog post last week to create a matte brown smoky eye so you can take a look at that here.
You can purchase this palette online at http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/heartmakeup/eyes/slogans/i-makeup-slogan-palette-makeup-geek.html and at Superdrug, you can find out if I Heart Makeup is stocked at your local Superdrug by checking the website above!

What do you think of the palette? Let me know!

Make-Up Of The Day: Matte Brown Smoky Eyes!

The autumnal make-up is in full swing! Today's Make-Up Of The Day is a matte brown smoky eye paired with nude lips and lots of contouring and highlighting! It's such a simple look to recreate, and I think it looks beautiful with any lip colour.
I can see this being my go-to look for the autumn time!

                                         

                                                   FACE

• Beauty UK Prime FX Foundation Primer
• Maybelline Better Skin Foundation in 30 Sand
• Mememe Cosmetics Flawless Concealer in 05 Beige
• Sleek Face Form Kit in Fair

                                                    EYES

• Beauty UK Prime FX Eyeshadow Primer
• Paese Cosmetics Kashmir Eyeshadow in 671 
• I Heart Make-Up 'Make-Up Geek' Eyeshadow Palette (stars beside colours used!)
• NYX Jumbo Pencil in 'Milk'
• W7 Souffle Mascara
• Stila Major Lash Mascara

 The white stars indicate the colours I used! They're just three basic colours really - a dark matte brown, a matte black and a shimmery white to use as a highlight in the inner corners. I thought the shimmery highlight looked beautiful in contrast to the matte eyes.

                                                       LIPS

• Michael Kors Lip Lacquer in Diva
• Mememe Cosmetics Light Me Up Lip Gloss in 02 Illuminate 

I will have more in depth reviews on some of these products coming soon, and I've already reviewed some of them, which you can read by clicking the name of the product! 

What's your go-to look for autumn?
