Again rather than sticking with set products this week i'm including products that I hope to use
in with my regular most reached for items...it keeps things fun this way.
Well for me anyway!
Eyes
Wet n Wild Greed Palette
I always mean to use this but seldom do, which is a shame as it has lovely neutral shades
that work really well with my oddly coloured eyes (blue/green).
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Admittedly I'm not a fan but so many claim this is a great base
on me it is really stark but I will stick with it and attempt to get it to work for me.
Sleek Lash Out Mascara
I totally forgot I owned this...this ladies and gents is why a huge make-up collection isn't needed!
A really good lengthening mascara, lacks the drama for nights out etc but good for everyday use.
Face
Accessorize Baked Bronze in Laguna
Very similar to Mac MSF's in finish and texture.
I actually really like this duo especially the deeper section yet forget to rotate it into my daily wear.
Now it is not frowned upon to be tanned I will be brushing this on with such gusto haha!
Mac Optimistic Orange Cremeblend Blush
This is one of those shades that scares the bejesus out of you in pan form
but applied it is a lovely flush of peachy goodness that works so well with medium/tan tones.
I can see this being my summer to go to shade!
Nars Deep Throat
Sorry ladies I don't understand the fuss about this shade?
Don't get me wrong it is nice enough but not something I reach for I much prefer Torrid.
I'm going to try wear this shade this week and hopefully fall head over heels with it,
just don't hold your breath!
Lips
Nars Chelsea Girls Lip Lacquer
This shade is divine but lord is it sticky!
I can't wear this when it's windy or I head up with more hair on my lips than any non-bearded
woman should ever have!
Note to self only use when sporting a top knot!
New Cid I-Gloss in Baby Doll
I got this in a sample box a few months back, used it a few times and banished it to the drawer
of make-up doom i.e the unused drawer.
However I feel I was a little hasty as layered over a similar shade of lipstick it gives me lips that
a porn star would be truly jealous of...I kid obviously!
Mac Beach Sand Lipstick
The main problem I have with this shade is that it is eerily similar to my skin tone
so when worn alone it looks like I have no lips and no-one really wants that!
I figure that I could mix this with a pink shade or a gloss and get some wear out of it?
So that is my choices that I hope to use this week,
have you tried rotating your make-up recently?
I love Deep Throat, but Torrid is amazing also! Love them both :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to love Deep Throat but so far it is a bit mehhh...love the new avi by the way :)
Deletei love the Sunday Stash! i may have to wait til my make up collection grows a little more to begin rotating my makeup, but i love reading your weekly choices!

DeleteThink i've just fallen in love with the Wet n Wild palette !! x
ReplyDeleteIt's a great palette I feel so bad for not using it as much as I should!
DeleteI use Sleek Rose Gold now, but I am definitely going to buy Nars Deep Throat :)
ReplyDeleteI love sleek rose gold :) I think you'd like deep throat :)
DeleteI love Chelsea Girl, but I know what you mean about the stickiness - strictly for hair up days only! That Wet n Wild palette looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThey are so bloody sticky aren't they! It's a fab selection of shades you can pick them up on ebay for under £5 :)
DeleteLove the look of the Accesorize bronzer x

I love when you do these posts! I have thinking about doing one like this on my own blog too! You will be the first to know if/when I do!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to know if you wanted to be tagged in my fashion tag I created? It will be up either this week or in a couple weeks, but it has questions like *favorite designer *describe your style *where do you like to shop for clothes *5 favorite fashion items you own and a couple other. Let me know! If anybody else wants to participate come over to my blog and comment! I am trying to get everyone involved so at least a couple people will do the tag!
Thank you so much :) yes let me know I'd love a read :)
DeleteAhh thank you but i'm no fashionista haha :)
Great choices! I feel the same about "Deep Throat", it's a pretty shade but I didn't love it. I have "Torrid" and think it's gorgeous though X
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I feel :) glad i'm not alone haha :)
DeleteJust want to say i read your blog everyday and that i have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award!

Thanks x
Thank you so much Jordanne :)
DeleteI've chosen W'n'w Lust palette, Prestige total intensity eyeliner in purple and grey and some cream blushes I seldom use... Obviously I have chosen some lipstick: Ellis Faas L207 (maybe you would like it), Guerlain gloss stick in Plum and Nyx Electra.
ReplyDeleteI'm really intrigued by your lipstick choice we don't get Ellis Faas here so I must investigate :)
DeleteI love Deep Throat - but if you say Torrid is better - oh lord, get me to a Nars counter pronto! xxx
ReplyDeleteBe careful the Nars counter has the ability to bankrupt quite like no other! Haha :)
Deletethat orange blush is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI need Deep Throat xxx
ReplyDeletewww.misslv.com
I honestly think it would look beautiful with your skin tone :)
DeleteI've tried to incorporate ignored makeup but it's hard when I've just come out of a shopping ban!
ReplyDeleteI say enjoy your well deserved new goodies :)
DeleteThe NARS lippie look so pretty! Shame about the stickiness, but I guess the upside is that is probably lasts longer, and I bet if you eat a caramel apple with it on you won't even feel the stickiness of the caramel!
ReplyDeleteHmm, me thinks I need to try that Accesorize baked bronzer. :) x
