Sunday is here and boy am I glad to see it!
Anyway to kick start the upcoming week let me share with you my neglected product choices
that I plan on working in with my most used products for a little diversity.
Face
Mac Lightscapade MSF - I seldom reach for this and I know how lusted after this MSF used to be
and can recall how excited I was to finally own it earlier this year. However I find the shade to be a little
ashen and rather difficult to get the balance just right - too light a hand and you see nothing and I mean
nothing...not a sheen, not a gleam...nothing. Yet too heavy a hand and it looses any radiance qualities
and looks ashy so yeah not the best highlighter I have ever encountered.
Mac Bite of an Apple Blush - It's been a while since i've properly worn a red-ish blush
although this is basically a coral blush the red tone is pretty prominent and a step away from
my usual orange/peach cheek choices.
Sisley Instant Perfect - The lack of sunshine is driving me and my skin crazy, while I was away the sun dried up my excess oil problem but now I am home it is back with a vengeance and my make-up is slipping
and sliding all over the place! Let's hope this puts a stop to that.
Eyes
Stila In the Light Eye Palette - I'm back on the eyeshadow wagon and quite some time has passed since I have reached for this truly stunning palette. In the Light has shades that has shades suitable for day wear all the way through to evening, it also has a great mix of matte and shimmer shades so something for everyone!
Lips
Mac Vegas Volt - It pains me to admit that I often plan to use this shade, slick it on and then wipe it off deeming it to be too bright for everyday wear but I really do need to mix it up a little and step away from my usual brown based pinks!
Mac Reel Sexy - I know this was quite the hit when it launched a few months ago but it hasn't
received much love from me since which is a same as I do love a good orange/pink based Coral lipstick.
So that is my choices for the week, what about yours?
I should probably dig out my Lightscapade MSF and put it to some use too! I think the trick is to use a more dence brush to get any kind of result!
ReplyDeleteMy most neglected items are probably my MSF's as I seem to collect them but never use them!x
I'm the same I buy them, use them a few times and completely neglect them...not good!
DeleteAhhhh, I love both lipsticks! Need to start wearing mine x
ReplyDeleteI bet they look fab on you!
DeleteWow all these products are amazing. I always try to play with all my makeup products by keeping them all in a way that makes me.. I usually don't use the same thing two days in a row. I love that Stila palette by the way it looks beautiful

That is amazing! I'm stuck in a make-up rut so I must take a leaf out of your book :)
DeleteThat In The Light palette is beautiful! I've been neglecting lipsticks of late - I think I need to get back into it! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you :) i'm the same I need to get more things into regular rotation!
DeleteLightscapade looks beautiful, as does the Stila palette! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree about the msf, I have loads but always go back to using by candlelight by mac. I dont ever use stereo rose etither although its lovely.
ReplyDeleteStereo Rose is my ultimate favourite...I wish they would re-promote it!

ReplyDeleteLove the look of the Stila eyeshadows. Look fab. And those lipsticks are gorgeous. Have you tried them with lipbalm underneath to lighten the intensity of the tone?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, no I haven't I really should :) thanks for the tip!
DeleteThis Stila Palette looks lovely, I really need to start using my Sleek eyeshadows more as they're great quality and nice shades!

It is so beautiful...worth the investment :)
Deletethe palette looks divine! lusting after mac lipsticks reeeeel bad. ;)
ReplyDeletehaha I liked that :)
DeleteStila palette... Reminds me of Naked. I think I'm using Sleek Au Naturel this week... Or maybe Paraguaya! Who knows tomorrow!! XD
ReplyDeletehaha who knows indeed ;)
DeleteGreat choices but such a shame about Lightscapade! :/ X
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I wish I liked it more than I do!
DeleteI've been lusting over that Stila palette, but I just think its too similar to the Naked palette for me to justify having both ha! I also went gaga over the Lighscapade MSF, but I never got around to picking it up. Really glad now since you said you don't really fancy it! I'm SO picky with highlighters, I just can never find one that looks decent. Let me know if you have any recommendations, I always value your opinion :) xx
ReplyDeleteHaha yes they are really similar :) have you tried benefit sunbeam? I'm currently testing it but LOVE it...a review will be up soon :)
Deletegreat picks! I'm really wanting the In the Light palette :)
ReplyDeleteTruthfully it is worth every penny :)
DeleteVegas volt is actually really good for everyday wear, you just need to get used to it! lol
ReplyDeletehaha you are very right!
