This is me! OOTD

Outfit of the day was a white vest dress with my grey baggy long line top from topshop. I was hoping it was going to be warm but the sun wasn't playing so i added my black long line cardie.

Black leather cuff which i purchased on my hols for 10 Euros which i love to bits.

Black belt from primark

Sandals from Primark last year. I love these they are super comfy and go with everything

Face wise i am making the most of my tan as it fades so fast. I'm wearing a tinted moisturiser with lots of mascara and some serious highlighting on my cheeks.

As i said serious highlighting lol. I used my Mac Shell cream colour base as a highlighter and Nars Sin as my blusher. Love these two together.

The cheapest Highlighter on the Block !

After my huge reaction on yesterdays post i thought i'd do a follow up with the cheapest highlighter on the block post about the W7 highlighter which looks to be an atempted copy of the famous Too Faced Pink Leopoard. Yes this too is just £1.99 from savers.

W7 Africa £1.99

Comes with a small flat brush in cardboard square packaging

Left: Too Faced Pink Leopard / Right: W7 Africa

When i first swatched this on my hand i wasn't overly impressed it came out a peachy tone which didnt look particularly exciting and not as shimmery as the too faced one and lighter in colour.

But when i applied it to my face i loved it. Really pretty highlighter slightly golden in tone and so easy to apply.

W7 Africa applied on cheeks

Close up you can see there is no chunky glitter

So again a fantastic bargain price for a really decent quality highlighter.
Let me just say they are not exactly the same, the swatches on my hand came out quite different but i couldn't capture it on camera.
Bearing in mind the snow leopard costs over £20 and this is just £1.99 i think its still a pretty good buy.
What do you think?

MAC Cream Colour Base Shell !

Happy Friday ladies! I thought I'd show you my favourite Mac highlighter that i use a lot. Its nothing new in fact i seem to have had this forever but its one of my most used Mac products as its so versatile.
Sometimes i think we all concentrated a bit too much on the latest product out there when the real gems are sat in our makeup bags. I've used this product for years and it never disappoints me. Surely that is the ultimate test?

Mac Shell

The product is a pale beige with a pinky tone. Unblended it looks very frosty and shimmery. I get lots of comments when i wear this as a highlighter. RRP £13.50

When blended in it gives a beautiful sheen to the cheekbones. I like to apply this with my fingers or sometimes a brush.
The colour is so pretty that i often use it as a highlighter on my brow bone or in the inner corners of my eyes on a night out. I also sometimes add a tiny amount to the cupids bow on my top lip to give a bit of an oomph to my lips.

I also think the price is quite good as it lasts so long. I love to glow and i don't feel right with a totally matte face. I hate full on shimmer as well so this is the perfect medium for me.
What do you think? Do you have any of the Cream bases from Mac? Tell me your favourite highlighter.

Too Faced Leopard Love !

This review is so overdue. I brought this little trio of treats when i was on holiday in Vegas and it has become one of my most daily used products.
I love the fact that it contains a bronzer, blusher and highlighter all in the one space and each individual powder is beautiful on its own or mixed with the others.

My Well used trio!

Peach Leopard: A soft peachy, bronze colour that is surprisingly natural even though it has a lovely glow.
Candy Leopard: A pretty Pink girly blush that gives a natural flush to the cheeks.
Pink leopard: A gorgeous highlighter speckled with bronze & pink which is just gorgeous.

I am wearing a dusting of the bronzer on my forehead, nose and jaw, the blusher on my cheeks and the highlighter over the top here.

Selling at ASOS for £24.50 here

If i go away anywhere this and my naked palette together make travelling light easy and the more i use these the more i like them. Have you tried any of these three products?

Mac Cham Pale Rose Ole !

Hi there ladies, i have been really good at controlling my spending with the gorgeous Cham Pale collection from Mac and i have only purchased 1 item. The Rose Ole highlighting powder.

The powder is a gold /pink champagne colour which feels buttery smooth. I'm so pleased i chose this product.

As with most highlighters it's pretty hard to capture on camera but you can get a good idea from these snaps.

The powder is shimmery but it's quite delicate, no big lumps of glitter it's really smooth and blends effortlessly

I've applied a little on top of my shadow in the crease to add a subtle shimmer. I'm sure it will be beautiful over a pale eyeshadow. Creams, pinks, whites, neutrals.
I've checked the website and it's sold out so I'm glad i picked this up when i did.
Did you guys pick up anything from the collection?
