Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow - The Rare Find

So this was a one off buy for me, I haven't really tried many products from bareminerals in the past and I have heard good things about their eye shadows  When I went up to the make-up counter I was drawn to their supernatural collection for two reasons:

• Supernatural TV programme, as well as the fact that I love that sort of theme in anything really
• the colours were stunning and I had to swatch them

So the palette that I ended up buying is called 'The Rare Find' which includes four different colours. The cream one is the only colour that I was let down by, it is called 'Lost For Words'. Now this would actually be a nice colour if my skin wasn't the exact same colour, therefore it does not show up or look at different, I would think that people with darker skin than me (the majority of the population) would work with it just fine. The golden colour is called 'Surreal' now this is really pigmented and such a wonderful colour, it works well as a highlight or an overall eye colour, it doesn't seem to have fall out either which I was very pleased with. The olive colour is the same formulation as the gold which means I am impressed with this one as well, also as I have said before I love to use green on my eyes. (It's called 'Eureka') Then last but not least we have 'Frisson' which is a burgundy colour, that is matte, I find this a nice change to have to work through the crease, and it's not too overpowering and is nice.

Overall I am very pleased with this palette, the packaging get's really dirty as you can see, but with a good wipe it will be fine. It also has a lovely mirror on the inside which I find to be very useful. The packaging itself is small and easy to carry around in a make up bag or a hand bag. The only thing I would change would be to have a different colour rather than the cream, maybe a light white so that I would show up on my skin. Enjoy the post, thank you for reading! Maybe treat yourself to something from bareminerals, (I love their lip glosses from the Buxom range)

L'oreal Paris - Colour Infallible Eyeshadow

Not long ago I picked up a couple of the L'oreal Paris Colour Infallible Eyeshadows, to my surprise they were super pigmented and very long lasting. The two colours that I picked up were '009 Permanent Kaki' and '001 Time Resist White' which are both beautiful in their own right. The Olive colour is great for me as I have blue eyes, it amazing to blend in the crease or use as a overall eye colour. The white is great to use as a highlight on the brow bone or in the corner of the eye, or all over the eye if you are just wanting a simple eye colour. I am very happy with these purchases as its great to find something that was cheap and that is worth more. I recommend these and I will be looking at the other colours to see if any of them catch my eye.

Just to finish off I will be making Monday my posting day, just because on a Sunday is when I will have the time to take the pictures and to write the blog, in the future I may hope to have two posting days to see, I am hoping to see if I can also do some fashion posts, but I would have to make someone else take the photos, all in all I am hoping for a lot more posts full of content! thanks for reading!

Rimmel Traffic Stopping Shadow Review

The other day I picked up the Rimmel Traffic Stopping Shadow in '006 Sharp Turn' - the reason for this was because it was reduced, since then I have used these colours a lot, my fav of them all being the lightest one for the highlight. I have to say that I was not keen on the black, although it is very pigmented it is very hard to apply and blend, does not have the best lasting time and is also not a great colour for my eyes, I prefer a brown. The middle colour which is meant to be used as the base is not very pigmented at all which was a shame as I was looking forward to this colour, although it could be used as a highlight. The last pinky colour for the highlight is the best colour in this small palette its very easy to apply, not noticeable if you mess up the application and also that is the perfect highlight colour for my complexion. 

The little applicator that comes with this product if of course again silly and useless, I really wish they wouldn't include these in palette as a brush is so much better as well as these making the palette look ugly and this one just flys around the palette and is very annoying.

These are them swatched however I had to apply a lot to make the second two noticeable, which might not be the best option to quickly apply on the eyes, for a day look. However if you are wanting to spent a while building them up on your eyes, I am sure this palette would be fine.

That is all I have for today, the weather is still amazing so it is giving me the opportunity to take a lot more pictures and to post more at this blog, I have got my benefit lipsticks ready to post as well as some shoe posts maybe. We shall see as I have a lot of products I would like the review on here, I hope everyone is having a nice summer! See you soon!!
