Illamasqua Satin Primer

About a 9 months I purchased this for a shoot and well, instead of being a good make up artist and leaving it in my make up kit where it belonged it some how ended up in my own personal make up bag whoops.

So anyway on with the review... I love this primer! Its my favourite!  So if you are a dewy skinned lover I would read on, if not, read on anyway because you need something to do and I don't want you getting bored. 

Illamasqua's Satin Primer helps my makeup stay in place longer, I wouldn't say as long as some primers but the finish on this is amazing. It helps add dimension to my face and it highlights all the right bits, so the tops of my cheekbones, nose, and cupids bow all become more noticeable, but not in an unnatural way (if that makes sense). If you are using to much of this product your face will feel greasy and the foundation wont sit nicely, so ladies as always in the makeup world, less is more.

I don't normally use this primer on its own, I always apply foundation over the top of it, you don't have to but this is what I feel comfortable with. I have noticed that my blusher sits nicely with this primer, its hard to explain why it just seems to create more depth.

I can't say how it affects oily skin as I don't have oily skin however Illamasqua seem to do a good job at producing products which suit most skin types. For me I have slightly dry skin and I feel like this product is hydrating my skin while I wear it. This primer contains UVA and UVB filters which means we wont get burnt (hooray!). The only thing this product doesn't do is reduce pores as it doesn't contain silicone in it, but for me this isn't a major problem.

The only let down with this product is the packaging it looks great don't get me wrong. But its not that practical for getting the product out, I sometimes over squeeze the bottle and end up with too much product, however this wont stop me buying Illamasquas Satin Primer again.

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I...

I actually think this product is pretty good and you get quite a bit for the money you pay. I think it does help smooth skin ready for foundation. 6/10 Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - its...

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

Image
As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!  ...
