Favourites... (and worst)

I'm just going to keep this as a post i'll keep updating everytime I think of a product i've been using and love!

- Elf Studio Eyeshadow Primer - Choose this over an expensive one any day! I used the Estee Lauder one for a while and this definitely wins.

- Shu Uemera blush in Peach - 44. True matte peach colour and really subtle and summery, love it!

- Laura Mercier Illuminating Powder - previously mentioned.

- Collection 2000 concealer, already mentioned this

- Sleek palettes, just because they're so handy, fit into your makeup bag and useful colours in them all, i'm definitely thinking of expanding my collection

- Maybelline colour sensational cream gloss - love this stuff, i don't always wear lipgloss (!) but I love the nude shades here! 



There aren't loads of products I hate so thought i'd add them on here:

- Elf Mineral Infused Mascara - I ordered this because I needed a cheap mascara, I love the brush , small and tapered, and it was buildable and a good mascara but transferred to the top of my eyes and it was SO annoying having these little dots everytime I looked in the mirror, my mum found it transferred underneath too. I'd rather go for a Miss Sporty or Collection 2000 over this

Urban Decay Primer Potion - Sin, Original and Eden :)

Okay so every makeup/beauty related blog etc will probably have a review on this 'cult' product, because everyone loves it! I just got it in 'Sin' as it's one of my all time FAVOURITE shadows so this seemed like a good first post:)

It's a very light, champagne pink pretty colour, with just the right level of shimmer. It's not as versatile as the original simply because it has shimmer, but blends well and I know a lot of people like it as a cream eyeshadow as it's fairly thick, which I often do when in a rush!! It also is great under shimmery eye shadows to make them pop! My Mum disliked this product and regretted buying it so try it out first, the shimmer isn't for everyone unfortunately...

There is a huge difference between the regular primer potion and Eden, it's a much thicker consistency and more pigmented, like a creamy concealer (which some people use it as!) It's yellow toned which i really liked but may be too yellow for some skin tones.
I would definitely recommend opting for this when using matte shadows (or any others really) same quality as the original but minus the slight dewy sheen it has :)


Yet to try Greed (the latest edition of a pale gold primer that's recently been released in the full size bottle) but will update if i get the chance! and be warned, depot your primers that are still in the potion bottle as there is so much left, or opt for the new squeezy tube packaging! finally! :D
