Today's *quick* post is to show you one of my most (if the THE most) used eyeshadow palette. Of course I like to change things up and experiment with other brands' eyeshadows, but this one is what I reach for the most, pretty much all the time. I do have 3 other MAC palettes with browns, purples, corals etc. But if I could only have one of them, it would be this. It took me quite some time (and cash)to accumulate all the eyeshadows, but they are definitely worth it. I mostly have my bases, and highlighters in here, but you can catch a glimpse of Quarry as well(mainly use this on the crease) What do you girls think of my palette? Do you have any of the eyeshadows? Let me know!
How long has it been since I last did one of these? I can't even remember! *Kudos to me for being brave enough to wear Lady Danger xD
FACE: Garnier BB cream in Medium Estee Lauder Doublewear Stay in Place concealer in light/medium EYES: Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 81 Beige Velours( the light khaki shade on the lid, the darker brown on the crease and the white to highlight the inner corner and eyebrow bone) L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black CHEEKS: MAC Blush in Trace Gold LIPS: MAC l/s in Lady Danger
I'm not usually the one to go and purchase tweeze creams, I've tried a couple in the past but I wasn't really left with good impressions so I didn't bother to look into it any more. But whilst I was browsing the offer section at my local Sephora I stumbled across this and, 'cause I've heard some good words about Anastasia in the past, I thought I'd give it a go.
It's basically a cream with a green tint, that you put on the areas you've tweezed, that are red, dry and sore and it helps soothe and refresh the skin. I did make the mistake of putting a regular moisturising cream in the past and let me tell you, it burns like hell! This one on the contrary, feels soothing and cooling due to the restorative chamomile extracts that help to moisturise and calm the skin. The green tint also helps in concealing the redness. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any greasy residue whatsoever.
I've been really satisfied with this cream and after my first attempt to thread my eyebrows on my own(aaaand it went good), I was left with red, irritated patches and this little fellow actually helped, A LOT. The only negative I can find to it, is its price tag at around 20$. I surely didn't pay that much, I think it was around 8-10E but to me its worth every single penny. You only need the tiniest bit to apply and it will last you for a long time. So, next time you're in Sephora, give this a try.
Have you guys tried this? Or any other Anastasia products? What do you think?
