Weekend Away Makeup - #BlogOnMSI
Sunday, October 16, 2016
A couple of weekends ago I
went to #BlogOnMSI in Manchester and I decided to make a weekend of it and stay
over. I thought I’d share the makeup I took with me.
I’m trying to not over pack
when I go away for short breaks and even fortnight holidays. Even though I want
everything with me I know I won’t use half the products I take with me so I
feel like I’ve choosen wisley this time.
This make up was to cover a
Saturday night out and the event on Sunday.
Eye Makeup
Kohl
Me Beautiful – Brown eyeliner – I picked this up in Pound land a while
ago and it’s a really nice eyeliner for soft smoky eyes and I prefer it to some
dearer brown lines that I’ve tried.
Kat
Von D – Tattoo Eyeliner – This is new to me and I haven’t tried it as I
type but from swatching it, I like how thin a line I managed to achieve on the
back of my hand
Essence
long lasting Black Eye Pencil – I’ve not used this for a while, but I
like how this looks on me.
Eyelure
Mid Brown Eyebrow Gel – My brows are a little on the wild side and this
helps to tame them, it also fills in the colour without the need for pencil as
well
Maybelline
Crème de rose colour tattoo -
when I bought this I intended to use it as a base under other eyeshadows
but more often than not I went it on its own with liquid (felt tip) eyeliner.
Tanya
Burr Hollywood Palette – The perfect Christmas party palette. It has 3
fairly neutral shades and one shimmery old gold shade. I’m really impressed
with the quality of these shadows and as the event has a festive them I thought
it was the time to use it.
Rimmel
Volume Colourist Mascara - It claims
to tint your lashes and while I don’t feel like it’s made any difference to my
lashes, which admittedly are naturally dark. It’s a good day time mascara and
is easy to build up without getting clumpy.
Face Products
Maybelline
Eye Eraser concealer – Over the past 18 months I’ve used two or three of
these and recently I’ve been missing it. I have managed to use up two of my
other concealers so it’s time to reopen this and see if I still enjoy using it.
Botanics
Radiance Balm – If I’m honest I’m not really sure how a radiance balm works
or what it does, but this smells nice and I’m using it as a primer / base
before foundation.
Nars
Orgasm – I only crack this out for special occasions and I don’t know
as it’s a really great blusher for me. I will have to start using it more
often.
Nude
Magique BB Powder - I feel like
I’m always really negative about this powder and never look forward to using it
but yet I’m still using it. I don’t feel the need to use something else. I don’t
know if this is because I’ve got my project pan hat on (I’m not panning this
but I do feel more inclined to try and use up products) Or if it’s because I
can see the shadow of pan slowly emerging. I don’t think I’d buy it again but
it’s not awful (Glowing review there)
Nude
Magique Cushion Foundation – Initially I didn’t like this but I’ve
changed the way I apply it to using a dry beauty blender and a dabbing motion
and I like it. I feel that it is a very wet formula and that I need to leave it
to set for a few seconds before I apply any other products.
Milani
Hermosa rose illuminating powder – The nude magique foundation is a
little bit light so I like to use this to warm me up a bit.
Lip Products
Revlon
Balm stain in Honey – I’m so close to finishing this product I’m
keeping it with me at all times. Not using it that often but I’m sure in the
next week or two it will be finished. This is a great colour and really easy to
apply on the go.
Revlon
Lip Butter in Candy Apple – Another product I’m trying to use up this
year and it’s a really nice red, it goes on sheer but can be built up and I
like wearing it for nights out.
Revlon
Lip Butter in Pink Truffle - My current
favourite lip colour. This is a good day time colour for me and I’ve been
enjoying wearing it.
