THE PERFECT MOISTURIZER FOR OILY SKIN

I found it. It has been found. Alert the townspeople. The perfect daytime moisturizer for oily skin now resides in my cupboards. I have been on the hunt for this product for a long time now and, let me tell you, it has been a challenge. The issue with finding a good moisturizer for oily skin is that you're usually either left feeling greasy or you're felt feeling un-hydrated. I finally feel like I've found a product that strikes the right balance.

MY MOST BELOVED COLOURPOP SHADOWS

Colourpop Super Shock Shadows have been a mother flippin' revelation in my life. I remember the first time I ordered a batch. I took them out of their sassy little box and swatched them on my arm. Then I immediately soiled myself. These mofos are the most pigmented shadows you'll ever work with. But that's not even the best part. The best part is that they're phenomenal for oily eyelids. If you have those kind of lids that turn every shadow into a few measly lines even with a primer, then these will be your saviour. Once they set, they're indestructible. I've done a few orders of their shadows now and I fancied showing you my favies. Here they are all layed out.

THE WORST HIGH END MAKEUP

Most of the time I only talk about products that I have the warm and fuzzies for. There are loads of amazing high end bits that I now can't picture being without. However, there are most definitely some duds lurking in the shelves at Sephora. They're there, just waiting for you to pick them up and take them home, thinking you'll be happy together. But you won't. You'll never be happy together because they're liars. They're the type of products that sit on the couch all day watching soap operas and ordering you to make them more nachos. They don't care about you at all. Well, I think it's time talk about these products and reveal their true colours. So please, join me in a good old fashioned bitch fest. Was that over the top? It got weird with the nachos didn't it?

A GLOWY NO MAKEUP MAKEUP LOOK

A little while ago Urban Decay was doing a competition to create an “I woke up like this” strobing look. I looked through the competition's photos and, let me tell you, some people were waking up with a bum ton of makeup on. Slept in your full face did ya? What are you, Britt from The Bachelor? Zinnnng. I kid, I kid. Anyways I wanted to do something closer to a no makeup makeup look (but still very glowy) and I was pretty happy with how it turned out, so I thought I'd share the look with you.

THE CONCEALER RUNDOWN

After a short interlude, we return to our regular programming. I.e. back to the rundown series. We've covered bronzers and highlighters. So what's next, you ask? Pretend like you asked. Concealers! I'm bizarrely a total concealer nutcase. They are one of my all time favorite makeup products because I truly believe a good concealer can massively raise your confidence level. I've tried a fair few in my many wise and humble years, so please allow me to have a chat. Then you shun me.
