After last week’s third wishlist post I thought I would do a little
update on the things I’ve bought from the first two I did! You can find those
posts here and here!
I finally bought a MAC lipstick just before Christmas in the shade
Plumful and I really like it. This is a lustre formulation and I apply it
straight from the bullet then rub it into my lips so it stains them more. I
don’t find that I need to use a lip liner with this as bleeding is not an issue
and it’s nicely hydrating and long lasting! I don’t think I’ll ever have as big
a collection of MAC as some people because I feel like I’m always expecting
more from them then left a little disappointed when it doesn’t live up the hype
I’ve created for myself! I would like to try more lipsticks though and though
I’m not a fan of matte lipsticks as my lips are so dry I have been eyeing up
Mehr, thoughts?
For me this was a huge waste of money! I honestly don’t know how to use
it, I bought it as more of a setting powder to add a little more coverage and
got the shade NW20 which is what I got matched to in the Studio Fix Fluid years
ago. This just makes my makeup look patchy, cakey and does not stop shine at
all. I honestly think I’ve only tried it about twice so this is a hugely biased
review but if anyone has any tips on how to get the best out of this powder
please let me know!
My mum very kindly bought me this a few months back and it is quite
possibly the cutest, girliest piece of makeup I own! I feel like I do abandon a
lot of my eyeshadow palettes for my Makeup Geek collection especially when it
comes to the shimmer shades so I haven’t got as much use out of this as I
should have! I love using the mattes in the palette for a really subtle daytime
look and Bordeaux is one of my favourite shades, I’m loving burgundy shades in
my crease at the minute! Too Faced has one of my favourite eyeshadow
formulations but I would say that I maybe prefer the shade range in my Natural
Eyes palette as I do use every shade in that palette whereas some shades in
this one obviously get no love from me (pinks I’m looking at you!)

I got three of these in a mini set at Christmas and I am obsessed with
them! Love Hangover and Justify my Love are definitely my favourites and
although the minis I have are absolutely tiny they fit my blush brush perfectly
and I can’t see myself hitting pan anytime soon! They are just the right amount
of pigmentation and I find them really long-lasting on my combination skin! I still
really want the Love Flush palette but I think it’s gone forever L

I got this a few weeks ago along with the CT Instant Look in a Palette
(let me know if you want a post about that too!) and I have to say I am really
liking it! £16 is way more than what I would usually pay for a lipliner but
it’s such a gorgeous natural colour just a touch darker than my lip shade that
matches about 70% of my lipsticks and helps them last longer! It’s soft, I
don’t have to pull on my lips to get the colour moving and although it was expensive
I know I will get so much use out of it! I was under the impression it was a
dupe for Rimmel’s Eastend Snob but as you can see in the swatch Eastend Snob on
the left is a lot pinker than Pillow Talk!

Makeup Geek eyeshadow pan in Latte
I checked BeautyBay daily for months for this as I was forever out of
stock only to finally get my hands on it and be a little disappointed! If you
read my blog you will know I am a fan of cool toned brown eyeshadows. Although
I knew this was warmer than my usual shades it’s just a little too much on the
warm side for me to love! However, like all Makeup Geek eyeshadows its super
pigmented and easily blendable and if you like warm tones you are in for a
treat! It’s been a bit abandoned by me and I’ve changed around my small Z
palette a little since this post on my neutral palette of dreams (see swatches here too!) but I think I will get more use out of it this summer when I am a
bit more tan and it doesn’t look so stark on my pale skin!
