L'Oreal Infallible Eye shadow in Eternal Black.

L'Oreal Infallible Eye shadow in Eternal Black 

 L’Oreal claims that this eyeshadow will be intense, sweatproof, waterproof, crease resistant, and will last 24 hours? This is Eternal Black–a midnight black with silver shimmers & I am in love with it! I am attending a Black Tie Dinner at the end of the month & want to do a smokey eye, I have been umming & Ahhing about buying Chanel' illusion d'ombre 'Mirifique' but didn't have a spare £24! Hanging around... So I began my quest for a cheaper alternative.... £3.86 from eBay... My post begins!

I really wanted something similar to the Chanel as I own 4 of them & love them, I had also heard rumours that these are very similar to Armani Eyes to Kill shadows.. I own around 6 of the Infallible admittedly over half of them are shades that are only available in America, I really like them so when I saw swatches of this stunning black shadow with Sparkle, it just looked stunning. I was going to buy from Boots but just thought I'd have a look on eBay & got an absolute bargain.. Brand new & sealed but £4 cheaper *happy Girl*

The photo's definitely do not do the product justice, In real life it is so sparkly & pretty, I wear it with a little of the Iced Latte in the corners of my eyes & brow bone with this over my lid & a little in my crease, giving me an instant smokey eye.

I think I am going to invest in a few more shades from this range as all 6 so far have impressed me, I wear with an eye primer & have had great lasting results & plenty of comments.

Bourjois flower perfection primer

Bourjois flower perfection primer

The first step for a smooth and beautified complexion! This translucent primer evens out and refines the skin’s texture, visibly hiding pores, blemishes and fine lines, leaving the skin looking flawless. Its melt-in airbrush texture leaves the complexion silky smooth.

I love the packaging, that is one of the things that drew me to it, I am a sucker for small or travel sized products...The primer itself has a very light pink colour, but it is colourless once applied to the skin. The texture is really strange, it feels silky but powdery, once applied the my face it seems to melt into place.

 It does make my pores less noticeable and my skin look and feel a better texture. My oiliness is managed better than with other primers I have used and my makeup does last longer than without a primer.

It can be used alone or before applying foundation to make its application easier and prolong its hold, It is Non-pore blocking, with an oil-free formula, Enriched with wild azalea flower extract to protect cells’ youth. It is £9.99 for 7ml. Which seems quite expensive but I only use a little bit & after a month of using it I still have 3/4 left.

Do you use a Primer, if so What's your favourite one? 

Good Things Instant Dark Circles Concealer Light - Medium

Good Things Instant Dark Circles Concealer Light - Medium

I real enjoy using products that feature a cooling roller-ball applicator tip, As it really soothes my eyes & wakes them up in the morning, this is designed to cover dark circles and reduce puffiness in the eye area. The concealer contains raspberry to sooth and calm skin; lychee with vitamin C and potassium to support skin and caffeine to improve circulation and counteract puffiness.

Apply the roller-ball tip to the eye contour area and gently massage it around in little circles so the concealer emerges from the roller-ball. Using your ring fingers blend into your skin with delicate tapping movements.

It does cover my under eye circles & brightens but I fortunately don't suffer with too dark circles. I'm not sure if it is heavy duty enough for serious dark circles, but as it's a peachy colour it would be a great colour correction & moisturiser under your favourite concealer for extra cover?!

If you want to try it out, you can pick it up from Boots for £3.99 instead of £5.99 as it's on offer right now whilst I write!

Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder

Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder 

A powder for all skin tones. This translucent powder* is perfect for that additional step in setting your look. Also great for that on-the-go freshen up you look moment. This translucent powder not only eliminates the need to match your shade, but is sheer and invisible on fair to dark skin tones. It helps cast away lighting and shine on your face along with diminishing fine lines and wrinkles & keeping my face Shine free from oil. Can I say PERFECT?!

Like most translucent powders, this appears white, but it quickly settles into a sheer, invisible powder. It has microparticles of shimmer that diffuse light, giving you a matte but not flat finish. Its light-scattering properties also result in a brighter complexion and minimizes the appearance of pores, lending a soft focus effect.

The top has pre cut holes for the powder to come through, but unlike other brands I've used, this one allows you to twist & close to keep the powder in, which means you don't waste half the product when you take off the lid Woo Hoo!!

This powder really reminds me of the Nars reflecting powder but at £18.00 for 18g compared with Nars priced at a whopping £25.00 for 0.24oz (6g!) you definitley get more for your money.
