Yay back on time~ (sort of)
I meant to post this a couple of days after the others, so it'd only be a few days late, but I dithered over whether I had a favourite because these 2 months were the busiest so I spent very little time wearing makeup or paying attention to my skincare.
Favourites
Chichi
baked single in I’m every woman (matte medium brown)
Chi Chi? Chichi? Anyway,
completely matte baked eyeshadows are something I’ve never seen before (or
since) so I was quite interested when I saw this. I’ve been looking for a good
transition shade for ages and though I had my eye on a MUFE shadow, I also
really wanted to try this, especially because these swatched so pigmented and
so smoothly. I love this shade, it’s not exactly what I was going for but it’s
so versatile and it blends seamlessly into skin even without primer.
Empties
Sukin
facial moisturiser
Technically I still had a
little bit left but I dumped the bottle and scraped the little bit out into a
tub so . . . (edit: I finished it
off on the 6/9 so not far off)
This
was an ok moisturiser in a kinda hard to explain way. It felt moisturising but
it left my face shiny afterwards, in a freshly moisturised kind of way not a
greasy/oily way but still. It was a good basic moisturiser but not helpful with
my oily t-zone. I think this would make a great basic moisturiser for dry
skinned people, and I think it might have mild calming/soothing properties as
well so good for dry and irritated skin. The smell, though mild, was certainly in
the calming range.
Cheap
blush brush
After I bought my new gloss
blush brush I honestly don’t know why I didn’t dump this straight away, I mean
I did like the shape of this one as well but it’s not like the shape was all
that unique I didn’t need to hold onto this for comparison *sigh*. So I dumped
it after I remembered this fact.
Maybelline
forest smokes quad + Revlon satin eyeshadow single in shimmering sienna (packaging)
So like a month before I
bought the z-palette I dropped my favourite Maybelline eyeshadow quad (it’s my
only Maybelline quad but I was quite fond of it) and broke the lid so I
couldn’t travel with it, which was rather annoying. I forgot to put it in the
z-palette straight away because at first I just wanted to get rid of all the single
eyeshadows that were bugging me. The Revlon one I always meant to transfer to a
z-palette as I love the colour but I can never be arsed to open the singles lid
when I’m working from a palette.
