NUDE BY NATURE

Pressed Natural Mineral Cover

Nude By Nature Pressed Mineral Powder in 'Light' - $39.95 (Shop!)

I have recently been using this lovely pressed mineral powder in the shade 'Light' which is my general shade when it comes to facial makeup products as my skin is quite light, but not fair. Upon opening the very glam packaging (sleek box and cloth pouch complete with dark brown round compact & sponge) I was quite surprised at how dark the powder appeared! I had to double check I had the correct shade, which I did. (Phew!)

I usually do not like to use any kind of sponge when it comes to applying makeup as for me the product seems to get lost in the sponge and does not transfer well onto my skin. However this sponge wasn't too bad, still I prefer to use a fluffy brush as it seems to get the powder the cover more even and give a more flawless finish.
I am really impressed with the coverage, especially when it comes to my pores. Mine are a bit big around my cheeks near my nose and the powder covered them quite well without settling into them even towards the end of the day which is what I normally experience. 
I am enjoying the light feeling this gives on my skin and I find I can get away without having to touch up throughout the day, however as it gets hotter as Summer approaches I am sure I may need to at least once as I tend to get a bit oily when it gets super hot.


Big points to Nude By Nature for being cruelty free, naturally derived and Australian made!
A beautiful product I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new pressed powder to try. A great handy size which fits perfectly into a small makeup bag or purse and the mirror is a 100% must for me as I am always rummerging around my bag in search of mine which seems to live a life of it's own and only reappears once I have given up looking for it 
and no longer need it!

SCOUT


SCOUT COSMETICS

Autumn Must Haves!


Even though it doesn't feel all that much like the cooler months of the year are here, what with
all of the consistant 30 degree weather which insists on hanging around. Here is Brisbane the days
are usually cloudy and muggy and humid! Winter, I am looking forward to your visit!

However, I am still excited about Autumn, no matter how moody it may be. The berry, brown
and purple, reddiesh shades which dominate the season are all beautiful and rich in pigments and
texture, both in fashion and beauty. Such a fun time of the year!

Let me introduce today to you, two new to me products which I think are perfect must haves for
the Autumn season. 

Scout Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in 'She' & Scout Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in 'Walk Of Life'.

When it comes to make-up, I am all about the base and getting those products right are such an
important part of anyone's make-up routine.  Scout Cosmetics mineral eyeshadows come in seven
bold and earthy shades which blend seamlessly and last the whole day. 

This neutral, light sandy hue makes for the perfect eyeshadow base and creates a nice, smooth
canvas on the lid. Slightly darker shades such as 'Platinum Blonde' & 'Run Baby Run' can also
be used as brow definers.

SWATCH above & below blended onto the skin.
Scout Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow - RRP: $29.95

Scout Cosmetics offers a huge range of 28 nail lacquer shades including this one pictured
below in the shade 'Walk Of Life'.  This shades screams Autumn to me and I absolutely adore it!
It matches every outfit and being such an earthy, natural hue, I can't help but think about the
changing leaves from green to brown. 

Just look at the pigmentation and shine from just ONE layer and no top coat!
Scout Cosmetics Nail Lacquer - RRP: $19.95

Scout Cosmetics nail lacquer are free from nasty chemicles usually found in polishes such as,
Camphor, DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin and Parabens.
