Pressed Natural Mineral Cover

http://www.nudebynature.com.au

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!

Have you tried mineral makeup?

PRO FINISH BASE PRODUCTS!

http://www.boeprofessional.com.au

BB Cream and Concealer in Medium

This handy 2 in 1 product is so convenient to have in your makeup bag because it doesn't take up as

much room as two products PLUS is contains a sneaky little mirror inside the cap which also saves you

even more room because you're not also having to carry around a compact mirror. So really this is kind

of a 3 in 1 product!

When I received this in the shade Medium I was a little worried because usually in almost all kinds of

makeup products I always go for light or close to that. However when I swatched this and then blended

it into my hand it didn't appear as dark as I had imagined it would be so relief set in. Once applied to my

face it was actually a pretty close to perfect colour match! The BB Cream which is the bulk of the

product which is contained in the tube goes a long (and I mean looong) way! You only need smaller

than a pea size amount of product to cover your whole face which gives you a light coverage with all

of the benefits of a BB Cream. (Moisturising, skin perfecting, priming, smoothing, concealing and

evening.)

The concealer which is ironically concealed in the product's cap is there handy and ready to use so you

don't have to go digging through your makeup bag to find it. This concealer is super thick but blends

easily and does a pretty good job at hiding any spots or redness. Similar to the BB Cream, initially it

appears a bit orange when first applied but don't worry once it is all blended in it looks just like your

skin colour. Or it did for me at least, phew! :)

Available in Fair, Medium & Medium Deep

RRP: $12.95

Eye Brightener Pen

This is the first eye brightening pen I have ever used. I have used under eye concealers in the past and

most have worked great, however I am in love with the illuminating effect this particular product gives.

I often have late nights as a mum of two toddles, plus working on my blog and Youtube channel and it

doesn't stop there! My husband and I also run our own business so things are always super busy and we

are always staying up late working together to make sure things get done. Needless to say I don't always

look bright and wide eyed in the morning or during the day for that matter and I'm not ashamed to admit

I need a bit of help and products like this one make an amazing difference!

Same as the BB Cream, a little goes a super long way with this Corrector Pen! RRP: $9.95

I am lucky that my eyes don't get too dark underneath them, however you can tell when I haven't had

enough sleep and since using this pen it really does conceal the slight purple tint and when used on

the lid of my eyes it also hides any veins showing through the thin skin on that delicate area.

Another great trick is to use a tiny spot of this blended on the inner corner of your eyes to really help to

open them up so they appear slightly larger. This is a step which helps me out a lot as my eyes are not

naturally as large as I would like.

High Definition Finishing Powder

I have to admit I have been pretty hopeless when it comes to finishing powders and makeup setting

products in the past. I just haven't been bothered to use them. Boy have I been missing out!

RRP: $9.95

Designed to create camera ready skin, I only wish I'd started using this years ago when I first began

making Youtube videos and continued through until now as you really can see the difference it makes

to your skin. It completely soaks up any oiliness without looking like I have dry skin. The formulation

doesn't cake or set into your creases or pores, it just makes everything look smoother and even so the

best version of you can really shine through. I LOVE this stuff!

Fresh & Flawless

5 Piece Complexion Set!

I have been needing to invest in a good set of make-up brushes for a long time. I did purchase

a mini travel set of 3 Real Techniques brushes a little while ago, and although they are amazing

and I love and use them almost daily, they are mini and I wanted ones with a longer handle!

I'd always heard good things about Eco Tools, particularly their make-up brushes so naturally
I had to find out how amazing these were for myself! ;)

I hopped onto iHerb to see what was available and that is when this colourful set caught my

eye and I knew I just had to have them, they are perfect!

These brushes are made from bamboo in the handles and they are completely cruelty free which I

100% back and admire! The bristles are so soft and smooth and already I have noticed a difference

in the appearance of my make-up when applied using these. They are super easy to use and have

made my life much easier of late. Now I have a brush for everything and I love that because it's

helping me to improve my make-up applying techniques!

The fibres do not leave any steaks along your skin and they're so firmly embedded in the brush

that I haven't seen a single hair fall out onto my face or even look like coming loose. They are

locked in there tight! Brilliant!

Left to right - Full Powder Brush, Complexion Blending Brush, Precision Foundation Brush,

Buffing Concealer Brush & Flat Concealer Brush.

I do love to have my brushes out where I can quickly and easily reach for and use them each day,

however I love how they came stored so neatly like this. Good to keep for travelling or

to store to prolong their longevity perhaps?

What make-up brushes do you swear by?
