Bobbi Brown nude on nude collection
Bobbi Brown
Nude on Nude Collection
Bobbi
Brown is great at bringing out neutral palettes and this collection is no
expectation. The nude on nude collection contains a 12 piece eyeshadow palette,
a mascara and gel eyeliner.
The
palette is sleek, black packaging with beige writing. Inside are 12 eyeshadows
of good size. There are 5 matte shades, 2 shimmer shades and 5 glitter shades.
On
the top row is ivory, a creamy white matte shade. Great for an all over base
colour or inner corner highlight. Chiffon is a pale gold glitter shade. Golden
pink is a metallic pinky beige. And last on the top row is graphite a mauve
brown shimmer shade. On the middle row, Gold is a champagne shimmer shade.
Naked is a medium neutral pink matte shade. Nude beach is a metallic soft pink
nude. Birch is a soft matte brown. Last row Smokey topaz is a metallic grey
brown. Truffle is a grey pink matte shade. Golden bronze is a metallic medium
bronze gold. Espresso is a dark chocolate brown matte shade.
There
is so many looks that you could do with this palette. The colour pay off on
these shades are amazing and are so blendable. My next blog post will be a
makeup look using this palette.
This
collection comes with a mascara. The mascara is the smokey eye mascara which is
part of the permanent line. This mascara is used for defining and adding volume
to your lashes. It is made with kohl pigments and has a thick bristle brush to
coat every lash, even the small ones. This mascara is award winning and makes a
great addition to this collection.
Bobbi
Brown have also included a gel liner to this collection. The perfectly defined
gel eyeliner stylo is smudge resistant and fade proof. This is also part of
their permanent line and comes in 5 other shades, the one in the collection is
pitch black. It’s nice to see a gel liner in a pencil form, as I am not a fan
of the ones in the little pots. This liner is also 12hr water resistant. With
its creamy texture you will feel no tugging on the eye when you apply this.
I
am so glad I got this palette and can’t wait to start using it.

Lip addict tag
Hi
there
Today I am going to be doing another tag post
which originally stared on youtube. This is the lip addict tag and from the
picture above you can see I have a lot to talk about so lets get started,
1.
Favourite
balm/ treatment?
I have two lip balms to talk about.
Firstly Nuxe reve de meil which is the one I use in the evening as its very
nourishing on the lips , also its in a little tub so I find it more hygienic to
use at home. For on the go I use burt’s bees lip salve which comes in different
flavours. I am currently using pomegranate.
My lip scrub that I use is love and
toast which unfortunately only comes in a set at the moment.
2.
Best
eye catching red?
Beaute weightless lip crème in
masochist is my high end choice. Its a vamp red which is great for evening
makeup looks. I would say before wearing a red lip colour I advise using a lip
scrub and lip balm, and if you are concerned about it bleeding, Lipstick queen
has a great invisible lip liner which you can use with any colour. My other
choice is Revlon lip butter in candy apple, this is a great product if you are
just starting to wear red lips, as its easy application and moisturizing
properties makes it so easy to wear.
3.
Best
luxury and best drugstore?
I
have two high end brands Chanel and Nars. Its hard to choose one product from
each brand, but here goes. Chanel caratere which is a medium berry colour,
which is a great everyday colour. Chanel lipsticks are great quality and are so
worth the money I only have two at the moment but I plan to buy more. My Nars
favourite is catfight a brownish plum which has become my go to lipstick. Nars
has such a wide range of lip product that they have a colour and texture that
will suit everybody. Nyx is one of the choices from drugstore. I love their
round lipsticks, mega shine glosses and butter gloss. If I was forced to pick
my favourite I’d have to go for Thalia it’s a round lipstick which is a couple
of shades darker than my natural lip colour.
Revlon also has some great lip products, including their lip crayons,
lip butters and lipsticks. I love their matte balm, especially sultry.
4.
Best
Mac Lipstick?
This was a hard choice, I went through
my collection and I narrowed it down to two. Brave which is my everyday shade
of brownish pink and Please Me which is a bright matte coral colour.
5.
Most
disappointing?
I
don’t really keep products that I don’t get on with , so I haven’t got one in
the picture. But I find if I am thinking of buying a lip product I look at
swatches online and reviews to avoid disappointment.
6.
Liner
yes or no?
Definitely
yes. I use liners sometimes as lip colour on their own, or to keep my lip
colour from bleeding. I recommend Lipstick queen invisible liner as it goes
with any lip colour. One of my favourites to wear on its own is Natural
collection espresso.
7.
Best
gloss?
Beaute medusa because it’s a great nude
for pale skin tones and is not sticky. Nyx tiramisu another great nude. Mac
delight my favourite lip colour shade.
8.
Something
extra
I went to Mac and Bobbi brown recently
and picked up some lip products, so here is a mini haul.
Mac twig a brownish plum stain finish
lipstick
Mac amorous deep vamp plum stain finish
lipstick
Mac syrup pink berry lustre finish
lipstick
Mac crosswire coral cremesheen finish
lipstick
Mac nightmoth liner dark plum
Bobbi Brown tulle a brownish pink
lipstick
Well I hope you enjoyed this post and
let me know your favourite lip product.

Ode to orange
Today
I will continue with an analysis of my nail polish collection by colour. This
post will be about the colour orange, which I didn’t think would really suit me
but after trying it out once, I cannot get enough of it.
'Barry
M' Coral: This polish is where my love of orange started, although it is called
'coral' it is actually a bright orange/red which look great on pale skin. This
is a cream polish two coats and its opaque. 'Barry M' polishes last about 3-4
days on my nails, this is truly a great polish I’d definitely recommend them.
'Essie
Snap Happy' - This is a mini polish and came in a set of three along with
'Leading Lady' (see red collection) and 'Beyond Cosy', which was part of the
winter 2012 collection. This shade is darker than 'Barry M' Coral and is much
redder. This shade was limited edition and if you would like to purchase it,
Amazon is a great place to find limited edition or discontinued shades.
'Ciate
Encore' - This is also a mini polish, I got this in their 'mini mani' advent
calendar last year. If you are unsure about orange polish this might be the one
to try, it’s a burnt orange colour making it a bit easier to wear.
'Topshop
Bounce' - This is a new polish to my collection, is a bright pastel orange.
This polish would look great with a white dot manicure. It can be a bit streaky
in formula but is still very workable. Three coats would be best for this
formula to get it opaque. To make this polish even brighter you could layer
this over a white, but I would not class it as a neon.
'Zoya
Arizona' - This is a bright tangerine-orange cream polish. This came out in the
beach collection but is still available on nail care clubs website. This polish
is also new to my collection and will be great in this summer. The formula of
this polish is great its opaque in two coats.
So
that’s it for my orange polish collection, if you have an orange polish that
you really like and wasn't covered by me, please leave me a comment. The next
colour in my collection will be peach so stay tuned for that.
