Not having time to blog during the university semester means I've fallen behind (even more than usual!) on monthly subscriptions, new releases and the like. So while some of the next few posts may be slightly less useful than they otherwise might be, hopefully they're not completely irrelevant.
Natural Glamour Illuminating Foundation in 'Medium' is meant to deliver a glowing, flawless complexion. It's meant to have a matte finish, and is free from talc, paraben and bismuth oxychloride. This shade was way too dark for me, and I wasn't able to find any more information in terms of colour range on the company's website. When I tested it on my hand though, it was quite easy to move around. The consistency was a little thick, which would make sense since I'm assuming it provides full coverage.
Natural Glamour 2Glo Line Treatment & Concealer in 'Medium' might be one of the niftiest things I've seen in a while. One side is a line treatment to moisturise and smooth the under eye area, while the other side has a light reflecting concealer to hide dark circles. This is something I'll be taking traveling with me to save room in my makeup bag. The line treatment is fine for me in the mornings, but of course, it doesn't replace the heavy duty stuff in my night time routine. The concealer is a lovely consistency and blends easily while still covering my dark circles. It does have a little slip to it, so I would recommend still setting your under eye area with powder.
Designer Brands Liquid Eyeliner in 'Black' is your standard black liquid liner. The top has a fine brush tip that allows for precision as well as a thicker line depending on what takes your fancy. Eyeliner has never been my thing, so I'm probably not the best judge of this one. It didn't tug on the lid, but it did skip/become a tad patchy every once in a while so I did have to go over my line a couple of times. I will say it did have good staying power for me, and the swatch I had on my hand lasted until I scrubbed at it with soap and warm water!
Ulta3 Lip Liner in 'Plum' is the perfect colour for winter. I've had amazing experiences with Ulta3 products before and this one was no exception. The pencil was extremely soft and gave opaque colour in just one pass without tugging uncomfortably on my lips. I always tend to wear lipstick over it, so I can't vouch for how drying it is when worn on its own. Given the price tag (a whole $2.95), I think I'll quite happily go buy this product in every colour it comes in.
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid Exfoliant exfoliates the skin's surface and inside the pore. I've been keen to try products from this company for quite some time, so I'm excited to finally give this one a go. The product claims to create even skin tone, reduce redness and unclog enlarged pores. That's ticking pretty much every skin care concern I've ever had, so I've got everything crossed that my skin agrees with it.
