Best Products of the Week | Vol. 317
Hope your weekend is starting off on the right note! Every Saturday, I like to share the top 10 products from the last week of reviews. It’s a nice way to highlight what reviews have been published recently. Similarly, I love reading–and I know others enjoy sharing!–their own “week in review” when it comes to what makeup/beauty products they may have used and/or enjoyed.

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
What was your best look you wore this past week?: busy week at home and quite a few days at this gym so I can’t really remember anything outstanding
What product made you happiest to wear this week?: Sephora’s Micro Smooth powder. A really quick and easy way to get lovely looking skin
Any products you want to use next week?: the Charlotte Tilbury The Rebel palette. It’s so perfect for this time of year.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15, Mac describes it as fair with a golden undertone. I call it fair and ivory or the shade people become when they see a ghost or get sick (that’s me when I forget to put some blush on)!
What was your best look you wore this past week?: McQueen brow pencil. Mac Rebel. Eyes: (all from Sydney Grace) Mellow Yellow lid inner part of lid, Beaches mid lid, San Jose on crease, Pismo outter V, Dream Big tightline & eyeliner, Hidden Treasure tearduct corner & a bit on mid lid, Turtle Doves & Pismo below outer lower lash. MAC orb on brow bone. Face: The Body Shop Drops of Glow illuminator on top of cheeks, Cupid’s bow and darker parts of nose and cheeks, Studio fix over it. A’PIEU Juicy-Pang Blusher. Under eyes: BB “the works” and MAC prep+prime. Used Shiseido Curler & Maybelline the colossal waterproof. I also used a light MAC eyeshadow as a base on my eyelid but I deppoted it and I don’t know the name. ISDIN sunscreen brush over the lot!
What product made you happiest to wear this week?: Lipstick in general, Burberry Nude Pink and Devon Sunset in particular but I wish they’d last longer. I have to reapply often so I often swap colours, because… why not? MAC Haux (deserves an honorable mention)- it has the uncanny ability to take a look out of the gutter!
Any products you want to use next week?: Burberry Military Red, I haven’t worn it once since buying it as I’m not that keen on the colour (very Russian Red) so I feel I need to get some mileage out of it. MAC Ruby Woo because I love it, it makes me happy and I haven’t worn it in ages. I have quite an assortment of primers and I’ll either wear them or chuck them in the bin. I would reeeally like to be able to use the UD Naked 3 palette because that would mean I got it! (*happy dance*) We’ll see how the week goes!
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
What was your best look you wore this past week?: I really love the look I created with Dior’s 3 Colouers trio – the Antique gold on the whole lid, the olive green shade on the mobile lid and the olive brown next to the lashline and I paired it with MAC’s Chili lipstick.
What product made you happiest to wear this week?: I think PMG’s Sublime Mini, which I used a couple of days, wearing different shades on each day – Gold Nectar and Sextrovert with Blue Blood and on another Sinful with Sextrovert and Lapis Luxury.
Any products you want to use next week?: Naked 2 and 3.
I’ve been drooling over the Naked 3! haha!
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
What was your best look you wore this past week?: Definitely a spooky batwing look I did; here’s the link if you want to see! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVXbslre9h/?utm_medium=copy_link
What product made you happiest to wear this week?: I’ve been playing with my Natasha Denona palettes a lot this week which made me really happy. I love her formula so much.
Any products you want to use next week?: My Terra Moons Fall Equinox shadows should be in Monday, so I can’t wait to play with those!
Your skin tone/coloring: above, grey-green eyes, dark brown hair
What was your best look you wore this past week?: I think I only used makeup twice last week, once it was MAC Feast Your Eyes, I used the brown in the crease and on the outer v blended quite a bit up toward the brow and the gold, (champagne) on the lid, blended into the brown. I used one of the lightest shades from Viseart Cool Neutrals on the brow bone. I think I added some of the copper from the eyeshadow palette on the lower lash line, brown eyeliner. I can’t recall the lipstick, some warm red, I think.
Yesterday I tried the Orchid You Not, but I only did a very quick one and done, using the top left shade over the mobile lid, I added a bit of Venus Slipper under the lower lashes and Dancing Lady on the lips. I also added some of the body powder highlighter as blush. I’ve no idea how it looked in daylight, I did this quick look in the evening.
What product made you happiest to wear this week?: MAC Feast Your Eyes, it’s more versatile than I thought. My first impression with it wasn’t good, now I love it.
Any products you want to use next week?: PMG, the new mega Celestial palette, I hope it’ll arrive soon. If not Smashbox Minimalist(?), warmly recommended by Mariella, also on it’s way here.
