EYES: Natasha Denona Mini Lila palette (Flint in crease, Linen on lid, Raisin on outer V), Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil, Benefit High Brow on brow bone, Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Amethyst on bottom lashline, Rimmel Retro Glam Mascara.
FACE: Estรฉe Lauder Double Wear Makeup, Lancรดme Effacernes Concealer, Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder, Hourglass Mood Exposure blush.

Any new or old favorites discovered?
Newโ€”I received ColourPop Flutter By today, and I think it could very well become my new favorite palette! I immediately removed the glitter shade and replaced it with the plum shade called Flow from CPโ€™s Good Sport palette, which I never use. It makes a great addition to the Flutter By shades.
Oldโ€”Itโ€˜s been a long time since I used Cliniqueโ€™s Dramatically Different Lipstick in Canoodle, and I had forgotten what a great nude shade it is. Itโ€™ll definitely go into regular rotation.

Any product youโ€™re hoping to use next week?
ColourPop Flutter By palette!

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Look you loved this week?: I used my Naked 2 – Half Baked on the lid, with Snakebite on the lower lid and Chopper in the crease for a suble (for me!) graduated gold look. I paired it with two lipsticks – Goldmine by EA with Maybelline’s Copper Spark on top.

Any new or old favorites discovered?:
I find that I am not really ‘discovering’ old favourites, but through rotating my palettes, I am using familiar shades in a different position on the eye, or in conjunction with new combinations from other palettes.

Any product youโ€™re hoping to use next week?
I haven’t planned anything, I will just see where my fancy takes me.

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, neutral undertone, combo skin

Look you loved this week?: I put together my version of the new Natasha Denona Love palette with my singles and have loved the pink-red-purple combos I have created. Plus, it saves me $$$

Any new or old favorites discovered?: Eyeshadow singles! Also still use the heck out of the Anastasia x Nicole Guerriero highlighting palette, I think it’s the best highlighting palette Anastasia released. Also loving the $1.88 foundation drops from AOA Studio on shopmissa.com thanks to Taylor Wynn’s YT channel, they are gorgeous on the skin

Your skin tone/coloring: Light, neutalish, grey-green eyes, originally dark brown hair at the moment it’s redish with a strange almost black and silver out growth. Need to decide what colour I want now.

Look you loved this week?: I don’t think I really loved any of them, I’m not inspired regarding my eyes as they ares so hooded no one can see the lids anyway. ๐Ÿ™ I keep liking Viseart Neutral Mattes and use it almost every day with anything shimmery on the mobile lid, in the hope it will somehow show that I have one.
I have liked It Cosmetics CC+ instead of foundation, By Terry Setting Powder, Benefit Dandelion blush, CT Browlift in Supermodel all week, Supermodel is my absolute favourite for my brows, and I need to buy a new one, but CT web site wasn’t cooperating with me. Very odd!
Oh, forgot, Guerlaine Meteorites have been on my face since I bought it late last year.

Any new or old favorites discovered?: Yes. Pat McGrath Luxtrace lipstick in Major Red, I’ve had it for quite some time and didn’t like the feeling of it. this week I noticed that the feeling of a heavy lipstick was gone in minutes and it felt like nothing on the lips, wasn’t drying, turned almost satin after some time and lasted most of the day, leaving a stain that is a bit hard to remove (sorry for the almost review ๐Ÿ™‚ ). I’ve used it four days the last week.

Any product youโ€™re hoping to use next week?: I got a lipstick from Haus in the mail, finally I look forward to using it, it’s a very shimmery red, I also got Hourglass Confession lipstick in Secretly in my Beautylish Luckybag, it’s gorgeous and I want to use it as well this coming week.
I just have to have a red lips week, something I don’t mind at all.
I’ll let everyone know what else I got from Beautylish in the nest Free For Haul.

Any new or old favorites discovered?: All the above for my look
Any product youโ€™re hoping to use next week?: A Tom Ford quad – not sure which yet.
