Best Products of the Week | Vol. 309
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.

Any new or old favorites discovered?: The BH Cosmetics Passion in Paris palette is lovely… the shimmers in that palette are LOVELY.
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: My TerraMoons singles came in today, so definitely those! Also, my Huda Beauty Jaguar palette. I hope my Beauty Bay Wildwess palette and Lunar Beauty Eclipse palette will come in this week.
Happy Birthday Celesta!
I read on your insta post so I really do hope it was a good one.
I love the look. Purple is, you know purple and I love it.
Happy birthday!!! Fantastic look!!!
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Look you loved this week?: I used the PMG Sublime Mini shades of the Gold Nectar all over the lid, with Sinful on the lower lid and Calming Presence from On the Horizon Light palette on the lasline. I paired it with MAC’s Chili lipstick.
Any new or old favorites discovered?: PMG’s Sublime Mini
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: Chanel’s Tisse D’Automne, i think needs some love.
Your skin tone/coloring: Above, grey-green eyes, dark brown hair.
Look you loved this week?: I mostly did one and done looks this past week. Yesterday I did a rather nice look using the olive green and the gold from the Clionadh natural bundle, with Green Mist in the inner corner of the eye, SG Beyond sheered out as crease colour and transition, black mascara, CT Pillow Talk light blush and CT Glowing Jen lipstick. I quite liked it, but after some time my lids started itching. Today I tried another eyeshadow from the same bundle and my lids itched again. I used the same mascara so now I have to investigate if it’s the eyeshadows or the mascara. Anyway, I did like the green-gold look.
Any new or old favorites discovered?: New, all my new SG eyeshadows and the ones from Clionadh. Old, nothing this week.
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: SG X Temptalia, any and all shades in any and all palettes. I do think blue as the blues are the ones I have yet to use, blue scare me 🙂
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Look you loved this week?: Yesterday, I wanted a very light look on my eyes and took out the VERY old Too Faced Boudoir Eyes palette – In the Buff, Fuzzy Handcuffs and Garter Belt; Sephora Flirting Game (I think) to line and MAC Craving on lips; Becca Camellia on cheeks.
Any new or old favorites discovered?: Tarte for Aqualillies palette
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: that Tarte for Aqualillies palette. I watched a Wayne Goss tutorial on eyeshadow application for “older eyes” (ahem) and Parasol – a very light and reflective shade – is very much like the highlight colour he used on the mobile lid. I’m going to pair it with 2 shades from the ND Glam 15 pan palette that are similar to the other 2 shades he used on the lids.
Look you loved this week?:
I liked the look I did with my new Pat McGrath blush even though the lighting is wonky. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7QasxH_r_/?utm_medium=copy_link
Any new or old favorites discovered?: My Ilia lip glosses!! I love them so!
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: The purple highlighter I got from Sydney Grace. UD Elote. (Not in the same look.)
Look you loved this week?: I didn’t film this week, so all of my looks have been eyes-only since I wear a mask at work. My favorite has to be Natasha Denona “Zand” all over the lid and “Golden Honey” from the Pat McGrath Rose Decadence palette blended into the inner lid
Any new or old favorites discovered?: I’ve been finding joy combining my various Clionadh singles with my Pat McGrath Rose Decadence palette
Any product you’re hoping to use next week?: I’m hoping to dive back into the Huda Mauve Obsessions palette, as I’ve been contemplating including it in an upcoming Project Pan
YOUR SKIN TONE/COLORING: Under my name; cherry cola hair with a violet tint; hazel/green eyes.
LOOK YOU LOVED THIS WEEK?: EYES — TFSI. Made by Mario Glam Eyeshadow Quad in Party Glam — #4/matte teal (outer corner), #3/chartreuse shimmer (inner 2/3 crease), #1/teal shimmer (outer 1/3 of crease, blended into #3 to make green in the center crease; lower lash line).
