#159 - Korff

I had never tried any Korff products before, so I took advantage of Amazon BuyVIP discounts to pick up a few.
First of all, the compact smoothing foundation, which I got in the colour 02, Amande: colour is practically perfect for me, and it spreads easily with the sponge provided; the first time I tried it, it seemed like I didn’t need to add anything,...

#138 - Useful makeup links

Over the past few days, I have been putting a bit of work into the theme of this blog. Nothing fancy, I just redid the homepage, added links to the pages, and added two new pages: one of the links that I had already had since time immemorial, updated, and one of the useful links for makeup and cosmetics. This is because I happened to find a document with some useful addresses that I had saved over time,...

#136 - Neve Cosmetics Manga Brows

As chance would have it, these eyebrow pencils came out just when I was looking for a good enough solution to intensify my colour. I thought they would not last long, but they have held up well, even in hot weather.
They are very comfortable to use, have perfect colours, and the brush is also handy.
I used them with a special gel,...

#124 - Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm

I do not like this brand’s cosmetics and tend not to buy them. This is because, beyond the advertising promises (‘Proven against allergies’, it says on their website, but if you analyse their cosmetics’ ingredients, you find many unattractive ingredients), it is a brand like any other.
However, I have a real soft spot for Chubby Stick, practically a small collection,...

# 122 - bareMinerals READY® To Go Complexion Perfection Palette

This bareMinerals palette is really convenient: it contains the foundation, the powder, the bronzer, the illuminant, the concealer and two small brushes; is obviously sold in different colours, the only ones that remain the same are the bronzer and the illuminant.
I took my trusty R250, with which I am very well.
Together with the Perfect Ten make the perfect travel kit,...

#116 - Illamasqua Liquid Metal Palette

Illamasqua Liquid Metal Palette

I have often read criticism of Illamasqua’s metallic colours, mainly based on their poor durability. However, I must say that I did not find this to be the case and ventured to buy this palette of only metallic eyeshadows.
I tried the one on the top left, and as with the colour in the other palette,

#108 - London Makeup Tour 2014

I had promised myself not to buy anything, but instead.
And instead, not only did I return with a decent haul, but I bought from the same brands as last time (apart from Sleek, which I preferred to avoid this time).
From left to right in the photo, two eyeshadows, a lipstick and a set from Neal’s Yard Remedies,...
