Mini make-up haul

Small make-up haul 
Hey everyone! I've just started gathering products for my make-up kit and I went out on Saturday and picked up these little beauties *love struck smiley*. I got a chance to use everything so far so I just want to share with y'all my views.

The L'oreal true match foundation in W6... umm not my favourite, it's a bit light for me which is weird since the W6 powder matches harmoniously to my skin. I'm hoping it's the tan I got from the beach last week and being out all day Saturday, will definitely give it another chance. Other than it not matching my skin tone it's perfect, it goes on smooth (with the correct brush of course, I used the MAC 188 foundation brush), it's lightweight, gives medium to full coverage and gives a nice 'glowy' finish. I love this foundation, I usually use MAC studio fix fluid but this is a nice cheaper alternative for everyday use.

Milani Illuminating face powder in Hermosa Rose.. I cannot get enough of this it is amazing. It matches my undertone perfectly. It's a highlighter, bronzer & blush in one. I love this. The label says it gives your skin a healthy, sun kissed finish and it does exactly that. I haven't used it as a blush yet but I'm sure it won't disappoint. If you want to try this be sure to get a colour that matches your undertone.

Sacha Fix-It spray... I've only used it once, but so far so good. My make-up held up for 8+ hours. Will do a full review once I've used it enough.

NYX Full Coverage Concealer in Beige & Nutmeg Muscade... I used the beige for highlighting, it's 2 to 3 shades lighter than my complexion and it worked out fine, it blends well unto the skin, this shade is perfect for highlighting for me because I don't like my highlights to bright. Nutmeg I used as a contour, it works but a darker shade would have been ideal for my complexion.

Sacha Fix it Concealer... used as a highlighter for under brow bone, one shade lighter than my complexion so this works for me. Haven't tried it as a corrector because I don't have blemishes. May try it as a highlighter soon.

If you would like me to post about how to correctly match products/colours to your undertone, please comment below and I'd be happy to write a post.

Three must have beauty products this summer!

Garnier BB Cream & EOS Lip Balm #frontcamera #nofilter  It’s no surprise that I love makeup, so I’m always out looking for new products to experiment with. Two of these three products were introduced to me by my girlfriend and the third one is just something that’s been trending a couple years now. I came across the first product while at my girlfriends’ house, as y’all may know I’ve been doing the hair extensions thing a few months now. I love my extensions light weight & ‘flowy’ so I avoided putting oil based products in it, until I discovered KERATIN, Brazillian Tech by one ‘n only. I got it at pennywise & it was only $36.95. A coin size amount in the palm of your hands, rub it together & evenly distribute it through the hair and I instantly fell in love. It’s a treatment with pequi oil for straightened, permed or colour-treated hair so of course it can be used on your natural hair too. This literally gives my extensions life. I use it once every coup...

Simple Glam (Night out with the girls)

 Hey everyone, club season is back and in full swing in Trinidad and as opposed to carnival the fashion for ‘clubbing season’ as it’s fondly called is two very different things. Let me explain, carnival has a more casual fashion outlook mainly because most of the events are outdoor, the capacity of patrons at one event also the nature of a fete (live performances etc). Club fashion has more of a glamorous outlook because of its indoor nature consisting of ‘little black dresses’, skirts, blazers etc. My first after carnival outfit was this black and white, close-fitting, above mid-knee length, armhole, cotton dress. I immediately fell in love with it because I can dress it up or down. I like unique pieces but I absolutely love clothes that I can dress up or down. I paired it with black pumps (sorry I didn’t get a shot of them). I wore a pair of mid-size silver hoops, a silver ring, white & silver MK watch and a black clutch with silver lining. When going for a glam loo...
