MYSTICAL MAKE UP AND BEAUTY

As You know I have oily skin, and it starts to shine after a while, my skin absorbs the foundation and in few hours no foundation left on my skin and this is so frustrating

I have used this foundation few times and I really like the texture and stay. I like the silky touch of this foundation

I used this foundation with Angled Foundation Brush, traditional foundation brush , MAC duo fibre 187  and beauty blender

I get the best results with my beauty blender.

On the first few uses the foundation was a bit more concentrate but when I was doing my makeup to shoot these pictures for my blog I noticed it is a bit fluid now,  I forget to shake it before I use it, maybe that’s the reason.

It stays 4-5 hours and it is quite nice, if I am out all day it means I do not have to go for ladies room and do a patchwork on my makeup

I did not use any primers when I was shooting these photos and my camera was insisting on not to capture good photos.

The packing of the mattifiying foundation is quite similar to Smashbox HD Foundation, plastic bottle with a pump.

I like the foundations with a pump this allows me to get the right amount of foundation to my hand and than build up the look.

Ok If you did not heard of Blackup Cosmetics It’s quite normal, as they are based in France & United States.

Their makeup products targets ethnic girls, the girls who are not really white and blonde.

I tired MAC, Loreal, Maybelline, Lancome, you name it, they are either too pink, brown or yellow.

I just purchased 2 Illamasqua and still not the right one.

I never had any break outs with any foundations before, I did not experience any break outs on this It is a bit strange but I did not have any break outs, spots with Black Up Cosmetics Foundation before but this time I start to have break outs

As you can see on this one I have foundation layered on my hand it is still not pigmented.

On This Palette we have pinks, purples. yellow & brown, telling us that spring is on the way.

Spring Hazy Days is a bit more pigmented than this one but this year I have to say I did not like this,

I do not own much 17 eye shadows few mono and one trio eye shadow but those are much more pigmented than these palettes.

Now you can say you can get the quality as much as you pay. NO this is not true.

There are lots of affordable brands out there and they have good and bad products.

This does not mean that if I pay more I will get a better quality, each brand have best and worst products.

So 17 might be on the cheaper side but they follow the latest trends. But please just a little bit more pigmentation 17.

17 might not be popular among the more mature girls but I like their colour scheme.

Tell me if you purchased this palette and what do you think?

If you want to read my post on Hazy Days and see my Swatches Please click  Boots17 Spring Filling Eye Shadow Palette Hazy Days

Boots 17 Cosmetics created 2 New Eye Shadow Palettes for us this spring,  Hazy Days & Spring Filling, This review will be a review for Hazy Days, I will do a separate review for Spring Days.

These swatch are over foundation.

I swatched this on bare hand.

I liked 17 Hazy Days Eye Shadow Palette, nice combination of browns, gold & greens.

But as you can see from swatches, they are not pigmented if you are looking for a pigmented eye shadow, than this not your cup of tea,  all of the eye shadows are shimmery. If you like shimmery eye shadows than go for it. But for me this is an other eye shadow palette will go to my friend or cousin, as I seriously did not like it at all. Wish did not even purchased them

I think packaging looks so cheap but when you look into rose shaped eye shadow it looks nice but when you swatched them.you say oh no..

This eye shadow also creases whether you use it with or without a primer.

I like some of 17 products like their nail polishes, like their primer, but it does not mean that I am going to like all of their products and say nice things about it

This time 17 I am sorry but this is not good…

£6.99 in boots or online.

Do you have this eye shadow palette and what do you think?

Sorry about the nails, I do not have steady hands, they are quite shaky.

This little thing is if I am not wrong £4 and it is absolutely very sheer this is after 3 coats and it still not giving me the colour I want to achieve

I just hate layering nail polishes. 

I am so in love with ILLAMASQUA!!!!  Our love is so deep that it is impossible to break us apart.

They do not do new collections every so often, but when they do, they do the best.

I hate to see the RP products every so often.

It is a kind a brown purple shade

The colour pays off quickly if you  have oily lids

You can either apply with your fingers or use MAC 252 large synthetic brush

I sometimes use this as an eye liner but it does not really work as this very creamy, it needs to be a bit solid to use as cream liner.

It’s not really pigment, it’s pity because it is really a nice shade..

I am not sure if you apply few coats would it change the stay.

This is a very generous bronzer,  if we consider it is big and the price it worth's every penny

I loved the gold animal print on it

The bad part is animal print does not last long and it goes off very quickly

Actually this is the first bronzer that I can use it all over my face. 

It is not so dark and it is not so light,

I love the way it combines with my skin.

I use foundation every day , as I have big dark circles sometimes if I only use concealer or powder it just does not look nice, but with this bronzer after I apply my concealer

It gives me a fresh look and glow,  Sometimes I am lazy and I do not wear foundation , it is not long lasting but if I am out for a couple of hours than it is pretty handy for me.

It combines with my skin

It does looks natural

So I can not ask for more.

I use a kabuki brush or Shu Uemura 18R Goat Hair Brush

Shu Uemura’s brush is a bit wide and you can just sweep the bronzer to your face.
