Weekly Make-up Shuffle #3

Hi, I have been very busy and haven't done a weekly make-up shuffle for a few weeks. Heres this weeks, i will be using a palette i seem to have neglected for a while.


(L-R: Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation, Vivo Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss in Raspberry Sorbet, Hard Candy Glossaholic in Fabulous, Coastal Scents Lip Smack in Near Peach, MUA Lip Boom in Vibe (the gloss end is laying across the top), Vivo Lipstick in Very Berry, MUA Lipstick Shade 4, Sleek Lash Out mascara in Black, MUA Mosaic Blush, No7 Cheek Tint in Peach Silk and Smashbox Eye Wish Palette (i think 2009 edition).

Heres what i'm using:
Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation - my shade is 100 Ivory. This foundation is a great match to my warm skin tone. It doesn't go pinky or orange on me. My skin isn't looking great this week so i'm going back to foundation. I usually used a tinted moisturiser, or this year a BB cream, during the summer (whats that?!?!) as its lighter on the skin.

Vivo Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss in Raspberry Sorbet - This is a squeezy tube lipgloss with a brush applicator which i really like. Is a decently pigmented red gloss thats still semi-sheer with some shimmer.

Hard Candy Glossaholic in Fabulous - you might have seen these in my holiday haul, they are on my list to review properly. This one is a light pinky rose with flakie glitter, the base is quite opaque so the effect is quite subtle.

Coastal Scents Lip Smack in Near Peach - a soft peachy color with shimmer (added by me), these are quite thin in texture and not very long wearing but are well pigmented.

MUA Lip Boom in Vibe - A newish product from MUA with a matte lipstick on one end and a complimentry shade of gloss on the other for all over or to highlight the lip. This one is a browny toned neutral.

Vivo Lipstick in Very Berry - this is a reddy/purple berry shade, not too dark with some subtle golden shimmer. This is like a lipstick version of MUA's lipgloss in shade 4 for those who have it.

MUA Lipstick Shade 4 - this looks like an bright pastel pink that would be completely unwearable except thats its almost completely sheer. Gives a lovely pink hint to the lips and is a great everyday shade to brighten up the face.

Sleek Lash Out Mascara - I bought this as it claimed to be a mascara that gives great length and volume in just one stroke... i think i tried it once and it got lost in my makeup collection. Its coming back out this week for a proper test.

MUA Mosaic Blush - for some reason i have never worn this, i think it got overshadowed by my love of the single £1 blushes (especially shades 1,2and5).

No7 Cheek Tint in Peach Silk - this is a more recent purchase with a No7 £5 off voucher so worked out very cheap. Only used once so far and love the peach glow, i think this would look lovely worn layered underneath a shimmer pinky blush.

Smashbox Eye Wish Palette - 12 Eyeshadow shades and 4 Liners. It also contains a mini Photo Finish Eye Primer. I seem to have neglected this palette recently, it has a great combination of neautrals and a few colours making it very versatile. Hopefully I will rediscover my love of this palette this week.

Thanks for reading!
