EOTD- Sunset

Hello,

So here was the results of another experiment with the Rio Rio palette from sleek, it's quite a bold look and was inspired by a sunset I saw so here goes. 

Primed with essence eyeshadow base

Applied city of god on the centre of my lid

Essence Silky touch blushers

Hello,

These blushers are £2.00 each which is a bargain, they're extremely pigmented and for such a reasonable price you can't go wrong. They're 3 for 2 at the moment in Wilko's which makes them even cheaper.

The packaging is nice and allows you to see the product. I like this because it allows me to make a quick decision on the product I want to wear that day, wear as Sleek blushers you can't see into the packaging which is slightly annoying. 

The consistency is slightly cheap feeling in that it feels like talc, but it blends easily on to the cheeks and this can be over looked. Overall I would highly recommend these blushers because they're easy to use and extremely affordable, coming in a variety of colours.

What's in my travel makeup bag

Hello,

So this is the travel makeup I took with me on my recent trip to Scotland, in retrospect I possibly took too many eyeshadow palettes, and although I did use every single colour and product that I took with me. Despite taking the rio rio palette which I'll admit isn't the most travel friendly, but like I said I did use everything.

Essence I heart stage eyeshadow base

Hello,

So today's review is on the essence I heart stage eyeshadow base, I picked mine up for £2.50 in Wilko's they also have a 3 for 2 across all cosmetics at the moment so it might be worth checking them out for some drugstore makeup. 

In the past the only eyeshadow primer I've used has been the urban decay one, which I swear by, and unfortunately for me it's still better than the essence one. I want you to bare in mine however that my eyelids are very oily, which is extremely annoying and with the recent hot spell of weather we've been having in Britain they've been very oily. 

I tend to wear my makeup for about 8 hours a day if not longer so I really need products that will last me for a long time. The essence eyeshadow base lasts me about 6 hours and then I begin to notice creasing, which is still amazing and for that reason I will continue to use it, but it's annoying because I need it to last for 8 hours. 

I think on someone with less oily eyelids, this will be a gem that you won't want to stop using. But personally for me it won't be a repurchase and I'll have to fork out for the Urban Decay one again, because I need the longevity in a product and this essence on doesn't quite cut it.
