Thought I’d do a quick drive thru of the beauty products that I’ve mentioned on www.themodeledit.com at some point during the past year, and have kept their seat in the constituency known as my make up bag.
Clockwise; Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion -Anti Ageing Has always delivered in my world of laughter lines, wrinkles and general lack of respect for any eye shadow I might be wearing. This little primer stands its ground and ignores distractions that might otherwise allow my eye make up to slide down my face, creating an American Horror Story the Coven series, ( demented but addictive) allure. Urban Decay states that you will experience; ‘all-day, crease-free shadow, more vibrant color and smoother application’.I did and do.
Topshop Glow Highlighter in Gleam This is a cream highlighter. Blend cream onto highlights of face to accentuate and boost your erstwhile hidden radiance. Yep, that is what I’ve secretly been doing. I pat this little preparation onto any bone structure that I can find that day, and out I go all cheekbones and brow bones. Don’t be all disbelieving. You definitely can use this, for sure you have some stuff that could stand a daub.
Pommade Divine This stoic and unique formula has combined the natural restorative and nourishing properties of four magic healing essential oils. These essential oils are; Benzoin- with its antibacterial properties. Cloves- with its antiseptic and insect repellant properties, Cinnamon-with its anticoagulant and anti fungal properties, Nutmeg-can help reduce appearance of scars and acne. Honestly, doesn’t that cover a whole load of unattractive eventualities occurring on your body and in your home? Truly when I graze myself or have pre chapped lips, its far more fun to say ‘pass the pomade’ than ‘got any ointment?’ Truly a blend of base essential oils blended to make a balm worthy of an alchemist. Other balms/pommades are imposters. This is the original and because of its spectrum of talents, every home should have a pot.
Random I know but this band of saviour products just marches on;
Oz Naturals Retinol Moisturiser. Anti wrinkle, Anti Aging cream.I’m down with that. In a moment of breaking out mentally, and wishing to avoid the physical breakout threats, I started looking for alternatives to the fancy pants moisturisers that cost millions but are in debt re results. I found the Oz Natural reviews, liked their ethos, general integrity of ingredients and no animal testing, so ordered a few products. All of them have outperformed other more recognised brands that I’ve tried. My skin loved the moisturiser, a lovely ‘top of the milk’ colour, quite odourless and absorbed perfectly. It accepts all kinds of make up to sit on its face and lasts the course. Very smooth well nourished skin is what I give to you via this gem. I’ve since re ordered both the moisturiser and the Facial Toner. The Facial Toner has glycolic acid and Ocean Minerals in it and a spritz of this babe is like a waft of sea spray coming at you. For me, horribly redheaded,in possession of all epidermal delights pertaining thereto and with very argumentative skin, lovely Oz Naturals products are part of my mutating skincare regime, which means that they’re always in the squad and generally make the A team. Great pricing too.
Chanel’s Beaute Des Cils Nourishing Mascara Base I have friends who think that conditioner for eyelashes may just be the chocolate teapot of cosmetics. The breeze created by me winking at them may refute that belief. Aren’t my eyelashes a form of hair? Would I ever wash my hair without a conditioner chaser? Not unless horizontal ‘beehives’ ever appear on a Vogue cover. It’s not as simple as that anyway, no, no. Layer your lashes with Chanel lusciousness and your mascara will do as it’s told.In fact Urban Outfitters Eyeshadow Primer and Chanel nourishing Mascara Base, are a symbiosis and you haven’t gone anywhere near a biology lab. It’s a fantastic product, long-lasting and quite certainly eyelash lengthening . Pay the cash and get the lash (es).
