Makeup Forever HD Foundation

NEVER AGAIN!
This foundation is absolutely terrible!

This foundation has received nothing but positive feedback throughout the beauty community, which I do not understand. But I am here to change that, this foundation suck.
Its expensive and hard to purchase in Australia, but WORST of all, it makes your face incredibly oily!
Yuck.

This foundation may work for you, but it does not work for me.

Mac Paint Pot

~Rubenesque

This product has a lot of great reviews out there, but I suggest not to believe the hype. However, this product may work for you. Or maybe I possibly got a dud.
This was my first Mac Paint Pot and was very disappointed with it.

The pigmentation is pretty pethatic, like come on M.A.C? We pay about $30 for these here.
The consistancy is creamy and smooth to touch, but it doesnt translate to your eyes at all.
The colour comes of very blotchy on my eyes, and everytime I have used it, I blend it like crazy to try and fix the blotches, but this doesn't seem to help.

If your looking to buy M.A.C products I deffinatly suggest buying something else.

 Flirt Rock-N-Rebel eyeshadow trio

~ Pink Rocker
To start this post, I would just like to mention the terrible packaging of this product. As you can see in the picture on my kitchen bench, the packaging looks pretty cheap, nasty and tacky.

First off, these eyeshadows are very chalky.
Secondly, The colour pay off is pretty bad.
As a result of this, the shadows appear dull and rather ugly on your eyes.
Thirdly, The product is quite rough when it should be a smooth consistancy. Thus makeing the product vey hard to blend.

The Darkest shade is not terrible, but not great either. I am not sure as to how much this product costs overseas but here, it is deffinatly not worth the money for one wearable colour.

 Smashbox Lash DNA mascara

This product has four 'fatal flaws' as I shall call them.
These are :
  • It makes my lashes look thin, not thick and beautiful like you expect from a mascara.
  • It hardly adds length.
  • It makes my lashes feel brittle and dead.
  • And finally, its way over-priced. At least for us Australians. 
Although this product is bad, I do think the idea behind it is great.
The wand is really quite nice and the package is sleek.
This product would be fine for school or a work environment where heavy makeup is not accepted, as it only adds a slight benefit to your lashes. Oh, and have money to splash out on a mascara like this

Covergirl Natureluxe Foundation

My sister purchased this foundation a while back and really loved it, so I decided to try it out seeing as it was 40% off at a local store.

I must say, this product is not what I hoped for.
I like a medium-full coverage matte, or slightly glowy foundation.

I do NOT like to look like I stuck my face in a deep fryer. This foundation made my skin terribly greasy. I do have oily skin, but not to the extreme this foundation makes it look.

The foundation does not provide any coverage   whatsoever either which makes it pretty much.. well.. useless.

Of coarse this foundation would probably be fine for anyone with dryer skin and a great complection, but for me, it just doesn't do the job.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette 

~ Nude beach shadow 

This pallete as a whole I must say is great, beautiful colours that have a gorgeous texture and great pigmentation. The palette is completely appropriate for everyday wear.


However the Nude beach shadow is wretched! And to be brief, here is a list of my issues with this shadow:
  • The fallout is RIDICULOUS, whenever I use this shade I end up with glitter all down my face, which is not a good look.
  • This fallout is bad for my pores. Sooo.. Uhm.. thats bad too right?
  • When I use the shadow and get as much of the glitter out of the shadow as possible it looks the same as one of the other shades in the pallete, which just seems like a complete waste of money.
