My makeup Collection: The Balm Cosmetics.

I've only recently discovered The balm in the last two years. They are such great products and so I've built myself up a good collection. 

The Mary-lou manzier.

This is my holy grail highlighter. I absolutely adore it.

I have been wearing it every single day since I got it. It is such a beautiful champagne colour. Which is beautiful on most skin tones. It does have a yellow/ gold base which I am all about but for someone who is extermly pale they might not be to keen on it.

However, I love it so much that I went out & bought a second one just in case, which I don't think I've ever done before so that just shows you. Any client I use it on is blown away with how beautiful it is.

I love it on its own but recently, I have been spraying my brushes with fix plus and then applying the highlight. I thought I couldn't love this highlighter more but when using this method its even more amazing.

I just love the way this applies to the skin it is so smooth and intense. I can't say anymore than love love love..go out & buy it now!!

Bahama Mama Bronzer

I love this product, but not as a bronzer. I use it as a contour powder. The pigment from this is insane! You literally just need to tap your brush in really lightly to get an amazing contour. It such such a gorgeous shade. 

I would highly recommend this powder, it will last for ages because the pigment  is so strong.

 The cindy-lou manizer

This highlighter is amazing for fair skinned beauty's. It has a pink undertone to it, if you like mac soft & gentle I think you will love this highlighter also. I personally dont reach for this as much as for my mary-lou but I always use it on fair skinned clients.

Blush- Tolie

Again this blush will last you forever as it is sooo pigmented. The packaging wouldn't make you think that the product is high quality as it is. Its a gorgeous coral shade which I always tend to go for in blush. It not my all time favorite blush but it is lovely once your light handed with it.

Meet Matt(e) hughes- Liquid lipsticks.

Honest (coral/orange) & Chivalrous ( bright pink) :

These liquid lipsticks smell like a candy cane, they are so fab. I like how they are not too creamy going on the lips and dont dry to quickly. They wear very nicely, without needing to touch up for the day. 

Price: €15.50

Nude tude- eyeshadow pallet.

These shadows are lovely and creamy, the shadows are all very neutral and easy to wear. I love how the pallet is a mix of matte & shimmer meaning you can create lots of different eye looks. It comes with a double sided application brush which if I'm honest has never been taken out of its slot. But the eye shadows are beautiful. Its great value if you work it out you get each eyeshadow for like €2.50

The shadows are really lovely quality, if your looking for a nice neutral pallet this one is a gorgeous one.

Time Balm: Primer

I'm not a huge primer fan if im completely honest. Some people swear by it and would be shocked at the fact that I dont wear it. I never felt I had to wear primer as my skin wouldn't be overly oily & my makeup does tend to last. This primer is full of Vitiamin A, C & E thats what drew me to the primer because I love anything with vitiamin E in it. I don't tend to reach for this alot it makes my skin feel very soft but for me I don't feel like it does anything to actually keep my foundation on longer. Its just something I haven't noticed from it. It is nice however, I will conintue to use it and try see if there is a difference.

Mrs. Write now eyeliners.

I love a good twirl up eyeliner they always tend to be much more creamy than the regular wooden barrel one. I find the colours I have our brillant as a 'just incase' in my kit but I don't tend to use these on myself or clients all the time simply because they are overly wearable. However the formula is beautiful and I have found lots of ways to use these colours, but you can always pick out colours to suit yourself.

Smoke balm

I got this eyeshadow as a present, and its completely out of my comfort zone as it is all cool colours. However, I love it. If you want to push your boundaries and stop using so many warm tones (like me) then this is a prefect pallet to help you with that transition. I adore the matte grey colour in this pallet.

Mineral eyeshadow pots- No money no honey.

I love this pigment, it is a beautiful champagne gold colour which is gorgeous on the lids. It is also gorgeous as an inner corner highlight or even as a face highlighter. I used it here on Emma's lids.

Pretty smart lip gloss.

 

I'm not really a gloss girl, if I am wearing a gloss I love a nude over a lip liner. But this colour is so beautiful and the colour is so opaque. Its a prefect colour to keep in your bag to go from day to night.
