Mac Eyeshadow - Moonflower

I am in love with Ebay at the moment. My most recent purchase is this beautiful Mac Eyeshadow in the shade Moonflower. Now, im no expert on Mac, but i do know that you have to be very carful when ordering products online as i have come across a few fakes. However, i have googled the death out of this item and have found its a discontunued shade. Am i right? The seller added in the description that it is 100% genuine, and she is only seeling it cheap because she wants rid as she is having a huge clearout. She also had over 2000 possitive feedback results and most of her other selling items were high end products. 

Iv taken a good look at the pagkaging after watching and reading blogs about how to spot Mac fakes, and this one looks pretty geniune to me. What do you guys think?

The colour is a dark grey - blue with slight silver shimmer to it. 

Perfect for adding a little something to a smokey eye. 

I tried so many times to get a shot of the name, but my camera refused me tonight. This is the best i could get. Sorry guys. 

Please ignore my amazing jammies :) 

This is the eyeshadow swatched. The first is it swatched straight from pot to finger to arm. The second is it blended out slightly. 

When swatched it is a little lighter than it is in the pan, but it is still such a pretty colour.

Even if it isnt a real mac eyeshadow,(im pretty certain its real) im still in love with it.

Garnier BB Cream

I have been using this little beauty so much lately. 

Its the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector - Blemish Balm Cream.

It comes in a tube very much similar to a hand cream or some foundation bottles, with a flip cap. 

You get 50ml in a bottle which currently retails at £7.49 from Boots. At the moment it is on offer, the 'normal' retail prices is around £10.00

I have the lightest shade available. I think there are only 2 shades, Light and Medium. 

I have tried the medium out and that is far too dark for my skin tone and would say it is more of a dark shade than a medium shade. 

When i first tried it out, i had no idea what i was doing with it. I didn't know if it was a moisturising cream, a face primer, foundation or a tinted moisturiser. 

After using it for around 4 months i have found that it is very versatile. I tend to use it as a face primer, but it is very wearable on its own. It has a very light consistency that is buildable to give a light coverage similar to a tinted moisturiser.

When first applied it is has a very thick consistency that feels quite silky. 

Once you rub it into you skin it turns into a light liquid and almost leaves a dewy finish to the skin. 

After a few seconds of leaving it to set i can no longer feel it on my skin, but it is definitely visible. 

My skin is no longer red, and the dark patches under my eyes aren't as obvious. It definitely does its job.

Most of the time i just leave it at that and add a little blusher or setting powder over the top. On the days i wear foundation, i can easily apply it over. 

I would recommend this product to anyone, even if they are looking for a face primer. 

MUA Immaculate Collection Palette

This gorgeous palette is from the professional line. If im right, it was a free gift over the christmas period. 

I was given this by a good friend of mine. 

There are 25 amazing shades in this palette, ranging from matt, pearl and shimmer finishes.

It has deffinatly been my go to palette latetly. You can create so many look. 

Swatches L-R

Top Row. 

The 3rd colour in the bottom row (in this image) is deffinatly one of my favourite shades. 

 Middle Row. 

 Bottom Row. 

The retail price of this £8 from Superdrug, which is a complte bargin. As you can see all the colours are highly pigmented. I have found they are very blendable and easy to work with. It is deffinatly a must have for all make up collections! 

The only downside i have found is that of the 2nd to last colour. It is a matte brown shade and doesnt give much pay off. It looks like the perfect colour for a nude-smokey eye look. Its such a shame its not very good in this palette. 

All the colours are numberd, as with  most of MUA products. They dont have names, unlike most brands. I think this is something the company should look into.
