Another week, another selection of product picks. This week has been a complete mix of makeup picks, the beginning of the week was spent with long days at Pure London, so makeup with lasting power was necessary, the middle of the week was a time of "Urgh, I'll just chuck on a tinted moisturiser and a bit of mascara and be done with life", and I rounded off the week with a date night look, something natural but with a slightly smokey eye. However, there were a few standout products for me, so I thought I'd mention them anyway.
First up, the polish I've been rocking this week. As we all know, my nail art capabilities extend to not getting polish up my arm, if that happens I consider my at home mani a success, so despite seeing a ton of gorgeous Valentines themed nail tutorials on my Bloglovin' feed this week, I went for a one coat wonder. I picked up the Models Own Glitter Polish in Pink Fizz in their January 50% Off Sale, and it's love. One coat delivers an opaque glitter nail, in a beautiful pale metallic pink. Perfect for Valentines day!
This week I rediscovered my love for the MAC Paint Pot in Constructivist, a deep chocolate brown with a hint of metallic sheen. As a general rule I use my Painterly Paint Pot as a base for shadows most days, but I was enjoying a darker, smokier eye this week, and used Constructivist as a base. It made the shadows appear darker and smokier on my eyes, and I really liked the change of pace (it reminded me of my former scene kid self). I was pairing this with the MAC Eyeshadow in Sketch over the top, and it looked gorgeous (if I do say so myself).
The last product I wanted to mention is the Topshop Lipstick in Beatnik, a muted berry pink shade. It's a creamy lipstick so the lasting power isn't the greatest, but it's one of those colours that looks great with every look, and is super easy to wear.
I hope you've all had a great week, let me know in the comments what you've been up to, and what products you've been loving!
