Oh Luna! Creative

Here are my favourite beauty products from the previous month:

IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Matte Eyeshadow Palette Vol. 1

I use at least one shade from this palette on a daily basis. (Usually Sheer Joy as a brow bone highlight. It is an absolute delight!)  I love the range of natural matte shades this palette offers and for “$42” from Sephora this palette was a bargain. (For Australian prices). The colours, whilst pigmented, are so blend-able that its possible to sit there and blend them out to nothing. This makes the palette great for beginners. I will do a more in depth review of this palette with swatches soon.

bareminerals MarvelousMOXIE lipgloss in Maverick

 I've only just started re-embracing glosses after cutting my hair. Before cutting my hair, the wind + gloss + long hair situation was too much for me as it does get quite windy where I live.
This particular gloss was given to me as a christmas gift. At first, I didn't think the colour would suit me at all. However, this colour is absolutely dead on perfect! Although it's has a slight shimmer to it, this shade is flattering and quite natural looking. (Well, as natural as a gloss can look.) But I think that the colour is just 100% perfect for everyday wear. It's a bit darker and browner than my natural lip colour but I love it! It has easily become one of my go to colours when i'm on the run and pretty much lives in my bag with Mac's 'Twig'. It is also one of those stinging lip plumping glosses. (If you're into that.)

MAC Kelly Osbourne 219SE Pencil brush

I picked up this brush at a sale randomly. I literally picked it up and thought, “I don’t have one of these, it looks useful, i’ll get it”. And how amazingly useful it has been! I don’t even know how I had been living without this brush. 

Blusher brush
I think this just randomly made it into the picture for stability. Just a normal everyday blusher brush, not much to see here.

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW SPF 25 Brightening Makeup Liquid Foundation

Bobbi Brown CC Cream in Warm Nude w/ SPF 35

Benefit They’re Real Push-up Gel Liner

It really took me some time to figure out how to use this. I’d turn the clicker to load the product and it would work on paper but not my face, it was absolutely befuddling for so long. Eventually, I was able to work it out though. I like how this liner allows me to create a thinner line closer to the lashes than I can achieve with liquid, which I usually end up splashing everywhere. (I have a hard time keeping still, sometimes.)

Mac Mineralise Multi Effect Lash Mascara

This is now my everyday mascara. I got it in a sample bag at a fashion seminar but I love it because its super liquidy and lengthens my lashes. I don't think it does much for volume though but I have other mascaras I'll use for that.

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in L’ecole Des Femmes

This is my most recent purchase from this post and only just makes the April cut. I’ve been so attracted to corals this season despite winter coming up in a month. The colour pinker than usual for a coral. I found it unique to many of the corals already existing in my collection, so naturally I had to have it.

MAC Satin Finish Lipstick in Twig

Another one of my everyday favourite colours. This colour is so flattering and I love it. I’ll usually wear it to work where I try to keep my makeup as natural looking as possible. Again this colour is just a bit darker and browner than my natural colour but it has a much lighter pink undertone than the Marvellous Moxie gloss I also frequent. 

Luma Natural Beauty by Jess Hart Illuminating Highlighter

This is by far the best illuminator i’ve come by as it’s not too obvious with the shimmer. It gives this believable dewy glow to your cheeks and thats what you need on those days you want to give the impression “I just woke up like this!”.

Benefit Feeling Dandy Lip & Cheek Kit

-PosieTint Lip Tint
I do prefer the regular red lip tint that Benefit does (Bene-tint) but this colour isn't so bad, it's just barely there on me though. I only get the slightest pink tint from it.

-High Beam Highlighter
I have both this and Sunbeam and I love both! High Beam is more of a pink/silver highlighter and Sun Beam gives more of a bronze/gold glow. Both are more shimmery than the previously mentioned Luma Highlighter.

-Ultra Plush Dandelion Lipgloss
This is a pretty good standard gloss, as i've mentioned earlier I didn't really use glosses much in the past because of my super long hair. But I do use this over drier lipsticks that need some added moisture.

-Dandelion Blush
This is the highlight of this kit! For a while there i couldn't bring myself to use this blush as it was too pretty but eventually I did and it is absolutely wondrous! It gives me this beautiful romantic glow and I love it.

Do you agree or disagree?

What are some of your favourite beauty products at the moment?

Also i'm looking for a good lip primer, if anyone could recommend one for me that would be amazing!

Thanks guys,
