While in London, I came, I walked and I shopped. Not only books like I showed you last week, but also some make up products. Rather than doing a haul, I decided to record a video where I try some of those new products live on my face. I also give you a full recap at the end to show you how well the make up lasted throughout a full day of wear. I hope you enjoy this type of video, it’s something different again, and let me know in a comment below what your favorite product is that I used!
Let’s put some new make up to the test!
The look here may not look too over the top, but I used 10 (!!) different eye shadows to create it. I just wanted to try as many shades from the new limited edition Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette as I possibly could. Other than that there is a new foundation, concealer and face powder. I believe the only two items I used to create this look that are good old favorites are my eye shadow primer and my mascara. Everything else was new and I hadn’t tried it before apart from some swatches.
Products used:
- Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer
- Soap & Glory Archery 2-in-1 Brow Sculpting Crayon & Gel
- L’Oreal Brow Artist Plumper Blonde
- L’Oreal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation in Porcelain
- Rimmel Match Perfection concealer in Ivory
- Make Up Revolution Ultra Contour Palette (yellow shade)
- Soap & Glory Solar Powder bronzer
- Make Up Revolution Ultra Contour Palette (ashy brown shade)
- Make Up Revolution Ultra Contour Palette (soft pink shade)
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting blush Mood Exposure
- Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass eye shadow palette: Paradox, Salazen Grum, Lily, Looking Glass, Duchess, Metamorphosis, Chronosphere, Dormouse, Reflection, Time
- NYX Liquid Suede liquid lipstick Tea & Cookies
The eye look was just something I threw together on the fly. There is a mix of cool tones and warm tones that work surprisingly well together. I used most of my favorite shades from the palette and I think the resulting look is quite stunning, be it a bit out there for daily use.
Overall, I felt confident in this look. The lipstick didn’t last very long but I think I need to give it a good chance to let it dry so it can stay put a little bit better. The foundation and concealer were very nice and some of my favorites here. The contour faded quite a bit throughout the day, but I like the quality of the powders nonetheless. My brows were also on point and there are definitely products here that will becomes favorites in my stash.

[…] is the look I created in my first impression make up video. So feel free to click here to view that. I kept this first look quite neutral, while adding a few pops of color. Who’d have thought […]
