FOTD

Hello beauty bloggers...

I thought I would do a FOTD as I haven't done one in a while...Like I always say I don't use mac and most of my makeup is drugstore unless otherwise stated.....

In daylight

Inside in front of lighted mirror

I wanted this look to be a bit more of a natural pink wash....So I have used the following products...

Elf tinted moisturiser in spice as i am fake tanned at the mo

Avon mineral foundation - I buffed this over the top of the Elf  moisturiser as i like the more made up look and the finish

Bronzer- all over my face and contoured my cheeks

UDPP - over lid for a base

Le Femme - Pink e/shad over lid up to crease (review in previous post)

Le Femme - lighter pink up to brow bone and blended the two colors together

Eyeliner - purple on top & bottom lash line and went over with pink e/shadow used earlier to smudge it in

Mascara - 3 coats and curled lashes

Brows - used matt dark brown & black to sculpt my brows the shape i wanted them

Used Elf shimmer palette - pink shade just under brow to highlight (will be doing a review on this product this week)

Cheeks - pink blusher on apples and blended towards my hair line

Lips - outlined lips with pink pencil and applied pink lipstick then gloss over the top...

Pink & purple eyeshadow look done!!

So what do you think ladies????

La Femme eyeshadow compact

Hi my little lovelies....

Today I am going to review the La Femme 5 eyeshadow palette in different shades of pink...

La Femme eyeshadow palette in pinks

Swatches

(L-R)

Sorry no numbers or names for the shades??

1.Peachy pink

2. Mid pink (could use as a cheek highlighter)

3. Dark pink

4. very light pink (great for highlighting)

5. very light green..??? (highlighting)

I purchased this palette from e bay and it was around the £1.79 mark + P&P...so really inexpensive.  As you can see from the palette the colors are quite chalky but quite pigmented and the packaging is great as you can see your colors through the palette and the clear plastic is quite sturdy and it wont fall apart the first time you use it..

 When I did my fotd I found that even with my UDPP I had to build up the color..but only slightly. When I opened the palette the eyeshadows all had a fine layer of glitter covering them..(why do they do this???)...when I applied the shadows i did have some fall...but nothing to shout about. In future I think I would wipe the fine layer off the glitter as it has no use at all. 

The brushes (as usual) were rubbish..they shouldnt have bothered as they were those horrible scratchy foam applicators..yuk!!! straight in the bin they went.... 

This palette does have a few good highlighting colors whether its for highlighting under your brows/cupid bow or cheeks...I will actually try this out on a FOTD in the future and see how it works. Actually I could see it working really well pressed on top of a light pink lipstick which would make your lipstick stay on longer and give a real shimmer to your lips..

This is my FOTD..dont ask me why I am pulling this stupid face!!! hahahah
How I achieved this FOTD is in the previous post

So overall......

For...

I liked the compact design and the colors

Colors have a good pigment

Wicked price

Sturdy palette design

Love the clear plastic packaging

Against...

Colors are a bit chalky

Hated the glitter on top of the shadows

Can get a bit of fallout & color needs a bit of building even with an eyelid primer

So whats your verdict ladies???      Would you purchase???
