A Skin care first pressed powder!

Contains70% mineral-based ingredients and 8x Hyaluronic Acid Types Exclusive Technology.

 Vegan and clean formula & Talc free.

Perfect for on the go or if you dislike the mess of a loose powder complete with integrated mirror & puff to keep your makeup perfected and protected all day.

A translucent pressed powder that sets, mattifies, blurs imperfections, fills in pores, fines lines & wrinkles on the skin without drying out the skin. Oils are controlled whilst keeping the skin in its natural radiance.

Skin really does look flawless and perfectly smooth personally I love the way it magically erases my pores and fine lines!

The science bit!

The 8x Hyaluronic Acid Types Exclusive Technology in three molecular weights 

- The high-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid delivers immediate and intensive hydration to the surface layers of the skin and prevents dehydration.

- The medium-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid plumps the skin and provides a smoother skin surface.

- The low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid ensures a deeper, long-lasting hydration of the epidermis.

My Pro tip! Apply a very small amount to a brush/puff and press onto the back of your hand prior to application so that you do not apply to much product in one application, then build and layer by applying two to three times in the same way.

Application results in the complexion looking matte and even. Imperfections such as open pores are definitely disguised. This powder is perfect for creating a full matte finish.

I would recommend this for paler skins as I do find you have to apply quite a bit of bronzer and or blush to warm the face after application so it would not be the best option for all skin tones in my opinion!

Overall I love this powder it is a new firm staple in my personal makeup bag as well as in my professional kit.

FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! Mascara

As a long time lover of Charlotte Tilbury 'Legendary Lashes Volume 2' mascara I was eager to try out the new much hyped 'Pillow Talk Push up Lashes!' mascara.

Firstly it looks nice! This mascara is beautifully packaged in rose gold and pale pink, a makeup lovers dream.  

I quickly noticed it is "super" jet black and I mean "super" to without doubt instantly define and add volume to lashes.

Smudge proof, humidity proof and no lash curler is apparently needed... although I have still been using my curlers and have not noticed a significant difference...

This mascara will definitely achieve volume, length and stretch lashes plus has a 24 hour vertical lift effect!

Your eyes will instantly appear bigger, brighter and more awake, now who doesn't want that?

How to apply it and yes you do need instructions!

Firstly hold the mascara wand horizontally and use the flat side of the wand to push up the lashes from the lash root.

Now twist the wand to the brush side and comb through the lashes form the root to the tip, wiggle the bristles from side to side to help separate, define and lift.

Now use the wand vertically to precision paint lashes at the inner and outer corners.

Mascara lesson over!

Now lets get to the technical bit because there definitely is one....an innovative injection moulded mascara paddle brush complete with load, comb and lift technology will lift lashes like air, vertically painting each individual lash (yes, even those tiny awkward ones!). The diamond shaped bristles follow the lash architecture for a magnifying and amplifying effect.  A push-up lash lifting polymer (derived from the Larch tree) helps create a push up vertical lift and hold of the lashes.  Natural waxes like carnauba add body and texture to the formula for weightless volume and a false-lash finish.  Plus it contains KERESTORE 2.0 (keratin) which conditions lashes to create a thicker look and feel.

This mascara is seriously smart!...maybe a bit too smart even for me.

Here is my verdict.  Although I love it and the effect it achieves I have to think about what I am doing a bit too much when applying it.  Believe me when I say you could easily get in a mess with this mascara, this takes expert skill and time to apply you simply cannot pop this one on in a hurry.  A bit too much of a "faff" for many but worth it if you want the best lashes you have ever seen perhaps.  Certainly not for everyone but for the lash obsessed looking for the holy grail mascara this might just be it.  I however will be sticking with my Legendary Lashes volume 2 mascara which I am more than happy with and requires less thinking on my part!

Definitely worth a try but it will be like marmite you will love or hate it!
