Sometimes you just come across some gorgeous makeup packaging or pretty makeup products that make you go wow. Today's post is packed full with some of my favourite wow makeup items.
Originally totally not a fan of Benefit They're Real Mascara, I'm happy to say that it's finally growing on me! I'm definitely with the majority of users out there who say that it just needs to dry up a bit so the formula isn't as wet. I've now got quite the collection of these mascaras and last week the limited edition Benefit They're Real Mascara with Swarovski* crystals popped its way into my PO Box. I couldn't stop looking at it. The packaging is matte with the gorgeous crystals on the lid and I can't stop looking at it. What a fantastic collaboration.
Next up is the stunning YSL Couture Variation Eyeshadow Palette* which I've done a full in depth review + swatches that you can find here. This palette is so aesthetically pleasing on both the outside and inside. The shadows themselves are also incredibly pigmented and gorgeous. Definitely a high end product that I would suggest adding to your collection!
Of course I've included the Too Faced Perfect Flush Blush in Something About Berry. I think that this was the first 'really pretty' item in my collection. The packaging is stunningly girly and playful. All three blush colours are gorgeous on their own and mixed together also. If you are a fan of pigmented blushes, this ones for you - plus it's just so cute!
This product has received lots of buzz lately in the makeup world for all of the right reasons. I totally agree with all the praise. Laura Mercier's Face Illuminator in Indiscretion* is so incredibly beautiful. Honestly, how much detail has gone into the appearance of this illuminator in the pan!? So many brands invest a heck load of money in external packaging and forget the actual product itself - definitely not the case here! This is one of my absolute favourites for highlighting. I'm curious to see what happens to its lovely in pan appearance once I keep using it.
Last but not least of course are the lipsticks that most of us run to buy when we start our makeup collections. YSL Rouge Volupte's are by far the nicest lipstick formula I've ever used. They glide on the lips literally effortlessly. If anyone says a lipstick applies smoothly, I always think, well is it rouge volupte smooth!? The packaging is glamourous to the tee. I mean what isn't beautiful about gold!?
What are the prettiest products that you own?
