Em Cosmetics by Michelle Phan - Chiaroscuro - Review

Wednesday 26 February 2014

Hi everyone! 
I've basically been through hell and back in the past 3 weeks! Here in Britain we've had the worst weather storms on record in a long time! And since I live in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a forestry, the wind blew the trees over our power lines and since then we've had no electricity nor internet! NOTHING! Until now of course! 
It made me realise how much we depend on electricity haha! Anywaaay...

Some of you may know Michelle Phan if not she's a very successful youtuber who resonantly came out with her very own cosmetic line! ''Em Cosmetics'' And she just got international shipping so I went straight to order what i've been eyeing for a long time! 



This is the ''Chiaroscuro'' It's a highlight and contour stick! 





I got it in the shade ''Fair'' and it's perfect for my skin tone! I'm like an NC10 colour and its not brow or orange on me! 

Pros: - Super blendable! 
- Highlighter is beautiful! It's beautiful on fair skin! 
- Contour shade is the perfect shade! Not to orange and not to brown
- The packaging is a metal and easy to use
- Can easily fit in a makeup bag

Cons - The product can melt if it's a warm place
- It's $24.00 (£14 something) and I don't think it's worth that money. 
- The shipping is horrible. 

Overall I think it's an amazing product but would I buy it again? I don't know...

The only big issue I got with this is the shipping progress. When you want to order something from the website it will take you to ''MyUS'' website and you have to create an account for it. Then when you go to basket on the em cosmetics website you have to enter an american address which ''MyUS'' provides you with when you sign up. I was a bit confused with this as I thought it could be a con website but lucky enough it wasn't. After you pay your order will be shipped to the American address and from there will be flown by ''FedEx'' to your house. It was a bit of a hassle and got me very confused on why I had to do that by hey! I got my product in the end!

First MAC Pallet! - New Shades - Naked Lunch & Sketch

Wednesday 5 February 2014

Hi everyone! 
Sorry I haven't posted in a week, i've been super busy with college work! 
Anyway last sunday I bought some new MAC eyeshadows to complete my MAC pallet! 



I bought ''Naked Lunch'' & ''Sketch'' 


Naked Lunch - Frost Finish 


Sketch - Matte Finish


I love these eyeshadows. ''Naked Lunch'' is such a nice, frosty finish than gives you the most beautiful highlighter in the corner of your eye and on the brow bone. 
''Sketch'' goes nicely with my green eyes! Makes the pop! Its a nice matte for me to blend in the outer corner of my eyes. 

What other colours should I get? Comment down below! Would love to see your suggestions.
