L.F'S 2010 FAVOURITE PRODUCTS

I don't think I've mentioned this on my blog before, but Stephane Marais Beauty Flash finally arrived at my college. So naturally I went crazy with scanning all of my favourite looks. I will get round to recreating some of them soon.

MY FAVOURITES:

M.A.C PRO LONGWEAR SPF10 FOUNDATION

Perfect. I *really* can't fault this foundation.

SUGARPILL COSMETICS PRESSED EYE-SHADOWS

I own 6 of these eye shadows (white, yellow, orange, pink, red and purple- lazy with names sorry!!) and they are so good. CRAZY pigmentation, blend well, good amount (4.g) and MATTE!!! The only one I have a hard time with is Poison Plum (purple) but I'm working on it.

COLLECTION 2000 GLAM CRYSTALS 

Best £2.99 you will ever spend. Drugstore can be good. 

E.L.F STUDIO COMPLEXION PERFECTION 

I know I know. How hard can it be to find a good face powder? Well for me....hard! This is the only powder I will use on any clients/shoot. Period. Not chalky, finely milled and sets make-up beautifully. NOTE this doesn't add any coverage so be aware of this. For me I just want a powder to set the face without any more coverage.

E.L.F STUDIO BLUSH BRUSH

I have 4 of these now, which in L.F world means I really like it!! Small and tapered it does everything with its super soft bristles.

CLINIQUE SUPERBALM MOISTURISING GLOSS

I've used this before and fast track 2 years and an Elle magazine promotion. I'm hook, line, and sinker for this as lip-balm-does-jack-all-for-my-chapped-lips-but-this-really-really-does-work-and-makes-them-baby-soft-no-joking. Now breath.

Z-PALETTE

I bought 6 of the large universal palette and they've saved up so much space in my cluttered vanity space-ma bob. A bit of an investment but very travel friendly (especially for make-up gigs!!!).

KRYOLAN ANTI-SHINE POWDER

This actually works. No gimmicks. The real deal.

RED CHERRY LASHES

I love Ardell lashes but these are made by the same people, exactly the same styles and half, HALF the price.

FYRINNAE PIXIE EPOXY

Loose shadows/glitters NEED this. In fact anything but matte shadows. HG worthy. Staple product for kit!

Hey guys, so there's my definitive list of my favourite products of 2010. If its up there, it means I really do love and use these products. I know not all the products I've featured on my blog a whole lot but trust me I've tested them all out thoroughly and I approve. Lots. 

2010 has been amazing for L.F MAKE-UP so thank-you thank-you for supporting me. I will try to make this year even better and continue with things I've started off (eras series).

P.S I am not sponsored by love-makeup, I just buy a lot from them as they have everything! Never had any problems personally so safe hands.

JOB

Shoot on Wednesday at Studio 19- me concentrating! Only finished the eyes by that time.

M.U- L.F
Nails- M.C
Model- H.A
Photographer- Natascha

Hey guys!! Update from me. The photo above is just a sneak preview of the shoot I was involved in. The photographer- Natascha aka idollphamine will be sending me some pro' portfolio-worthy images soon :)

So on Wednesday it was my first ever 'major' job with a pro' photographer in a real studio. I did a 'intense' smokey eye- which if I break it down was just a black exaggerated 'cat' eye and the lower lid a deep matte purple with smudged black and nude lips on H.A. I need to practice on timing as an hour flew by and I was still not finished even with M.C's help!

Also my lack of updates is because my computer died on me a week ago (don't think there's a chance for recovery) so I've got a 'new' one but its lacking programmes I need to edit photo's etc.

When all things are sorted out I will be carrying on with my eras series and show you my new kit stuff such as Sugarpill eye shadows and Z-palette's (so convenient)!!

Lastly next week on Tuesday I should be having a M.A.C lesson which I'm really excited about (my mum has yet to find out I'm spending more money on make-up). Its £50 for an hour and a half and is fully redeemable against products- think I'm going to get more brushes. The lessons are designed to teach methods more thoroughly and I'm always happy to learn new techniques and pester the MUA on how they got started :P

Talk soon guys! And I'll leave it on a sad note.... I start art college in 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS!!! Not fair.
