Going in and out of the department stores in London I kept seeing the MAC and Urban Decay counters calling to me so I decided to splurge on two items I have wanted for a while now, a MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study and the Naked Palette and I have no regrets!
MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
The paint pot is so smooth and can be used as a base for eye shadow, an eye shadow on its own, a highlighter or put it anywhere you need a bit of shimmer. I was torn between this and Morning Frost from the Glitter and Ice collection but figured that bare study is a bit more versatile.
Urban Decay Naked Palette
I wasn't sure whether to get the Naked Palette as I typically don't wear much eye shadow day to day but that has now changed! The eye shadows are so velvety and creamy and perfect for me as you can create such a pretty neutral eye so isn't such a shock for the system for someone who doesn't really wear eye shadow. The browns also really make my blue eyes pop which I love.
No 7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser
I have been wanting Liz Earle's cleanse and polish for ages and was going to buy it but then I got a £5 No 7 voucher and decided to try their version in the mean time. I have been using it for about a week now and it's okay. I'm not acne prone but do get my fair share of spots and this has cleared up most of them and the ones that I do get are not as big but my face has been feeling a bit oilier than usual.
The cloth that it comes with is pretty poor and gets cold very quickly so you have to re-damp(?) it 2 or 3 times so I am going to buy some more from mothercare or something.
Overall this is no HG product but does the job okay, and it is nice to do, it feels like a mini facial. I'm going to use it up then probably get the Liz Earle one. I would say try it if you get a £5 voucher but I wouldn't buy it for £10. I do like the packaging though, it feels very expensive ^_^
