How fun is a yellow eyeliner? Usually, liquid liners in pastel or bright colours are not that good, but I had such a good experience with the Kylie Cosmetics baby blue liner that I got cocky and went searching for other bright shades. Moira has quite the colour range for liquid liners, and yellow just made sense.
I’ve only just recently realised this is quite a controversial primer. The price point is what drives that, because it’s so expensive that it basically divides people into two groups: the ones that will never be happy with it because there’s only so much a primer can do and it will never be worth the price, and the ones that convince themselves that this does indeed do a world of difference because, for the cost, it must, right?
Well, I’m in neither group and therefore in the perfect position to give an unbiased opinion.
I’m never tired of baked blushes. I blame the Mineralize Skinfinish frenzy the world was going through when I first got interested in makeup and MAC was the sh*t. I’ll forever be attracted to the domed, shimmery, multicoloured beauty powders. This time I’m reviewing a blush from a Greek makeup brand, Erre Due (not affiliated); they have a website and ship worldwide, so no need to wait for a trip to Greece to get your hands on their stuff.
Following my recent Moira infatuation, I felt I needed to test and review their eyeshadow formulas. They have quite a few palettes that look stunning (have you seen the pastels?), but for my first try I decided to go with a smaller option with a safer (but not boring) colour story. So, the Live In The Moment palette it was.
If you are a makeup girl like me, you know that no matter how many times dermatologists/skincare experts/instructions on the back of sunscreen packaging tell you to reapply your sunscreen, that ain’t gonna happen. How am I going to put an SPF cream on top of a powdered and mascara-ed face? I won’t. So you can see how an SPF setting spray is filling out an obvious market gap.
I meant to be ahead of the trend and bought this as soon as it came out, to be one of the firsts to review it. Then life happened. You make plans and god laughs, right? Well, better late than never.
Can you please commend me on my efforts to not keep bringing you the same pinky-peach blush shade? We have yellow today. Yellow, people! The lengths I will go to not be boring (call me ugly, call me weird, call me awkward – but please, never boring).
Out of every collaboration that came out for the Barbie movie, this is my favourite thing. NYX’s collection, overall, was very good, but this palette in particular, this little item, is the best thing of all. The colour story screams Barbie, the packaging looks like a toy, and the mini gloss keycharm brings me back to the nineties faster than a dial-up internet connection.
Being as I am, forever looking for lilac blushes, I was dumbfounded by finding out that Moira, this pretty inexpensive brand, had one within its range. I just waited patiently until the blush duo in Berry Flirty was on sale and I snatch it up as soon as it was.
I’ve been getting more and more into Moira. The multichrome eyeliners brought some attention to this brand, but what actually caught my eye in the first place were their ombre blushes (of course it was a blush). How could I resist that pan design?
