Make Up Store - more fabulous products!

My new make up crush is the aptly named Make Up Store!  Having recently opened in London, I couldn't contain my excitement when I walked past (and then into) the wonderful treasure of a store!

My favourite parts of my face that I just love to 'make up' are my eyes and lips.  Today, Im going to talk about some of their eye products.

Micro Shadow

These products are said to give you the colour that you see, they are highly pigmented and give a long-lasting result.  Well they sure do!  After a long day at work the colours are pretty much as intense as they were at 8am!  There are so many shades to choose from too.  Pictured here is Pharao, a kind of yellow-gold shade which I have, it's beautiful and extremely wearable.

Eye Dust

As a comparison, if any of you are familiar with the Barry M Dazzle Dust, these pots are pretty similar.  However, they do last longer.  Like the eyeshadows (or infact all the products in Make Up Store's range!) there are tons of shades, I mean loads!  So in short, they are loose eyeshadows that can be used in many ways; alone to get a sparkly effect or with a wet brush or on top of a eyeshadow, for a more intense colour.  These are fab!

High Tech Lighter

This is a multi-functional product.  It can be used as a highlighter, lipstick, eyeshadow or blush.  It can also be used as a primer for eyeshadow.  It comes in many shades (Comet is pictured above) and it has a lovely, creamy consistency.  These are brilliant products for making a look a bit more funky!

As far as price goes, Make Up Store are pretty much the same as other premium brands out there; the MAC's of the world which I think is great, and most importantly, they do what they say!  If you haven't already, do give this brand a try!

Ok, this is THE best moisturiser I have EVER used, EVER!!

I say this time and time again.  I am ALWAYS on the search for new products, I love to find and try new things, and I get quite excited when I can see the results (good ones that is!)

So here it is, the best moisturiser I have ever used.  It ticks all the boxes, yes, all of them.  What is it's name?  Well, it has two!

Bamboo Leaf Ultra Soothing Anti-Redness Cream.

Bamboo Leaf Anti-Redness Intensive Night Cream.

These two WONDERPRODUCTS are from the Grassroots Research Labs line, a company owned by Estee Lauder.  As you would expect, the night cream is the richer of the two, yet both give my skin perfect moisturisation.  The bamboo creams of this line are said to 'visibly relieve stressed skin and instantly help calm irritation, redness, dryness and discomfort, while rebuilding the skin's natural defense mechanism.'  For my skin, this is a dream come true.  I do suffer with redness, dryness and irritability and after using for the last 6 weeks, I can say this has worked more than anything Ive ever used; I could actually even see/feel the results after using for a couple of days!  These creams are also free of Parabens which ticks the extra box!

Now like they say, you can't always have everything, and this my friends is no exception.  At the moment, it is only possible to purchase this from within the US, you cannot even get it over here online.  BUT, there's often a way.  Take a trip over there, rack your brains on anyone you know who lives there who could purchase it for you and send it over!  I really do hope that they introduce it over here in the UK, everyone would love it and it would certainly be on my gift list, both to and from people!
