Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadow (bronze)

One of my bug bears is that I have very oily eyelids as you may know and I have yet to find a eye shadow that I can wear without a primer to ensure it all stays in place for the full day. I have tried pretty much everything but open to advice from you if you think you know a product that would meet my needs. 

So, I tried this beautiful cream shadow for the day to see whether it would crease on me  yes, I braved it and did not put on any primer. I did my full face at 8.45am and it looked beautiful, but unfortunately creasing started to happen at 11.00am and by 15.00pm no product was left on the lid which was rather disappointing. However, the next day I tried this product with a primer and it lasted all day with no creasing or transfer so lesson learnt - I need to continue to wear primer that is it. 

These shadows from Max Factor are one of my favourites the colour pay off is amazing and you can use it for a discreet look during the day or layer on for a more dramatic look for the evening. In addition, I use this as a base for other shadows too.. There are six colours available and available here.

Stila All You Need Is Love Cheek Palette

This is my favourite blush of all time- yes, I know bold statement, but it is a classic. Stila do some of the best blushes in the business. 

What I love is you can either choose one shade or mix the four together. The colour may look scary, but don't be afraid as the colour can be as subtle or dramatic as you want it to be. The colour is flattering and gives you a "flushed" look but not hot and bothered so don't panic. 

My advice is check out www.stila.com website as if you don't like the look of this colour there will be a colour that you will fall in love with!
