Illamsqua Cream Pigment in Hollow

Cream Pigment in Hollow

   I am a great lover of Illamasqua products anyway as i always find that there products are always so pigmented, and the colours that are shown on the products always come out the colour that is shown! So whilst out i picked up an Illamasqua cream pigment in the colour Hollow, as it seemed to be a good 'all round' colour, and i am in love with it!! It acts as a great base for eyeshadow, as it is a really neutral colour, and more or less any colour can be applied on top of it, or it is nice just worn on its own to just add a hint of colour. Also because it is a cream i always finds that my eyeshadows apply a lot easier with a cream shadow underneath, as the pigment from the colours have something to stick to and therefore stay put for a lot longer. Although this product is fantastic for the eyes, another great benefit to this product is that it can also be applied on the rest of the face and body, and because the product is so pigmented a little defiantly goes a long way, and especially being pale, this cream pigment acts as a brilliant contour colour on pale skin, and i would definitely recommend this product, retailing at £17.50 may seem a bit pricey, but it is defiantly worth the money, as you don't need a lot in able to get great results, and as i said, a little goes a long way!

CHANEL Soleil Tan De Chanel (Bronzer)

Soleil Tan De  Moisturizing Bronzing Powder - # 63 Terre Ambre 11g - Product Image
   When the weather is meant to be shining, but living in England (not surprising) summer is never sunny. So whilst the I have been and come home from my holiday and my tan is slowly fading, what better way to try and keep up a bronzed look then with bronzer! I have to say that I am loving this bronzer by Chanel, as I find that where other bronzer can make me look orange, this one gives that polished bronzed look that many a woman is after! However, this product does come at a price, retailing at around £46 its not a cheap buy, but if you feel the need to treat yourself you defiantly wont regret buying this product! Another facter that i am loving about this product is the subtle shimmer in the bronzer, giving you that all together healthy glow. Also something else i really love about this product is that the brush applicator isn't actually that bad, which i was pleased with as i find that usually the applicators that come with products can not be very good. Another benefit to this product is that it is oil free, which is particularly good as I have oily skin, so this product doesn't feel heavy on my skin! Overall I really like this product and i would definitely recommend this product, however i do realize that this product is rather pricy, so as a birthday present or a treat to yourself would maybe be the way forward!
Tell me if you have used this product, if you have used any other Chanel products, give thoughts and opinions in the comments below!!
