Love Warm Tones? Love this!

-






You have probably started to see this palette all over instagram now that NikkiTutorials has raved about the accompanying base.
The palette in question is the Plouise Palette! AKA a warm tone lover's dream!! *insert drool emoji*

This palette consists of 12 shades all together, 10 matte and 2 shimmers, and they are all just as equally pigmented as the one before. The shimmers are quite subtle and do not have the foiled effect that I was expecting, like the Morphe ones or the MakeupGeek ones. I quite like the subtle nature of them as its a perfect accompaniment to the bold and bright mattes.

The matte shades are STUNNING! They are all so pigmented and blend lovely. They do vary in texture, but that does not affect the pigment or blend; the darker and more red toned shades (queen, martini, contour) are quite hard and not as creamy as the lighter colours, like sunkissed, plouise, trippin and charm.

I also ordered the base (I got the shade Rumour, there are now a new selection of shades to choose from), which is a similar style to the Mac Select Cover Up. It is a thick creamy base with a lot of pigment. I love how much it makes the colours pop and how easy it is to do a cutcrease or any detail work with it. But, despite everyone saying that it is virtually creaseless, I do find that after application the base tends to crease on the inner portion of my eye. If I work quickly then it's okay, but just something to note.

Pros

  • Palette is insanely pigmented
  • Reasonable pricing (base is £10, palette is £40)
  • Variation of colours makes for unlimited eye looks
  • Big pan size  
  • Base is easy to use - little goes a long way
Cons

  • Little bit of kickback/fallout (standard for any palette)
  • Packaging feels a little rushed (on my palette some of the black border surrounding the mirror comes away, not a major issue but not perfect)
  • Base creases on my eyes

If you are a follower of mine (especially on instagram) you already know that I am a huge fan of L'oreal's new skincare range!! After it being recommended to me by a close friend I thought that I would try it out, and now I am hooked! I used to be a fan of the T-Zone products (I still love them they are definitely tried and tested) Photo Credit:  http://www.nytrendymoms.com/2016/07/loreal-paris-pure-clay-mask-review.html I will talk briefly of the masks as I have already discussed them  here , I am currently using the Glow and the Brightening mask. I do feel like my skin has a newer glow/brightness to it as well as clearness however it is subtle. But I have definitely noticed a change in skin texture and feel, my skin feels smoother and my pores are smaller but still there. I am also using the charcoal face wash, which I love as well and it smells like fresh heaven. Now to the holy grail for all those with combination to oily skin!!! Drum roll pleaseeeeeeeeee
