So I wanted to do my first 'Holy Grail Makeup Products' post. I love seeing these posts/YouTube videos from other people so I thought I'd start posting this. I actually wouldn't consider this like the best high end makeup, this is my favorite makeup.I enjoy having a good nose in other people's makeup collection - particularly the ensemble of products inside the darkest depths of their everyday bags. I'm gonna be talking about makeup products that are worth the splurge, because sometimes, it's nice to know what makeup is worth it out there.
NAKED 3 Palette
I have had this eyeshadow palette for about 6 months now, so I had a lot more time to play around with it, it took me a little while to figure out how I feel about it, because it is so different in my opinion anyway from the Original Naked Palette and the Naked 2 Palette.
So this palette retails for 2k +, but i bought mine at Pure Beauty which is located at Serendra, so I bought it there for 3k +. And you get 12 full size eyeshadows and they’re all brand new colors which I think is really cool, and also in addition to that you get a double sided brush. It also comes with samples which is the urban decay primer potion as well. The case is kind of a rose gold color and it is like a metal type of case similar to the Naked 2 palette.
I have to say I do like the packaging because i think it represents the colors in the palette as well. I do feel like this collection of eyeshadows is just so feminine and girly and that’s kind of the whole idea of its collection of rose, hued and neutrals. The first thing that caught my eye about it is just how beautiful the colors are. The shadows have that really smooth, soft texture that I think it’s typical of a lot of the urban decay eyeshadows, this is what I like about their eyeshadows, because they’re very easy to work with, to blend, the color pay-off, they’re nice because they’re so soft from the brush to your eyes.
Powder Blush / MAC Ellie Goulding (I'll Hold My Breathe)
I just got this new MAC product which is the Ellie Goulding collaboration collection which recently launched in the Philippines for a week or so. I don't think it is something that everybody necessarily wants, as Ellie Goulding is obviously very very pale, and the collection was made obviously based around her skin tone. It's a very neud, warm, brown, sort of collection.
This is the powder blush duo in "I'll Hold My Breathe". Inside of it, you get a big mirror, and you get a contour color, or bronzer, and a blush. The blush is so beautiful, it's gives you a really nice, soft, very pinky sheen to the cheeks. And on the contour, it does have a triangle shaped with Ellie Goulding's initials which is "E.D.", The contour color is actually really light, and it does actually have a shimmer to it, it's quite fair.
Ben Nye Luxury Loose Powder
I also got this product from Pure Beauty which costs Php 799. The Ben Nye Loose powder, they come in different sizes, this is the 3.0z which is medium sized. The powder is nearly identical to high end brands, it's very fine and mild, it is absolutely beautiful. The only cons of this is it comes with a sifter, which means it has little holes, and you have to sift it out, and apply, that's the only negative. Other than that, if you're looking for a high end brand it has a really nice packaging. 3.oz is a huge amount, it sets the face absolutely beautiful. It comes with a whole range of colors which is the Banana, Buff, Cameo, and Beige Suede which means most of you with white skin, and people with really deep skin can really brighten up the face, and it you're not fond of the matte look, you can always spray your face with a setting spray or MAC fix plus. Otherwise, this is an absolutely 100% top ready product.
So, we’ve come to the end of this blog! I hope you enjoyed reading about my favorite high end makeup products. Let me know what products you think is worth the hype by commenting below.
