FOTD... Featuring YSL, RMK, Rouge Bunny Rouge and Illamasqua...

I finally decided it was time to have a play with the YSL palette I recently hauled - which you can see in my vid here - Here is the look I came up with...

Ok, so products used;

Face;
RMK Creamy foundation, applied and blended with Illamasqua foundation brush.
Illamasqua loose powder LP115, applied with Illamasqua powder brush
Illamasqua Bronzing duo applied with MAC109 brush
Illamasqua powder blush in Lover, applied with MAC109 brush.

I adore the RMK foundation - I find the whole concept of holy grail products debatable, as there are always new things to try etc, but its safe to say, this is a staple for me.
I'm also definitely finding that Illamasaqua's powder blush in Lover is definitely getting more than its fair share of use - so versatile. It can be dusted on lightly as done here for a natural look, or built up for drama, and it seems to go well with a lot of different looks too.


Eyes;
MAC paintpot in painterly applied with ring fingers as base.
YSL 5 Colour harmony eye palette number 7 applied with various brushes...
NARS Himalayas single shadow as highlighter.
Clarins brow palette for brows
The Body Shop metallic eye definer pencil in Bronze applied to waterline.
Urban decay 24/7 eye definer in black to tightline.
L'Oreal Telescopic mascara in Carbon black

I'm pretty impressed with the palette too - the colours are well put together and the liner shadow is easy to use. They stayed the distance too, lasting through a full days shopping and coffee meet up with my darling mummy.

I broke out the L'Oreal telescopic mascara as a bit of a change from Rimmel Sexy Curves - first impressions are good - its a ery lengthening rather than volumising mascara, and very impressed with the lack of clumping.

The Body Shop eye liner is a lovely shade and definitely looks metallic - wore reasonably well, about 3-4 hours before a touch up was required.

The Clarins brow palette is very good, and I think worthy of its own review!

Lips;
Rouge Bunny Rouge sheer lipstick in Fluttering Sighs.

I LOVE this lipstick - the whole RBR range is expensive yet, but do you know what? I really think it's worth every penny. I'm really pleased that Zuneta are increasing the numbers of shades they are carrying from this range.

Hope you liked my FOTD, and mini-reviews along the way!

You look really lovely! I am really trying to resist Rouge Bunny Rouge as I feel it would become a very expensive addiction and once I get one thing I will want more! x

Thanks everyone - My eyes are not this blue in real life - a combination of the fact I wear contacts and the fact that the shades I used are a bit bronzy (making the colour stand out) makes them look so blue! I promise they are not so blue really lol.

@JoBetterDays - You WILL get addicted to RBR if you buy any lol!

@Nikki - ah, well if it's your birthday!

@Nicola - thought you might appreciate that lol

@Tali - thanks hun, and thanks for showing me the palett in the first place! Did you play yet? x
