This month has been, for some odd reason a month full of make-up. I guess it might have a little something to do with spring being around the corner and it's time to switch to lighter colours and summery hues.
So with that goal/thought in mind, I've been hitting the make-up counters.
The things I've picked up:
From MAC- The paint-pot in Painterly- I love this cream eye-shadow/shadow base. It goes on super smoothly and evens out my slightly pigmented eyelids. I add some shadows on top and it goes on super easy and it actually makes the other shadows pop a whole lot more.
Powder blush in Stay Pretty- a light pink flush of a colour is great for summer and spring. It leaves a touch of pink to your cheeks and I've really been enjoying it.
Lipstick in Capricious- a great day wear lipstick, it's a nice mauve-y brown and looks great on and Sally loves it very, very much.
Eye pencil in Feline- a soft, smooth and intensely dark black pencil, which we've been using as a kohl mainly. I love, love, love it!
From Lakme- the Iconic mascara. After getting the Iconic kajal and enjoying it, we thought we could try the mascara too. I like it so far. I've only used it a couple of time. I am always on the lookout for a good mascara. So if you love one, do recommend it.
From Maybelline- a solo nail polish, a bright red. I am all about getting reds in different versions. So this one is for the collection.
From Kiehls- a small sample size of the Creme de Corps, I got this free for returning/recycling two of my Kiehls shampoos. I love brands that reward you for recycling empties.
From Colorbar- A got a bunch of stuff from here. I love the stuff from this brand. The stuff is very affordable and the quality is really great too. So on to the stuff I got.
A blush in Coralicious (OK I am not a 100% on the name) but it's a nice, bright coral blush which just screams spring to me. I love it.
Neon nailpaints in Bloody Mary and Pink Lady. Bright and intensely fun.
Take Me As I Am lipsticks in Flirtatious Pink- this pencil form lipstick is such fun. Soft and the colour pay-off is amazing.
Eye pencils in Oriental Blue and Turquoise (again sorry the exact name escapes me)- both these go on like a dream. Smooth and soft and doesn't pull the the skin one bit. The iGlide pencils from Colorbar are seriously amazing! I can't recommend them enough!
Uff, enough out of me. Tell me what make-up you've been loving lately?

I have the eyeconic mascara too and I like it (though I don't use mascara much). Have you used the Maybelline Colossal kajal?? Is the eyeconic one better??
must check out MAC store for some new products.....love the MAC mascara..i know you said it dint work for you..but somehow both zoom and studio fix from their mascara range work fab on me....
studio fix is grt for everyday office wear!!
BeingFab- the iconic kajal is definetly better, you should try it. it's softer and smoother and doesn't smudge at all. The Colossal one was good the first few times I tried it but the third stick I bought was really dry and not smooth to apply.
Shooting Star- I might give the MAC mascara another go, maybe the ones
I had were a fluke. What I really want to try is the Lancome mascara- pricey as they are I've heard they do good things for your lashes.
