Product Review - MAC Strobe Cream

Previously mentioned in a monthly favourites, this product is definitely well loved by me. With iridescent particles and antioxidants, this cream enhances the effects of light on the skin whilst also brightening and clarifying.

Not only does this cream give you a gorgeous luminous glow, it also moisturises the skin which means it's a great primer for using underneath makeup (which is what I use it for). 

I purchased this product in the small bottle because I didn't want to waste my money if I didn't like it, but I'll definitely be going back to repurchase the bigger sized bottle when I run out! 

If you're suffering from dry or dull looking skin or even if you just like a dewy, healthy looking glow, I'd highly recommend you try this product out. 

Rrp: $55 for a 50ml bottle (mine was approx $15 for the smaller version which is only sold in particular MAC stores) 

Do you prefer a matte or dewy finish?

Kim Kardashian Inspired Makeup Look

Whenever I feel stressed or panicked I always find myself sitting in front of my mirror, makeup sprawled out all around me, practicing different looks. I simply find a picture on google that I think looks interesting or challenging and attempt (attempt being the key word here) to imitate the look as best I can.

I found an image on google that uses mainly the technique of smudging eyeliner (I used gel eyeliner) in the crease and also in the outer corner of the eye, and to achieve the sharp and clear line on the outer corner of my eyes I did the classic sticky tape trick. I didn't actually take step by step pictures because my expectations of it being successful weren't high, however I wish I did after seeing the outcome!

I'm really happy with how this turned out. My sister said, 'it looks a lot like Kim Kardashian!' and I think she's quite right.

What's on my face: 

- Loreal True Match foundation in "N2 Vanilla" 

- Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in "Ivory"

- MAC transparent powder 

- Benefit hoola bronzer 

- MAC powder blush in "Pinch Me"

- MAC eyeshadow in "Mystery" to fill in my eyebrows 

- MAC clear brow gel 

- MAC prep+prime eye base in "light" 

- Using my Nude 'tude palette by theBalm I used: Sassy, Snobby, Sleek and Serious 

- Maybelline gel eyeliner in "Blackest Black" 

- theBalm liquid black eyeliner 

- Bourjois waterproof black clubbing eyeliner pencil 

- Maybelline the falsies mascara in "Black"

- MAC matte lipstick in "Please Me" 

What do you guys think of this look? I reckon it'd be totally wearable for a night out or even a formal event. I might also do a tutorial on YouTube if any of you are interested? Let me know :)
