Cleo McTeague

Hey everyone, so its been a while since I've talked about makeup so I thought I would make another Current Most Used post. Im gonna tell you about a couple of beauty products I've been enjoying recently, along with little reviews. So lets get into it. 

First up is the lipstick on the very bottom which is by Essence. The colour is number 11 Nude love. Its a pinky nude, its not the most opaque or lost lasting of formulas but its a nice colour and I like it. Essence is a super inexpensive drugstore brand, but they have a lot of great products.

The next product is this eyebrow pencil by The Face Shop. It was super inexpensive and I probably would've paid more for it. Its double ended (as you can see), one end has spooly and the other has the brow product. The pencil part is thin and angled and the consistency is waxy yet creamy at the same time. If you draw out of the lines you can just wipe it away but it also lasts all day. How? I don't know.

This is a lip stick and liner buy Kardashian Beauty. I got this as a gift from my amazing friend Yung Apparel when she visited the states and I've been loving it since. This is my new favourite lip colour and formula, the lipstick especially. Its a super creamy consistency and dries to a matte finish. The colour is a brown pink nude almost mauve (very specific). It lasts well, and is easy to reapply because its so creamy. 

I bought this Mac powder recently because I ran out of my last one. Its the Blot Powder and its in the shade light. It is basically just a very matte powder that I got to keep my shine under control and it does, better than any normal powder. I need to test it out more so that I can compare it to the Too Faced Primed and Poreless powder, so maybe you guys will get an update on that. 

This is the famous Make Up Forever HD Foundation and it might just live up to its expectations. The colour is 115 and let me say if you are super fair like me then it may be difficult to colour match. Its not that they don't go light, they do. But all there light shades have pink undertones, and not just a little bit. The picture doesn't show it but even this shade is pink, which doesn't suite me so I end up dealing with it or mixing another foundation with it. Anyways, the reason I like this foundation is because it is so natural looking. The finish isn't matte or dewy it just looks like skin. Now it is no where near full coverage as it claims, but it is build able. 

I bought this Sonia Kashuk brush from Target a couple months ago and I've just fallen more and more for it ever since. I can use it for anything from powder to blush to highlighter or whatever I feel like. Its real hair which I usually don't like but it hasn't gotten rough yet and the bristle fall out could be worse. It blends out product really well, and  has maintained its shape. Im sure there is more Sonia Kashuk to be added to my collection.

This is the It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Palette which I picked up a little while in Washington. All the colours are pigmented except for sheer joy, but I think thats intended. All the colours are nice but my favourites are Soulful, Warmth, Sunrise and Mocha (which is also good for contouring). They aren't too powdery and they are really blendable. All the colours are claimed to be matte but some of them do have little tiny glitters. Overall its a great palette with a good variety of shades. 

Vintage Levi Cut-Offs

Second up are these denim shorts, a summer staple. I prefer a light blue wash just because I like the look better. I love how they are high waisted which means I can wear them with crop tops or normal tops or whatever I like. They aren't stretchy at all, but thats very common with vintage jeans.

Zara Basic Tee

Next up is this plain white tee. Thats basically it. Its super soft and thin, which can be a problem sometimes. I can tie or knot it and it looks good, or I can just leave it too. But overall its just I comfy white t-shirt that I can throw on with anything, another basic.
