1. Nars Cream Eyeshadow in Cosmic Girl

- a lovely shimmery highlight on the cheekbone.

2. Bare Minerals Eyeshadow in Nude Beach

- by far my favourite Bare Minerals shadow; delightfully shimmery and sparkly yet somewhat neutral.

3. Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in Emerveillé

- the most glorious texture for a creamy mousse-y eyeshadow that is perfect for all day every day.

4. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

- it gives the most natural finish like your skin but better when mixed with a pinch of moisturizer.

5. Maybelline Mineral Pure Conealer

- just your average concealer that isn't outrageously heavy and cakey.

6. Stila Convertible Colour in Poppy

- the perfect colour that gives your face a healthy flush or a "I've just been outside in the cold" tinge.

7. Maybelline Volum'Express the HyperCurl

- my favourite mascara ever, probably my seventh or eighth tube; I have unopened ones lying around in case, God forbid, Maybelline decides to discontinue it.

emerveillé

Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in Emerveillé is the most gloriously perfect everyday shimmery but not too sparkly everyday nude-y pink colour for your eyes (in my opinion). It has a bizarrely interesting texture: kind of spongy and gel-like, yet smooth and creamy and dry and light. As a sucker for MAC Paint Pots, I've been using this every day since I got it a couple of days ago, am itching to buy another colour, and will use it until the pot is nothing but glass again.
