Thursday’s Cosmetics
Just a casual day in the office…
Smashbox Halo – their version of mineral/powder foundation. I love the packaging which contains a sort of grater so powder doesn’t explode everywhere when you open it.
Estee Lauder Disappear Concealer for my dark circles… an absolute must as it gives great coverage. My husband actually introduced me to it and how to apply it – pat it on lightly with fingers for best results.
Smashbox Bronzer… the label has worn away and there’s not a lot left, but I think it’s Fusion in ‘Sunset’ which is really nice for bronzing pale skin.
Chanel Eyeshadow – the pink and the brown from the Quadra Eyeshadow ‘Influences’.
Avon’s SuperShock Mascara in Plum… I wouldn’t say it’s a shock, but it’s definitely super. It applies very nicely and doesn’t clog.
Nars Lipstick in ‘Damage’ – perfect everyday shade 
Lancome Hypnose Custom-Wear Volume Mascara
Lancome mascaras have always been popular with us, but it is only recently that we’ve been buying them again.
Hypnose is a volumising mascara, focussing on thickening the lashes without clumping – it does this very well indeed. We had some clumping, but not often and usually easy to remove with another sweep of the brush.
Lasts all day without flaking or smudging and you can build up lashes in the evening without removing your mascara from the morning. Being able to layer it up is great – one coat for day volumises extremely well, another coat or two for evening looks quite dramatic!
Available in Black, Brown and Blue.
Waterproof version available in Black, Brown, Blue and Green.
