MAC Mulch Review and how to!

One of my Makeup bag favorites is MAC Mulch it is a true unsung hero! I just love this eye-shadow so much, I use this at least twice per week! Perfect for a smokey brown day or night time look.

So what I used to achieve this look:

Mac paint pot in painterly
Barry M Jumbo pencil in No. 2
Mac Mulch

Foundation B. Flawless in 040 Honey
Blusher Bare Minerals Golden Gate
Bare Minerals Wide Awake
Highlight Mac Vanilla Pigment
Brows Benefit Brow Kit - Dark Brown

So first i have applied Mac Paint pot in Painterly all over my lid up to my crease. I applied with my Bare Minerals i.d brush and patted in lightly with my finger. Next i take my Barry M eye liner in no.2 it has the same under sheen as the mulch and is quite bronzed, its a fabulous base for our eyeshadow and intensify s the color of the Mulch on top of it. Im going to draw this all over my lid up to my crease and blend into the crease and up with my MAC 217

Complete this on both eyes making sure there are no harsh lines and we have a nice soft look in the crease and above.

I have also applied the eyeliner to my under eye and blended that out with the same Mac 217 blending brush creating a sift smokey line.

Both eyes should look like this :)

Next i am applying my Mac Mulch with a real techniques eye shadow brush. Pressing the color in over my eye pencil all over my lid up to my crease.

Then blend into the crease and slightly up with a fresh Mac 217 or another brush. I am doing this so soften the line at my crease and give a smooth transition. Do this to both eyes and apply to the under eye and blend out.

I also used a MAC 224 brush to really soften out my transition at crease and around the lower lash line. 

I apply Miss Sporty eyeliner in Grizzly to my water line and rub it into my lash line. 

I also applied some Bare Minerals Wide Awake my my Brow Bone 

I then lined my eyes with Maybelline gel liner in black, added Mascara and applied Eyelure Falsies (eyelashes)

I also applied Mascara to my lower lashes :)

Put on some blush i used Bare Minerals Golden Gate, I then added Mac Vanilla Pigment to the tops of my cheeks, Chin, Brow Bone, Nose and a little on my chin. 

So this is the finished look i hope you like it :)

B Flawless Complete Coverage Foundation Review in 040 Honey

Okay, so recently whilst browsing the aisles at my local Superdrug I spotted the new B. range. Available in 5 types so far B. Flawless,  B. Ageless, B. Naked, B. Radiant and B. Illuminating.

I went for the B. Flawless in 040 Honey. There only seemed to be a few colour in the range SD had and i believe there was 1 shade darker above the honey. I toyed with myself for ages over which colour to get but decided on the Honey as it looked better on the back of my hand.

I noticed that Cosmopolitan had named it the best high street foundation and Superdrug also had a sale on to promote the product so i grabbed a bargain at £4.99. They are currently on the SD website for £9.99.

So the packaging. Really nice bottle doesn't feel cheap, nice and heavy. Pump action and a nice amount of product comes out. It took me three pumps for my face i like quite a good coverage.

The product itself goes on really nicely, just make sure to moisturize and prime your face beforehand. I have quite a dry forehead and found that it went a bit patchy up there first time i tried this. I then applied a night cream before I gave it another go and it lasted much longer and didn't patch up so just make sure to moisturize well if you have any dry skin. The color Honey once I got out of the bright lights of the store is a few shades lighter than what I would normally go, I kinda wish i'd of gotten the darker one in SD, I like to be quite bronzed looking! I use a darker shade of Maybelline FIT color 355 to contour and it blends perfectly over the top of the foundation.

So all in all this was a great for £4.99 but next time I think id like to try the B. Naked as its coming into the summer and my need for a fuller coverage isn't as much. I liked the finish when my face had been well moisturized before i put the product on. There isn't much of a color choice in store or online, so don't hold out for amazing choice.

My Score 7/10
