Max Factor Freebie with a quick EOTD

Hey girlies, sorry for my lack of posts, I am on my hols right now so having a little break from blogging everyday. Darren ♥ and I popped into our local town on Thursday mainly because we wanted to pick up a couple of films and I wanted to have a quick look around Boots and Superdrug. I saw nothing in Boots that I wanted, I was after a new Max Factor Mascara and they had sold out. They had a deal on ‘3 for 2’ across all make up brands. I went into Superdrug and Max Factor had a deal on buy certain MF products and get their Smoky Eye Effect eyeshadow worth £7.99 absolutely free.

Swatched on their own they remind me of All that Glitters and Twinks by MAC so I carried out a little EOTD using my new MF product and the MAC eyeshadows All that Glitters and Twinks. I really liked the results, I think this product from MF would be really good as a base for eyeshadows however on it’s own it’s a little here nor there. I applied them straight from the tube itself but found it needed blending, so i used a MAC 217. Then I applied All that Glitters ontop of the palest colour and Twinks ontop of the darkest colour, after I had done this I really liked the outcome.

I picked up the nudey looking shade, it was called Bronze Haze. I picked this colour mainly because the blue, green and purple shades didn’t really appeal to me. When I got this product home I realised I had more than enough eyeshadow in the exact same colour. I really need to step outside my comfort zone and try different colours.

EOTD - Blue with a shot of pink!

Hey girlies, the is a new section called EOTD’s on The HQ of Beauty, I can’t really call this a ‘Face of the Day/Night’ post because I just done the norm with the face, usual foundation and powder routine and a slick of Boy Bait lipgloss by MAC.

NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

Barry M Dazzle Dust in Baby Blue #20

Barry M Dazzle Dust in Neon Pink #85

Max Factor False Lash Effect

MAC Blacktrack

 

For this look I applied NYX Milk all over the lid using my finger to blend it in and a 217 by MAC, then applied BMDD #20 all over the lid, blending into the crease and out slightly. I then applied Milk pencil on my waterline and tapped a bit of the BMDD in #85 on top of it being careful to not actually touch my eye with the product.

I think the pink on the waterline really changes the colour of my eyes, I probably wouldn’t wear it out like this but it was a fun, quick look to do whilst Darren ♥ was sleeping! ZZZzzzzzz

I'm looking into getting some sort of bigger palette, maybe a 120 palette with loads of colours in. Do any of you have these? Are they worth buying?
