Makeup I have recently been loving


I've really been loving colour on the eyes recently. I've never really found a shade which I thought compliment my eyes, even when following the usual tips. I have green/hazel eyes and they often change colour in seasons going brown in winter and green in the summer. I'm sure there is a word for this?!
But, to the point - I think I have found some shades which I think finally compliment my eyes. I purchased a couple metallic eye creams from 17 when they were released, but although I liked them they wasn't in any shades that I loved. I tried this one in 'wild nude' the other week and suddenly fell in love with the colour. It's a bronzy brown but can look purple in some lights. Although, I wish the staying power was much greater - I've been really impressed with it. It's made me want to try the Chanel versions now!
The MUA eyeshadow was brought such a long time ago randomly when I was trying some new shades. I don't think I ever touched it before but I love it on the outer corner of my eyes and blended out.
The mac eyeshadow is in the shade 'Star violet', and is so pigmented. I use this when I want a stronger pop of colour - mostly in the evenings. But this definitely stays in place.
Nars' blush in 'Orgasm' is a favourite amongst many people, and although I loved it when I purchased it, I never reached for it on a daily basis. I was always one for a pink cheek instead of a coral. But come the warmer months, I know I will be wearing it even more. I often forget about things I have and they become a little un loved.
I recently re-purchased Loreal's Super liner. I did have the one in carbon gloss but I got a little confused as the packaging has changed. This is my favourite eyeliner and never fades. I can honestly say when I take my makeup off in the evening it is still perfectly sat as it was when I applied it first thing in the morning. My sister started using it the other month and was confused how it stayed on her face for so long. Definitely worth a purchase if you don't own already.

Anyone else have any new products or found products they haven't used for a while?

    I have deep throat which is similiar but with less glittery bits apparently, I think Orgasm has a bit of a golder sheer. Sounds pretty though!
