L'Oréal Lumiere Mono Eyeshadow 502 Quartz Fumé - review + swatch on dark skin

This eyeshadow is one of the most gorgeous eyeshadows (I mean look at it!) I've ever owned. I was having a prowl a my local drugstore when this little beauty caught my eye and at first swatch I was sold.
The L'Oréal Lumiere mono eyeshadow in 502 Quartz Fumé is a metallic dark brown/bronze/taupe colour but when applying its also a bit purple running through.
It's a powder eyeshadow thats smooth as butter (if that makes sense) when applied. It really is a beautiful shade and the picture doesn't do it justice.

If you have oily eyelids you should apply a primer before any eyeshadow and it's always a most for me. I use the Urban Decay primer potion which has never failed me and this combo lasted hours. Having oily eyelids is so aggravating some times and as a result of not using a primer, the eyeshadow either disappears or creases and I'm left with a weird line.

Have you tried the L'Oréal Lumiere mono eyeshadow and what were your thoughts?

Make Up For Ever HD Concealer pen - review

This is the second time I've bought this concealer and it's one of my favourites. The concealer has a silicone applicator, which makes applying a lot smoother. First time using the concealer pen, you should turn the of the pen a couple times before the product comes out. Then when applying the concealer, you can either turn the pen 1-3 times depending on how much cover you need. I turn it two times and use a Real Techniques contour brush to blend it out.
I've been trying out a new method where I leave the concealer on to "bake" before blending it out with powder. This new way of putting on the concealer (well new for me), has made the concealer last longer and doesn't make it crease. The powder I use to set is Mac mineralize skinfinish.
I only use this concealer and haven't touched the Mac Studio Finish concealer as it always creased on me. I would like to try out the Nars Creamy concealer but that will have to wait for another time.

NARS Casino Bronzer - review + swatch on dark skin

Nars Casino bronzer is darker than the laguna bronzer and has a little shimmer to it. The bronzer was a impulse buy as I was returning a foundation that didn't match me. The salesassistent helped me find a highlighter and then asked me if I wanted something to contour with. She brought the Nars Casino bronzer and applied and I was sold.

This is the only product I use to contour with (even though I'm eyeing up the Make Up For Ever ultra HD stick foundation to use as a contour). It's quite pigmented and the shimmer is not to noticeable, the only thing thats a con about this product is that it's quits expensive.

What's your favourite contour/bronzer?
