Recent Make-Up Haul

I don't know what's gotten into me lately but I made three orders for make up within a week and I'm not really a make-up kinda gal.

I think I've turned to make up because I'm trying not to buy anything new skincare-wise before going on a field trip to London in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, I thought I would share with you what I've been ordering!

Order #1 - The All Natural Face

Natural, mineral and vegan make up with everything from foundation to oral care. 

I really miss using liquid eyeliner for nights out. I'd heard so much about the quality of TANF Gel Liner ($5.75) that this was the main reason for my order. I picked up one in That Black and Midnight Plum because I'm partial to a purple eye-liner.

That Black is outstanding; a true black not one of these watery black. 8 hours of wear and its still exactly where I put it - no smudging or flaking here! 

I was initially a bit disappointed in Midnight Plum. I thought it would be a dark purple but it is more brown with purplely gold flecks. I quickly came around to the colour though and now I love it. It's a great alternative to brown liner during the day if I want a bit of glam to my neutral look.

Fix-It ($4 for 1oz) is an eyeshadow/eyeliner spray sealant and foundation hydration mist in one. I have yet to put this to a real test with my oily eyelids but for a day to day test it works well. 

Aaand, Try All The Blushes ($5) - I was in desperate need of a new blush but didn't really know where to start. This pack contains 27 samples of their blushes and I've had so much fun testing them out. There are a few shades I'm favouring at the moment but as I don't use blush too often, I don't think I'm going to need to buy a full size any time soon!

Order #2 - Silk Naturals

I blame this on Katie from Katie Vibes. Katie is a big Silk Naturals fan and after reading and re-reading some of her posts, I had to give them a go myself. I could have spent a fortune on pallets and eye liners but managed to keep it under $20 for customs.

I wanted to give their foundation a try so ordered the Vegan Ivory Foundation Sample Kit  for $3.95. This comes with everything you need to mix your own foundation to make sure you get a perfect match.

I've only just received this so have yet to have a play! First impressions, bit concerned at how dark the samples are.

I fell in love with the colour Dixie for a lip stain so had to add it to my basket. At only $4.50 I think this is a steal. The colour is gorgeous, a warm peachy red that can be built up to a brick red with more coats.

I saw on the side bar of the website that they do Fragrance Rollers so I picked up the scent Potion - Blackcurrant and Pomegranate- Juicy, sexy and romantic. I love it and so does my husband! The scent is fruity and fresh, it lasts well (better than my Acorelle testers) and is in a handy size tube for portability.

Order #3 - The All Natural Face

Back to TANF. I couldn't resist the Diva Sticks any longer. I picked up Creme Brulee and Fawn; only $4.88 each which works out at about £2.90!!

I also bought their foundation sample set Try Every Shade of Foundation in Your Range for $4.60. I received 25 bags of pale to medium shades to swatch with. Like with the blush, as I don't often wear foundation, I think this is going to last me a good amount of time. 

I'm hugely impressed by the quality of products and also the cost of both of these sites.Shipping times for both sites was speedy - my first TANF turned up exactly one week after I ordered, Silk Naturals in 5 days and my second TANF in just over two weeks.

I feel like I've got a really good selection of make up now, rather than just my eyeliner and mascara. With these three orders and my Shiro Cosmetics eye shadows, I think I'm set for a while....until I see something new anyway!

Whew - that turned out to be a bit of a longer post that I thought!

Have you used The All Natural Face or Silk Naturals before? What did you get?
