Ben Nye Banana Powder

I've been using this powder daily for at least 6 months now, and totally forgot to share it with you. 

It's a product that i was enticed to buy after seeing it was used on Kim Kardashian as a staple setting powder, and I can see why. 

 the yellow banana tone in the powder evens out the most sallow skin tones and sets foundation beautifully. I have been really concious of my dark under eye circles,and this really has helped to balance them out, as well as stopping the concealer creasing around the eyes. Gives a beautiful matte finish, baby soft to the touch. 

I hate the dreaded 'white flash face' when you have a photo taken and you look like a ghost, this stuff really will warm your complexion but not too much. I think thanks to the yellow tone in this powder it would compliment most skin tones, if not Ben Nye do a range of the the finely milled powders to suit everyone, so if you feel washed out wearing BB cream during the summer months, grab one of the warmer shades to buff over and give your complexion a glow.

I will stick to this powder, you just can't beat the value for money it offers, which to be honest surprises me as being a celeb fave I thought it would be mega expensive! This powder held up really well in 40 degree temperatures whilst I was on holiday too, and I don't have to reapply like I have done in the past with pressed powders that just leave you complexion looking caked in make up. 

My only niggle would be the packaging design, I have decanted mine into smaller pots (an old Bare Minerals one with the sifter works fab!) as travelling with this or using it on the go would be a disaster! 

If you live in the UK you can order direct from Treasure House Of Make Up I bought the small tub, paid under £10 for mine and 6 months on it's still going, not even half way through in fact.

Get it now while you can, because thanks to Kim K and her MUA worldwide supplies are running low!

Lipsy The Kardashian Kollection

This Kollection is set to be a sell out
 

Channelling the fashion and flare of each one of the Kardash sisters, I'm sure you'll find it hard to choose which pieces you just have to have. It launched on Friday the 24th of October (Kim K's Birthday) and the latest from Lipsy is that it's been selling fast.

 

They really have added the Kardashian touch to every single piece in this range, and I do think it's a great way of making us girlies feel a million dollars without breaking the bank, everything is under £100 (although that lace jumpsuit in the middle below..is one of the higher priced pieces, at £75, my man wont be happy)

 

The range has a little bit of everything, from jackets, blazers, dresses trousers & skirts, to bags, jumpsuits and clutches, there really is something to suit every budget.

As much as I'm not a huge fan of the celeb trend clothing ranges I do actually think with their love of fashion the girls actually had a lot of input into these pieces, and is a name I'd be happy to wear. One thing i do feel is it has a more luxurious feel to it than the range they did for Dorothy Perkins, could be just because Lipsy is a high street, borderline designer clothing brand that makes it feel just that little bit more high end.

 

Along with THAT lace jumpsuit, here are my must have pieces.....

(perfect for the party season, right girls?!) 

Animal Print Midi £55



Lace Top Peplum Dress £75

Yoke Lace Shift Dress £55
 

If you cant afford the clothing they have brought some very affordable accessories to the range, consisting of some fab bags.



I cant help but think what with it being Kim's birthday & her engagement last week it all seems to have fallen in neatly around this Kollection launching, great tactics girls!

What will you be treating yourself to?
