Lisa Eldridge 💄

I'm so bummed I never got the blushes, they look like they were great. I'll definitely try the concealer. I have dark circles + excess wrinkles due to undereye skin (genetics) and despite having had a blepharoplasty they're STILL THERE but just not as pronounced. Womp womp!

I'm sure she's confirmed the blushes are back this year

I love the skin tint and I do use it with powder sometimes.

If it’s a regular day, and I’m using it to look a little more polished than no makeup at all, I never apply powder. I usually prime my face with a good serum and then Embryolisse, skin tint, do the rest of my makeup, usually minimal - and then check if I need to touch up on the skin tint and then done.

However, if I am working a 12 hour day, or if work takes me to a venue where I need to look extra polished, I would set the skin tint with a powder. Again, I’d start by really priming my skin and then skin tint, then part of my make up (usually start with my eyes), then I apply powder - loose powder - knocked off my powder brush, sparingly applied to the areas where I usually shine - t zone mainly. Then finish make up, and use a clean brush to go over my entire face, which really seems to set the make up and blend and remove any excess. Saw it on a LE video and it was so clever. I don’t use blush contour as I don’t have time, and this takes a much shorter time than it does to explain!

Here’s the video where Lisa explains it. using a good brush to set and take make up off is just as important as putting the make up on.

I didn’t realise there was a free gift this time. Is it still the denim bag?

Off topic, does anyone know if the Hourglass Holiday Palettes are only ever available on their own website or do they also sell them at Space NK, etc?

Yes it's the denim bag. And the hourglass limited holiday editions are available on other sites as well. I know house of fraser and space nk have stocked them previous years.

I shake the bottle very well, put two drops on the back of my hand and with my fingers apply dots all over my face, concentrating on areas of redness or which need to be covered. I then just rub into my skin like a serum or face cream. It’s very liquid but has a bit of grip, and you can see it smoothing out the tones of your skin. I watched a video by Lisa the other day where she gave a hack for polished “makeup artist finished skin” - once the product has set on the skin, use a dry make up brush to very gently buff it into the skin. This literally takes seconds (and feels lovely), and really does smooth everything out and give a lovely finish!

Thank you for this x

Some more swatches. It’s interesting how brown leaning a lot of these are.

I had Lili on and it looks more orange-red than brown on me.

They sold them last year as I literally got one from Space NK. A few other stockists did too

What do you want it swatching against? I have a lot of LE lipsticks....

It's a very blue wearable pink. It's almost a perfect nude on me.

Thinking of my neutrals/nudes, I have Kitten Mischief, Rose Official, Simone, Romy, Lisa, Ashes of Roses.
I have lots of other shades too. Is it similar to any you already have?
Thanks.

Anyone who wears contacts, how's the mascara?

I like Clinique's tubing mascara a lot so it's the only one I really use; I like my lashes to look natural but a bit more oomph to them, not thick per se. It does get bits in my eyes at times, though, but it doesn't irritate them. Most mascaras do.

I can just wait a few days for my shipment to get here of course

 

[LittleMissOnions]

Really want to do an order with the new lip balms and the mascara but I also want to try the skin tint in T7 as the 6 is just a bit too pale now my skin is picking up some colour but of course it’s the one shade out of stock

 

[Libertine1975]

If anyone has an unused Cinnabar palette I would totally buy it. I am surprised it has been discontinued and wish I had bought it before...

 

[elliebee27]

Ooh okay, so I'm similar to you but with dark brown hair, I really love Rose Official! Spirited Away is nice too!

I wear Tint 1 and Foundation shade 2.

 

[Missmopps]

I’ve seen quite a few of the pouches on eBay if anyone’s got FOMO

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

They are available individually because I bought one!

I didn't scroll down far enough! I went to the gloss embrace page to find them singly as the lurex ones had been added to their page, but they weren't there. Didn't think of scrolling further down the holiday page. I have rectified my mistake and bought Kensington plum and whilst I was there got the cleanser and headband

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

Oh thank you so much. Xx I have 2 or 3 of those lip products so I can see what they look like agains mine. Romy does look really similar.l to Simone. I was surprised by that. On the website they look different.

When Charlotte H swatched all the Rouges, Simone and Toasted looked practically the same but on the website there's much more of a difference.

Just seen Charlotte Holdcroft say customer services have said due to popular demand there will be a Betty restock, so you will get your chance!

Yaaaaay!

 

[Missmopps]

I have the liberty bag and it’s a perfect size for travelling as it holds so much. I’m tempted to get another as a GWP to keep in my travelling bag but maybe when Lisa does her next big drop of new launches.

 

[Missmopps]

I bought both autumn kits and that should have entitled me to the denim pouch but the code pouch wasn’t working any which way I tried so I didn’t get a freebie. . I love the cleanser too, I admit to being lazy at night so I only use it as and when (maybe once a week) and use miceller water otherwise.

 

[Ponponpon]

Based on the artwork I’m thinking something to do with the lips?
She said she’s still working on her blushes on instagram

It's wishful thinking on my part!

 

[francesthemute]

My lashes are atrocious atm so I’ve just purchased RapidLash to try and give them a chance!

Waiting for Betty 🩵

Is her cleanser good? I haven’t ventured into any of her skincare stuff, just the make up.

I love the cleanser. I'm terrible for using too much product but I quickly realised you need so little and it's a single cleanse. As @JaneRev said it is expensive but worth it for me, I have already repurchased. The only thing I can't get on with is the mist. It's not that it's bad it's just a lot of money and there are other mists I like.
