It was mine and my sister's birthday last week and for this hot summer weather this foundation and pressed powder combination has been hand's down the best for the humid days we have been having in Sydney if your looking for a good pressed powder the colour pop pretty fresh one is amazing its full coverage and it blurs my pores
When i received my Mecca email regarding Christmas mini gifts have arrived to say that I was excited was an understatement I've been waiting for Australia to finally have some of the mini Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks for ages now unfortunately Mecca was sold out so I popped onto the Charlotte Tilbury website and found them for the exact same price as Mecca was selling them
I also picked up a Pillow Talk mini mascara as well to try out as we don't have any of her mini collections here in Aus yet I also got the mini Laura Mercier powder I've been wanting to try this ever since I did my cousins wedding makeup she bought some of this powder and it kept her foundation set in place for ages
Skin Tint's have been getting more popular recently with more brands coming out with lighter foundations and tinted moisturisers it can be a overwhelming process.
So in this blogpost i have added my top 4 skin tints plus one of newest favourite spf's from Mecca
Flower Beauty get real serum foundation
shades shell L0 and porcelain L1 both the lightest shades in the range
shell has more of a pink fair undertone and porcelain has more of a yellowish undertone
these are so lightweight on the skin and just add a tiny bit of coverage without looking heavy or feeling heavy.
Fenty Beauty ease drop blurring skin tint
Shade 1 lightest shade in the range buildable light to medium coverage
perfect for all skin types doesn't have an oily feel
Estée Lauder double wear sheer
This is a little too dark for me apparently this is the lightest shade they have in this range so I mix a little bit of that Morphe 2 concealer to make it suit my skin tone better
This isn't oily on the skin either
Morphe 2 skin tint foundation & concealer
I wasn't too sure with the shade ranges the concealer is a little too white but i use this one as an eyeshadow base primer for my eye looks when my makeup is lightweight for some hot days.
This is a buildable coverage product that has the cutest little dropper applicator
The colours are really smooth and they hold so much pigment without any fall out.
For this makeup look I also used the Pillow Talk eyes to mesmerise shadow pot over the top for a bit more glitter over the top for a pop.
with matte shadows, satin shadows & a shimmer shadows.
Which makes these easy to use for any day or night look.
Mecca Max always has such high quality eyeshadows for such a good price they have these new little mini eyeshadows that are absolutely perfect for travel and in your everyday makeup kit they have about 6 different colour's stories to choose from and they retail at $20.00 AUD
Each palettes have a mix of shimmer and matte shadows that are really pigmented and i just love the compact mirror in these palettes these are the 3 that i picked up from Mecca
Smoke & Mirrors
Total Breeze
Live Lavish
This one has more matte neutrals with a pop of peach a gorgeous berry shade.
These have to be one of my new favourites for eyeshadow palettes
Have you picked any up from Mecca ?

Over the last few months I have been trying out some of the Charlotte tilbury items that are in the Pillow Talk line here is some of my favourites that I have bought from Mecca
The Pillow Talk eyes to mesmerise cream shadow
The formula of these are very cream and they dry down to a matte finish that doesn't budge I apply these with a small flat brush and then use my finger to blend it over a little bit.
Pillow Talk Medium lipstick
I am wanting to get the original pillow talk lipstick now that I have been using the medium one
again the formula of these lipsticks are super creamy and smooth but they stay place quite well.
Pillow Talk Medium beauty light wand
These have been out of stock at Mecca for months so I was able to grab the medium one online this has to be such a fun golden shade for the cheek area
The Palettes that i got were Heart & Sol Call me Sunshine & Nude Awakening
