Mystique Beauty, one of the most luxurious online beauty stores in South Africa, and yes we all know by now one of my absolute best-loved local beauty brands, whose products have become a staple in my make-up application process as well as skin care routine, have finally some released some make up. Over the last few months mystique have been driving social media insane, teasing us with eye shadow palettes, sili sponges, unicorn brushes and make up cover sticks. So after a long anticipated wait I finally got my hands on these exciting make up products. The Shadow kissed eye shadow palette is from all the products released the one I wanted to get my hands on the most, mystique advertised the palette as having "nine insanely pigmented buttery eyeshadow pans" so you could say I had already built up quite a few expectations just based of that, cause I don’t know about you, but any eyeshadow that has the words 'buttery' and 'pigmented' in the same sentence, has me head-over-heels. And at my surprise the eyeshadow palette was everything made out to be and more, each eyeshadow is equally pigmented and I was not running to grab my MAC fix setting spray to help pick up more colour as I would with other eyeshadows. The shadow kissed eyeshadow palette is buttery and has seamless and smooth application with no fall out, whether applying the eyeshadows with fingers or brushes they still provided unbelievable pigmentation. I’ve been using the Shadow kiss eyeshadow palette with every make-up look for the past two weeks, and I’ve been getting tons of compliments, and everyone wanting to know what eyeshadow have I got on. The one thing about the shadow kiss palette which, I’m rather disappointed about is the packaging, compared to mystique beauty other products which normally have such a luxurious feel to them this was bit of a letdown. But overall the Shadow kiss palette is perfect addition for your make-up bag as it’s just the right size, the beautiful, insanely, buttery and pigmented colours make this eyeshadow palette one that is worth purchasing, the shadow kiss eyeshadow palette retails online at R200.00 for at the moment previously priced at R350.00. Despite the packaging being a disappoint the contents within compensate for the packaging, if you looking for an eyeshadow palette that’s going to rock your then this one’s for you! Definitely worth your pretty penny. ‘Buttery’ and ‘pigmented’ all I’m going to say (sipping tea)… The other product which mystique gave me something to talk about was the ‘cover up baby gurrl’make up cover stick, now I’m quite the fussy one when it comes to any foundation, concealer and colour corrects because of my sensitive skin, but this cover stick aka concealer is different from your usual make-up cover sticks. The product is free from parabens, for those of you who don’t know, parabens are group of compounds used as preservatives in cosmetic products, this nasty compound basically causes individuals who have sensitive skin, irritation, and dry skin, there are some people who are allergic to paraben as well, so if you one of those people or simply like me who have sensitive skin you might want to stay clear from products containing paraben. The ‘cover up baby gurrl’ make up stick, makes an incredible concealer and is great for slaying that contour, the cover stick comes in lovely yellow undertone which is great for people who have a warm undertone (if you don’t know what undertone you are, look down at your wrist blue veins= cool undertone, green vein= warm undertone), I’m always complaining about how difficult it is to find affordable, concealer, foundations and BB creams that match well with a warm undertone, and I’m pretty excited this cover stick is one affordable, and two matches perfectly with my warm undertone. The cover sticks formula is of a light, creamy consistency, making applications and blending a breeze, with this product a little goes a long way. When applying the concealer I literally use a pea size amount under my eyes, my chin as well as the bridge of my nose. Yes, a pea size amount for all those areas! The cover stick is long-lasting, taking me from 8am to 5pm, providing enough coverage in the areas where I apply concealer, to get me through my day, the product gives a natural finish eliminating the cakey enemy and does not require setting powder to prevent creasing under the eye as the formula is of a light consistency. The cover stick helps to cover my nasty dark circles (and the discolouration on my chin) effortlessly, another factor that I really loved is, the product being waterproof, meaning won’t just melt away on a hot summer day like other concealers. Overall the ‘cover up baby gurrl’ ticks all the right boxes on my checklist though I do hope that mystique adds more colours to the range, for people with darker skin tones, and cooler skins tones. One last product from mystique that I would love to share with you beauties, (if you haven't heard of it already) The 'kissproof matte liptick.Being obessed with make-up you can image how many matte lipstick have I tried already, and if you read previous blog posts you might be aware that, I'm not fan of having my lips feeling like the sahara dessert, but the 'kissproof matte lipsticks from Mystique have passed my matte liquid lipstick test with an A+. The kissproof matte lipstick are long-lasting, and the name says it all, they really are kissproof.I can have lunch, sip my tea/coffee without worrying about my lipstick fading away, and not having to rush to the bathroom to re-apply is the best part.One tip make sure to use a lip scrub before applying as well as lip balm.The kissproof matte lipsticks come in various shades but Dolce is my fave. On that note I should probably go and organize my dressing table to make my mystique beauty unicorn brushes the main attraction..if you beauties would like to purchase any of the products mentioned in my post/in the images head on over to http://mystiquebeauty.co.za/ So mystique beauty and I have teamed up to give one lucky lady some mystique goodies and specifically the shadow kiss eyeshadow palette now heres what you have to do: GIVEAWAY FASHSPIRATION101 X MYSTIQUE BEAUTY:

My favourite colour from the shadow kissed pallete is pillow talk. It best describes me because it is super sparkly and super pigmented and super sexy. It would really make any smokey eye look that more stunning. Please pick me!♡
