wp-1645107962294

I purchased this palette some time ago and I thought that it was about time I wrote my thoughts down, after all, I haven’t written a post here on my blog for ages now. So, if you have been here before thank you for sticking with me, if you have only just found me then Welcome, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

Okay, so I purchased the MUA Makeup Academy Purist Palette from Superdrug on the High Street, but you can buy it directly from the MUA website. HERE or the Superdrug website HERE

This is a 10-pan palette with a gorgeous mix of matte and shimmer cool-toned eye shadows.  They are all buttery soft and blendable to the intensity you want. The packaging is so pretty, and it’s made of cardboard so it can go into your recycling when you have used it up. I have another MUA eyeshadow palette to share with you very soon. One of these days I may pluck up the courage and actually share an actual look with you, right now I don’t have the confidence to do that.

Well that was a bit short and sweet wasn’t it, it will get better hopefully. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading today. if you do enjoy reading my blogs I would love it if you would join me over on Instagram HERE.

It’s a Makeup Revolution Palette!

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa. I hope you are keeping safe and well.

Two weekends ago I actually got out of the house for a whole 2 hours! And, And, AND I went to another town! BUT in my defence I was going for my COVID-19 vaccination. Thank you scientists thank you NHS thank you Astrazenica. My second dose is at the end of May, and I can’t wait. Better days are coming.

After I had my jab Mark persuaded me to pop into Superdrug which was next door but one to the vaccine centre. I needed to pick up some paracetamol and while I was in there Mark treated me to a couple of products that I was after. One being a Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palette, this is the Forever Flawless, Decadent palette.

I love the pretty marble effect packaging of this palette I think it’s plastic, but I believe it can be recycled afterwards.

This beautiful palette is full to the brim with 18 buttery soft eyeshadows, a mix of matte and shimmer shades in colours that will see me through Spring and Summer for sure.

 

The matte shades blend out beautifully and are buildable to the intensity you want for the look you are creating.

I think this palette is appropriate for any age too, and honestly will more than likely take me through to Autumn and Winter. It’s really a year-round eyeshadow palette in my opinion. Lots of copper and bronze, orange and deep brown, it’s really stunning. I really am so glad that I picked up a Makeup Revolution palette again. I haven’t purchased from the brand in ages, I have a mascara from Revolution as well, and I’ll review that here too in the near future. You can check out the Decadent Forever Flawless from Makeup Revolution at Superdrug HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by today, take care.

All About The Base. No7 Airbrush Away Primer and Foundation.

Hey there my lovelies! Welcome to my blog, this is Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

So I have been sharing my love of No7 skincare here on EAB, I thought that I’d share with you two more face products. This is the No7 Airbrush Away Primer and the Foundation.

I actually stopped wearing a primer underneath my foundation because by the end of the day I would have a breakout of spots on my cheek and sometimes my chin. This was down to, I think, that the primer was too heavy/thick for my skin. So I was pretty happy to get this No7 Airbrush Away primer in one of my Boots and No7 beauty boxes, I had already purchased the foundation previously. The primer is Hypo-allergenic and contains Hyaluronic acid spheres to give the skin that soft, blurred appearance to pores and fine lines. It also evens out the skin tone. the primer is white and creamy in appearance and feels so light when it’s applied, not thick and oily like other primers have felt before on my skin. This makes my skin look and feel smooth and almost fresh looking. Although I am showing this primer with its “bestie” I have used it with other foundations and it has worked perfectly with all of them. They all lasted for as long as I was wearing my makeup until I removed it later that day/evening, and not one spot/zit/breakout/blocked pores. This Airbrush Away primer by No7 has just become my new “hero” makeup product, something that will be on repeat order from Boots, for sure. You can find it HERE.

The Airbrush Away primer does have a “best friend” in the Airbrush Away Foundation. This really is rather gorgeous! It’s one of those foundations that gives you that perfect natural-looking skin, made up but not made to look made-up type of thing. It’s dispensed via a pipette-type delivery system. The product does need to be given a good shake before use. It’s very liquid and doesn’t sit on the back of the hand, I pop it onto my foundation brush then apply it to my face. I have found that it does apply better with a brush rather than a sponge, but as always, it’s just personal preference. I do love how my skin looks after applying this foundation, so smooth and healthy-looking. I did think it would be a matte coverage, but it’s just so light your own skin comes through. It’s buildable to the coverage you do want for yourself. Yes, I’m definitely a big fan. It looks like this Airbrush Away foundation is out of stock at the moment, but you can find many other beauties HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today, I’ll come back soon with some more of the similar.

Take care, stay safe…

Boots No7 Summer Edit Limited Edition Face Palette…

Hi, there my lovelies welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

The No7 Summer Edit Limited Edition Face Palette is literally Summer in a makeup palette…… BUT it’s also very Autumnal too! The colours really are trans-seasonal, in my humble opinion.

This is a cute little palette which sits just nicely in my hand and the mirror lets me see the whole of my face clearly. It’s a shiny black case with the No7 logo in gold on the top. Inside are 4 highly pigmented eyeshadows, 2 matte, and 2 shimmers, the two gorgeous highlighters are in flattering champagne gold tones, the bronzer is shimmery with warm tones, and the blusher is a flattering pink tone for that flushed look that’s so pretty.

Using this palette is such a delight. There’s no fall-out from any of the eyeshadows, and all are so buttery and blendable to the intensity you want. I don’t wear bronzer much, if at all when I do my makeup, but just for the sake of research I applied the bronzer from this palette, and oh it’s so pretty and definitely makes me want to carry on using it. It gave my face a nice warmth it made me look a bit sunkissed because I actually haven’t been out at all and I was looking very very pale. It was easy to use and it blended out beautifully across my face. My favourite product in the palette is actually the pretty pink-toned blusher. It blends like a dream and a little goes a long way, it’s gorgeous. I don’t use much highlighter either, but this one I just applied to just above my cheekbones, not too close to the under-eye area, and a tad above my top lip on the cupids bow to try and make my lips look less thin. This palette really is a new favourite of mine. I’ve been using MUA and Makeup Revolution for years, as I don’t buy high end because I don’t have high-end money, however, this No7 face palette was a bit more than I would usually pay at £18 but for me is worth every penny, I love it! I don’t know how long the Summer Edit palette is available for, you can see it HERE.

I do have a few makeup products to share with you that are by No7, next one being a lip and cheek palette. Did I love it as much as this beauty? Please come back soon to find out.

Thank you for stopping by and reading today, take care of yourselves, sending you lots of love.

Hey there folks, I hope you are all well and welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

A couple of weeks ago I made a brilliant purchase on the Boots website. There are always fantastic offers to be had on there too. You have to be quick though because they sell out in no time. This beauty box has now sold out, but the products inside are obviously still available singularly, which is why I’m featuring it here on my blog. 

The Boots No7 Beauty Vault. 

Buying this, I really did get so much for my money, and there isn’t one product that will not get used. I shall even use up the facial wipes, just for the clean-ups mind, never for facial cleansing at all. So below is a list of the products inside the Beauty Vault.

I also picked up a No7 Airbrush Away Foundation, a duo pack of Boots brand lip balm with SPF 15, and finally a No7 Nail Treatment. The No7 limited edition Kiss and Cheek palette was a FREE gift with purchases!

Happy Teresa? Oh yes indeedy. 

I shall be writing reviews obvs, on the products as I use them, so I hope you will come back for that.
