By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon (Review, Swatches & Makeup Look)

17 March 2015

By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon: Review, Swatches and Makeup Look

By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon, £28 / $44 – Space NK (UK) | Barneys (US)

Meet my new favourite eyeshadow – the By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Bronze Moon; a pricey investment, but one that’s worth every penny! I’m so impressed by it that I’ve already decided to order a couple more shades, and at £28 a pop, that wasn’t an easy decision to make. Anyway, enough waffling on – let’s have a proper look at this beauty, shall we?

By Terry Ombre Blackstar - Bronze Moon

The By Terry Ombre Blackstar Eyeshadows are smooth and smudge-proof cream eyeshadows that come in a convenient and luxurious-looking twist-up stick. But there’s so much more to it than meets the eye – this is not your regular cream eyeshadow; it contains fortifying calcium, anti-ageing proteins and antioxidants to smooth the eyelids and adhesive polymers, which fixate the colour on the eyes, giving it a waterproof effect. That’s what I call a fancy formula!

From the start this eyeshadow doesn’t disappoint; it comes in a beautiful gold stick with the shade of the eyeshadow matching the trim at the bottom, so you can have a little preview of what that colour looks like before you open the lid. I was pleased that the twist-up mechanism felt really secure and it didn’t get pushed down when applying the eyeshadow directly from the stick.

The texture of the By Terry Ombre Blackstar Eyeshadows is something I’ve never experienced before with a cream eyeshadow; it’s so soft that it almost melts on the eyes, which makes it extremely easy to blend, but when it sets, it doesn’t budge or smudge, lasting for several hours without creasing or fading at all.

The pigmentation is also outstanding! The shades come out with a metallic wet-looking sheen, which gladly stays on even after blending. However, in order to keep it looking as intense as possible, I prefer to apply the eyeshadow directly from the stick onto my eyelids, and only blend the edges with my Zoeva 227 Luxe Soft Definer Brush. It really is the easiest product to give you a sophisticated eye makeup look without much effort or spending too much time blending.

For my first By Terry Ombre Blackstar purchase, I really wanted to get my money’s worth out of it, so I played it safe and chose the shade ‘Bronze Moon’. It’s a lovely mid-toned warm brown with a metallic bronze wet sheen – the perfect ‘one-colour-does-it-all’ shade for olive skin tones like mine and very wearable for daytime and evenings. These eyeshadows are one of the most versatile makeup products you could have in your makeup bag, which kind of makes up for its hefty price tag, as you can use them on their own all over the lids, paired with other eyeshadows, as a base for a more long-lasting eye makeup look and even as eyeliner.

The makeup look I’m wearing on these photos was created by swiping ‘Bronze Moon’ all over the lid and blending the edges out with a blending brush. Then I applied the shade S4 from the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette, which is a pale champagne colour, on the inner half of my eye. I finished off the look with a brown eyeliner on my waterline and lots of mascara – it was so easy and to be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve been that happy with how my eye makeup looks!

So if you haven’t gathered by now, I LOVE THIS EYESHADOW – in capitals! The By Terry Ombre Blackstars are far from being affordable, but in my opinion, they are so worth the investment because they are great quality, extremely versatile and super pigmented – basically, everything you need in an eyeshadow. I’ve decided to bite the bullet and get two more shades – Blond Opal (a pale champagne/gold) and Misty Rock (a rose-toned silvery purple) – which I think will give me lots more options for super quick and sophisticated makeup looks, especially over the next few months as a new mum with no time to spare.

    Ótima resenha, como sempre =)
    Você já testou a Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow? É bem parecida, mas acho que as cores desta da By Terry são mais bonitas.

    I love it when cream shadows keep that glossy look even after they’re blended- I keep hearing such great things about these!

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
