Beauty Haul. May Edition

Hey Guys,


This is the second half of my beauty haul.  

I'm going to start with the four purple lipsticks, I seem to have accumulated. I have recently bought my first Models Own Colour Lip-Stix, in the purple shade, there is no name on it, so I will have to insert it later. This cost just £5. Another one I got is the MUA in Lilac Belle, which obviously cost £1 and is Matte. I have also bought the Little Mix for Collection in Perrie which is around £3. Away on the other side of the scale is the Revlon Matte Balm in Desinvolte which was around £7.99

The Pink lipsticks I have picked up are Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in shade 5 Ole Flamingo, cost £9, Collection Sweet Tart, £2.99 this is a fairly bright pink, which will be great for everyday wear. Collection Cream Puff in the shade cotton candy, a nice matte lip cream. I have also finnaly got my hands on a Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 110, which is a bright pinky coral shade, which cost around £4 on a boots deal. 

The last few lipsticks I have recently bought are a sheer orange lipstick by Revlon which cost £7.99 and is in the shade carnival spirit. I also grabbed a few others of the Little Mix for Collection Lipsticks in the shades Jade which is a gorgeous muted nude colour and Jesy which is a vibrant red colour. 

Finally something that isn't lips related, I have gotten some of the new Kate Moss eye collection, In fact I got the emerald Green Gel eyeliner ( which is stunning on), a couple of the eye crayons, in rose gold and Electric Sapphire. Lastly from her collection I got the Rocking Curves Mascara, but just in the very black colour. 

Finally the last few things are my holy grail concealer the Collection lasting perfections concealer in 1 fair, Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Pink Blossom and the Maybelline Go Colossal Extreme Volum' mascara. 

Phew that is a massive haul. I do plan on doing some reviews on the products, hopefully some time will be freed up and I can start blogging properly again. 

Saturday Dinner Date FOTN

Hey Guys and Dolls, 

Hope you are all having a fabulous Valentines Weekend. My lovely other half took me out last night for dinner. 

So this is what I done to my face for going out for the dinner. 

This was the final look, I came up with. 

I used my usual face products of Fashionista Vanishing cream primer, Rimmel match perfection foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I finished my base with a light dusting of MUA pressed powder. I also used Benefit Hoola Bronzer and the glossybox glossy rosewood blusher. 







 


On my eyes I used Urban Decay primer potion to prime my eyes and the patted on Concretes Smut eye mineral shadow and on the outer corner I used Doe-eyed by Concrete too, Review here. I lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell and Soap and Glory smoulder Kohl, then finished with lashings of Maybelline Smokey eyes mascara. My eyebrows I done with the new PS.Love brow pencil in light, I got this in a recent primark trip.







 
 
I finished the look with one of my favourite lipsticks Urban Decay Catfight. I did mix some of a lighter pink lipstick, to give it more of a romantic colour.

Hope you all like this look. 







Blog soon

Lipstick Junkie

Hey Guys and Dolls, 


Recently I have became an absolute lipstick junkie. Every little shopping/browsing trip has had me buying a new lipstick. 

I have bought every sort of lipstick from a £15 one to ones that cost as little as £1. I have gone super crazy with them. 

Firstly I have bought a Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in the colour catfight. This was bought purely for the name, as I am a proper cat lady in the making. But when I saw the colour I fell in love with it. Its a beautiful deep pink colour. I bought mine from Jenners in Edinburgh, you can buy it here. 

Next up I bought a matte lipstick from MUA. These little babies cost a mere £1, you cant get a lot for that nowadays. I love the normal formula of the £1 lipsticks, but these ones just don't deliver as much of a punch as the normal ones. I was quite disappointed in it. I got the wild berry shade, which looked like it would be a gorgeous dark reddy purple colour. It wasn't anything near as dark as that. The lipstick was very drying and patchy on the lips.

The other £1 lipstick I have is a little pink number, I got whilst out in town with my Mammy Bear. I got it whilst in a shop called Tiger. Not sure if they are anywhere else in the UK. But its just a little bright pink lippy that looks great.

Then I went out and bought a little hello kitty lipstick, mainly for the packaging. But the colour was absolutely gorgeous. Its a dark red colour. I'm not sure where these are available to buy online, but you can pick them in Primark and some B'N'S stores they cost £1.99. 

I then went a little bit crazy whilst looking at the Collection stands in superdrug. I got 2 of the Little Mix lipsticks, I got the Perrie (a dark purple mauve colour) and Jade ( a pinky nude colour), they are gorgeous, great pigmentation and they are so creamy. They cost £2.99 each from superdrug.

The last 2 lipsticks I have gotten recently are more Collection lipsticks but a different line of lipsticks they have out. These ones are from their Deluxe range. I got the colours Talullah (a light pink colour) and Prohibition ( a dark pink/red shade), these cost £3.99 normally but boots have them on offer, just now for £2.99. 

The last lipstick I want to speak about in a lip tar by OCC. I got it whilst buying some other things in a blog sale. I got the colour Anime, which a gorgeous hot pink.  I got it off of a make up artist who is moving to Singapore soon, so was selling her work make up. There is no link for this but here is a selection of OCC make up in Selfridges.


What are your favourite lipsticks?

Matte Lips

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Over the past few weeks I have fallen in love with the new to the high street, liquid lipstick. 
The two that I have currently tried are the Sleek Matte Me and MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer. 

Both of the products can be bought in Superdrug and Sleek have newly been released on Boots website, not seen a stand in a shop yet for it. 

I have 3 shades of the Matte me they are in 
Fandango Purple (bright fuschia purple)
Brink Pink (neon pink)

Party Pink (coral pink)

The MUA velvet lip lacquer's I have 4 shades, 

Reckless (true red)

Atomic (tomato/orangey red)

Kooky (dark purple)

Funk (deep pink)

So these lip sticks are meant to be similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines and Hourglass liquid lipsticks, both of which I need to purchase. I love matte lipsticks and these are the best I have found. The Matte Me ones last longer than the MUA ones. I will put a proper review of both of them in a few days (hopefully). 

These are defo worth the £3 (MUA) and £4.99 (sleek). I do plan on getting the other colours which is 1 more from MUA and 3 more from Sleek. 
I do wish there were more nude colours as it would make more variations of it.

High street VS High End #1

Hey Girls, 

Hope you all had a great weekend. I have a new series starting on this blog, called high street vs high end. Its basically just going to be dupes of high end products. 

For this one, I have MUA's dupe of an Urban Decay Palette. 
So in the UD corner, we have the Smoked Palette and in the MUA corner we have the Smokin Palette. 

These are two very similar in colours palettes. The first noticeable difference is the packaging. The MUA is in the normal black plastic packaging, where as  UD uses a gorgeous black zip closing packaging that has a massive mirror attached. 
Also the prices are very, very different. The UD smoked is priced at £35, where as MUA is priced at very purse friendly £6. 

What is included in the Palette?
Both palettes have 10 eye-shadows and a black eye pencil.
The UD one came with a sample sized eye primer and a booklet on different eye looks you can make with the shadows. 

Pigment, texture, blendability

Some swatches so you can see the colour difference.

Both palettes have pretty similar colours in them. The colours all have names, they both have a mixture of mattes and shimmer. They have matte cream, nude and black. The shimmers range from beautiful jewel tones the UD ones are more black toned colours. They also have some bronze colours and silver/greys. 
UD shadows are buttery soft and blend seamlessly. The MUA ones are a bit more chalky on some of the shadows, but they are soft and blend lovely too. Although they are not pigmented as the UD ones. 


Round up 
MUA have made a very good dupe of Smoked, although some of the colours are a little off, but lovely all the same. The eye liner that came with the palette is the best I have seen on the high street in a long time. It is creamy and pigmented, although it came without a lid.. downfall there for that. The palette is great for the price and would be a great start to smoky eyes for learners or beginners. All you need is in the palette apart from mascara. 

The UD palette is amazing, I really can not fault it. The shadows are amazing and the smooth and silky soft. I love it.

I will post some pictures later.
