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. 


Glossybox May 2014 Superdrug turns 50 collab

Hey Guys, 

This months Glossybox, was a very nice surprise. Firstly I somehow managed to buy two boxes. Don't ask, trying to update your payment method before a 8am start, it didn't work well for my bank. 

That being said I have 2 very different boxes to show you guys. 

In my normal box I got, Max factor Facefinity All Day Primer (£10.99, full size), Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara in very black (£4.99, full size), 2 true PRO 3D Candy Nail Art (£3 full size), B. Sheer Conditioning Lipstick in Petal (£6.99 full size) and Vaseline Spray and Go Coco (£4.99, full size). 
This box is my favourite, it is all full sizes and I was very excited about everything when I seen what was inside. I have always been wanting to try some of the B. cosmetics, as I have tried their Miscellar water, so the lipstick was very interesting to me. Box cost roughly £30


On the same day  I had to wizz down to the post office to collect the other box, that had came the previous day, but I was at work. 

So in this box, I got: Scholl Velvet Smooth Night Mask, (£7.99 full size), Collection Bronze Glow bronzer (£2.99 full size), I love, Strawberries& milkshake lipgloss ( £1.29 full size) B. Complete Nail Polish in Quartz (£4.99 full size) and finally Blow Pro After Blow (Hairspray and sample size). Box cost nearly £20.

In both boxes I got 2 samples of Garnier Oil beauty lotion and a perfume sample of Ghost Eclipse. 

Both of these boxes have got some really good things in them and I do look forward to using and testing them out. Be sure to look out for some reviews on some of them.

Glitter Liners

Hey Guys, 

I was going to wait until I done a few themed weeks, one being all about the eyes. But I have decided that it just could not wait. 

As a girl, I can be prone to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to glitter, so when I found out that Collection had a line of glitter eye liner I had to check them out. Although I do remember when they first came out a while back, they released only a few colours. Now they have a lot of colours, near enough 10 shades I think. 
So whilst out a couple of days ago, I decided to pick one up, as I had watched a youtube video, where they are being duped for the Urban Decay heavy metal glitter liners. 
As I have a few really old Urban Decay liners, I thought I would do a little review on both of them and I also found a 17, starry eyes glitter liner. 


The Urban Decay, Heavy Metal liner £13-£14 get them here
I got these in a set of 3 quite a while back for Christmas, although I can only find 2 of them. I have Baked which is a bronze glitter and Stage Dive which is a lovely green colour. These dry quickly and I used to love putting these on top of a black eyeline to give a cat eye look extra ooomph. As these have a clear base to them, they can go on anything really. They do have a gorgeous range of colours, everything from pinks and purples to golds and silvers. 

 

The Collection Glam Crystals are around £2.98-£2.99 buy here
There are around 10-12 shades in this line, I found that Asdas instore had a lot more shades than anywhere else. I have the shade Va va voom, which is a pink, green and it has a hint of gold and silver in a clear base. This looks amazing with a cat eye, this is by far my favourite shade. It dries quickly and stays put. The shades range again from pinks and purples to mixed colours and silvers, golds. 




The 17 Starry Eyes, you get these from Boots. 
 I can't find a link to these, but I know I only got it last year, so they should still be instore. I got mine on an offer with my boots advantage card. This seems to have a dark base and a dark silver/gray glitter. I love this for when I want full on sparkle, I also love that I don't need to put on a normal eyeliner first. 

These are only 3 of the many glitter eyeliners out there on the market. These are amazing to add just that extra bit of sparkle to any look. I would recommend the collection one, as they are so inexpensive and they do last a long time. So you should all go and try them, I'm not sure if they are anything like the Urban Decay ones, since my UD ones are a bit too old for me to say they are dupes or not. 

Have you got any glitter liner favourites, leave a comment to let me know which ones.

Until next time

Blog Haul #2

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I have been out again this week and picked a few things. 
Firstly I picked up a few nail polishes from the George at Asda range. I picked up one of their normal range of polish, that costs £1.75 and I also grabbed one of their take on gel polish which was £3. I also picked up whilst in Asda a collection deluxe lipstick in the Red colour, I think I got it for around £2.50, I also picked up a George at Asda lipstick, I got a pink one, that cost £3.50.

Also that day I received a package of two Wet and Wild lipsticks from the states.I got 2 of the Matte lipsticks in an orange shade and a dark purple. In the same order I got a Lime Crime Pink Velvet Velvetine. I can't remember how much these were, but they are all gorgeous. 

Then yesterday I decided to go into Tesco's for a little browse and pick my dad up a birthday card. But I got dragged into the make aisle. I got sucked into the 3 for 2 offer on Barbara Daly make up range that Tesco's do. I picked up a a gel eyeliner, that cost £4, a eyeshadow crayon in the colour bronze gold, for £3 (reduced from £7). I also picked up something called helping hands that was reduced to £3.50, I have no clue what I do with it but I shall learn. 

I also recently bought the Garnier Miscellar Water, for £3.33, I look forward to using all of these products and there might be a few cheeky review coming your way.


Until next time guys.

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.

Saturday Night: Face Of The Night #1

Hey My Lovelies. 

This is just a super quick post on the make up I wore out on the 8th February.

This is how I had my make up on Saturday night.


 I had a soft smokey purple eye, I used my Mac shadows in Sable and Sketch and lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell felt tip liner and on my bottle waterline, I used my Soap and Glory purple eyeliner that I got in a christmas set. I then used plenty Smokey mascara by Maybelline. 
For my eyebrows I used my Accessorise Eyebrow kit.  


Please Excuse the pout
On my face I used the Urban Decay foundation in 3.5, after I had moisturised and primed my skin by using the Vanishing Cream by Fashionista. I used a blush by The Balm and contoured using Soap and Glory. I concealed my blemishes and undereye bags with the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. 
On my lips I used OCC lip tar in Anime.


Hope you like these kind of post. 

Bye guys.

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?
Bye Guys
