L'oreal manga mascara review!

Hello everyone!

Today I am going to be talking about L'Oreal latest mascara, There are 3 shades available, black, turquoise and tropical violet. I picked up the shade tropical violet as purple is good for bringing out hazel eyes. I have done some before and after so you can see how well the product apply's to my lashes.

Natural lashes, one coat, two coats

As you can see it adds so much length and volume to my lashes, I am so pleased with this mascara. It doesn't really show in camera but in real life it makes the green/yellow parts of my eye stand out so much more! This mascara lasts all day and doesn't smudge one bit, tropical violet is a very wearable shade so great for everyday use. I can't recommend this mascara enough and at the moment its only £5.99 (original price £8.99) so grab it for a bargain while you can!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush Review!

After hearing so many people rave about this brush I wanted to see what all the hype was about! After using this brush I can see why everyone loves it so much. This brush is like a traditional foundation brush mixed with a buffing brush, it apply's your foundation so beautifully and the best bit about this brush is that it doesn't soak up the foundation so you aren't wasting any. This brush gives you a really natural finish and I can imagine cause of it's shape it would be really good for contouring with cream bronzer. I'm so pleased with this brush and just like the other one am really glad I added it to my collection!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette Review!

(L-R) Foxy, Half baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout.

A couple of weeks ago it was my birthday and my best friend hannah brought me this palette, I think the expression on my face when I opened it showed how thankful I was! I have wanted one of the naked palettes for ages but never had the money and wasn't sure whether I wanted the first one or the second. As you can see from the swatches above the colours are really pigmented, there is a good mix of cool and warm tone colours in the palette which I love. There are 9 shimmery and 3 matte shades in the palette. I really the colour selection in this palette and for the money I think it's brilliant. If you don't have any of the palettes then I defitnley recommend you try one, I can't compare the first one as I don't have it but I can imagine the shades would be just as pigmented as this one! The palette also comes with a lipgloss and a brush which are okay products.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush Review

I recently just brought this brush and I am in love! Okay maybe that's a little too far but this brush is seriously amazing. I haven't tried using this brush for foundation yet so sorry if that's what you were looking for but what I have been using it for is blush. It apply's cream and powder blush so beautifully and seamlessly into the skin making it look so natural yet you can really build up the colour as well. This was well worth my money and I am so glad I got it! Samantha chapman is a lady on youtube under the name pixiwoo and she was the founder and creater of these brushes and boy does she know how to make a good brush!

Topshop Lipstick in Hazard Review

This is my all time favourite lipstick, it's by topshop and its in the colour 'Hazard'. The thing that I love about this lipstick is that it's a bit darker then most reds you find in boots but at the same time its still a true red. It has a matte finish so is a little drying but can be cured my applying some lip balm! It stays on for about 3-4 hours which isn't particularly great for a matte lipstick but I love the colour so much I don't mind reapplying! 

I know this photo isn't great but today just wasn't the day of taking photos, every single photo turned out awful! Hopefully though you can see the colour of the lipstick clearly enough! I'm also wearing this lipstick in my profile picture.

Lush lemony Flutter cuticle butter review

Today's product I am going to be talking about is Lemony Flutter by Lush. I showed this in a recent post but I thought I would go into more detail about It. It is a thick cream that can be used on the cuticles or any other dry part of the body. It smells straight up like lemons which I absolutely adore! I mainly use this product on my cuticles before bed and boy can I tell you It makes such a difference! My cuticles have become so much more hydrated and soft, I've also noticed that my nails have grown so much more since using this. I have had this product for about 4 months now and have used hardly any, you only need a tiny little bit! It comes in a nifty pot which is useful for travelling as it doesn't take up much room. I really love this product and if you're a fan of lemon I highly recommend you take a look at this!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Review

Yesterday I was in boots and used the machine thingy (good description!) to check if I had any special offers. I had a few useless ones but one of them was £2 of any lipstick or mascara. I had been wanting to get another balm stain from revlon for ages so thought this was the perfect time to get one, also I had enough boots points so I didn't even have to spend any money! Oh how I love boots. So I promise you this isn't a post on how much I love boots it is in fact about my new lipstick. If you read my other post on the other colour I have in 'Lovesick' then you will know how much I love it! I always want my lip products to stay on for a long time so these are perfect for me, there are so many things I love about these products I thought I would make a list!

1. I love the twisty up packaging, no need to use a sharpener!

2. I love how the packaging matches the colour that the stain is.

3. They go on really easily and are very moisturising!

4. They last a long time! Now as this is a lighter colour it doesn't last as long as say my Lovesick one but for a nude it does last a pretty good amount of time!

My only bad point about these products is that they smell strongly of mint, the scent does go away after about 5 minutes so it doesn't bother me but I know it will bother some people who don't like scents! 

Enough blabbering onto the swatches!

Now this lipstick was an absolute bugger to photograph, for some reason I just couldn't quite seem to get the colour across in a photo! The colour of this lipstick is pretty much exactly like the second photo, it is a pinky nude colour, perfect if your a neutral girl or are wearing dark colours on the eye. I will warn you though if you apply this heavily it does start to have a hint of mauve in it! Overall I am so glad I brought this lipstick and I am looking at getting some of the darker colours at a later date!

MUA Heaven & Earth eyeshadow palette review

Today I am going to be talking about an eyeshadow palette by MUA in 'Heaven and earth'. For the price of this product I think the quality is fantastic! For only £4 the eyeshadows are really pigmented and there are some gorgeous shades in the palette.

This palette contains 12 gorgeous neutral colours, perfect for creating many eye looks! The eyeshadows are soft to the touch and apply beautifully. If you liked brown's and neutral colours then I highly recommend you check this palette out!

rimmel apocalips: Apocalyptic review

Now these bad boys have been flying around the blogger world for a while now. A couple of weeks ago I picked one up when I noticed they were finally in my boots, I was in a fun mood so I picked up a bright colour!

I cannot say enough good things about this product, I will definitely be buying more! This lipgloss/lipstick/stain/thing (I'm not sure what to call it? haha) is amazing, it is highly pigmented and glides onto the lips easily. It lasts for a good 5 hours and thats with eating and drinking and doesn't dry out the lips which is a big bonus for me! I'm so happy I got this product and cannot wait to try more!

Thanks for reading!

Mac Lovelorn lipstick review & swatches!

This the first mac lipstick I have ever bought and I am so glad I did. I love mac for there simple yet classy packaging. This lipstick is in the shade 'Lovelorn' and it is a beautiful mid tone blue based pink, the first swatch above is one swipe and the second is the colour built up quite a bit. Although this shade is in a lustre finish it actually gives a pretty good colour pay off. The shade lasts about 2-3 hours on me and fades to a light pink, it's not the longest lasting lipstick but I love it so much I don't mind re-applying! I think this shade would suit most people and if you have been thinking about getting it I would highly recommend you do!
