Sleek Vintage Romance Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my beauties How are you all doing today :)  

I have to admit I was sorry to see Summer fly by and feeling the cold weather coming in.  The fact we had such an amazing Summer left it even harder for us to say goodbye but to be honest I loved the fact that Autumn was coming in because one of my favourite things about Autumn is the change up of makeup looks.  I love the Autumn shades The Neutrals, Oranges, Reds etc........ 

This is why the moment Sleek released their new palette & Blush I didnt waste any time in going online to Cloud10 Beauty and buying it.  You can also purchase this many other sites such as Sleek Makeup website where at the moment they are doing a 10% off 11.59pm tonight and also Beauty Emporium 

I knew just by seeing the shades in the palette on the website I would love it.  

As you all know at this stage I am a huge fan of Sleeks Eyeshadow Palette.  Golly I cant even tell you how many I have at the moment but I know its more than 5 or 6 or even 7 hahahaha 

If you missed any of my reviews about the palettes I own already click here to see the reviews I have done so far.  

The Packaging is the same as usually.  The perfect black palette with a perfect sized mirror and a double ended sponge applicator along with it.  The palette contains 12 eyeshadows which are 1.1g each all for €9.99 or £7.99 Absolutely amazing price for what you are getting :) 

Sleek Cosmetics has this palette well thought out honestly from the Name of the palette to the names of each shade to the shades it contains all relate to Romance :) ;) 
The shades as you can see are names after some of the worlds romantic places plus the shade created the most romantic looks you can to make your eyes look fantastic and irresistible.  
Oh ladies before I go on I am totally and madly in love with this palette every last shade is amazing Talking about shade let me show you a close up of these beauties :) 

Starting from the top left :) 

Pretty in Paris:   A soft buttery pigmented metallic silver.  The pigmentation of this shade is amazing.  A perfect inner corner highlight or lid colour.  This may give a little fallout but nothing too cray cray 

Meet in Madrid:   This is another amazingly pigmented metallic shade this time a light golden shade.  A perfect highlight or lid shade or a simple pop of colour shade.  

Court in Cannes:   Another Metallic shade this time in bronze I love this shade as I use it alot in the day time for a day time smokey eye.  It makes my hazel eyes pop.  Another very pigmented shade I love it 

Lust in L.A:   Another Bronze shade with a tint of green through it a stunning pigmented shade with a metallic finish 

Romance in Rome:   A deep Navy shade with blue shimmers and when worn gives the illusion of purple.  This I have to say was less pigmented than I thought especially with it been a darker shade I have tried this shade over a black base and it looks AMAZING for night time looks :) :) 

Propose in Prague:  The one and only matte shade of the palette a perfect blending shade.  This is a beautiful medium berry brown perfect pigment and very pigmented 

2nd row left to right :

A Vow in Venice:   I love this shade Its a beautiful cranberry shade with a slight metallic finish very pigment.  I did experience a little fall out with this shade but nothing too dramatic 

Marry in Monte Carlo:   oh I love love love this shade with its beautiful metallic finish this deeper cranberry shade has a purply hue to it also hugely pigmented and a fun colour to play with 

Honeymoon in Hollywood:   A Stunning berry shade that has a satin finish this shade contains silver particles than can be blended away.  I did find fall out with this shade again nothing too dramatic :) 

Bliss in Barcelona:   Love is in the air in ninas house with this shade boy oh boy this shade is AMAZING!!!!! an absolute Stunning shade of purple with a metallic finish my favourite out of the lot.  Very pigment very soft and creamy and a joy to work with :) 

Forever in Florence - A Deep Blackcurrant purple shade with silver particles this shade is BEAUTIFUL again the silver particle can be blended away and you get an almost matte finish to it.  Very pigment with a little fallout.  

Love in London - Of course a black as sleek never lets us down when it comes to adding black to their palettes.  This black is not matte.  It has silver particles in it but when blended is in between a satin and matte finish.  Hugely pigmented I love it :) 

The swatches above is taken in normal light with no primer underneath below the swatches are taken in direct sunlight again with no primer 

Overall this is one amazing palette to have in your collection not only can you create the most amazing day and night looks from this but you are getting 12 amazingly pigmented shades for Autumn and Winter.  For the price this is more than your moneys worth :) :) I love it :) :) 

Here is a look I tried out using this palette with the following shades:

With Catrice Made to stay highligher pen as a base

Court in Cannes all over the lid 

Honeymoon in Hollywood in the crease 

Propose in Prague for blending 

Romance in Rome & Love in London also in the outer V

Inglot 10 Pan Freedom Palette & Swatches

Hello my beautiful Readers How are you all today :) :) 

The weather here has taken a dramatic change once again pouring no bucketing rain all you have to do is look outside and you would get soaked !! ah well it could be worse (some how) 

Today I am going to show you another Freedom Palette I built up from Inglot.  I just cant resist this brand honestly from the time I got my First 5 pan freedom palette I have made a wishlist of eyeshadows that could go on forever.  These shadows are absolutely amazing and I do plan to get them all Really I do !!! :) :) Eventually of course :) 

Today I have ten more shades to share with you all and hopefully I will help you add more to your wishlist hahaha 

These shades I chose carefully.  I wanted to go with shades that are suitable for my shading of eyes and also can be wearable for both day and night.  I also wanted to go with shades that would compliment each other.  

First let me begin by talking about these wonderful palettes.  They are the most secure sturdy palettes I own.  I feel so safe in bringing these palette in my bag for travelling and trust that my eyeshadows are going to be intact when I open them.  The lid is held my 4 magnets that are on each corner of the palette and let me tell you it needs a good tug before it comes off.  The palette is available to buy empty and then you can choose whatever shadows you want to place in it.  The eyeshadows come individually wrapped.  

The 5 Pan palette with 5 Shadows costs:  €38

The 10 Pan Palette with 10 Shadows costs:  €68 

 What I love most of all is the size of these shadows They are amazingly big for the price and half the price of a Mac eyeshadow which in my eyes are the perfect if not better dupe of Mac.  

One piece of advice before you even enter the Inglot store is to google as many shades of eyeshadows as you can to have an idea what you would like because let me tell you, you are going to be overwhelmed with the amount of shades you can choose from the store.  

The one thing I will have to say is a pity that these amazing shades are not named and only numbered so if you have a list make sure you have the number correct.  

So without further ado let me show you the shades I chose: 

AMC Shine 30:  This shade is absolutely beautiful and the perfect highlight shade.  Its also perfect for a lid shade too.  This beautiful shimmery goldy champagne shade will certain go a long way if you are choosing a more neutral palette I love this shade :) :) 

AMC Shine 11:  Another amazing shade and perfect for a neutral palette.  This shade is also perfect for Autumn looks.  A Beautiful Shiny shimmery gold simple but fantastic as a lid or highlight shade.  I have also used this as a highlight on my face in the summer :) :) Love it.  

Matte 341:  This shade a a perfect blending shade it can also be used as a transition shade or even all over the lid.  Because its matte you can use it for everything really even a subtle highlight shade.  Its a beautiful pinky peach shade light but very pigmented :) 

Pearl 446:  Well it wouldnt be a palette of mine if there wasnt a shade of purple in it now would it.  Purple been my utmost favourite colour and a perfect shade to make my hazel eyes pop.  I just could resist this shade.  A stunning Plum shade with a pearl finish a perfect lid colour for a dark purple smokey eye I have worn this numerous times out in the town and it really makes a statement.  Beautiful just beautiful !!!

Matte 321:  Now years ago i would have ran away from any blue shade.  I always believed because I have hazel eyes that blues would clash with my eyes and they have in the past but only because I never used them properly.  This is a stunning deep matte navy shade that worked well as a crease shade and for using on the outter V this is also perfect to use as a liner :) I have learned that some blues really can suit me once I get the hang of using them in the right places :) 

Next row is also amazingly stunning Starting with 

Matte 356:  This is another beautifully pigmented Pink shade.  A perfect shade for blending, highlight and lid.  I cant believe the pigmentation from this colour a little goes a long way and its extremely easy to blend :) 

Pearl 452:  From the moment I set my eyes on this shade I had to have it.  Its a stunning burgundy shade with a pearl finish and its extremely pigmented.  Its feels very smooth and very easy to apply.  A little goes a long long way with this shade and its a perfect Autumn colour.  What I love more about this shade is that it really brings out the green in my hazel eyes I love it !!!

Pearl 421:  Another of my favourites I have to say.  This is a stunning coppery brown with a pearl finish again hugely pigmented and very easy to work with.  I found no fall out using this shade and it applies like a dream.  Love it !!!

Matte 335:  Another shade for the Autumn time :)  This shade again I would not normally go for as its a type of shade some people find hard to work with.  A beautiful rusty matte orange and boy oh boy its stunning when applied.  So far I have used this shade as a transition colour and I love it.  Very pigmented and very easy to blend Gorgeous shade 

Matte 391:  A matte black plain and simple :)  The shade is far from plain let me tell you.  This is not the blackest of black for instance if you are one who likes black as soot black this is not the one to get as its verying towards charcoal black but its the perfect black for daytime smokey eyes and every night time I also love to set my liner with this shadow I love it and the fact that its matte and black makes no difference to its performance as its so easy to work with :) :) 

To buy these eyeshadows separately they are only €6 each for approximately 2.7g of product which is absolutely amazing for the quality that they are.  Even without a primer they last all day long but with a primer the intensity and lasting powder is out of this world.  

Overall as you can tell I love these eyeshadows and and the palettes.  They are ideal for everyone even makeup artists plus they have the quality of high end brands but not the prices of high end.  

I am determined to get whats on my wishlist which so far is over 30 more shadows hehehe :) 

Have you tried Inglots Eyeshadows yet ?

Until Next Time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Empties #2

Hello My Beauties How are you all today?

I decided to do another Empties Post, alot of you liked the last one I did so I have been stashing my empties especially for you :) :) 

Let me tell you its great to finally throw them into the bin lol

I love these sort of posts and videos because you surely get a full insight to how the blogger/youtubers got on with the products and see if they would repurchase them again :) 

So without further ado I shall start on mine :) 

Starting from the left 

Lancomes Softening Hydrating Toner:  I got 2 very decent sampled sized bottle of this product from the Lancome Event I went to.  I was super excited to try this out partly because Its not often I get the chance to try something from a high end brand like Lancome plus I wanted to see just why it costs so much.  To be honest I don't see why this product costs as much as it Smells good, Refreshes the skin like it claims and also is alcohol free I felt it didnt do anything different to what a drugstore toner did for me.  Dont get me wrong I loved using it but to be honest I would not go out there and pay around €30 for a toner not on your nelly :) :) 

Elemis Softly Softly Daily Moisturiser:  I got this in one of my glossyboxes and was super excited to try it out.  If I am not mistaking this Full Sized costs about £20 to buy which again is high end in my eyes.  I have also heard that "Freshskin" range by Elemis is for teens and twenty year old's .  I didnt find any fault with this product it did hydrate my skin well and I found I used very little to cover my face and neck.  This sample lasted me for quite some time.  The scent from this moisturiser is mild and smells a little like almonds I actually liked it alot.  Would I go out and buy it again hmmmm no to be honest It didnt do anything different to what some drugstore moisturisers did to my face and for £20 per bottle I was expecting a little more from it 

St Ives Daily Microdermabrasion:  I absolutely love love love this product its one of my favourite daily defoliators out there.  I mean this is amazing it smells amazing it feels amazing and the out come is amazing my skin feels smooth and soft and ready for the day :)  You can purchase this from boots and costs as little as €6.69 for 125ml I will surely be giving this a separate review soon :) :) Love it 

Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 makeup-remover:  (still a favourite ) This is a favourite of mine for sure and for a long time.  Its so so affordable in fact it only sets me back about 3 to 4 euro.  This contains 2 layers the top layer (blue) is the eye makeup remover the bottom layer is suppose to be for the face.  It contains no perfume or alcohol.  The reason I love this so much is that its absolutely amazing to take of my eye makeup literally one swipe and bam gone.  I find If i use the blue layer before shaking it for the rest of my face the blue layer is more effective for the most stubborn waterproof mascaras and liners.  The only fault........ its feels quite oily and I dont particularly like oily products on my face.  The fact it does such a great job, its affordable and its brilliant even for anyone with sensitive skin I can tolerate a little oiliness.  

Nivea Refreshing Toner:   This has to be the most affordable toner I have tried and loved.  This feels amazing against the skin and I find no stingy feeling while using it.  Its that gentle on the skin I have even used this around the eye area and found it had no effect on me.  I feel refreshed and I find it works great taking whatever dirt and grime thats left on my face.  It smells amazing too :) :) I will certainly be repurchasing :) 

Docteur Renaud Raspberry Soft Cream Review:  I received this moisturiser in my glossybox (in which I do not get anymore)  I think this was a limited edition moisturiser For 50mls of moisturiser this would set you back a whopping £25 which is quite steep to be honest especially for just an everyday moisturiser.  Yes it smells amazing and feels really nice against the skin leaving you hydrated for the day but with that price I was expecting more even spf or something I was certainly not going to go out of my way to repurchase.  If it was cheaper I would but I think the price is a bit much 

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes:  I know alot of people are against face wipes but to be honest in my opinion if you find the right facial wipes you are doing no harm to your skin I have been using them for years.  These wipes were recommended to me because I was going through a little bit of a rough time with my face and using my normal face wipes were irritating it more so I gave these a try and loved them.  They are ideal for anyone with sensitive skin and did not feel one bit scratchy which I love.  There is no oils, no alcohol, no perfume and no colouring in these but what is in them is  Pro-Votamin B5 which actively restores, softens and smoothes.  They are even gentle on the eyes.  I will be repurchasing these again for sure :) 

Lush Vanilla See-Lite Body Lotion:  Oh dont even get me started on this little beauty.  Ladies if you are a vanilla scent fan or even if you are not you will love this body lotion.  Oh my goodness I got this sample sized (as big as it is) in one of their boxes and loved it from day one so much so I went back and bought the full sized bottle.  This smells out of this world even when I apply this all over people can smell the vanilla all the way downstairs.  Plus the scent lingers literally all day long on me.  My skin feels smooth and soft and leaves a beautiful healthy glow on there too.  I loved this all over the summer as it made my tan look amazing.  I highly recommend this to everyone you will love it :) 

Cocoa Brown 1 hour tan:  I absolutely love this tan Check out my blog post on it to see what difference this makes.  I love how natural it makes me look and lasts up to 5 days without having to worry about patches etc.  Its amazing and for under €8 its well worth it.  Marissa Carter has done an amazing job with this product for sure and she has lots more to try out too I cant wait to try her Moisturiser which is coming out very very soon.  Plus Marissa made an announcement that Cocoa Brown will be available to purchase on all Aer Lingus flights from Dec 1st!  Happy days :) 

Batiste Dry Shampoo For Brunettes:  Wow I love this product.  It has been my saviour in more ways than one.  Been a busy mum and blogger its sometimes hard to get the time to wash my hair everyday.  To be honest I wash my hair only 3 times a week because my hair lasts that long before looking in any way greasy but some days I do find I need a little pick me up so I spray a little of this in and it livens up my hair more than it does if i washed it.  Honestly the volume that I get from this is amazing and my hair looks amazing plus it smells booti-ful :) I love it 

Elizabeth Ardens 5th Avenue Perfume:  This has been a favourite for many years.  I have been through many bottles of this beautiful perfume and I really hope it never goes off market.  I like to wear this scent in the winter time I dont know why but I always seem to reach for it more around that time.  The perfume has a floral scent with a spicy edge to it but its not over powering.  I think it will always be one of my favourites once you buy a bottle of it and finish it, you will find you will buy another :) 

2 of my favourite foundations ever !!!!
NYX HD Studio Photogenic Foundation:  I have a review done about this foundation already which you can check out here but this foundation is amazing full stop I find it brilliant for coverage for lasting powder for photos for everything.  It gives medium coverage and feels very lightweight.  My skin looks flawless and you use very little to cover the entire face.  The only fault I find is you have to purchase it online which means finding your perfect match can be hard but if you check out as many reviews as you can you will surely end up finding your match just make sure you do not go by the shades the website gives you as it will be wrong.  Love it !!!!!!

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation:  Do you know what?? The beauty blogger that I am im only realising I have never done a blog post on this tut tut tut shame on me If you would like me to review this let me know :)  This is another long time favourite of mine.  Sineady Cady from themakechair and Lisa Eldridge are also fans of this foundation.  Seeing as I am around NC20-25 I find number 52 a perfect match for me.  The formula is very light and takes very little effort to apply.  I like to use a stippling brush like my Favourite foundation brush the Blank Canvas Cosmetics F20 Brush.  The finish is light to medium coverage and leaves my skin looking flawless.  I just love how natural it makes my skin look without giving away the fact I am wearing a foundation I love it !!!!!  The one thing I will have to say is that I would love if they would bring out more shades as there is only 5 shades to choose from but this is a perfect foundation for anyone with pale skin 

Mally Volumising Mascara:  I have to say I fell into the you-tube hype on this mascara.  After hearing Itsjudystime and Emily Noels raving reviews about this I just had to see what the hype was about.  I did a full review on this mascara in which you can check out here .  I loved it but to be honest I found it dried out too quick And paying £17.50 per mascara is way too much for it to dry out after 2 months. 

MUA Extreme Volume Mascara:  I have already reviewed this mascara and included photos of course but I just have to say for a £2 mascara this works pretty darn well !!! I was well impressed with the formula, with its performance and most of all with the wand.  For a super affordable product this is definitely worth a try.  I have even bought back ups of this I love it :) 

Maxfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara:  There was one day I was reading through Fluff & Flipperies blog and Emma had a post up about Maxfactors Mascara's and the fact that they are 20 years old I thought that was amazing.  I was curious to find out what the formula was like especially what it was like 20 years ago.  So I searched online to see if I could get my hands on it.  I finally found it on Fragrance Direct for £4.50.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this.  The formula is not too wet, its jet black and also easy to apply what i love is the brush its curved and grabs every lash.  The finish result is nice full curled lashes.  It wouldnt be the type of lashes for night time but its certainly a during the day mascara :) 

Avon SuperShock Mascara:  I absolutely love love love this mascara.  This has always been a favourite of mine for as long as I can remember.  Its amazing the brush is brilliant it grabs every lash, the formula is amazing its not too wet or dry its just right.  The finish is what you call perfect I have fuller longer lashes and it lasts until i take it off.  Its just such a pity Ireland do not have Avon anymore I miss it so so much :( 

Before i begin my apologies for this been so grubby but i suppose thats what happens with brow gels with clear packaging :(
e.l.f Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Mascara:  I have loved this product since I first tried it 2 years ago.  For a £1.50 products this holds my brows into place literally all day long.  I love it.  You have one side for brows and one side for lashes.  I use both sides for my brows to make the product last longer :) :) I highly recommend you all to try it out if you havent already :) 

Mac Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering:  I won this in a competition.  I have to admit I used it every single day I used it.  It was the perfect shade for my brows and the finish was as natural as you could get it.  I never had to set it and it lasted all day long without smudging one little bit.  I nearly cried when I ran out of this as I loved it that much but to be honest I cant bring myself to repurchase because of the price of it and the fact you only get 0.09gs of product for it.  There are plenty of dupes for this brow pencil out there that is a fraction of the price.  

Wow Finally I am finished haha I hope I didnt bore you with this extra long post :)  Is there anything in this bunch that is your favourites or that isnt?  Let me know what are your thoughts on these :) 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm Review including New Flavour Blueberry Acai

Hello My beauties How are you all today.  

Ever since these little beauties where available to buy I have been hooked on them.  I actually can not believe that it has taken me this long to review them but better late than never eh.  Plus its not news that these little beauties are around because they have been part of the beauty industry for quite some time and there are plenty of reviews out there about them.  You can be guaranteed that you will surely see some beauty guru's favourites posts or videos stating one of these are their favourites.  Plus Huge stars like Kim Kardashian and One Direction for example are always snapped using them.  

Well I thought seeing as I have just stocked up on more I should put in a little post of what I think of them :) 

I have already went through one of these and have one in my bag for a while now actually I first tried these about a year ago now so I can give you a good insight into what I think of them.  

For those of you who haven't heard about this lip balm.  EOS stands for Evolution Of Smooth.  EOS is designed to give you complete moisture to your lips plus give you protection and soothing from the added vitamin C in each balm.  EOS lip balms are 95% Organic and 100% Natural with ingredients such as Jojoba oil which is designed to give you long lasting hydration and Shea Butter which is designed to moisturise and soften the lips.  The added bonus of these balms is the sphere shape they have an easy grip and also have some amazing colours for each balm.  On the bottom of each balm is a flat areas in which you can place the balm on your dress the right way up.  Imagine having all 7 flavours lined up on your dresser all different colours that would be so cute and cool :) :) #

As mentioned above I have already tried 2 flavours of these which was Lemon Drop (yellow).  This one smells of lemon and its the only on with SPF 15 in it and Summer Fruits (red) which smells of fruit cocktail.  I am still using Summer Fruits and love it :)  

Now I have added 3 more to my collection 

Sweet Mint with is the turquoise one definitely smells of mint and feels very refreshing on the lips 

Strawberry Sorbet which is the pink one oh yummy yummy yummy it smells good enough to eat truly it does 

and lastly Blueberry Acai which is the blue one and also a new edition this one surely smells like blueberries and is good enough to eat :) 

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this product I love the packaging its so ideal as it keeps the balm hygienic   Not only that when the kiddies get a hold of it and mistake it as a ball like mine do it doesn't break as it smash proof :) :) 

I have found myself reaching for these quite alot lately with the cold weather coming in and the fact they keep my lips moist for a long time leaves me not worrying about my lips getting chapped and sore.  I love to use this to prep my lips for lipstick also as it puts a barrier around my lips especially for lipsticks that leaves a stain :) :)  They leave a nice semi matte finish to your lips which make them look healthy and kissable.  

The best thing about it is its super cheap and affordable and worth every cent for less than €7 from Beauty Emporium they last an extremely long time :) :)  Did I mention they smell great :) :)  I will surely be building up my EOS collection and getting some for my kiddies for school for the winter :) 

Have you tried these yet? 

What's your favour flavour? 

Until Next Time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer

Hey my beauties How are you all doing today :) :) 

Todays review is on the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer 

Eyeshadow Primers We are always on the look out for great eyeshadow primer that perform they way they should and also is easy on the pocket.   I have to admit I have tried a few budget friendly primers and 2 high end primers and use them all the time.  My current favourite budget friendly eyeshadow primer is by e.l.f Cosmetics (not the mineral line but the essential line) and my favourite high end one is the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer.  Realistic Urban Decay is very pricey and its hard to part with so much money for it alot of the time and e.l.f is and online store in which not everybody can get.  So I wanted to try out a primer that is easier to get and is available to almost everyone.  So I opted for Rimmel for my first try out :)  

Rimmel London Undercover Shadow Primer is our first primer base that will reinvent your eye shadow! The lightweight silicone formula preps and smoothes lids.18-hour wear, crease-proof, smudge proof guarantee!

I purchased this from boots.ie and it cost €6.49 for 6mls of product not a bad price at all :) 
The primer comes in a tube with a doe foot application for easy application.  I love the packaging as its eye catching and funky :)  
First of all the primer comes out white instead of skintone colour like all the primers i have tried.  To be honest i like to use skin coloured primers because I have a little darkness on the lids and it helps conceal aswell as prime.  But putting that aside the White primer from this primer is light and blends out into nothing.  Automatically I noticed that i could see the darkness of my lids through this so unless I conceal my lids before hand this does nothing for me.  

The consistency is thin and blends out very very well.   It feels smooth on the skin and certainly preps your eyes for your eyeshadow.  The one thing I have to say is that if you have any allergies to silicone you need to test this first before applying onto your eyes. 

My experience with this primer has been 50/50.  This is just from my experience I found this primer disappointing in a way.  What i look for from a primer is a) making my eyeshadows last all day and b) intensifying my eyeshadows.  I found this primer did neither to be honest.  It most certainly does not intensity eyeshadows but it does allow chalky eyeshadows to cause less fall out.  If you suffer with oily lids you will not find this primer any good as I found it made my eyeshadows fade alot.  I even tried this primer under my Naked Palette shadows and my Lorac Palette shadows and and it too faded them.  I do find this good on lids that are less oily as I for sure tested that out on somebody else and they did report back that their eyeshadows lasted all day long.  
Overall this primer is good for people who have no discolouration on the lids, non oily lids and just need something to make your eye shadows last all day.  Especially teens or anyone in their early 20's.   For anyone else I think this would disappoint.  
So thats my review for today I hope you found this helpful and if you have tried this before let me know what you think 
Until next time
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MUA New Matte Lipsticks

Hello Everyone  :) 

How are you all today :) 

Well todays review is on the the New MUA Matte Lipsticks.  I couldnt resist as I do love Matte Lipsticks.  

I am very cautious when it comes to buying matte lipsticks because I have had experience with some brands that they are just way too drying or that they are hard to apply or that they look patchy on the lips I just hate that.  I have found a brand so far that is affordable and that do amazing Matte Lipsticks but there is always a want to try other brands for comparison both in price and in quality.  

MUA Matte lipsticks are only £1 each which is a super super bargain and a price not to be beaten in my eyes.  

MUA has also changed the packaging a little on their matte lipsticks.  Their normal range you will find that their lipsticks are a black tube whereas this range (the matte range) has a white tube which is always nice to have a little change.  Plus its easier to pick out amongst the massive collection of lipsticks we girlies already own (yes you and me and all the beauty addicts out their lol). 

There are 5 shades in total 
There is:  Wild Berry which is a deep blackcurrant shade 
Scarlet Siren which is a a bright red 
Pouty Pink which is a bright pink and then there is the 2 I decided to go with which are Peachy Keen and Totally Nude 

Peachy Keen is a Peachy coraly shade with pink undertones If you have pigmented lips this will look more on the pinker side than peach.  I found this shade quite sheer but buildable and very very pretty for an everyday wear lipstick 
Totally Nude:  Don't judge the lipstick buy the tube honestly this is not as pale as it looks so all you pale girlies don't be scared because this will not wash you out.  There is a slight tint of pink in this nude lipstick which is probably why this doesn't wash you out.  Again this is sheer but buildable 

I have to admit I might have had alot more expectations for these lipstick than I admit as I presumed the fact that they are matte, they were going to be booming with pigmentation.  I hate to admit it now but I was wrong.  I think I picked the sheerest shades out of the 5 as they are the lightest shades but I did expect more pigmentation from them than what I got.  
My first impressions where not at all great either because when i first applied these to my lips they felt and looked greasy.  They also looked patchy which disappointed me.  
Then I tried the lipsticks after ex foliating my lips and apply a bit a lip balm and they applied alot better plus looked better on the lips :)  
I also found them non drying while wearing them which is always a bonus when it comes to matte lipstick they last pretty well too.  

For a £1 lipstick these perform pretty well for a matte lipstick.  I think If you are not into deep matte shades or if you are trying to introduce yourself to matte lipsticks they are perfect for you.  Me?  They will not replace my favourite matte lippies but they are a not a no no for me either after all they are super affordable and handy to have for an everyday lipstick :) 
Have you tried these yet?
Until next time

GOOD THINGS SKINCARE REVIEW

Hello My Gorgeous Beautiful Readers How are you all today :) :) 

Well now that its coming into the colder harder weather I have noticed my skin has changed alot as im sure alot of you out there have too.  Let me tell you something I was never one to suffer with acne on my face, even as a teen I had very little amount on my face but more on my back and chest for some reason.  I have recently noticed that my skin has become more acne prone and more oily on the T-zone which is very very strange.  They do say that your skin can change when you get older but to be honest in the past month I have been suffering with breakouts alot around my mouth and chin area.  Its so annoying especially when you are not used to it and my 25 year old sister is suffering the very same thing.  So I thought it was time to change from my normal skincare products which was always Nivea,  I still love but change could be the answer to my problems.  When Beauty Emporium announced they were bringing in a new brand onto their website full of skincare products (which they stated was going to be super affordable) I waited anxiously for them to come in so I could try it out :)   Finally I got my Email I was waiting for :) :) 

Let me tell you a little about the Brand before I go onto the review :)  

Good Things Skin care was created by Alice Hart-Davis a British Journalist and an Author of 2 teen beauty books.  She is a great believer in taking good care of your skin from a very young age and has developed Good Things based on her beliefs.  According to her philosophy her products are aimed at young skin to get them used to looking after their skin without the harshness of harmful chemicals and also to help with their problematic skin as they go through their teen years.  To be honest I think these products are for anyone who suffers with the same type of skin complaints as a teen, be it oily skin,  acne prone and of course sensitivity.  
For more information behind this brand click here to take you straight to Good Things Website :)   I have to mention the packaging isnt it sooooo girly bright and cheerful :) :) 

Good Things Fresh Start Creamy Cleanser 

I wanted to find something I could used twice a day morning and night to take away all the bad stuff off my face as I mentioned above i have been suffering with an extremely oily t-zone which I am not used to and I feel grubby on my bad days as you do especially when we wear makeup on top of that so I opted for the Fresh start Creamy Cleanser which only cost €6.69 from Beauty Emporium.  You are getting 150mls of product for that price which is super cheap :) 

With active ingredients such as Grape Seed oil which is there to remove any unwanted dirt and makeup from your face without stripping all your natural oils with it 

Cactus Stem which is an antioxidant

Mango Seed oil which helps moisturise the skin and is also full of vitamins, the list goes on and on, I know that this little bundle is going to be gentle on my skin (after all I am going to be using it twice a day) and also help cleanse my face without been harsh on it. 

 Let me tell you it has been a pleasure using this product everyday.  I simply apply all over my face and neck leave it for a minute and use my cloth steeping in medium to hot water and rub it off.  The results were very surprising.  I instantly felt cleansed and fresh and to be honest not even feeling the need to use a toner afterward thats how clean my face felt.  The scent of this product is amazing and good enough to eat and most of all my face did not feel tight after using it.  I have even put this to the test on removing a full face of makeup.  It was like the product completely melted the makeup off my face.  I love this product and its become a new love of mine for sure.  

Good Things Skincare Face the Day Moisturiser 

Next up is the Face the Day Moisturiser with SPF 15.  This costs €10.69 for 100mls of product which again is a brilliant price for what you are getting.  I had just run out of my day time moisturiser so it was perfect timing to try this one out :) 

What impressed me was again the ingredients :) 

Goji Berry is a tonic for your skin as they both calm the skin with an anti-inflammatory action, and help energise it.  There is also Mango Seed Oil, papaya and cactus stem along with other natural ingredients I love it. 
The scent of this moisturiser is amazing.  Its sweet but not overpowering and lingers there almost half of the day.  I have even been complimented on how good my face smells after a few hugs here and there :) :) 
What I love about this moisturiser is that its not too thick or thin its just right and you only need a small amount to moisturise your face and neck.  
When you apply this first you have about a few seconds to blend into your face and then you will notice the feeling of stickiness before it soaks in completely.  I love that you dont have to wait too long before it dries in completely especially in the mornings when you are in a hurry and need to apply your makeup ASAP.    My face feels smooth and soft and moisturised all day long. It also leaves a nice semi dewy finish to my face which leave my face looking fresh and ready for the day especially on my no makeup days. 
 I will surely be buying this again :) 

Good Things Skincare Deep Pore Anti Blemish Lotion

As I mentioned above I have been suffering with breakouts alot lately and I have found using toners can sometime irritate my blemishes more due to some ingredients in them especially if there is alcohol in it.  

I am also too used to using a toner so I thought I would give this a try to see will it be easier on my skin when I do suffer with break outs.  

For 200 mls you are paying €6.69 which again is very very affordable.  I was super excited to try this again because of what Good Things claim that This 2-in-1 cleanser and toner helps to unclog pores and remove excess sebum without stripping your skin of natural oils. It will take your make-up off too, and in addition to fig and wild strawberry, it has willow bark and licorice extract which help keep bacteria at bay.

This not only is a cleanser and toner but it also is suppose to fight against those horrible nasties that pop up on you face

Well let me tell you this is really really good at removing any makeup that is left behind after washing your face.  Even using this the next morning you will still notice dirt coming off your face yuk.  I did also notice it stung a little around my blemishes which is a sure sign it is doing something to heal them 

After using this I noticed after 3 days my blemishes seemed to have calmed down alot :) 

Another good thing I noticed after using this is I didnt feel my skin was dried out and tightened like some toners can do which is amazing actually after using this one night I got distracted by one of my kiddies before applying my moisturiser and it only dawned on me the next morn I forgot to apply my moisturiser !!!!! Now normally after I use some toners I never forget because I always get that tight dry feeling and I automatically have to apply moisturiser to feel some relief 

I really like the scent from it too it smells really fruity.  

I have even used this around my eye area and it had not effect on my eyes whatsoever I love it :) 

Out of all three products I have tried so far the Cleanser is my favourite at the moment I am amazed at how good it is removing makeup and unnoticeable dirty from my face aswell as the fresh feeling I get after I use it I highly recommend it for sure.  

I will surely be trying out more products from this brand and I will be purchasing this for my tween daughter who is now suffering from breakouts and oily skin 

You can purchase this range from Good Things website, Beauty Emporium and even Boots and Boots stores 

I hope you found this review helpful 

Until next time
