Famous X First Date Blush in Angelina & Scarlett

Hello everybody how are you all doing today :) 
Well the sun is shining and the kiddies is outside and I had a very productive day taking lots and lots of photos of products for future reviews :)  I love having them days :) 
So I am in a super dooper form and ready for my next review which is on the First Date Blushes by Famous X.  If you are a regular to my blog you will know Famous X if not check out my other reviews to get familiar with it :) 
If there is one thing I love about Famous Cosmetics Products its the packaging..... Just look at this packaging isnt it to die for :)  Like for the price I can safely say that in person the packaging makes it look like you have paid 3 time more than what you have paid. 
I was so so excited to try these as they were only £4.99 for a whopping 7.5g of product.  
It is a little hard to detect the exact shade on the site but I ended up picking the 2 shades that appealed to me more 
Just look at the size of the mirror you get with these :) who need compact mirrors when you have these babies :) 
When you get the blushes they are covered in a removable plastic covering which is great for hygiene but once you take that off that it no cover which i dont mind.
Let me go ahead and show the shades :) 
First we have:
Angelina:  This is my favourite out of the two.  Oh boy is this one pigmented lol the first time i tried this i dipped my brush a little too hard and i ended up looking like a clown :)  So a little bit of advice for you all please use with caution hahahaha.  This is a very very pretty Deep rosey pink shade and nice warm toned blush that gives a fantastic pop of colour to ones cheeks.  Not only that but its matte :) :) I believe this will suit every skin tone because it is quite build able but for anyone who has fair skin PLEASE USE A LIGHT HAND :)  I do find you need to work a little bit more than normal blush to blend this but its oh so worth it I promise 
Scarlett:  This is a lovely dusty rose shade.  I have to say this is more on the chalky side you will have a little more fall out with this that Angelina even though this is easier to work with as in blending that Angelina.  This is hugely pigment again use with caution.  This is the perfect blush for winter especially.  Again this shade is matte but it tends to leave you with a beautiful glow.  
I do like this shade but i find that it can make a mess while your using it because of its chalkiness 
The above picture is of both blended out as you can see you can apply as lightly as you can and build them up to the intensity of the first swatch picture and even stronger. 
So let me lay it down to you the good and the bad 

The good 
Affordable
Amazing packaging 
Amazing amount of product 
Super pigmented 
Beautiful shades 
6 - 8 hours lasting power 

The bad
Scarlett is very chalky 
Angelina needs a little more work blending out but nothing to complain about
I am wearing a little Angelina on the cheeks in this photo 
Over all I am pleased with what I got for my money.  I have to admit I have very little patience for Scarlett as it makes too much of a mess and I feel I am loosing more product than I am using so I will not be repurchasing that one but Angelina is a stunning shade not as chalky and looks amazing.  I will purchase another shade to try out soon so I will add the swatches here when I do 
For £4.99 you cant go wrong and these blushes will last forever (well ok not forever but for a very very very long time) 
Have you tried any of these blushes 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

Famous X Spotlight Lipgloss in Bombshell & Babe

Hello my wonderful readers How are you all doing today :) 
I have another Famous X Review for you today :) 
This is not the first lip product from Famous X I have reviewed I have also tried and tested their Lip Addict Lipsticks  in which I like 
So I opted for they Spotlight Lipglosses to see what they were like :) 
I decided on 2 shades that would be perfect for the coming Spring/Summer season after all the brighter the better but looking out the window (sigh) in fact what i see in front of me is a blizzardy snow fall its not even flakes of snow its light the light fluffy beads you will see in a beaded play ball or something like that.  Ok i am verging away from what I should be talking about lol sorry everyone I am so like that though I just love to talk !!!!
There is 6 shades of these lip glosses to choose from.  They cost £4.99 each for 8mls of product which is quite alot I have to say.  They are available in selected Superdrug stores or you can buy direct from their site.
The packaging is cute and simple.  It remind me so much of the e.l.f Glossy glosses and the MUA Intense Kisses gloss where packaging is concerned only this gloss is half a size bigger.  
No only that but this lipgloss comes with a mirror on the side of the packaging which is quite handy if you want to top up are not near a mirror and forgot your compact.  Not ONLY That but it also comes with an extremely bright light when you open the lip gloss up to apply.  This light would be handy to apply your gloss if you esb went out or your stranded in the middle of no where in your broken down car and the AA man which could be good looking is on his way lol 
To me the light is just an additional thing that really doesnt excite me a whole lot but might to others :) Well my 11 year old daughter thinks its the best thing every when I bought her a couple of these glosses along with my own :) 
Whats more important to me is the glosses performance and of course the applicator.  
The applicator is a doe foot applicator which i love the most as it makes applying the gloss so easy even without a mirror.  
 So let me go ahead and talk about the glosses themselves :)
The shades I got I am very pleased with as I said above these shades are perfect for the Spring and Summer months.
Bombshell:  Is a beautiful dolly pink with tiny silver shimmers which dont really appear to be noticable on the lips.  This is sheer but buildable.  
Babe:  This is a nice orange nude shade it too has tiny silver shimmers in it.  This too is very sheer and adds a little bit or a tanned orange
The Consistency of these glosses is quite nice.  They are not thick nor too thin.  They are not sticky or gloopy they just feel like a balm like texture.  They do have a little scent to them a very faint vanilla scent you will notice it disappearing as soon as you apply it.  I found the lasting power a little disappointing to be honest.  I had to reapply about 1-2 hours later which is a little annoying on those dry lip days.  I like to apply these over lipsticks or when I use a lip pencils for a little extra boost and they work brilliantly for that purpose :) 
So if you are looking for a gloss that will give a little shine, a little tint, will not feel sticky and will do for an everyday wear lip gloss these are for you.  
I dont regret buying these glosses at all they are both beautiful shades that will do for my no lipstick days and for the days I just want something on my lips 
Have you tried these yet? 
What do you think of the shades :) 
Until Next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 




Disclaimer:  These glosses were purchased out of my own money 
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

Famous X The Big Cat Eye Palette

Hello my lovelies :) 
How are you all doing today :) :) 
Today I bring you a review on the Famous X Big Cat Eye Palette I purchased about 2 months ago.  
There are technically four types of ‘big cat’ in the wild. (Buy an eye shadow kit, get a biology lesson, good eh?) Anyway the relevance of this is that there are four different colour families inside this 16 shade palette from greens and blues to neutral browns and purples. We’ve also included two shades of black to finish each look – generous! 

Depending on your mood, there are loads of different looks you can rock with this palette. Why not try Jazz all over the lid and Hypnotize through the crease? Finish with Pinky in the inner corner and you’re ready to go party ‘til the sun comes up. You’re sexy and don’t Famous know it! Get ready to pounce in your wild habitat - grrrrrr!
Ok I have to admit I instantly fell in love with this little bundle of joy the moment I set my eyes on it on the site :) 
You have to admit Its the cutest thing since sliced bread isnt it :) 
When I purchased this palette It was half price as there was a half price sale on at the time but at full price it costs £8.99 
If you have never heard of Famous X before Click here and click here to see my previous reviews and you will soon be educated about it :) Put it this way its another amazing affordable brand ;) 
I absolutely love love love the packaging and anyone who is a leopard print gal will love it too just look at it isn't it funky.  So what you see in front of you is the prettiest leopard print makeup case with a zipper and inside you are getting (drumroll please)
Is a fabulous 16 shade eye-shadow palette :) along with that is a nice sized mirror and two applicators what I love about this case is that you know your eye-shadows are going to be safe and snug and if it gets a bang or two you have no fear of your eye-shadows been broken.  Its also handy for your handbag and you would be well proud to whip this little beauty out in front of your friends to get a little ohhhhh awwwwww reaction as they will think its a purse them when you open it up and they see its makeup well all the questions will be thrown at you lol 
I love how the palette also has this plastic flap over it for hygiene and protection.  On the plastic flap as you see you have the names of each eyeshadow :) :) I love names on my eyeshadows :) 
These eye-shadows are a nice sized eye-shadow which will last you a long time.  You are getting a nice mixture of shades which would be well suitable for everyone.  You are getting greens, blues, browns and purples.  You are getting some matte shades, some shimmery shade,  some shades with glitter chunks and satin shades :) 
All the eye-shadows are actually quite good.  The mattes of course are not as pigmented as the shimmery ones as you can see yourself.  I also have my favourites for instance 
Hypnotised which is a stunning shimmery black 
Peachy is a great blending shade 
Autumn is an absolute an amazing burgundy brown shade 
Cherub oh boy is this pigmented its a stunning bronzy brown 
Love Potion a lovely shimmery chocolate brown and 
Emerald City a stunning blackened green 
Some of the shades are a little on the chalky side and you will experience fall out with them but they are the most pigmented ones and blend brilliantly 
The mattes are harder to blend and will need a little more time but they work well and look great when you take the time to play with them 
With a good primer these eye-shadows last all day 
Do i think this palette is worth buying?  Of course it is especially for the price and this would make a great gift for teens and young adults :) 
Anyone who travels alot would love this palette too 
Have you tried this yet :) 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
