Katy Perry Colour Pop Eyelashes

Once again the beautiful Katy Perry (I have no issues saying I love this woman! She is amazing) has created a stunning collection of false lashes with Eylure.

Eylure are the company I go to for beautiful lashes so seeing they collaborated with Katy I grabbed a pair or two from the original collection. This weekend I'm off to a costume party and wanted some subtle blue lashes. A light bulb went off in my brain and gave me a perfect excuse to buy the Ka-boom lashes. Then reading the information I saw that my greeny/ hazel eyes would look great with the other two pairs in the collection, so I grabbed them as well! There is a set of individual lashes in the range but I just don't have the patience for those.

In the range is:
Ka-boom - flashes of blue
Ka-Ching - flashes of green
Ka-pow - flashes of purple

They are beautifully feathery lashes with the cross over effect. They are nice and long but too in your face long. There not the full on double lash effect that some girls go for. The colouring on them also isn't in your face its very subtle the colours are blended nicely with black lashes of the same style.

I was a little worried that these wouldn't be the right lashes for everyday use. They are a little dramatic but I would wear these for everyday. They don't weight my eyes down or give you the look of having very small eyes.

Even on my eye colour the blue lashes look very nice I do prefer the purple lashes they look so nice on my eyes. Purple is a colour I wear on my eyes quite often.

You can grab these lashes at boots and Superdrug for £6,45. Little steep but very worth it!

Have you worn these? What are your favourite lashes? Let me know!

MUA Undress your skin Flawless primer.

Everyone's heard of primers and knows the benefits of using one. It's just finding a primer that's the right one for you.

My main issues are I have oily skin and large pores. So I need something to deal with both or at least hide my pores! Normally I use Benefits porefessional. I do like this but it's quite pricey on my little student budget.

So when I saw MUA had released their Undress your skin range and brought out a primer with a claim it fills in fine lines and pores and was only £5 I decided to investigate.

MUA Undress your skin Flawless skin primer - £5

The claim: reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores and leave your skin feeling velvety soft. Creates a flawless complexion that can be worn alone or under foundation.

The primer itself is silicone based and is a clear fairly thick gel like substance. It comes in a pump action bottle for a measured dose. One pump is enough to do your entire face. It does Spread and blend in really well. Leaving a beautifully soft base for your foundation. I use Revlon photo ready foundation and it goes on perfectly over the primer. There's no dragging or patching. My skin is still velvety soft once I've applied my make up as well as a few hours after applying. The product has no scent to it which I like! I hate scented products on my face.

The primer itself fills in my pores and keeps my foundation in place all day. I wasn't expecting miracle with this, I never get my hopes too high with pore perfecting primers but this one really took me by surprise. As it does what it claims. My make up stays put my pores stay filled in and I stay pretty matte throughout the day.

I've used this for almost a week (my local small Superdrug has a habit of releasing items early) and I love it. For £5 it's great. A new holy grail product for me!

Once again MUA have got it all right! Great product at a great price point.

I have seen they've brought out a foundation in this range. I'm still undecided on if I want to try it or not.

Have you tried this primer? Tried anything else ing he undress your skin rage? Let me know!

(Till March 12th online its only £3!)

You can pick this up at selected Superdrug stores and online Here!

Barry M textured nail effects polish

Today on a mission for costume bits (will explain all in a later post!) I decided to treat myself to a new nail polish and a few other bits (which I'll also be telling you about later!)

I grabbed a Barry M textured nail effect polish. This is their new nail effect polish. Which to me is a bit of a mixture of a concrete effect and a sand effect. They're quite gritty. I went for Ridley Road which is a gorgeous mint green.

Barry M Textured nail effect nail polish

The nail polish itself goes on nice And easy like their regular nail polishes but has tiny grains in which give a gritty texture to the nail. Their not scratchy or overly gritty they feel more rough. My nail edges feel as if they need a file. But not too annoying which is okay. I'm one of those people who cringes really easy when I run my nails along paper a certain way and today I've paid bills in the bank and handled things that I thought might catch on the edges but they've been fine.



I have removed one nail and redone as I was a bit worried I'd have to go through the same hell as removing glitters! Luckily this isn't the same and does remove very easy.

This range comes in four colours :a blue , yellow and a pink. I think I might pick up the pink for some pretty pale nails with an edge or for accent nail looks.

Once again Barry M strike with. Brilliant nail product that's different from what other brands are doing while still being easy and fun to use.

You can grab these at Superdrug stores for £3.99 and at boots stores from tomorrow! Or online Here!

Have you grabbed one yet? Let me know!

Mac Viva Glam Nicki 2

I know this product has been blogged about to death but I just couldn't let this product go by me without talking about.

I'm a huge Mac fan and a lover of Nicki Minaj. So when I saw the original press release for her Viva glam collaborations I was intrigued. The first one wasn't really for me I'm not into the pink colour of the first. Just wasn't a pink that I liked. But when I saw Viva Glam Nicki 2 in all its pastel lavender glory I fell in love.(Its a really similar colour to a Barry M lavender I'd purchased but broken and had to depot) So as soon as I realised it had been released and was in Reading I made a beeline for House of Fraser and grabbed it!

Mac describe this lippy as a pastel lavender pink lipstick with a satin finish. This is my main bug bear with this lipstick my personal preference of Mac lipsticks is the satin finish. So I was even more excited to get my hands on this one. But the box states it's an Amplified Creme, so I was a bit miffed with that but hey.

The colour is  beautiful. Its a perfect soft lavender with pink undertones. The colour pay off is great. I hate buying pastel colours only to find their very sheer or give you a horrible patchy finish when you try to build it up. This one has a great opaque finish, I have quite pigmented lips and this covers everything and blocks out my lip colour.

Like I mentioned earlier the finish is an Amplified Creme which is a glossy opaque long lasting lipstick finish. They have a thick formulation as well. I do like this finish theres a nice shine to your lips without the glossy feel. (personally I'm not a huge fan of lip gloss, not a product I buy alot of or wear a lot of)

This is fairly long lasting I wore it to a dinner party and with eating and drinking I did re-apply after 2-3 hours.

I have played around with this a fair few times its a lovely versatile lipstick. The formula means the colour can easily be changed with a coloured lip liner or mixed with a darker colour to create beautiful ombre effects. Rebel for example looks stunning when used with Viva Glam Nicki 2! As does Candy yum yum.


You can purchase Mac from selected House of Fraser and Debanhams stores as well as online Here!

Are you a viva glam fan? Did you grab one of these? Let me know!

Revlon Just Bitten kissable lip stain balm

I'm a lipstick maniac and have been debating whether or not to get one of Cliniques Chubby Sticks. So when I saw Superdrug had a sale on Revlons Just Bitten Kissable Lip balm stains I thought I'd give one or three a try before I commit to a Chubby Stick.

I couldnt choose just one colour to get so I grabbed three. I picked up Crush, Desire and Rendezvous.

Colour rundown:

Crush: A dark berry red
Desire: A pale lilac
Rendezvous; A coral more on the orange side.

Left to right: Crush, Desire and Rendezvour

The balm stains themselves come in a twist up pencil form with a pointed tip. There is a decent amount of product inside the plastic casing, and their nice and thick as well. They come in 7 various shades. From light pinks to rich deep berrys.

Left to right: Desire, Rendezvous and Crush

I love these there silky smooth lip colour and are incredibly hydrating. The colour pay off is great and for a balm stain they're pretty intense colour. The stain aspect to them is great as well even after the balm has worn off there's still colour on your lips.

Left to right: Desire, rendezvous and crush

 They do last a long time, I've worn these on nights out and they have only needed to reapplied once during the whole night (I touch up my make up pretty often when I go out) They also have minimal rubb off. Whenever I go out for drinks you can always tell what glass is mine because I always leave lipstick marks But using this I don't leave any.

This also smells lush! It smells of peppermint but not an over powering peppermint scent just a a slight scent. They also have a nice glossy finish. They're not greasy either which is great. Nothing worse than a horrid greasy lip balm.

I've also used crush underneath Mac's Diva. Which everyone knows diva is gorgeous but so drying, so using this did change the finish from a matte to more of a satin but it kept the lipsticks colour and didn't dry out my lips.

After the success of these I think I'm going to dive in a finally decide which colour Chubby Stick I want!!

You can pick one of these up from selected Boots and Superdrugs or online Here

Have you used one of these? Or the chubby stick? Let me know!

ELF HD Blush

When I saw ELF were launching a HD blusher I was really intrigued. ELF aren't a brand I've used before but I have looked at their products and read/heard plenty of good things about them. So when the email about these being on sale I decided to order one.

ELF HD Blush £3.75 ELF

They come in 5 colours and are all varied pinks and purple. I decided on superstar which is a bright peachy pink, and the second lightest shade in the collection. The blush comes in a bottle with a pump for a measured dose.

The blush is incredibly pigmented. I've used this a fair few times and when I say highly pigmented I'm not kidding. a whole pump is far too much to use on your cheeks. I use the tiniest blob and apply it with a stippling brush. A little really does go a long way. If your not careful you will end up looking like a bit clown like.

Like I said tiniest amount gives you a nice flush. You can also build the colour up if you do want a more intense look. The blush itself goes on really smooth and is blendable. It is a matte formula and dries to a powder. I love how non greasy it is. I find with some cheaper cream blushes they can be greasy on the skin or can leave a dewy finish, which I'm not keen on so this is great for me.  The colour lasts all day I normally wear for around 8 hours.

Blended out with flash

The swatch above was blended out with a MUA stippling brush. The above picture of the tiny amount dispensed is what I blended around my hand.

My one and only moan about this is the lid. It never stays on properly which is a nightmare to travel with as I always find the lid and the blush seperate. This is not a product I'd like to leak in my make up bag! It would casue a pretty big mess!

You can buy this blush online Here at a reasonable £3.75

Have you tried these blushes? What blushes do you use? Let me know!

Collection Cover and Go

I recently popped into my local Superdrug for a few essential purchases with the intentions of staying away from make up. Did I stay away? Did I hell!!

A new product from Collection caught my eyes. Cover and Go is Collections new foundation. With an added twist. When you pop open the cap your greeted with a concealer and a mirror. So 3 products in one bit of a bonus!

Okay the foundation first. I have light 2 which is the second lightest in the collection. They do have an ivory which for once was actually too light for skin, the light blended seamlessly into my skin. The foundation is a liquid foundation with medium buildable coverage. To me its fairly matte. It blends into the skin beautifully without looking too done or cakey.  It is a fairly thick foundation and a similar formula to a cream to powder but Collection have labeled it as a liquid. It is wearable and does last a whole days wear. I normally have my make up on for around 8 hours and its still there.

The concealer is a cream concealer with a full coverage. To me its similar to my Mac studio fix concealer. Its great at under eye dark circles and blemishes. The best part is both colours are complimentary so you don't get any tell tell concealer marks on your skin. The concealer is easy to blend and you don't need to spend too much time warming it up with your fingers before applying. It also apply's well with a brush.

Left to right foundation and concealer swatched.

This is a great product for nights away or for festival weekends when you want to wear make up but not have to carry too much around with you. Plus at £5.99 for 2 products not too damaging to you bank balance!

You can pick one of these up at your local Superdrug or Boots as well as plenty of local drugstores or you get one online here

Have you tried this? Whats your favorite multi purpose product? Let me know!
