Benefit Fake Up.

I love Benefit face products. I am obsessed with Boi-ing so when ever they bring out another concealer I have to grab one and have a try out.  As ever with Benefit the packaging is adorable! Has a gorgeous vintage feel to it. The product itself comes in a lipstick form so this is great for travel and storage. Also means applying the product is even easier. You can just pop it on and blend with a finger. Pretty fuss free! I picked up Fake up a little while ago and have been using it a fair amount since getting it. It isn't...

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I'm a lover of a beauty blender sponge! I've tried a lot of them recently. Some brilliant and some not so good. So as soon as I set my eyes on the Real Techniques take on the staple sponge I grabbed it!! As with every sponge I tried this wet. It swelled to over double its original size. But a good squeeze and a squeeze in a towel tales out all the excess but still leaves it just damp enough to not soak up all your product. This sponge has a pointed end, round back and a flat side. So this really makes it a multi purpose...

MUA poptastic palette

I love eye shadow palettes and playing with many looks you can achieve with them. I have been playing with MUA's poptastic palette lately. The poptastic is a collection of 12  bright colours. A mixture of shimmers and mattes. There is a great mix of colours in this palette perfect for a variety of looks. Mine is now a bit battered where I've used it a fair amount wet and dry. In usual MUA style the shades are pigmented and beautifully creamy. Normally I find that matte purple shades are awful to work with but the...

Nails of The Week

This week I have been loving Sinful Colors! Boots have started to stock the Sinful Colors range so last time I was there I picked up a few. I have been solidly wearing Nirvana which is a gorgeous taupe colour. With L'Oreal nail confetti as an accent nail. The only down side to Nirvana is they've said its a matte finish and its more of a glossy finish. But nothing a matte top coat can't fix! Have you tried sinful colors? Let me know! xoxo - Lizzy...

Riri Woo Mac

I'm a lip sick junkie and a sucker for a good celebrity collaboration so obviously I had to purchase Riri Woo. I know everyones read about it and seen about it but I had to tell you all about it! I got it as a present to myself for completing my dissertation and it's beautiful! Riri Woo is based on the classic Ruby Woo but is darker and more of a blue based lipstick. I have found that Riri Woo isn't as drying as Ruby Woo. Its also more versatile and suits more skin tones. For me its the perfect red and looks so glam when its...
