Illamasqua Underworld Lipstick

Around my birthday at the beginning of this month Myself and my boyfriend took a trip to London to catch the Last ever Alexisonfire show in the UK (Sad times) But while I was there I couldn't help but indulge myself in a little birthday retail therapy. So wandering around the Carnaby Street area I saw Illamasqua and had to go in! I have a lip stick obsession and Underworld just jumped out at me, I had to have it! The packaging these come in is beautiful and sleek. I love the slightly squashed square shape of it, fits so nicely...

Natural Collections concealer

I had that awful moment when you go to use a piece of make up but discover its unusable. I went to use my liquid concealer only to find that it had dried out and was pretty gross. So I had to go on the hunt for a new one! (My old one has since been discontinued) While browsing in Boots I came across Natural Collection, I have used one of their blushes before and did like it so I thought I'd give this a try out and at £1.99 was quite a steal. I chose fair which is the lightest colour they have. The packaging is nice and simple....

MUA Gel liners.

I'm a huge gel liner fan and an equally big fan of MUA, So when my local superdrug finally got their gel liners in I had to grab 2. They do these in 4 colours but I hardly wear brown liner eventhough i have been meaning to and blue just doesn't work on me. So I grabbed Fairground and Underground which are black and gunmetal coloured. left to right Underground and fair ground. I love these, they're highly pigmented and the formula is perfect for creating defined lines around your eyes. The formula is more creamy than other gel liners,...

Rimmel Match Perfection foundation

Foundation the starting point of all make up looks. I, myself love a choice each morning. I'm also loving how foundations are now getting better shade ranges and you can find a much closer match to your skin tone. So when I saw the advert for Rimmels new Match Perfection foundation I was a little skeptical I'm not the biggest fan of Rimmel foundations. My sister has the wake me up foundation and it just didn't do anything for me. So when I saw a sample sheet with a few shades in I thought I'd have a look see what I think after all the...

17 Miracle Matte Primer

I'm always on a quest to keep my skin pretty shine free. No matter what complexion product in if it has a promise of a matte finish I grab it! So obviously my eyes were drawn to 17's Miracle Matte Primer. With a promise of 22 hours shine free how could I resist! So I grabbed one. At only £4.99 for 15ml would be rude not to! The product comes in a squeezy bottle quite like an ointment bottle. A really small pointy applicator. Its easy to dispense. The primer itself is a thick white cream. Once blended in it does go translucent....

MUA Make up brushes

Im a massive fan of MUA and was so excited when I saw they were planning some make up brushes. So as soon as they released them I had to grab a few. I was a little wary make up brushes from £1.50 they had to be too good to be true. So just to try them out to see quality and how well they apply. They are all synthetic and cruelty free, which is right up my street. The thought of animal hair brushes freaks me out a bit so I just don't buy them I chose F6 which is a an angled blusher and contouring brush, E1 which is a base shadow...

MAC Lightscapade

I love high lighting my face and making features pop. I've always had difficulty finding a nice one I don't really get on with liquid ones. I've always been intrigued by this MAC's lightscapade but they discontinued it and trying to find one was a nightmare not to mention prices were sky high! Every one wanted to get their hands on this. So when I discovered it had gone back on sale I was so excited and just had to have it! I was brought this for my birthday. Boyfriend got it right again! I love this! Its lovely and almost ivory...

Weekend wants

Here are the pretty things I'm lusting over this week. I know its a little late. But here goes! 1 - MAC Fleshpot - I'm a recent convert to MAC lipsticks and I'm always trying to find a nude lippy that is the perfect shade for me.

Real Techniques powder brush

I have a love affair with real techniques brushes. So when I opened my birthday presents and saw the powder brush in there I was incredibly happy! The powder brush is a nice big fluffy domed shape brush. The bristles are made of taklon and are so soft its unreal. The bristles are dense and pick up the perfect amount of powder. Powder is evenly distributed over your face. I find with this I don't go too heavy with the powder, so I don't get that horrible powdery look that makes it obvious you're wearing make up. The...

Mac snob

I love lipsticks and have a vast collection. I can't resist a pretty one! So when I opened my birthday presents from my boyfriend I was incredibly happy to see Snob by MAC. I have obviously taught him incredibly well as he has my taste in make up pretty much down to a tee! Snob is a satin finish which is a semi matte finish. I love the formula. Its not drying on my lips and is pretty matte once its on. It lasts for ages. Also the rub off isn't too bad I wore this to a wedding reception and yes you could tell my glass by the lipstick...

Too faced Galaxy Glam

Sometimes Im a little snobby and quite often in TK Maxx I ignore the beauty area because there's never anything that catches my eyes and the brands aren't ones I'll use. Recently TK Maxx has had an explosion of great beauty brands available. I've seen a lot of Urban Decay, Too Faced, NYX and Nails Inc in my local store. Last time I was in there I grabbed a Too Faced Galaxy Glam eye shadow. I didn't really look at this in the store, it was one of those impulse buys. As the shade was called moon beam and there's a little running joke in...

This is Sleeks Primer Palette. Its a 12 shade palette with cream shadows in. They are meant to be used as a base for layering powder shadows on top. You can use them on their own, I do, Just to create a nice wash of colour on your lids. For those days when you want a little eye make up on and some colour but not too much. They also blend...
