MAC Lipstick Review

I know that many people have or tried the MAC lipstick range but i haven't and for that little percent that haven't either here is a little review for you for the two that i have bought recently. I got them when i went to New York in the MAC store and i loved it in there! There is nothing like that in the UK and i am very jealous that you have little studio sections where you can see what the make-up looks like on yourself!

Anyway, i purchased Fabby & Amorous. They both are gorgeous shades that i adore, so here is what i think of them:)

Satin - Amorous

I have got many of these plum shades in my lipstick box but none of them come close to the feel and look of this one. I am in love with this shade, as it is a satin finish it isn't completely matte but it's not overly shiny. It's the perfect mix! The satin feel is gorgeous, it's so soft when applied. This lipstick stays on for a decent amount of time when you don't eat a lot. There's only one problem, when you start to eat something it begins to fade and you get that horrible line of lipstick colour and then your lip colour. But, i am defiantly glad i purchased this as it's lovely to apply and the colour is just to die for!

Frost - Fabby

The second colour i bought was this nude, shimmery shade called Fabby. The name isn't too nice but this colour is the best! I wear it much more than amorous because i love it that much:) The simple nude colour is gorgeous as it's sublte but the shimmer really catches the light. I am not sure what effect the frost has but i think that it's glittery but again it feels like silk when applied. As it's a lighter shade i can't feel or see it rubbing off which is good. This colour will go with so many looks and it can be worn all wear round!

The price of these in dollars is $16 (i think) & in pounds it's £15.50

Recommend? YES (definitely!) / NO

I hope you have enjoyed this beauty review as i thought it was something different as i have blogging about my life lately.

Small Beauty Hall

I went shopping yesterday to get a couple of  bits and i managed to pop into Boots to have a look at some make-up, so i got some new bits! I had a voucher from there for Christmas so it was more exciting:) Recently i have been loving Bourjois' make-up range and i am becoming quite a fan. Here are the couple of things that i picked up from Boots.

Bourjois Blush - 33 Golden Lilac

It's  very important to me to know what is in the make-up that i wear, so i make sure there are no parabens in it. I was very happy to know that this gorgeous blush doesn't have them in that will harm my skin:) I have always wanted one of these pot blushers and i have heard good reviews on the Bourjois ones. I got the shade golden lilac which is a lovely rich shimmery pink colour. There is also a small curved brush as well which comes with it that's very cute!

Bourjois Smokey Eyes Trio Eye Shadow Palette - 05 Rose Vinatge

I am very addicted to eyeshadows at the moment so i keep wanting to build my collection. I love the rose and purple shades in shadows and this trio just caught my eye! The shades are so shimmery and beautiful. I just can't wait to try it out:)

Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick - 04 Rose Tweed

There is quite a 'rose' link between all of things i have got! Anyway, i have really wanted to get a rose/nude colour lipstick and then i found this one! It's quite creamy and shiny. I just love how this lipstick applies. Only one drawback is that there isn't a lot of lipstick in the packaging (if that makes any sense). The tube doesn't twist far enough so that may mean that i will have to restock a lot quicker. The colour is beautiful and i can't wait to wear this on out:)

There's all of the products i got! Hope you enjoyed this post:)

January Wishlist

Hopefully i am going to do this monthly but lets see how it goes:) These are the bits and bobs that i would like to save for or wish that i had this month. Enjoy:)

Topshop

Matte Metallic Nails in Never Been Kissed - £6

This nail colour looks gorgeous and the matte effect just sounds better.  It just looks so nice! I have never tried any of the Topshop beauty range, so i don't know if it's good quality but if it's from Topshop then i suppose it will be.

BRODY Faux Fur Collar Boots - £42

I have wanted these boots for ages because they are so nice and look to wintery! The colour and the fur really compliment each other. I just really really want them!!! They could go with practically anything because of the style. Topshop have these boots in all black as well. 

Long Sleeve Ruffle Skater Dress - £100

 

When i saw this dress on their website, i instantly fell in love. It's just so beautiful. I love the way it hangs and the style on the top. The different patterns on which the fabric is turned is subtle but gorgeous:) The only bad thing about this dress is the price tag, it's a little bit out of my price range! It may stay on my wishlist for a very long time!

Crystal Embellished Bodycon Dress - £85

 

I love everything about this dress. I am kind of a killer for sparkle and glitter so this was an absolute must for my wishlist. Again, the price is quite a lot as it may stay on my wishlist, haha:) But this dress is just divine especially for a night out or occasion.

Missguided

SLOGAN VANILLA LATTE T SHIRT WHITE - £12

Everyday is a vanilla latte day for me! This t'shirt is very relatable, especially for me:), so it has to be on my wishlist, haha. 

ROSE PRINT A LINE MINI SKIRT BLACK - £20

I am very addicted to skirts and dresses at the moment, so this skirt really caught my eye. I love the pattern, colours and style of it:) The roses are gorgeous and i would love to have this in my collection.

ASHLIE KNITTED JUMPER DRESS CHARCOAL - £25

I love jumper dresses and this one really caught my eye. The pattern and the colour are just gorgeous. There are know words to describe how stunning this outfit is, ha! It's just beautiful. I just adore everything about this dress:)

There are a few of my wishlist favourites from Topshop & Missguided. Hope you have a nice rest of your day:)

2014 Beauty Favourites

I know this is a bit late but hey ho:) Here are my beauty favourites of 2014! Sorry in advance for some products that might not be cleanest but it shows that I use them a lot right? Anyway here are my beauty favourites of last year:)

Tropic Smoothing Cleanser & Skin Revive

These are my two favourite moisturizers and cleansers. They work on my skin by not making it oily but smooth. If you haven't heard of the brand Tropic before, it's a pure natural make-up and skin company that Lord Sugar has invested in. I love the brand myself however it's not that cheap but works a treat:)

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

 I was lucky enough to get the Naked 3 palette for Christmas and I have been using it A LOT. I just love it very much and even though it's quite expensive the colours in it are to die for! There is a mix of shimmers, mattes and metallics in the palette. There is a large mirror and 2 sided shadow brush which comes with it as well. Included are samples of eye shadow primers in the box, which help to prevent creasing.

Avon Super Shock Mascara

I only got this recently but I have used it loads! The mascara is so nice to use and keeps the volume throughout the day. It's not flaky or hard to remove which is good in a mascara:)

Elf Golden Bronzer

I got this when I went to America for my holidays and have used it practically everyday ever since (as you can see by the loss of powder in the middle). Its a lovely bronzer to use and contours your face and cheek bones without it being too dark. The only down side with this is that it may be too shimmery but who doesn't like a bit of shimmer now and then? 

 Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (N'52 - Vanilla)

This is my FAVOURITE foundation! I love it too pieces. It's dewy but not too oily like you have been playing in a pool of grease, eww. It's just a perfect foundation, it's not cakey or too thick and you don't really need concealer because it covers up spots and blemishes pretty well. I would 100% recommend this foundation:)

 Rimmel Stay Matte Primer 

Me and my Mum use this to keep our make-up on for the whole day and it really works. We both have completely different skin complextions as it being too oily or too dry but it works for both of us. It's a thick consistency as well which makes you think that it is going to keep your make-up on before even using it. The cream is very smooth as well and easy to rub in.

 Lip Balms

Lately I have been getting really sore lips (probably becuase of my braces) but these 3 lip products have been helping to keep my lips nice and smooth:)

EOS Strawberry

I got this on my holidays because I heard so many good reviews about it. It's smells nice and isn't too creamy on your lips but does help to keep your lips smooth:)

Tropic Lip Love

The orangeness may be deceiving to how much love I have for this product! It isn't orange on your lips! The smell of this is GORGEOUS,  it's kind of an orangey lemon scent . It just smells so nice! I would say that this is the best product for solving sore lips as it works after a couple of days.

Barry M Cor' Balmy (Shade- Adam&Eve)

Again, this lip balm smells lovely and works well. There is a 'moisturizing core' in the middle that adds to the softness and keeping your lips feeling nice and smooth. You can get many other shades in this, I picked the light pink so it doesn't really show the colour.

Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter (Shade- 25 Peach Parfait)

This is a different option to a lip balm as it includes a lipstick with a balm. It's quite creamy as the name of the product is lip butter but it's very nourishing as well. The colour that I chose is very pretty and has a hint of sparkle.

 Rimmel Kate Moss Mascara

I do like this mascara as it gives volume and keeps it up throughout the day. However it can be a little flaky or clumpy sometimes and can be a little hard to get off. But the volume and is great.

Elf Baked Blush

If you want a light shimmery blush that gives you a nice highlight, then this is the blush for you:) It's pale in colour but has a gorgeous shimmer and sparkle that really brightens up your cheeks. It's very subtle but sweet:)

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner

This is the best liquid eyeliner that I have owned and most used. I use liquid eyeliner often and this is the affordable pen eyeliner in my opinion. It's very easy to use and best if you are just starting using it. It has a very thin end to the pen so it's easy to be precise with your wing.

NYC Indivdual Eyes

I love this palette for so many purposes, like the primer, highlighter and the pretty eye shadow colours. It's such a good versatile palette and very good for a starter bunch if eye shadows. 

I use this product everyday and I love it. There are a range of colours to choose for your eye brows. The shadow is very pigmented and lovely to use and apply. The creamy thing next to the shadow is a highlighter for your brow bone. I don't really use this often but when I have it's a little shiny and shimmery. 

 Barry M Nail Paints (from left to right- 357 Ballerina, 310 Mushroom, Vanilla & 337 Pink Silver Glitter)

These are a couple of my favourite nail varnishes of the Barry M range. They are very good quality for a good price. There are so many different range of colours and styles, too many to choose!  

Avon Stardust

I got this for Christmas and it's so nice to apply. The brush is nice to use and it dries quickly:) The glitter stays on well and doesn't flake off or chip. The bottle is gorgeous as well, it's such a cool design!

Thank you for reading:)

Daisy Dream ~ Marc Jacobs (30ml)

I hope you all have had a great Christmas and got to spend time with your loved ones. I have a little review for you today.

For Christmas I got Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. This perfume is now defiantly one of my favourites. The fragrant is sweet, i'm just in love with this perfume!! The boxing and packaging is gorgeous, not forgetting how lovely the bottle is for the perfume itself:) I wear this everyday now and the liquid doesn't seem to be going down too quickly which is great. I really hope I don't run out of this because its one of the best perfumes I have got!

I defiantly recommend this perfume as its a great present or a nice gift to treat yourself! This is not a sponsored blog post and I give all of my honest opinions:)

More review posts will be coming soon, so watch this space! Hope you guys have a nice new year:)

Review - Avon Nailwear Pro+

As I haven't done a review for a while, I thought I should show you some Avon nail varnish.  I don't use Avon that often but I had an order the other day and got this and another nail polish for free (when you spend over a certain amount). So I thought I should tell you guys the facts☺️

I applied the nail polish a couple of days ago and the application is very smooth. I did have to put 2 coats of it onto my nails though, however I realised today that it could of used a 3rd, as it went a little patchy in some places, but this may only be on the lighter colours.

The shade is a purple-pink colour and looks so pretty especially in this season. The shade is called 'orchid splash'.

It's a little bright which makes it noticeable. I have had quite a lot of compliments on the colour because it's so beautiful! 

Over the past day or so I have only had around one mark where the nail varnish has chipped away. This isn't bad for good quality nail polish. 

Overall, I do like the nail polish and colour. I do want to try out some different colours to see if they need so many coats, but other than that Avon do some good quality nail polish! 

Recommend? Yes☺️

If there are any other products that you would like me to review then leave your suggestions in the comments and I will try and get hold of the products!

New Find // Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer & Highlighter.

I am sitting here, just came back from school, in front of the computer, eating grapes and cocktail sausages, ready to write another blog post!

Here is another new find and I am quite glad that I found this. It's the Rimmel Match Perfection (2-in-1) concealer and highlighter. I got this in shade 010 (ivory). Its a great concealer, especially for under your eyes. You don't really notice the highlighter but is an added extra to the product. I got the concealer a shade lighter than my skin tone because I wanted it to brighten up my eyes and make me look more awake. This product ticks most of the boxes for me and with the foundation it really works a treat.

Again, I got this product from a homeware store because it was cheaper but you can buy it from your normal make-up store (Boots, Superdrug).

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer & Highlighter- £5.99 (Boots)
