What's On My Nails? | Week 12

Hello!

What's on my nails?

This week I have the Makeup Revolution Nail Polish in Heaven's Above on every finger. In the bottle this looks like a berry/purple shade but when this is applied to the nails it's more of a red/berry colour, either way still very pretty.

Then on my accent nail, I have the Rimmel London Precious Stones Nail Polish in 001 Diamond Dust.

Benefit Ultra Plush Lipgloss - Lollibop Review

Hello everyone!

Today I have a review for you on the Ultra Plush lipglosses from Benefit, I believe these are £14 for one so they are rather pricey just for a lip gloss but with the high price comes such great quality.

These lip glosses aren't sticky they feel soft and cushion like, almost like you're not really wearing anything at all. Even though these may not be super sticky, they do last around 4 hours on me and they don't crumble or go tacky.

The colour pay of is subtle yet effective, this would be great for a makeup look with a heavier eye or if you simply wanted to go for a natural makeup look this would be perfect. The give just the right amount of colour to the lips without overdoing it.

Overall, I would like to purchase more from this range. The glosses are easy to apply, great for everyday wear, give a pop of colour without looking to much and feel hydrating like a lip balm but with the shine of a lip gloss.

Have you tried the Benefit Ultra Plush Lipglosses?

I'm Back!!

Hello everyone

As you may have noticed I've been a little quite on the blogging scene recently as I've been away in Cornwall for two weeks! I had a lovely time and it was good to take a break and relax for a while.

I will be back to blogging like usual form now on, I thought I would give you guys a little update into whats been happening in my life.

New buys from Max Factor

Hello Guys!

Today I have a bit of a mini haul/mini review for you of Max Factor goodies! I'm not normally a Max Factor girl put the pretty gold packaging and the amazing shade range really caught my eye so I went and brought a few bits from them.

The first thing I wanted to pick up that's been rather popular recently is the Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in the shade 15 Seductive Pink. I was a bit dubious about this product to begin with and didn't really think it would give me that wow factor but oh my! I was so so so very wrong! Since the first day I got this blush I have been wearing it non stop. The reason why? the colour is a beautiful shade of pink and this blends like a dream, like really I hardly have to buff this into my skin to make it mesh with the rest of my makeup.

I've been really into pink/nude lip gloss at the moment so when I saw this lip gloss in the shade 10 Pristine Nude I just knew I would love it. The formula is just right, not too sticky but it doesn't feel to slippery where it would come off within a 2 hours of wear for a lip gloss it last a good 4 hours and then I need to reapply.

I have lots of eye shadow pallets in my collection and the eye shadow sticks that I do own aren't great at all (they are from MUA, I did a blog post about that a few months ago). So I decided to try one from Max Factor, I picked up the Wild Shadow Pencil 2-in-1 Shadow + Liner  in the shade 05 this is a brown/taupe colour with some small flecks of glitter running through. This is great for early mornings, its so fast to apply and blends so easily.

I'm really enjoying Max Factor at the moment, tell me in the comments section below what are your favorite products from Max Factor?

Until next time!

Superdrug Hual!!!

Hello guys ive just popped into my local super drug and thought I would share with you the goodies I got. In this Superdrug Hual its pretty much all what you would concider to be base products.

Make up Revolution:

The One Blush Stick in Matte Malibu

Radiance Radiant Lights Pallet

Cover & Conceal Pallet in the shade Light

I love Make up Revolution their products are very affordable for the amazing quality you get.

NYC New York Colour:

All Day Long Foundation

Back before this blog started this was one of the first foundations I tried and I can remember really enjoying this. It feels so light on the skin but really makes your skin look so smooth (as the name would suggest) and baby soft. I've been on the hunt for this foundation for a long time and it's finally back in my life, yaaay!

Revlon:

Colour Stay Foundation Combination/ Oily Skin in the shade 111 Ivory

I've heard so many people talk about this foundation and I have been looking for a matte foundation with good coverage so I thought this would be up my street. I'm excited to see how I get on with this.

Lastly, the new Zoella beauty line has launched which I am soooo sooo happy about and I picked up the cosmetics purse. I thought this would be the perfect size to fit all my makeup essentials in for my holiday. I really want to try the body scrub from the range too!

That's everything in today's hual, I hope you enjoyed until next time!

Essence Silky Touch Blush Review | 90 Summer Dreaming

Hello sweeties!

I've been on such a blush hunt at the moment and wanted to find a blush shade that was subtle enough for everyday wear or for a natural makeup look. Now I'm now sure if this is with all of Essences Silky Touch Blushes or this particular shaded (90 Summer Dreaming) but this in my opinion is in between a pink and a coral shade. Making this perfect for everyday wear as these are overly pigmented, it just gives a subtle hint of colour to my cheeks.

To touch the blush they to feel very silky and not chalky or rough at all, so it is true to its name! This colour has very fine glitters in to so when this is applied to the cheeks it doesn't look flat like a matte shade but it isn't a replacement for your highlighter either. It just gives your skin this awakened glow.

Essence Soo Glow! Review

Hello Guys!

Today I have a review for you of the Essence So Glow! This is a cream to powder highlight that I have been using a lot lately to achieve a subtle soft glow. The colour is a silver/champagne colour which creates a great deal of luminosity to the skin. 

I find that a little goes a long way with this product, only a small dab of this product and you're good to go! or good to glow!
