Collection Little Mix Eyeshadow Palette

I picked these up the other day and to be honest, I cannot see why other bloggers have been raving about this palette. 

At around £3 for the six shadows, beauty bloggers have been saying that for the price it is pretty impressive. However, at first swatch these weren't that pigmented. 

The colour range is nice and I can see why you would want this palette in your collection (cute, purse-friendly etc.) but it's just not for me.

Collection palette available at Boots and Superdrug. 

Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadow in Bronze

These are *amazing*!

Max Factor have recently released these Excess Shimmer cream eyeshadows, which has a beautiful mousse-like texture. These are pigmented, creamy and very blendable.

"Excess shimmer" may put some people off, but the shimmer is very subtle and when on the eye the overall look is very sheeny. 

 I love these and cannot wait for other shades to be released, as I'm not too fond of the other pastel shades they offer. 

Bourjois Color Boost Lip Set - Picture Post

3 beautiful moisturising shades are perfect for Christmas and only £11 at ASOS. 

Light pigmentation and not very long lasting when eating and drinking, but would well as a lipgloss over a stain. 

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette - Cuir Carnage

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this palette...


My Feel Unique order finally came through, what with my £10 off my £50 order I bagged this beauty (along with a Wahl hair dryer but that's not important at the moment).

The palette itself comes in a velvet case - super classy! However, this does mean that as soon as you place your fingers on the packaging smudges evolve all over it in a matter of seconds.

It comes with two mini dual-ended brushes (but no-one ever uses those) and 5 eyeshadows, varying from mattes to shimmers.

The colours are gorgeous, buttery and smooth. I love the detail on the shadow too.

Overall, an amazing and totally worth-it splurge and definitely will be considering getting another one. On a side note, Burberry eyeshadow palettes are also very pretty, but I'll try and have some self control...for a little while at least!

£42 at Boots/Feel Unique.

Barry M Lipliners

So I ventured into Superdrug the other day, in search for some affordable lip liners. After some research I found that the best lip liners that aren't from the likes of MAC are from brands such as Rimmel, Barry M and Avon. 

Currently, I am using the Rimmel Exaggerate lip liners and so far so good, except that I find that I cannot get enough definition when I line my lips, as they are angled and very soft.

So for more precision I opted to try the Barry M lipliners. Firstly, the shade range is pretty good, especially considering that I found a berry-purple colour immediately (I've been desperately needing this all Autumn!). 

The are quite hard but do blend quite well if you use them sideways along your lips and then outlining using the tip. 

Overall, these are a great, cheap buy and i'd definitely recommend them!

Latest in Beauty BBB Box 2

Such a cool range of minis to try! Everything from shampoo, to eyebrow pencils to pink mascara! 

Unfortunately I missed the first box, but I was so happy when I got the notification that the second box was available for purchase.

You can find the contents online pretty much anywhere (and there's so much to write, not gonna lie) but you can pretty much see what the contents is from the photo. So i'll cut to the chase:

My favourite? The Invisibobbles - amazing hair bands that don't crinkle your hair, however, they do stretch out after multiple uses. 
Least Favourite? Ciate Lash Lights - pink mascara -when could I ever pull that off?!

Possibly the best beauty box I've ever had, and definitely worth the money. Check it out next time at Latest In Beauty.

Laura Mercier Caviar Eyeshadow Sticks

These were given to me as a birthday present from my friends back home (love you guys!). These are super pigmented mini eyeshadow crayons from Laura Mercier. Firstly, I love the colours: nudes and mixture of matte and shimmer. They are creamy and blendable but do wear away without a decent primer.

Overall, very cute handbag favourites and retail at £38 for 6 crayons at John Lewis and SpaceNK.

Lush Cleanse and Tone haul

I am excited to try these. Firstly, the ultrabland cleanser, which has amazing reviews. When I tried it on my palm in the shop it was a lot heavier than my other option, the 9 to 5 cleansing lotion, which is a lot lighter in texture. The ultrabland cleanser therefore, for me, was the ideal deep, hot-cloth, cleanser and I have a sample that I am currently enjoying!
The Eau Roma Water toner is perfect for removing both of these, especially as I have dry and sensitive skin at the moment.
Along with the Celestial moisturiser, these will be ideal for the coming Winter months.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette

 "I would love to see a blush palette from Hourglass though! Those really do look lovely x" 

Totally called it!

And I just love it! 

I actually prefer this palette to the ambient lighting palette, as these have a subtle highlight built into the blushes - 2 in 1 blush n highlight win!

Each one is beautiful and I'd recommend anyone purchasing this. I actually got £5-10 off this at SpaceNK with an offer back in early November, but it retails at £56.
