Review: MUA Heaven and Earth Palette

Hey,

Today I am going to be reviewing this eyeshadow palette from MUA: Heaven and Earth.

 

MUA Heaven and Earth - £4 here

 

 

 

 

The palette contains a good selection of natural shades including coppers, champagnes and browns. All of the colours have a slight shimmer to them and there are one or two with slightly bigger glitter pieces in them.

 

All of the eyeshadows are so pigmented and the palette is only £4!

 

They last really well and the only thing I can fault about the palette is that it doesn't have a mirror, but what can you expect for £4?!

 

I'm so impressed with this palette and I hope to get some other MUA palettes including the Matte one and the Undressed palettes.

 

Do you have any amazing palettes? If so, what are they?

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama

Hello,

How is everybody? I've finally broken up from school for Christmas so I should be able to finally do some more posts. Today I am going to be doing a review of the Maybelline Brow Drama brow mascara, which I got as an early Christmas present from one of my friends :)

 

 

Maybelline Brow Drama - £4.99 here

 

Personally, I don't ever really heavily fill in my eyebrows as I don't think I need to, mainly because my hair isn't darker than my eyebrows however I do lightly fill them in with a pencil that is the same colour (Maybelline Master Shape in Soft Brown). That is until I received this brow mascara.

 

I have it in the colour dark blonde, which I believe is the lightest colour and it's perfect! It matches my eyebrows exactly and I love the look it gives.

 

If you are the type of person that fully fills in your eyebrows with a powder or pencil then this probably isn't the thing for you but if you like your eyebrows to look natural then this is what you need! It gives my eyebrows a nice shape and slightly fills them in without making them look like blocks of colour.

 

Another thing which I love about this is that it stays in all day and keeps the shape of my eyebrows, so it sort of works as a wax and colour without the hassle.

 

One small downside is that, like most mascaras, when you pull the brush out a clump can form on the end which will transfer into your eyebrows if not wiped off.

 

This product is also very reasonably priced for only £4.99 you get 12ml of product!

 

Overall, this product has become my new eyebrow staple and I will continue to use it for a long time, and you should definitely invest in it.

Current Beauty Favourites

Hello :)

 

Today I'm going to be sharing with you my current beauty favourites, as I've been loving quite a few new things lately :)

 

 

 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Ivory

 

I've been using this foundation quite a lot lately, its good coverage, about medium I'd say and it has a lovely finish. I ordered this off of fragrance direct which is why this is a different bottle to the ones in Boots/ Superdrug but I'm not really sure if the actual foundation is different or not :/

 

 

Seventeen Phwoarr Paint in Fair

 

I'm really impressed with this concealer, I have inherited really bad dark circles so I'm constantly on the hunt for a good concealer which doesn't look really cakey and I definitely think I've found a gem in this one. If you don't have very dark circles I don't think this concealer would really be necessary for you but I have really been loving this and I will definitely re-purchase this many times!

 

 

L'Oreal Le Touche Magique Concealer in Natural Beige

 

Because I'm so conscious about my dark circles, I like to put an illuminating concealer over the top of the seventeen one and I've recently been using this one from L'Oreal because I really like the look it gives, it adds coverage and brightens my eyes without looking cakey at all.

 

 

 

 

Bourjois UNE Skin Glow Pencil

 

Sticking with brightening the eyes, I've recently been putting this nude pencil into my waterline to brighten and open my eyes. I got this off of Fragrance Direct, I'm not exactly sure if it's meant to be a concealer pencil or what its meant to be but its quite soft and perfect for using in the waterline.

 

 

 

MUA Blush Perfection Cream Blush in Blossom

 

I've really liked using this cream blusher from MUA lately, its a lovely natural pink colour and can easily be applied using my fingers, it lasts well and I really like the colour on my cheeks.

 

 

 

Sleek Contour Kit in Light

 

Now for the most exciting thing in this post by far. YAY, I finally got the ridiculously raved about Sleek contour kit, and it has not disappointed.

 

 

V05 Plump it up Dry Backcomb Spray

 

Lastly, is this dry backcombing spray, I had my eye on this for a while and I finally picked it up a little while ago, and I'm so glad I did. I'm not really sure how it works but it is amazing, it literally backcombs your hair without damaging it at all like backcombing it with a brush or a comb would.

 

So they are my current beauty favourites, what have you been liking lately?

Winter Beauty Essentials

Hello,

 

I'd firstly like to apologise for not posting in absolutely AGES, I've been really really busy with school and other things lately and I haven't had the time to sit down and  take photos, plan and write a post, so thank you for being patient.

 

Now onto the post. As it's getting colder and colder outside, I thought I'd do a post telling you my beauty essentials for wintertime.

 

 

Moisturiser:

 

 

Good Things Face the Day Moisturiser - £7.99 here

 

I know that moisturiser is a product that is used all year round, but in winter I think it is more important to moisturise, especially if you are like me and the cold weather really dries out your face.

 

 

Hand Cream

 

 

 

Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Cream - £3.85 here

 

 

As well as drying out my face, cold weather also makes my hands very dry, thanks for that, winter. So hand cream is really essential to carry around and I really like this one, it doesn't smell amazing but I find sometimes heavily perfumed hand creams don't really do anything for my dry skin.

 

 

Lip Balm:

 

 

 

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip balm Tin - £3.69 here

 

That's right, my lips also get really chapped in winter so I'm constantly putting lip balm on too. This one is minty and I really love it, I find that only natural lip balms do anything for my lips in terms of moisturising them especially in winter.

 

 Green Corrector:

 

 



 Natural Collection Green Corrector Stick - £1.99 here

 

Firstly I'm sorry for the horrible state of this product, I'm not really sure why, or if it's just me, but I get really red cheeks in winter so I reached straight for this and it really does work at correcting the redness so an essential for me.

 

Red Lipstick:

 

 

 

 

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 500 Diva Red - £6.49 here

 

I think that in winter red lipstick is definitely a staple, and really suits this time of year. I got this one before the moisture renew range was re-formulated and re-packaged but the same red colour is still available :).

 

Black Nail Polish:

 

 

Bourjois So Laque Nail Polish in Noir de Chine - £5.99 here

 

Call me a goth, but I think that dark nail polishes look really nice, especially in winter.

 

So that's my winter essentials, what are your winter beauty essentials?

Fashion wish list #2

Hey,

Before I start this post I'd like to apologise that I haven't posted in such a long time, I had a really important English controlled assessment and I'm actually on half term at the moment -yay for my school having 2 weeks off instead of 1- and although this should give me more time to blog more, I've been so busy! And when I did get some time, my laptop completely died. Anyway, so now I am writing this on my iPad so I don't really know how it'll go but I'll try my best 😄

Onto the wishlist: 

(Top left) Tall Black Coated Disco Pants - New Look - £22.99

Yes, that's right,you have found somebody who does not yet own a pair of disco pants *hangs head in shame*. But I really do want a pair and eventually I will take the plunge and buy em, however I do not have £70 to spend on an original pair so I thought the new look cop offs would do nicely. I also went for the tall ones as I find that I have a problem with the length of the legs in new look trousers.

(Top right) Combined Checkered T-shirt with Collar - Zara - £19.99

I really like this tartan t shirt, if you hadn't noticed that tartan is in at the moment then I don't know where you have been and I think this collared top of perfect for autumn time, especially as it is quite dark but with some red which I always see as a really autumnal colour

(Bottom Left) Floral Print Sweatshirt - Zara - £25.99

If there's one thing I love about autumn it's wearing jumpers like this (or sweaters, sweatshirts, I never really know what to call them) I just think they are super comfy and can be really casual or more dressed up and they are warm for if it's a little bit cold but not too hot because you never know what the weather will be like in autumn! I really love the floral pattern on this one in particular.

(Bottom Right) You Can't Sit With Us T-Shirt Mean Girls - EBay - £6.99

I found this tshirt on a blog where the blogger had written "and if you don't understand it, when then you're just as dumb as Karen" which made me smile but unfortunately I cannot remember which blog it        

was. 

(Top Left) Black Tartan Cap Sleeve Shift Dress - New Look - £22.99

I don't own any dresses in this style but I do really like it and I think that the tartan print is very different and suits the style of the dress, I love this!

(Top Right) Cut Out Chunky Biker Shoes - EBay - £24.99

I really love cut out boots and I've wanted a pair for a while but I did originally have my eye on a pair with a bigger heel which I love too but then I started thinking that I don't actually have a pair of not high heeled ankle boots - although I'm not sure id use the word flat to describe these - and I know that I would get much more opportunity to wear lower heeled ones which is why these are in my wishlist rather than higher ones.

(Bottom Left) PVC Clear Raincoat - EBay - £14.50

I love that you can still see any outfit through these raincoats and the whole idea of it is amazing I think

(Bottom Right) Knitted Marbel Woven Jumper - Topshop - £38

Yet another thing I love to wear in the colder months, knitted jumpers. I like that this one has contrasted sleeves to the middle and the pattern is so colourful and mesmerising 

(Top Left) Moto Bleach Denim Dungarees - Topshop - £18 (in sale) £38 (not in sale) 

These May look somewhat summery for this time of year but I think with tights and a long coat these will look lovely Even on colder days 😀

(Top Right) 2 Pack Burgundy and Monochrome Floral Peplum Tops - New Look - £17.99

I love peplum tops especially with leggings I think think they are really easy to wear and can be smart or casual depending on how you dress them up and I think both of these are perfect for autumn

(Bottom Left) Annie Oversized Vintage Jumper - Boohoo - £15

Another knitted jumper, i love being comfy and this jumper looks so cosy and warm and I also really like the colour of it 😀

(Bottom Right) Nike Blazer Mid Trainers - Nike - £70

Whilst I am aware that I will probably never get these shoes because they are extremely overpriced I thought I should include them as I do really like them and they look really comfortable And like they would go with nearly everything 😀

So that's it for my fashion wishlist, I hope you liked it 😀

My Most Used Makeup Collection & Storage

Hey :)

 

So today I am going to be showing you how I store my 'everyday' makeup. Obviously I do not use all of this makeup everyday (or I'd be CAKED!) but this is just what I use most then I have a big drawer which I keep everything else in. I am aware that I don't have that much makeup compared to many people but I like what I have and to me it's a big collection!

 

Sorry for the rather cluttered looking drawers!

 

 

 

Just incase you were wondering, I don't keep a bottle of Jack Daniels by my bed ;) No, that is a cute little bottle which I keep hair grips in, also here is a little Love ETC Solid Perfume from Body Shop, a tiny perfume from Next, a couple of Ecotools brushed and some really random brushed :)

 

 

Let's just a take a minute for possibly the coolest makeup brush pot in the world! It is made from this old china cheese pot thing and I decorated it with PVA glue and Marvel wrapping paper from primark :) I have a range of random brushes, the black ones are from a set I got on Amazon for about £6-8, the stippling brush is from Ebay and was around £2, the comb is from Body Shop, Backcombing Brush from Primark, Ecotools Foundation Brush, Random Foundation Brush

 

 

This is the box I keep foundations, mascaras, concealers and things which wont fit in the little drawers underneath in! The box is a cardboard one from Hobby Craft I think covered in a really cool New York Wallpaper which I got a sample of from Homebase :)

 

So here's what I keep in that box:

 

 

Garnier Ambre Solaire Face and Neck Sun cream

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Collection Lasting Perfection Foundation

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Collection Cover and Go Foundation

Body Shop Matte It Primer

 

 

 

I love keeping makeup items in little tealight holders, I just think its a great way to store them, they look nice and don't take up too much space, everything is also really easy to find which it can't always be if they are lying down.

This is where I keep my concealers, because I'm a slight concealer freak (dark circles, need I say more!) and I also have an eye primer in there too :)

In here there is:

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Clinique Airbrush Concealer

NYC Smooth Skin Concealer

Maybelline Mineral Concealer

L'Oreal True Match Concealer

Vivo Radiant Boost Highlighter

W7 Eye Primer

 

 

Another tealight holder :)

In this one I keep mascaras, eyeliners and an eyebrow pencil:

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

2True Flash Eyes Mascara

Collection 2000 Skylash Mascara

L'Oreal Superliner Sponge Tipped Eyeliner

Primark Liquid Eyeliner

Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencil

 

 

I also keep my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and my 2True All natural Matte Bronzer in here because they wont fit in the drawers :)

 

 

Lastly, I keep My eyelash curlers from Primark in there, Vivo Eyeshadow Palette in Dreamy and Ebay Concealer Palette

 

 

Now onto the cute little drawers from Poundland! As soon as I saw them, I loved them so much, they are SO cute and perfect for storing makeup and they were only £1!!!

 

In the top drawer, I keep highlighters,  Eyeshadows and lipsticks/balms :)

 

 

Highlighters:

 

Calvin Klein Crème Eyeshadow in Bare Silk (Browbone Highlighting)

Chit Chat Highlighter

Clinique Up lighting Illuminator

 

 

Eyeshadows:

 

Tesco Eyeshadow in Shade 2

Constance Carroll Eyeshadow in Taupe (Left) Beige (Right)

NYC Metro Quartet in Best of Broadway

 

 

Lipsticks/Balms/Liner:

 

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Iced Caramel

Collection Lasting Perfection Lipstick in Satin Bow

Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch (Left) and Peach Kiss (Right)

Revlon Lip liner

 

 

Onto the bottom drawer where I keep blusher, bronzer and powder

 

 

MUA Blusher in Cupcake

Rimmel Mono Blushers in Smoked Oyster (Left) and Santa Rose (Right)

MUA Blush Perfection Cream Blusher in Dolly

 

 

W7 The Bronzer Matte Compact
