Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadows Review and Swatches

2013-05-20T22:54:00.000+01:00

When I heard about Urban Decay releasing some new, very sparkly eyeshadows, I of course had to check them out. They came out in 7 shades and I picked up 4 (for now?). I got Glitter Rock, Intergalactic, Stargazer and Zodiac. This is the description on the Debenhams website: "Urban Decay launches Moondust Eyeshadow, a dazzling innovation in eyeshadow with a super-refined and incredibly

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Blue Ribbon - Review and Swatches

2013-05-18T22:55:00.000+01:00

I have another shade of Stila Smudge Stick to show you called Blue Ribbon. The name is a bit misleading because, well, it's not really blue. I'd say it's probably more of a steel blue, but definitely what I was expecting. Regardless, it's a nice colour. Otherwise it's basically the same product as the other Smudge Sticks I have reviewed before (click here for my review). It is one of the more

Mac Tropical Taboo Mineralize Collection for Summer 2013 Promo Pictures!

2013-05-17T12:57:00.002+01:00

Finally we have promo pictures of the upcoming Mac Tropical Taboo collection. I was loving it before I saw the pictures, but I'm loving it even more so! Due to be released in July in the US (and I'm guessing August in the UK), here are the collection details: Mineralize Lipsticks Lady at Play – Mid-tone cool tangerine Divine Choice – Mid-tone cool pink cream Midnight Mambo – Intense

Firstly, I apologise about the lack of posts, or quality posts more like. I'm not too sure why, but I've been less interested in blogging and make up in general lately (although still really into nail polishes), so that's why I haven't been posting quite so often. I have a good few things to review, but I never seem to get around to it. I've also acquired a social life and have been going out 2

My Mac Art Of The Eye, Fashion Sets and Temperature Rising Collection Haul and Swatches

2013-05-09T22:47:00.000+01:00

Okay, here's the last installment of my Mac haul posts. This one is actually a very small haul, despite Mac releasing so many collections in May. I was really only interested in the Extra Dimension products, but decided to pick up a few bits and bobs from other collections too. I got Banafsaji eyeshadow from Art Of The Eye, Embrace Me eyeshadow from Fashion Sets and Caliente lipstick from

My Mac In Extra Dimension Haul and Swatches - Eyeshadows

2013-05-07T23:04:00.000+01:00

Here's part 3 of my epic Mac In Extra Dimension haul, the eyeshadows. I only bought 4 out of 6 as the silver one really didn't interest me and I'm pretty sure I have a very similar one to the mauve one. These four, or in particular 3, are quite a different story. Dimensional Blue is nice, but it doesn't have the same duochrome effect as the other three. Triple Impact has gorgeous purple

My Mac In Extra Dimension Haul and Swatches - Blushes

2013-05-06T23:42:00.000+01:00

Another post about my Mac In Extra Dimension haul, this time it's the blushes. While I'm not doing an in depth review, I have included the swatches for you to see. All of these have now sold out on the Mac website, but are still available from Debenhams and House of Fraser among others. Although I'm not doing a proper review, I have to add that I'm not too happy about these blushes, they

My Mac In Extra Dimension Haul and Swatches - Skinfinishes

2013-05-05T23:00:00.001+01:00

Finally, the day had come when I could get my hands on the new Mac collection, In Extra Dimension. And here's what I got, first up the skinfinishes. I haven't used them yet, but I have swatched them, so I'll include the swatch pictures as well. I decided to do it this way in case they sell out quickly, at least you can see the swatches. Midnight is "helping" So I got all 3 skinfinishes,

Too Faced Candlelight Glow Highlighting Powder Duo - Review and Swatches

2013-05-01T23:10:00.000+01:00

I'm embarassed to admit how long I've had this product for and still never got around to reviewing it. I bought this in May last year, photographed it, swatched it, maybe even wore it, but never managed to write up a review. Not sure why. Anyway, I am doing it now, so never mind. Too Faced Candlelight Glow Highlighting Powder is a split pan powder, one side being white gold, the other very

My Recent Nail Polish Hauls Part 1

2013-04-29T23:18:00.000+01:00

As you'll have noticed, make up reviews have been few and far between on the blog lately. I managed to do just 4 of them in the last 3 weeks. I don't know why, I'm just not that drawn to make up at the moment, and what little I've bought I hardly had time to photograph, swatch and test out. However, I have been buying nail polish like it's going out of fashion (I have long given up on my nail

Scent Of The Month / Stash Highlight: Yves Saint Laurent Paris Eau de Printemps

2013-04-27T15:42:00.000+01:00

This is a slightly different Scent Of The Month post as I'm going to show you more than one perfume. Yves Saint Laurent Paris was my first proper grown-up perfume, I always wanted one and my then boyfriend got it for me for Christmas when I was 18. So for over half of my life now I have loved and regularly used it. Every year YSL also release a limited edition springtime, lighter version of Paris

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Periwinkle - Review and Swatches

2013-04-25T22:34:00.000+01:00

I feel really bad now reviewing this eyeliner because I've just looked on the Stila website and it's sold out now, and I believe this was a limited edition. But I've taken the pictures, so I might as well write up the review, right? This shade was part of the Stila spring collection, but it's basically the same product as the other Smudge Sticks I have reviewed before (click here for my review)

Laura Mercier Folklore Collection Illuminating Eye Colour in Sun Glow, Fire Glow and Earth Glow

2013-04-23T22:00:00.000+01:00

I already told you about this collection and now I can show you the eyeshadows I got which is basically all 3 of them! They are called Illuminating Eye Colours and they are pretty much exactly the same thing as these eyeshadows that came out last winter. Probably best if you read my previous review by clicking on the link because they are very very similar to last year's release. Colourwise

Kiko Super Colour Eyeliner in 105 Jade Green

2013-04-22T20:47:00.001+01:00

On a recent trip to Westfield I popped into the Kiko store and noticed their colourful liquid eyeliners. I picked up 105 jade Green, a colour I hadn't owned yet despite having loads of liquid eyeliners (mainly MUFE and Stila, but also other brands). This is what Kiko say about the eyeliner: "Coloured Liquid Eyeliner in a water-resistant formula. Its water and polymer based formula creates a

NOTD: Marks & Spencer Autograph Ultimate Wear Nail Colour in City Grey

2013-04-20T23:10:00.000+01:00

This is a rather pretty subtle but not boring in the slightest nail polish from Marks & Spencer. It's a lovely soft grey with pink shimmer that is very hard to capture, it looked much prettier in real life - as usual. I did 3 coats and unfortunately managed to mess up my middle finger nail, and couldn't be bothered to start again, so that's why it doesn't look that great in the pictures. It

Finally, a product review! I bought this highlighter on my pre-birthday shopping trip during the school holiday, but only just got around to swatching it and wearing it. This highlighter is part of the Estee Lauder summer collection and is already out in House of Fraser, and will be coming to other retailers at the end of April. Once again it's the new powder gelee formula and once again
