MUA Glamour Days Palette Swatches and Review-

Hi guys, so today I thought I would show you some swatches of one of my MUA palettes, and it's the glamour days palette. 
It's a really nice palette that I do use a lot to do some bright crazy looks when I am bored. 
As you can see it comes with 12 shadows (4 matte and 8 shimmer) and they're all super pigmented and brilliant. I have swatches of them on paper as I don't like to swatch on my skin much because it takes years to come off!! 
Shade 1-4- 
Shade 1- It's a matte kind of cream colour, which is good for highlighting your brow bone. 
Shade 2- a really lovely turquoise shimmer which I love to play around with! 
Shade 3- a shimmery browny- maroon colour which is really nice, but probably my least used in the palette. 
Shade 4- I love this matte peach shadow, it's really pigmented and creamy and can look lovely just on it's own on your eyes. 
Shade 5-9-
Shade 5- it's a matte sandy colour which is good for filling in eyebrows or just using on your eyes. 
Shade 6- a darker blue shimmer which is a lot like shade 2. I really love this shadow. 
Shade 7- a purple shimmer which I like to use to create wacky looks.
Shade 8- a darkish pink shimmer, which looks good for a wild look paired with shade 7.
Shade 9- a shimmery almost gold colour, which is nice on the eyes with shade 3 and 11.
Shade 10-12-
Shade 10- it's a really creamy and pigmented matte dark brown, which will be good for filling in darker eyebrows, or it goes well in the crease for a smoky look. 
Shade 11- a shimmery copper colour which goes really nice with shade 9.
Shade 12- a matte light browny colour which would be ideal for filling in blonde eyebrows, or just for a natural eye look.

So I love this palette, and I would definately highly recommend it as it is only £4. My only issue is the fall out is pretty bad as you can see 
But never the less, I love this palette and I do use it alot :) 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this swatchy swatchy post!!

BYE!

Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart Review

Hello Everybody!! 
Just a small blog post today since I am going to be uploading a new video either tomorrow or Sunday, so keep your eyes and ears peeled as its quite an exciting video!:) 

So today I thought I'd write my review on the mega popular Revlon Lip Butters, which pretty much everyone raves about and loves. 
I own the lip butter in a lovely darkish pink colour called 'sweet tart', but I do have to say I was real disappointed when I bought this. 


Now for one, I think £8 is RIDICULOUSLY over priced for these. They are a very very sheer lipstick that hardly show up whatsoever, and because of this- I am not going to buy another one of these lip products which everybody (but me) seems to be loving! 
Of course they are very moisturising and nice on the lips, the only time I ever wear this is when my lips are MEGA chapped and I need to put something on quickly, as it does smooth them out and make them feel like a babies bottom! 


I find that they feel kind of oily on the lips though, which I personally hate- it goes through me and it really does put me off using this lip product. 
(This was a thick swatch of the product, it does not turn out like this on the lips unfortunately.)

So overall, I do like this product.. It's okay and I would recommend it to the people who are just trying out lip colours and lipstick, or people who are a bit nervous to wear bright lips, these will give a sheer shine of colour to your lips. But for me, I am a lover of pigmented, bright lipsticks, so the Revlon Lip Butters are not for me. It's something that I personally would not purchase again. 

HAUL VIDEO SNEAK PEEK!

So later on this week I will be positing a small makeup/jewellery haul! :) this blog post is a little sneak peek into what you will see in the video! Don't get too excited haha! I'm so excited to film it :) 

So these are the bags.. But what's in them? Find out in my NEW VIDEO which should be on either tomorrow or Sunday :) 
BYE!

Mini Beauty Haul!

So I popped into Tesco with my mum to get a few bits and as usual I was at the makeup area for around 15-20 minutes. I was in my element because there was a Rimmel stand, and a Maybelline and Max Factor one too! 
So I eventually picked what I got and I am so excited about them! 


The first thing I picked up was a Maybelline Color Sensation lipstick in 910 'shocking coral'. Oh my god, as soon as I swatched it on my hand it was love at first sight. It is such a beautiful coral colour that I cannot wait to wear this summer! 
Here are a few quick swatches-

The last thing I got was something that has been on my wish list for ages! 
A maybelline Color tattoo eyeshadow! 
I was torn between 2 colours, and I finally decided on this one as it is definitely one I can add into my everyday look. 


It is in On and On Bronze, and it's a lovely bronze cream shadow, with a slight shimmer to it. When I get round to wearing this I will definately post some swatches and reviews :) 

Thanks for reading this short and sweet haul! See you next time. I will be posting a new video on my channel tomorrow to so keep your eyes peeled! X

Orly 'Lemonade' swatches and review.

Hello everyone! Here I am with a new post- which is some swatches and a mini review on my only Orly nail polish, in the shade 'lemonade'

As you can see it is a lovely almost banana-ry yellow, and as yellow is my favourite colour, I am coo-koo for this polish. My friend bought it me at Christmas and it is the perfect pastel yellow. 

The formula of the nail polish is OK. It looks very streaky with 1 coat, and 2 coats luckily evens it out and makes It look good, but I think 3 coats would probably be best for the full coverage of your nails. 

Please excuse my bitten cuticles ( I've been stressed out!) but here is a swatch of it on my nails! Here I am wearing 2 coats, and I don't know if you can see but there are a few patches here and there, so I'd recommended 3 coats. 


I do love this nail polish, and I certainly would recommend it to everyone! Especially my fellow yellow lovers! :) 

You can buy it here for £9.49! bargain!! -http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0036FX094/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

So that's all for this post! I hope you enjoyed it, and also, check out my latest YouTube video, where this nail polish is featured in My Summer Essentials! :)

FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO!

Wow! I can't believe it but I just uploaded my first ever video to youtube- how exciting!
I will add the video below, and it is my Everyday Makeup Tutorial, and I do apologise for looking and being very awkward, but in myself I should begin to feel more confident in front of the camera when I upload more videos.
I'm aiming to upload about twice a week on whichever days I can- if you have any ideas of videos you'd like to see, please let me know!!

HERE IT IS- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38JNdyR49ks
