Maybelline Colour Tattoo!

Hi guys! 

So the Colour tattoo's have been talked about by everyone when they first came out! The blogger community instantly fell in love with them, (well the majority). It is easy to see why! They are also a decent price point the are £4.99 but will last a long time because i little goes along way. However, you can always get these when there is a 3 for 2 in Boots or Superdrug meaning you can sometimes get one free. 

Permanent Taupe, Metallic Pomegranate, On and On Bronze & Pink Gold

I own four from the range and i am always looking for another one to add to my collection. They are beautiful, creamy and highly pigmented. The on and on bronze (bad to the bronze in the US) is the one i find is most talked about, this is the one for people who are in to the neutral colours. It is the one I have used the most, but my favourite it the Pomegranate colour which is just so beautiful. My least favourite is Permanent Taupe, which happens to be the only one i own without glitter, however it is a good base under a smokey eye but i do not like to wear that colour on it's own. 

Swatches same order as above. 

Overall, i love these on there own, for a simple everyday look. They are easy to just throw on and blend so well, you can use them with a brush but i tend to just apply and blend them with my finger.

Makeup revolution concealer palette review

Hiya,

So if you saw my last post you will see that I have been using this palette to do my highlighting. This palette is available at super drug and on the Makeup Revolution website, and it retails for just £6!  This is the only think i really use it for if i am honest. When it comes to concealing i think this palette, and there other concealer products are all pretty rubbish for using it as their designated use.

However, all hope is not lost, i love using this palette to highlight, the first shade is super light even on my pale skin and is perfect for adding some light and dimension to your face. They blend so well and don't leave you looking like you have 10 layers of product on your face, i love blending out the product with my beauty blender.

Overall i wouldn't buy this to conceal under your eyes when there are better things on the market at the same or lower price. (e.g. everyones holy grail collection lasting perfection). Maybe if you don't need such a heavy coverage then this would be the product for you. However if you are looking for a palette where you can mix a few shades for your perfect highlight shade then i would fully recommend. For my this isn't something i feel i must repurchase this straight away if i run out because i am paying all that money for just one of the products in it.

Highlighting and Contouring Routine

Hiya,

Lately overtime i see a highlight and contour routine on both videos and blogposts i seem to see people only using high end products like the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette. I am yet to find someone else using a drugstore product that can be found easily in the UK.

I have found two products which i have been loving at the moment. The first one being the beauty UK contour palette (review here). In this I only use the contour shade. The other product I use is the Make-up Revolution concealer palette in light, I use the latest shade for my highlight and will have a full review for you next.

Once i have placed the products in the area's that i desire so the hollows of my cheeks, my nose, my forehead and cheek bones i then take a damp beauty blender and blend everything in.

Before (excuse the towel was getting ready for a night out :')  )

After (flash wasn't so bright but it's all blended promise)

Review: Beauty UK Ultimate contour palette

Hi guys.

Today i am going to be reviewing the Beauty UK contour palette. I first saw this mentioned by Mikhila over on her MissBudgetBeauty channel. As soon as she mentioned it i knew it was something i wanted to try. So a few days later i went to super drug and picked this up. It was the last one in store so i made sure i snapped it up. I think that it is a really good price, costing only £4.99, but in there you get a contour a bronzer and a highlight shade.

The palette is made up of all cream products meaning that they are easily bendable. My biggest criticism for this is the colour range. They only have one palette which i presume they are marketing this as a universal product to suit everyone. However, i swatched the bronzer which is way to orange on my skin tone, and the highlighter just blends into my skin and is pretty much the same colour because i am so pale.

The one thing that keeps me loving this palette is the contour shade. I love it and think it gives a beautiful cream finish. The product blends so well meaning there are no harsh lines. Personally i would pay the full price for just the contour shade on it's own. I have been using the contour shade everyday that i use my make-up and think that it is becoming a staple in my make-up routine. Also the product is going to last a long time, as a little goes a long way.

The one thing that i think makes this cream kit stand out from both high end and drugstore cream contour kits it that it gives you a guide on the back if you are a complete beginner to contouring your face.

Overall, my thoughts on this product are that I love the contour shade however i could live without the other two shades and by the contour as it's own colour/product. Saying that i would still recommend this product to people because is it still good value from a cream contour shade.

Review: MUA Brow Define

Hiya :)


So as i was perusing in super drug about a week ago I came across this on the MUA stand, it's nice to see the more affordable brands branching out into the eyebrow department. I am not one to spend much on my every brows as they are think and don't need much filling in. However I am always willing to try drugstore products.

The MUA Brow define is a tinted gel, so the same sort of product as the Benefit Gimme Brow (which I have no tried so am unable to compare). However there is a massive difference in price the MUA one retails for just £2 making that a £15 price gap. I got mine in the colour Dark Brown the darkest shade, however this is nearly Black, but having dark brown and purple hair i can get away with out it. I don't know if al the colour come out darker than described.

The wand appears to be larger than the benefit one (again i have not tried this is merely and observation). The wand is just smaller than that of a travel mascara meaning that it can be a bit messy and hard to get a precise application.

The product leave your eyebrows soft and not solid like a brow mascara might so this is not a setting product the colour can also move when dry however this is when they are pressure is applied, a slight knock would't move the product.

Overall I enjoy using this product and will continue to use it on days where I wish to have a slightly darker brow. I would purchase again however next time i might try the lighter shade.
