R.I.P Natural Collection , Pink Mallow

Well guys its been a very... sad day makeup wise for me Boohoo Hooo :'(

As you may or may not of guessed this involves my Natural Collection , Pink Mallow lipstick. I really really love this lipstick and its probably my favourite lipstick in my small collection.
Anyway lets cut a long story short... Today walking home i was reapplying my lipstick (pink mallow) i was walking really slow , as i cant apply lipstick while walking at normal speed. I was just walking when i tripped over a stick, i didn't smudge my lipstick. However the lipstick went like this  /
Which is not so good. I put it back in place and continued applying for it to completely fall off onto the ground. I was so sad in 2 minutes i felt like this:
:(    :'(     :O    :@

Here's a picture of whats left of my poor beloved lipstick
Depressing much ? Even though I've been told these things break is this gunna stop me from buying a new one....
Hell No ! ;)

Barry M lipgloss & BeautyUK lipgloss Review

Hey Guys , so as promised here is my Barry M & Beauty UK lip gloss review. So lets kick it all off with BeautyUk's lip gloss ( I'm not sure off the shade for both of these sorry )

So that's it , i no Beauty UK do different types of lip gloss and this is a "Lip Juice" Please click the pictures to enlarge. I got this at Christmas and hadn't used it much as the amount of glitter really put me of. About last week i got it out my makeup drawer and thought I'd give it a shot. It was easy to apply and the packaging is quite cute. It felt really moisturising on my lips. The only bad thing is i could feel a little of the glitter on my lips, however i found it did help the gloss stay on for a longer period of time. Its quite true to its colour and the glitter gives it that extra sparkle effect. This was £1.99.
Barry M lip gloss

This is the Barry M lip gloss. I don't think it has a shade as i got it in the newspaper offer. The offer included: a lip gloss, a eyeliner and a nail Polish. Anyway... I would recommend this lip gloss under a lipstick as its quite pale and crease's easy. Its very trues to its colour and its in a cute little tube thing. Its stays on for a while to and its nice and moisturising.

That's all for now , Bye :) xxx

Random Ramble And Update

Hey people :)
I'm kinda bored now so i thought I'd just give you a bit of an update of whats up on my blog and things and whats coming soon. Anyway....
Whenever a product catches my eye or i read about a product on a blog, i always end up doing research on it. As sad as it sounds, it works for me. So lately I've had my eye on some more natural collection products so what do i do ? I go onto my laptop and start looking at reviews and videos of different products. After like 2 days research ( only like 1 hour each day ) I have results! Next time I'm in town I'm gunna pick up:
  • Natural Collection Blush , Peach Melba
  • Natural Collection Mascara , Lash build
  • Natural Collection Lipstick , Coral shimmer
So in total that adds up to £5. At boots theres this offer 3 natural collection items for £5. So yeah that's that.

Anyway lets move onto....
Upcoming Blog posts!
Here's some posts that will be up on my blog soon...
  • Barry M Lip gloss Review

BeautyUk Lipstick ( In The Buff )

Well i was recently in Super drug with my friend and we were at the BeautyUk stand. They had only recently got the testers in so i thought "Why not?" and i applied the BeautyUk lipstick called in the buff onto my lips , using the tester. This is what i thought in the first few minutes of applying :
  • It smelt really nice and fresh , minty.
  • It was very pigmented.
  • It was very moisturising.
  • The packaging was quite cute :)
So that's actually really good for a £3.49 lipstick.
 Another thing i noticed about this lipstick was how it stayed on , it wasn't till we were out Super drug and walking down the road when my friend said " Its set" She said something like that anyway. Its hard to explain what happened the lipsticks had like "set " in weird way a bit like a nail Polish but it was still moisturising and hard to smudge/rub off. So it gave you about 3-5 mins to get your lipstick the way you wanted it before it set.
 I REALLY loved this about the lipstick cause you no when your done putting lipstick on and you get thirsty/hungry. Anyway here's a pic of the lipstick i tried on:
So that's the lipstick i tryed on. oh by the way NO I didn't buy the lipstick as i didn't have enough money on me . But YES 110% I'm going to buy it next time I'm in Super drug. Oh also the pic isn't as "true" to the lipstick i tried on , its more of a nude.
One last thing : This picture isn't mine all rights go to BeautyUk
I rate this product 10/10

My Mua Eyeshadows !

Hey guys , i haven't been blogging for the past few days as i have been busy. But anyway today I'm going to do my mua eyeshadow collection & swatches. I've been meaning to do this for ages but i keep forgetting , anyway i have 9 eye shadows to talk about today so lets got started.
Here's a Picture of all the Mua eye shadows i have :
~Please click the picture to enlarge it~

I have the eye shadows in shade 4-18
Top line Shades : 4, 5, 6,7,8     Bottom line Shades: 9 , 10 , 16 , 18
As you can see these eye shadows come in large-ish pan and have domed lids , the lids make them hard to stack sometimes :(

Here's some swatches of the shadows shade 4-7 (going from right to left)

As you can see these are the swatches of one of the Pearl lilacs and all the green eye shadows.

Here's a swatches of the rest of the eye shadows Shades : 7-18
Shade 18s swatch is on the palm of my hand.

As you can see these eye shadows are very pigmented and they aren't gritty at all. I only have 2 mattes as they don't stay on me as well as the pearls. These eye shadows stay on all day , as long as you add a hint of your favourite eyeshadow primer. Mua have a wide range of eye shadows ranging from shade 1-20 . Mua is sold in Super Drug in the UK. Each MUA product is £1 , so there a great bargain.

Have you ever tried Mua if so what are your thoughts ?

Primer Problems!

Primer , Primer , Primer :(
Am i ever going to find a eyeshadow primer to suit my needs ? I've tried a UDPP ( Urban Decay Potion Primer) sample for a while and at first it was great. My Shadow stayed it didnt fade , crease and the colours popped. Now it just doesnt seem to work anymore. I've been wanting to buy a full sized primer for ages but i could never decide on which to buy. I didnt want UDPP due to the bad packaging and having to depot it. So now im thinking about Too Faced Shadow Insurance. The problem that bugs me the most with eyeshadow is the creasing its one of my pet hates. Theres been some great feedback about Too Faced Shadow Insurance , it solves all my problems and im in love with the packaging :)

Im still not sure though so i thought i'd ask you guys what you think. What do you think about UDPP or To Faced Shadow Insurance ?

                     Too Faced Shadow Insurance .VS. Urban Decay Primer Potion !!!!
See You Soon xxxx
P.S : Please comment with your feedback =)

Superdrug & Boots Haul / Review

Hey Guys , today i got a mini haul for you with like 4 items LOL, not many but i have tried all these products since i bought them so I'm doing a review of them to :)
So i got 3 mua items : Lipstick shade 7 , Lip gloss shade 5 and an eyeshadow shade 9. I also went to boots and got 1 natural collection item , its a blusher. I got the blusher in pink cloud (LOVE the name)
Review Time!!!
The mua lipstick is very moisturising this is my 3rd lipstick to add to my "mua lipstick collection" Its very pigmented and is very easy to build up. Also if you remove the cap at the bottom , were it shows the colour , its actually a lip gloss so its more like a 2 for 1 there.
The lip gloss also impressed me it wasn't sticky at all and was highly moisturising . Also unlike some lip gloss the colour didn't spread to the edge of my lips. I really like the colour to , however it does have shimmer/glitter in it. The glitter doesn't show on your lips though.
The eyeshadow is AMAZING! when you swatch it , it has a really nice shimmer to it with hints of gold and blue but the glitter in it is less pigmented on your eyes. The eyeshadow itself is highly pigmented , with a touch of Urban Decay Potion Primer it stays on all day and doesn't spread/fade at all.
Natural Collection Blusher in Pink Cloud , that i love. Its really pigmented to swatch and wear. You can wear it for special occasions or an everyday. Its really easy to build so its great for beginners to makeup. It has a lovely shimmer but it doesn't show on the face. I can put it on and it will stay all day :)

Swatch Time!!!
Top to Bottom : Mua eyeshadow shade 9 , Natural Collection Blusher in Pink Cloud , Mua lipstick shade 7 , Mua lip gloss shade 5
~Click photos to enlarge~

Mua items are sold in Super drug in the UK for £1. Natural Collection  items are sold in Boots for £1.99 each or 3 for £5.
Have you ever tried Natural Collection or Mua if so what are your thoughts ?
See you soon :) xxx

Natural Collection Wish List

I have been loving Natural Collection lately so i decided to do a wish list of some of the things i want. I'm probably gunna get some of these things the next time I'm in town or something. Anyway lets start.
      • Natural Collection , Lip gloss fondant~ i probably spelt that wrong but anyway if your a youtuber you may no about this lip gloss. I'm not gunna add pictures onto this cause i don't want  the post to be like a mile long. Basically this shade is a really nice pale pink/nude lip gloss. It perfect if you don't want a harsh coloured lip gloss and theres some great feedback on YouTube. I would love to check it out =)
      • Natural Collection Mascara~ I'm sorry that i don't have a shade or any way to describe this I'm SO sorry! But i forgot the name but I'll probably comment below when i find out. My friend tryed out one of there mascaras (Which name i forgot) and said it was really good and suggest i check it out which i wanna asap.
      • Natural Collection Pressed Power , Warm~ On Wednesday (6.04.11) i hit pan on my mua pressed powder. Theres like 1cm left of powder now or something and I'm in need of more. I decided i wanna try a Natural Collection powder just for a change to see which is better for my skin. I'm not sure on a shade (yet) but i think warms the shade for me.
Sorry Guys but that's all i have got to think of right now. If theres more I'll just add them on. Also if your new to Natural Collection then continue reading : All products are under £2's and are available in Boots (Boots stores are in the UK) The bigger the store the more chance they'll have the product your looking for =)

Natural Collection Lipstick Pink Mallow

I was in town yesterday and  i thought I'd try one of the Natural Collection Lipsticks. I had been watching some reviews on the Natural Collection "Pink Mallow" lipstick so i thought i would try it out.
As you can see , its a nude-ish colour with a hint of pink. I have been wanting a new pink colour for a while but there either : To Dark or To Light. It goes on quite well and you would think it would be rubbish with it being £1.99 but its not as bad as you think it is. It builds up quite well to. It lasts about 3+  hours which is not bad for a £1.99 lipstick. The only reason it started to fade after 3 hours was that i ate something. Its not to big or chunky so its great for taking out & about with you i rate it 4.5/5. I think everyone should try one of these lipsticks as you never no the outcome =)

Natural Collection Cover up stick

Hey people , you may or may not have noticed that i havent been posting in a while. So this is my first post since like january or something. Anyway, today im gunna be doing a little review on the Natural Collection Cover up Stick (in Fair)



You can buy natural collection makeup from Boots in the uk. All items are under 2 pounds so i thought i'd check there cover up stick out. I bought my stick in fair and thought it was quite good. I use my cover-up stick under my eyes and to cover up any spots i may have on my face and i would say it gives about 75% coverage under the eyes. As for spots i would say it gives me 85% coverage. I heard on youtube that the correcter stick is REALLY good for spots and redness on your face. So you could use the correcter stick , then apply the cover up stick. They do the stick in 2 shades theres Fair (lighter shade) and Medium (Darker Shade) I found medium was to orange for my skin tone. I have re-bought this cover-up stick until i find something off better quailty. But for now i'd say it is real good. I would give it a 4/5 rating.
Thanks for reading this =) I'll be upoading a review on Natural Collection Pink Mellow Lipstick soon.

My Makeup Wishlist =)

Heyy People. I've been trying to make this post for like, 4 days now but i keep having to go and so i try to save it but it never saves propley, GRRRR! So this is like my 3rd try now so maybe its 3rd time lucky. Ok , so today im gunna be doing my Makeup Wishlist which is basicly a 1-4 of my most wanted makeup items at the moment (Including Pictures) So here it goes..... :D
  1. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion ~ This is probley my most wanted product at the moment. I already tired the sample and thought it was amazing. I havent really heard that much of the sin one . But i dont really no much about the sin either so i am probley gunna get it the purple (regular) kind.
  2. MUA Blusher Shade 1~ Well some of you may or may not no what Mua is , but it stands for Makeup Academy and i have talked about it before in my "MUA Product Review and swatches" post. If you live in the uk you will probley no that they sell MUA in Superdrug. As its their own brand. If you live in the USA and you have never heard of MUA before you could probley check youtube and find stuff about it there. Ok so i already have a MUA blush in shade 3. Shade 3's kinda dark and if i had to give it a name it would probley have to call it "Rasberry Kiss" or something like that. MUA Shade 1 blusher is meant to be easier to blend unlike shade 3 so i would love to try it.
  3. Natural Collection Cover Up Stick ~ To be honest with you all i dont really have a cover up stick and i was looking on the internet the other day and saw this and imidently fell in love with it . I think its a great shade and i was really suprised at the price i mean its only £1.99 and if i don't like it i can always give it away. Oh , and im probly gunna get it in Fair and not Medium as mediums a bit to orangey for my skin tone.
  4. Mac Quad Eyeshadow Palette~ If your a big fan of mac then you might know that you can make your own palette of products , like eyshadows and blushs. I want to make my own netural/ Blues and green palette. I havent really decided on which colours to get yet. But i think im definitly gunna buy the quad palette.
So theres a picture of what it kinda looks like but its hard to find i good picture . Thats all now Guys. Bye x

My MUA Products & Swatches!

Heyy people , well this post is gunna be about my MUA products. To start of , i'll tell you a little about MUA. Ok , So MUA is the £1 makeup brand , you can buy MUA products from SuperDrug. They do stuff like pressed powders , eyeshadows , lipsticks ect.ect. Anyway so I have about 7 MUA products now . So I think i'll start by showing you a picture of all the products i've got . From Left to Right : Lipstick Shade 11 , Eyeshadow Shade 8 , Eyeshadow Shade 6 , Eyeshadow Shade 16 , Black Mascara & Pressed Powder Shade 1 . Also i got another product today , MUA Blusher Shade 3 (Blusher isnt in photo)
 So im gunna talk about each product i have , so first up is my MUA Lipstick Shade 11. Its a really nice natural skin tone colour and its perfect for a everyday look. I havent really tired it with the primer at the bottom of the product yet . But i will do as soon as possible . It's a nice and moiturising lipstick , however it only stays on for about 2-3hours so i would reccomend that you carry this product around with you if you want a noticeable look. I rate it 3/5


Next , is the MUA Shade 8 Eyeshadow . Its a lovely bright blue but you cant really see its full colour in my picture up there . Its really pigmented if you just look at it in its packaging. But when you actully put it on it comes out really nice . I usally wear it with Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer as it makes it show really nice for about 9 hours . I have green eyes so it goes perfectly , but if you have brown eyes i wouldnt advise this product for you, but its only £1 so were can you go wrong ? I rate this product 4/5

Let's Move On , so next is the MUA Shade 6 Eyeshadow . Its an AMAZING Glittery Green colour and its kinda got the same effect as shade 8 . It comes on really nicely and it matches my eyes perfectly. I no most people dont really wear bright colours everyday . But its one of my weekly Favs. I rate it 5/5!

Next , is the MUA Shade 16 Eyeshadow. It is perfect for a natural everyday look . I think it would go great in a blend with another darker colour for brown eyes. I've got green eyes (I just said that didnt i?LOL) but it still looks great. It comes out really nicely and again i wear it with Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer.

So , Next up is the MUA black Mascara . I think its really nice , and i love how when you put it on it doesnt crumble into your face like some other mascara i have used in the past. It's npt the best in the world , but hey . £1 were can you go wrong . Also its good for emerganceys. I rate this product 3.75/5 (I'll add a pic of my swatch)

Ok , so theres my pic of me with the MUA , Mascara on. So now we'll
move on . My last product is the MUA Pressed Powder in Shade 1. Its really nice for the odd cover up and is nice and well... Shimmery . But not to shimmery if you no what i mean. On that photo > i havent got it on . However when i do it gives my freckles a light coverage. I think its good but not the best as it easily comes off. I rate this product 3/5 .
Ok , Now i'll add a pic of the swatches i did of all theese products. Sorry if its a bad pic as the lighting isnt that good and my hand didnt fit in the camera angle .
