Sunkissed Sculpt & Glow | Review

Image
  Today I have a review of a relatively new product from Sunkissed, their 'Sculpt & Glow*' Contour kit  £4.99.  I have tried a bronzer by Sunkissed before, which I already have a review up of on my blog (you can find it  here ) so was excited to try out this new product.  Firstly the kit comes with a 'Sculpt' shade, used for contouring and a 'Glow' shade, used for highlighting.  The contour shade is perfect for using to define cheek bones, the sides of your nose and jaw line. Unlike some contour products, this adds depth to your face without the usual orange tinge. The highlight shade is used to highlight cheek and brow bones for a brighter, uplifted look. Some highlights have a chunky glitter finish, which can be unnatural for everyday use but I love this highlight as it has a natural shimmer that is  find more suitable. Overall I love this little contour kit, it's very affordable, the two shades are great and it has a  sleek and compact des...

Makeup for under £5 | W7 Cosmefics

Image
When it comes to makeup, finding a high quality product at an everyday affordable price is something a lot of people want. Today I have four products ( in the picture below) from W7 and the great thing is... They are all under £5! The product first up is the 'Cheeky Chaps' Multi Blush £4.95*. This blush contains a mix of three shades which when combined create a natural healthy glow on the cheeks, created by the small particles of shimmer that it contains. This blush is perfect for everyday wear and each colour can be used as a highlight so has multiple uses. Next up is the 'Lashtasic' Mascara*  £4.95 . A Black mascara to help create a false lash effect by adding volume and length to lashes. This mascara is fairly good at holding a curl but is quite wet so is best applied in thin layers that are left to dry between each. Next up is the 'Making Waves' Eye Colour* £4.95. This is a multi- eye shadow palette that contains 5 colours ranging from light to dark, perfec...

The makeup brand 'Makeup Revolution' is well known for its high quality products at everyday prices. Today  I have their Ultra Base Corrector Palette to review and share with you all!  The palette contains 8 colours each with a different job at 'correcting' skin tone, here is a list of what each colour is for: Pink- Brightens Green- Neutralises Redness Orange- Neutralises Blue Tones Peach- Helps to balance out slight discolouration White-  Adds Natural Highlight Cream- Neutralises Purple & covers Dark Areas Brown - Balances Ashiness in Medium to Dark Skin Tones The Colour creams are super blendable with a creamy consistency but haven't got the highest coverage although do help to tone down discolouration. With the whole palette of 8 colours only  £6 , each colour colour works out to only 75p each which is great value for money!  The palette can be purchased online from the   Makeup Revolution  site or online and instore at  Superdrug .

2 True BB Cream | Review

Image
Today I am reviewing a BB cream from 2True. 2True is an affordable UK brand, selling high quality products at everyday prices! The 8 in 1 BB beautiful cream*  £3.50  is a BB cream (Blemish Balm) is a lightweight foundation that 'gives a fresh faced natural glow'. I like the concept of the product, it has 8 functions in one tube, is lightweight, so is great for use on those good skin days and is an affordable everyday product!  I've only found that even though this product is in the shade light/medium, it has a slight orange tone to it. Me having fair skin, means the product doesn't match especially during winter when I'm generally even paler but I do think this product would be great for someone with a slight tan/less pale skin and is looking for a lightweight everyday BB cream!  Have you used/considered using a BB cream?  *Pr Sample

2True Lip Gloss | Review

2True is an affordable UK brand that sell high quality products at everyday, affordable prices! I have four of their lip glosses which I'm going to review today but if you would like to read my review of their great mascaras visit  here  and  here  for a review on two of their nail varnishes!  (Lip Gloss' are in the same order below) Crystal Lip Gloss  £2.29 *: This is a high shine lip gloss with 2 other shades available in the range which could be worn everyday as leaves lips shiny but not shimmery. The only thing I don't like about this lipgloss is the applicator but it's not a big deal!  Plumptous Lip Gloss  £1.99 *: This lip gloss is one of my past time favourites that I used to buy when I was younger! It's really moisturising, shiny and leaves lips plump. Perfect for parties! Pro 8hr Power Lip Gloss  £4.99 *: This lip Gloss is very pigmented, almost a shiny/glossy version of a lip stick that lasts well, in fact, I struggled to remove it!...

Glo & Ray Cosmetics | Reviews

Image
Glo & Ray is a British cosmetic brand, designed to compliment every woman's unique look and one that I hadn't heard of until recently.  Today I have two of their products to review, a blush and a lipstick.  First up is the blush which is the 'Nuage Solo Blush' in the shade Luna Maroon-501*  £11 . The first thing that i love about this blush is the packaging which is a sleek, handbag Worthy compact that even comes with a built in mirror and a brush,  handy for when out and about!  The colour has a peachy tone with a gold shimmer which gives a 'highlight' effect to cheeks. If 'peach' isn't the colour for you, Glo & Ray have 6 other shades in the range to suit everyone's needs. Next up is the 'LA AMO Creamy Matte Lip Colour' in the shade 'Muse'*  £12 . This lipstick has a creamy texture and is very moisturising but leaves lips with a matte but slightly glossy finish.  This shade of the lipstick is a pinky/peachy colour with 1...

2true Mascara | Review

Image
Recently 2True launched their new website to bring affordable Cosmetics to the UK. 2True have products with prices starting from £1.99 meaning they fit anyone's budget. Today I have two of their mascaras, the 2True Pro Flasheyes mascara* £2.99  and the 2True WOW Mascara*  £2.99 .  Firstly, usually when it comes to more 'affordable' brands the range of each product tends to be very small, however 2True have over 10 different Mascaras in their range to suit every need which is great! If you have read any of my previous posts where I talk about mascara, you will know that I don't usually get on with usual mascara and tend to opt for waterproof! Being sceptical of that when I first tried these Mascaras I found that they held a curl whilst lengthening and thinking lashes which is just what I look for in a mascara!  Also neither mascara flake or smudge meaning my lashes look the same at the end of the day as they did at the start!  The whole range of 2True products ca...

Makeup Routine | Updated

Image
Recently I was thinking about my blog and realised that this time last year, I had posted my 'Makeup Routine' (which can be found  here ). Since then some of the products I use have changed, some are the same and some, completely new!  In this post I will be sharing the products I use on a daily basis and how I apply them!  Base:  After applying my Vivo Primer all over my face, concentrating on my T-zone, I go on to apply foundation. Recently I have been loving the L'Oreal True Match Foundation  £9.99 , it leaves a natural look/finish to my skin, it's light weight and super blend able, I apply it with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush. Next I like to conceal underneath my eyes and have been using the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer  £4.19  for a while now, using it in the colour 'light' helps to brighten under my eyes whilst it conceals. I like to use my finger to blend the product in, as I've found this works best for me. Finally to set my foun...
