Product Review - e.l.f Studio Line Blush

As I'm sure you all know, I love affordable brands and one of those brands is e.l.f. For the price, the quality is amazing. 

The Studio range from e.l.f. is by far my favourite - the packaging is lovely and sleek and the quality of the products is wonderful - my favourite product from the line is their blushers, which I have four of - but I intend on getting more.

The quality and pigmentation of these is wonderful - they last a very log time on my skin, the colour is true to the product, the come off on the skin the same colour as they are in the packaging - they have a lovely smooth texture and as I have sensitive skin, you would imagine cheap products to irritate - but they don't which is great. 

The only thing I would say is that every blush above has some sort of shimmer to it but Mellow Mauve, which is a bit of a shame because I love matte blushes and as Berry Merry is my favourite - it would've been perfect if it had have been matte. But no matter - these blushes are affordable and worth the money so I would highly recommend these 

Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot

I bought this the other day because I have wanted for ages, or since when Gemma from Miss Makeup Magpie done a review on it and the other day when I was in town I called into benefit and I seen they had it on offer for £19.68 - a total bargain :)

I absolutely love this palette, everything about it is gorgeous, the packaging is study and lovely looking and the pigmentation of the products is amazingggg.

My favourite by of the new year so far :)

MIA and Shopping

I'm going to apologise for being so MIA lately, I've been so busy with tech everyday and working nights that I haven't had time to properly sit down and do a post - granted I don't really have the time at the minute to either, but I don't want to leave you guys hanging.

Plus... I have been doing quite a bit of shopping this past month - like, a lot. Especially in Boots and Superdrug... I'm addicted. So I thought I would share with you the items I have purchsed in the past few weeks, beauty and non beauty. 

 I intend to do a blog post about the make-up items quite soon and I'll obviously be going into a lot more detail as well so keep an eye out :)

Superdrug Haul

I love Superdrug, it's probably my favourite drugstore ever, they always have amazing offers which I just have to get. I did pick up a few items the other week so I thought I'd show them to you guys :)

I purchased the eyeshadow stick, bronzer and lip butter from Collection all for £2.50! They were on sale, I almost died. The eyeshadow stick is lovely, you can see a swatch of it below, it's really iridescent and helps to illuminate my tearducts and brow bone. The bronzer is also gorgeous - it has a slight shimmer and as it's a mosaic, it helps to add extra dimension with the different shades. The lip butter crayon is a really lovely plum colour, its pigmentation is lovely and it lasts quite a good few hours - all are brilliant for the price! I also picked up the Little Mix love eyeshadow palette for £3.99 and it is so nice, the shades are lovely and really pigmented.

There are 5 shimmer shades and one matte

Shade 2 - Radiant

Vanilla Sky 1

4 Perfect Plum

I then purchased another Revlon Colourstay Moisture Stain in 040 Shanghai Sizzle - it's a beautiful red shade, it's really glossy and moisturising on my lips, I love it. Plus it was on sale for £5.99! Bargain

:)

Small Haul

My intial plan when I went into town was to buy a new lipstick, just one... but my plan failed. With help from my boyfriend, who egged me on to buy things, I may have bought too much. The shops I bought from were Superdrug, Boots, TkMaxx and Poundland, we'll start with Poundland and work our way back. 

The reason I went to Poundland was because I really wanted a glass mug for the likes of hot chocolate and smoothies etc. and I seen this... yes it is a classic beer mug, but for only being £1, I had to get it. I will be using it for smoothies and what not because it is really quite awesome. I love it

Next I went to TkMaxx, I love there wee storage boxes and as I'm a huge book lover, when I seen these storage boxes I just had to get them, plus they were really inexpensive. The smaller one, Paris, was only £3.99 and I'll be using this to keep my passport and house kets etc. in. The larger one, Italy, was £4.99 and I'll be using that to store some of my make-up

And lastly I went to Superdrug and Boots. Initially, like I said before I just wanted to buy a new lipstick, so I went to Superdrug because they usually have really good offers, unfortunately I didn't see any, which sucked, but then I went over to Sleek and seen that their Lipsticks are only £4.99! I was really surprised and had to get one. I then went over to Collection and looked at their lip pencils and seen they have a really nice plum shade, which I've wanted for ages, and for only £2.99  had to get it. 

From Boots I got two Revlon lip products because they had an offer on, two lip or nail products for £10, and as I've been eyeing up their moisture stains, I had to get one and then I seen a really lovely matte red lipticks which would be perfect for autumn/winter.

5 Damson

788 Mulberry (Sheen)

005 Parisian Passion

006 Really Red (Matte)

As you can probably tell, I am preparing my lip products for the autumn/winter season, as it is only around the corner. Let me know if you've tried any of these products and what you think :)
