Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette




As it is coming towards the end of summer and entering into Autumn/Winter season, I thought I would just share with you one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes for the Autumn/Winter season, and it is the Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette. 
My mum got me this for Christmas and I love it. It has the perfect berry shades for the season and as all of the shadows are quite frosted/shimmery, it really adds to the effect. The pigmentation is also really good, as you would expect from Coastal Scents, and as I have green eyes, they berry tones really compliment them. I ll definately be using this most throughout the next season :)

Snow White and The Huntsman










I love this collection. My mum bought me it for Christmas and even though it looks like I haven't been using it very much, I have used it quite a bit. It's the perfect palette if you want to create a nude eye look. 
The collection consists of 6 eyeshadows, 3 shimmer and 3 matts, a black eyeliner pencil and a red lipstick. The shadows are lovely, they're not chalky and have really good pigmentation and the shimmer isn't too much it's just slight which is also very nice. 
The eyeliner is just a simple black liner - it's smooth and has good pigmentation also.
I love the red lipstick, it's the perfect shade for a Snow White inspired look, it's also very smooth when applied to the lips, it has great pigmentation and it also smells quite nice. 
The packaging is also really nice - it's very simple which the apple on the front, the colour are also very nice I love the red, black and white theme that goes throughout and overall it's just a really lovely collection and I love it

Product Review - NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Colour

 



Everytime I go to buy one of these products, theyre always on sale, which is why I love Superdrug. They must see me coming! I love these products. I honestly don't have a bad word to say about them, I will say though that their lasting power isn't the best but not the worse, which I don't mind because it doesn't bother me having to reapply, it's no hassel. 
I love the fact that for the price, which is at most, £2.99, but on sale they're only £1.99, they're really good. They smell lovely, kind of like vanilla or something like that, the texture is really smooth and goes on really evenly and the pigmentation is wonderful. 
The three shades I have are: 031 Gramercy Park Plum. 030 Metropolitan Mauve. 010 Nolita Neutral
So for only a few pound each, they're fabulous, I intend to buy a lot more of these, especially coming into winter :)

Vaseline Essential Moisture



This is my go to moisturiser everytime I get washed, or even if my skin's just feeling a bit dry or looking a bit dull. It is really moisturising and leaves my skin feeling soft for quite a few days and it also smells amazing! I cannot stress enough, how good this smells. I love anything that has cocoa and this is no different, granted the smell doesn't last as long on my skin, but I don't really mind that as I like to wear body sprays and perfume and what not.
The one I have is actually the mini sized version, it's 200ml, there is a bigger bottle but I'm not sure how many ml's it is, and there is also the spray version. I picked the smaller one up as it was on sale in Tescos, plus I don't trust the spray version, I don't understand how a spray on moisturiser, can actually moisturise your skin, I need something more concrete like a liquid moisturiser. 

Overall, I love this product, it does what is says on the tin so to speak, it smells devine and it's a bargain

Product Review - Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer



I love the brand Bourjois, I love their foundations, primers, bronzers and lipsticks, but I've never tried any of their concealers and as I've heard good things about the foundation version of this concealer, I thought I'd try it. 
I'm on the fence, there are things I like and things I dislike, nothing too major to be fair but still. 

What I like...
I like the packaging of the product, I love the red, granted there is a lot of writing on the packaging but yet it doesn't look crowded or a mess. 
I like the consistency of it. At first it looks rather thick, but once you start to blend it in it goes on really smooth, it's not cakey at all and it very easy to blend. 
I like the fact that it hid my blemishes well and it didn't take much product to do so. 

What I dislike...
I don't like the smell. I know it has the whole fruit therapy thing going on, but it smelt like artifical fruit so it wasn't very nice at all.
As I said before, it hid my blemishes well, but it didn't hide the redness. The redness still shone through the concealer which I didn't like. It hid my spots, but not the redness... weird.
It's not good as an under eye concealer, as it is a bit thick, I noticed it really clung to the small lines around my eyes especially when I smiled it was very noticable.
I also dislike the applicatior, it does get quite messy - I would've preferred if it had a brush or sponge tip applicator to make the process easier and less messy.

Overall I do like this product, but I don't know whether I would purchase it again.

Product Review - Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer



This is my holy grail product. I love it, not only is it great at concealing my under eye circles, it's great at illuminating the area and highlighting it. Unlike the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch concealer, this makes my under eye area and any other area which I use it, such as my nose and cupids bow, a shade lighter than my foundation which I love! That is what I would expect from a highlighting concealer, and this one does it wonderfully, my favourite concealer for this by far!

Do you recommend  any concealers that are great at highlighting that I should try out?
