Brand Review - Technic










I'll be honest, I've never heard of this brand before and I only came across it because my work decided to bring in some make-up to help boost sales, and this is the brand they brought it. So far, I've been pleasently surprised, when I swatched the shadows on my hand while I was in work I was shocked, the pigmentation is wonderful and so are the colours in general, I will say though that the shadows may be a tad chalky, and I would guess that there would be a lot of fall out during application, but I don't mind that. For £1.80, what more could I expect? There were three palettes available, Nude, Bronze and Smokey; I got the nude and bronze because I don;t really wear grey/black smokey eyes so it would have just been a waste but so far I'm loving the palettes that I did purchase. I will say though that I would have preffered if the Nude palette had one matte colour as the Bronze and Smokey palettes did, but no matter.
For the nail polishes - I was immediately drawn to this colour, it's in the colour Indian Ocean and to me, it really does look like the perfect colour to represent the Indian ocean. I also love the fact there are two ends, it really adds the polish and I just couldn't help but by it, plus it was only £2.00! bargain! There were four of these polishes in total, but the others didn't really catch my eye, but considering how lovely this one was, I may just have to get them anyway!

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
