fashionista maxi moisture lipsticks ♥

Hey loves, 
L/R - style transformation, perfect fit, touch up, style guide, how do i look?
the packaging of these lipsticks are beautiful, i love lipsticks that come in the boxes but im also not the type of girl who keeps them in the box either, they have a vanilla scent and for something that is called maxi moisture the pigmentation isnt all that bad. they have been none to end up on my chin by the end of the day but honestly most lipsticks that are moisturizing slip down on me, the colour pay of is the right amount for a day time look, yes granted style transformation may be more of a autumn/winter lipstick but its not that bad considering i got these for 50p each from fragrancedirect.. 






P.S. you will notice below that my blog has changed slightly.. ive decided to go for something a bit more knowing to me. i sign near all my texts with Kisses, Tracey x so why not bring this to something i love? the pictures will also alter too with @kissestraceyx but for now since i already had the photos edited they are going to stay the same. i hope you dont mind! i love you all spread the love with #kissestracey :)

fashionista custom blush collection ♥

Hey loves,


Today im going to be showing you some of my newest editions to my makeup bag/drawers. the thing with me is i have a ton of blush and lipsticks they are the only thing id switch up a silly amount of times a week! honestly im known for switching blush and lipstick daily.. 

these i got for 50p from fragrancedirect (haul post here) i was planning on getting them from mua when they had them as a extra on there website but time got away from me and before i had the chance they was gone. 

the packaging is amazing so slim and compact, no extra packaging just the simple sqaure. i love the fact i can get the cases and add them to that if i wish which in the long run ill properly end up doing but for now there all looking at home in there own section in the blush drawer. i didnt just get these 3 shades. i got them all! 

for anyone that doesnt know the pan pops out and can be slotted into a case that is made for them from fashionista available on ebay.

L/R - new york, london & milan.

while i have a ton of blush i always go for more blushes like this. there baked so have a beautiful sheen which i have tried hard to capture on picture. i dont like a ton of colour on my cheeks since im known to be heavy handed with these sorts of things. specially if im getting ready at half 5 in the morning which i do often.. not in the last few months but its been known to occur more than once.
My personal favouite is new york - not just because of the name - since it gives a lovely rosey peach glow without looking over done! perfect for them days where im being pushed out the door before i've got my knickers on.

collection eyes uncovered nude palette ♥

Hey loves,


i love me some affordable makeup, ive made no secret about it, so when i was browsing boots a few months ago and spotted this for £2.99 on offer i couldnt say no and keep walking. The packaging is cardboard and slim yet very sturdy perfect for travel aswell as in the house use, it does come with one of those silly alicators that i personally dont use but hey they might work for some people. 

L/R - white chocolate, buttercream, biscuit, chocolate milk, brown sugar, espresso
As you can see the pigmentation isnt that fabulous but considering that this is without primer im not bothered, they last along time with and without primer and i dont get much if any fall out from the darker shades, over all there pretty easy to work with and all the colours match to make a effortless look for day to day or the darker shades for nights.

collection gorgeous glow - blush block ♥

Well, Hello loves,

its been an eventful few months with me moving and what not and the last week has been one big event from the beginning but it is sunday 2nd and im getting back on the ol' blog business with a few tweaks coming soon.


i brought this about 2 months ago and was super excited to try it.. i actually wanted to buy both but my boots didnt stock the gold one (odd!) the packaging is super cute and i like that i can see through the lid, i guess it can be easy to break but i haven't had any issues yet.. 


when all mixed together it gives a pretty peachy-pink sheen to the cheeks with a gold shimmer. it can be pretty heavy on the glitter if your not using a stippling brush.. i use a small elf one which i now wish i stocked up on. its hard to catch on camera the true prettiness of it but i thought i did pretty good on catching the gold?..

have you tried these? what do you think?

collection pump up the volume mascara ♥

Hello loves, 


Today i am reviewing a mascara. This one i got from ebay around the time i got the collection does it all one, the reason being i liked the shape of the tube.. thats a normal reason to buy a mascara right?

the way the tube looks is eye catching to me, the black and bright yellow is just pretty (oh btw im looking for a bright yellow nail polish! suggestions?) 


i clearly got this is blackest black as i do with all mascaras! the brush on this is curved as you can see and it creates a soft curl as well as volume to the lashes, its a bristle brush which i dont normally like. This mascara is horrible unless you curl your lashes before and after applying, you will also need to watch out for clumps because to much and you end up with spider legs for eyelashes! not appealing is it really?

collection does it all mascara - black ♥

Hello Loves,


As we all know i very rarely switch out my mascaras or buy new ones, its the one thing that slips my mind where makeup is concerned and unless it gets really dry ill continue to use it until the end of time - ofcourse this isnt possible but you get my point right?

collection have come a long long way since they was collection 2000 dont you agree? the packaging has come on in leaps and bounds they changed the old boring basicness and added a bit of pop to the tubes to make it eye catching. ofcourse the packaging is really pretty, the colours make me happy which is always a good thing and for a £4.99 mascara its fabulous.


the brush is a rubber bristle brush which isnt my first choice i find i poke myself in the eye with them more often than not, but the brush is really easy to control, with the little ball on the end i can get really close to the tear ducted lashes with out getting it all other my nose too which is a bonus, it gave me a little bit of length, and alot volume, i found i needed to curl my lashes to really enjoy the finished look but thats not a huge difference for me since the only time i dont is if im in a hurry and if im in a rush i just wont be using this mascara not a huge biggie. The only bug bare for me is as i explained i forget to buy mascaras and this is one that drys out pretty darn quick, if it wasnt for that it would get 10/10 but when its dry it flacks, it smudges and just ends up being a hot hot hot mess! so for that reason alone its got to be 8/10.

any mascaras that i should try?
