Make Up Revolution blusher - love ♥

Hey loves, 

makeup revolution took the beauty world by storm last year when they arrived on the sence and started a battle of the affordable brands with MUA, they done good really since MUA got a bit stuck in the mud and needed that shove to release new items. 

Everyone assumed that MUA & MUR was in some way related or the same company, it turns out they was created in the same hands apart from MUA was a joint brand with someone who brought the MUR creator out, but MUR was invent by him alone (ive spoken to MUR pr people for this information darlin) 

i personally prefer the MUR blusher packaging, it just feels more sturdy rather than flimsy and it clips shut! win win, and im kinda a bit on love with the writing shade (rose gold - HELLLOOOO!) and i prefer the circle rather than rectangle swings and roundabouts but it all matters really doesnt it? 

the shade is MATTE! HALLELUJAH!! i love matte blushes so i can add my own highlight if and when i need it/want it.  the shade is a soft coral perfect for this time of year and looks beautiful on pale skin like mine. It can get quite powdery if you get to much on your brush but its opaque enough to only need a tap into it.

for £1 its fabulous

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Wear Berries! ♥

Hey dolls,

Essence came across the pond last year and since their arrival in wilkos i have come to love the brand for lipsticks, lip pencils, lip glosses, oh hell everything lip related since thats all ive tried so far! Essence has 2 different types of lipstick - the original and the long lasting i haven't tried the original so i cant compare but if you have please let me know down below ill be intrested in your thoughts. 

the packaging of the long lasting lipsticks is really simple but beautiful none the less, im come to enjoy simple black with a little hint of colour recently and this is no different. 

The finish of this lipstick is slightly more matte than the picture is giving off and it sticks around alot longer than most lipsticks of this price range too. the shade is a berry pink which as we all know i enjoy alot! it does give of a slight gloss but not something id be worried about when my hair is down, its a creamy texture rather than a hard to work with formula and since buying this i now have 5 of them, really worth the £2.40 in my opinion.

in the picture above it is only one swipe and can be built up to the full opaqueness of the bullet if desired, this does stain the lips so fades beautifully through out the day.

any shades you have tried and recommend? 

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?
