Welcome to my Best in Beauty round up for 2015. 2015 has been a pretty successful year of new beauty discoveries with lots of beauty products put through to the test and many gems unearthed as a result. There’s only a few beauty products from last year that have made it through to the final cut this year including one product that I managed to forget to mention only because I had…
Following on from my review of the BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel 14 Color Eyeshadow and Highlight palette, it’s only right that I show you the palette in action so you can see for yourselves. Using the warm gold, copper and bronze eyeshadows in the palette, I’ve recreated more of a ‘traditional’ festive look of gold eyes paired with a strong, bold, red lip for a New Year’s Eve party inspired…
Carli Bybel is one of the latest beauty Youtubers to collaborate with a cosmetics brand (BH Cosmetics) to produce a limited edition 14 Color Eyeshadow and Highlight palette. I’ve watched Carli for a while now and it’s clear to see that she genuinely loves the BH Cosmetics brand so a collaboration between the two seemed natural. BH Cosmetics is not so readily available over here in the UK, however, I…
In this week’s tutorial I decided to create a bit more of a dramatic look, a metallic green smokey eye, perfect for parties, a Christmas party perhaps with it being the festive season and all, or simply a night out with friends. I wanted to also have a play around with the more bolder colours of the new Makeup Geek Duo Chrome eyeshadows, namely Ritzy, a warm red-brown base with…
Whilst this time of year gives us lipstick lovers a great excuse to wear a dark, bold lip all day, everyday, in reality, it’s probably not practical. At least for me, it isn’t. I mean who can be bothered to keep checking whether your lipstick isn’t smeared half way across your face whilst in a client meeting or whether it’s managed to manoeuvre it’s way onto your teeth whilst you’re…
I was recently asked whether I would like to try the Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation. I’ve seen via the likes of Lisa Eldridge and Tanya Burr just what the foundation can do and to be honest, it’s not a product I would have even thought about ever using as quite frankly, and not to toot my own horn, but I think I have rather good skin. On most days. And this isn’t me bragging, but me…
Morphe Brushes are one of, if not, my favourite brand of makeup brushes. They produce an extensive range of brushes from face through to eyes (as well as some great eyeshadows too) that are not only great in quality, they are extremely affordable too so they are accessible to the masses. They only issue is that they aren’t so readily available here in the UK but one or two websites such…
Makeup Geek came out with a bunch of new products recently that it was almost too hard to keep up. As if the Duo Chromes weren’t enough in themselves, Marlena and her team decided to unleash twenty new matte eyeshadows to the Makeup Geek collection. TWENTY! Needless to say, there was some shopping to be done (all in the name of reviewing product of course). I picked up six of…
A few weeks ago, I was lucky to get my hands on the Colour Pop Super Shock Eyeshadows thanks to my cousin who had ordered it pre my arrival to the US back in September. I have been hanging onto these but I’ve finally decided to share my love for them in this tutorial. They are so unique in texture, not quite a cream but certainly not a dry powder.…
I didn’t actually ever think that this day would come (yes, ever so dramatic I know). I have always wanted to film a skin care routine and it’s not just me, but a few of you have asked to see it too so the pressure was on. As you can imagine, filming in the bathroom isn’t the most practical of things that one can do. Plus, there’s the added issue…
So after around a year since it first made it’s launch in the US, Maybelline have finally decided to bring the highly anticipated (for us UK beauty bloggers anyway) Colour Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks across the big ol’ pond. Coincidently, I was holidaying in the grand US of A only a few weeks before the launch not realising at the time that the launch was about to happen, so admittedly…
So this video follows on from my swatch and review video of the Morphe Brushes 35O Nature Glow eyeshadow palette. It is a rather deceptive palette because at a quick, initial glance, the palette looks very warm, with the bold matte oranges, and the more softer peaches, camels and tan transition shades making a strong, united presence. However, if you had seen in the video (or are owner of the…
Please be warned, this is a huuuuuuge beauty haul. I was in the states recently so that’s pretty much how I have justified it. Most of the products are not available here in the UK – nuff said. Watch out for reviews on my blog or on my channel in the very near future, and with absolute certainty, you’ll be seeing them in action on my channel. I hope you…
So not content with picking up the Morphe Brushes 35T (Colour Taupe) eyeshadow palette recently, which I reviewed here, I had my eye on the much warmer, older sister, the Morphe Brushes 35O (Nature Glow) eyeshadow palette for some time. But typically, due to popular demand egged on by the heavy weight Youtubers, the 35O palette had been sold out for weeks, pretty much from the moment it launched. I wait…
This palette is so god damn beautiful (see my review of the 35T palette here with swatches of all 35 eyeshadows) that I just had to film another look with it (see my earthy, neutral green eyed look here) and it’s another very autumnal look but this time using more of the olive green and muted gold tones from the palette, teamed with a deeper, matte berry lip. Products featured in…
