New Makeup Goodies


Hello angels ♡ 
There have been a few bits & bobs that I have needed to replace lately, makeup wise. The first thing I am going to talk about is the product I did treat myself to, or should I say Boots treated me to! 2 Loreal Paris products for £14? Yes please. I dived straight in and got a fab bargain which made me happy last week hehe!


This is the eyeshadow palette...that I didn't need... (woops)! It was so pretty thought couldn't resist, and for such a good price to. The colours are beaut! Can't wait to play with it and post up YouTube tutorials :) x

L'Oréal Paris La Palette



Now this was something I desperately needed to replace..my bronzer! The Topshop one is near as dammit run out and because I would give it only about 6/7 out of 10 I was aiming on not getting the same one again. I was looking at Bobbi Brown but again, Im trying to save my money so didn't wanna splash out! I said to myself, "Don't get a bronzer over £20" !! This was included in the 2 items for £14 so wooopeee!

L'Oreal Glam Bronze Duo Sun Powder Brunette


It has two levels in it, the lovely colours at the top which can be mixed for an overall coloured bronzer, or the lighter shade can be used for highlighting the cheek bone, and then the brown shade for bronzer, which I think I will do :) and under the powder is a mirror with a brush, dunno if I will use the brush tho, not a big fan of the tiny useless ones that come with these products! :p


I was keen on getting a proper highlighter for the T zone area of my face, to add a bit of glam & shine :) I can across this on Revolution Cosmetics and was only £2...insane! great reviews I just couldnt say no, now I use it all the time! adds the perfect amount of shimmer to your face :)
The other product is also from Revolution, now this is a dark brown eye shadow, however I use it for a lot more other things! I use it for my eyes and eye brows, also as a bronzer. I only use this when I am tanned because it ads a nice dark edge under your bronzer :) Oh and did I mention it was only £1?


Because I was mind blown by the price of the Revolution products I got a full face powder and concealer. Here is my new powder in Porcelain and my new Foundation which is called Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in shade 53 - from Feel Unique. This is such a beautiful foundation, goes on lovely and smooth, great coverage and feels light on the skin, the colours is also the perfect shade and adds a creamy brightness to my face :)



The last few items, Revolution Focus & Fix Concealer in Fair and my Estee Lauder Lipstick in 54 Passion Fruit Shimmer. These are fab buys, the concealer is amazing, lighter than my foundation which i love because when dabbed in using my real technique contour brush it adds alot of highlight under my eyes - which I need a lot of due to the winter, early mornings!  
The lipstick is really nice, not thick and bold, it is lovely and thin and adds glitter to the lips which is cute :) x

W7 / Urban Decay


Okay so we all know how amazing the Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palettes are...every girl has to have one, it's an essential in the makeup world, or is it? I have wanted one for a while, however £37 for a few eyeshadows is to me quite a lot! I love a bargain where the product looks more expensive than what you paid for it.
So here is an example of a NAKED Palette, beautiful colours I know :)


 However I was browsing online and reading different reviews on similar looking eyeshadow palettes and not many cought my eye...I then went onto amazon and discovered W7, the 4.5 and 5 star reviews were endless! Most saying how similar it is to the Urban Decay Palettes but the only difference is the price.


 I decided to give them a go, I got the W7 Eye Colour Palette "In the Buff" & Smokey Shades "In The Night"  
Excited to see what they are like. They came quickly and I dived straight in and experimented with the colours and what different looks they made. The shades are beautiful in both palettes, very similar to NAKED Urban Decay.


 The pic above shows the Natural Nudes In The Buff shades and as you can see I have a varied amount of colours for the more natural makeup looks. This palette is now used every time I put my makeup on!! It stays on all day, I was pleasantly surprised! :)  

They both came with brushes btw, all my makeup brushes are currently washing in the sink lol!


This is the Smokey Shades palette, aren't the colours lovely?!
Now... you are probably wondering, so? how much are they?! The Urban Decay eyeshadows range from 27-37 pounds. These are only £7 on amazon!!! and on their original site, £9. Don't believe me? check it out for yourself :)
I hope I have helped you save money, I definitely did! :)
