BARGAIN ALERT!!! Wet N Wild Lipsticks

These are lipstick's that I have known about for a while however i haven't brought them because they aren't available in England. When i was browsing Amazon I found them for around £2.30 however with the postage it came up to £4.76. Whereas in America I believe the lipsticks sell for 1 dollar, which is such a great bargain. After watching many reviews and lip swatch videos I ordered 3 colours including Purty Persimmon, Sugar Plum Fairy and Cherry Picking.

 I am very impressed with the whole product however I believe in the colder months when your lips are very dry the lipstick can accentuate that dryness so i would recommend exfoliating the lips. However, these lipsticks have amazing pigmentation in them and have great staying power. Perfect on their own or with a lip gloss.

Splurge or Save: Eyeliner Pen

Splurge: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

I brought this eyeliner during the summer and i was amazing at the staying power. I have never been the best at applying eyeliner however after getting this eyeliner it has definitely improved it. When I started to try out the Soap and Glory i missed my Stila eyeliner for its fine tip and amazing staying power. This is one product I will keep buying for a long time because I haven't found anything better. This eye liner comes in 15 different shades so there is a colour out there for everyone.

Save: Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen Carbon Black Extreme

This is a great bargain for a good eyeliner especially as it is so easy to use. One of the main issues I had with the eyeliner is the fact that the carbon black color fades after a few hours. However, if you add a black eye shadow or pencil liner over the top the color lasts a lot longer.This has a great fine point which does allow you to create either a natural look or thicken the line up for a dramatic flash. You get what you pay for, although this is a bargain I would suggest spending more on eyeliner to get a better quality product.

Overall 

Brand:  Soap & Glory
Price: £6.00
Pro's: Easy to use for beginners and Price
Con's: Color fade's, One shade, Lasting power
Overall rating : 3.5*

I would definitely splurge on a liquid eyeliner pen as some of the cheaper versions don't have the lasting power or pigmentation.

I hope you enjoyed my blog and if you know of an amazing eyeliner please comment bellow.

Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow Review

These are great products i have used over the past 2 years and i have loved the eyeshadows staying power, vibrant colours and pigmentation. Below are pictures of the four gel eyeshadows i own. 

(Top) Metallic Pomegranate, Permanent Taupe (Bottom) Pink Gold, Eternal Gold

(Top) Metallic Pomegranate, Permanent Taupe (Bottom) Pink Gold, Eternal Gold

As you can see from the pictures, they are very much loved. i believe the pink gold is a great everyday colour for the lids and you can pop the Metallic pomegranate in the crease. The permanent taupe is a great favorite of Essie Button which is one of the reasons i grabbed it. It is amazing all over the lid during the winter months. Eternal gold is the one i haven't used the most probably because it is so pigmented and bright however it looks great in the inner corner and bottom lashes.

Boots and Superdrug have deals on most of the time such as 3 for 2 or buy 1 get one free, so you could get a great deal on these amazing gel eyeshadows.  I have used these over the past 2 years and they have really impressed me with the staying power and pigmentation. These are great dupes of the MAC Paint Pots, although i believe the Maybelline Color Tattoo's have much better pigmentation.

Overall 

Brand: Maybelline
Price: £4.99 (Bargain Alert)
Amount of product: 41 g
Pro's: Smooth Application, easy to blend, staying power, colour selection.
Con's: Hard to get product with fingers and if i use a brush i have to clean it straight after.
Overall rating : 5*

I hope you enjoyed my blog post and please let me know if there are other colours that i have to try.

First Impression of Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I got this product a few days a go and I wanted to write my first impression of the product. The product says it has 8 benefits in 1; Creates a natural glow, compliments skin tone, SPF 30, Hydrates all day, Blurs imperfections, oil free, looks visibly smooth and feels fresh. When applying the BB cream it felt very smooth to put on, I would recommend that when applying you use your fingers but the brush would pick up a lot of the product. After applying I did see that the BB cream looked very greasy on my skin, so I used a powder to take down the shine. I think the great thing about this product is that it was the same colour as my skin and complimented it very well, which is pretty hard because I have quite fair skin so I find most foundations and BB creams can be too orange for my skin.

I would say that it makes my skin look smooth and as I have some acne its nice for it to make that look smooth, but however it did not really blur my imperfections so if wearing this in the day I would wear concealer with it. I believe that the product only provides 4 out of the 8 benefits it promises which are that it creates a natural glow, compliments skin tone, SPF 30 and looks visibly smooth.

Overall 

Brand: Maybelline

Price: £7.99

Amount of product: 30ml

Pro's: This product just suit the colour of my skin very well instead of being too orange like other drugstore brands, it just give me a natural glow and smooths out my skin nicely. The product is very cheap considering the amount you get.

Con's: It does not blur imperfections as my acne was still showing and as soon as I put the product on it looked very greasy so you would have to wear a powder with the product. Another con would be that the product doesn't sell a wide range of colours, although my colour suited me, there aren't many darker shades.
