Fashionista custom palette...

I recently picked this little beauty up at Superdrug and I am so pleased I did!! The concept is much like any other custom palette; you pick four of the selection of either eyeshadow's or blushers which easily fit into the cute quad palette.

There are lots of shades to choose from and you can mix and match eyeshadow's and blushers.

I chose three eyeshadow's and one blusher the offer was four pans for the price of three plus the palette came free (you can pick either Black or Red) - which in total came to £12.

 I picked a pretty neutral palette which was wearable for everyday and buildable for evening.

The shades i chose were:

Eyeshadow:

24 - Brunette Bombshell

20 - Nude

40 - Auburn Glow

Blusher:

6 - Juicy Apricot

The products come individually like so:

They pop out very easily as above and pop into the palette without struggle.

The pigmentation is great and they blend lovely together. I plan to buy another palette and separate them and create a custom eye palette and blush.

I think this is just what a high street Drugstore like Superdrug needed - it feels like a luxury product when I get it out but at the fraction of a price!!

Has anyone tried this range and customised their own palette?

Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 palette...

This has been one of the best products I have ever purchased! I am so glad i invested in this! I originally saw these palettes in Superdrug stores but they had limited stock and didn't have the shades I wanted.

I was desperate to get my hands on these. I visited Sleek's website and found they had these in stock - "yey!!".

 The palettes are £10 each and are well worth it!!There are five palettes to choose from, I ordered two of these palettes:

The palettes I chose were:

367 - Lace

The shades in the palette are:

Crochet

Guipure

Chantilly

swatch:

My favourite is Crochet - which is a bold coral colour.

I also picked:

363 Pumpkin

The shades in that palette are:

Lantern

Squash

P Pie

Swatch:

My favourite is Squash - which is a pretty bright pink.

The pigmentation is amazing, the colour pay off is so strong and you can build up the colours as much as you want. I tend to blend a couple of colours together.

I think I may purchase a couple of the other ones available too for use on other people as I picked these to suit me.

I would recommend this product to anyone, and would definitely re purchase.

Has anyone tried these palettes in any other colour? If so what are they like?

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation...

I picked this foundation up as it was on offer at £6.99 at Boots (this offer is still available). I thought this was a great price for a foundation in general especially for Bourjois - I had read some mixed reviews on this but thought it may be a good foundation for everyday rather than a full coverage for night time.

I was pleasantly surprised! This foundation is fab, I use this everyday and it lasts all day long, the coverage is medium to full - but you can build up coverage without it looking too cakey. I feel more awake when i apply this!

The foundation claims to give a flawless even complexion for 16hrs, thanks to a new generation formula. 3 correcting pigments for zero imperfections: Yellow pigments: Anti dark circles, Mauve pigments: Anti dull complexion and Green pigments: Anti redness.

I chose the shade 53 - Light Beige.

As you can see from the picture above it blends well and it definitely lives up to its claims in my eyes. I guess everyone has different opinions but that's because everyone has different skin. I would recommend this foundation.

Has anyone else tried this foundation, if so what did you think?

L'oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick...

My previous post was on Revlon Lip Butters and I picked these up pretty much at the same time as them although I hadn't heard about these at all (shortly after L'oreal released an advertisement for these).

Loreal's answer to Revlon's Lip Butters??...kind of. These are marketed as a lipstick but I can't help feel they are slightly more angled towards a lip balm/lipstick. They are priced the same as the Lip Butters at £7.99 and are definitely worth a try. There is an offer at Boots at the moment where you can pick these up at two for £14 (or you can combine this offer with another product).

Here are two of the shades I picked up:

I have swatched these below:

I chose the shades:

03 - Lovely Rose

301 - Dating Coral

They are very pigmented yet are still moisturising. I had to try these, not only to compare them to the Lip Butters but L'oreal are one of my favourite brands - also I'm a sucker for new products!!

I was very impressed by these I loved the way they applied and I felt the colour pay off was brilliant. I liked the coral colour best and I wear this quite often - it's a lovely shade for summer!

So, what do I prefer Revlon Lip Butters or L'oreal's Rouge Caresse Lipstick? I feel the products are very similar but I'd have to say that L'oreal's lipstick lasts longer and feels more high end.

Has anyone else tried either of these and compared them?

Revlon Lip Butters...

It has been a while since my last blog, I feel like I have neglected something I love doing but I have been extremely busy with my job and applying for a new job etc so lots to catch up on!!

Here is one of the products I have been loving for the past few months....

The Revlon Lip Butters have been hyped up for some time by our friends across the pond in the USA. I (like many) totally got swepped up in this hype and was dying to get my hands on these!!

As soon as they were available in stores here I rushed to buy them. In total I have 6 shades as there was an offer at Boots which was 3 for 2 so in effect I got 2 free - bargain!!
These are £7.99 each usually which is pretty much the same as an average lipstick in Boots but i was happy to pay this especially with the offer.

These are the Lip Butters I chose...

As you can see I varied my choice of shades, there are 14 shades to chose from so no doubt there will be one that suits you! I have swatched them below:

Starting from the top we have:

055 - Cupcake

095 - Creme Brulee

025 - Peach Parfait

080 - Strawberry Shortcake

096 - Macaroon

015 - Tutti Frutti

If I had to choose a favourite it would have to be Peach Parfait as it was one that I thought wasn't really my shade but I tried it anyway and I really like it! The product is really moisturising and feels lovely on the lips.

All the shades a very wearable and more pigmented than I thought they would be. All in all this is a great product and I'm glad I purchased these, I would re purchase these again and recommend them to anyone.
