Collective Haul - Soap and Glory, Urban Decay, Maybelline Vivid's, Models Own + More

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

I went shopping earlier this week and bought a few lovely and exciting things that I thought I'd show you! 

I picked up my favourite hair dye in ASDA the LIVE Colour XXL in Red Passion, and they have the Health and Beauty Event going on at the moment so a lot of beauty products are on offer. I picked up the Tresemme Freeze Hold Hairspray for around £3, the Garnier Moisture Match Ultra Hydrating moisturizer for £3 and the Gillette Satin Care Touch of Olay Shaving Gel for about £2.

Next I went to Boot's and bought some Soap and Glory as they had a 3 for 2 offer running.

I picked of the Foam Call Body Wash which I'm really excited to try because I love the smell and I'm hoping to get better bubbles than the Sugar Crush Shower Gel. 

I also bought the Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner which I haven't heard much about to be honest but have always been interested in trying it. I can imagine that Soap and Glory would do an amazing Hair Care Range! 

I also picked up a Charlie Chic Body Spray as It was on offer and I like to keep them in my handbag for days when I don't feel like wasting my perfume. Smells lovely! 

As you may have noticed I caved and bought the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. All those beautiful swatches and eye looks bloggers have been posting lately made me decide to take the plunge. I withheld from buying the second palette and the basics palette but now I have the first and the third! I'm really enjoying it so far. I bought it from Debenhams.com and found a 10% off code on HOTUKDEALS. 

I also stopped in TK Maxx and found some Models Own nail polishes in Catherine Wheel, Indian Ocean, Sparkler and Utopia. 

Then back in ASDA I also found the only Maybelline Vivid's lipstick (from the line that was released in the UK) that I don't own in Hot Plum for £5!  I love it :-) 

The last two things I bought was these cute socks from Dorothy Perkins for £1.50 and a Sylvia Day book called Don't Tempt Me from ASDA. 

Have you bought anything recently? Have you caved like me and bought the new Naked palette?

August Favourites 2013

Hullo Lovely Ladies! 

It's the end of another month.

 I can't believe I'm gonna be 21 in a few weeks. I don't know whether to be excited or scared! 

Anyway...here are a few products I've been loving these last four weeks. 

Aussie Take The Heat Leave In Spray

I've been using this heat protectant for years, it's my favourite. It doesn't leave any greasy residue or leave my hair feeling heavy and I pretty sure it dose a great job keeping my hair from being badly damaged from heat tools. 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

I heard about this foundation for a long time before I actually bought it, I wish I had gave in earlier though. It's a great, long lasting high coverage foundation. I like to apply it with a beauty sponge or my fingers. 

Armani Code EDP 

This is one of my favourite all time fragrances, I stopped wearing it for a few months but now I'm just as obsessed. It's sexy, mysterious and the honey notes sweetens it up abit 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick - Bulletproof Beige

I bought this a few months back and forgot all about it but I've been using it as a base for my eyeshadow and it's worked really well. It's a great colour for your inner corner if your doing a golden eye look too. The only problem is I wish it was a mechanical pencil instead of having to sharpen it all the time. I always end up ruining them. 

L'Oreal Superliner Black Lacquer Liquid Liner

This is another product I bought about two months ago and I love it. It's a great liquid liner and I'd definitely buy it again as it lasts all day.

Models Own Smokey Eye Kit in Seduce

I reviewed this trio awhile back now and I've recently started using it again. These Models Own Eyeshadow are really good quality, very pigmented and long lasting. 

L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick - Impulsive Fuschia 

I only picked this up last week but I'm in love with it. It's a gorgeous colour with great pigmentation and gloss. It's beautiful on the lips and when it dries, it leaves an even stain on the lips. 

The Balm Hot Mama! Blusher

This blush is gorgeous, I won it in a Giveaway in March this year. It's a stunning colour and a quality product. So glad I got the chance to own something from The Balm. They seem like a great brand. I want one of their palettes next :-) 

Nails Inc St James Nail Polish

I've been loving red nail polish for the last few months and this month I've been wearing St James constantly. It's a true red and is extremely opaque and long lasting. 

Those are all the products I've been using frequently this month!

What have yours been?

REVIEW - Models Own- Smokey Eye Kit - Seduce

Hullo Beautiful Ladies! 

I'm doing a review on one of my favourite Drugstore eye shadow trios and it's from Models Own. 

First of all I find these eye shadows to be fairly pigmented and with an eye shadow primer they have great longevity. 

I believe the concept behind this is to make it easier for people to creat great smokey eyes :-) which is great as a smokey eye can be quite frighten for some people to do as it's easy to get wrong! 

I recently bought one for my mother as she freely admits she's clueless when it comes to make up. Usually I'm there to do it for her but for the times when I'm not this set comes in very handy! 

The first colour is a lovely gold that reminds me a lot of Urban Decay's Half Baked but not as fine. 

At first glance I thought the second colour on the top row was a deep chocolate brown but in fact its more of a mauve with lots of red and purple glitter running through it.

. The last shadow that's on the bottom row is a black with silver glitter. 

This pictures shows just one light swipe of each shadow.

From L-R: First two swatches are of the first row and the last swatch is of the bottom shadow :-) 

Hope that makes sense! 

Models Own Smokey Eye Kit in Seduce.

I notice a fair bit of fall out when using this set so make sure you're prepared for that, maybe keep a make up wipe on hand! :-) 

I bought this in Boot's and they had a deal going, buy two products for £10 so I bought this and a mascara but on there own the trio's are £8 each. Obviously you will be saving money if you waited for a good deal, which boots frequently give. 

At the moment they have an offer on their website, if you buy two Models Own products you receive a free gift! 

Hope you're all well! 

Thanks, Linzi xxx
