April Favourites 2014

Hi ladies! 

It's time for my monthly favorites post and I've loved a lot of amazing products these last few months but here's a few I really want to talk about. 

The Body Shop Blue Corn 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Mask - I used this product when I know my skin needs a deep clean, whether it's because I happened to sleep in my makeup after a night out or my skins is just feeling super awful. It's great for getting rid of flaky dry skin and gives me a super soft face! 

Sleek Brow Kit in Dark - I never really paid much attention to my brows, about a year ago I bought an MUA eyebrow pencil but never really liked it. Recently though I've decided that like filling in my brows and started using some eye shadow to do it. That then got me interested in brow products and after reading reviews after reviews I settled on the Sleek Brow Kit, as soon as I first tried it I knew It was love! I use it now in nearly every makeup look, whether its a dramatic brow or a more natural brow. Either way I love them :-) I definitely recommend this product!  

Urban Decay Naked 3 Eye Shadow Brush - This isn't my first Urban Decay Brush, I enjoy using the one I received with the Naked 1 palette but I really love this one in particular. I use it for both eye shadow and concealer. On one end you have a blending brush and on the other end you have a more smaller brush to use for precise application. 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - I've been using this foundation for awhile now, this is my second bottle. I love it because it's great for my dry skin, gives a lovely healthy look and a medium coverage depending on how you apply it. It's also a great colour match for me as it has a good colour range. 

Maybelline Falsies Mascara - For years I've used the Maybelline Colossal Mascara off and on, but I always heard how great the Falsies one was and when I got the chance to pick it up last month I did. I really love it, It's great. I still love the Colossal but for now I think I'll stick to this one. It's great for building up both volume and length. 

Rimmel Apocalips - Right now I only have the shades Nova and Big Bang but I'm hoping to get more :-) I absolutely adore these lip lacquers. They're so pigmented and smooth to go on. Big Bang is my favourite to use when I fancy a bright lip. I definitely suggest it to any red lipstick lovers out there. 

Roberto Cavalli EDP - I've loved this perfume since the moment I smelt it in store when It was released. It smells amazing and if you like white floral and/or oriental fragrances then I suggest trying this one out. 

So those are my favorites for this month! What were yours?

REVIEW - Urban Decay - Naked 3 Palette

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

Here's an exciting review that I've wanted to write since I bought this palette :-) 

Lately I've become obsessed with eye shadow palettes again and the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette is one of them! 

I don't own Naked 2 or Naked Basics but I do own the Original Naked palette (which I love) so I was wondering whether I needed this palette or not but one day after a bad week I went looking for something to treat myself with and noticed Debenhams had a 10% off fragrance and beauty. Including this palette. 

I spent a few hours on blogs and Youtube looking up reviews and everyone seemed to be in love with it and I adored the makeup looks people where creating with it so I decided to give it a go :-) 

The packaging is a lot different from the Original palette which I love because I hated the Original packaging. The letters on my original palette started peeling the day I got it! 

Apparently the packaging is similar to the Naked 2 but has a ripple effect and is a rose gold colour. 

The actual shadows all have a pinkish tone to it. Which I knew instantly I would adore. 

From Left to Right - 

Strange - Off White Matte Shadow 

 Dust - light pink with glitter particles

 Burnout - Pink Shimmer

 Limit - Muted Rose Matte 

 Buzz - Rose Shimmer with Silver Glitter

 Trick - Gold Shimmer with Gold Glitter

 Nooner - Pink Toned Matte Brown

Liar - Mauve Shimmer 

 Factory - Pink Toned Brown Shimmer

Mugshot - Taupe Shimmer 

Darkside - Grey Toned Mauve Shimmer

  Blackheart - Black Matte with Red Sparkles. 

I love every shade and use them all except for the glitter shade which is Dust as I really dislike how much glitter it contains and how it travels across the face. I'm used to have at least one shade from Urban Decay palette that are like that though so I'm not that upset as I know I'll use every other shadow.

Here's a look I created using some of the shadows from the palette....I don't know why I'm pulling that face....sorry! Hehehe!

You receive a free double ended eye shadow brush which is good quality and I use it frequently. 

 You also get a sample kit of four different Primer Potions. Yes, it's nice to try out a range of the line but I was slightly disappointed that they didn't give a mini sized primer potion like they used to do or a mini version of some other product. 

 I definitely suggest picking up this palette, like all the other Urban Decay Palettes I've tried, the shadows are amazingly pigmented and smooth to go on. 

You can buy the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette from Debenhams - Here 

Do you have the Naked 3 palette? What do you think of it?

Anti Valentines Day - Movie Night - EOTN

Hullo Ladies!

I've been playing around with my new Naked 3 palette these last few weeks and this is one of the looks I've been loving! 

I wore this look last Friday for an Anti Valentines Night in with a friend of mine, we ate Chinese food, watched some comedies and stuffed our face full of chocolate. An epic night in all honesty :-)

First I primed my eye lids with the Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer. Then I put Strange in the inner corner of my eye, the first quarter of my lower lash line and on my brow bone, I put Liar all over the lid and Nooner in this crease. Then I darkened the outer corner with Darkside and also used it on the other third of my lower lash line and blended . 

I used Soap and Glory Smolder Kohl to line my top and bottom lash line and Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara on my lashes. 

I'm in love with my Naked 3 palette already :-) 

Have you got it yet? Not gonna bother?

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?
