Revlon - Velvet Beige

Hey my loves :) So this is going to be a really quick little post about a new lip liner and lipstick i picked up a few days ago , called Velvet Beige 630 by Maybelline i also picked up the matching lip liner. I love this shade i think its a very everyday wearable colour , if i had to describe it i would have to say its like MACS "modesty" just maybe slighty more pink. Now the first is velvet Beige and the second picture is modesty just for comparison.    I swear they are different lipsticks seeing them side by side like this they almost do look the same but velvet beige is definitely more on the pinker side which i never thought i would suit but i think this is a perfect everyday colour for most skin tones. well that was short but sweet hope you enjoyed it  let me know what you think of these colours, if you love them, hate them or even haven't tried them. see you soon xox  

My re-introduction to MAC

Hi Ok so hey guys,  as you can see from the title this is my thoughts on my re-introduction to mac and the products!!  So why I swayed from using mac products for over 5 years!  Well at first I loved mac lipsticks, lip liners everything but my first hit was I found out I was pregnant,  with 1 child I could still afford my little luxuries,  but with 2 I knew it wasnt possible especially with both children still being quite small! Second reason was their foundation started breaking me out all of a sudden (maybe hormones) idk??  But also the lipstick formula just seemed to get crap....  So then I started on my hunt for drugstore foundations,eyeshadows & lipsticks that I felt where in the same quality that I was used too. So for years I have used revlon,L'Oréal, and mua and I still do but my main go to is now back to mac!!  They might not have changed their formula or anything but it just works for me know. I love it so my little collect...

30 Day Mascara First Impression

30 Day Mascara Ok so i have not been around in a while long story!! But this review is about the 30 day mascara , know this sounds amazing right? well think again unless you have very light eyebrows/eyelashes. Ok so this is how it came packaged You get an instruction leaflet , the usable products & a leaflet telling you about the product ingredients etc. This is all the products you get /need for the 30 day mascara , eyelash/brow brush , some under the eye papers , eyelash colour solution & eyelash colour gel , the only thing extra that you need is abit of normal face cream to put under the eyes to help the papers stick. Now i found this to be utter rubbish for someone like me who has dark eyelashes/brows anyway just bought it as i thought it might deepen the colour boy was i wrong it just made my eyes red and irritated. If you are very fair and have light brown hairs this would be perfect for you or even the mid brown they have but if you have black ...

Review On PoundLand Nail Polish & Swatches

Jess Nail Polish  Ok Hey guys , so as you can see this review is on Jess Nail Polish's , bought from my local pound land . I didn't specifically go in for these , just greeted me as i walked through the door! So normally i wouldn't buy anything in a brand I've never seen or heard from before, but this stand had some of the most beautiful colours i had seen but in reality i didn't need that many as i would be stocking up on the same colours just by different brands & as I've said I've never heard of them before so just a little taster. Ok so these are the names of 5 that i bought , x2 Tiger Lily , Madison , Swan Lake , Gloss Top Coat. So how they look on the nail , ease of application etc . Here come the Swatches !!!! Ok so the first i tried was "Swan Lake" This to me is almost a frosted blue and an almost sparkly finish which i adore! but upon opening the bottle you are hit smack bang in the face with that horrible nail polish s...

So we are into the first month of the year , well I say that it's nearly over and while some of us have been detoxing , dieting & generally trying to get things in order from the past year , I've been experimenting with different products to determine what's right & wrong for me for this year , with that ive come by my favourites for this month although some will probably be used throughout the year. So here we go ! First off hair .... (Left to right) Argan Oil hair shampoo , Argan oil conditioner, Argan oil hair mask & Argan oil heat protective spray.
