Some Natural Collection Goodies I picked up.

Hey guys,

So the boots beside me where having a 3 for 2 on Natural Collection Make up (The boots brand)
So I picked up a few things, I thought I'd share some of them with you. Also some of the items I already had.

So on to the pictures.

Loose Translucent powder. I love this powder I have gotten it a few times before, it is really lightweight and can be put over anything.

I had one of their blushes which I had depotted, Called Rosy Glow and the new one is peach melba.

These add a nice hint of colour without being to overpowering.

The Shadows are quite pigmented the Black I have had for a while I can't remember what it is called,

The silver is gorgeous it's called Moonshine. Can't wait to try this one out.

The Glosses are lovely, Not sticky as some glosses can be. I got caramel shortcake which I have worn every other day since I got it. Turkish delight which is similar to caramel shortcake but with shimmer.

All the natural collection stuff is like €2.99 so 3 for 2 is a great bargain.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Review Inglot Eyeshadows and the Freedom Palette

Hey Ladies, I thought I'd put up some swatches of the Inglot Freedom Palette Shadows.

First of all a word or too on the Freedom Palette themselves, They are Awesome, There are different sizes and shapes. You can get the pans in Circular (Similar to MAC) of Square (Larger amount of product)

You can check out there website here for Ireland and here the United States.

The shadows are really pigmented, I mean it is ridiculous they are similar to the Stila pans I got just after Christmas.

They have a range of different finishes too. 

When I made my trip to Inglot I made the mistake of having money with me, Wallet not impressed.

I got 2 5pan circular palettes at €22.00 each pretty reasonable based on their quality being amazing.

So here are the pictures........

I prefer matte shadows for during the day when I'm at work when I'm not at work anything goes lol. Shimmer, Sparkle, Ridiculously bright colours I don't care for work I mute them quite a bit.

The palette is quite slimline and can fit into my bag with ease.

If you are wondering why there are only 7 swatches, it is because Inglot is so awesome you can get other things for the palette as well.

So I also got an Eyebrow powder to match my eyebrows, I usually wear MAC Show stopper but I find it is a bit dark for during the day. This Inglot one is perfect.

A concealer, Now they have cool toned and warm toned ones which is great. I am warm toned an NW15, so I got the lightest warm toned one it is quite creamy.

And a Warm light pink lipstick . 

It is so cool that you can have these different items in the one palette. They also blend really well.

I love these. Love Love Love.

Thank for stopping by.

A Review. Gosh Eyeshadow Trio in Purple Dream

So I got this trio on my lunch break yesterday. Thought I'd try this out and see what it was like.

So on to the pictures......

From Left to Right Swatches no flash, Swatches with Flash, How the trio looks.

Top Left Light swatch no Base, Swatches with Flash on Neutral Base, Top Right Swatch with no Flash,

Bottom Left Swatch with Flash on a Dark Base, Bottom Right Swatch no Flash on a Dark Base.

Dark Base used Elf Studio Cream Eyeliner in Gunmetal

Neutral Base used Urban Decays Primer Potion

Thoughts: I like these, In the trio they look really chunky sparkle wise but they are definitely more shimmery than anything else, They are really complimentary to Green Eyes.

The dark purple is more blue than purple but is still very nice.

Thanks for stopping by.


    

A Review, Bourjois D'ombres À Paupières in 05 Vintage Rose.

Hey Ladies, I got this trio at a trade show a few weeks back and didn't really try until now, As well I bought all around myself. I thought the colours looked nice and figured what the hell.

The colours are nice but you really have to pack the colour on. I used a base and I still had to layer and layer it. A base is a must for these.

It is however small enough that you could carry it around with you in a make up bag without needing to bring bigger palettes or individual pots.

On to the pictures......

These were really packed on with my finger for this level of colour.

Same with these, I really piled it on.

I will use this probably here and there but I wouldn't buy it again.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Review: Elf Essentials Custom Eye Shadow

Hey ladies,

I got these single eye shadows from Elf and thought I'd review them for you. 

They are in 26mm pans so they will fit into a Mac Eyeshadow palette.

You can get small 4 pan palettes from the website that you can put custom blushes and lip pans into too.

The quality is so good on these, the colour payoff is strong and they are really cheap €1.70/£1.50/$1.00.

I have four, here are the swatches.

Ivory is a really good highlight and inner eye corner colour. 

The only small downside to these is fallout and that Elf don't have more colours in them!!!
