A Little Something Extra

I have never tried Make Up Forever products and I found myself really keen on trying out this palette. I first saw this palette on the Trendmood Instagram page, and when you first look at it, it does look a lot like the Kat Von D Metal Matte Palette. Whilst looking through the comments I wasn't the only one who thought this, and I was very interested in purchasing as I was intrigued to see how they compare. I bought mine off the Debenhams website whilst it became on sale for a limited 24hrs, and even better was that the site had 15% off Beauty so I got the palette for £34 instead of the £40. I bought this completely based on my own opinion because there weren't any youtube reviews on it, and no blog posts either so I had no idea about the quality. When I got the palette I didn't really have any thoughts on the packaging. I thought the holographic aspect was really nice, but that was it. The mirror as far as I can tell is just a standard mirror, it's clear...

I know this post is coming a little late, however, although I do have things in my collection I still need to review, I wanted to take a break from the review and haul posts for a while. I hope that my favourites will have a little more variety than other peoples posts, but we shall see. I will try and go in order of how I would apply my face. Primer: This is something new that came to me at the end of the year but I can already tell its a firm favourite. I was always using the Becca Backlight Priming Filter which I still love however it wasn't doing anything to smooth texture and minimise pores, so I decided to try out a Jeffree Star recommendation, the Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer . This really smooths out my skin and creates a perfect canvas for my foundation. This is, however, a little mattifying, so it makes dewy foundations look more like a velvet finish. Foundation: Now this is a tie between two oh so expensive, but worth it, foundations. The first foundati...

I have never previously owned any Huda Beauty makeup, but when I saw these were only £25 I knew that it wasn't a bad deal. The first palette that I bough was the Mauve Obsessions. i knew for building my kit I would need more natural shades, and brides tend to wear mauves on their wedding day. After receiving the palette I have to say I was shocked to see how small the palettes are. The amount of product you get is great for the price however it is a shock when you're a palette collector like me to see them fit in the palm of your hand. The palettes also come with a mirror so these will be great for on the go, and travelling. I know that I can just keep these in my kit and they won't take up much room.

When I saw this palette my jaw dropped. I loved the idea of having a larger pan for transitions. I was gutted to find out, however, that it was a morphe website exclusive. I would have thought it would become available on the BeuatyBay website but they have only decided to stock the rest of the Chrismas items and not this. I then went on the Morphe website just to see how it would be for shipping, and it was almost the same amount as the actual palette so, I decided not to get it. I later found out they had a dedicated website for the Uk, where it was free shipping over a certain amount, and that's how I finally got it. Being from an artist background, I love how it just looks like a paint palette. The possibilities are endless with this palette and I am super excited to start using it for myself and clients. Morphe has recently decided to rebrand so everything looks so much sleeker, and the colours even have names now. The palette is more expensive ...

If you saw my last blog post you'll know that I bought the Shade and Light Glimmer Palette by Kat Von D. The main reason why I wanted this so bad was because it claims to have 4 different finishes in one palette, and it also goes along with the first matte palette.  Can we talk about the packaging? The outside carton is so nice the way it shines in the light. The font is exactly the same as it is on the original shade and light, the differences are that the glimmer palette has the glitter accents, and the original has the gold and black lacquered embossed letters. The Glimmer palette has plastic packaging compared to the Shade and Light Matte Palette which has the cardboard packaging. I have to say I think that although the stand out letters looks really nice, I can't help but feel as if I like the cardboard packaging more. At first glance, you'd think it was the same palette, however, the finishes are completely different, and out of this word gr...

Debenhams is the only retailer in the Uk that stocks Kat Von D beauty products. Sometimes when something limited edition like the Saint and Sinner palette ill make sure I've saved money for it and purchase it from Sephora, however, when you know something permanent is on the line, and it's going to come to the Uk soon, I'll wait until it's in Debenhams. Something that I've wanted to try for a while are the Everlasting lip liners. They have been available in Sephora for quite a while and its taken months for it to become available over here in the Uk, so when I was browsing the other day and saw them, I knew I had to pick one up to test out the formula. Then that obviously led to me buying a couple of other things as well...oops.  I picked up the lip liner in the shade Lolita. I already own the liquid lipstick version of this and love it. I thought this would be a great everyday lipliner as it doesn't really need to be paired with the liquid lipstick...
