First off, Urban Decay ALWAYS wins at packaging, especially for their more colourful palettes, I just love the purple abstract art on the cover of their Shadow Box. I do already have a few of these shades. If you own the Naked Palettes, you'll recognise a few of the shades (Smog, Blackout, Baked Cowboy etc..) but to be honest, I just...

So first of all lets just clear up the fact that I found some cute purple flowers in vase in the house and went a bit 'blogger' crazy and had them in the background of the next million photos that you're going to see on my blog! But now that's cleared up...lets get back to the good stuff!
So I've been a lover of the original pro...

I've never actually thought to blog about anything but beauty on here, but here we go! I'm a pretty keen baker, and having The Great British Bake Off on Tv every Wednesday really brings it out in me! I thought I would share with you all what I made today. These are actually made from a recipe by the lovely Paul Hollywood *swoon*, and my...

Vital Stats
Colour: Fair
Brand: Sleek
Price £10
Bought from: Superdrug
This is a pretty old product now but I've rekindled my love for it so, since I've been getting a fair amount of use out of this as of late; I thought it would be rude not to give it a little review!
From the swatches, this little thing looks like Napoleon...

At the moment, these are the two exfoliators that I've been using to rid my face of all things nasty...as well as the odd patches of dry skin! First things first (I'm the realest) and secondly, pinning these two against each other, I probably have to say that I prefer the Vitamin C 'Microdermabrasion' exfoliator. The great thing about that one...

I've never really been one to use a shaving soap or foam (sorry not sorry...) but I had heard a few good things about this stuff, so when the lovely day that is pay day came around, I decided to give it a go, I was rather impressed!
This did make my legs (and everywhere else) much softer after shaving; adding the moisture back that...

I'm still really wanting to try a few new things for my skincare routine but as of now, this is what I'm using on ma face!
I start with my Garnier Micellar water and follow with The Body Shop Camomile cleanser, I've done a review of this cleanser, at the moment its one of my favourites, its so lovely and gentle!
Lush's Tea Tree Toner...

I'm really impressed with this spot treatment, I normally see products like this as being pretty useless and a waste of money as nothing I've tried has ever seemed to work for me. It's got great skin ingredients in it like tea tree oil and witch hazel, which is great for antibacterial and anti inflammatory work; which ideally is what a spot needs!...

This is a really lovely product. Obviously as it's a serum, it does have a pretty greasy consistency, but for me thats not really a massive issue as it's an overnight treatment so it's not as if you have to slap your makeup on top of a greasy film. I have slightly oily skin recently but I can't really say this oily product bothers me.
After...

This is one of those little luxurious that I keep in my bathroom cupboard, doesn't really do much; it makes my skin feel lovely, looks nice and shiny and blah blah...but oh my goodness the best thing, and the thing that jumps out to me is the smell! That's probably the best thing about this product. I only ever buy from The Body Shop in the sale...

I was debating on buying Mac Strobe Cream when I saw Lisa Eldridge use this in one of her videos and I had to give it a go for myself. I've used this all over my skin underneath my foundation, as well as adding it to the places on my face that I want to have a bit of a glow after I've finished applying all my makeup; such as my cheek bones,...

This was another gem I picked up for a crazy bargain in TKMAXX, at £2.99 I just grabbed it and ran to the tills. The colour is admittedly super dark for me, but I've got around that small bump in the road by using this for the times I want to use a cream contour. Its a really lovely creamy formulation so it blends like a dream, the finish is lovely...

I picked this up when I was disgusted that a concealer from Loreal was nearlly £10, since when did the high street get so expensive...!? Considering that Mac Pro Long wear is £17.50 *sigh*
But on to the nice stuff, I picked this up for only £1.99, so I really wasn't too fussed if I didn't get on with it well, but I was pleasantly surprised,...

I've had my eye on this palette ever since it was released last year, I just love the combination of colours! And as always with the limited edition Mac collections, the packagings fab! I do love Mac shadows, they have nothing on urban decay but I am a fan. As you can see from the swatches, the matte shades in this palette have...

I'm starting to sell a few unwanted makeup/skincare items on here so they're not so lonely sat in my bathroom cupboard! Everything is in perfect condition and mostly unused, I'm simply having a clear out! Go over and check it ou...
I'll start off by saying the best part of this palette is 100% the packaging, which to be honest is the main reason I bought this! I found this in TKMAXX and got it for a super bargain at just £5.99! Which for any eyeshadow palette is pretty neat, let alone a pretty high end one, I'd highly recommended having a snoop around...
RRP: £32.00
Colour: 02 (Pink undertone)
What Illamasqua claims: "Easily blendable, it effortlessly creates a perfect complexion, and like the entire Illamasqua foundation range, is undetectable in a professional HD environment. Suitable for all skin types, it smoothes, softens and conditions your skin whilst providing natural, buildable coverage."
I'm...
I took a little (massive) break from blogging but I've finally got my arse in gear and I'm going to be back for good *sings take that to myself* I'm not a professional and qualified makeup artist and I'm ready to build this thing up and start blogging again, I really do hope you've all been keeping well and thanks for still following! I've had...

So lets get started by stating the obvious, this stuff is so super gentle on your skin it's divine, so if a bit like me and tend to be a little sensitive to some harsh products sometimes, keep on reading! This cleaner is in the form of a really creamy, almost butter like formula that literally melts your makeup away when you warm it up with...

This week my favourite products are pretty much all makeup, surprise, surprise... but there are a few little other things thrown in. AND a £3 primer that you'd all be silly to not buy and try out for yourself, I'll be popping a review up of it later in the week! I'll also be popping a review on sometime soon of my new face cream, holy moly it's...
On my quest for the perfect 90's lip, I have finally found it!
I can't believe I have only just got round to trying Kiko Products, I'm so impressed with the stuff I have tried so far, I can't believe how cheap the brand is. They really are on to something good, especially with their lip products.Velvet Teddy from MACIt's a matte lipstick,...

These two are possibly my holy grail face duo, I love them! Paired together I get amazing coverage, and a gorgeous demi-matte finish (sorry blogger talk...not too matte, but not too dewy, natural!)
The great thing with Mac, particularly for us pale gals, is that the shade range is incredible and really is true to...
