SPLURGE: YSL Perfect Touch Foundation Review

(DISCLAIMER: I have not been sponsered by YSL to right this review and this review is based on my experience with this product also I have combination to normal skin, this may or may not work on other skin types)

Hi everyone I recently bought this foundation form YSL and all I can say about it is SPLURGE! 

I admit it, I do like to spend a bit of money on makeup because of the high status brand but undeniably I still love the good old drugstore. Anyway onto the review, I actually binned this product because I finished it so I don't know my exact shade but I was probably the lightest colour (just found out im 001 Ivory).

PACKAGING: The packaging of this product is awful, I much prefer a glass bottle with a pump. Although this product is good for me because I'm always on the go, the packaging is durable and easy to chuck in your bag. The only thing that I'm undecided about this product is the way you apply it, it comes with a built in brush which is incredibly soft and amazing when your on the go but it isn't the most hygienic thing to use on my skin in addition to that my skin is very sensitive so it can sometimes create problems for my skin. Also I find it very hard, almost impossible to wash the brush because I always seem to ruin the product or the brush starts to misshape or fray. I did have to cut the packaging open to get the excess foundation out but there wasnt much in there which broves the brush mechanism works :)

PRODUCT:  THIS FOUNDATION IS AMAZING! Yes there's nothing much else for me to say, I don't usually go for the matte look because it can look 'made up and un-natural' but this foundation just literally looks like my skin. YSL are famous for there ingenious products such as the 'infamous' Touche Eclat and rightly so, they spend time creating there products thats why they are truly one of my favourite brands. The consistency of this foundation is smooth and light, not heavy at all. It was easy to apply and did not come out  patchy at all, it gave me a flawless finish and looked natural. One of the downfalls to this product is that it took about 10-20minutes to set into my skin so if your on the go and you want a natural look this might not be a good option for you, on the other hand it is good if you want a uniformed look that will take you two minutes to do and you dont mind that it dosn't look as natural as it should. Also this product claims to 'look radiant', 'deliver a flawless finish' and 'allow easy application' and to be honest this product pretty much does what is sais on the bottle.

PRICE: I think this product isnt that expensive but it's in my splurge collection because i seriously didnt need it I just wanted it. Anyway this product is priced at £25-£34 which in my eyes is average and affordable for a high end foundation such as this. This product is 1.3oz so it is tottaly afordable for me! 

Packaging: 6/10

Product: 9/10

Avengers Assemble Review!

Oh my gosh, I have been waiting to write this for like forever! I have given most of you readers time to watch it and now here are my thoughts!

*WARNING!* Some spoilers ahead!

My thoughts,

This film is freekin amazing, I went and watched it the day it came out and it was like Harry Potter all over again, the Cineworld (cinema) was packed with Avengers fans (including ME!). The film really does climax and the tension grows throughout the film, The imagery is amazing but the story can tend to be a bit 'slow' at the beginning. Everything about this is amazing, but a warning to all barbie pink, romance lovers you will hate this, my friends walked out of the cinema. Isn't that is totally illegal, I mean its only the best film ever - they quoted "its so boring, all of that fighting and supernatural stuff". I know they are so stupid! Anywhere there I was sitting alone again... ok enough about me. I have to commend the actors (CHRIS HEMSWORTH ❤)  they took on the challenge and without them this film would not be as spectacular as it was. Before I carry on Robert Downey Jr is so funny he acted so casually while his world was literally dying/being attacked! Uhhh it was amazing!  

My favourite character,

By far it has to be The Hulk he is totally amazing, there is a part in the film when Loki (the bad guy) starts giving Hulk a little lecture and Hulk grabs Loki and starts throwing him around it was so hilarious. Hulk in his human and supernatural form are as funny as each other. The only part I didn't understand was at first he couldn't control his anger but near to the end he had suddenly learned how to... weird I know (I am little bit picky). All in all I love all the characters and I think Scarlet Johansson did an amazing job and she proved me wrong because I thought she only suited romance film.

Summary,

Honestly I watched it 3 times now and I just cant wait till its on Blu-Ray and DVD. You probably guessed that I am a HUGE fan, I have been watching the cartoon for ages and wishing for a film and I guess it came true. If most of you readers waited till the end (after the casting ect..) you will have seen a small clip hinted a sequel to this amazing film. I CANT WAIT! =) Thats all I can say,  I loved the film and I just had to express that with all of you.

Pür Minerals Inspire, Reflect & Celebrate palette Review - Better Than The Naked Palettes?

Hi everyone!


First of all sorry for the long post. So judging by the title of this post your all probably cursing me! I know that a lot of you swear by the urban decay naked 1 & 2 palettes but in my honest opinion I find a lot of the colours too shimmery and not suitable for everyday wear. Don't get me wrong for the colours your getting in the naked palettes the price is reasonable but I just find this a bit better.

What you get,

- 15 highly pigmented eye shadows

   6 matte shades and 9 shimmer/shine shadows

- A free booklet sowing you examples of easy looks to achieve at home.

- Easy to work with blend-able shadows.

- 15 wearable colours.

- Great dupes fro UD naked palettes and MAC shadows.

- price ranges from £20 to £27 available at QVC and the Pür Minerals website.

This palette contains three sections;


 Inspire - filled with cool greys, whites and blacks, Reflect - 5 gold/brown warm sparkly colours and Celebrate - 5 shadows consisting a fun bright green an off yellow colour and three matte and shimmer browns. It is meant to take you through from day to night. This palette is a universal skin tone palette so it is amazing on everyone! The actual shadows are minerals that means they wont harm your skin because they are made of natural substances, they do not contain harsh chemicals which will harm sensitive skin like mine.

3 looks from each section,

Inspire:

Reflect:

Celebrate:

And her is the little booklet you receive with your product,

Here are my favourite 5 colours:-

L-R= Olivenite (my top fav colour ever), Gold dust (woodwinked MAC dupe), Spiced Mica, Chocolate Topaz, Burgndy Malachite.

And finally her is my other palette on the left from last year I've only hit pan on a couple of colours and I use this every day;

Product Summary,

Round Up - An amazing palette for everyone

Best For - Everyday/bridal/travelling palette

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

Hello Everyone!

So today I am reviewing the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Rosy Dream (109), these are supposed to be Maybellines answer to Revlon lip butters but I have this lipstick for over 6 months so I guess everyone's mistaken.

I found this lipstick to be very moisturising and glides on well, I was expecting a wearable baby pink but it just was not working! The colour is too Nicki Minaj, don't get me wrong, I love her but its too over the top! Besides the colour the actual lipstick texture is amazing! It is very smooth and nourishing just the way I like it. It lasted for about 5hours (no drinking or eating) which is pretty good for me. The packaging is very much like the Revlon lip butters, It has a very iridescent pearly pink finish which means it is from the shine collection, a classic cut and it looks high end which is always good! :) There is also a brown packaging which means it is from the pearl collection!

Product Summary

Round Up - A great lipstick for those of you who love pale pinks

Best For - The colour pay off isn't the best so in this instance it is suitable for very pale skin tones.

Pigmentation - (6/10) 'In the middle' pigmentation.

Availability - Selected Superdrug and Boot stores and via Maybelline website - £7.19

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick In Candy Mist Review

So let me get this straight, I hate this lipstick!

Most of Natural Collections products are not amazing but this is just plain blank BAD! This lip colour is meant to be moisturising but its very drying and the colour is just sickly! I have very pale skin so this should have been the perfect baby pink, but no it just does not work! Women with tanned skin up this will probably be a night mare! I have seen and swathed the other colours in the collection, honestly the only one with good pigmentation was the red one!

Product Summary,

Round Up - A light frosty cool baby pink lip

Best For - If your into frost.shimmery ill looking lips

Pigmentation - (1/10) Not worth the £1.99

Availability - Normally £1.99 - you can purchase this in selected Boots stores.

This post does not contain any PR samples ect..

If you would like to see the lipstick on please follow the link....

It looks good on camera but it really is sickly!

Tell me what you think, I personally hate this but that's just my opinion!

Primark Eyelash Curler Review

Hello everyone, Hope your having a smashing day!

So today I am reviewing..... The primark eyelash curlers. I have tried so many eyelash curlers from shu uemura ,channel and lancome to drugstore ones ect... I believe that Primark is an only UK shop so I doubt you'll be able to grab these amazing £1 eyelash curlers from the US.

My thoughts,

So at first when I heard of Primark launching a beauty line all I could think of was its going to be so crap! But after watching masses of YouTubers talk about there experience with these eyelash curlers I just had to try it myself. First of all I like that it has a lot of space for your eyelashes to be curled and that they give you an extra rubber bit in case your last one breaks or becomes grimy. It has a really durable handle which you can clasp about 2 fingers very easily and most important of all it really does work, it curls your lashes without giving them that harsh line which shows where you've curled them and it really is just amazing.

Conclusion,

So as you can probably tell I absolutely love these eyelash curlers, they work amazingly an I just love them. The Shu uemura ones are still my favourite but I think for those of you on a cheaper budget the Primark ones are just as good. I totally recommend this and all I can say is don't judge something on its price!  

This is how my lashes look curled without mascara:

The Best Drugstore/Highstreet Products : MUA Nail Varnishe's

Hi guys, so this is the first of a new series: The best of Drugtore/Highstreet Products and I decided to go with the best of the best, MUA Nail Polishes which are normally £1 - (I know! incredible and affordable prices).
MUA is a British company which is quite new in the beauty industry and is appearing in almost all drugstores (Superdrug's), Most of their products are sold on average £1-£7, not only are they priced so low but the quality of most of their products is just amazing! The pigmentation of the shadows is phenomenal and I am becoming addicted to their lip glosses.

So I chose two of my favourite Nail Polish colours from their collection:

Firstly,

I chose Shade 4 from their permanent collection

The consistency is amazing and it last about 3 days without chipping considering its only £1.

This colour appears as a florescent coral and is perfect for spring.

Secondly,

This polish is from their 'Love hearts' collection, this shade is called U & I named after one of the 'love hearts' sweets. It comes at an amazing £2 and it is just so good! I love the colour yellow, this is an amazing sunny colour without being neon and blinding!

I also own the 'Butter London Cheeky Chops' which is an amazing sunny colour but is almost £20 which is an extortionate price for most of you readers on a budget, when I found this MUA nail polish I was literally kicking myself for wasting my money on a nail polish I could have bought for a tenth of that price.

Anyway all I can say is I really love MUA nail polishes, they work amazingly and are just as good as higher brands!

I hope this review has helped you decide whether or not you like their nail polishes.

What do you think, Do you like the nail polishes or are you considering buying them?
