Anna Sui Mascara - Verdict

Image
A few weeks, maybe a couple of months ago I was posted some gorgeous Anna Sui goodies.. like lots of goodies. Instead of me going full steam ahead and using them all I decided to use them as and when I needed. So this weekend I needed to use a new mascara and I had a special occasion to attend. I know daring or what. You should always do a test run because mascara is not just mascara.. I am a firm believer of this BUT I literally was caught out and didn't have another spare that I had previously used. Firstly lets give the packaging some serious appreciation. I LOVE IT. I mean the actually boxes the makeup comes in. Its so colourful!! so Happy and vibrant. You would want this to live in your beauty box. If the box packaging wasn't pretty enough the actual mascara packaging is a beauty too! Gold and black looks so trendy and stylish.. looks great if you touch up your mascara when out and about.   As for the mascara... if all the packaging didn...

Velvet Passion Matte Lipstick by KIKO

Image
  Lipsticks are seriously my guilty pleasure... I feel I just can't get enough of them... Especially KIKO Milano lipsticks. My recent find is "Velvet Passion" matte lipstick - I absolutely LOVE the name. It comes in a aluminium and rose gold packaging which I adore... Rose gold seems to be Popular amongst beauty brands and their packaging. The end of the lipstick has been carefully designed for easy application which I find quite interesting as I haven't had a lipstick shaped liked this yet.   The colour really grabbed me - it's dark and mysterious, it's matte and has a slight shade of berry. The first time I wore this was during the day, YES it screamed sass and I loved it. It completed my outfit well and was perfect on a sunny winters day. Why should you invest in "Velvet Passion" from KIKO? 1. Excellent value for money. 2. Matte lipstick - hottest trend for lips right now. 3. Stunning colour / deep brown/berry look - the ...

The £1.50 Matte Lipstick from PRIMARK

Image
The latest trend that has been game strong for a while now is Matte lips, it used to be all about high shine and glossy lips but there are put and matte lips are IN. I have slowly been building up my matte lipstick collection but I never really thought my next purchase would have been PRIMARK and I definitely didn't imagine it would cost just £1.50.   I am totally crazy about all kinds of nude shades so I picked the one pictured ( it's looks more of a brown tone in the picture but comes out lighter on your lips). I was sceptical purchasing this lipstick but I was pleasantly surprised and here's why; 1. The price is too good to be true... So reasonably priced. 2. Matte lips are hot right now - usually matte lipsticks can feel quite dry on your lips but this one actually keeps your lips quite moisturised. 3. Scented - it actually smells yummy - I think there may be vanilla notes in it. 4. The packAging - looks great, stylish and sleek. 5. Various colours in the...

KIKO kisses - Crayon Gloss Pencils

Image
Again I am excited to share more KIKO Milano cosmetics and this time it's all about LIPS! It's not one but two colours I have to share with you and this time it's not a lipstick or a tube of gloss - it's a crayon gloss!! I have recently bought two colours and these now come with me everywhere at the weekend!  One of the colours is 09 - this is my ultimate colour that every woman should own.  It's a nude shade - which is perfect for day and to give it an evening glam look I recommend you add a darker shade lip liner. It also helps to give the illusion of a fuller lip.  There are a few reasons why I would highly recommend these colours or this particular Crayon Gloss:  1. High shine without lips feeling glupey or too sticky.  2. Easy to put on your lips and use with lip liner. 3. Gorgeous natural tones and various other colours in the range. 4. Easy to keep in your make up bag and definitely handy for a night out. 5. Exce...

Eyebrow game strong with KIKO

Image
 Whilst the whole world is going crazy over eyebrows and hashtags like "#onfleek" are trending everyday, it can get quite confusing which product to use! I only started shaping my eyebrows at the start of last year but I have been testing a lot of different ones and this one I had to share! At the moment I am a super fan of KIKO Milano cosmetics and each time I go in store I find something new I fall in love with. My latest purchase is their Eyebrow Sculpt Automatic pencil in 05. There are several reason why I am a super fan of this eyebrow product. 1. The colour 05 - I have fairly light eyebrows and I like to go a few shades darker. The deeper the brow the better. I have dark roots and brown eyes and I feel a darker brow gives my face more depth. 2. It is incredibly easy to use. I am able to draw my desired shape of brow and then fill it in for a thickeryet defined look. 3. Easy to carry around with you. A lot of eyebrow kits can be quite big and take up spa...
