ColourPop Madness 😍😍



So when payday hit last month I found myself with some money left over to spend on my one true love...Makeup of course! For some strange reason I had never been on depop or these Facebook selling pages and decided to take a look to see what people were selling.

Now I've heard so many amazing things about Colourpop and when I saw a few people selling some shadows etc I decided to make a few purchases and give them a go...that was the start of colour pop madness!!!


When I first received the shades I found the packaging very simplistic but in a nice way! I like how clean the packaging looks and that they are not relying on that to sell the products like a few makeup brands do!
 Some of the highlighters I had purchased had split which I



hear is a common problem with the formula they use and that they can be pressed back into shape so it didnt bother me too much. The highlighters are seriously beautiful!! My favourite being Fanny Pack which is this bright white highlighter and my god does it pack a punch Highlight on fleek for days!!! They retail at $8 each which is seriously affordable compared to other brands such as Mac, so I can see myself investing in a few more shades.

Now as you all now I love a good liquid lipstick and oh boy was I not disappointed when I received the colour pop ones! Now they do retail at $6 each but considering Colourpop don't ship to the uk I ended up paying around £8 each! Which realistically isn't too bad at all.
My favourite shade by far is Kapow, its this beautiful grey/brown and I'm ADDICTED!! Move over Retro by Mac and hello Kapow.

The eyeshadows for me were the real showstopper they were so pigmented and packed a punch when you wear them! Ive never received so many compliments about my eye makeup as I do when I wear their eyeshadows. Melrose is one I've worn the most and one that Ive already hit pan on!!! Their metallic shades are seriously amazing and have such a strange but awesome formula!
 I have to say that their highlighters and eyeshadows were by far my favourites of the bunch! something I really didnt expect as an avid lipstick lover.


COLOUR POP PLEASE SHIP TO THE UK PLEASE K THNX!



I would highly recommend investing in some colour pop if you haven't already but watch out for the super duper high prices on places such as Depop and Facebook and always remember to be safe and pay G&S!!!

March Favourites

I can't believe we are now officially in April! These months are just flying by and the beauty market is constantly introducing new products some which work well and some which don't, Im going to share some of my March Favourites, and you never know you may see something you want to try.

I've been loving High street/Drug Store products recently and their isn't one product that is high end this month!!
The first two of my nail picks are the Rimmel London Rita Ora collection nail varnishes in the shades  'White Hot Love' & 'Pop Art'. Im a bit late jumping on the bandwagon for these because they have been out a while but since they were on offer in Asda for a bargain price of just £1.49! Yes thats right just £1.49, I thought I would finally give them ago. They really didn't disappoint, although you have to give them a few layers each which is expected the colour constancy and pay off is fantastic and the combination of the two goes together like a dream! 

Barry M's nail range I feel is unbeatable for not only quality and colour range but price at just £2.99-£3.99 a bottle (and they always seem to be on offer), a little goes along way and they are always releasing new shades and collections. I decided to get a couple of the new Speedy Quick Dry Nail Paints in the shades 'Pole Position' & 'Road Rage'. It was really hard to pick the shades I wanted because they were all such lovely colours! The entire collection is an assortment of pastels. The colour on the nails is BEAUTIFUL and although you need a few coats to really pick up the colour vividly it drys super quick so once ouse done one coat you can go back and do another straight away! No more waiting patiently for the colour to dry! This is such a bonus especially when your painting your nails in a rush, I highly recommend these to all you nail varnish fanatics out there. 

This isn't a new product by all means but it is something I have been loving this month!! My lips recently have felt really dry and corse so I've turned back to my Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub £2.99 and it really does the trick. The scrub leaves my lips feeling silky smooth and because the scrub is all natural ingredients (huge bonus) such as sugar granules if you accidentally on purpose get some in your mouth it doesn't taste bad whatsoever unlike most lip scrubs. If your having the same issue as me recently then this is a must have!

Everyone loves the Maybelline Colour Tattoos but I recently discovered the Maxfactor Excess Shimmer Pots in the shade '20 Copper' at £7.99 each they are a little on the expensive side but it is definitely worth every penny. Unlike the Colour Tattoo Pots the texture is much more creamier and just the littlest amount will cover both eyelids! Ive been loving this and wearing it almost everyday and i haven't even used a fraction of the top of the pot!! The colour is phenomenal and really makes my eyes pop ( which is always a bonus).  Although it is a cream texture the product lasts all day and doesn't move from where you've applied the product! I will definitely be investing in their other shades which all seem to have lovely colourings.


When I saw the Rimmel Lasting Finish Concealer I wasn't sure if I would A) Want to try it, and B) If it would really work. I decided to take the plunge whilst it was on offer at £ 4.99 and give it a go, and boy was I glad I did!!  I have a real problem with most concealers because they always seem to leave me with lines under my eyes which I HATE so I'm very cautious when trying out a new one. Once I tried this I was so impressed I haven't stopped using it! Not only did it get rid of the dark circles under my eyes (when I have them) it also completely got rid of those pesky lines to say I was happy is an understatement! This is very much my product of the month .I've really been impressed with Rimmel as a brand this month! Usually I just stroll past their counter and never really take the time to look or try their products, but I won't anymore!


I love Soap & Glory as a brand and feel their products are so affordable and work really well. This month saw the release of the new XXL Pillow Plump Lipgloss £10.00. Now I'm not really a big lipgloss fan but since I love their original Sexy Mother Pucker glosses I thought I Would give it a try, I got the shade 'Clearvoyant' which is just a clear gloss. Just like their other lipgloss it gives you a tingling sensation in your lips and plumps them up! I have seriously been loving this and have been wearing it on its own and on top of other lipsticks, its been really effective as you can see in the above picture and I am seriously going to be investing in the other shades they have to offer.


Another lip product I've been reaching for is the new Loreal infallible lipstick £6.99 in the shade 228 which is Blake Lively's new limited edition shade. The colour itself is a perfect summer shade and reminds me of MAC Impassioned £15.50, but at a more affordable price. The product consistancy is very rich and lasts around 6 hours without retouching. The lipstick doesn't bleed past your lip line and keeps such a blast of colour once applied. Recently I've been thoroughly impressed with Loreals collection and it is always my first stop in Superdrug or Boots, and their lipsticks are starting to become a must have for me. This has been my march go to shade and is one that I can't see my self not reaching for to add a pop of colour this spring.
