My favourite lipglosses - Collection 2000 Hotlights

I mentioned a little bit about these glosses in my "Pretty lips" post. I decided to do more of a review and show you some of the colours I have (so far).


I love these glosses because they are not sticky or gloopy, they are really sparkly/shiny but you cannot feel any "bits" in them, they don't really taste of anything and the packaging is FAB! The mirror and light attract so much attention when I use it EVERYONE wants to look at it.


At first I thought why would I need a light on my lipgloss I never do my makeup in the dark but you'll be suprised how it helps you see what you're doing even better especially in dim lit rooms, pubs or clubs.


I wear these either alone for a nude gloss or over lipsticks for amazing shine.

4 Sparkle over Maybelline 420 coral pop


4 Sparkle - alone for a beautiful glossy nude


5 Glow - alone, my favourite

I also have star which is another nice nude or beautiful over any lipstick more on the beige/gold side.

So if you haven't yet, you must try of these...I got mine from Superdrug and I think one from Asda around £5 each.

Loving this bright, pretty lip colour









I love, love, love these lipglosses, I have about 4 of these in various colours, they are lovely and shiny/sparkly. They have a mirror on the side and when you screw off the lid they have a light fitted in the lid....fab on a night out!!



These are the products I used to create this lip colour Maybelline lipstick in 420 coral pop and collection 2000 hotlights lipgloss in 4 sparkle.

My first E.L.F order

Hi


Sorry I haven't posted for ages, been hectic....I'm back now!


Just received my first E.L.F order, I've read a lot about the E.L.F products they are amazing value for money and there are some really good products so thought I would try some out.


Firstly my order arrived in only a couple of days and I had used the halloween code so I got 20% off my order so none of my items were over £3!!!! Bargain


I ordered 4 mineral eyeshadows (angelic, elegant, confident and caffinated), a waterproof eyeliner pen, a volumising and lengthening waterproof mascara, 2 pressed powders (Porcelain and buff), 4 brushes and 4 pairs of lashes....£32.00!


I've had a look at all the products and I'm impressed with everything so far...I'm yet to use them properly and test out their wear.


The waterproof eyeliner pen is FAB!!!!!!!!! I was using a virgin cosmetics one for ages that I loved and I used every last drop so I ordered this one to try and its great. The nib is quite stiff so you can get really good control and it lasts sooooo well!...plus I paid £1.20 for it!


Some looks and reviews coming up so watch this space!


Whats your favourite E.L.F product? xx

Trying something new

Tonight I thought I would have a play with colour, I usually do bridal, day, evening looks nothing too wacky so I thought I'd try some really bright shades. I'm loving all the bright colours and nail polishes that are around at the moment so I thought why not have a play with some of the bright neon shades in my bargain eye palette.

Not a look I'd wear to tesco but pretty colours, reminds me of a sunset!

Then I thought I'd try something similar to one of the MAC trends for this years V festival and do a black and gold smoky eye, again using my bargain eye palette.

The MAC look is more dark all around the eye, where as I wanted to try and do a more wearable version!


What do you think of these two looks?

Chanel

I'm really into golds, peaches and coral colours at the moment I think they are so pretty and summery.

I'm loving this Chanel compact in 79 spices





I love these shades for a natural, soft look also great for brides. 

Sleek

I've heard lots of good reports about Sleek, an affordable makeup range available in Superdrug. So I decided to try 2 products from their range.

The first one is this eye palette in Storm


It has some great colours including 3 matte shades. You can use them wet or dry. I have used them dry and the colours are great, there can be quite a bit of product fall down with the dark colours so maybe do eyes first then you don't disturb your foundation.




A great price at £6.49 for 12 shades, well worth a try!

The other Sleek product I bought is the Face contour kit in Light. I love love love this product a gorgeous matte bronzer perfect for fair complexions and a shimmery highlighter (which is a little light for me personally) Also available in medium and dark. RRP £6.50
