Christmas Shopping Do's and Don'ts

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good

Hello Darling 

Welcome back to our little part of makeup heaven 

This is my Christmas shopping Do's and Don'ts.

My friends, Christmas shopping is not something i enjoy. I don't like the hassle and bustle of the crowds. I don't like the trying to think of presents for people i haven't seen in over six months and the only things we have in common is our pets. But one thing i really enjoy is the happiness in the air, the cold (something i feel so often especially in the UK) and the decorations. Something about this mix makes the country go mental.

But i have 5 simple rules to follow to make Christmas shopping easy and as painless of possible.

Rule 1
Go Shopping in November.
Yes i know it sounds like I'm a little eager but Christmas starts earlier and earlier each year. My towns Christmas lights turned on this weekend just gone and this is the best way to beat the crowds and to still get the little Christmas feeling (and the hot chocolate) in your shop.

Rule 2 
Make the most of the offers.
Shopping online or in store the offers and discounts are our best friends. I have student discount in a lot of stores but i also use the offers in stores and online. Black Friday and Cyber Monday is right around the corner make the most of the discounts because they all add up. I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done in one store, Boots have a 3 for 2 on all gifts so i got six gifts for only £40.

Rule 3
Always make a list
I'm the worst person for not making a list and forgetting someone or i go out the intent to buy people gifts and i end up buying stuff for myself or just not buying anything that i came out for so making a list is always so much better when going out for things you need not just this time of year but all year around.

Rule 4
Do things you want to do last
If like me you have one shop that you love and always go into do it last! I'm so bad for going into a shop and spending so much money in one store and end up getting people things they don't always want. So don't go into 'your' shop first do it last any look around for the perfect gift

Rule 5
Minimalism is just as good as anything else.
I love giving. I give more gifts at Christmas then i should, i just love to give people things they can use and will love. So if you know a Minimalist or someone who lives in a small apartment or their bed room is small and they don't have a lot of space, practical things that they need or need replacing or days out. I always love giving people IOY Afternoon Tea, iv done this a few times and especially if someone isn't in town much so you don't see them this is the perfect way to spend time with your loved one.

So this is my way to get gifts at the holiday season i hope you guys get some tips on making the most of your Christmas shopping experience, if you think someone you know needs to read this don't forget to share this post.  If you want me to talk about anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram.

Christmas Wish List 2016

we've all got both light and dark inside us. what matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

Hello Friends 

Welcome back to our little blog.

I'm going to be honest with you friends, I'm so ready for Christmas. I love Christmas and i always make a big deal for Christmas and this will be the first blog of my Christmas season .

I wrote a blog post like this last year and you guys really seemed to enjoy it and i really liked writing it so i thought i would do it again. As i said last year this wish list isn't materialistic things this wish list is things is emotional life lessons/ skills i want to learn for Christmas. 

The first one is 

Finding something that makes me happy.

I know a lot of things make me happy doesn't mean they make me relax and are actually good for me and my health, i have just finished therapy and i want to find something that makes me happy and helps with my mental health.

Take a leap into the unknown 

I am a huge control freak and doing things iv never done before is massively scary and makes me very anxious. 2017 i will be starting to do a lot of new things and it actually starts as of  this weekend and I'm really excited but i need to push myself to do things that iv never done before

Social media isn't the real world

This is something that i need to work on and i know a lot of people have  issues with separating social media and the real world. The world we see online is so different from the real world. People only post online what they want you to see and its heavily edited so we only see the good or the impressive things that others are doing we don't see the days there people are sad and cant get out of bed because of crippling anxiety. 

Don't believe everything that you read online

Things you read online always have 2 sides and mostly we only read opinion a lot of the time or its just stories with 'blurred truths' to make the story more interesting rather than factual.

Express yourself 

I tend to not express myself  with words very well so finding a creative outlet to express myself  is something that i am desperate to find.

Believe in myself 

Over the last few months i have had a few exciting things that could be taking place and because of my own self doubt i thought and gave up thinking they would never happen and because other people have believed in me i have been able to do so much but i now need to take the belief that other people have in me and start to believe in myself .

Work hard to get what you want

Like the one above, i need to work hard to get what i want in life. Its easy to go along with the 'flow' of life to finish school, get a job, find a partner, get married, stat a family. Do something you want to do. If you work hard and keep believing you can do anything or everything you want to do.

I did this last year and you guys seemed to like it and i wanted to the same thing this year, if you think someone you know needs to read this don't forget to share this post.  If you want me to talk about anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram.

NEW NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks- Swatches and Review

Speak your mind. Even if your voice shakes 

Hello Beautiful 

Welcome to the final day of 100 Days Of Products

WOW! We did it! 100 days of hair and beauty products! I think iv talked and reviewed almost my entire collection. I think a haul is on the cards very soon!

Today I'm going to be talking about the range of new colours NYX has released for fall. They released 12 new shades for Fall and oh my gosh they are beautiful! Today i want to talk you through 3 of 12 shades which i bought.

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks

Okay first i want to tell you about my go to fall colour at the moment which is the colour Vintage. I have gotten so many complaints after wearing this and after posting a picture on my Instagram you guys seem to like it too! This is the  darkest red shade that is in the Liquid Suede collection.

The colour looking back in my pictures it looks kind of patchy its actually not noticeable until you look really close i think with a lip liner or a second coat it would look okay but without it will look patchy in areas.

The second shade is called Brooklyn Thorn. When i first bought this product i thought it was more of a purple nude and its a dark purple. Its perfect for fall as a darker coloured lipstick but as a nude its far from it.

I don't think this is the same formula as the first review i did. This lasts so beautifully and it doesn't smudge as much as the first review i did without a lip liner. I really like that is a amazing colour its a beautiful colour for this time of year and I'm all for wearing this colour on a daily basis.

The third shade is called Downtown Beauty. This is like a exact match to the shade Honeymoon in  Lip Lingerie. If you wanted a matte brown colour and the Lip Lingerie is too drying on the lips then this is your shade. I think Honeymoon is a little bit darker and cool toner where as this is a warmer tone.

This is a really nice matte brown. This shade will need a lip liner because it will smudge. This colour is really nice and its such a fall colour. This is a really nice colour. This is the colour I'm not so drawn to, i love a dark lip especially browns i think its too warm toned for me.

This was the 3 shades i bought just because i really like the formula but these are the new shades 

 Hope you liked 100 Days Of Products. There has been a amazing response and i defiantly will be blogging more often and having a lot more verity in my blog.  If you want me to review  anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram.

Simple Skin Care

There is no good or evil, only power and those to weak to seek it.

Hello Friends 

Welcome to day 99 of 100 Days Of Products.

I cant believe we've made it this far only one more day to go! Don't forget to leave comments to tell me what you want to see over the Christmas and new year period.

Today we are talking skin products. Skin care is very important i cant say that enough having the right skin care routine for you and your skin type is the most important thing.Getting the right skin care for you can change your skin for the better. Having a skin care can improve your makeup and your confidence.

Simple Skin Care 

 

As i said having the right skin care is so important and having the right products that work for your skin and your lifestyle. 

My entire skin care routine is from Simple. I use everything a lot of their products like makeup remover, toner, moisturiser and cleanser.

My nightly skin care routine starts with  Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Makeup Remover

Using a cotton pad i put a normal about of the remover on a cotton pad and then wipe the eyes without rubbing the eye to cause irritation. This product removes 99% of makeup around the eyes.  

I continue to take the rest of my makeup off with facial wipes, I use Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Wipes. From time to time i go back and forth with facial wipes but i keep coming back to simple its soft on the skin and they don't have a off putting smell. They remove makeup effortlessly.

The facial cleanser i use daily is the Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash. I apply this on a wet face following the instructions on the packaging. No facial wash has ever given me such a clean refreshed feeling. Using this in the morning wakes me up and makes me feel ready for the day.

I then use the Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Toner. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Applying it on a cotton pad and working the product in a upwards motion to make sure all to get under the hairs of the face.

Finally I use the Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. I use this everyday this is the second or third time i have repurchased the product, I use it twice a day and if I'm not wearing makeup and I'm home all day i like to use it 3 times a day as iv got very dry skin

I have used some of the Teen range that Simple offer which helps gets rid of spots and leaves the skin feeling clean. Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash, this facial wash with daily use does minimise the chances of getting spots.

I have also used Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Day Cream SPF 15 and the Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Night Cream. I went on holiday and i used both of these and they made a huge difference to my skin making it smoother and clearer. They gave my face a real healthy glow which is something i haven't had in my dry skin for years.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation- Review

I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly then all at once.

Hello Friends 

Welcome to day 98 of 100 Days Of Products

I just want to say thank you because today is the first birthday of the blog! Its amazing that one year later from my first post that I'm 98 days into my first big project.

Today we are talking about foundation. This is a more natural coverage foundation and this is quite a popular foundation and i want to share my thoughts about this affordable foundation. This is a really nice light weight medium coverage foundation. 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

This is a highly raved about foundation not just online but in person, talking to other artists they love this product so much. 

I hate to say I'm not a huge fan of the product. Like so many other products the formula is perfect but the colour isn't. The colour is much more yellow and it becomes darker on the skin. The colour is horrible for me and that's the lightest shade. 

The foundation gives a really dewy look to the face, it also brightens the complexion that gives a youthful glow. 

The only way i can wear this foundation is my mixing it with another foundation that matches my skin tone more. I use the Loreal Infallible 24 hour matte foundation. Two parts Bourjois, one part Loreal, its a really nice mix of  foundations, one that gives a really matte complexion and the other gives a beautiful dewy complexion and together its a amazing mix.

The foundation has a medium coverage, most of the Bourjois foundation are very light foundations that don't have a lot of shades in the collection. The only thing i would change is the colour range, to accommodate to those with lighter and darker skin tones.

The products is meant to last up to 16 hours, I have to say I'm not sure about 16, but i do know when mixed it lasts over 11 hours without going patchy. 

The foundation in mixed with a fruit therapy formula. Apricot for radiance. Melon for hydration. Apple to protect youth. It also contains crystalline pigments for a even complexion and a healthy glow.

The foundation is smooth and easy to blend, with what iv tried from Bourjois it seems like a brand that does everything that is very natural. All products are very natural.

All the products iv tried smell AMAZING! This smells like tropical fruit juice.

MUA Prime & Concealer Palette- Review

My thoughts are stars i cannot fathom into constellation 

Hello friends 

Welcome to day 97 of 100 Days Of Products 

Today we are talking colour correction concealers. This little palette has 4 concealer shades and one eye primer. This was the first time i ever tried to use any kind of colour correction. This is also the first eye primer i used. I brought this product many times and i still haven't found anything i like more.

MUA PRO Base Prime and conceal palette

This is a massive favourite of mine i have bought it on many occasions and have hit pan on all the colours. 

When i first got into contouring i used the colour in the top left corner to contour and because I'm super pale it does look really nice and is really natural.

If you've never used colour correcting concealer i will do a really quick over all of what they can all do.

Lilac brightens and mutes yellow undertones. Green eliminates redness. Yellow brightens and conceals purple undertones. Peach adds radiance 

The colours blend really nicely and they are really good quality for the price. 

The product is only £4 which is amazing especially for concealers because concealers are expensive in the drug store so £4 is really good for the quality. 

The packaging is really cute and playful but its not high quality it can brake really easily but the quality is in the product not the packaging. 

The middle product or the primer isn't grate its okay for short periods of time but for longer periods its not grate, the shadows will crease throughout the day. On the MUA website the middle shade can be used for a highlight but if you have large pours or open pours it will make the product sink into the pours but i found as a highlight its just not for me I'm not a cream highlight girl i like powders so it just didn't work for me.

Sleek Makeup I-Divine Ultra Mattes V2 Darks Eyeshadow Palette- Review

It hurt because it mattered- John Green

Hey Friends 

Welcome to day 96 of 100 Days of Products

Today we are talking about Eyeshadow. This is a matte palette there is 12 shadows in this palette. All the colours are very pigmented. Sleek eyeshadows are worth the weight in gold. I love the shadows and use them a lot. If you look through my blog then you can see i use Sleek products a lot, and if you seen my Instagram a few months ago then you may have seen on my story the huge Sleek Cosmetics Haul 

 Sleek Makeup I-Divine Eyeshow palette 

Ultra Mattes V2 Darks

I can't say how much i love the packaging of Sleek products! The palette itself is a classy matte black and its very mature looking, it has Sleek written on the palette and it just looks so classy and mature. All the palettes Sleek have are beautiful and the colours are so pretty and pigmented. All the eye palettes have a really nice high quality mirror that is the perfect size. There is a sponge brush included in the palette but you guys know if you've read my blog before i really really hate sponge brushes i cant explain it, i just do.

The colours in the palette are perfect for this time of year the colours are perfect for Fall or Winter.

I want to talk you through every shade in the palette, as every shade is different.

 I want to start with Orbit which is a light green/ blue colour its like a forest green but it has a tint of blue in the shade.
Next is Ink which a dark navy but with a slight purple twist. Its a dark pigmented colour that is really nice to be blended through the crease or all over the lid.
The next shade in the palette is the shade Highness which is a true purple that is really bright. Its not as pigmented or dark as the other shades.
The next shade is Noir which is a straight black. Its a true matte black.
The shade i use a lot is Dune which if i do its mainly in the nude eye kind of look which i do a lot this is a yellow toned nude.
PillowTalk is a really nice shade for highlight its a pure matte white and its so nice to highlight the brow bone.
Thunder is a amazing its a matte grey and its so nice in the crease and in a smokey eye.
Maple is so nice it a red toned pink, this is so nice in the crease.
Flesh is my go to skin toned colour this has more of a pink under tone rather than Dune.
PaperBag is a dark matte brown which i use all the time in the crease this is just a perfect fall colour.
Villain is a matte true purple, Its such a nice purple that it kind of reminds me of the Maleficent.
 Fern is a deep green but to be honest i think this is the only colour i don't like in the palette but i think its because with the name i wish it was darker but the colour itself is fine i just wanted it to be darker.

The colours are all matte and unlike the other palettes the matte colours aren't as nice as the shimmers but the colours in this palette are a lot better.

The palette is such a nice size and for the price the colours are so worth it.

The colours can make such beautiful looks, they are so pigmented and non of them are patchy in any way and they all blend really nicely

My Favourite Fall Lipsticks

You have to fall before you can fly

Hey Friends 

Welcome to day 95 of 100 Days Of Products

Today we are talking Fall lipsticks. Fall and winter are my favourite times of year! i love the cold nights cuddling up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and the fire burning. But the best thing about about winter and fall is the lipstick. Dark lipstick is the best kind of lipstick in my opinion i wear them all year round but that doesn't mean everyone does and fall time is the best time of year for lipsticks and today i want to tell you about my favourite fall lipsticks. 

I got the inspiration for this blog post from a video by a amazing beauty youtuber  Beautywithemilyfox go check her out, shes a amazing youtuber and is defiantly worth the watch.

The first shade i really like is a lipstick iv actually already blogged about. This is the Essence Long Lasting Velvet Matte Lipstick in the shade 08. This is a perfect purple nude. I wear this all the time even if its in the summer or the winter but because its dark for fall but light enough for a daily wear.

The second shade is by NYX its part of the Soft matte lip cream collection. The shade Madrid and Copenhagen are both deep reds and both look beautiful this time of year. The one im wearing in the picture below is Madrid 

The third shade is from the same collection but its the shade London and i wear this from summer to fall. It all depends on the liner i use with the it, a deep purple/pink or a brown eyebrow pencil which always makes a grate liner. I also like to use the Stone lipliner from MAC, 

The third shade is by MAC. This is a matte shade which i used during the summer but its a dark pink/ red colour making it perfect for fall i love MAC lipsticks and this is a perfect shade for fall this is one of the most expensive product on my list

The next colour is from MUA which is a English brand this is the shade 01 i really like this lipstick its a buildable wine red that is long lasting. For the price its silly not to get this lipstick for only £1

The next colour i did a blog post about it a few weeks ago Rimmel Long Lasting Lipsticks The colour i have is coffee shimmer and its so beautiful. Its a deep coffee colour and i really enjoy wearing this colour  

 

The next colour is from Ebay! The picture below is from the 14 days of makeup i did in March/ April time I did Morticia Addams Look but i also did a blog post about the lipsticks and i will link that HERE but the shade 011 is the dark deep almost purple red i truly love.

The final shade iv been wearing around this time of year is by NYX its the shade Corset in the Lingerie collection This is a purple nude and in the Lingerie collection 90% of the collection is amazing for this time of year.

Sephora Colour Wishes Eyeshadow Palette- Review

We look up at the starts and see such different things 

Hey Friends 

Welcome to day 93 of 100 Days Of Products.

Today we are talking about a eyeshadow palette i first spoke about in my Summer Haul and today i want to talk about these shadows because they are actually so nice and the packaging is so cute and with the holidays coming up there is never enough inspiration for what to get loved ones and what you want for Christmas so this is a really nice inexpensiveness palette for a special treat for yourself or a loved one

Sephora Colour Wishes Eyeshadow Palette- Review 

The packaging to me screams Christmas. I am so in the mood for Christmas and have been since September so having a palette that makes me think of Christmas is cute and fun!

There is 10 shadows in this palette and the palette is amazing for travelling. I love the palette as it comes in 5 smaller palettes each with 2 colours in the palette.

This is Number 1 of the palettes. One thing i really like about the palettes is they all have inspirations on them and i really like that i think it gives a really cute to the packaging. This is Be A Celebrity. This palette has a matte brown and a shimmer gold which makes a perfect combination 

This is Number 2 of the palettes, This is Be A Role Model. This palette has a matte purple colour and a shimmer pink/gold/peach. All the colours in the palette go perfectly together and can be mixed with other colours in the different palettes and it still makes a really nice look. The colours are so pigmented but natural at the same time.

This is Number 3 of the palettes. This is Be A RockStar. This palette has a matte nude/cream colour which is perfect for natural look. It also has a shimmer dark green which looks amazing on brown eyes. Both the shadows are really pigmented and so nice to blend with each other.

This is Number 4 of the palettes. This is Be A Hero. This palette has a matte white and a beautiful shimmer purple which also looks like it has a mix of silver and blue shimmers in different lights. The matte colour isn't as pigmented but the shimmer shade is amazingly pigmented 

This is the last palette Number 5. This is Be A Queen. The matte colour in the palette is a dark purple. The dark purple is so pigmented and true to colour in the pan its amazing. The shimmer is a shimmer silver and its pure glitter a amazing colour.

All the colours in the palettes are pigmented and blend beautifully and are so creamy and easy to apply its grate for beginners.

Update: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream- Review

Im a day dreamer and a night thinker.

Hey Friends 

Welcome to day 92 of 100 Days Of Products 

Today we are doing a update on a lip product i did a review of a few months ago. I will link the other review HERE this is just going to be a updated review because to be honest iv chained my opinion on the lip cream

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

This is the shade 'Madrid' which i really like the fact that all the names of the Soft Matte Lip Creams are places. I just think its so pretty.

The colour is really pretty for this time of year so is the colour 'Copenhagen'

 The packaging is so cute i love how small the packaging actually is. The lid is matte black and the tube is the colour of the product which i really like because i hate having open the product to see what colour the lipstick is.

I love the texture of the product and the smell, I actually wanted to do this second review as i bought a nude colour 'London' and its made me change my mind,

I think it changes with the colour, the red doesn't dry on your lips like at all touching it slightly and it comes off but with a nude it can be really dry and it actually drys on the lips which makes that my favourite colour

I have gotten so many complements when wearing both of the shades iv got, i also have used these on clients and after using it on clients the client actually went out and bought 'London' because she loved the colour so much. They are both really creamy on the lips which i don't think anyone has ever complained about.

Not only is this product is such good value but they have amazing verity of colours from nude to funky colours

Sleek I-Divine Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette- Review

How lucky i am to have something that makes saying good bye so hard- Winnie The Pooh 

Hello Friends

Welcome to day 91 of 100 Days Of Products 

Today we are going to be talking about another eyeshadow palette. I have heard so much hype about this product especially on Instagram. You might of seen this on my Instagram story a few months ago in a huge Sleek Haul.

Sleek I-Divine Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette 

The packaging is so cute. I will preach to the moon i love the packaging to all of sleeks products. Its so mature and just sorry for the pun but so 'sleek'.

The shadows are really nice for this time of year. All the shadows can be smoked out or be blended into a really natural look and can easily be turned from a day shadow into a night look with just this palette.

The brush you get with the palette isn't grate its only a sponge brush but i don't like sponge brushes i think they are harder to use and clean rather than a bristled brush.

The matte shadows aren't as pigmented as i would like but the shimmers are the best in this palette. They are so smooth and easy the build. The shimmers aren't pigmented as i would like them but its nicer not to be over pigmented and just build up the pigmented.

The colours range on the darker side but i really like the palette for winter its the perfect holiday colours and its just perfect for winter days out or just for work or school. 

They do have a nice range of palettes so if your looking for a nice palette i would recommend any of the Sleek palettes 

I wish there was some more matte shades in the palette as most  of the palette is shimmers. 

Other than the lack of mattes this is a really nice palette to travel with especially with such a good quality mirror and with how compact the palette is its perfect for any size of makeup bag

MAC Eyeshadow- Review

Quite people have the loudest of minds.

Hello Friends 

Welcome to day 90 of 100 Days Of Products.

I can't believe it! only 10 days left! Time really has flown by! 90 days has been a struggle but its flown by and iv really enjoyed doing it and hopefully its going to encourage me to blog more, maybe not everyday but more than what i was doing. 

Today we are talking MAC. In my first MAC haul  i talked about the much talked about the eyeshadows, so today i thought i would talk about the 10 MAC shadows i use on almost a daily basis. I love the shadows and i wanted to tell you about them and if i think they are worth the hype and the price.

MAC Eyeshadows 

The magnetic palette is a really nice and good idea, the insert is also really nice as it keeps the shadows in one place and they don't slide around especially if you don't fill the palettes straight away. Its a really nice idea especially for a gift. You can get bigger and smaller palettes and insets for them so around this time of year where we are all looking for presents for our loved ones, Its a good idea for anyone who loves makeup and is looking to start a high end makeup collection.

The palette can hold up to 15 individual shadows refill. 

The first colours i bought was Brule which is a matte pigmented highlight shade, its a light skin toned shade which is really nice for a highlight or for a base shadow. That's the first shadow in the palette in the bottom right hand corner. Its a pinker tone making it a perfect base shadow and for a brow bone highlight.

The next shadow is a yellower toned shade and its called RisePaper. Its a semi matte shade and its a really nice inner corner shade. Its the next shade across from Brule. The shade is perfect for a highlight with it having a yellow tone, making it a nice tone for highlighting the inner corners on any skin tone.

Honestly is the next colour in the palette. Its the first shimmer shade in the palette, its a nice shimmer pink tone, it may be closer to a dark cream colour or maybe a very very light brown. Its a really nice colour to sweep across the lid for a natural shimmer look. This is one of my most used colours in the palette.

The second colour into the palette on the right is called Wedge. This is one of the nicest transition colours for so many looks. This is so pretty to blend into the crease for a natural day to day look. This is another one of  my most used and loved shadows. This is so pigmented but it blends so beautifully that it gives such a nice red tone to the eye.

Texture is such a beautiful pigmented peachy brown shade, this is a shimmer shade. This is the end colour on the left. This would be a beautiful transitional colour if it wasn't a shimmer. This is also a beautiful colour to sweep across the lid on a natural day. This shadow has only got a light pigment which i really like for all over the lid.

Swiss Chocolate  is also a really pretty muted red brown, it kind of is the colour of Swiss Chocolate. This is perfect for my more natural days, i also really like this colour as a crease colour. This is a matte finish colour.

Embark is the darkest colour in the palette and its also the colour with the most pigment. This is also one of my most used colours in this palette. I used this colour in the crease on the lid as a liner, i use this shadow all the time for so many different things.

Twinks is a amazing shimmer brown. I use this colour so much its such a natural dark brown and its actually a daily colour. If your looking for a beautiful colour that can be transitioned from day to night this is the colour for you!

Saddle is a beautiful matte golden brown. Its a pretty as a crease colour and all over the lid makes a beautiful look for blue eyes and for any colour eye actually it makes so many different skin tones and eye colours stand out.

The final and most recent colour iv added to my collection, is Tempting which is a shimmer red brown tone this is so pretty all over the this lid. In the pan it looks so much golder i wouldn't have guessed it was a red shade when i bought it but i wouldn't change it at all.

All these colours are really nice to used and blend very nicely. A individual eyeshadow is only £10 which for how amazing these shadows are i will happily pay. One thing i don't like is how messy it is to get the colours in and out of the magnetic palette.

They all blend beautifully, they all build colour beautifully i cant say how much i really like these shadows. I, and my wallet hate to say it i really like the shadows and they really worth the hype.

I would look in store at colours rather than online online it doesn't show true colours.
