Review| Essence products

I have been waiting to try Essence products for a while now as I have seen them on various blogs but they were hard to get hold off until they came to Wilkos in the uk! 

I bought the XXXL shine lipgloss in rising star, Lip liner in 12 ' wish me a rose' and Metal glam eyeshadow. 

I am obsessed with the lip gloss it is one of the best lip glosses I have ever used and it was only £1.79!! It's stays all for a few hours and it is opaque enough to wear alone or over the top of a lipstick. 

The lip liner again is amazing! It's is very pigmented and last all day and that was only 99p. I can't get over the quality of this brand as it is so cheap! 

The eyeshadow I was disappointed in at first because in the packaging it looks a silver glitter but once you remove the top layer it is brown! I don't mind the shade but I did want a silver glitter!! 

I would definitely recommend this brand from what I have tested, as I have not been disappointed and I will be buying more products!!

|July Favourites

I don't have many favourites this month as i haven't been wearing much make up or trying new products!

Dr Bronner's magic soap:

I don't use soap normally as i leaves my skin really dry and horrible so when i received this in a beauty box i decided to use it to wash my brushes and its worked better than anything i have ever used and i will have a full blog post on this very soon.

Make Up Revolution Concealer Palette:

I haven't really worn foundation this month just a bit of concealer and this palette has been great for just that.I have been finding it very easy to blend because i know so cream concealer can be hard work! I have a review on this product here.

L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara:

I was a little sceptical about this mascara because of all the mixed reviews but again i received this in a beauty box and i love it, it has become one of my favourite mascaras!

W7 Africa Blush/Bronzer:

This has been the only blush i have been using for the past few weeks. The colour gives a really natural looking flush to the cheeks. I will have a review on this coming soon.

Review| NYC Top Coat Polishes

NYC isn't a brand i am overly familiar with but recently i was browsing the products and i was impressed and want to buy a lot of it, it looked great and it is really cheap! I'm a nail polish hoarder so i thought i would try these two products. It says the these are top coats but i used them as just normal polishes and after two coats it was opaque enough to wear on its own!
The shades i have are Rock muse and Disco inferno. I will definitely be buying more products from this brand. They lasted about 3/4 days without chipping which i think is the longest nail polish has ever lasted on my nails!! The picture below is Rock Muse after 2 coats!

Review| W7 Boxed Powders

These  W7 boxed powders are something i have been looking for for what seems like ages but i finally found the first 2 on a website called 'xtras' which is great for discount price make up! I have read quite a few reviews on these items as the packaging is dupe for the Benefit boxed blushes.Candy floss  I have also noticed that Fragrance direct is now back stocking some of these powders.

The Africa blush: is an amazing colour is gives a really natural glow, I think that this is perfect for paler complexions as it is subtle and would probably look like a highlight on darker skin tones.
Double Act duo: this has a bronzer with tiny specs of gold shimmer and a highlight/blush which has a very tiny amount of shimmer which is hardly visible.
Candy Floss: is shimmering highlight, it is pink toned and looks lovely and glowy on the skin.
The Honey Queen blusher: this is a golden/orange toned blush. I would pair this with a bronze smokey eye and it would compliment it perfectly!
All of the powders last all day and haven't stopped wearing them since I bought them!

|Lowry exhibition

An new exhibition opened recently at The Lowry about BBC children's programmes from the past 90 years, I love anything nostalgic! included in the exhibition was some props from my favourite childhood shows so i have to pay a visit!! Salford Quays is one of my favourite places as i love the atmosphere and there is always something going on!

I had to have a photo with 'why bird' from Playdays as it was one of my favourite shows when i was about 6, I went to the theatre shows and everything...haha!!

| Lipstick Collection

I don't have a huge amount of lipsticks but i thought i would still show you my collection! 

Most of my lipsticks are neutral colours as i wear them more on a day to day basis but i do have a few brighter colours.

I have spoken about the L'oreal lipsticks lots of times before and here is a review. As you can see i don't have many MAC Lipsticks but i plan on expending my collection as i have list of a few i want to buy!

I don't own many Collection lipsticks and i don't really know why! They are creamy, pigmented and last a quite a while so i do recommend them!

Lip crayons are so easy to use and handy just to go in your handbag, the Bourjois ones are more like lipsticks in pencil form they are really glossy, last nearly all day and are my favourite lip crayons. The Revlon and Avon ones are equally as good too but i hate the mint smell of the Revlon one it's to overpowering!

MUA lipsticks and lip glosses are such good quality for only £1, i highly recommend them, there is a large selection of shades.

I love Rimmel lipsticks, I would have to say the Kate range is my favourite. The Matte 101 lipsticks is one of my all time favourites! They are affordable and pigmented so you can't really go wrong with them!

The Klean color lipsticks below are a brand i had never heard from until i ordered them off the beauty joint website. The pigment of these is ok but not amazing and the colours are really similar and all seem to have a frosted finish which i don't really like. For only 93p which i think these were each you cant really grumble!

Here we have a Seventeen lipstick in 'Beehive' which is one of my favourite lipsticks. 

A pink etude house,

Maybelline in 'fatal red', 

Make up revolution in Encore, 

NYC lip balm in Pink lady

Natural Collection lip gloss in Barley Sugar

and an Along came Betty lip stick and gloss duo
