Naked 2 swatches!

 

 

 

 

 

Heyoo everyone!

 

 

Today I thought that I would do a simple post of one of my favourite products in the world. I love the Naked 2 Palette because all the colours are very me?!

 

I love the fact that there is simple base colours like Foxy and Bootycall that can then easily be blended with any of the other more sparkly colours?! I also love Tease because it is quite a paler colour than the others and I normally use it through  my crease as well because it can really help to define your eyes and make them appear to be more awake than you actually are!

 

I find that all of the colours bar one are very pigmented. I think that Verve never comes out as clear as you would think it would in the concept as its very pale and is just sparkly. However once I have the colour on I love it!

 

Im sorry that this post was a bit short but today is my dads birthday so I was quite buy...so therefore I didn't have a very long time to type up a blog post, because I wanted to spend it with him.. im sorry:(

 

If you live in England have a lovely bank holiday Monday and enjoy the time off!!

Burberry kisses review!*

Hellooo!

 

A few weeks ago on twitter Burberry started a campaign where you nominated your friends to receive a free sample of the new Burberry lipsticks. Obviously because they were a sample this is not the full size and so I imagine they will be about double in size?! You could choose your shade from a selection of four colours, there was a red, a nude and 2 different shades of pinky colours. I was nominated twice so I git two colours! Because I am loving them so much I thought why not review them and share my opinion on the interweb!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first one I choose was Military Red No. 109. (The left one in all of the above photos) I choose this colour because whenever I wear red people always say that it goes well with my eyes and helps them stand out, so I went with a red colour. I had very high hopes for these lipsticks because they were made by such a high end company and I was not let down. The lipstick is very pigmented with a high coverage in one sweep on the lips. The colour is easily buildable which is one thing that I love about lipsticks so I can have it slightly pale in the day, yet darker for going out in the evenings. While on the subject of going out I will say that the Military red lipstick does not budge. I will go out in the morning and have lunch, eating and drinking, and again it hasn't budged. This is the same if I was going out with the girls for a meal it does not move! Five stars defiantly from me, and I will be purchasing the bigger version of this!

 

Now the second one I choose was Sepia No.85. Now this colour I felt was a lot more hydrating to the lips. I felt as though it was a lot softer and felt as though I was wearing nothing on my lips. Now I know they are made exactly the same but for some reason I felt like this one was a lot nicer and easier to wear. This lipstick I normally have just been wearing out and about in the day and I have received many a compliments on it. Which obviously make me happy! This lipstick just like the red is also very high coverage and you can easily build up the colour! Sepia starts of as a pale pink then with three glides over the lips it seems to have a tinge of purple/brown and stand out more.

 

 

I hope you have liked this review of my two Burberry kisses! You can follow me on my blog now over to the right or on google+ so you can receive updates on when I post... that's if you like what I post!!

 

See you soon x

The blogger programme!?

Helllloo!

 

So todays post is going to be quite a chatty post in a way that it's just me talking to myself?! If that makes any sense to anybody at all, because it does to me *inserts cry laughing emoji* ?!!

 

So I thought I would do a blog post talking about something that I have recently become a part of. This thing is called the blogger programme. The Blogger Programme is basically a platform that can not only connect myself with other bloggers but with smaller brands who would like to advertise their products. They also give you a badge that says you are an approved blogger, which is along the right hand margin on my blog some were.

 

I really think that the blogger programme is a good idea because it can really help you connect with others which, is what I have been doing! Now you are probably thinking why on earth have I decided to join this platform (because at the start I was but now...not so)? Well it is a way for me to connect with other bloggers who don't necessarily live in the United Kingdom and we can talk about blog ideas and help each other out. Its just another way to socialise and make friends in simple terms.

 

If you are a fellow blogger reading this then you can check out the blogger programme!

If you love entering competitions then follow this link to win a big basket of gifts: https://gleam.io/UxLJC-AhK6Ge

 

I hope you have liked this blog post even though it was something different because I just wanted to talk about it, and tell you what it is basically in case you had seen the little badge and been like "whaaaat?" well now you know!

 

Please feel free to leave a comment down below if there is any other information that you would like to know, or if you have any blog post ideas because it would be largely appreciated!

NYC make-up haul!

Hellooo!

So I thought that it was about time I posted my make-up haul, from Sephora, MAC and Victoria Secret! When in NYC I spent a lot, and I mean a huge amount of my spending money in these shops on make-up and body sprays!

Sephora- $54

One of the many things I wanted to buy on this trip was a Naked Palette by Urban Decay. This is because I am in love with doing eye-shadow and experimenting, so I thought it was about time I upped my game and bough quality eye-shadows!! So I bought Naked 2... and my oh my! It is absolutely amazing, already I have created so many combinations and have favourites such as Pistol and verve. All the colours in this palette are very pigmented, and last at least 8hrs! I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone because it not only is all of the above but it is also well worth the money!

Mac Cosmetics- $18 each

 How can you go to NYC without going into a Mac store! I went into a Mac every time I went out shopping, which really wasn't good for me! I ended up only buying two lipsticks, (l-r) Damn glamorous which is a matte finish and Hot gossip which is a Cremesheen finish. I adore both of these lipsticks and they both have such long lasting colour. Mac is always my go to lipstick for if im going out, or just in general really!



Victoria Secret- $12 each

Now one shop that I did spend a lot of money in was Victoria secret. This was because I bought a lot of underwear as well as body sprays!  On the left is pure seduction which is a fruity pungent smell, and for some reason I find it quite a soothing scent! I like to wear this in the day because it makes me feel fresh! Now when im going out I wear Strawberries and Champagne because a lot of people smell it and say that it smells good, then when I tell them what the scent is they think it sounds quite posh and it makes me feel special!

 

Walmart- $3.97

I finally caved in and bought myself the Stay matte powder. I know it is very cheap and by this I was wondering that maybe it wasn't so good as everyone said and raved about. However now I have tried it I am never going back to my old powder because I am in love with this one. It can be easily built up with more and more layers and it really does apply a matte finish. This powder will last on my face for the whole of a school day so about 7/8 hours a day!

Sephora- $29

This mascara has always been my go to, ever since it was released. I love the size of the brush because it gives lots of volume and builds up very well. Many people fins that this brush is scratchy however I haven't found this once! I think the application is very smooth and it literally glides on. Like I said it can easily be built which means I can apply more at the weekends and when I go out than the amount I wear to school!

Sephora- $12

This is the Sephora contour eye pencil 12hr wear waterproof in the shade Black lace! That's a bit of a mouthful to say! This eyeliner I was contemplating buying. I had read many reviews about it online and I needed a new eyeliner so I decided to get it. Now because I am a very emotional person most of the time and cry when I laugh I decided it was best to get waterproof and may I say... it is the best waterproof eyeliner I've ever had! Not only does it not come off with tears or rain but I struggle with my eye make-up to remove it, but after a bit of pressure and scrubbing it coms off! I apply this on my waterline and even if it is slightly damp, it still apples nicely with a buildable cover.



Sephora- $10

I have always bought in the past the smash box foundation in the past, which I have always sworn by. However I am slightly obsessed with benefit at the moment so I decided to buy the mini version of the Pore fessional primer. And may I say, benefit has not let me down. This product works wonders at not only keeping my make-up on for a longer time but also it really does minimize my pores a heck of a lot. This is one purchase that I know I am defiantly buying in the bigger version next time!





Elle Magazine-£4

Now this was purchased in the airport through ELLE magazine, because they were giving away free travel sizes. So being a Benefit lover I bought it! This is one of the best mascaras I've tried and I've tried many. It really does curl and lengthen my lashes. However I also think that it really lasts a long time, because once my lashes are lifted they don't drop, they hold all day! I would definitely recommend it to any one who wants a good mascara that is defiantly worth the money!

(You can now buy the full version from Sephora at $29)

 

 

I hope you liked this post as it was a bit different. I apologise for not posting in a while but I have gotten so caught up at school with my work I felt that was more important to go first! But now im past all that and able to blog weekly again!

 

I have also started a twitter that is about blog updates e.t.c which is: @_absterhamster
