→ Who's a lucky girl? .. Cosmo Prize!

I'm a lucky girl, that's who! Just a couple of weeks ago I entered a blog competition where you had to do a smoky eye look, and the best entrant got to win a £135 prize, worth of cosmo beauty tools, and I won!

 

I was really surprised and very very pleased as you can imagine! I just wanted to show you my lovely prize which I got yesterday.. You will be seeing some reviews and posts on some of these items in upcoming posts, no doubt! (Click on the image for massive size!)

And here is the official image of what I got (everything but the sponge tip applicators..) Lucky me, eh!

What do you think of Cosmo tools? I'm new to them, but know that I love the beauty blender sponge! They are available from Superdrug, if you fancy trying them out.

♥ Beauty UK Cosmetics Goodies!

Hey Lovelies! ♥

So, just before I went away to my mums for Christmas I got a message on twitter from the company Beauty UK, you know? The budget brand that they sell in Superdrug that sell the palettes similar to the Claire's palettes?

Well anyway, I had won a competition that I had entered with them, and my prize was a Christmas Goodie Bag! So I emailed them my details and went off to my Mum's. When I got back last week the package from them was waiting for me. I was super excited, because I had forgotten all about it.

I didn't know what to expect in my prize package, and I was shocked (to say the least) at how generous they were! It included palettes, lip gloss, blusher, glitter .. Well, just take a look for yourself!

My prize included the following :

♥ 4 Eye Shadow Palettes

♥ 1 Blush

♥ 2 Glitters

♥ 8 Nail Polishes

♥ 1 Lipgloss

♥ 2 Metallic Spark Pencils

♥ 1 Mascara

♥ 1 Eye Liner

Who's a lucky Sophie? .. It was like Christmas all over again!

I've never really tried much from this brand before, apart from a blusher a few years ago which was nice. I have used one of the palettes today though and the blusher and I have to say I am extremely impressed so far! The Eyeshadows are rich in pigmentation and there are some really unique colours too!

So there you go.. I want to say a big thanks to Beauty UK for my prize, I love it all. You guys should check out their site, and also the stand in your local Superdrug if you are in the UK!

If anyone wants to see something in more detail or would like a review of anything, just let me know.

A Very Special Aussie Prize Package!

Remember this? .. It seems like forever ago doesn't it?

Well, my prize for that competition was going to be a day with a Makeup artist (Nic of Pixiwoo), following them around and learning some stuff from them.. However, due to other commitments she had to pull out.

Then I was informed by Aussie that they would arrange something else with another makeup artist, which was fine.. I was invited along to London one day, but I only had a couple of days notice and could not make it.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, between us we recently decided that I would be given a special prize instead, which I was more than happy with as it just seemed like everything was against us.

I got my prize yesterday and I am sooo chuffed with what I was sent. It seems like the Aussie team really put thought into what they got for me, because they are all things I love/want/need! :)

This is my signature scent, I have been wearing it since I was 18 and I love it.. How did they know that? I am impressed, I love it soo much, it smells divine!

Look at this gorgeous little brush holder! It's really dainty and vintage-y looking. It's really cute and looks lovely on my makeup table.. I was only saying recently how I wanted new storage for brushes!

I was bowled over by these!! They had taken the time to find out what I liked and knew that I am like the biggest EVER fan on True Blood, and so they got me the set of books. I have been lemming these for some time and I am sooooooo excited to own them! :)

How lucky am I? .. Sleek prize one day, and this the next. Thank you SO much to all the girls over at Aussie. I love everything and am overwhelmed that you sent me things you knew I would love.

Thank You For Reading!

Sleek Makeup Goodies!

Hey Everybody! I hope you are all doing well?

I know some of you know this already, but for those of you that don't, I was the winner of Sleek Makeup's Facebook contest last week! My prize was this..

Any twenty products I want from their site! How exciting?

I was proper chuffed, as you can imagine.. So I go my package through today and after an afternoon of playing with it all, and then taking some pictures, I am gonna show you the goods! It's picture heavy, so make sure you are sitting comfortably!

How amazing is all of that? ... I am sooo excited that it is all mine!

 Now I'm gonna break it all down for you .. Enjoy!

Who knew Sleek did eyelashes? I didn't, but when I saw them I knew I had to try them! I ordered 'Rio', 'Shanghai', 'Harare', and 'London' .. The London ones are individual lashes, the rest are strip lashes.

Poison Ivy, Royalty, Oxford - Lilac, Pastel Pink, Turqoise.

I chose six nail polishes.. maybe a bit excessive? .. I don't know! But I have never tried Sleek Polishes so I went for it. I got three festive metallic shades, and three of their summer pastels. These are a generous 10.5ml.

This is the contour kit in light, which Sleek have an exclusive on at the moment, you can get the kit and brush for a limited time. I have wanted to try this for ages so I went for it! The brush is broken though :(  .. The highlighter brush comes off .. I have let Sleek know about it though. The bristles are lovely and soft!
*Update : They are replacing the brush for me*

I went kind of mad ordering skin/face products, but I took this as my chance to try all of the things I have been wanting to try. The luminous powder is something I always look at when I am in Superdrug. I needed a new translucent pressed powder, so I ordered it in light.. Which is is not! It is orange and way too dark for me which is annoying. 

The 'One' finishing powder is amazing though! More on this soon! The Skin Revive foundation is very impressive too. I wouldn't normally go for a lighter coverage but I feel the Clarisonic is improving my skin, so I braved it. This is lovely, I am wearing it now.

Blusher! Something I have been wanting to try from Sleek forever! I got Pixie Pink, Flamingo and a new shimmer blush in Pomegranate. More on these in another post.. I haven't properly played with everything yet.

Last up, I ordered two lip products. Highshine gloss on 'A Touch Of Pink' and sheer lipstick in 'Silk' .. The lippie is nice, but I haven't tried the gloss yet.

Here is my list, and prices for anyone who is interested. All available from here.

• New Skin Revive Foundation - £6.99
• Translucent Pressed Powder  - £4.99
• ONE Finishing Powder - £6.99
• Luminous Pressed Powder - £5.99
• Blusher -  £3.99
• High Shine Lipgloss - £3.49
• Sheer Cover Lipstick - £3.69
• Nailed Polish -£3.49
• London Individual Eyelashes - £4/49
• Other Strip Eyelashes - £3.49
• Face Contour Kit and Dual Ended Brush - £8.00

If you got this far, well done! I hope you enjoyed. :)

Thank You For Reading!

MeMeMe « MakeUp Review.

Quite a while ago I was sent a few 'MeMeMe' goodies to try out. I got a couple of lip glosses and a cream blusher, both products are great, So I wanted to mention them here.

The two lip glosses that I have are the 'Light Me Up' ones. These both have a kind of menthol scent to them, the sort that you get in plumping glosses sometimes, but these don't plump, they just have a refreshing feel and smell.

Top 'Sparkle' - Bottom 'Show'

They are both a nice creamy texture that isn't too sticky and they are very pigmented too. have a small mirror on the side of the tube, and a little light inside the lid that (hence the light me up name) shines onto the lips when you use it, to help you see where you are applying it.

Mirror                                                        Light Up!

I like the light and mirror concept, especially if you are on a night out and you're in a dark bar or club. However, you cannot control the light, and so it comes on every time it gets used, which can be a bit annoying when you don't need it, But that's just a small thing really.

Show is a bubblegum pink creamy shade that looks great alone, or topped over a pink lippie. It's eye catching and really girlie.

Sparkle is a hot pink, almost red colour that is very striking. The reason for it's name is that it is packed with blue/violet micro sparkle that looks amazing when it catches the light. I love this over red lipstick, but both are pigmented enough to wear alone.

Here they are, swatched without a flash, then with. Click image for a closer look.. I tried to capture the sparkle!

The glosses are £6.99 each from Superdrug, or here.

Next thing is the Cheek'E blusher pot. This come packaged in a cute pot with a screw top lid and I have the colour Pinki'E. These are £4.99 from Superdrug, or the website. They don't currently have this colour online though, unfortunately.

Pinki'E.

As you can see, Pinki'E is a vibrant pink colour, and it does have a slight golden shimmer running through it. It's really smooth and blends easily onto the skin to a powder finish, leaving a fresh-faced glow. I like to use my fingers to apply this because the opening is quite small and I don't have a brush that fits in there to swirl around and pick up the colour. But I like to place the colour on with my fingers and blend with a #109 brush.

So there you have it, my review :) What do you think of MeMeMe products? Do you have any faves?

* * *

On a side note, MeMeMe are currently running a competition on their website where they are looking for their 'Lost Spirit' .. The winner of this competition will win a once in a lifetime amazing prize to become the 3^rd spirit where they will take part in a professionally styled photo shoot by A-List celebrity make-up artist Lou Page which will be featured in Superdrug stores nationwide! Not only that, they will be in an exclusive feature with More! Magazine and for all their hard work our new spirit will win a holiday for them and one friend!

Just Go HERE to upload your shot and enter!

Good Luck! :)

Aussie Comp Make up Look!

G'day Sports!

So, a little late, I know.. But here is my entry to the Aussie competition. Luckily I was given a little extra time because I have been sick and never got the chance to do my entry.

My look was based on this gorgeous sunset picture :



I just wanted to do a hot bright sunset type look that really stands out. When I think of Australia I think of heat, sunshine, sand, and beautiful sunsets. I also added some purple eye liner on the lower lash line for the Aussie logo colour, of course! And to add a little sparkle I added some gold glitter over the purple, but I don't know if that shows in the pics. :)

I hope you like it!






(Lol @ me sporting my Oz style hat, minus the corks!)

Oh My God! I Love Barry M! I won!

So, I have a totally happy face! .. I have entered so many contests before on YT and never got anywhere, it kind of knocks you a bit, but you get over it.

So back in October Barry M were running a 'Be a Star' Contest where you did a look using their products (Which are fab) and submit it to their you tube account (Here) .. So I did that, and then forgot about it..

That was, until yesterday! I logged into my You Tube and had a message from one of the girls in their offices telling me I was the winner.. My first thought was 'This is a JOKE!' .. She sent me a link to their site, and there I am, the winner..



Click Here To Go Page!

I am totally in shock, but really made up!.. I never win anything, and now I have.. I am so pleased that they liked my look, and now I get to choose £100 of Barry M products from the site.. I am spoilt for choice, because I love it all!


Good times, eh? :)
