Crown Brush Smoke It Out Palette..

I can see you... Staring at the picture of that gorgeous palette in wonderment... Go on, look a little longer, I'll wait right here...

Haha! Isn't it gorgeous? Blog readers, meet the Smoke It Out Palette* from Crown Brush! It's the most me palette I've ever seen, and I have a lot of palettes.

The thing is, my favourite make up is dramatic and smokey, but I love colour! So put them together and what have you got?  This beauty! It's really, really gorgeous and I've been playing with it for a while now. You can see a couple of examples of looks in the collage above, and I can assure you there will be many more to come.

So let's talk about the palette. . It has 36 eyeshadows and each one is pigmented, even the few matte shades that are included. They are soft like buttah and blend like a dream, they really do. I didn't do swatches, mainly because I do them so badly and I thought the makeup I've done with the palette was much more interesting anyway.

The shadows come in a sturdy black casing which is light weight and stays firmly closed.. this is important because some palettes try to open in my luggage when I travel and I hate it!

I really don't know what else I can say to sum this palette up. If you love dramatic makeup and experimenting with colour and this makes you go wow, then you'll love it and you should get it! I am very happy that I own it. It's a perfect palette for any season too, because the colours are so versatile.

Do check it out here if you're as in love as I am. It's only £19.99.. Yes. Under twenty quid.. I know!

» Maybe She's Born With It ..

Maybe It's Maybelline! :)

I have some gorgeous new maybelline goodies that I want to blog about today. First off, some of their Colour Sensational Lipsticks, These are some of my faves, they are pigmented, light feeling and some of them have a gorgeous sheen to them, You'll see...

 They are gorgeously packaged, smooth to apply, the colour pay off is great and the colour range is pretty big! I already own 'Ambre Rose' which is my *My lips but better* Shade - Here are my swatches :

I adore all of the colours apart from Coral Fever, I'm not sure if it's me!? .. Anyway, these lipsticks get a thumbs up from me, they are priced around £7 and are creamy and moisturising, Check them out at your local Superdrug.

Next up are two of the Eyestudio Mono Eyeshadows from maybelline, not something I have ever looked into before, but these are stunning, see for yourself :

 

Gorgeous, right? They are smooth, intensely pigmented, they blend really nicely and I cannot fault them at all, they feel light weight, and they look lovely on! That blue is just amazing, and the silver is almost a taupe, Love it! You can also purchase these from Superdrug, I will definitely be checking out some more colours. They are around £4 each, Bargain!

Lastly, The NEW Falsies Waterproof Formula Mascara.. I already love this mascara, this is just the same as the non waterproof, it gives a lovely long voluminous lash effect, but it is waterproof. It lasts all day with out flaking or smudging, and  removed nicely with my boots botanics make up remover. I would recommend this mascara, it's one that I always have in my mascara box! This is around the £8 mark.

Thank you for reading.

» NEW Eyeko Fat Balms!

These dropped through my letterbox yesterday, totally unexpectedly. Thanks Eyeko!..

Say hi to the new fatbalms from Eyeko .. Aren't they just lovely!

I was sent 'Minty' and 'Cherry' .. both of which I love already.

Eyeko Says :

"Slicks of juicy colour, infused with light reflecting particles, moisturising Jojoba oil and added SPF15 make for fuller, softer, sexier lips. Add a hint of colour and shine as you protect and hydrate your kisser! Dab on to cheeks to for a touch of blush."

Oh, how I love a muti use product! :) Don't you?

Let's start with Cherry, a gorgeous red stain that gives your lips a lovely red berry stain. This tastes delicious is sooo well pigmented for a lip balm. This makes a really nice blusher shade to, such a nice deep red *Flushed* look!

Cherry

Next up, is Minty. As the name suggests it is a minty flavour, it actually feels soothing and cooling on the lips, like some of those plumpers do. This is a really pretty girlie pink shade which is a sheer shimmer rather than a heavy coverage, on the cheeks it would be the perfect highlighter.. I think I love this one the most.. but I love Cherry too, I can't decide!

Minty

These are really nice and handy and I definitely recommend them. They are both moisturising, contain SPF 15 to protect your pout and they are just too cute, and only £6.00 each! You can buy them online now, right here. They have a whole selection of lovely flavours too! 

Hurry though, they are Limited Edition!
