Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Launch Video 2015

I recently atteneded the launch of the brand new Roller Lash Mascara by Benefit!

This was my second launch that i had been too and i have to say i was very impressed!
I was very fortunate to be able to film my experiances there and create a really good looking video for you to watch, with a little review added onto the end.

I really enjoyed the night and made quite a few friends. Before we had the new shopping centre built we didn't really have too much going for us, so to be able to attend a launch in the comfort of my own town is a really nice thing to happen. Don't get me wrong, i love going out of town to big shopping centres like Meadow Hall or just spending a day in Lincoln, but it's just lovely to be able to drive down to road to attend one ever so often.

If you have never been to a launch party before i hightly reccomend it! Even if you are just getting into make-up and feel that you don't know a lot, this is actually the perfect place to go! You will be surrounded by people who are in the same position as you. The whole point of a launch is to not only show you that specific product but to show off all the products they have to create an easy look that everyone can do. The staff were super friendly and any questions anyone had they were more then happy to answer.

I hope you enjoyed the video, blog full of pictures will be coming very soon!!

Lime Crime Lip Gloss ♥

I've been following the Lime Crime Cosmetics company for a while now, ever since they started off with a few brightly coloured lipsticks and Zodiac Glitter but never made a purchase as i thought they were a tad pricey.
But I've finally decided to treat myself and i made a buy!

I have had this at the top of my wish list for a while and its the:
           ♥ Lime Crime Carousel Gloss in Candy Apple.
Even the names are adorable.
The packaging is very quirky and makes the product feel all the more luxurious.

I never used to be a massive fan of lip glosses as i hated the way they felt on my lips but this was an exception.

I love the smell of this lip gloss as it smells very sweet almost like an cake you want to eat.
I've tried wearing the lip gloss by it's self and wasn't too fond of it but as soon as a stuck a lipstick underneath it was sensational!
Wearing it does make you feel like you have a very luxurious product on and i found myself checking my lips out in mirrors or shop windows i walked past.
The glitter is so magical underneath and you don't have to just stick with your usual reds underneath, you can go for darker or lighter colours that will look fab.

I have quite a few more cosmetics on my wish list from this website, especially the Velvetines!
I always look forward to their new products, but as i mentioned before they are only really treats for me as they are slightly expensive.

Maybelline Colour Drama Review

At the moment I'm really in love with lipsticks and lip pencils!

I was actually out looking for more lip liners when i came across this chubby lip pencil.

They had various colours in stock but these two grabbed my attention straight away.

 ♥ 130 Love my pink.
Already looks a little dulled down because I've worn it a few times already, so i just need to sharpen it up.
♥ 310 Berry Much.

They both feel so velvety smooth and the big pencil means you get more coverage for your lips.

It feels moisturising as well as being a Matte effect.
They are extremely pigmented.

The coverage is excellent as long as you don't eat anything, then again it's like that for the majority of lipsticks and pencils.
But Berry Much tends to have a bit more staying power due to the darker pigments.

There is also noticeably less bleeding because they act as both a lip liner and the full lipstick itself.
I feel I'm going to get a lot more use out of Berry Much at the moment as its more of a darker Autumnal colour. Love my pink is more of a brighter spring/summer colour.

The colour is really nice, but to me its much more lighter then on the colour at the end of the pencil.

They will be a favourite of mine for a while and I'm going to get other colours to add to my collection.

If you own a Maybelline Colour Drama pencil let me know what you thought!!

They are mostly available at your local drug store, Boots, Superdrug or a super market such as Tesco.

Make Up Brushes! Foundation!

Hello, This is a long one!

Sadly i had to re-write this post all over again! But it isn't all bad news! Because i can change bits around and make it even better! See what i did there? Positive Thinking!


Anyway back to topic, So far i only have Two Real Technique Make-up brushes in which i will be getting more of very very soon!
The two i have are the amazing rounded foundation brush, i was originally looking for the Stippling brush but my local store didn't have it in and this was the next best thing.
The next one i have is the Silicone Eye liner brush, Ill blog about this separately because this is a totally different thing! Amazing i should add!

So, when it first came to starting wearing make up (*Year 9, i know...how bad) like everyone else i had to start somewhere, make mistakes and learn even if that meant getting foundation of a totally wrong colour and having streaks.

I can't even begin to remember what foundation i first started to use, although it might of been a Avon brand Liquid Foundation.
But what i first used for application was the good ol' Sponge!
At first the sponge was good but i found a lot of negatives about using a sponge.
For one...the amount of bacteria that thing could of had would of been astounding, No wonder i had bad skin back then! You could of grown live bacteria in a Petr dish in a Lab!
The amount of foundation actually held inside the sponge too, as apposed to being applied on my face was quite bad too. Sucks it right up and never lets it go.

After a year and a bit of keeping...that same sponge (Face-palm) i decided it was time to upgrade...
To a foundation brush! This was also Purchased from Avon too.
At first again the brush seemed alright, easy and sleek application but after a few usages and having the brush clogged with foundation, several brands at the time because i hadn't found the one for me just yet, i found that the foundation became streaky after application and i had a lot of lines across my face. Very unattractive.

In recent years i then found...the beauty sponge! Strange egg looking thing but its meant for smoother application and precise blending.
I got the real cheap version from amazon from a shop in china and again it was brilliant at first and ended up being quite the bacterial feeding ground and it became impossible to wash.
If you wash your brushes regularly you should know by now that just washing them with water wont work and you need a liquid of some sort to really break through the cake of the foundation masking the brush bristles. This is where i use Johnson's baby shampoo, but again that is for another post and not for today's post!
So, i found cleaning it became impossible, but when I'd looked on the Internet at other bloggers who had this Beauty Blender sponge they seemed to be able to clean it with ease. Maybe my mistake was that i actually didn't buy the proper brand either.
Don't Scrimp ladies, It shows!

So finally! We come to the creme-a-la-creme for me in the foundation brush stage!
Real Techniques Facial Foundation Brush has been the best so far I've used!
It was soft, really soft! I couldn't stop stroking it and running the brush across my arms or face.
It doesn't suck up the foundation like sponges do and you are left with easy application and blending, so no streaks and a even finish!
I'm really looking forward to trying out the rest of this brand and reviewing them for you guys!

Stay Tuned!
