Beauty And The Band

Hi all! this is my review on the Kat Von D Shade and Light eyeshadow palette. I first got this palette around July last year, and i used it on occasion. firstly, I cannot fault the quality on this palette. for matte eyeshadow shades, the range is lovely. and i love the fact that you can create three separate eyeshadow looks from the 'neutral' 'cool' or 'warm' toned quads. the only thing i dislike, is there is not a shimmer shade for the lid. i feel like this would have completed the palette and therefore made it a one hit run for everything you could need in a nice base, transition shade and a crease shade. although as i said, the main shades i would change, are the three largest. now, i do use the cream shade from the neutrals section regularly, however the other two i just dont. they're too dark for me to use to set my eyeshadow base, and not dark enough for my skin tone to use as a transition. i feel that this is where shimmer shades would go perfec

hi all! here is a quick review of this Vichy Dermablend foundation in shade 15 - opal now I'm usually an NC15 in mac, and this is comparable. i actually prefer the coverage on this compared to Mac Studio fix fluid. i find it to be a lighter weight foundation. as i have rather oily skin, vichy claims to be 16 hour wear. to this i somewhat agree. the foundation can last a good 8-10 hours on my face (whilst at work) however it starts to disintergrate around my nose and chin. however no matter the foundation and powder i use, it always seems to break apart in those areas.  none the less the coverage is lovely, and definitely hides any redness that i have that day. as i mentioned it is rather light weight, however it is very very shiny if you do not set it with powder. i decided to take photos before i started work as well as after work on a busy day (that i dont have time to touch up my makeup) and show you all how it works for my skin. for people with dry skin

Hi all!! as many people know, z palettes have been the life and soul of the makeup community as they're just so damn convent. i have started to incorporate this palette into my everyday life as it becomes so convenient to have shades i love all together.  the palette that i decided to use is an old mac palette, i had originally bought the palette and inserts along with a few of the bottom row colours, but decided that the insert was useless and is much easier for me to use it without. each of the shades that are not magnetic i bought some magnet tape (just a cheap one from pound land) and cut it to the size of the bottom of the eyeshadow, and voila. starting with the top two rows of eyeshadows from this palette, if you had read my 'whats in my makeup bag' you would have seen that this palette is in it. i decided that the packaging on the 'Zoeva Matte' palette was just becoming inconvenient to me, and so i decided to depot it and place it in this

Hi guys! wow its been a while since I've done a blogpost. but I'm feeling ever so determined to continue posting new content. for my first post back, i thought i would do a 'whats in my everyday makeup bag' and show you the products I'm currently using and loving.. so here we go.  the first being palettes! the Kat Von D shade and light eye palette £37  this is my main palette, as i use it for my eyebrows! of course i also use it on the eyes, but that is my main purpose. next is the Zoeva Matte palette £18  again these are pretty much my every day eyeshadow palettes. between the two there is a really nice mix of neutrals, warm tones and a few colours i like to play around with regularly. the last palette i use on an every day basis is the Zoeva Basic moment blush palette £13 . this carries a bronzer / contour shade, a blush and a highlighter, which is extremely handy that i can use one palette for all of my needs. also as both of my eyeshadow palette
