REVIEW - Colourpop Cute AF palette

-
hi all!!

so I'm back with another review on the colour pop Cute AF eyeshadow palette. this one unlike the CP x Kathleen Lights i have some mixed reviews on.

the formula for a lot of these shades are thankfully very similar to the Dream St palette, if you haven't read my review on it, then click here but it describes in depth on what i think of colourpop's formula and how well the palette works as a whole.


when you first look at this eyeshadow palette, on mine you can see its taken quite the beating. the packaging and colours are nice, but the feel of the palette is a pain in the booty to clean. its not quite paper or cardboard or even quite plastic feeling. but whatever the packaging is made out of.. it sucks and i dislike it. the actual design, spot on. its nice and light, petite but a good range of colours. but for staining is shite! especially with colours such as the reds and dark burgundy.. they're just a bitch to get rid of from anything, and this is no exception..

again the same as the dream st. palette.. the shimmer shades are an absolute dream. they look so beautiful and pretty wherever you need them, and the yellow gold / orange gold are phenomenal. however some of the matte shades (yellow shade i am coming for you!) just are not the best. the yellow in this palette - named mischief just doesn't work for me how it should. the whole reason i got this palette was for an amazing yellow shade, seeing as i liked the formula of the dream st. palette so much. but the punch just wasn't there for me. does it mean i won't use the shade? no of course not. ill use it until the end of it, but its not a palette i would go out of the way to repurchase. that and some of the mattes in this palette are a bit chalkier than i like. something that i willingly work with, but i would much prefer to not have to.












all in all, i think the palette is nice. and it works. but for me, there are far too many similar shades. i think there should have been more shades that can work to deepen the crease instead of there being just one. and i think there should be more diversity between the shades. as to me they all seem very similar. 

as i said, i will use this palette until i finish it up. I've bought it and so i will get my moneys worth out of it. is it my favourite? no. but it is a very nice palette and is easy to create looks with. if you want to try a colour pop palette and want to try the warm shades this would be a good place to start, but it doesn't have the best range to create a full look. in my opinion anyway


thanks for reading!

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...

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick

happy Mondays all! here is a review on the Maybelline colour sensational lipsticks in three shades - 725 tantalizing taupe, 842 rosewood pearl and 630 velvet beige. love love love these. there isn't really much else to say. they're super moisturising and hydrating and have an amazing stay power. ive never really used any of maybellines products apart from the odd mascara or baby lips. but these I am so impressed with #630 velvet beige - this is probably the darkest nude shade ive owned, and on a good day it makes my face a bit brighter and not that i'm slightly dying.. but other than this it is such a beautiful colour. #842 rosewood petal - the only colour that has tiny glitter specs. when I saw that it had these specs it worried me as I thought it may be grainy however, it is far from that and I am so so happy with it. #725 tantalizing taupe - probably my favourite of the three as well as the palest. it is so unique as ive never seen a colour...

My Skincare Routine May 2018

hi all! i thought i would do a skincare routine, as i found when i was slightly younger, al the products the beauty you tubers used, were pretty damn expensive. all of my skincare at the moment can be found in a drugstore, minus a few extra bits that i like to use on occasion when i feel like i need it. starting off with a day I'm wearing makeup, i use the No7 Makeup wipes, this i use to take off all my face makeup, and as much of my eye makeup as possible. for wipes £7 is a lot of money,  so life hack!  when boots have the £2 off makeup and £5 off skincare vouchers, USE THEM! you can use the £5 off on their makeup wipes and they're only £2! i tend to stock up on them when i can get them cheaper while that offer is on. after this, i use soap and glory Face soap and Clarity face wash . this has micro beads in it, and i use that all over my face to get any shit out. this stuff leaves your skin feeling so damn soft!! as for cleanser, i tend to use whateve...
