REVIEW - Colourpop x Kathleen Lights Dream St palette

-
Hi all!!

though this palette has been out for some time now, i wanted to wait until i had tried it and found out whether i really liked this palette. or not.

now i have some mixed views on it.

the overall palette? beautiful. i love the rose gold, the shade choices are nice. a good variety.
one thing i will say, is that the 'darker shade' on the bottom row, isn't that dark when you put it on. even through swatches it looks so much darker, but when it is actually on the eyes i personally feel the colour changes a fair amount and goes a lot lot lot more red than brown.

this is a look that i did from my instagram @lauren.jonesmua and i loveeeeee how pretty it came out. of course all credit goes to RawBeautyKristi, as i followed her phenomenal video.
shades used: shooting star, moony, spark, potion, water bearer, mermaid boy, kaleidoscope, sweet dreams 




now for the colours! please excuse my horrendous swatches. I'm trying!
the shimmer shades.. just WOW they're absolutely beautiful
i have watched each of the shades in rows, e.g first photo been top row etc etc

anyway.. the shimmer shade are amazing, they're literally the best formula and i find nothing alike their single shimmer shades. they're so soft and buttery. they do 'ball up' a little bit when finger swatching. but this is completely different on the eyes. they're so foiled and beautiful and i cannot help but want to drool over every. damn. shade. they're so pretty.
the matte shades are nice, dont get me wrong. they're lovey, but to me they just have a peculiar texture and i cant put my finger on it. but they blend seamlessly and look so pretty when a few are mixed together.

thanks for reading!!

xo lauren.

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...
