L'oreal Colour Infallible eyeshadow review!

 Hey guys!

Just a quick post on a range of eyeshadows I got a while ago and thought I'd do a mini review on them. These are the L'oreal colour infallible loose-ish eyeshadows. I only have three colours out of the 13 available on the boots website, but I'm sure I'll get some more when I go back to uni/civilisation. 


The three colours I have are Flashback Silver, Sahara Treasure and Permanent Khaki, I mainly use the gold and green ones.

Flashback Silver is a medium silver colour with purple undertones (that haven't come across in the picture -.-) I really like this colour, I just don't think silver is a very wearable day time colour. Permanent Khaki is a really lovely olive green colour that I'll use in a smoky eye or just all over the lid for a pop of colour. During the day I want to do my makeup as fast as possible and still get a polished look and because these shadows are metallic, they look darker in the crease as if you've spent a lot more time doing your eyeshadow than you really have. Sahara Treasure is a really nice gold colour which is great for everyday and isn't too yellow so is still subtle. 



I really like the formula of these eyeshadows as they're semi-pressed pigments, they come with a stopper in the lid. The formula is really smooth as well and they're nice to rub your finger in (a bit weird). I also found that they don't crease easily and as someone with oily skin, this is a major plus because I don't need to use primer like I would with normal eyeshadows. 

Overall I like these eyeshadows and will probably be buying most of them when I get the chance!

Lipstick collection

Hey guys!

 I just got home for the summer and I tipped out the contents of my makeup bag and started swatching the lip products I have brought home and thought I'd do a blog post on what I have! 

These are the very few nude lipsticks I own, from left to right are: 
ELF Studio Matte Lip Colour in Natural 
ELF Studio Lip Liner and Blending Brush in Nude Pink (I just use it all over the lips) Rimmel Moisture Renew in Nude Delight 
I'm very pale and my lips are quite pigmented already so I think nudes really wash me out so I don't wear them very often. 



These are the lighter pink shades I own and again, from left to right are: ELF Lipstick in Classy Maybelline Colour Sensational in Stellar Pink Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint in 03 Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Frenzy 

These are the colours I'll wear at home and when I'm seeing my Mum haha.

These are darker pink shades that I'll wear everyday at uni and on nights out. Left to right: Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie (sparklier than I thought it was) 
Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart 
Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop 
Maybelline Super Stay 10H Tint Gloss in Forever Fuchia 
ELF Lipstick in Gypsy 
I've really fallen for the Revlon lip butters because I always have really dry lips and usually like to keep my lips matte which is very drying but I love how these feel on my lips. 

The next are more coraly or orangy, I wasn't sure where to put them so I made a new category ha. Left to right this time: 
MAC Satin in Sail La Vie from the Hey Sailor! Collection 
Maybelline Super Stay 10H Tint Gloss in Forever Coral 
MAC Amplified in Watch Me Simmer from the Shop MAC collection 
These are the only two MAC lipsticks I own and I absolutely love them. Especially Watch Me Simmer, it's just a gorgeous colour! 
Finally are my Reds, I don't have many, but I want to get more, probably Russian Red from MAC. So from left to right are: 
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 01 Maybelline Super Stay 10H Tint Gloss in Endless Ruby 
Revlon Just Bitten in Gothic 
When the Maybelline tint glosses came into Boots I got excited and bought most of them because it was buy one get one half price and now I keep going back and can't find Lasting Pink :( 

 But those are my lipsticks that I have with me at the moment, I've become a little lipstick crazy lately, I didn't have any of these a year or two ago :S haha 
 Now I've got a lovely stained arm so I shall post again soon

P.S. Not sure what happened with the spacing, still pretty new at this :S

Back from Uni!!

Hey Guys!
Just wanted to apologise for the lack of posts, I've had exams and wanted to focus on them rather than blog, but I'm back from uni and thought I'd do a mini series on what products I brought back with me, this is also a kind of haul because a lot of the stuff I've brought home, I've got recently so I'll be doing reviews on those as well. 
Just thought I'd include a photo of whats to come!
And this isn't including my current everyday makeup so I might do a post on that as well ;)

Thanks for reading
