organizing my make-up collection

hey everyone,
so as one of my new years resolutions i have decided that i need to organise my make-up collection abit more.

now its not fully complete but these are the ideas ive got so far:

I got this soap and glory tin as a christmas gift, so i took off the label and filled it with my nail varnishes, i need a proper place to put them and so there all up start, but this will do for now.

this is abit silly but i thought it was a good idea, what ive done is used a fererro rouchie packet, the one that contains 4 fererro's and put my bobby pins and bobbles in it, its a perfect size for them, and youll never loose them or remember to put them on that piece of cardboard ever again :]

then the make-up bit, i brought this in the whsmiths sale, it was £6.99. they have other storage things but i quite like the fact that its just plain and black and all the others where different colours. you can write on the little labels if you want but i perfer to keep mine blank. i am going to buy another one i think and stack it ontop.

then i brought these, i have one in each draw; they are the very useful box design and i think they were £3.99, they fit perfectly into each draw, please check before you buy it, and at the moment im using the lid to keep other things in aswell, just because it has raised sides and i havent got any more aahah.

]

its just a start in my organisation skills, but im getting there.

what do you guys think? i would love to know what you do with your make-up!!

review: Joli RougeBrilliant Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick

hey everyone,

so as you may have guessed ive got abit obsessed with lipstick lately, and ive got another one to share with you guys.

colour: litchi number 12


my sister got this for christmas i think, but she is quite alot darker then me and she said the shade didnt suit her skin tone so she said i could have it, which was nice :D,
it is £16.50, which actually sounds abit pricey for me, because a mac lipstick is only £13.

but it is a lovely colour, its pinky and shimmery and has little bits of glitter in there, so when it hits the light it is shimmery and almost looks white with all the shimmer. but it is perfect for my skin because i am sooooo pale.

the only problems with it is that you can feel the glitter on your lips when you rub them together, but it does last a really long time, even after eating.


pro's:

• lovely colour
• lasts a really long time
• suits my skin tone
• doesnt get sticky as it starts to wear off

con's:

• costs alot
• can feel the glitter on your lips
• can turn white in some light

verdict: 8/10

MAC haul, eeeeee!

hey everyone,
i haven't posted all week because I've been busy but I'm posting now :D,
my mac order arrived, eeeee
i get so excited when i buy mac products, i love them so much, it might not be a lot but i will buy more eventually :]
At the moment you also get free delivery for over £30, I don't know when they changed it or if it's just a limited time but it's good for me :)

so this is what i brought:
fix + 30ml- so a travel size because ive never brought it before and ive heard such good things about it so i wanted to try it out first.
prep + prime transparent finishing powder- ive been using the skin finish natruals over my foundation to keep it in place but as i was looking on the website it sounded better and then when i looked it was cheaper as well bonus!
mac satin lipstick in brave- looked a pretty colour on the website so thought i would try it.

lets start with the fix +

this is a great product, you can use it to set your make up when youve finished, so spray it directly onto your face, or spray it onto a brush so to reduce fall out of eyeshadows, im sure there are other things you can do with it just havent found them yet.
£7 for 30ml (travel size) or £12.50 for 100ml so great price.

mac satin lipstick in brave:

(with flash)

(without flash)

this is a very pretty colour, it looks completely different with and without the flash but without is more of the true colour, its got a bronzey feel to it with hints of pink running through it. £13.50 for each

prep and prime translucant finishing powder:

the most gorgeous packaging i have ever seen, im a sucker for packaging and this is beautiful, its all sparkerly with green, purple, pink and blue sparkles. it has it on the lid as well as the outer box but its not very good on the picture. anyway the product is lovely too, i think this one is my favioute, it is really silky when you put it on your skin, it makes it feel so soft and lovely and even though the powder is lke bright white, it doesnt leave your skin looking ghostly, even if you end up putting a bit to much on, opps :].
£18.50 for each

so what do you think? have you got any of these products? leave me alittle comment below and please subscribe, thankyou

review: maybelline colour sensational lipmarker

hey everyone,
i love doing reviews, and i thought i would do one on the new craze of lipsticks, the lip marker. now you can find these by every brand and near enough every price. i brought this quite cheap it was £6.99.

I'm not quite sure about it,
i love the colour, (640 in the buff) its a  beautiful browny pink and isn't that dark, but its a bit weird to apply, it is basically like a felt tip, so it feels like you are applying a permanent marker too your lips, which thank god its not. its got a good even flow aswell. but it does have one draw back for me, as it starts to wear off it starts to leave lines, like where you have applyed it it will start to rub off and leave like a line around your lips or a line through the middle, so that doesnt look that attractive really.

it has a lovely smell and taste actually so you will find yourself licking your lips alot haha

 (without flash)

(with flash)

           pro's:

• smells and taste good
• beautiful colour
• even coverage

          con's:

• feels abit wierd when you put it on
• wears away badly

verdict: 7/10

what do you think? do you like the lip markers?

new cid cosmetics bronzer, rio: review

I thought i would show you one of the products from new cid.
Ive had it for about a month now, ive got some other products from them that i might review later on, but for now im going to review there i-bronzer called Rio.

New cid have been around awhile but only in selected salons, they want to try and expand into other places like qvc and in selected selfridges.
We have these products in the salon i work in, and i went for a makeup course with 2 of there top makeup artists :D but all these products i bought for myself, because i love the products so much.

this bronzer is quite cool, it has four different colours in here, it has pink ivory and 2 different browns, a light and a dark, so that it suits every skin colour.

with this product you can start of light and add more to make it darker, just make sure you build up the colour because you can add too much at once and you can look very brown very quickly.

this bronzer has been baked in an oven for at least 24 hours and if you wanted to pull it apart you would see the ceramic plate it was baked on, but who would want to destroy the packaging?? so im just going to take there word for it :D

it also has the colour running all the way through and will not cumble or break apart when you get near the bottom, because it has all natural oils in it, the only reason your blusher or bronzer breaks apart is because your brush has oils from your skin, so when you put it in the bronzer the oil transfers from your skin to the product, thats why they break apart.

so here i am, with just one side of my face done, the left, you can only tell a little bit but you can kind of see that my cheek is a little more defined on the left then the right.

a bronzer is for creating a shadow on your face, so what i did was put it underneath my check down, and then on my forehead, down the temples and then underneath my chin to create the shadow.

this is with 2 sides down, it makes you look abit tanned, which is good for me as im as pale as snow. you can also put it at the side of your nose to make it look smaller if you're concerned about your nose.

then i put a highlighter on, it doesn't matter which make as long as it adds light to your face, you can put it on your forehead, down the centre of your nose and on your cheek bone.

then heres a quick picture of my make-up of the day

 
what do you guys think is it a good bronzer, have you found any better ones?

i also use this bronzer to create the Kim Kardashian contouring effect, see how to do it yourself by clicking on the link

see you all soon xx
