Sephora Disney's Ariel Part Of Your World Palette Swatches & Review!

11:47 0 Comments

Hi Guys,
     A little while ago, you would have remembered that I recently showed some new palettes in my Huge Collective Haul on my channel (video above). I promised some swatches, and I've already swatched theBalm Nude'tude Palette, and I've now swatched the Disney Sephora Ariel Palette.

     Here are all of the swatches, and a little bit of information about each of the colours. I purchased this from a website called Rose's Beauty Store. Basically, they sell products that are most requested, which are only normally available in the US. I managed to pick up this palette for £22.99 on sale from the store! I knew from the moment that I saw this palette on the site, I had to buy it. I'm obsessed with Disney, and The Little Mermaid and Ariel are my favourite movie and character!
    


      First thing, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! Even the cardboard packaging is amazing and pretty much makes the palette look as though it was found amongst Ariel's treasures! I absolutely love it! The back of the packaging also tells you the colours that are included, and the names of each, with a mini sort of swatch of the colour in a little shell shaped circle. This way, it makes it easy for you to be able to tell which shadows are in the palette, without having to open it up.

     The palette comes in a cream coloured plastic case, which has a beautiful design printed on the from. This isn't the sort of design where its just a sticker on the front. This is a 3D print on the front. Meaning that you can see all of the ridges of the case, and you can not simply scrape this off. Its a design that is featured on the front cover on the newest Special Edition of the Movie, which makes it more special. Adding the pops of silver on the case, makes it look more luxurious. 
    
     When you open the case up, you come across the compact mirror, and the vibrant colour on the bottom two shadows. There is a quote on the mirror 'Dreams are realities in waiting', which is a line featured in The Little Mermaid, said by Sebastian. 


     There are 4 colours in the palette (which all have names related to the movie) - Who's-it?, what's-it?, Dinglehopper, Snarfblat.
     Who's-it? - Is a shimmery white colour, which is great for a highlight.
     What's-it? - Is the only almost matte shade in the palette. It's a light brown matte shadow. Great for a transition shade!
     Dinglehopper - Is a shimmery light green shade. It's more green than aqua, but reminds me of Ariel's tail.
     Snarfblat - Is a gorgeous bright purple shade, with large flecks of shimmer. This shade reminds me of Ariel's top.
Swatches - (L-R) Who's-it?, What's-it?, Dinglehopper, Snarfblat
     When I opened the case, it was super excited and couldn't wait to do swatches of the shades. I have to say, I was a little disappointed in the pigmentation of the swatches. A thing that I really liked, was that you could see shimmer in all shades - shimmer shades are my favourite shadows. There was even a slight shimmer in the matte shade.

     I was extremely happy with the swatches from Who's-it? and Snarfblat. These were very highly pigmented, and showed up amazingly. It didn't bother me with the amount and the sizes of shimmer in Snarfblat. I just think it made it beautiful.

     My least favourite were What's-it? and Dinglehopper. The swatches were not very good at all. What's-it? didn't show up on my skin as well as I would have hoped, but in real life, it did look a little more pigmented. Dinglehopper, I'm not a fan of. I was super excited to see this shade, as I don't own a green shade eye shadow, and thought this would be great for a Mermaid Style Make-up. The swatch was not good. This swatch was with me building up the colour 3 times. Not very pigmented, and not a very good shade if you want bold colour.

     Overall, I do like this palette. I did feel like the pigmentation would have been a lot better than it was. As been as its my most expensive palette I have purchased, I thought the product would be great! I like half of the shades, and would probably wear them the majority of the time. I do think the pigmented shades are absolutely gorgeous, and I do feel like I could make the other 2 work out good with a little practice. I also think the packaging is gorgeous, and much better quality than other palettes I have purchased.

     However, I don't think the palette is worth the price. It retailed for $30 in the US, so it's pretty much a high end product. It didn't feel like a high end product. it just really felt like you pay the price for the packaging. It's a little disappointing when I think the pigmentation was so much higher in my theBalm Nude'tude palette, and even my MUA palettes which cost £4 are more pigmented than What's-it? and Dinglehopper.

     I suggest that if you are a big Disney and The Little Mermaid fan, then give it a go. But if you're not, I wouldn't recommend it, as you would be disappointed.

Creepy Cat Halloween Make-up Tutorial!

03:39 0 Comments


Hi guys,
     For Halloween, I was unsure of what I wanted to dress as. I also knew that I really wanted to create my first make-up tutorial for Halloween. I had a little think, and took my inspiration from one of my favourite movies - Alice In Wonderland. I also knew that I wanted to use affordable products, as like me, not a lot of you can afford to purchase expensive products - especially for only one night.
     I managed to find a few products in my make-up storage, and also purchased some very affordable face paints to create the look. Also, as I am very prone to acne, I wanted an alternative for the face base than just face paint for those of you like me.
     I created the look as a trial first, and uploaded a photo to my instagram and my facebook pages, and was overwhelmed by people saying how much they wanted a tutorial and how much they loved it! The next day, I filmed my tutorial, and was pretty happy with the outcome! Even my work colleagues were giving me amazing compliments on it!
     So here is my complete make-up tutorial (above), and here is the list of the products which I used.
  • Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
  • Rimmel Match Perfection in Light Porcelain
  • Snazaroo Face Paint in Black & White
  • Rimmel Soft Kohl Pencil in Black
  • Snazaroo face Paint Brushes
  • Bourjois Lady in Black Eyelashes
  • Technic Electric Palette (dupe for the Urban Decay Electric Palette for £1.99)

Enjoy!

theBalm Nudetude Eyeshadow Palette Swatches & Review!

10:13 0 Comments


Hey guys,

     I said in one of my recent videos that I would do some swatches on my new palette's which I showed in my Huge Collective Haul (above).

     Here are the swatches for The Balm Nudetude Palette. I recently purchased this palette from www.feelunique.com when they recently had a sale, and I believe it cost me just under £20.

I fell in love with the palette when I recently watched a video 'Bought It, Forgot It' by Casey Holmes from last Christmas. She also did an eye shadow tutorial using the palette which I thought was absolutely gorgeous so I decided to pick it up.

     The pigmentation is incredible and I haven't had a problem with fall out. They also are very long lasting, and normally last from 10am and are still very noticeable at 10pm! I love the colours and I'm using it pretty much everyday!
     All swatches are used without a primer.

Here is where I purchased the palette: http://www.feelunique.com/p/theBalm-Nude-Tude-Eyeshadow-Palette-Naughty-1108g

First Impression on Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge!

05:16 0 Comments

Hey guys,
      So I've recently decided to purchase the Real techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, for the main reason that my Real Techniques Buffing Brush has decided it wants to shed its bristles all over my face.
     I've had the brush for only a few months, and it seems to be that whenever I try to use it, I end up having 50-odd bristles all over my face, which makes it impossible to get smooth skin. Every time I do a few buffing motions, I'd have to take my tweezers and remove all of the horrible bristles stuck to my face, and then reuse the brush to buff everything back into place. Completely useless and time wasting!

I chose the sponge because I'm getting more into thick coverage foundations now that it's becoming autumn and winter, and heard that using a sponge makes it easier and gives much better coverage.
     I've heard so much about the Beauty Blender, but at £16, really did not want to spend all of that money on a sponge. So, I found the next best thing!
     The Real Techniques sponge is supposed to be an amazing dupe for the Beauty Blender, and at £5.99, it's less than half the price! I purchased mine from my local Boots drugstore, but you can pretty much purchase it in every drugstore in the UK and the US.
     Above is my first impression on the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. And the foundation that I'm using is the Rimmel Clean Finish foundation, which is a pretty thick consistency.

New Products I'm Testing Out For My Acne!

03:03 0 Comments


Hey guys,
     As you will know, if you watch my videos, I have been suffering from acne since I was 16. I managed to get it near enough cleared up a few years ago, and then started using Proactiv to keep it at bay.
     Now, because I have sensitive skin, the proactive was not the best product for me to use. It started to work for the first year, and because I couldn't use it twice a day which it suggested (because of my sensitive skin) it started to come back, and my face was getting very irritated. And the last few months of me using the product, my acne started to come back a lot worse.
     I've been fed up of using many different products to try to get rid of my Acne, and so many of them have worked, and then they stopped working. So this time, I decided to use a product from the brand Clinique. I went to my local Boots Store, and spoke to the lady about my acne. She said the Anti-Blemish 3 Step Solutions was a great product to use and this was great for sensitive skin, it wouldn't irritate me, and the moisturiser won't dry my skin out.
     So, I decided to go and purchase this in my hopes it would make my skin nice and clear.
     I've been documenting every week of me using this system. I've so far edited  2 updates and a video on how my skin looked before using it. Check them out above, and let me know if you think it's working! I'm doing a new update every week on how my skin looks, and f it's made any difference.
