Favourite Fall Lip Products | Inexpensive

From left to right: Rimmel Meteoric Matte, Revlon Sunkissed Gloss, Calvin Klein Desire, Cien Very Berry, W7 Kir Royale

I, like many people, absolutely love Autumn. It is definitely my favourite season, everything from the weather, the leaves falling, the clothing and the make up, it's just perfect! I love it when it looks sunny outside but there is a crisp freshness to the air! 

I thought I would share with you some of the colours I go back to every year, I also love a lot of brown tones this time of year but I am doing a separate post for that so keep an eye out. 

I love pairing berry toned lips with bronzey gold shades on the eyes.. 

What colours have you been loving for Autumn? 

Thank you for reading,

MakeUp Revolution Metel Eyeshadows | Review

         Mine are in the shades Pure Platinum (silver) & Rose Gold (my favourite)

First off, i'm going to start by saying I am completely in love with these shadows! I love anything that is shiny or glittery. These have a random texture, they are bouncy and soft, which they don't look like they will feel like that. They are super pigmented. super shiny, it isn't glitter, but comes across like glitter on the lid depending on how you use them. You are supposed to use the little liquid that comes with it, but i just apply it with my finger, either on its own or sheer it out over another shadow. If you are going to buy anything from MakeUp Revolution, then I would highly recommend these!

What are your thoughts on these?

Thankyou for reading,

Make-Up Revolution Highlighter Palette | Radiance

                 

        .        

Hi guys,

I have just got this little beauty in the post and I am already in love! From left to right the highlight gets darker, so different skin shades can use them. 

They are creamy, soft and pigmented, they are finely milled powders so it created the most beautiful glow on your skin. It's natural and looks like your lit from within. 

This is going to be a favourite of mine for a while! 

Have you tried anything from MUR? Let me know what you think..

W7 In The Mood Palette | Mini Review

Hi guys! I am so glad to be writing this post, I have missed blogging; it feels like forever since I have posted something. 

I wanted to share a little treasure I have been loving, this palette is a serious doupe for the UD basic palette. Don't get me wrong, it isn't on the same level obviously but it is pretty good palette & it is so in-expensive! I can't remember how much it is but it was around £4 I want too say? 

It has 6 eye shadows, all nudes, from left to right: Shrimp, Oops, Venice, Wink, Katie, Cargo. 

This has become my go to everyday palette because it is so easy to use. 

Have you tried any of the W7 palettes? Let me know your thoughts

Contouring Made Easy

I think I have found the easiest product to contour with from the drugstore, it's the Beauty Uk Contour palette. They are all cream products, you get a cool toned Contour shade, a warm toned Bronzer shade and a Highlight shade that is light enough for even me to use! (Which is rare)

I'm obsessed with it, it's so natural looking, blends out perfectly, and is really inexpensive. I got mine from Superdrug for only £4.99.

I have used it in my latest YouTube video if you want to check it out, just click on this link..

Have you ever tried this? Whats your favourite thing to contour with?

I ❤️ Make - Up Naked Chocolate Palette

To start off, if you didn't know already I ❤️ Make - Up is pretty much the same brand as Make - Up Revolution, you can buy them both off the Make - Up Revolution website, which is where I bought my order.

I was so excited for this to get delivered, I have wanted to have my hands on it since they brought it out. I knew I would love it, it has such amazing colours; some neutrals, purples, shimmers and mattes and all the colours are named after different chocolates (which is adorable). The packaging is so cute, and it has a brilliant sized mirror as well so you could take it places with you and do your make up on the go.

You should definitely go and pick one up! It's beautiful, and I know I will get a lot of use out of mine.
What is your favourite product from Make-Up Revolution?

Favourite Lip Products for 2014 | Drugstore

There are a bunch of lip products I have been loving this year, both high end and drugstore. I thought I would do my top favourite drugstore so that way if anyone wants to try them out they will be able too easily.

I'm not going to do them in order, just list them as I go..

1) Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipsticks - I was obsessed with these when I first got them, really easy to apply & super creamy.

2) L'Oreal Colour Riche Collection - I love this range of lipsticks, they are one of my all time favourites. They are lovely and creamy & pigmented.

3) Rimmel Matte Appocolips - I have to admit I love a matte lip product, I found these really easy to use, they didn't drag on my lips at all, good pigmentation and lasts a long time.

5) E.L.F Matte Lip Colours - going along with the matte theme, these are amazing! I am obsessed with these and I have got my sister into them and she loves them too.

4) W7 Lipsticks - I only got these towards the end of the Year but I am so impressed with them! They are super inexpensive, really creamy and buttery and pigmented! I love them.

Real Techniques Nics Picks

I have been after these for a while and could never get my hands on them. I opened them on Christmas Day off Leon and I was very excited. I think they are limited edition so I am very pleased I have them. 

You get 5 brushes all with beautiful silver handles; Duo- Fiber Face Brush, Cheek Brush, Base Shadow Brush, Angled Shadow Brush and Eyeliner Brush. My favourites out of this set are the Duo- Fiber brush and the Eyeliner Brush. 

Like all Real Techniques brushes they are super soft and really well made. I have the Core Collection and the Eye Starter set, I have done a review on those if you would like to see that.. 

This set retails for a little bit more than the others for £30.00, but I think totally worth it! Superdrug have an offer with them at the moment for £19.99 so if you don't have them but want them then this would be a good time to get them before they are gone. 

Real Techniques are coming out with a line of brushes made more for professionals, which are more expensive then these, I think altogether with brushes will be around £60. They look very beautiful and I am really excited for them too come out.

December Beauty Favourites

I am one of those people who find something they love and stick with it, but here are my favourites for this month: 

Morphe 35C Colour Palette, I have done a review on it so click here to see that. 
L'Oreal Infalliable 24 Hour Foundation Full coverage and lasts a long time.

BH Cosmetics 10 Blush Palette

If you are running out of ideas for a Christmas present, or your a Make-up artist, a beginner in Make-up or just love it in general. Then this is a brilliant thing to buy. My Mum got me this last year for Christmas and I have loved it ever since!

You get 10 decent sized blushes for no more than £20, which works out at about £2 a blush.. which is crazy! I don't think you can buy BH Cosmetics in the UK, I got mine of Amazon. However, a lot of brands do things that are similar to this.

They are brilliantly pigmented, so you do have to be careful when you apply them, you will have to go in with a light hand as I found out. 

There are colours for every season and skin tone, plus it isn't too bulky so you would be able to travel with it and not take anything else for your cheeks as it also comes with a bronzer. 

Its something I have got a lot of use out of. Have tried it, what do you think of it?..

Chelsea,

Urban Decay -v- MUA

The Urban Decay Naked Palette (original) is such a popular product, and honestly is one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes. It can be bought from a lot of different places, I got mine from Debenhams for £37.00 and I have got my money's worth out of it..

However, if you have wanted this palette, but couldn't afford it or didn't want to splurg the money on it then you should try out the MUA Palette called Undressed. It is pretty much identical to the Naked Palette, except it costs £4.00! I get my MUA products from Superdrug. 

Some of the Urban Decay shadows are richer in colour, but the MUA are brilliant doupes! I have had them both for a while and think they are both amazing. 

I hope this has helped you out and thankyou for reading, let me know your opinions about these palettes..

(P.s Superdrug is having an offer on MUA at the moment, where if you spend £8 or more you get a free Eyeshadow palette worth £4. Take advantage of this deal, I already have)

My 5 Most Used Brushes | Eyes

A while a go, I did a post on my Top 5 Face Brushes and said I would be doing a post on my Top 5 Eye Brushes, so I have finally got around to doing it. 

When it comes to eye brushes, there are three basics you need, a blending brush, eye-shadow brush and a pencil brush. 

The first brushes I am going to talk about are shader brushes. One I love to use to start off my eye look is the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush. I use it to apply my neutral coloured shadow, it's really soft and blends colours out lovely! This comes in the Eye Starter Set and I got mine from Superdrug for £20.99.

Other shadow brushes I love are regular shadow brushes, I have shown you two because a lot of different companies do these brushes and they all do the same job. I love the MAC one which I can't find on the website, so I shown you the E.L.F Eyeshadow Brush one because although it has shorter hairs, it is pretty much the same thing, plus it only costs £1.95!

Next are blending brushes, the first one I love I have only just recently got and started to love, it's out of a set I got off eBay 10 Piece Synthetic Set and only cost £8.99! Its really soft and nice to blend with. 

The last two brushes are from Morphe Cosmetics, I have done a full review on these brushes and also on there eye-shadows so I will leave that right here if you want to see it.. I absolutely love these brushes, they are amazing quality and really affordable!

I hope this helps you out, if you have any favourite brushes make sure you let me know..

Thankyou for reading,

How I Do My Brows | Review

I have recently changed up a few products when I do my brows, but all products I use are cheap and affordable, and really easy to use.

The first thing I do is comb them through with some kind of spoolie or brow brush, just to get them the way I want them to go.

Then I go in with the E.L.F Eyebrow Kit in medium, I only use the wax and completely fill in my brows. I always stick to the natural shape of my brows and just fill them in.  I love this products, it's probably my favourite brow products, it's quick, easy and very affordable!

Next I go in with the Rimmel Mono Shadow in 033 Dusk, only over the sparse areas, just to slightly fill them in more. I like this shadow because it doesn't have much of a red undertone. I'm not sure if they sell these anymore but I really like it. 

Then finally I go in with the Rimmel Brow This Way in the Clear shade to set everything in and make sure my brows stay in all day! This does make my hairs stick down really well,  even though I don't need it because the E.L.F wax sticks the hairs down this just makes sure they stay down. 

I love all these products for my brows, and would recommend for you to try them..

I hope you enjoyed this,

Chelsea

Monthly Favourites | October

I don't really have two many favourites this month but I thought I would share with you anyway..

Rimmel Brow This Way | Clear - sticks my hairs down so well, they don't budge all day and it's really affordable.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless - super lengthening, it had become my favourite mascara. 

Rimmel Apocolips Matte Lip Velvet | Meteoric Matte - lasts a good time, gorgeous colour and I love the fact it's matte! 

Nivea Lip Butter | Original - super hydrating, keeps my lips soft for ages. 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo | On and On Bronze - brilliant for everyday, so easy to use and acts as a really good base. 

E.L.F Glitter Primer | Sheer - tacky base which is great for pigments or loose shadows, really affordable and only need a tiny bit!

I have been trying a lot of Rimmel products this month that's why I have a lot in my favourites, but generally I have been loving everything I have spoken about. 

Thankyou for reading,

Half Skull, Half Face | Halloween Idea

This is what I am going as for halloween, today was just a practise run. I thought I would share it will you because it's a simple look that is really effective! I am also going to take it down my neck so I look like a skeleton. You could also do half your face the other way, so it's half your full face then half a make-up look. (If that makes sence) 

Plus you still get to wear some dramatic eye make-up..

P.s, please excuse my monkey onsie! 

Thankyou for reading and I hope this gives you some inspiration,

Chelsea
