Katherine Pierce (Nina Dobrev) Makeup Tutorial

'Of Course it worked. I'm Katherine Pierce. I survive'

Well, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a big fan of the Vampire Diaries, I love the occasional Unpredictability of the Show and the cast are just brilliant.

Last year I did a tutorial for Katherine's Doppelganger Elena Gilbert. So this year I decided to do a look for Katherine. Katherine is definitely one of my favourite characters, she is so witty and brilliant and her fashion sense is to die for.  I will also be doing a look for Caroline Forbes who is another of my favourite characters.

Sleek Blush: Rose Gold

Okay so I know I'm a little bit late to this party, but how did I ever not buy products from sleek before????

Seriously though I purchased 3 palettes and a Blush and I am in LOVE!! Now if you've read this blog before then you will know that I absolutely adore MUA (Makeup academy), but Sleek are slowly taking over as my favourite brand.

So here is the blush that I purchased and can I just say how freaking awesome this colour. Not only is it a blush but in my honest opinion it can double as a highlighter. The colour is as the name suggests, a rosey colour with gold shimmer, its such a perfect spring/summer colour and very nicely adds that hint of a rosey glow.

The thing about this blushes: they last for ages. Seriously though I've had this blush since the end of January/beginning of February this yeah and I've barely made a dent in it. So yeah they are pretty awesome :)

Would I buy this again? YEP!!!

Would I recommend this product? Yep :)

Would I try more of the Sleek Blushes? I plan to :)

MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers: Kooky and Reckless

Helloooo there everyone, I hope your all having a good day :)

Okay so today I'm going to be talking about the MUA Luxe lip lacquers. First of all as you may know, I absolutely love Makeup Academy as a brand. Their products are such great quality for such a small price.

MUA Luxe is an expansion of the MUA brand. These lip lacquers are two of the three products that I own from them and I will be doing a separate blog post on the Palette. The two lip lacquers that I have are Kooky and Reckless.

Now I do have to say, the packaging for these lip products are pretty cool. They come in a black cardboard packaging, with gold writing. The packaging of the lip products themselves is a glass packaging, with a black lid.

Kooky is a purple colour and is great for vamping up a look. It's also a very good colour for Halloween.

Reckless is a deep red colour and is great for Classic pin-up looks and for an everyday look, if your brave enough to wear a red lip everyday that is :)

These lip products are really good, the formulation is amazing, as is the pigmentation. When they dry, they dry to a matte finish and last pretty much all day. In total there are five lip colours in this range and they are priced at £3.00.

So if your looking for a lip colour that not only looks great and dries to a matte finish, the these are possibly the lip products for you :)

 

Do I like these lip lacquers? Yep :)

Would I recommend them? Yep

Would I try more colours in the range? Definitely

 

Thankyou for taking the time to read this :) I really do appreciate it :)

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers: Across the Universe and Shooting Star

Hello again Everyone :)

So if you've already, read my review/ramble (I tend to do that a lot...teehee) of the Rimmel London Apocalips range then you will know how awesome I think they are :) (Besides the smell...but I can get past that :)) So when I heard that they had brought out some new colours, I decided to give them a try.

Now I only picked two up but I do plan on getting some more. So the two I picked up just happen to be red and nude (I have an obsession with those two colours lately...it's crrraaazzzy).

 

 

 

The two colours that I added to my collection are Across the Universe (The Red colour) and Shooting Star (The Nude colour).

 

Across the Universe is a slightly deeper red than Big Bang. Where as Big Bang is more of an orangey/pinky (I can't really decide if it's orange or pink) toned red, Across the Universe is more burgundy toned and more suitable for the Autumnal/Winter months (I however will wear it in the Spring/Summer because it's such a gorgeous colour).

 

Shooting Star is more of a darker nude compared to Nude Eclipse. Where as Nude Eclipse is a nude with a pink undertone, Shooting Star is more of an orangey toned brown. Both of these nude colours look great with a smokey eye.

 

Now as I previously said, in my other Rimmel Apocalips review, the staying power of these lips lacquers is out of this world (see what I did there :D) and the pigmentation of them is amazing. The smell how ever is the only fault I can find with these products, I can't really describe the smell but it's kind of earthy, but for the quality of the product itself....I can get past that.

 

If your looking to buy some of these Lip Lacquers then you can find them anywhere that sells Rimmel London Products ( Superdrug, Boots, Tesco etc.) and they are normally around the £5.99/£6.99 price range.

 

As you can see in the pictures above they have a glossy finish, but they don't budge (you may want to blot the product after you've applied it so your teeth don't end up the same colour) and will last you pretty much all day.

 

 

Do I like these lip lacquers? Yep except for the smell but I can get past that :)

Would I recommend them? Yep

Would I try more colours in the range? Definitely

 

Thankyou for taking the time to read this :) I really do appreciate it :)

Hello Kitty Lipsticks

Well hello again Everyone!!!

So I've seen a few YouTubers (That I'm subscribed to) talk about these lipsticks and I thought to myself 'I would like to try them out', and it just so happens that the last time I was in Superdrug, I noticed these lipsticks. There were a variety of colours but these two really caught my eye.

First of all, can we just admire the packaging. Seriously though, How cute is it? Not only that but the colour of Hello Kitty's Head is a good indication as to what the colour of the actual lipstick might be (as shown in the above picture). The two colours that are shown in the pictures are Urban Punk (which is the light peachy-pink colour) and Underground Queen ( which is a Hot pink colour). Now I do apologise for the lighting in these pictures, my photography skills are pretty shocking.

However, getting back onto the subject of these lipsticks. They are pretty amazing quality for the price they are. The lipsticks are individually priced at £1.99 and the pigmentation is freaking amazing, they also have a really good lasting quality as well.



As you can see in the pictures of the swatches Urban Punk (The peachy colour) is quite light and is very similar to Collection's Lipstick in Birthday Suit and Underground Queen (The Pink Colour) is definitely a hot pink. These lipstick are pretty comparable to the MUA Lipsticks which are only £1

Do I like these lipsticks? Yes
Would I recommend them? Yes I would
Would I try more colours in the range? I may be tempted to :)

Stay Beautiful
Stay Awesome

Thankyou for taking the time to read this :) I really do appreciate it :)

Review: New MUA £1 Matte Lipsticks

Hey ALL!!  Today I have a review for you guys, so let's go ahead an get started.

As you all know MUA is my favourite all round brand, their products are affordable and amazing quality. So when I heard that they had brought out some new products, I jumped at the chance to purchase some of them. One of the products they brought out was a new Matte range which included, lipsticks and a new eyeshadow palette. In this review I'm going to be reviewing the lipsticks from this range.

L-R: Scarlet Siren, Peachy Keen and Wild Berry



 

Scarlet Siren is a classic staright red colour, meaning it doesn't have an undertone to it. This colour is great for everyday wear, if your going to a special event or maybe even a night out.

Scarlet Siren Swatched

Peachy Keen is a gorgeous pinky coral colour, This colour is great for everyday wear and looks great with a smoky eye.

Wild Berry looks a nice berry in the packaging, but when swatched the colour is a gorgeous purple. This can be used for everyday wear (if you like that sort of thing). In my opinion this colour is a perfect Autumnal colour, it looks great with either a neutral or smoky eye.

 

 



Wild Berry Swatched

 

Wild Berry in the Packaging

 

The lipsticks are amazingly matte, have great pigmentation, come in a Chic white packaging and like with all MUA lipstick they come with a little pot that you can unscrew from the bottom of the tube, that contains more of the product

. Where as some matt lipsticks can be drying, these are really quite moisturizing. I would recommend wearing a lip balm underneath though. The staying power of these lipstick is amazing, and I only had to reapply them twice throughout the day. However this is going to be different for everybody.

Would I recommend these? Yes. Would I buy them again? Definitely. My Verdict: is that once again MUA have created yet another amazing product. :)

So if you see these in your local Superdrug then I would recommend picking them up :)

Review: Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers

I've heard so many good things about these lip lacquers, so I decided to try them for my self. In total there are 8 Lip Lacquers, Galaxy, Celestial, Nova, Apocaliptic, Big Bang, Luna, Stellar and Nude Eclipse. Of these 8 I have 6 and here are the swatches for them.

L-R: Nude Eclipse, Stellar, Big Bang, Apocaliptic, Galaxy and Celestial
 

Apocaliptic

Big Bang

Celestial

Galaxy

Nude Eclipse

Stellar

Each lip lacquer is highly pigmented and has a very good staying power. Apocaliptic is a hot pink colour, Big Bang is a nice bright red colour, Celestial is a rosy pink colour, Galaxy is a pink/purple with purple glitter, Nude Eclipse is a nice neutral colour and possible the most disliked colour of the bunch (I for one really like it) and finally stellar has more of a corally pink edge to it.

I do like these lip lacquers and they are great if you don't want to go through the trouble of applying lip liner, then lipstick. The only thing that I find that I don't like about them is the smell, I can't really put a name to it, but its not too overpowering.

I would give these lip lacquers a 8/10.
