Beautylish

So I got directed to this incredible website yesterday, it's a whole website dedicated to blogging/vlogging on beauty. I'm not sure how popular it is but I hadn't heard of it since yesterday so I thought it might be good to let people know about it.

 

 Beautylish.com

These are just a very small sample of the pictures on the site, it's great if you want to something a bit different and need some inspiration.

Let me know what you think of this site and if you've used it before

P.S I think I'm in love with the nails on the middle left

Body Shop Love Gloss

Body Shop are really famous for the Body Butters ( of which I own about ten), however the makeup really isn't spoken about very much. I had my Makeup done there (for free!) and at the time the deal was buy any two makeup items and receive a  free Mascara ( worth £10), so I buckled and chose this gloss and a foundation brush. This shade is definitely still sold by Body Shop ( at least it was as of last week ), but for some reason they don't have it on the website, but should you want to look for other colours then 'clicky'.

I love both he packaging and applicator of this product, it looks very high end and it's one of those products that you would be proud to have in your makeup bag. As for the look of the product on the lips, it looks beautiful, very shimmery but not cheap looking, it's also a very flattering shade that would compliment most skin tones, it's not very pigmented at all, but I don't think it's supposed to be.

I feel like I'm insulting the product by using this picture as it doesn't even come close to showing how pretty the product is. Just for clarification the gold colour is an eyeliner swatch for a different review. The shimmery pink in the middle is this lip gloss.

I'm so disappointed with the picture as I feel like the look of the product is it's main redeeming feature. It feels very sticky on the lips and you can even feel the little specks of glitter when you pres your lips together, which isn't awfully pleasant. However if you leave your lips alone it will last as long as you would expect a £10 lip gloss to last.

All in all, I do love the look of this whenever I wear it, but saying that I don't wear it very often because a) It's too expensive for everyday wear and b) I have to be in a mood where the feel of it won't bother me. I should really point out that this is my most expensive lip product to date and it's sadly, despite the prettiness it is not my favourite. In hindsight I really wish I had bought the Blusher ( Shade Petal), which looks terrifying in the pan but was actually beautiful.

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette

I hardly feel like this palette is worth reviewing as there are sooo many reviews out there, and they all say the same thing. "It's fantastic!" I've been wanting this for a while but my local Superdrug doesn't stock it, so you can imagine how happy I was when I found it . You can buy the palette here for £3! I paid £4 in store, and for ten good sized eye shadows I think that's pretty damn good!

As you can see I've used mine quite a bit already, it's just such an easy palette to default to for both morning and night. You can make a lot of really beautiful looks out of these shadows, the pigmentation is especially good on the darker colours, saying that the highlight colour is really pigmented for a highlight.

 

The only thing that might put some people off is that a lot of the colours are shimmery. I love a little shimmer at night and I think well applied subtle shimmer can look beautiful for day time, so this doesn't bother me personally but I thought I should give you a heads up. 

In conclusion I would without doubt recommend this, it's a really nice range of warm colours that are incredibly flattering and I think I will be trying out some of the other palette's MUA has to offer.
