Kylie Lip Kits - Review and Swatches

Hi Guys!
An exciting post today, considering this were in my beauty wish list just last week i'm very proud to say that I got my hands on two Kylie Lip Kits! I got mine in the shades Dolce K and True Brown K however all were available at the time. I wish I would have got a pink shade too, probably Koko K or Candy K as I have SO many brown toned liquid lipsticks and hardly any pinks but still I have no regrets.

Dolce K

Dolce K I personally thought would be my favourite shade out of the 6 available as it seemed to be the perfect nude shade. I love the colour but am unsure how I feel about it on the lips. I've only worn this shade once but to me the actual lipstick was drying and flaky. The lipliner does help and they are honestly the creamiest lip liners I think i've ever tried. I need to wear this a few more times before I find out how to wear it best for my lips, this might mean trying it with a lip mask underneath but i'll let you know!

True Brown K
True Brown K felt like a complete different formula to Dolce K in terms of the liquid lipstick. Its so soft and creamy yet dries to the perfect matte. Definitely a winter shade but I think i've found my new favourite liquid lipstick. This shade will look perfect with a brown smokey eye and the undertones of the shade make your teeth look pearly white!

I know Kylie's restocking the shades every week for a little while now so I'm planning on waiting a few weeks then picking up two more if my student life lets me afford it :( I'd love to get Koko K or Candy K as the three newest shades (Koko K, Posie K and Mary Jo K) have new formulas compared to the original three (True Brown K, Dolce K and Candy K) so this is definitely something I want to try.

I love Kylie and am so excited for Kylie Cosmetics to expand and release tonnes of new products! Have you guys managed to get any lip kits? If not what shade would you love to try?

Thanks for reading!

February Beauty Wish List

Hi Guys,

After putting myself on a makeup spending ban for the month of Feb (unless I can get a kylie lip kit...), this post is very difficult to write. Beauty brands seem to be releasing products left, right and centre and it makes it almost impossible to keep up with the latest products. I've put together a little collage of some of the things i'm lusting over and who knows maybe i'll get in the4 near future!

1. Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

This seems to be a beauty guru cult favourite. I've never really been into concealer and just stick to what I know, if it works, it works. But when I see people using this concealer it looks so natural and healthy and really seems to conceal dark circles which is a big need for me. I love Urban Decay as a brand and really want to try out their face products. 

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick - Dusty Rose

This is the one product on this list that I think I'm desperate for. It's been so hard to get ABH in the UK and only now are you able to get her brow and contour products from select websites, however her liquid lipsticks still seem impossible to get your hands on. This colour is to die for and is my favourite lip shade, the perfect muted rose pink with a hint of mauve, so in love with this shade.

3. Morphe 350 Palette

I saw a picture on Instagram yesterday joking that the 350 is harder to get the Yeezy's and i've never heard anything more real in my life :( Jaclyn Hill seemed to give this palette it's fame and since then each time it comes back in stock its gone straight away. The warm, neutral colours are perfect for any time of year and it has every colour you need for so many looks. 

4. MAC Burgundy x9 Palette

Another palette I'm lusting over recently. The MAC Burgundy x9 palette was released with 2 other palettes in the collection for a reduced price than the normal palette as it is a lot smaller than the rest of the MAC shadows. The 9 shades are all permanent shades however I love that this palette is smaller as it's perfect for travelling.

5. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Another cult favourite, everyone and their mother seems to have this even though it's SO expensive. I love how it makes the skin so dewy and flawless and lasts all day and think this may be worth the money but i'll have to try it to find out! 

6. Houses of Lashes - Iconic 

I'm starting to get into lashes a bit more but still have only ever tried drugstore or cheaper branded lashes. For me House of Lashes are quite expensive but are still affordable compared to say some mink lashes which are on the market. I've seen so many YouTubers wearing these and they look stunning so i'd love to try them out.

7. Kylie Lip Kit

As I said earlier, these will be the only makeup I spend money on IF I can get my hands on one! I was so close at the first release but missed it by a second and they are rumoured to be releasing again this week with the original shades and also 3 valentines shades. I am desperate for Dolce K and True Brown K and I am so in love with the packaging. I hate to say that I'm obsessed with Kylie Jenner and just getting an insight to her lifestyle and I honestly think that creating these lip kits is the best things she's done!

Hopefully i'll get a couple of these things over the next year and will let you know what I think! What are you lusting after at the moment? Let me know!

Mini Beauty Haul - Topshop, MAC, Ardell

Hi Guys!

To get myself started back into blogging I thought i'd show you just a couple of bits that i've recently picked up. I've tried to not spend too much money in January but I was in Amsterdam a couple of days ago for my boyfriends birthday so passed duty free and I also had a Topshop voucher. So here's what I got...

MAC Stone Lipstick 

I've wanted this lipstick for what seems like forever since I've heard so many Youtubers raving about it. I'm yet to try it but love how it looks and it is such a unique colour for me as it's something I'm not used to. Hopefully you'll see this in a favourites post soon!


Topshop Mink Lipstick

As I said I had a Topshop voucher and I took this oppurtunity to try out one of their lipsticks. I swatched all the colours that my local store had but this is the one that stuck out most to me. I worn it a couple of times in the last week and I love it, it's the perfect browny mauve shade and is so creamy. I definitely want to pick up more shades of the Topshop lipsticks as supposedly they're made in the same factory as MAC and there formulas are identical.


Ardell Natural Demi Wispies

Another product I've wanted to try for so long, mainly because of Youtuber Nicole Guerriero. I have no eyelash application skills so I always give up and end up just packing on mascara instead but supposedly these lashes are great for beginners and are also stunning so i'm ready to give them a go!


Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask

Another product I picked up in Topshop mainly because I love face masks. At the moment I pretty much only use the Mask of Magnaminty from Lush but I want to try out some new great, affordable ones. I got this mask in the scent strawberry + yarrow so i'm interested to see how this makes my skin feel as it's meant to target clogged pores.


MAC Ellie Goulding I'll Hold My Breath Blush/Bronzer Duo

Last but not least is this MAC duo. Personally I'm not bothered by Ellie Goulding as a singer but I really did love the look of this collection. I only picked up this product however because I thought it would be perfect for travel as it is a 2-in-1 product. I've tried out the bronzer a few times now and its a sheer natural pretty bronze but I do really like how it sits on my foundation. I am yet to try the blush as to me it is more of a spring/summer colour but it swatches very creamy and pigmented.


That's all the products i've picked up recently so I hope you enjoyed! If there's any new products you recommend let me know!

Thanks for reading,

Life Update - Back At It

Hey Guys!
It's literally been 8 months since I last blogged but I got lazy, didn't blog for a while and thought it was too far gone to save, but I'm back to start again and give it another try.
I've got SO much more makeup to share since I last blogged and like to think my skills might have improved? I've been working a lot at Uni and also have been working on my music a lot which is again why my blog did not survive the last 8 months....
Aiming to post once a week or thereabout so we'll see how it goes! In the meantime here's a recent picture of me from Christmas time and I hope to be back soon! Also not too keen on my actual blog name.... any suggestions? Social media links are all below!

Tartelette Palette Review and Swatches

Hi Guys!
Sorry that it's been a while but I had a bit of an accident last week and fell and cut my face so no tutorials for a while! 
Anyway I picked up the Tarte Tartelette palette last month after waiting forever to get my hands on it! It's difficult to get Tarte in the UK so I ended up getting it on amazon for a little bit more than the normal price. 

The palette is a combination of the perfect neutral matte shades and is paired into 3 lines which almost create looks in themselves. My favourite line is the middle as it creates a pinky mauvey Kylie Jenner look. The shades are not the most pigmented in the world however they are so creamy for a powder and blend to perfection.

I've swatched all of the shades on my arm in order..... 

From left to right - Free Spirit, Force of Nature, Dreamer, Multi-tasker, Caregiver, Natural Beauty, Best Friend, Bombshell, Super Mom, Wanderer, Power Player, Fashionista

Overall I think this palette has a great combination of matte shades; especially neutrals and there are so many great looks to be made. As for quality I think there are better on the market as individual shades however I am yet to find such a great all matte palette. 

Hope you enjoyed!

MAC Outlet Haul

Hi Guys!

It feels like it's been forever since I last blogged and it literally has been nearly a month! I've had a lot of work on and it was also my birthday at the end of April so i've been all over the place but I finish my first year of uni on Monday so i'm aiming to get back on track with posting from then!

I went to Liverpool for the first weekend of May and while I was there I visited a little makeup outlet store so I thought i'd show you what I picked up! I will leave a link and all the information about the store at the end of the post. The store sells everything at a reduced price however it is usually old collections or limited edition items that are no longer being sold.

The first two things I picked up were two nail varnishes in the shades Rain of Flowers (Left) and #Obsessed (Right). They are both beautiful colours and I picked them up for £7 each instead of £10 RRP. Rain of Flowers looks like a dark navy blue with purple reflects in the bottle but when applied to the nail it is the other way round, a dark purple with blue reflects. 

#Obsessed is a pink with glitters of silver, blue and green. In my swatch (below) I applied two coats of each but personally I would apply #Obsessed over a pink colour varnish to make the glitters pop more as I think it's perfect for summer!

I picked up two eyeshadows in the shades Bamboo (Left) and Yogurt (Right). They are both matte shades and I had actually been looking at buying Yogurt for my collection so was so surprised to see in the outlet store! I got them for £9.25 each instead of £13 RRP which is a great deal. 

Bamboo is a light orange brown and Yogurt is perfectly named with it being a baby pink chalky yogurt shade. They are both perfect for spring and summer and Bamboo seems like the perfect staple crease colour. I have a MAC palette so will be depotting them both.

Lastly I got a Fluidline Eye Pencil in the shade Black Brilliance. I am yet to try this eyeliner but it swatches incredibly black and very smooth so i'm hoping it will be a new favourite! I picked this up for £11 instead of £15.50 RRP.

That's all I picked up so I hope you enjoyed! As I said I will leave all information about the store at the bottom of the post as they not only sell MAC but Estee Lauder, Clinique, Smashbox and many other brands so it's definitely worth checking out! I will be posting some tutorials soon so look out for those! Speak soon,
