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!
Beth xoxo

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!

First Impressions: Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Hello!
Last week I picked up a couple of new foundations as my beloved L'oreal True Match was on it's way out... I didn't want to rebut it just yet as foundations are something I never really try out and experiment with so I thought it was time to try some new ones!

I picked up the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation as I personally prefer a more dewy look and I've heard so many bloggers and friends rave about it. I've tried it out a few times now and it's definitely become my new everyday foundation. It is incredibly dewy and like the name states does give your skin a healthy glow. At first, the shade I picked seemed slightly yellow but once the rest of my makeup was done it matched my skin perfectly. 

Even though it is meant to be a dewy finish, I think that this foundation definitely needs a powder over it as it can look slightly wet. Because of this it almost mixes with my concealer so I make sure to powder before I add any more layers. This foundation has now become a staple in my collection and I would definitely recommend it! I picked it up for £9.99 at Superdrug UK which for a foundation didn't seem to expensive. 

I would definitely recommend this to anyone however it will work best will normal/dry and dry skin types. What foundation have you guys been loving? I'd love to try some more dewy finish foundations out!

Hope you enjoyed/found this useful!

Spring Makeup Essentials

Hi Guys!
As the weather has been amazing recently in the UK and we're finally in spring, I thought I'd do a post on my spring makeup essentials! Some of these products are new to my collection and some I've had forever! So here's my picks... 

MAC Strobe Cream

I've recently been using this under my foundation as a base or mixed in with it to add a beautiful natural glow to the skin. It's perfect for spring/summer as it creates a dewy finish to any foundation without looking sweaty. I will be buying the full size of this soon!

MAC Face and Body Foundation

I have this shade a bit darker than my normal skin colour as I use it when I'm tanned - especially on holiday. Its a water based foundation and is so light weight on the skin so is perfect for summer! Its also waterproof yet still gives good coverage. My perfect summer foundation!

MUA Spring Break Eyeshadow Palette

I only picked up this palette today but the colours and pigmentation are amazing for just £4! The light blue shade (Bottom row, 4th in) is the perfect spring shade for adding a pop of colour to any look! I love using these shades to smoke out my lower lash line for a more wearable colourful look.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Soft and Gentle

I don't have many highlighting products but this is definitely my favourite. Again doing the same as the Strobe Cream, this is perfect for a dewy glowing look. I apply this on the very top of my cheekbones with a fan brush and it gives the most beautiful radiant glow!

Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream - Petal

I also only picked this product up this morning but have been wearing it all day and loving it. I have a red from this Matte Me collection and think the formula is incredible. They apply as a lip cream or liquid lipstick and within a minute they are completely matte and will not budge. I love a matte lip and think that this colour is perfect for spring!

MAC Dreaming Dahlia

Tanned skin and coral lips is always the dream look for me during summer. I picked this lipstick up last year and I'm pretty sure it was from the 'A Fantasy of Flowers' MAC collection but don't quote me on that... There's so many good coral/orange lipsticks at the drugstore however this is my favourite coral shade that I own! A definite must for summer.

MAC Kelly Yum-Yum

This lipstick was from the Kelly Osborne collection at MAC and the colour to me just screams summer! I find it so hard to wear these bright pink lip colours during winter as I personally just don't think it looks right so I'll definitely be getting good use out of this in the upcoming months! MAC no longer sell this lipstick however it is almost identical to their shade 'Candy Yum Yum' so check it out!

That brings me to the end of my Spring Makeup Essentials! Are there any products you can recommend to me for spring? I will be doing a tutorial soon and will incorporate some of these products into it! 

Hope you enjoyed,

Hot Or Not - Kiko Face Makeup Fixer

Hello!
Just a quick post today as I've been having a very busy Easter so haven't had much spare time, but from this week will be back to posting more than once a week! I picked up the Kiko Face Makeup Fixer online a few weeks ago just because I was intrigued by the name and thought it would be a great setting spray! I've now used it at least 5 times if not more and to me it disappointingly is just a light hairspray without the hold...

Kiko claim that the spray is 'Fragrance Free' but when I first sprayed it, it smelt (and tasted) just like a chemical filled hairspray. It doesn't leave the face slightly hard or sticky like a normal hairspray would but it also didn't fix any of my makeup or personally make my makeup stay on longer than normal. I'm definitely going to keep trying out this product just in case anything good does happen, but for now this product is way more NOT than it is HOT for me!

That's it for this post, I'll have some spring makeup tutorials and favourites up in the next few weeks as the weather in the UK has just got a lot warmer!

Hope you enjoyed,

Gerard Cosmetics - Swatches and Review

Hi Guys!
I recently made an order with Gerard Cosmetics as there were so many good offers going around for their site. Ever since Jaclyn Hill mentioned them in her videos and then created her own shades with them I knew I had to have them! I got 2 lipsticks, 1 in 1995 and 1 in Berry Smoothie and 2 lip glosses in Butter Cream and Rose Hill.

The Lipsticks - 1995 (Left), Berry Smoothie (Right)

I got 1995 as it is the lipstick shade Jaclyn Hill created with Gerard Cosmetics and if Jaclyn has it, I want it. It's that everyday 'Kylie Jenner' shade and its so creamy and pigmented, I personally love it! It's similar to Velvet Teddy from MAC but more creamy. I also picked up Berry Smoothie which at first I was worried that it was too similar to 1995 but it's got much more rose undertones and is perfect paired with Whirl lipliner! (What isn't?) Definitely will be purchasing some more of these lipsticks as they worked out to less than £10 each and included from worldwide shipping.

1995 (Left), Berry Smoothie (Right)

The Lipglosses  - Rose Hill (Left), Butter Cream (Right)

Surprise surprise, both of these are Jaclyn Hill's creation with Gerard and they are incredible. They're not sticky like a lot of glosses but at the same time remain incredibly pigmented. The packaging is so cute as the tubes have a little mirror on the sides and you might be able to see that the lid lights up when you unscrew it so that you can apply your gloss in the dark/wherever you are. My next gloss I buy will definitely be Nude as I love the consistency of these and Nude is always so raved about.

Rose Hill (Left), Butter Cream (Right)

That's all I got from Gerard Cosmetics for now! Definitely check them out at the moment while they've got such good deals on, it makes everything so much more affordable! 

Hope you enjoyed,

MAC Mehr Lipstick Review

Hello!
I recently posted on my Instagram (@lasheslinerlove) that I had gained a new lipstick to my MAC collection in the shade Mehr! I had 6 empty MAC products which you can see in my recent Empties post and so I went down to my local MAC counter and did Back to MAC. Back to MAC is where you take 6 empty product packaging in replace for a new lipstick, basically helping you to help them! I love this scheme as I feel like it makes it worth paying that extra bit of money for MAC products! It did take me a while to get through the products but felt so worth it when I picked out my new lipstick! So Mehr....

I browsed the lipstick stand for a while knowing that I wanted a nude pinky matte shade, I was temped by Please Me but couldn't stop looking at Mehr. It's a shade i'd never heard of before and couldn't believe that as its beautiful! It's a sort of 'Kylie Jenner' lip but a bit more brown and matches perfectly with my MAC Whirl Lipliner.

I am yet to try a MAC lipstick that I don't like and always looking to build up my collection so I thought this was a great staple colour as it can be worn everyday but also paired with a more intense makeup look for a night out or special occasion.

So that's Mehr! What MAC lipstick should I look at buying next? Or are there any good dupes out there? I'm really looking to try new brands at the moment!
Hope you enjoyed this post and it was helpful.
Speak soon,
