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!

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,

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.

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.

Morphe Brushes - Eyeshadow Swatches

Hey Guys!
A couple weeks back I ordered some eyeshadows from Morphe Brushes as I'd heard they were incredible for their price from lots of YouTubers and also one of my favourite YouTubers, Jaclyn Hill had just released her favourites palette with them.

I also ordered a few brushes which I'm loving so let me know if you want a post on them! I thought I'd just do a brief swatch post of the eyeshadows I purchased... Sorry for the names of some of them being numbers, it's all they have written on the bottom!

The first row in my palette are more neutral and also darker colours. My favourite is definitely Bronzed Ivy (2nd from the right) even though it is more of a bronze than an ivy it is a beautiful colour. Ice (4th from the left) seemed to be the least pigmented and hardest to swatch however all the colours are very smooth and creamy which is perfect for neutral colours. 

(From left to right) 27, Gunpowder, Velveteen, Ice, 18, Bronzed Ivy, Porcelain

This next row of colours follow a brighter pattern, which I'm not used to wearing however I got these so I can start experimenting more! I LOVE the shade 80 (far right) as it is a perfect matte mix of baby blue and mint green and will be perfect for summer. Also Secretive (far left) is a perfect matte burgundy shade which I love!

(From left to right) Secretive, Radiance, 56, Dancing Queen, Starlight, 80

The last row of the two remaining shades are both baby pinks, one being a shimmer shade with little bits of glitter in (29) and the second shade being a matte baby pink (Pretty in Pink) which is definitely one of my favourite shades that I got - i'm currently loving bright matte shades!

(From left to right) 29, Pretty in Pink

Overall I love these shadows and the shades I picked. They are incredibly affordable at less than £2 a shadow however postage to the UK got quite expensive! I plan to do some makeup looks with these soon and experiment a lot so let me know if there's any particular colour I should use. Hope you enjoyed this post!
