Small Poundland Beauty Haul ♥

Hey guys!I recently went to pound-land and manage to pick up a few beauty products while I was there. Each of these product were a £1.

First is a Rimmel lipstick! This lipstick is from the Kate Moss Range - 30.
It is a lovely dark pinky/purple colour.

I absolutely love this lipstick!
I was going to pick this colour up on my last trip to boots but decided against it. I am so glad I waiting and I managed to get it for a lot cheaper! I can see this becoming a new favourite of mine!
Its is a little bit like MAC Rebel but more glossy

The next product is another lipstick.
This time it is a Pound land lipstick! - Makeup Gallery.
I have heard some great things about these lipsticks and for a pound you can't really moan about it!

This is in Pink Pop - 13. It is a beautiful colour perfect for the summer time and holidays abroad! I was surprised with how long this lipstick stayed on. I will 100% be going back and picking up some more shades in the future!

Next 2 products are lip liners
I love a good lip liner and these two and such pretty colours I couldn't not pick them up! They are both Rimmel London.

The top one is 057 - Ravish it is an exaggerate lip liner which is more of a crayon than a pencil. It is a pretty reddish brown colour!
The bottom one is 007 Rose Quartz which is a Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses lip liner, this one is a pencil. It is a lovely mauve pink colour!

The last products I picked up are both the same.
They are felt eyeliners from Rimmel London.
I have been using liquid liner since my incident with my Primark Felt Eyeliner

I am loving this eyeliner at the moment but I have to make up I store it upside down with the tip facing downwards else when I next go to use it, it is a little dry and the black lines aren't very pigmented.

I hope you guys liked this little haul post!
I hope you are all well!

MAC Ruby Woo Dupe?! ♥

Hey guys!

My last MAC lipstick dupe is one of my highest viewed posts so I thought if you guys enjoy them I would find another which is what I have done! WOO!

If you haven't seen my last dupe post it on was MAC Rebel you can read it here.

Okay, so the amazing thing about this dupe it that it's not a lipstick.

I needed a new red lip liner and to my surprise it was the same colour, texture and finish as MAC Ruby woo!

The lipliner is Rimmel 1000 kisses Lasting Finish lip liner pencil is 021 red dynamite!

This product retails for £2.99 at Superdrug and Boots!

This is MAC Ruby woo and retails for £15.50

I know MAC have recently brought out a lip liner matching this lipstick which costs £12.50 but that is still a £9.51 saving buying the Rimmel dupe!
This is the part you have all been wanting to see. The colour comparison!


Left - Rimmel lip liner pencil | Right - Mac Ruby Woo

Left - Rimmel lip liner pencil               Right - Mac Ruby Woo

As you can see from the swatches above they both look the same on the lips and in swatches!
Yes, Ruby woo is easier to apply and does show on the lips more red but with a couple of layers of the lip pencil you will get the same pigmentation.
The lip liner in my eyes is better for if you were going to go out and eat or drink with this product on due to it lasting and staining power on the lips.

If you have always wanted to try Ruby Woo but didn't want to spend the £15.50 for the lipstick then this is the perfect way to test it out and for £2.99 you're not breaking the bank on a lipstick that you may not like!

I hope you guys liked this post!
Let me know what you think!

Two perfect drugstore lipsticks for summer! ♥

Hey guys!
Quick post!
I have recently brought two lipsticks which i think are perfect for summer!
Many of my lipsticks are either dark, red or pink!
These lipsticks are lovely and bright and all round wonderful!

The first lipstick is from the Kate Moss Matte collection by Rimmel London in 110. This lipstick is a red which an orange twist making it a tad coral. 
It is one of my favorite lipsticks at the moment!
This lipstick and others from the collection has a strong smell to them but it isn't a sickly sell that would put me off buying it.
Even though this is a matte lipstick it doesn't dry out my lips like other matte lipsticks that i have in my collection.

The next lipstick is a Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in 910 Shocking Coral. This is a lovely bright pink lipstick. 
This is also one of my favorite lipstick at the moment! This lipstick has a sun creamy smell to it which i don't mind at all. 
It is very moisturizing to my lips and doesn't dry them out at all!

I have been wearing these a lot over the past couple of weeks and if you do pick them up i hope you enjoy them as much as i do!
I hope you enjoyed this little post and are having a wonderful morning/evening whatever you may be doing!

MAC Rebel dupe?! ♥

Hey guys! 

As promised my next post is going to be a MAC dupe!

Any of you may have already seen these two lipsticks being compared to each other but I thought why not add another comparison into the mix and show you guys! Plus for those of you who haven't seen these compared you will have by the end of this post! Haha! 

The dupe I have found is a lipstick from America. Now if your from the UK your probably thinking well this isn't helpful to me however your are wrong. This lipstick I am going to mention to you is easy to get a hold of if you have an eBay account. 

The lipstick is from the brand Wet n Wild and the colour is 'Sugar Plum Fairy' which I think is a cute name! It's a semi-matte so just like Rebel it has a slight gloss to it and excellent staining power! When I wear either one of these I end up with pinky/purple lips when I wipe it off at the end of the day! 

I decided to take the tube of both lipstick with flash so you could see how similar they are in the tube and then without flash for on the lips for the same effect. 

As you can see in the tube and on the lips these lipstick are soooo similar, the only little tiny difference you can see is that Rebel is slightly darker but in natural daylight they look the spitting image!

I have actually worn both lipsticks side by side when on a day out and I asked a few people if they thought my lips looked a different colour on each side and they said no and then asked why! 

MAC lipsticks cost £15 and you can pick up the Wet n Wild lipstick for £4.18 including postage from eBay. The lipstick comes from America but the good thing with the company that I brought it off is if you order more than one item from them they will reduce the postage save you paying more than you should.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and maybe in the future I will be able to find a few more dupes for you!

Hope you are all okay!

Small beauty haul from America! ♥

Hey guys! 

I'm so excited to be bringing you this post! 

As I said in a couple of posts back, I was waiting for Postman Pat to bring me a package in the mail! With me being away for the week I didn't know the package had come and when I got home yesterday afternoon I was over the moon to open it! The first thing I did was drop my suitcase and run upstairs to open and try everything out! I'm so happy with these items and will defiantly be purchasing some more!

To start off I'm going to tell you where I got these from. Due to me living in the UK we can't get brands like 'Wet n Wild' and I really wanted to try some of their products as many you tubers and bloggers from America or who have been to America and picked a few products up have given the brand so many positive comments! I didn't really want yo try any eyeshadow so I picked up 6 lipsticks from the 'Wet n Wild' brand and also picked up a 'Jordana' Mascara. There is a website called BeautyJoint.com who ship internationally and offer some of the American products that not everyone can get. I was going to be placing my order threw the website until I found their eBay shop and decided to go that was instead. There is not really a difference in going through eBay or through site but since I was already adding things into my basket in eBay I thought it would just be easier to do it that way. My order came to around £19 and around $31 which for 6 lipsticks and a mascara is very good in my eyes baring in mind a lipstick in the UK from let's say Rimmel costs close on £5. 5x6=30 then you have to add on and extra £5-£10 for a drugstore mascara from rimmel. Meaning the total equals around the £35/£40. Was that good estimate or? Haha!

All of these lipsticks are semi-matte which means they have a bit of a glossy finish are not very drying on the lips!

Let's get on with the post! 

The first lipstick I pick up was 'Don't Blink Pink. This colour is not for the fainthearted as it is a very bright hot pink. This lipstick would be perfect on its on with a bit of eye liner but for me I would possibly wear this with a dark brown eye with with lipstick being a pop of colour! 

The next lipstick I picked up was 'Coral-ine'. This to me is the perfect coral colour. It's not too orangey and it's not to red which is amazing! It's not a very bright in your face coral colour but it is lovely 

The next colour I picked up was 'Purty Persimmon'. This is a lovely orange colour! Like 'Coral-ine' it's not as in your face as the other orange lipstick that Wet n Wild do. 

The next lipstick I pick up was 'Cherry Picking'. This colour is a bit more difficult to explain in colour, it is pink but has a small under tone of a blue/purple. It is meant to be a dupe for RIRI MAC pleasure bomb but since I do not own that lipstick can't give you a side by side swatch comparison. 

The last lipstick is 'Sugar Plum Fairy'. You guys may be wondering why I have only mentioned 5 lipsticks states 6 up at the beginning, this is because I brought two of these lipsticks. For those of you who don't know this lipstick is meant to be the dupe for MAC Rebel which I LOVE. It's one of my all time favorite lipsticks and I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the other colours I ordered so just incise I didn't I would have 2. I will be making a separate post with swatches for this lipstick and MAC Rebal to show you how much of a dupe they are! The colour is a dark purple colour with a small hint of blue. 

The last thing I brought was a mascara from Jordana. I got this mascara due to Lauren Curtis from YouTube raving about this mascara and always using it in her tutorials. I have to say this May be my ultimate favourite mascara! It's perfect for my lashes! It is a volumes in mascara but boy does it pack some length aswell! I wanted to show you guys how this changed my lashes so I took a before and after picture of my lashes but before that this is what the product looks like! 

It may not look much on the picture but i assure you it makes them look rather long! What I like about the brush on this mascara is that it gets into the lashes on the inner corner of my eye and is easy to wing the outer lashes out to give them a bit of a winged look! I love this mascara and may be bulking up on them soon! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Again I'm sorry for not posting recently but I shall be back to posting again every week now! Make sure you stay tuned for a little DIY and the MAC Rebel and Sugar Plum Fairy dupe post!

How to turn a shiny/glossy lipstick to a wonderful matte texture! ♥

Hey guys! 

Over the past couple of months I've been trying to find a matte (red) lipstick that is not high end and doesn't break the bank for a drugstore lipstick! 

The one I've been looking at now for a while is the sleek; stiletto lipstick which is the perfect red cheap matte I've been looking for... Now the only problem is, is that every single time I have gone into my local Superdrug they are ALWAYS sold out! So while I'm waiting for it to come back into stock and for me to finally get my hand on it, I have been doing some research as to how you can turn a normal shiny/glossy lipstick into a matte texture!

I've tried many different things out and none of them have given me the effect as to what this one technique has done and it's face powder... Strange right? But it works! 

If your looking to do this you don't want to use many random type of face power because different ones can change the colour of your lipstick depending on your skin colour and what you use.

I'm going to show you what I mean by showing you a before picture of my lips really shiny and the after effect of the powder!

The lipstick I'm going to be using is MUA; Shade 3. It's a very bright hot pink colour  which I think is stunning up against a tanned skin tone. I'm not very tanned but then again I'm not really pale!

Here is the before picture;

Sorry for the bad quality and how the texture looks on this photo as i started to take pictures the skies turned grey and the rain started pouring :(

Once you have applied your chosen lipstick you need to take a fine translucent powder which you can then dab onto your lips. For this I'm using the ELF; high definition powder which is a fine white dusty powder which you can see from the picture before!

Once you have your powder ready it time for you to dab it all on your lips! For this I'm going to be using my finger to apply to save getting lipstick on a brush which I would then have to wash for the next time I wanted to change the colour up. (I'm lazy like that and it saves the brush from getting too damaged from over washing)

Take small amounts and gently tap on the lips, you don't want to rub on the lips because depending on the formulation of the lipstick it could cause little bumps to form and make your lipstick look awful.

Once you feel like you have applied a generous amount onto your lips it should start to look a little less glossy and it should look something like this!

again not another great picture but you can get the overall idea of what it should look like and what it does!

This little technique is just for the time being i am looking to get the matte lipstick from Superdrug but for now this will do as a little trick to get me by!

Thank you for looking and i hope this little tip will help you!

Don't forget to check back soon for some reviews!
