eBay beauty finds!

I have recently had a eBay shop and came across some gems , so I thought I would share them with you ...

This a 10 piece makeup brush kit, it has a range of bigger brushes you could use for foundation and for setting under the eyes and buffing makeup in and then 5 smaller brushes I use for blending my eye shadows or even for blending concealer in. None of the hairs fall out of these brushes and work lovely with makeup all for £3.99.

There are many sellers on eBay sealing this product so make sure you are getting the most out of your money.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10pcs-Kabuki-Style-Professional-Make-up-Brush-Set-Foundation-Blusher-Face-Powder-/182179331204?hash=item2a6abbfc84:g:nvUAAOSwHoFXuyky






I love this brush I use if for applying my foundation when I want a good coverage on my face its very well made and I find it really easy to clean it, I will normally go in with a blending brush after using this just to make sure its all blended in well , great value for money!

This tool is a must have when it comes to cleaning your brushes and with all these new cleaning gloves coming out at the moment this is a much cheaper version I have been using this every day since it came it makes cleaning your brushes so easy. It has a hole in the middle what allows you to put your fingers so you can really get a good scrub off your brushes !

I got these glitters off eBay they have a massive range of shades and I use either the two faced glitter glue or an eyelash glue works just as good. On eBay they have loads of deals when you buy 3 get 3 free for example and are normally priced around a pound so for 6 glitters is 3 pounds !!! They look amazing on eyes and would be good for the festival times.

Ebay Is the best place for buying acrylic storage. I love the lipstick holders there so good and so worth the money and can see you lipsticks much easier.

Mua undress me two palette

 

Undress me two palette - £4!!!

 

Yes that's correct I haven't just had a typing error this palette is £4 pound from MUA!

This palette has a good selection off matte and shimmer nude toned eye shadows, you can see from my swatches how pigmented they are for so cheap, your getting 12 shades for £4. This palette is a good dupe for the naked 2 palette by urban decay what is £38 pound!

 

These shades all blend beautifully the only thing I didn't like was the black felt very ruff and was not vey pigmented compared to the other shades when I was swatching them they all felt very soft and creamy where the black was very ruff and not smooth at all, but its not to hard to find a matte black somewhere else.

 

The shimmer shades in this palette look stunning and so pretty on the lid and there's a champagne coloured one that looks lovely as a brow bone highlight to just finish of that look.

 

I love this palette for the price its amazing definitely worth trying, if you have this palette let me know if your black eye shadow was ruff compared to the others or it may just be that I have a fault with my palette.

 

Head to superdrug to pick this palette up :)

Maybelline - The nudes palette

Maybelline have recently brought out two new eye shadow  palettes one being called the nudes and the other called Blushed nudes palette. I much preferred the nude palette because  the blushed nudes had to many pink and purple shades in it and I don't tend to ever lean to them shades on me.

This palette has some beautiful shades in and all off them are soft and creamy and blend out beautifully, you can create a whole eye shadow look with this palette so its great for using when traveling instead of taking loads of single eye shadows with you. It has a mixture of mattes and shimmer colours in it and two pretty highlighting shades for under the brow bone.

This is one of the best drug store eye palettes out there in my opinion and is only £9.99 !

Mac eyeshadow must haves!

I love mac eye shadows, these are my 5 favourite ones...


Rule

Rule is a true strong orange colour I love this shade for a transition colour it makes other eye shadows blend beautifully and looks great on olive skin tones.


Texture

Texture is a  darker orange brown shade I love this to darken up my crease If rule is to bright for the look I am going for this eye shadow would suit a paler skin tone as a transition colour rather than rule.


Rice paper
 

Rice paper is one of my oldest favourites and one of my first mac eye shadows I love this shade as a base colour It just gives a lovely sheen to the eye nothing to heavy I love this shade for under my brow bone too its just a subtle but stunning shade.

Swish chocolate

Swish chocolate is a grey toned brown its blends beautifully for a natural smoked eye and is great for creating a smoked out eyeliner look.

Mythology

My last one is mythology its a beautiful copper shade I love copper eyes and this is the best one I have found, it looks stunning just put all over the lid I always spray my brush with makeup setting spray and then pick up the product just so it looks even more sparkly.

Simple cleansing facial wipes

These are my best makeup wipes I have ever tried and would never try anything different I have very sensitive skin and these are the only wipes that does not irritate my skin!

It says it removes waterproof mascara what is always a bonus, it has multi-vitamins in them, No alcohol, oil and no artificial perfume or harsh chemicals in them.

They make my skin feel so clean and fresh once I have used them I tend to use one every night sometimes after using my face wash or just using them on there own are brilliant to. With some makeup wipes I tried they left my skin feeling tight and sore and left my skin feeling really wet for a long time so I couldn't move on to do my skin care routine an till it had dried, but with these I apply my skin care seconds after using them and it all works wonderful together.

 

Defiantly worth trying!! They really are simple :)

Collection speedy highlighter

♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥

I got this product about 3 days ago and im so in love with it !!

Its such an easy product to use it blends beautifully this is a great dupe for all the more expensive highlighting sticks that are coming out now but there is no need to spend loads of money when this one is just as good for only £3.99! You can defiantly build up the highlighter to make it as intense as you want it or use it for a base for powder highlighter defiantly worth trying!!

 

Revolution ultra contour kit

 

IM BACK !

 

Revolution ultra contour kit - £8.00 (superdrug)

♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥ ♥  ♥  ♥

 

This is the revolution ultra contour kit a dupe for the Anastasia contour kit. I have been using this palette for about 2 weeks now and iv had time to try it out, the first shade (top left) is just a normal matte pink toned powder what is really good I use this all over my face to matte it and its actually quite good! The next shade across from that is a yellow toned matte powder I use this to set my under eyes it does set them but it does not brighten them at all its just the same effect as the normal powder so I wont be using that anymore.

 

The next shade is a pink toned highlighter this is a really nice highlighter its pretty identical to the highlighter in the sleek contour kit. I have used this a few times its really pretty shade but its very hard to blend I normally have to go back over it with my powder brush to try blend it more. The next shade is another highlighter this Is a white/gold toned highlighter that is quite glittery I used this on my cheeks the first time I used the powder and it made me look like a glitter ball! I only use this for a under brow bone highlighter but even that is quite intensive. The shade underneath that one is a beautiful bronzed highlighter again a beautiful highlighter but its a pain to blend!!

 

The last 3 shades are all matte bronzer im not to much of a fan off these as you can see in swatches they are not that pigmented I normally have to re apply it about 3 times and after it all it doesn't even last that long and made my fore head look muddy!

 

 

For the price this palette is its good I like the powder and the highlighter even though there not great to blend out but for 8 pound its not bad!
