MUA Makeup Academy Professional Eye Shadow Palette | Undressed

Product: MUA eye shadow palette | Undressed

List of colours included: Puff, Rose Ash, Fawn, Gild, Hazel, Lion, Bronze One, Burnished Brown, Tawny, Henna, Fuel, & Cool Grey.

Product cost: £3.99

Where product was purchased: Superdrug

Product review: I really like the look of every colour in this eye shadow palette. I like how the palette is filled with nude colours that are perfect transition colours, and also has a few metallic colours.

My favourite colours in this palette has to be ''Puff'' and ''Hazel''. The colour ''Puff''' is a warm brown colour, perfect for a cut-crease eye make up look.

This is basically a really cheap eye shadow palette that is really worth you having in your make up bag.

LUXE Couture Creme Lipstick by Avon Cosmetics | 'Pink Satin'

Product: LUXE Couture creme lipstick by Avon

Colour: Pink Satin

Product cost: £6.49

Where product was purchased: Avon Cosmetics

Product review: I really like the way this lipstick applies on to the lips. This lipstick feels really creamy.

The colour is full of shimmer and shine, but it is very light. I reckon this lipstick would look a lot better if used as the lighter shade in an ombre lip look. The colour is so light that if makes the lips look rather small. I ordered this out of a catalog and it looked  lot darker on the page, so I was obviously surprised with the light colour I found when the product arrived.

Lanolips Lip Ointment with Colour | Rhubarb

Product: Lip ointment with colour (Rhubarb) by Lanolips

Benefits: Contains over 60% ultra pure grade lanolin. Lanolips is nature's wonder moisturizer. Against animal testing.

Warning: Ointment may pull away from the sides. This is normal and indicates the richness of the product.

Size: 12.5g

Price: £7.99

Where product was purchased: Boots stores

Product review: I really like the scent that has been added to this product. It is very sweet and fresh.

The package doesn't actually seem to come full of the product, which is quite disappointing. It is also super difficult to squeeze the product out of the product.

However, I find that this product stains the lips for a very long time, which is definitely a good thing. This product also really moisturizes the lips, which is one of the aims of the product.

A huge plus to this product is that it has been dermatologically tested and is against animal testing.

I give this product a 6 out of 10.

W7 Photo Shoot 16-hour Budge Proof Foundation | in 'Sand Beige'

Product: Photo shoot 16-hour budge proof foundation

Shade: Sand Beige

Purpose: A foundation to be applied to the face for a flawless finish that lasts for up to 16 hours. It won't transfer on to clothing.

Product cost: £2.99

Where the product was purchased: B&M Stores

Product review: Firstly, I really like how the bottle is actually made of glass. However, this bottle isn't a squirty bottle, meaning that you have to shake the bottle really well to get any product out of the bottle.

But this has been the first time I managed to purchase a foundation that fully matches my skin tone. I don't consider this a full coverage foundation but it covers everything evenly and naturally.

I would really recommend this foundation. It is long lasting, looks natural, it's cheap and super easy to apply once out of the bottle.

TIP: This foundation blends a lot more naturally if you use a beauty blender or make up sponge.

I give this product an 8 out of 10.

Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss by Avon Cosmetics | in Plum Pretty

Product: Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss-6ml by AVON

Colour: Plum Pretty

Product cost: £3.50

Where product was purchased: Avon Cosmetics

Product review: I really like the colour of this lip gloss. However, it is very difficult to apply evenly. The lips always end up looking very patchy. To experiment, I applied this lip gloss on top of concealer/primer and the lip gloss still appears to look patchy in colour.

This lip gloss is also very sticky, the lips literally were constantly sticking together when I spoke.

If it wasn't for the patchiness and constant stickiness, I reckon this lip gloss would be great.

I rate this product a 4 out of 10.

Totally Kissable Lipstick by AVON | in Mauve Allure

Product: Totally Kissable Lipstick

Colour: Mauve Allure

How much did the product cost: £5.29

Where was the product purchased: AVON Cosmetics

Product Review: First of all, this lipstick smells absolutely amazing. Secondly. this lipstick is super creamy and literally applies on to the lips like butter.

Also, this colour is perfect for my skin colour. The only thing that I really dislike about this lipstick is how shiny it is. The colour would loo a lot better if the lipstick was in matte, I think this would really make the lips pop. I find that due to the shine, my lips always end up looking smaller when I wear this lipstick.

Play Paint Velvety Lip/Cheek Cream | Jelly Pong Pong

Product name: Play Paint Velvety Lip/Cheek Cream

Purpose: Tint lips and cheeks without dryness for 10 hours of continuous wear.

Where product was purchased: Jelly Pong Pong

How much did the product cost: £8.95

Product review: I absolutely love this lip ad cheek tint, it really has to be the best that I have found so far. A huge plus side of it is that it is cruelty free, which in the world we live in is rather important.

This lip and cheek tint is super pigmented so you don't actually need to use much, it's one of those products where ''a little goes a long way'' really applies. I prefer to use this tint on my lips and have seen such a huge difference, this tint is very soft on the lips and really fights the dryness of skin on the lips.

This product is formulated with Pumpkin Seed Oil to rejuvenate damaged skin (which was very obvious to me when I used this product). This product also has Rhubarb extract to help protect the skin from moisture loss (another thing that was also very obvious to me when using this product).

I really recommend this protect to anyone wanting to use a long-lasting skin tint that leaves the skin feeling extra soft.

Naturalites False Lashes | Eylure

Product name: Naturalites Flase Lashes

Purpose: Sweet and subtle strip lashes

Where product was purchased: Eylure

How much did the product cost: £4.99

Product review: I love using lashes when I go to an event, they always add that something extra to the make up no matter what it looks like.

I was very impressed with these false lashes. Every set of false lashes I have ever purchased has always made my eyes feel super heavy after application, irritate the eyes and never look natural. These lashes don't only look super natural, but they also feel super light on the eyes. The glue that comes with these lashes also dries super fast and makes the lashes stay on the eyes all day/evening.

I also love that these lashes are reusable. I will definitely be using a lot more of these in the future. Definitely my favorite lashes of all time.

Black Cherry & Passion Fruit Soy Wax Candles | Elemental Scents

Product name: Votive Soy Wax Candles

Scents: Candle #1 = Black Cherry. Candle #2 = Passion Fruit

Where product was purchased: Elemental Scents

How much did the product cost: £2.00 each

Product review: These candles are made from soy wax, which I prefer to purchase for the simple fact that soy candles don't feel so harsh on my breathing when they finish burning, Paraffin candles which are more common, usually leave a very strong Paraffin filled smell in the room when you finish burning them, this often makes me feel sick or light-headed. Due to being made with soy wax, these candles don't do that.

The scents are strong but literally perfect, I prefer lighting these in the summer or on sunnier days because of how fruity the scents are. I find that scents like vanilla feel very heavy in the air in the summer, that is why I prefer these scents in the summer.

I was so surprised of how strong the smell is because these candles literally filled my room with super fruity smells for hours on end. I would definitely recommend these candles to anyone. The link to the store's Facebook has been left below so you can check out other products:

Rose Guest Soaps | Aroma World Store

Product name: Rose Guest Soaps

Scent: Rose

Where product was purchased: Aroma World Store

How much did the product cost: £0.50 each

Product review: These guest soaps are small but literally fill up the room with such a fresh and perfect rose scent.

You have to take the roses off as they are made of fabric. After the rose is off you don't feel so guilty about using them because of their cuteness anymore.

These soaps leave the skin feeling so soft after use. And if you don't want to use them because they are too cute, you can always keep them in the pack and put them in your drawers and they will make your clothes smell lush.

MUA MAKE UP ACADEMY Matte Lipstick | Wild Berry

Product name: MUA Matte Lipstick

Colour: Wild Berry

Where product was purchased: Superdrug

How much did the product cost: £1.00

Product review: This lipstick has to be the best matte lipstick I have laid my hands on as of yet. It's super cheap and I love that it does exactly what it says, it stays matte even if you moisturize your lips before applying the product.

The only negative side of this product is the fact that it doesn't stay on the lips for very long. However, a very positive side is that it slightly stains the lips.

It was good to find a lipstick that goes well with my skin and every day make up. This is definitely the sort of lipstick I will wear with my every day make up.
