Hey beauties, 

This week is Smooch week. 
I was very, very kindly sent a bundle of products to try, so I figured I would dedicate a week to reviewing said products. 
I have given them a good test and I feel this week may come in handy, if you do ever fancy purchasing a few new items.

Black Lash Mascara* is Smooch Cosmetics only mascara. 

The packaging is the usual matte black and lace detailing. Personally, I like the simplicity of it. 

The brush is pretty big, but grabs onto the lashes really well. Other than that, it's quite a standard brush. 
The mascara itself is pretty wet, but not too wet that it doesn't apply evenly. 

I find this mascara works best after curling the lashes. The mascara doesn't give much curl, but goes create a good amount of volume and length. 

This is a great every day mascara, and makes a  whip on and go product, if you don't want to fuss with anything else. 

One last point I'd like to make, is this mascara is easily removed. I don't know about you guys, but I hate having to battle with my mascara every night. 

For £8.95 this is a great affordable mascara. You can find it over on the Smooch Cosmetics website.

I used to be an avid kohl pencil user, but I seemed to have lost my love for smokey eyes in the past few months.

The Smooch Cosmetics Kohl pencil* is very much like the lip liner, the product is at one end and on the other end is an applicator. 
The kohl liner includes a smudge applicator, which I think is perfect.

The liner itself isn't the blackest black, but it is smooth and works great in the waterline. 
I found it smudged and blended easily, both using the smudge applicator and a brush. 

I found this lasted well throughout the day, but I did find it transferred a little onto my eyelids, giving me ever so slight panda eyes. 

If you want to try this out for yourself, you can purchase it at the Smooch Cosmetics website.

As I posted a eyeshadow duo earlier this morning, I'll try not to repeat myself too much.
If you'd like to see what I think of the packaging, feel free to pop over to the previous post.

Suede* is comprised of a soft rose shade, and a deep bronze.
Again, both shades are incredibly pigmented and long lasting. I adore these shades and I feel they are both great stand alone colours, or can be worked together to create a more multi tonal look. 

The shadows are smooth and easy to apply. 

I've been using this duo during the day as I find is compliments blue eyes and makes them look so much brighter. 
I have also found the rose shade makes for a fabulous brow and inner corner highlight. 

The Duos are available for only £9.50 and are available here. If Suede* isn't for you, there is a large range to choose from.

As well as receiving some fabulous products to try out, I was also very lucky to be sent a couple of beautiful nail polishes!

The shades I received are Candy Coated* , an amazingly beautiful hot pink, and Perfect Parfait*, a coral-ly toned orange. Both shades of which I hadn't already got in my collection. 
The polishes retail for £6.50 and follow the matte packaging design. 

I've played around with these during the past week. For a good opaque nail, I found I had to apply three coats, which I wouldn't say is unusual. 
Both shades have worn well and lasted without chipping for three days. 

I very much like these polishes and I would love to pick up a few more shades. Aren't these ones just perfect for the Summer!

Can you believe this is my first ever lip liner?
As a total lipstick lover, I'm ashamed to say it is. 
DSC_0152DSC_0153DSC_0154
The Smooch Cosmetics lip liner in Nearly Naked* is a simple pencil and brush duo.
The pencil itself is a pretty muted berry shade, almost a your lips but better kind of colour. The product is soft and smooth to apply.
The pencil sharpens well, without causing any damage to the actual lip liner itself. 

I have used this liner under ever lipstick I have worn since receiving it. 
The matte finish helps to grip any other product placed on top, providing a great barrier and eliminating any feathering. 
Personally I feel this is now a must have product in my collection. I would repurchase 100x over.

The brush is a great little extra. It's soft and easy to work with.

You can purchase this must have on the Smooch Cosmetics website for £4.95

These are three shades from the Smooch Cosmetics lipstick range.*
I was sent Rocking Red*, Popping Pink*, and Trufflicious*?? (It said Trufficious on my box, Trufflicious on the webpage and Truffilicious on the tab in Chrome.)
The packaging is the usual matte finish, with Smooch's signature lace detailing. They definitely stand out in my lipstick draw. 
With each lipstick, you receive 3g of product.

All of theses lipsticks have a gorgeous glossy finish. The red and brown shade both being rather pigmented, and the pink being a little more sheer. Although with a little bit of work, as you can see in the above photo, you can get a very good colour pay off. 

As a lipstick lover, I am always keen to try out new products, and these have not failed to impress me. 
The Smooch Cosmetics lipsticks are not drying in the slightest, and are very comfortable to wear. I feel they're a great product to just apply and forget about for a couple of hours. 

After a few hours, they could do with a little re-application. But I feel that is to be expected with such a glossy product. I personally have a tendency to rub my lips together more when I'm wearing a glossy lip product. 

I feel the longevity of these products is backed up by the fact that they are a little staining. Meaning even when they do become a little thin, you don't have to worry too much about the clown lips look. I feel you always have some kind of colour on your lips.

Each lipstick is available for £7.50 on the Smooch Cosmetics website.

This is the Smooch Bronzer in Smooched*. 
Packaged in the sleek and simple black casing , you receive a great 10g of product. This includes a highlighter shade (which can be seen below,) that is neatly swirled into the bronzer.
The packaging is very much like that of Nars, and can get a little grubby due to it's matte, rubberised finished. But, this does mean that it's less likely to slip out of your hands.
Inside the casing is a handy brush and a huge mirror. I was really impressed.
I would definitely be happy to remove my compact mirror from my hand bag if I was to be carrying this around with me during the day.

The bronzer itself is a lovely tan shade, with a soft shimmer. It may be a little too orange toned for the fairer skinned, although I very much like it for myself. After all, I do love my bronzer. 
The highlighter is beautiful both on its own and mixed together with the bronzer. I did find it a little hard to use it alone as it's so thinly run through the product. I discovered using a tapered brush was the best was to pick up the highlighter only, if you do wish to do so. 

I found this may not be the best bronzer for use as a contour shade, due to its shimmer. But, this may be purely down to my own preference. Each to their own. 
It does on the other hand look amazing softly swept across the higher points of the face. I absolutely cannot wait to wear this is Summer when I have a little more colour in my skin to compliment it. 

If you are a bronzer fan like me, or even just want to give your skin a lovely bit of colour and glow, this is the product for you. 
When the sun is out, this is what I'll be reaching for. 

You can purchase this on the Smooch website for £13.95.
