Dainty Doll - Copacabana Eye Shadow bblogger | beauty | blogger | blue | bright | copacabana | cosmetics | dainty | doll | eyeshadow | face | makeup | nicola | review | roberts | wff | whenflowersfall

Hey beauties!

When it comes to eyeshadow, this shade isn't something I would usually go for. It became part of my collection thanks to it being part of a little pack of Dainty Doll items I picked up in TK Maxx a few months ago. It also contained a blush and lipstick, but with the packet being well sealed, it was difficult to figure out what the colours were before purchasing.

On first impression, I wasn't all too pleased with the shadow. Upon swatching it's seemed very chalky, but the pigmentation was pretty great. I had mixed feelings and it ended up just sitting in my stash barely used. Until Monday.

I felt like doing something a little different and reached for the brightest colour I own. You can see the look I created with it here. 

The shadow is very soft and easily blendable. It also surprised me with very little fallout. As you can see in Monday's post, the colour is vibrant, just as it is in pan. It's so strong that it will not budge entirely unless you use a proper eye make-up remover. I discovered this after a 12 mile bike ride, and the blue was the only thing left on my face. 

As with all Dainty Doll products, I like the sleek and simple packaging. It seems pretty hard wearing, but I can't help but feel that the lid was made to include a mirror. Does anyone feel that way?

As far as I'm aware, Dainty Doll is pretty tricky to get your hands on, so keep your eyes peeled in your local TK Maxx, or even on fragrancedirect.com. They had a few bits last time I had a gander. 

I think I paid around the £8 mark for the three items, so if you can grab yourself a bargain, I definitely recommend it. 

All in all, I like the overall performance of this shadow, I just wish I could come up with some other ways to wear it. Maybe the summer will bring out some crazy blue trends. 

Do you have an Dainty Doll recommendations?

MeMeMe Lip Cream in Berry Crush berry | berry crush | blue | lip cream | lip stick | lips | lipstick | mememe | mememe cosmetics | pink | purple | review | whenflowersfall

Hey lovelies!

Today I'm sharing another good from my MeMeMe Groupon Buy. 

This is the gorgeous Berry Crush lip cream. It can be seen worn here.

Now, you all know how much I love a good lippy, and this is most definitely that. The packaging to begin with is gorgeous and simple. 

The lip creams themselves are long lasting and are enriched with shea butter and vitamin E. 

This amazing pink, almost purple shade has a lot of blue undertones. So much so, I think you can actually pick them out in the above two photos. 

When on the lips, the lip cream is moisturising and smooth. Even without lip liner, this product doesn't feather, which means if you are on the go you can re-apply without having to worry about it too much. 

You purchase this product from the MeMeMe website here. Lip Creams sell for £8.50 and you get a nice 4 grams of product.

I will most certainly be purchasing more. :)

MeMeMe Long Lasting Gloss in Pensive blue | catwalk collection | duck egg | long lasting gloss | mememe | mememe cosmetics | nail varnish | pensive | polish | review | whenflowersfall

Hi my loves,

This is a super quick review of a nail polish I recently purchased from MeMeMe. The name of the shade is Pensive and it's the most gorgeous, bright duck egg blue. 

I purchased it because I had nothing like this in my collection and it's now my all time favourite! 

The swatch above is only one coat, so really you only need two coats for complete opacity.

The brush is a good size and application is easy. 

I wore this polish underneath Deborah Lippmann 'Glitter in the air' this week and it looked amazing! Together with 'GITA', this polish lasted a good 4 days without chipping.

MeMeMe polishes usually sell for £4.50, but currently there is a pound off online.

You can find pensive and all of the other catwalk shades here. 

MUA Lip gloss - Shade 5 blue | lip gloss | make up academy | MUA | mua lipgloss | pink | review | shade 5 | teeth | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | whiter

MUA Lip gloss in shade 5 is the perfect sheer pink shade. The lip gloss is smooth and not too sticky and I feel it lasts around an hour before it needs reapplying. 

Looking at the lip gloss you'd think it would be very pink, but in reality it's very very sheer with teeny tiny blue flecks in it. The blue isn't enough to be noticeable on the lips, but it is enough to make your teeth look a little more white. That's a bonus, right?

I absolutely adore wearing this on its own or on top of any shade of lipstick. 

You can purchase this and any of the other shade for only £1 at any Superdrug store or on the MUA website.

W7 Nail Polish - Envy blue | duo tone | envy | green | nail paint | nail polish | nail varnish | review | w7 | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

I came across this amazing shade yesterday and I just had to purchase it. I'd describe the colour as a deep teal duo tone. In natural light it can look very flat, but in a bright light you can see the beautiful mixture of blues and greens. 

I don't have a colour like this in my collection and I really think it will be one I reach for on a regular basis.

Feature Nail : W7 Blue Diamonds as a top coat on top of Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Show Off, 

Other Nails : Collection 2000 Hot Looks in BMX Bandit with MUA Shade 17 used as a top coat

I totally thought it was about time I did a new nail post, it's been quite a while since I've done my last one. I'm still very much obsessed with having a feature nail, for me it's usually a different tone of the same colour, or a glitter polish. 

Are there any colours out there that you lovely people could recommend me?
