W7 Purple Haze Eyeshadow Quad* | Review beauty | eyeshadow | purple haze | quad | review | w7 | whenflowersfall

Purple is one of those colours that can suit anyone. The W7 Purple Haze eyeshadow quad* has four shades, all of which are very different from the next.
The shadows themselves are soft and well pigmented. They are so easy to work with and really blendable, but if you do purchase this, be a little careful with the darkest shade as this can create a little fallout when applied.
In the eye look above I have used all four shades; the lightest all over the lid, the heather type shade through the crease and the second to darkest shade in the upper outer corner. I have the darkest shade along my bottom lash line. Please note that the inner corner shade is not from this palette. I wore this look throughout the day and the shadows lasted well up until I removed them in the evening.
I would really recommend this quad to everyone. I've never been one for wearing purple shadow myself, but this has made me fall in love with it a little bit. With the four shades, you could create a whole variety of looks for the upcoming Summer months.

The Purple Haze shadow quad retails for £5.95 at any W7 stockist.
Although I have found it for only £2.99 on the Xtras website!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Timeless Black | Review beauty | color tattoo | eyeliner | eyeshadow | maybelline | review | timeless black | whenflowersfall

Oh, Maybelline Colour Tattoos, I love you.

It's taken me a good while, but I have finally purchased the shade 'Timeless Black'. You guys should know about my love for these products by now, and this one does not disappoint.
I don't think I'll ever use this as an eyeshadow base, unless the look really calls for it. I bought it with the hopes that it would make a great gel eyeliner alternative, and boy does it!
I've never really had much luck with gel eyeliners, I find they can drag on the skin and dry out really quickly. This on the other had is perfectly smooth, and the formula is just wet enough to make some nice precise lines and points.
As with most of the colour tattoos (all bar a couple of shades), the pigmentation of this is excellent. I absolutely love the addition of the teeny tiny blue flecks. It was only when I took these photos that I realised they were there, and I had to go back and really look closely. The beauty of it is, is that it gives the product a tad more dimension without really trying. On the eyes it looks strong and bold, but not completely flat and matte. I love it.
Another bonus to using this as an eyeliner is it's longevity. It will last all day long, and I'd even say it would wear well into the night too if you needed it too. I actually have to really work to remove this at the end of the day. Massive thumbs up.

Because of this product, I have found my love for strong eyeliner all over again. It was lost for a little while, but it sure is back now!

You can purchase this at any Superdrug or Boots.
I picked mine up for an insane £1.50 at Fragrance Direct.

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?

Smooch Cosmetics Week - Suede Eyeshadow Duo cosmetics | duos | eyeshadow | review | smooch | suede | whenflowersfall

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.

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. 

Mini Review - L'oreal Infallible Time Resist White blogger | eyeshadow | fall | flowers | infallible | l'oreal | loreal | mini review | pigment | resist | time | when | whenflowersfall | white

A couple of weeks ago I went into my local Factory outlet store. 

You guys already know that I sometimes find great bargains in the little make-up section, and this time was one of those moments. 

I picked up the L'oreal Infallible in Time resist white.

I had been tempted to pick a couple of these up when they first appeared in stores, but I'm glad I had waited. 

The product itself is a pressed pigment, meaning the colour pay off is amazing! The formulation is smooth and creamy and glides onto the eyelid with little effort. 

In the packaging, the colour does look a little 'golden' but I can assure you that it is white as white can get. The shadow is a pearl/satin finish, so if you aren't a fan of anything super glittery, then this may be for you. 

When it comes to wear, this product lasts well on my eyelids throughout day, but if you do have troublesome lids, I recommend you maybe apply some kind of primer first, as I found creasing can happen. 

The packaging is simple and sturdy, with a screw on lid to keep your product safe.

I purchased mine for only £2, but if you can't find it at your local factory outlet store, you can pick it up for £6.99 at Boots.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Pink Gold blog | boots | color tattoo | cream | example | eyes | eyeshadow | gold | maybelline | pink | pink gold | review | superdrug | swatch | whenflowersfall

Hi, my lovelies!

It's been a little while since I last did a little product review. 

Today, I'm sharing with you a new favourite of mine. The Maybelline colour tattoo cream eye shadow in Pink gold. 

When these products first popped up on the shelves I did pick up three shades, but when I recently saw this one appear I knew I had to have it straight away. 

I've been a little on the fence about these products, I find that certain shades apply better than others , but this one applies like a dream. I usually apply it with a brush, but it as just as easily applied with your fingers. 

The consistency of the eye shadow is perfectly smooth and blends really well! 

I've heard a couple of people say that they think the colour of this product makes them look a little tired or ill, but if you do like a soft eye or something quite natural looking, I feel this is the perfect eyeshadow for you.

Like myself, you can either wear this alone or as a base for a different colour/product.

Just as Maybelline claims, this product does last a very long time. I can't say that I have tested it out for a full twenty four hours, but I can vouch for a good sixteen at least. 

I absolutely adore the packaging. The glass may not be ideal if you travel a lot as it can be slightly heavier, but I do think it gives a more 'expensive' feel. 

As with the rest of the colour tattoos, this product is sold for £4.99 and you can pick it up at any Boots or Superdrug store that stocks Maybelline products.
