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.

MUA Pretty Pastels Palette eye shadows | eyes | make up academy | MUA | mua pro | palette | pastels | pretty | pretty pastels | rave | review | superdrug | whenflowersfall

Not long ago I purchased another of the MUA eye shadow palettes, this time the Pretty Pastels palette.

As you guys know, eventually I want to own all of the palettes from MUA as I think they are such a brilliant quality for the price you pay.

This is probably going to be a short review, because I cannot praise MUA enough. 

The palette itself is £4, (only 33p per shadow) and is available online or from any Superdrug which carries the MUA PRO range. As with all of the other palettes available, the packaging is neat, sturdy and houses the product well. Although, unlike some of the other palettes from MUA, this one doesn't include a mini tutorial on the back.

The shadows themselves have great pigmentation, especially for pastel shades. The formula isn't too powdery and sits on your eyelids nicely.

I like to use this product on more casual days, or when I'm feeling like something more flirty and girly.

Like I said before, I really can't praise MUA enough, yet again this is an all round fabulous palette, filled with great product for an amazing price.

Purity Organic Skincare - My new skincare routine! cleanser | exfoliator | face wash | mask | moisturiser | organic | purity | purity organic skincare | rave | review | serum | skincare routine | superdrug | whenflowersfall

Hi my loves!A couple of weeks back I saw a tweet out to bbloggers about trying some products from Purity Skincare. Well, of course I jumped at the chance and contacted them. To my surprise a few days later a huge parcel was delivered to my door containing 6 of their 7 products. I couldn't thank them enough. That night I set to my new routine, starting with the Cleansing lotion and Regenerating Overnight Moisturiser.In the morning I tried out the Facial Exfoliator, facial wash and Anti-aging Moisturiser.Since then I have kept to this routine, adding a couple of uses of the Anti-aging Serum and Mask throughout the week and my skin has never felt softer. I suffer from pretty bad dry skin and since starting this new routine I haven't had an issue at all. My skin is soft and clear and my pores are noticeably cleaner.

MUA Pro - Undressed Palette dupe | make up academy | MUA | mua pro | naked palette | palette | pro | review | superdrug | undressed | undressed palette | urban decay | whenflowersfall

I don't think I have ever been in love with a palette as much as I am with this one.

Like a lot of poor, twenty somethings I have been drooling and wishing to one day own the Urban Decay Naked palette. At the high price that it is, I don't think I could have ever let myself buy it, but thanks to MUA, I now don't have to.This palette is the most perfect dupe to all of those well known shadows. 

From the soft shimmery nude colours to the beautiful deep and dark shades, this palette has everything you need to create a hundred different looks.

The palette contains 12 fab shades, of which 8 I have swatched above. As you can see, the pigmentation of them is unreal. The shadows are soft and creamy, very easy to work with and have great staying power. 

I honestly don't know what else I can say to praise MUA on creating such a fabulous palette. 

For only £4 you are really getting your moneys worth! I mean, come on, FOUR POUNDS!!

You can purchase this at their online store, or at any Superdrug branches which stock the Pro line. 

I love MUA so much that it is my goal to own all of the palettes. I currently have 4, so I have a few more to get yet.

What do you guys think of the Undressed Palette?

Rimmel Kate Lipstick - Shade 04 bblogger | gothic | kate | kate lipstick | kate moss | lipstick | purple | review | rimmel | shade 4 | superdrug | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

A few weeks ago I had a hankering for a dark lipstick. Nothing in my collection was doing the job, so I made a little trip to Superdrug. I didn't quite know what I wanted, all I knew was that I wanted a dark, gothic type shade. 

After some time my eyes got drawn to this most amazing deep aubergine/eggplant purple. The fact that it was Kate for Rimmel made me want it even more. This is the first Kate lipstick I have bought and I was really excited to finally try one out.

This lipstick retails for £5.49, not a bad price, but I do feel like you don't get a whole lot of product. 

Being such a dark shade it does take some concentration to apply, but if applied straight from the bullet it is super opaque so you don't have to faff about apply a dozen layers for a strong lip. I feel if you wanted more of a sheer colour you could always apply it with a lip brush.

The wear of this lipstick is good but not great. I'd say you can get maybe 3 or so hours out of it before having to re-apply it. Also, if you aren't careful, you could end up with that scary lip liner look where the lipstick wears off in the middle of your lips before anywhere else.

Formulation wise, the lipstick is super smooth, it has a slight sheen and doesn't dry your lips out at all.

Despite the couple of niggly points I've mentioned above, I absolutely love this lipstick. I feel I can see past the longevity issue and I would most definitely buy a few more shades. The newest shades have been catching my eye ton this week and I've been so tempted to splurge.

Have any of you guys tried any of the new shades? Let me know what they are like down below. 

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo 24 hour | color tattoo | color tattoos | eternal gold | immortal charcoal | mac | maybelline | maybelline 24fy colour tattoo | review | superdrug | turquoise forever | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

I recently went on the hunt for the little babies on my trip to Leeds the other day. 

Apart from a couple of beat up squished ones, these were the only three left in the Superdrug that had them. 

Luckily, these are three of the colours I would have picked up anyway. I'd still like to get my paws on the taupe and the purple.

Since purchasing these, I have used them as an all over lid colour and an eye liner. Just like the name suggest, they have incredible staying power and I can only say the gold colour creased very very slightly once I had worn it all day in very warm weather. Other than that, they barely budge!

Even though these colours have amazing pigmentation themselves, they would also make great bases for any powder eye shadows, very much like the MAC paint pots. 

I purchased my Color Tattoos for £4.99 each in Superdrug and at the time they were on a 3 for 2 offer, which was a bonus. 

MUA Eye Shadows cosmetics | eye | eye shadow | make up | make up academy | MUA | pound | review | singles | superdrug | swatches | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!
   After my fun yesterday and finding out that my local Superdrug was shut, I tried again this morning after a trip to the post office. I purchased a few goodies to add to my collection, but what I was most drawn to were the MUA single eye shadows. Now, I already have a couple in my collection, I also didn't think I would buy any more because I have the MUA Immaculate collection palette, which may I add is amazing and covers every basic colour you could ever need. Oh how wrong I was, I couldn't leave the shop without having at least two new singles, the colours shouted at me and I couldn't say no.

    I ended up purchasing shade 9 and 10. I would describe shade 10 as a dark blue, almost black with blue shimmer and shade 9 is the most incredible shade of purple! I can't really say much else about it apart from it is stunning!

      Eeeee, look at them! SO pigmented and equally as pretty as each other. At only £1 each I am most certainly going to end up with probably every single one!

Is there any shades you guys think I should get next?
