Lipstick -Clinique - Long Last Lipstick - Watermelon

Hi girls!! Well Ive been on the hunt for a lovely sheer pink lippy for absolutley ages! In boots, trying this on i loved it it really suited me and was so excited to buy it. Maybe it was the light in Boots but when i got home and re applied i found it was a bit dolly-pink which is a colour i find really false looking and doesnt suit me. It lasts a while kind of leaves a stain on my lips which is nice. its lovely and smooth on your lips and its not chalky at all, you dont need to smooth it down with vaseline like you do with some mac ones. Let down with the shade but the actual other qualities like packaging, consistency are great xo

Blush -MAC - Matte Blush - Frankly Scarlet

Hey peeps. Had this since may 2012 and its now feb 2013 and its barely touched! You dont need much at all as its very pigmented. Such a flattering colour and as others have said the first red-pink matte blush ive found! I love this shade because its similar to the colour you naturally blush so i love that type of colour. You can build it up for quite a striking look but for everyday you just sweep a bit on your apples of your cheeks and it makes me look healthy and nice! The only thing that puts me off using it is that its kind of sometimes hard to get it evenly on the brush? its not smooth its kinda hard. Maybe thats just me but i would buy this again because its right up my street, xo

Brows -Bobbi Brown - Brow Pencil

So shocked with all the bad reviews on this pencil! Its not groundbreakingly amazing or anything! But at the end of the day its a brow pencil, it stays on all day, it goes easily enough, And the colour i get is 'blonde' and i have mid brown hair so its really flattering. People are saying stuff about problems with sharpening the pencil? I dont have this problem to be honest i make sure i apply a lot of pressure when sharpening and its fine. It also has the finish of a powder rather than an oily pencil that slides off which i like. Bit on the pricy side but you get a lot.

i dont seem to get on with this product! i just got it today in the shade of 'headliner' i heard it was more of a shimmery pink-quite sheer. Not a flattering blush at all, it had a tinge or orangness on my skin as if it was a bronzer?? So strange, my stiplling brush was brand new so no product was on it. It didn't last all day like it said and i also found my self building it up like 3 layers to get a bit of colour!! Maybe i got a dud one haha!? wont be buying this again and definatley wont use it again! Price is awesome as are all elf products but i would be pretty annoyed if i spent anymore on such a lame product! xo

Eyeliner -Bobbi Brown - Gel Eyeliner

hiya girls..i picked this up about a month ago and i wear this every day on the upperlash line, still got looooaddss left and its still the same consistensy as it was when i bought it! definatley the most longwearing liner ive ever used, blackest black, doesnt drag across the eye. My only moan about this is that you don't get a applicator with it. I had to get one from topshop and its ok but im gonna have to invest in a better one because its too thick. Definatley not good if your a gal-on-the-go as its not very handy for your handbag...but that aside it is brill :) xx

Liquid -Yves Saint Laurent - Teint Touche Eclat Foundation

Hi ladies! I recieved this from a lady as YSL as a sample 7 day trial. Wasnt expecting much as ive never heard a lot about ysl other than the touche eclait pen?? Anyway it is so so good, got it in b10 which i believe is the palest they do (oh god!) its very illuminating, very sheer, and makes your skin look healthy and lovely. My ONLY critic about this product is that it doesnt cover blemishes very well. But thats ok 'cos i just use a concealer afterwards and im good to go. Doesnt make me oily, doesnt break me out, and leave me glowing!

Eyeliner -BeneFit Cosmetics - Eye Bright

Hi ladies, If your thinking of buying this product i'd highly recommend it to girls who suffer from a particularly dull eye area, dark circles and just need a pop of brightness to awaken your face. Its a real multi tasker! So i use this mainly on the arch on my brow bone which looks so effective, and dab it in with my ring finger lightly. In my inner corners of my eyes which really does make such a difference & finally i use it on my waterline but not too much as it can look a bit un-natural! The benefit sales advisor said to put it under my eyes too but i dont really find this does a lot in that sense. Anyway thats my review i most likely would repurchase this, if your looking for more of a shimmery product though id say the high brow in the champagne colour is better and pretty.
