Bobbi Brown Metallic Eyeshadow 26 Bronzed Pink

Hello my lovelies, 

how are you?
I hope you are all keeping well?

Today I thought I would share with you my thoughts on the Bobbi Brown metallic eyeshadow in the shade bronzed pink. 

I have tried Bobbi Brown eyeshadows before and they are lovely though they can be a little hit & miss but I also find that with pretty much all brands not just Bobbi Brown.

I have to say that I am not a fan of it as an eyeshadow as it is way to metallic though what I do use it for is as a highlighter. 

If I don't like a product for its intended purpose (for whatever reason), I always try and see if it can be used in other ways and that is how I found that this is the most stunning highlighter. 

As a highlighter this is where it comes into its own, it is just beautiful. I use it on my cheekbones, my brow bone and on the bridge of my nose. It gives the most beautiful glow and it is up there with my all time favourite Lightscapade by MAC.

Have you tried any of the Bobbi Brown metallic eyeshadows? Is it love? And have you ever bought something and loved it for a completely different purpose?

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

Ta Ta for now.

Miss Sporty 24HR Pump UP Booster Review

Hello my lovelies, how are you?
I hope you are all feeling well?

Today I thought I would hare with you my thoughts on the Miss Sporty 24HR pump up booster waterproof mascara available here for £3.50 though Miss Sporty is on a 3for2 offer at the moment.

This mascara is not 100% waterproof as there was some flaking and smudging though it was only minimal. I did end up being allergic to an ingredient in this mascara but that can happen to any mascara as I am allergic to some high end mascaras too.

Even though I was allergic to the mascara, I kept wearing it for the rest of the day to see how the formula wore and how lengthening and voluminous it was and if it was still there at the end of the day. I have to say that there wasn't much lengthening but it did volumise my lashes a great deal and was impressed. 

I did find the brush to be a little bit on the big side though that could be down to me having small eyes, because of the size of the brush  it did put mascara on my eyelids which transferred to my upper lids.

I do like this mascara and would recommend it but not if you have sensitive eyes. It is a good mascara, especially for the price.

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

Ta Ta for now.

Bare Minerals & No7 Haul

Hello my lovelies, how are you?

I hope you are all feeling well?

Today I thought I would share with you what has been appearing on my local market stalls over the past couple of weeks. I am pretty lucky as to where I live as there is an amazing weekend market that happens every week. On a Friday is a typical  market that sells everything from shoes, to clothes, to food to beauty products and on a Saturday it is more like an organised car boot sale though you get to meet the same people pretty much every week.

My serious bargains over the past weeks has been from Bare Minerals, the stalls I usually buy from get some seriously amazing products at cracking prices and these are no different. Starting at £2 for the eyeshadow duos and £4 for the eyeshadow quad and blushers, how could I not buy them? Would you leave them behind?

The eye shadows are amongst my favourites as I already own a couple that I have purchased from TK Maxx or the Bare minerals website. The quad cost me £4 and would normally cost £29. Not bad at all is all I can say.

The eyeshadow duos cost just £w and they normally cost £20 each. Again, what can I say to a bargain like that? There was no way I was going to let these go and I did buy a couple for a friend too as she is a little bit of an eyeshadow fiend like myself.

I did also buy 3 blushers for £4 each,  from a gentleman on a particular stall and  I buy from him a fair bit, he was generous enough to let me take 3 for £10 instead of the £12 they would have cost. At £22 each, I did save a good deal of money.
I did also buy another 1 for £5 from another stall with a couple of the duo eyeshadows and a No7 foundation.
In total I paid £31, it would have cost £197 at RRP and I have saved £166.
Not too shabby I can tell you.

I have to say that I do love going to the market as I never know what I am going to find there, it is different from week to week and sometimes, there are alot of times when there is nothing there that is of interest but I always have a chat with the people on the stalls as they are local people and are just lovely.

Have you got any amazing bargains lately? How about hitting the sales? I would love to hear what you have been buying.

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

Ta Ta for now.

Trafford Centre Haul Feat Loccitane, Nails Inc, Champneys, Ciate, Kiko

Hello my lovelies, how are you?

I hope you are all feeling wonderful?

Today I thought I would share with you what I purchased from a recent trip to the Trafford centre. 

I must admit that I haven't been to the Trafford centre for a number of years and I missed it I can tell you. It is such an experience for me as I live a fair distance away from it and there isn't really anything else like it anywhere near me. 

I  love how many shops are in there from Build a Bear to Selfridges to Primark (in Selfridges would you Adam & Eve it) to Victoria Secret. It is a heck of an experience and look forward to going back.

I visited a fair few shops though I knew where I really wanted to purchase from and where I just wanted to mooch around. It was obvious that I was going to go into Boots as I wanted to treat myself using my points and weirdly, I only did that on the second visit there. 

What I bought from there was all on clearance from pretty much the second I walked in and was so impressed with what was on there I knew I was going to be doing some serious damage. 

I paid a total of £33 in cash and £17.33 on the second visit with my points. If I had paid full price for everything, it would have cost £204. 48 (though there was a couple of items that I could not find the original price of so didn't include them in the calculations), a saving of £154.15. Not bad eh?

My biggest deal from Boots was the Ciate xmas tree that was on the clearance for £5 but when I got to the tils, the lady told me that they had been reduced even more to £3.33, how amazing is that? I just wish I had picked up another 1 for a dear friend of mine.

My Second shop to visit had to be Loccitane for a couple of freebies that was doing the rounds on websites if you signed up to the Loccitane website. Though 1 of the freebies is for a hamper that I am doing for my daughters granma for mothers day. I did also purchase some minis too as I love them for travellingfor £15.

I have been after some Muji acrylic drawers for a long time and when I found out that Selfridges had Muji in store, I knew I was going to be purchasing a couple of their drawers to store my everyday make up. I am slowly getting there with how I want my storage to look and I am enjoying trying out new things.

I next went into Kiko as there was a sale on and I love a little bit of Kiko, it is an amazing brand for very little money. 1 of the polishes is for a friend  but shhh, it is a supriprise. I had already put an order in online for a couple of other bits though there was a few bits out of stock and hoped that they were going to be in store. Sadly, they wasn't but that is OK as I got some seriously amazing bits.

Lastly, I popped into Asda for a couple of drinks and saw that Nspa was on offer for 2 for £7 and as I love their face oil, I thought I would grab another 1 and a new face wash as I am almost out. I also wanted to try the skin system face wash as it caters for oily/combination skin and as my skin has changed it does tend to get oily pretty quickly and I can get the odd spot every now and then.

Have you visited the Trafford centre? 

What are your favourite shops to visit there?

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

Freedom Pro Glow Pink Cat

Hello my lovelies, how are you?

I hope you are all feeling well?

Today I thought I would share with you my thoughts on a lovely blusher from Freedom make up: pro glow in pink cat for £3.50.

 In all fairness, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this because of how bright it is but I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I like it. It is extremely pigmented and when I first tried it, I picked up way too much and ended up looking more like a clown than anything else. You only need a small amount on your brush and even then, I would advise to tap your brush because you will still pick up more than you need.

 It is a blush that will be used a heck of a lot more in the summer when I have a tan and can rock it a heck of a lot better. I do love Freedom make up and have a few of their items that will be being reviewed in the future and others that are going to be getting some serious loving too.

Have you tried anything from Freedom? What are your thoughts and do you have any recommendations that you think I would like?

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

NOTD: Nails Inc Buckingham Square & Wet N Wild Distressed to impress

 Hello my lovelies, how are you?

I hoe you are all feeling well?

Today I thought I would share with you what I was wearing on my nails: Wet N Wild distressed to impress & Nails Inc buckingham square.

The Wet N Wild formula is fantastic, opaque in 1 coat with no streaking though at first I did get too much on the brush and it ended up everywhere.

I am not overly keen on the shade and the fact that it dries down to a matte finish didn't endear itself to me. I thought the Nails Inc would add something a little special to it and I would apply a lovely, extra shiny top coat in the form of Seche Vite.

The Nails Inc was a complete and utter nightmare to use, it was gloopy, lumpy and the gold foils were so sharp and difficult to place. It took forever to dry and I definately don't recommend this terrible polish.

Don't get me wrong, I usually love Nails Inc and have alot of them but this was bad (at least for me anyway), I just couldn't get it to work for me.

When the polish did finally dry, I literally had to apply 3 seperate layers of top coat just to not stab myself with the gold shards.

In the end, I just removed the whole thing as it started to smudge and peel away from my nails. It wasn't a successful NOTD for me. Gutted.

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,

Loreal Le Blush 105 Rose Pastel review and swatches

Hello my lovelies, how are you?

I hope you are feeling well?

Today I thought I would share with you my thoughts on Loreal's Le Blush in the shade 105 rose pastel available here for £6.99.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised as I wasn't sure if the shade would suit me as it leans more towards girlie pink than a natural pink. I picked it up because I needed a blush for a FOTD that I was going to be doing and wanted to try a Loreal blush as I hadn't really tried much from them.

I have to say that I just love how it perks my skin right up when I apply it, it definately makes all the difference when I wear a blush. This has become 1 of my drugstore favourites and I will definately be purchasing more in the future if they bring out more shades.

The formula is lovely, it isn't powdery in the slightest with no fallout, the pigmentation is not too much were it is just too difficult to use, it is lovely and buildlable. I am impressed.

It is that time where I say goodbye, just remember that life is short, enjoy it and love one another.

Until the next time,
