Hello!

Today I wanted to talk to you about something I found in Boots the other day. Makeup Obsession is a brand I have never seen before, but while I was shopping in Worcester, I saw the stand in the Boots there. I've never seen this brand in either of my local Boots, or online (but I checked after and they are on there). Check it out here.

The idea with this brand is pretty neat. You pick out which size palette you want (I opted for the smallest, which was 6), and then you can pick whatever singles you want to go in it. These are eyeshadows, blush, contour and strobe/highlight. So basically, you pay so much for the empty palette, and then pay for each single to go in it. And they're pretty reasonable too! The palette's range from £4-£8, the eyeshadows are all £2, contour is £3 (cream or powder), the same for highlight, and the blushes are all powder and £3 each.

As I said, I went for the 6 palette, as I didn't want to buy a 12 palette and I got it home and hated the product. The palette has a full size mirror and 6 slots to put your singles in.

I bought a mix of eyeshadow, contour and highlight. I didn't get a blush because I'm happy with the one I have!

They all come in a protective plastic case and easily pop out of this.

This is what they look like once they're put of their singular case. This is the contour shade I picked up.

You then easily slot it into the palette, it couldn't be easier!

And a bonus is that you can see the shade names on the bottom of the palette too.

So this is my completed palette.

Top row (L-R)

Contour Power - Light

Banana Powder - C111

Strobe Balm - Precious

Bottom Row (L-R)

Eyeshadow - Burnt

Eyeshadow - Slate

Eyeshadow - Lucky Charm

Here are the swatches for the top row. I am really impressed with the contour powder as it is quite cool toned. I wouldn't recommend the banana powder as you could definitely tell it was more yellow than the rest of my face when I applied it to my under eye area, I looked a mess! I haven't used the highlight yet, but it has a gorgeous blue iridescent shine to it, it's just so gorgeous.

The bottom row is just eyeshadows, cause that's what I love! I was genuinely shocked and amazed at the quality of these. Considering they are only £2 each and are quite a decent pan size (2g), the pigment is just astounding. I am completely in love with the shade Burnt, I really can't wait to play around with it. The colour Slate is just an eyeshadow that I can see myself using in many looks, hence why I picked it up. As I'd gone for two matte shades, I decided to also pick up a shimmer, and I'm so glad I did! Just one swipe and this was the swatch I got! I think if I decide to go for another paltte, I'll definitely just get eyeshadows, I'll probably go for a 12 size palette too because the quality for the price is perfect.

Let me know if you see these in store or if you decide to try them out, I definitely recommend it! I really like the idea of this as you can make a palette that is tailored to you, because in most palettes there's always at lease 2 shades you never use! At least with this you get your money's worth because you pick what goes in it.

Hello!

Today I am bringing you another Jeffree Star post!! I recently ordered Androgony and Virginity from Beautylish and I am in love, seriously. I already own Posh Spice, and I did buy Doll Parts but I sold it because I wasn't keen. If you missed my post on these, check it out here.

I have wanted Androgony for aaaages, and I was so excited when I saw it was available. If I manage to ge my mits on Scorpio, Unicorn Blood and Celebrity Skin, I'll be content. Virginty was the only shade from the summer collection that I was interested in, I wanted a really light, different lipstick, pretty much the same reason why I bough Marshmallow from Colourpop.

Virginity is a really pale pink shade, unlike anything else I own. The packaging is in the summer collection packaging, which is yellow and pink. It also smells like root beer, a lot nicer than the normal lipsticks! Besides that, the lipstick isn't different from the rest of his line, it dries down the ame and the doe foot is the same shape as the regular lipsticks. I actually feel a bit like a Barbie or something wearing this haha.

Androgony is a really popular shade from Jeffree Star. And I can see why! I've wanted this since last year, but I could never get hold of it because it sold out every time. But when I saw it on Beautylish, I knew this was my chance! This shade compliments my skin tone really well, and I feel, just like Posh Spice, I can wear this in a day time and a night time and it will suit most looks!

Overall, I am still very impressed with Jeffree's products. The lipsticks are a little bit drying, but they are matte! But they do mostly stay on throughout the day, unless you eat oily food. I'm really excited for the launch of the Lip Ammunition, and I'm even more excited to see if he launches another Christmas range this year! I will be sure to snap it up.

Let me know what you think of Jeffree Star Cosmetics!

Hello!

Here I have the first in a new series that I've planned, which is makeup inspired by the 4 Elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air.

Today I am bringing you Fire!

But not literally, because that would be dangerous...

Firstly I used Beverly from Colourpop in my crease.

Then I went in with Substitute For Love from the Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette.

On a thick pencil brush, I took Freshly Toasted from the same palette and really worked that just into the crease line, focusing more on the outer quarter.

I used Fancy from the Makeup Revolution Chocolate Vice palette all over the lid.

And just in the centre of my lid, I used Require from that palette.

I did my eyeliner as normal, but on the top, I took the Elf Cream Eyeliner in Golden and drew a thin line above that eyeliner. Don't worry if you cover up too much of the black because you can always go over the top again to straighten the line out.

After my waterline liner, I put Freshly Toasted underneath.

Then I lightly went over that with the Collection Glam Crystals in Funk.

You can't really see here, but in my inner corner, I put a bit of Habit from the Chocolate Vice Palette.

And in the first inner quarter on my lower lashline I put a bit of Persuade there too. This would be so much easier if I had the confidence to start a YouTube...

As my brow bone highlight, I took the Essence Eyeshadow in 01 Snowflake, kinda to resemble ash coming from the fire. Seriously though, get this eyeshadow, it's only £1 and it's crazily pigmented!

On my lips I used Androgony by Jeffree Star.

I hope you enjoyed this look, and keep an eye out for future posts in this series!

Hello! Today, as promised, I have a look using the Makeup Revolution Chocolate Vice Palette. Now that it is September, I am all about Autumn looks, as Autumn/Winter is my favourite time of year!! This look is using only 3 eyeshadows, but I'm sure I will have more looks to come with this palette.

In my crease, I went in with Maleficence from the palette, and blended it upwards to graduate the colour. I feel like this is a good dupe for my favourite Substitute For Love!!

To deepen that up, I used Treat from the palette just under where I blended the original colour up. I feel like these two are a really good match together.

Then I put Crave all over my lid and made sure it was blended in my crease.

I put eyeliner on my lower waterline and then ran Treat under that to smoke it out.

On my lips I used the NYX Liquid Suede in Cherry Skies.

Thank you for reading and I will see you next time!

Hey there!

Today I have (finally) got my post on the Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Vice Palette. This took forever to come which was super frustrating, but my order finally came, yay!

The palette itself is the usual dripping chocolate style of these palettes, and it's black. Which is so perfect for me, and to be honest, the reason why I wanted it.

But the colours inside are beautiful too. The names of the shades are on a clear plastic film over each shade. The palette also has a full size mirror and a sponge applicator.

The top row has 5 shades (left to right):

Vice

Sway

Satisfy

Require

Convert.

This top row has 2 matte shades and 3 shimmer, and the colour Vice is a bit bigger than the other pans. I'm excited to play around with the colour Require because I don't have anything like this so I think it'll be really cool to experiment with.

The second row is all the smaller pan sizes, and has 6 shades, 2 matte and 4 shimmer.

(Left to right)

Treat

Habit

Persuade

Need

Crave

Lust

I think the colours Treat and Crave will look really good together, and the colour Persuade will be good for a deep glam look.

The final row again has 5 shades, 3 shimmer and 2 matte.

(Left to Right)

Reason

Must

Maleficence

Fancy

Appeal.

The colour appeal, like Vice, is a bit bigger than the other pans. I think this row will make a gorgeous coral look, so I will have to see what happens with this.

I am really pleased with this palette, and it has the same quality as the first Chocolate palette I got from Makeup Revolution, the Death By Chocolate Palette. I think this is going to be great for Autumn/Winter, and I will have a post (probably a few haha) coming up using this palette, so watch out for that!
