Collection 2000 cream puff

I have been wanting one if these for ages and eventually got around to getting one, it took me a while to choose which colour i wanted but I'm really pleased with the one i got.

I decided to get the shade Fairy Cake 3 this is the brightest of the 4 colours and i love bright lips because i usually do my eye make up quite simple

I really like the texture its smooth and creamy and gives a matt finish, the only problem i found with it is that after been on my lips a while it looks cracked the product dries into the creases on my lips but it does last a long time.

After application

After been on my lips for 20 mins

I have also worn this with a gloss over the top and it looks so much brighter

It lasts a couple of hours so there is no need for re-application I'm definitely going to have to get the other colours.

It smells so yummy too kind of like candy floss mixed with popcorn

whats your favourite shade and do you find it looks cracked on your lips after a while?

Some more £1 Bargains :)

I went shopping with the kids and other half today i wanted to get the Real Techniques Core Collection but the boots i looked in didn't have it in stock so I'm going on Monday to get it from a bigger store but while i was out i had a look in another poundland and picked up some more things so here is what i got

So first up is Bristows Silver Shampoo: I saw it and thought i would give it a go I'm currently using the touch of silver one so I'm going to see if this works.

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection conditioner: I go through conditioner so quickly so this is one of my faves and a re-purchase.

Clearasil Ultra Overnight Lotion: I have tried the serum before and liked it so wanted to give this a try and for £1 why not.

Now for the Make Up

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in shade 086 Sugar Plum:

This is a lovely it's a lovely plum shade with a hint of pink

Wet'n'Wild Beauty Benefits Eye Shadow Trio in Golden Sunset:

I have never used anything from Wet'n'Wild before so picked this up the colours are shimmery and well pigmented.

Collection 2000 Shimmer and Shade in colour 1 Pink Me Up:

When i spotted this i just had to have it, this morning i was looking at this on the boots website as i have been wanting a new highlighter/blush for a few weeks and on there its £4.19 so now I'm glad i didn't pay full price for it. The product it's self has a lovely glow to it with a tint of colour perfect for summer if we ever get one.

I'm so pleased with my poundland finds this month and i think everyone should go to there nearest poundland and have a look through their make up section you never know what you may find.

Thanks For Reading

Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Mascara

Now i love long lashes and if i can make them look longer i will, so when i went
into boots the other week and saw this i thought it looked quite good so i bought it.

When i got half way home i was checking out all the things i had just bought then i opened this mascara to find it had a big crack down the side, it had all dried up and the brush was all stuck together so i had 20 mins to rush back down there and change it then get to school to pick my daughter up, They let me change it so i checked the other one i picked up it had no cracks and the brush looked fine so i swapped it i was frantic at this point that i was going to get to school late ....... i made it in time just.

As soon as i got home i started inspecting this mascara the first thing i noticed was the actual mascara formula was really dry now i don't know if i got another bad one or this is how its meant to be i did a little bit of research 'via google' and found that quite a few people thought theirs was too dry as well and others loved theirs now im confused and pissed off so i thought i would wait until i had actually used it to see if it was rubbish or not.

Morning comes and i'm really not that excited at all about using this mascara and surprise surprise it's that dry i can not actually see any product on my lashes at all and not forgetting to mention the brush, on the website they say it's the biggest brush they have done and there not joking its MASSIVE which in my opinion bigger is not always better.

So i haven't technically worn this mascara it was too dried up for me to even get one coat out of it.

I'm really not impressed with collection 2000 and i usually love their products it has been such a let down trying to use this mascara.

£1 Bargain's

I have been shopping again and found a few £1 bargains which I'm pretty pleased about so here is what i got and a little about each product:

Collection 2000 Naturally Radiant liquid foundation in vanilla

 Skin smoothing foundation that hydrates and evens out skin tone for natural radiance. It's a light to medium coverage SPF 15 and oil free.
I found this in the poundland, I love having a rummage through the make-up products there and i was surprised to find that they actually had my shade.

Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Nail Polish in shade 22 'Kiss n Tell'

This came in a packet with the product below its a lovely hot pink and on the bottle it says it has up to 10 days wear and it's high gloss and chip resistant

Collection 2000 Love Your Lips in shade 6 'Adore'

I was quite pleased when i saw this with the nail polish its a natural peachy/pink colour and it was £1 for both products together what a BARGAIN, it says it's a moisturising, non-sticky lipgloss which helps protect and care for lips. Contains anit-oxidants, rose hips & mango extract to soothe and hydrate SPF 20.

Pretty:Perfect Eye Roll On Concealer light tint with citrus

The only reason i got this is because I've been looking at the version from garnier. I don't think it will be as good but for £1 I'm not expecting miracles and i haven't tried the garnier version so i cannot compare them, This is from poundland.

Pink Tease Sparkle Eye Shadow

I love shimmery eye shadows and this one is gold and a darker gold/bronze i have swatched them and they seem quite pigmented for poundland.

Asda Young Skin Eye Make Up Remover

This is from asda and again it was £1 i tried this last night and it really stung my eye's so I'm not impressed with this, it took of my foundation OK but i wont be using it on my eye's again.


They also had some Wet 'n' Wild stuff in but none of the shades were colours i would wear.

Just one last thing i have been using the Ginvera BB Cream and its brilliant so there will be a review on that soooon :)

What's In My Make Up Bag - Part 2 'EYES'

Welcome Ladies to part 2 of 'what's in my make up bag'. It's this weeks blog hop at bloglovetherapy today I'm going through all my eye products first up will be Eyeshadows followed by Mascaras and Liners so sit back and enjoy.

xXxXx

To start here is everything i use eyeshadow wise L-R:

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet

MUA Heaven and Earth Pallet

Lancome Pallet in Coffret

MUA Triple Eyeshadow in Chocolate Box

MUA Triple Eyeshadow in Pink Sorbet

17 Single Eyeshadow in Chalice

17 Single Eyeshadow in Viva Diva

17 Dazzle dust in Big Smoke

Avon Pigment in Silver

Asda iphone Pallet

MUA Brow Pencil in Brunette

Avon Double Ended eyeshadow stick in Gold and Bronze

Avon Colourworks Cream Eyeshadow and Liner in Mesmerise

It may seem like allot but I'm always mixing it up  i would use a colour from the Naked 2 pallet and another couple from Heaven and Earth i do this so i get full use out off all my favourite eyeshadows.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet

I love this pallet my bf bought it for me for valentines day and i use it all the time my favourite colours are: Half Baked, Booty Call, Chopper and YKD. I love shimmer and glitter and in my opinion you can never have too much on your eyes.

MUA Heaven and Earth Pallet

I have loved this pallet since the day i got it as you can see some of the shades have hit pan. The quality and pigmentation is excellent for a £4 product if you don't have this i really recommend you go buy it :)

Lancome pallet

I got this a long time ago the 2 shades that have been used up were a peach and a light pink, i only use the chocolate brown colour now and sometimes the blushes but the powder is so silky smooth i love it.

MUA - Pink Sorbet and Chocolate Box

Again these are shimmery eyeshadows the lightest pink i use as a highlighter and the darkest pink/purple is gorgeous it's like a deep mauve/plum and i don't realy use the dark browns that much but i love the Orange/Gold shade and they are all so pigmented.

Singles Avon pigment silver 17 Big Smoke, Viva Diva and Chalice.

I'm very much a neutral tone girl but every so often i like to use colour and my fave to use it teal and the gold/bronze is one of my favourite these are 17 single eyeshadows and are shimmery again and very pigmented.
The 17  Dazzle Dust is a lovely smokey grey and i usually pair this with the Avon silver pigment.

Asda iphone Pallet

I got this at Christmas when Asda had all their gift sets in i think it was £3 i only use 1 colour in this pallet which is the brown on the left 2nd row across 2nd row down and i use this on my eyebrows. I have swatched all the shades and they are all really nice but i don't really use colour that much but next time i do i might give these a try.

The last 3

MUA brow pencil - I use this really lightly just to add a bit more definition to the arch of my brow it was only £1

Avon eyeshadow stick - To be honest i have no idea why this is still in my make up bag i haven't used it in ages just forgotten to put it away lol

Avon cream eyeshadow and liner - The liner on this is such a lovely bronze chocolate colour and the cream is a paler mushroom brown

Well that's the eyeshadows now for the Mascaras and Eyeliners

Top to bottom

Avon Super Shock mascara

Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Effect

Maybeline One By One mascara

Asda/George Lash Xtend

Front Cover Double Ended black and clear

maybeline express eyeliner in black

Avon Smokey Eyes Eyeliner in grey/silver

So i will start from the top:

Avon Super Shock used to be my all time favourite mascara its brilliant.

Collection 2000 Big Fake  Yes it is a big FAKE, its rubbish the brush doesn't hold enough product so it seems really dry and have to apply 10 coats to actually see that you have mascara on it is such a let down for me.

Maybeline One by One This is the best mascara i have used whenever i try something new i always come back to this its amazing!!

Asda/George Lash Xtend  This is really wet but i don't actually use the applicator that comes with it i use the brush from the Super Shock and together they work really well.

Front cover Double Ended I got this in a Front Cover Set and i don't use the black mascara, i use the clear on my brows just to set the power/pencil

Maybeline Express Eyeliner I love this eyeliner it doesn't make my eyes water like so many others do and its really black.

Avon Smokey Eyes  I don't use this eyeliner anymore i use the sponge on the other end for smudging the eyeliner i put under my eye's

So there you go all my eye products next up will be part 3 BRUSHES

If you want me to do any additional reviews/swatches on any of these products please comment and let me know

What's In My Make Up Bag - Part 1 'FACE'

I love reading post's and watching youtube videos of 'Whats In My Bag' and 'Room Tour' maybe it's because i loooove seeing what other people have got, how they store things, what they like to use daily etc... Also its bloglovetherapy weekly blog hop.

So i thought i would do a What's In My Make Up Bag post this it just the stuff i use most often.

(be warned it's gonna be a long one and there are quite a few pictures)

To start here is my make up bag

 I got it a couple of years ago full of soap and glory goodies, now what's inside

I'm going to do a post for each category so first up is:

FACE

So L-R

17 Miracle Matt Foundation - Porcelain

Collection 2000 Perfect Finish Foundation - Vanilla

17 Pressed Powder - Nicely Natural

Avon Bronzer - Shimmering Bronze

Eye Primers I Made

Soap And Glory Kick Ass Concealer - Light

Cheap version of bourjois blush (no idea of the make)

MUA blush - Shade 1

Avon Highlighter that looks like a lipstick

Top: Collection 2000 Perfect Finish

Bottom: 17 Miracle Matt

I have just bought the collection 2000 foundation in the shade vanilla, it's a little dark for my skin even though it's the lightest they do but i really like it and my stippling brush work's brilliant with it i think it's because the product is thinner than the 17 one it's wearable if i blend it really well and feels like i don't even have it on. 17 Miracle Matt is a perfect match for me it's in the shade porcelain  but with the weather getting warmer i found it was a bit too heavy which is sad because i love this sooooo much.

17 Pressed Powder

This is my favourite powder and i only need a light dusting of it, i got in shade nicely natural. Previously i was using an Avon one then a while ago 17 had a 3 for 2 offer on so i picked it up and i love it, i hate it when a powder gives you that cakey/powdery look but this seems to just disappear into my skin.

Avon Bronzer

This is the only bronzer i have ever used as I'm so pale i apply the smallest amount of product so this has lasted me forever

Eyeshadow Primers

I made these using Soap and Glory Righteous Butter and MUA foundation

Left: I made this one the other day as i wanted to try a different ratio out it it half of each product.

Right: This is the one i use everyday the ratio is 3/4 S&G and 1/4 MUA.

They work just as well as the more expensive brands but for a fraction of the price.

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer

I love this concealer it is the best one i have tried so far i have yet to try the collection 2000 one but will deffo be getting it when i find my shade in stock.

It has 2 shades a lighter softer 1 on the left which is for under eye dark patches and the slightly darker harder 1 on the right which is for blemishes then you can flip the mirror down and there is a setting powder.

Cheap version of bourjois


This is a lovely medium pink, i got this from a market stall while i was at collage yes that was a long time ago but i can't seem to give it up i love it too much. It came domed but that has long gone.

MUA Blusher in shade 1


I got this to replace the 1 above, it's a really nice colour and so pigmented it's a lighter pink than the other one and yes i accidentally took a chunk out of it Oooops. I have been using this nearly every day since i got it and it may possibly have taken top spot over in my blusher collection.

Avon highlighter


I use this to highlight under my brow, it has a really nice gold shimmer to it, i don't use this all the time as i tend to switch up the products i use to highlight quite allot, again i got this some time ago so have no idea if they still stock it.




Well that's it for the FACE part of my make up bag

The next category will be EYES

Mini Boots Haul

Well i have been dying to do a bit of shopping it makes me happy :) and while the 3 for 2 offer is on at boots why not?

So this is what i got

Percy & Reed Hair Totally TLC Hydrating mask

Collection 2000 big fake false lash effect mascara in ultra black

Barry M Crock Effect ( that's 1 ticked off the list )
Collection 2000 Perfect Finish Foundation in vanilla

 

 

I wanted to get a new foundation because the 17 miracle matt is quite thick and heavy so i chose collection 2000 perfect finish as it claims to feel weightless on your skin but still give a full coverage which sounds perfect.

I also wanted a new mascara as i have been using maybeline one-by-one for a while now and just fancied a change. As you know the Barry M croc effects is on my April wish list so as it's not April yet i crossed that one off early 'yey me'.
The last thing i got was a Percy & Reed Hair mask which i got free in April's issue of Glamour not bad considering the mask is worth £11 and the mag costs just £2, they also have the shampoo, conditioner and finishing polish in different packs so you choose which product you want and it's 100ml too so it will last a while.

I'm going to use the mask tonight i will let you all know what i think of it
