Zara Limited Collection Perfume LVIII

My latest craze... perfume! I had actually no idea that Zara did perfume until my friend mentioned it. All that time i had never even known. Almost immediately i went down to Zara to browse their perfumes and i chose this one. I did like the fruity scents as well- don't get me wrong however i felt this was more of a signature scent.
This was 6.99 from Zara, a fabulous price for a perfume. It is quite a heavy scent so i would only spritz the tiniest amount. Overall i love the packaging, scent and price!

Have you ever tried a Zara perfume?

Revlon ColorBurst Balm- Flirtatious

Well i decided to try a different background for this post today, hm not too sure about it but it will do for now!

As you may (or may not) know the Revlon Matte balms have been raved about on the internet, however I bought a normal colorburst ones accidentally due to the confusion of Boots website.

It is a bright glossy balm and costing £7.99 from Boots, fair price for what it is.
It applies nice and smoothly, very similar to a tinted Lip Balm, though this has way more pigment. Even after an hour you can rub your lips together without removing all the skin off your lips (you know the feeling). It is very moisturising and non sticky - Finally something non sticky!

I wear this quite a lot as it is still very bold for my complexion but i love it and looking to buy some more, including the matte balms as they seem utterly intriguing.

Lily Flame Blush Candle

I know i am not the only one who loves a good candle, i am one of the many candle lovers in the world. Come into my house and there is always at least 1 candle burning at any one time. Recently i was browsing good old John Lewis and came across this. It is £8.50 full size, which relative to other candles is a fair price.

In all honesty, i tried sniffing some of the other candle and wasn't a huge fan really apart from this one. Blush smells warm and fragrant, it doesn't smell fresh almost musky. When it is alight it the smell is not as strong as it smells when you first open the tin. I really like it, it creates a nice smell around my room and adds warmth as well (not in the literal sense).

Over all i really like the product and the packaging is just adorable!

Natural Collection Blush - Pink Cloud

When i think of Natural Collection i think of girls buying their first bit of make up. I haven't really given it the credit it deserves. I recently bought this blush from Natural Collection in the shade 'Pink Cloud'. It seemed liked the perfect natural pink colour, without going too harsh. It was £1.99 which is a really good price.

Whenever i buy Natural Collection products the product always seems to fall out the packaging, is that a common problem? Its not a huge hindrance it is just a bit annoying when it keeps falling out every time i pick it up.

The colour pay off from this blush is fair, it is amazing if you want a really natural pink cheek. However if you were going to go for the bolder blush look, i don't think this is for you.

Length wise, it stays on mostly all day. Although the consistency is quite powdery and looks it if you build up the blush.

I really like this blush especially as we are getting into spring/summer because i can easily achieve that effortless glowy look for summer!

Max Factor Wild Shadow Pot - Auburn Envy

First, I must apologize for my absence and being an awful blogger. I just have had a lot on my plate recently and that plate is clearing now so i can add blogging back into my life (...well that was descriptive and slightly weird).

Anyway putting the weirdness aside i have this Max Factor eye shadow in 35 Auburn Envy to review! In my make up collection there are very few Max Factor products, no particular reason it is just i have never been drawn to it. However over the Christmas period (oh how long ago that feels) the eye shadows caught my eye. I came away with this eye shadow in my grips.

The Packaging.... how disappointing, i mean for £4.99 it must be possible to package it better. Although it isn't that bad it feels quite cheap and tacky. 

Empties #1

A couple days ago (March 3rd) was my birthday and i got some new make up products. So i thought i would clear out some space, and i have been keeping empties lying about so it was due time to do an empties post!

1. Revlon Colour Stay foundation- I have since repurchased this foundation and love it!

2. Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub- It didn't work wonders for me so i will not be repurchasing it!

3. Collection Pump up the volume mascara- It was ok, although there are much better mascaras out there.

L'oreal Hairspray- It was good, though not amazing.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour - This broke me out a bit, now way to dark for me! I mean look at the colour difference between the 2 foundations.

Well this concludes my first empties post, i hope you enjoyed it!

Collection Eye-shadow Pencil

This post was due about a month ago, but this product was put to the back of my mind, assuming that i reviewed it. Honestly, i am so dippy sometimes you wouldn't believe. This is the Collection Eye-shadow Pencil which is £3.19 from Boots.

Firstly, I love the whole concept of this idea. The whole quick, in a rush, whack it on and go. As the packaging goes, its simple but intriguing for sure. I chose the colour Hot Chocolate, a deep brown, perfect for the natural smoky eye. 

 The amount of product is appalling to be honest. The top is all you get, you can't roll it up any more, this was really disappointing as the product itself is good. 

This eye-shadow stick is very pigmented and has a lovely colour. Also it blends very easily for the perfect smoky eye, as i mentioned before, gosh i am totally obsessed with the smoky eye!

I might do a blog post showing you how i apply this, comment if you want me to!

 As you can see from the swatch below it is very pigmented, creamy and packed with colour!
