NYX Lipstick swatches!

Just a quick post to show some lovely NYX lipstick swatches!
I'm going to do a load more like these to show the colour
These are taken with a flash and on NC20 skin

I will be doing another one WITH images of lipstick on the actual lips, these stain a bit, especially the red which REALLY stains and its hard to do all the colours in one big go haha!

BARRY M Glitter Polishes Swatches

I thought I'd start swatching some stuff! So here are some Barry M glitters!



I've still got some more to go! They're only £2.99 so easy enough to collect :)
When I get a more diverse range of colours I'll be doing a full swatch of Barry M nail products!
Maybe even start collecting all the brand, as it's quite cheap! Just a drugstore product so easy to get too!
My fave out of these are: 264, 349, 352

Sleek STORM Eyeshadow Palette swatches

This is the Sleek Storm Palette!
Here are my swatches! They have been swatched once only, 
From what I can tell from using these for the first time, I think
that the shimmery more metallic ones turn out better, rather than the matte colours
I have a few more of these palettes and will be blogging more swatches soon!!



All swatches are done on NC20 skin and with flash indoors!
As you can see, like I said, the frosty colours appear more than the mattes!!

TONY MOLY Petite Bunny Gloss Bar Review

So I was brought back a lot of Korean cosmetics about Spring time
I still need to review LOADS of these, but recently my camera got fixed,
So here is my first review!
I love this! It's a small gloss stick
In colour #04 red
I love it so much! Not very red though, which is a shame,
More of a tinted red, like a balm
Though I love the packaging!!
You can see it doesn't come up so red, more of a balm
It's a nice consistency, not too sticky or not too hard.
I only wish it be a bit more red, as I LOVE red lips!
Recently bought aswell the RED lipstick from the Holiday mac 2011 collection in
Such Flare!! I'll have to swatch that sometime soon!!

ALSO!
Updated Winter Wishlist!!

Etude House Sweet Eye Cupcake Review & Swatches

Etude House Sweet Eye cupcake review!
I received menu #1, which was a perfect colour for me!!
Hopefully I shall do a tutorial soon, however it is only 2 colours
I would be needing more colours to finish a look!
So this is my Etude house eye cupcake review!

Like always Etude House always have such cute packaging so that appealed to me greatly!!
It looked very sweet and very cute, just like a small cupcake!
The outside packaging reminded me of how I used to buy cupcakes
they used to come in little boxes, just like this one!
The inside tin, it's not huge, but Im guessing no one would want a huge cupcake
inside their bag?
As for the inside, it's a pretty mineralised eyeshadow duo.
The colours look perfect together! Like chocolate and vanilla!
The texture matches well! Just like the top of a cupcake!
I was scared at first that the colour would be really dull and not come out so bold.
This is so very bright! The colours come out very well!!
I also would like to get Menu 5 too!! It looks so dark!!
I will add this item into a tutorial sometime!

Gah I need to post more!! Ive yet again lost my little camera
I need to find it!! I shall try and post other things instead for now!
Giveaway soon!!

Recent Haul & Post

I've been wanting to get this from Mac for a while now. It recently got repromoted in the Mac In The Groove Collection. So I had planned to get this one! I did want to originally get the Stereo Rose, however it seemed too dark for my skin. This one I had to get! This mineralize skinfinish is called Petticoat! ^^

I've been wanting to get this for ages now but never really got round to buying it! I also haven't bought myself any mac in ages! So this was my #1 amongst others haha! I love it! So pretty! It looks so perfect! Peach and gold! I think I'm going to do some more make up tutorials! I haven't done any. I just can't get good enough images haha! I might make a youtube channel. I'm not too sure yet. Though I'm going to deffo do a review on this! I'll show how to apply it too!

In direct sun light so you can really see the true colour. Isn't it lovely!

You can pick up a mixture of colours with this skin finish. The very bottom is the lightest part, the middle is the dark plum bronze colour, and the very top is a mixture of all. It's super shiny and It would be perfect for a nice highlighter! Eek I can't wait to use it!

Also this morning some lovely mail came! I recently bought the Koji Dollywink eyelash case! I've been meaning to get this for some time now! I have A LOT of eyelashes, so I like to keep them in cute storage! This is one thing that will always be in my bag! hehe!

Also this pretty necklace appeared in the mail ^^ It's classic Alice In Wonderland Theme! I think it's so pretty! Looks really classic! It's a 3D dome type necklace hehe^^ Really delicate I think anyway, I need to start wearing more jewls!

Then I got a lovely package from a friend! Haha! I've never seen so many pandas in one package haha! Cute panda stickers and ichigo stickers, cute notebooks and a cute panda bag! Kawaii ne! x

That's all for now! I'm planning on doing loads more posts soon! Also today I got 2 sets of deco nails done! I'll put them up soon!! I'm thinking of doing more tutorials! What do you think? xx

Etude House Magic BB Cream


Ok! So I haven't been posting a lot lately! Though now I will be posting a lot more!
I have locked myself in a room where I've been non stop making Lolita items!
I loved every moment of it! Just that it has made me very busy!
Now I'm back, keeping it simple and making atleast 2-3 items a week
rather than 2-3 items a day! That was killing me!
So I'm going to take it easy and study more!
Mmh! A lot of studying! A lot of pattern cutting! A lot of paper! haha
Ok! So Spring is here! I LOVE SPRING! Love love love it!
Pretty pink cherry blossom trees!
Everyone is in a cheery mood and I get to wear pretty dresses!
Also I have started to use makeup that isn't powder!
It's all cream/liqiud! Also it suits my skin a lot more
My skin is a combination of oily and dry
A little tip: Do not exfoliate your blemishes and they will only cause more break outs!
So cream foundation is great for my skin!
I have been using for the past few weeks my new BB cream by Etude House
This is #01 For Oily skin (As it is summer-ish)
This one is a lot better I found than the BB precious Mineral cream from Etude House
This one suits my skin a lot more! Especially for summer!
The texture is so creamy, not thick!
Sometimes you get cream foundation that sort of sits on your skin
This one is like water on your skin, it blends so well with my skin colour
It's not too thick, It looks 100% natural too!
Great coverage and doesn't look like you have foundation on!
I apply my BB Creams with sponges as I find it blends better with my skin
I used to use a foundation brush, but it wasn't really worth it.
The BB cream isn't something you really need to take time to apply
It's actually like rubbing a cream into your face, a bit like tinted moisturizer, but not thick
For colour coverage, I would say this deffo doesn't need a concealer
This will cover very well, if you do want to add that little bit of concealer
I advise not to use something too thick as it would completely ruin the whole 'natural' look
It's a BB mineral which means its also good for your face!
With my foundation, I get so worried if it's adding dirt into my pores
I always have to put a good primer on but with this I'm less worried
Ok so here is the swatches of the BB cream
A red coverage test!

Woo! Great coverage! It covers the colour so well! It's not even green and it covers red!
It covers redness, also peach/yellow is great for covering purple, which is dark circles
Any darker parts, so this is also amazing for that too!
I must say this was a great buy! 100% Worth it!
My new BB cream is the summer one so soon to buy that one!
Argh a lot of words on this one hehe,
Thanks! I hope this helped!
I'm thinking of doing this 'What do you want more of' thing haha
I might make a poll or something you can vote for
Asking what you like to read on blogs more haha
Mmmh! Sounds like fun!!!
