ViVo Green With Envy.......................

Back for Christmas Rachel sent me a fab gift, inside was this, one of the VIVO eye shadow quads.
My Tesco doesn't stock VIVO so I was very excited as having tried one of them before, I know how great they are.

This is Green With Envy

As the name suggests its a beautiful palette of green shadows. The first 2 shadows have a more obvious shimmer to them whilst the darkest shade a beautiful rich bottle green is more Matt.

Natural Light

With Flash

I love these shadow palettes. I think that they are great value and excellent quality for a Supermarket brand.

They blend effortlessly and have great pigmentation.

All of this at the bargain price of £2.50.

Since I took these pictures, I have used this palette several times, every time I have worn it I get compliments.

Please let me know if you would like an EOTD post with this palette.

I'm loving VIVO products at the moment, what are your favourites from the range??

Christmas Goodies.................

I asked on Twitter if you wanted to see my Christmas Gifts, and a few of you were interested, so here we are....

I am soooo excited with my Christmas goodies, I was so pleased that Richard had remembered how much I wanted the Marilyn book. Its all about some of her most iconic dresses. I'm a massive Marilyn fan and this book has already given me oodles of drooling time!!

 Next Richard got me a kindle, he wasn't sure how much of a hit it would be, I am really so so pleased with it. I used to read all the time, but more recently I have found it hard to fit in the time. I had heard that people find it easier and quicker with a kindle, and so far I must agree.

I was lucky enough to get this bottle of Coco Mademoiselle from my Nana, especially as my Nana along with my Mum and Auntie gave us money for Vegas. Its the pure perfume and is 7.5ml, its super tiny but having had this before I know that it surprisingly lasts ages and goes a longgggggg way. I think I will wait till Vegas to open this as I still have half of my other bottle to use.

Richard bought me my 1st YSL Rouge Volupte, and its LOVE already. I know that these are expensive (£22.00) but having tried one, I can now understand why. Ive had YSL lipsticks before but these are just such a little piece of luxury.(full post coming soon!!)

Next up I wanted to share some of the things my gorgeous friend Rachel sent me for Christmas. This is just 5 of many many things, you will see the rest in reviews and bits n pieces over the next few weeks. One of my favourite things was the VIVO baked blush, Rach knew that I couldn't get these where I live and how much I wanted to try it, and better still I love this colour and the formula is great.  I love the 2 shades of lipsticks too, both very me :))

And on top of that, SPARKLICIOUS nail polish, could Rach know me any better?!?! he he.

Ive done some swatches of the lipsticks and blush below :)

Pink Pout VIVO lipstick, Barely There VIVO lipstick and VIVO Baked Blush in Shade 4.

So that was most of my Christmas Goodies. I hope that Santa was good to you all and bought you some lovely things.

Red October, VIVO Red, Red................

So today's and my last lipstick for Red October is VIVO's Red, Red.

Now I was lucky enough to receive this as as part of the goodie bag from TOWIB1 event.

It is a soft red shade with slight crimson tones.

The finish is a little more sheer than some of the others and applies beautifully.

This lipstick gives a lovely soft look to the lips. I love how it is a Red but almost looks soft....

Its really moisturising and lasts really well on the lips.

This is the first lipstick I have tried by VIVO and I'm really impressed.

I think for anyone a bit scared of Red this would be a good place to start as I think its really easy to wear as its not a cream finish.

What do you think?? Have you tried the fab VIVO lipsticks yet???
