Ysl Rouge Volupte and Glossy Stain........

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!
Hope that the start of your week has been fab so far!!
Today I have for you two lip products that I picked up last month from YSL with some of my beauty card points.

Its a new Rouge Volupte in No8 and one of there beautiful Glossy Stains in no 14. 


I picked these colors as I wanted colors for the Autumn/Winter that were more rosy toned, kind of my lips but better, i'm pleased with my choices.


No 14 Glossy Stain is the brighter of the two, having worn this a few times, it comes off a little redder on me. When I took these pictures, my lips were already stained from another lippy so I couldn't do a swatch for you. Ill def get one up in the next few days.


Rouge Volupte No 8 is simply beautiful, its the perfect rosy shade for my skin tone, I also find this one to be more creamy in texture than my Lingerie Pink.  This shade is on the Christmas collection display, its not a limited edition tho, just a re promote. 

No 14 and No 8

These to shades also work beautifully together, I popped a little of the glossy stain on top the other day and loved it!

I love spending my beauty points on items that I would normally not buy, and as much as I adore the YSL lipsticks, I grudge £22 ish on a lippy.



What do you like to treat yourself to with Beauty Points or Advantage card points??

MUA Shimmer Kisses Blush and Bronzer.......


As a huge fan of MUA when there is a new release I get very excited! I love how you get such great quality products at such reasonable prices. 
MUA are always bang on trend and have catwalk trends long before the other brands launch products.

The products I want to talk to you about today are the Shimmer Kisses bronzer and Blush.


These two shimmer powders offer a range of uses as well as the named description of bronzer and blush.

L To R
Blusher & Bronzer

the quality of these powders makes them enjoyable to use, they are finely milled and not at all chunky or powdery.
I have found myself reaching for the Bronzer palette to use as eye shadows, the shades are lovely and neutral and give a really pretty natural eye look. The blush palette also works in the same way, although this I do prefer to use as a blush. Being a shimmer fan I do enjoy a blush with shimmer, if you like a matte finish, then these are obviously not for you.


Blush
In these swatches, I have shown each colour individually and then blended together underneath.
As you can see the pinks are cool toned, when mixed together they give a lovely glowy blush.

Bronzer
The natural tones in the bronzer shout out at me to be used on the eyes as I mentioned before. The colours when mixed on my skin tone also make a lovely highlight. If you have a fairer skin tone then this palette as long as you like shimmer would be a great place to start when looking for something to warm the skin through.

I purchased both of these palettes, I was however lucky enough to be sent a bronzer to review, so what I am going to do is have a MUA mini giveaway on my twitter and Instagram over the weekend into Monday, so keep your eyes peeled to win the bronzer and a Intense kisses gloss too!!!

You can find my Twitter and Instagram link on the Left!!


These can be bought at selected branches of Superdrug or Online here.
At £3.00 I think the price is great for such a versatile product.

What do you think of The shimmer Kisses range?

Pomegranate Punk Colour Tattoo......

As a fan of the Maybelline Colour Tattoos I do lust after the US exclusives. One that I have been wanting for a long time is Pomegranate Punk, a rich dark plum shade.
As I have mentioned before I buy from Ebay and so when I saw it for £7.00 including postage, I ordered it straight away.


Im so pleased I did, its a beautiful colour. The rich plum shade has a slight shimmer running through it that somehow makes wearable in both the daytime and evening, at first sight you may feel that this is exclusively for evenings, however as you can see from the swatches below the shimmer helps to make it day time appropriate and somewhat softer.


The colour can be built up or sheared out making it super versatile.

Since I got this it has been a firm favorite and had lots of use. Its great for warming up cooler tone shadows when you use it as a base. It really is a very pretty colour, if you are looking for a plum base this is the way to go.

Like all the colour tattoo's its long lasting and I get no creasing.

It is such a shame that this is a US exclusive as I know so many of the colour tattoo fans would love it!!!

So what do you think?
Is Pomegranate Punk a shade that you would wear?

Sleek Respect Palette.......

Sleeks latest offering in Partnership with PPQ is the Shangri-La palettes.
There are two in the collection, but it was the respect palette that grabbed my attention with its mix of warm pinks and corals, deep plum and gorgeous neutrals all in a mix of shimmer and matte shades.


As always the palette is a sleek black matte finish with a large mirror. 



The shades in this palette are just stunning, I love the mix of bights and neutrals allowing you to do everything from a classic day time look to something more creative and festive. The pigmentation of the colors is second to none in both the shimmers and mattes. They are long lasting and I have no problems with creasing.
I also love that I can wear the coral shades as blush making it an ideal palette fro travel.

I really do think that this is one of the prettiest and user friendly palettes that Sleek has made in a long time and for me is a winner all the way. 

I picked mine up in Superdrug for £7.99, if your local branch is sold out tho, it is still available from Sleek online in a special two part set with the Matt lip color in Jazz for £11.99.


Would you like to see a tutorial with this palette?

MAC Glamour Daze Superb and Everything That Glitters.........


Every year MAC launches a fabulous Christmas collection with everything our heart could desire. And this year The Glamour daze Collection delivers big time.

I had promised myself that I wasn't going to go mad and buy too much from the collection as I have asked for a few bits for Christmas and also, I want to show the makeup I have a little love.

There were just two things that I knew I wanted to get when the collection launched online.
1 was the Extra Dimension Skin finish in Superb that I missed out on earlier in the year, and the other was Everything That Glitters Nail polish. This is my first polish from MAC and what a way to start, a glitter fest in a bottle!!





Superb is a beautiful Rose gold tone highlight. I am not disappointed with this at all, I am so pleased to have this as part of my kit. It looks beautiful on a range of skin tones and adds beautiful light to the skin without being super sparkly or shiny looking.



Next is Everything that glitters, a sheer black based polish with micro glitter in magenta, teal blue, silver and gold.
Its just beautiful and opaque in two coats. The glitter is nice and dense and gives fantastic and even coverage. As I mentioned this is my first MAC polish, I hope I haven't started another obession here!!! lol.



I am really pleased with my two purchases from the collection and super excited to use them over the festive season.

Are there any items you will picking up before Christmas?
