Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe

Before I begin this review I need to first thank my boyfriends lovely Mother, without whom this post would not be possible. The Love Flush Blush Palette is not available here in the UK, but she very kindly bought it back for me from her trip to the U.S eeeeekkkk!!!!!

Ugh excitement overload! I have been lusssssting over this palette since it's release, so I was beyond ecstatic when it came into my possession.

Too Face have a range of six "Love Flush" blushes that have been sized down and put into one long palette called the "Love Flush Blush Wardrobe". The palette costs $36 for 0.42oz of product

Inglot Freedom System Eye Shadow Square's- 423, 453, 450

For some reason I had always thought that Inglot products were just sold in the U.S. That was until I took a trip to Westfields in Shepherds Bush, here there is a full Inglot shop/heaven. I immediately ran into the store like the crazed makeup fiend that I am with embarrassed boyfriend in tow & practically drooled over the display of eyeshadows.

Looking at the rainbow selection of eyeshadows I knew I had to create my own freedom palette of shadows & my Mr was lovely enough to treat me to one.  The idea behind the Freedom System is that you choose how many shadows, blushes, lipstick squares etc that you want your palette to hold (selection of palettes ranges for holding 1 to 10), you pick the shades you want & voila, you have your own personal makeup palette that you have created.

I opted for a palette that holds 3 shadows, just to start off & see how I like them (that took ALOT of restraint) I created a palette that I thought would create the perfect berry smokey eye.

Here's what I picked;

423 is a burgundy brown with a pearl finish.

450 is a medium-dark berry shade with a pearl finish.

453 is a bright white with a pearl finish that is by far to softest out of the three.

The formula is very similar to mac, in the sense that they aren't super soft & creamy like stila or urban decay but they're harder & therefore easier to build on the eye.

All shades are very blendable & the shimmer from the pearl effect is extremely fine.

Like I said 453 is definitely the softest shadow & the one I reach for most often, as I love popping this in my tear duct area for a brightening wide eyed effect.

The one thing I must add, is if like me you like to know the names of the shadows you use, then make a note of the shadows number & stick it to the bottom of your chosen palette. Because each shadows name/number is only written on the bottom of the pan & when popped into the palette the number is hidden & the magnets are extremely strong & pretty much impossible to remove.

Inglot is also available in the UK online(here) & U.S (here)

Each individual shadow is £4.50 (link here)

Palettes price range fro £4 to £24 (link here)

NYX Doll Eye Mascara And Love In Florence Palette

It's no secret that I absolutely love NYX cosmetics, I'm constantly reviewing & raving about there products. I love the affordable price, the great quality & the fact that all there products are cruelty free.

So I can not explain to you how excited I was when NYX contacted me telling me I am there chosen 'blogger of the month' for October eeeek. NYX kindly sent me some products to review, so let's get stuck in

NYX have recently released three new eyeshadow palette collections 'Love in Paris' 'Love in Rio' & 'Love In Florence'. I received a palette from the 'Love in Florance' collection called 'Eat, love, be fab' containing five shadows created exclusively for this collection.

• Intense golden shimmer shadow with slight golden glitter reflect.
• Coral shade with a slight sheen to it, also containing a little golden glitter reflect.
• Matte brown shadow (that is lighter than it appears in the pallet) great for blending into the crease.
• Emerald green shimmery shadow (absolutely goooorgeous)
• Matte dark brown shadow with golden glitter reflects.

All five shades are beautifully smooth & rich in pigment. The one down side is that after an hour or so the colour does start to fade & isn't as intense, but this can easily be fixed by using a shadow primer.

To finish off the look I also received a Lengthening mascara from the Doll Eye range. All mascara's from this range contain a blend of natural oils, Vitamin E and  nylon fibers.

The thin hourglass wand is covered in natural bristles, and can really get to the root of the lash & reach those little lashes at the corner of the eye.

 When the wand is removed from the tube you can clearly see the wand covered in fibers, but when applied to the lashes I can't see any fibers at all so unfortunately they don't enhance the length of my lashes.

The consistency of the mascara is unusually dry, maybe this is because of the fibers. So you do have to layer the mascara, coating the back & the front of the lash.

Even though I don't see the fibers helping with lengthening my lashes, the hourglass shaped wand seems to create the lengthening effect itself.

Doll Lash Mascara - £7 
 Love In Florence Palettes - £8 
Both available from nyxcosmetics.co.uk
