Look What Arrived!

Look what I found at my door this morning! My MIA e.l.f nail polish in Dark Glitter Purple! It arrived in the same size box as my other products arrived in together, a bit of a waste I thought? Anyway I am disappointed in this colour and I will tell you why.

It didn’t come in a product box this time (no waste), it was just wrapped in a plastic film, so you can tell if it has been opened or not, which is great! It also had a sticker on it saying, ‘Brand New Formula’, overall it looks like any other £1.50 e.l.f nail polish, but the colour is way off!

When I first saw it on their website it was a NEW colour and I was looking for a full glitter purple nail polish, like the Red Glitter by Barry M I have. The swatch on their website showed a full purple glitter colour, but when I received it this morning, let’s just say, it is not what I wanted! L

This is what I was led to believe it looked like,

This is what it really looks like,

- Sorry about the state of my nail, I just wanted a quick swatch!

It is really dark and it has more blue glitters in it than purple and the formula is very washy, you would need several coats, plus it looks too shiny/glossy, a glitter polish is not typically shiny/glossy. I’m grateful that they sent it me, but I just don’t like it, sorry!

It is partially my fault because I didn’t think to check swatches on Google Images, but the name and website swatch misled me for some reason, even though it does say Dark Glitter Purple, I was still expecting a colour more like e.l.f Purple Dream nail polish, but full on glitter! It is actually a nice colour, but just not my kind of colour and finish, better luck next time! J

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes a lipgloss crayon. I am going to review this product as a whole, even though I only have it in one shade. This looks like a standard eyeliner pencil, but the design is a lot nicer looking. The majority of them have the silver lid, but I have noticed that a couple of the shades have a different colour lid. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Zero is a soft black shade and it is not the darkest black Urban Decay do. This shade is part of the regular line and mine is the 0.8g sample size, the full sized product is 1.2g. Like the majority of pencil eyeliners, you have to sharpen it to dispense more product and the formula is smooth and creamy. This eyeliner is supposed to be creamy, long lasting, waterproof, highly pigmented and velvety soft. It is also said to contain moisturising ingredients, which makes it very safe f

Urban Decay X Oz The Great and Powerful 'Theodora' Palette

“because we all have a good side and a bad side” As you can tell from the title of this post, I am going to review the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette from Urban Decay, which is Limited Edition. I decided to choose the Theodora palette, which is the bad witch. I chose this one because when I first saw the palettes I thought it was just the tin you got and I really liked the Theodora tin because it is more Wizard of Oz looking than the Glinda palette. I was looking for just the tin for when I buy more Urban Decay eyeshadows and BeautyBay only had one design. I was so excited to see the picture of the Oz tins, so naturally I wanted one! As it turned out they were full palettes that included eyeshadow, eyeliner and a lip gloss stick. Luckily the palette I wanted was the neutral of the two because although the Glinda palette is very pretty, I would have hardly used it. The Theodora palette is made of black plastic and has a really beautiful design on the front, whi
