Look Fantastic Haul #1


Hello, I am going to share with you some nail polishes I bought from LookFantastic.com. I received them yesterday and they are my new obsession, ESSIE.

I mainly look for the mini four piece polish collections from Essie, because they are not very expensive and they are small, which is good for me because I tend to love colours when I buy them and then go off them when I buy another, this way I have more chance of using one up and trying many different shades.

I got the Summer 2011 Collection for £11.85, which consists of four shades called, Braziliant, Smooth Sailing, Super Bossa Nova and Meet Me At Sunset. I know this collection is quite old, but the colours appealed to me, plus other collections from last year had really light colours and I am more into pastel bright colours. My favourite colour from this collection is Braziliant. I also bought a full size of Olé Caliente for £5.95, which is quite inexpensive for an Essie polish in the UK. I actually got this shade in another mini collection I bought not so long ago, but I fell in love with it and had to buy it in full size, especially for that price. Lastly I received a free sample of Caudalie Vinexpert Anti-Ageing Serum (1.5ml) for eyes and lips, and I gave this away to a family member, as it has no relevance to me.

I know this was short, but hopefully sweet, BYE! ;)

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Darling Easy Eye Palette

I have another Charlotte Tilbury palette post for you today; I have been on a roll with them! You can definitely tell I am a fan of her eyeshadow formula. There are loads of other CT products I would love to try, but I am slowing down the purchases for now as I do have a confession to make at the end of this post! THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of shiny maroon plastic and it has a short, thin and rectangular shape. It has a metallic gold starburst design across the front. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the rectangular eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across a mirrored gold base. The group names are printed on the back of the palette. The shades don’t really have names, but there is a removable plastic insert included which labels the eyeshadows as 1 Prime, 2 Enhance or 3 Smoke. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 0.9g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes.   ·    ...

Lauren Luke Set of 8 Essential Brushes

I have had this brush set for close to two years now and I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to review it. This brush set is by Lauren Luke and she wanted to create brushes that she would use herself and be well made, but not too expensive. When I bought my set the shipping cost was £1.99 (UK), but it may have changed. Large Powder Brush – £6.50 This brush is supposed to be brilliant for applying foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter. The bristles are 185mm in length and made of goat hair. This is one of my favourite brushes from the set and it is jam packed with bristles, but it is so soft!  It is the perfect size too, because the head is relatively large but the shorter handle makes it sit well. It works well for any powder product and for sweeping away fall out from eyeshadows. The bristles enable you to pick up quite a bit of product, so if you are using colour don’t be heavy handed. I do not recommend using it for cream based products as it can...

Tarte Tartelette Tease Palette

I saw this advertised last year and I have been interested in the full sized Tartelette palettes before, but couldn’t really justify buying one (plus I couldn’t find anywhere in the UK that sold them). I thought getting this little ‘tease’ would introduce me to the brand, plus the shades look very appealing. This palette is described as being the “pocket-perfect version” of the original Tartelette palette. I thought it would be slightly bigger, but it is actually pocket sized. It is a similar size to the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palettes, but it is shorter in length and slightly wider. It’s overall layout is landscape with a length of 9.7cm and width of 5.8cm. It is made of cardboard and has a pink, purple and gold theme. The lid of the palette is magnetised and you lift it up to reveal the eyeshadows. It also has a small mirror on the reverse side of the lid and the eyeshadow pans are laid out in two rows of three shades. The pans are rectangular in shape and the shades n...
