Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow

This is Max Factor's dual ended smoky cream eyeshadow stick, with an all over lid colour and a crease/contour colour. I got the shade 2 in Bronze Haze. Step 1 is the lid colour and Step 2 is the crease/contour colour, but you can mix and match them if you want to.

On the website is says that this product is a "fool proof new tool that shades, blends and defines your eyes for this season’s sultriest, sexiest looks" and "its double-ended application system has 2 distinctive tips designed to make smoky eyes easier than ever".

The make-up artists say, "for the perfect daytime smoky eye - go neutral. First blend the lighter end over your eyelid and finish by applying the darker end along the lash line and into the crease of your eye. Intensify your smoky eye for evening by sweeping the darker shade underneath your lower lashes and winging it out dramatically at the corners".
Step 1 - is a metallic peach colour, with sparkle.
Step 2 - is a metallic mahogany brown colour, with sparkle.

When I tried this out I didn’t like it. The colours are beautiful and the whole idea of them is great but they crease with and without eye primer. You could layer them with eyeshadow, but that defeats the purpose of them. They are highly pigmented, but the colours will just fade and crease away and they easily smudge. Therefore I would not re-purchase.

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

BIG NEWS: Next Paradise IS BACK! ❤

As you may have noticed from the title I am excited! I actually found out on Christmas Eve but forgot to mention it to you, are you ready? NEXT PARADISE PERFUME IS BACK IN BUSINESS! ! ! ! I’m not sure when it was re-launched and I don’t know whether it was temporary for Christmas, but from what I can tell the website still have it in stock, so who knows. I just hope that it stays so I can re-purchase it again. On the website it shows the perfume in its re-branded state and I must say the bottle looks lovely and it is now £10 for 100ml, instead of the previous £12 for 100ml, so even more WOW! Click here to read the review I posted on this perfume. £10 – 100ml – Click Here! So will you be picking it up? Because I definitely 100% recommend it! J

Jeffree Star Cosmetics X Shane Dawson Conspiracy Palette

I managed to get my hands on the new JSC x Shane Dawson palette on launch day! It took a few hours to complete the purchase online, but I didn’t give up. I have been following the journey of the creation of the whole collection on YouTube and everything is eye catching. I decided to only pick up the main palette this time; I usually buy at least one liquid lipstick from every JSC collection launch. Also available from the collection was the Mini Controversy Palette. I really love the shades Controversy and My Apology from the palette, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of the other shades, which is why I decided against purchasing it. There are also six velour liquid lipsticks (none of the shades appealed to me), pig mirrors, make-up bags/cases, clear version of the gloss and a lip balm. I believe the lip balm is only available in the USA. You can buy the products in bundles or buy the items separately. The packaging of the Conspiracy Palette slightly resembles the cas...
