Review: Maybelline Electro Baby Lips

I have been interested in the baby lips for a few years now and I was going to purchase a couple from the regular range, but I soon changed my mind when I saw these beauties advertised!

The packaging is quite simple, but very nice. It has a black plastic base with a clear plastic cap, so you can clearly see each shade. The font colour reflects what each shade looks like and the name is clearly printed on the side. The black base twists up to dispense the electrified balm. The formula is very smooth and really glossy. You get 4.5g of product in each stick.

I picked up two of the shades:-

Strike A Rose - soft deep pink (smells of passionfruit)

Pink Shock - fuchsia berry pink (smells of raspberries)

These balms claim to offer eight hours’ worth of hydration with a sheer neon/electric kick of colour and renew your lips over time.

I really love these lip balms! They are very creamy and glide on to your lips; they also feel smooth and hydrating. The coverage can be shear, but they are very buildable. The brighter the colour you pick up, the brighter your lips look. It looks like you are just wearing a very glossy lipstick! The lasting power is around two hours without refreshments. My favourite shade out of the two is Pink Shock.

Overall these balms are brilliant and offer great colour coverage and they moisturise your lips. I just wish the formula was drier, which might make the colour on your lips last longer. After trying these, I would be interested in trying any new releases from the Baby Lips line.

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes. THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...
