Urban decay Ammo palette!


I am absolutely in love with urban decays latest palette and as you can imagine by the name it is full of metallics. I bought this a few weeks ago and it's just been sat on my vanity waiting to be used, I wish I had used it sooner because the some of the colours are out of this world!.

I was slightly disappointed that there are three colours out of the ten that have been in previous UD palettes. Smog, Chopper and Sin although they are brilliant I would have preferred other colours.

The palette comes with a lovely little travel size 11ml tube of primer potion in the new squeezy packaging and a travel size synthetic shadow brush.

Now for the swatches!.

From left to right.
Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call and Chopper


Maui Wowie, Polyester Bride, Grifter, Sin and Shattered.

I adore Shattered and Oil Slick which is ver similar to MACs Cinderfella but personally I prefer Oil Slick.

Vivo Lipstick swatches.

Swatches from the Tesco Vivo lip stick range.

Barely there - Pink Pout - Sugar Pink

I must say these do smell a little like a cheap air freshener. Personally i don't mind that and you can't really grumble at the £1.50 price tag.

Best Glitter Nail Polish ... In the entire world! for £1.99!. - NOTD

Ok, so maybe not the entire world.. Well i havent tried every glitter nail polish in the world, nothing that i have tried has competed!.

This is at two days old!, No top coat.

If you havent already tried W7 glitter polishsthen i would recommend them!, I adore them although ive always thought of glitter polish to be more of a festive thing not all the neons and nudes in the world will keep me away from them this season.

The only bad thing i would say about this polish is that the brushes arent great, they are the bog standard brushes. Also the consistancy of some that i have bought have been too thin but after a little while they thicken out as the begin to 'dry' out. I love my really old ones that are all gluepy because its so easy to get this amazing coverage on your nails!, did i mention this is one yes ONE coat with a old polish!.

You can find these at your local budget cosmetics shop for around £1.99 our shop has a 3 for £5 offer on all of the time too.

Maybelline 24 Hour color tattoos!

Ive wanted to try these for what feels like a long time. There has been alot of hype around them since there release in the US. I didnt even know they had been released here in the UK yet!, so i was delighted to see them in my local superdrug and they were on offer 3 for 2!.

Endless Purple - Eternal Gold - On and on Bronze

Eternal Gold - Endless Purple - On and on Bronze

On and on Bronze - Endless Purple - Eternal Gold

I really like these and i wll be buying more especially while they are 3 for 2. They are not expensive either if you are thinking on the basis of using these as a eyeshadow base/primer. Im not sure if they would last a few 24 hours but im going to put it to the test.

How to make a shimmer lipstick matte

Hey Guys!

I dont know about you but i love the Matte velvet lip look for the festive season, but i don't want to go and buy a whole load of new lipsticks that im only going to use a few days of the year, also more matte lipsticks can be drying and especially now its cold we really don't need anything thats going to dry our lips out anymore.

So wouldnt it be great if you could make your favourite shimmer lipstick into a matte!, Well acctually you can!. I only heard this a few days ago and was amazed!. My lipstick lasted all day and didnt rub of while eating or drinking!

So here it is!
Yep HD powder ive only got ELF HD powder but any other would do!

Im not going to do lip swatches because im having a break out around my chin :( but i do have some hand swatches for you
These are both Collection 2000, the one on the left is Plum Perfection and the one on the right it Ruby Red. (These are only £2.99)

Here is the lipsticks straight out the tube


Just lightly pat a little bit of the HD powder over the top
and you will get .........


It lasted me all day and didnt dry out my lips!.
Let me know if you try it!

Revlon Nail polish .... For £1!

Hey guys,

I dont know how many people know about this or if im the last person on the band wagon!

I went into the pound shop (Pound Land) and spotted nail polishes! I couldnt help taking a look, to my amazment they were Revlon! They had a few colors too, I only got one because i had masses of shopping from other shops in my hands. I got Emerald City which is a Matte finish.


It was pretty hard to get good pictures of the color without natural lighting but i just couldnt wait to blog about this!



I think you would agree
£1 + Revlon = Bargin!!
