Collection Little Mix Makeup Range

For so long I've been wanting to try out the Collection's Little Mix Range and for Christmas I got the Eyeshaodw palette and the lipstick collection. Their range has been very popular since it was launched which has made the products pretty hard to get a hold of otherwise I'd have picked up some products sooner. I love the collab between Collection and Little Mix as they've definitely made their products affordable for their audience who may be on a budget.

All about the eyes palette £2.99- This is the perfect little eyeshdow palette that I think everyone needs to have in their collection. The lightest shade is a slightly shimmery highlight shade called Feather(1) which would be perfect for brightening the inner corner or used on the brow bone. The next three shades Sunkissed(2), Golden Sand(3) and Dazzling Brown(4) are more shimmery, bronze shades that would look perfect all over the lid especially the first two for a really bright eye makeup look. The fifth shade in the palette is called Cocoa Dream(5) and I think this would look perfect in the outer corner of the eye to deepen and make a smokier look or it could be mixed with Dazzling Brown(4) for a lighter corner look. Finally the last shade in the palette is the dark black called Blackbrid(6) which could be used for liner or to further deepen the outer corner of the eye. The only downfall of this palette is that there are no completely matte shades which I feel is essential in any eye makeup look even if just for transition but apart from that I love this palette and it's definitely one you can play around with to create a few different looks. The eyeshaodws are very pigmented especially the black shade which means they still look amazing without priming the eyes and they blend super easy so I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy the palette especially with the price!

Lipsticks £2.99

Jade-This lipstick has been on my Nude lipstick wishlist for so long now and I was desperate to get my hands on it but everytime I went to try a buy this in Superdrug there were never any left! It's the perfect everyday lipstick and is very much a 'your lips but better' shade. I can already tell that this is going to be a favourite lipstick of mine as I'm already reaching for it a lot because it goes with every makeup look.

Jesy- I have a lot of red lipsticks in my collection but I don't have any quite like this shade. Jesy's is a super pigmented bright red lip which will be perfect for in the summer time and definitely makes a statement.

Leigh-anne-This lisptick is more my kind of red lipstick shade as its deeper, glamourous red. This shade is definitely easier to pull off and you can still make a statement with this lipstick without being too in your face.

Perrie-This was the shade that I really wasn't sure how to pull off at first because it's a pastel purple shade but after trying it on it quickly became my favourite of the collection. Although it can look a little scary in the tube it's actually really easy to wear and I definitely don't have another lipstick like this.

I love the colour range of this lipstick range becsuase there is definitely something for everyone but the only downfall is that they don't last very long on the lips so you do have to keep topping them up throughout the day in order to sustain the look but that's something that really doesn't bother me.

W7- Honeycomb Blusher + 10 out of 10 Palette

W7 seems to be a brand that's popping up everywhere and I definitely think that it'll be hitting off in 2015. This brand is perfect for anyone starting out in makeup or anyone on a budget. You definitely get more than what you bargain for with their products because they're so inexpensive but such good quality. B&M, T J Hughes and T K Max are all places that I've seen W7 stocked in so there are plenty of places to take a look at some of their products. I even think they stock it in ASDA.

The Honey Queen Honeycomb blusher £4.95-This is my favourite of the two products and it's a definite dupe for the Benefit blush boxes but so much cheaper! It's a beautiful shade with amazing pay off on the skin, this is a blush that I have been absolutely loving and has been a staple in my makeup routine throughout December! Included in the box was a super soft blush applicator so for anyone new to makeup it makes it very easy to apply. I've been loving using this brush for a bolder contoured look.

The 10 out of 10 palette £2.99(selected stores)-This 10 shade palette provides everything you'll need to create the perfect brown eyed makeup look. With both warm, cool, shimmer and matte tone shades it gives you many opportuniteis to create different eyeshadow looks. Although these are not the best eyeshadows that I've used they are still very good quality for their price. They blend easy but to get the best pay off you may need an eyeshadow primer underneath but they are definitely still worth the money. This would be a perfect first palette as the shades are all neutral so you can't really go wrong. You could even try out some of these shades to fill out your brows.

I'll definitely be looking out for more W7 products to try out in the future because these two really excelled my expectations.

Have you tried out any W7 products, What did you think?

All about that nude eyeshadow!

When I heard that Wilko's were stocking Essence in store I just couldn't resist nipping to the local to have a quick look at what they had to offer. While there I picked up the All About Nude eyeshadow palette.

With six shades ranging from matt to shimmer to metallic it's so easy to create the look that you desire and create a complete natural eye look. All the shades are super smooth which makes them really easy to blend and with an eyeshadow primer they stay put all day long. The white shade works great when used as a highlight for the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eyes. The mink and the mulberry shades both blend really well into the crease to contour and create a natural shadow. For my go to look I've been using the pink shades all over the lid, the mulberry shade throughout the crease and a mix of the mulberry and mink just in the outer corner of the lid and down onto the lash line.

I have been loving using this palette over the past week and I cant wait to return to the essence stand to make some more purchases especially with this palette only costing £3.50! In fact I already have a list forming of all the things that I want to try from essence.

You can pick up this palette from Wilkinson's online here or from the essence website here.

They also do the palette in three other shades which you can find here:

All about sunrise

All about paradise

All about candies

Do you know of any other cheap eyeshadow palettes that are similar to this one?
