Ofra x NikkiTutorials Highlighter Review

Image
Hi lovelies, Yea turns out I lied again about the affordable makeup. I'm really sorry guys but with all this amazing makeup coming out I just can't help myself from buying the more expensive stuff. Ok I lied again, I bought this in another Beauty Bay sale and I got a whole £9 off (how could I not). As soon as I saw this on NikkiTutorials channel ( this video I believe), I needed to get this highlighter only because I don't want to use all my Sugarpill x Little Twin Stars palette (shameless plug but you can check out that review here ). The Ofra x NikkiTutorials highlighters are available in 2 shades: space baby and cloud 9. I purchased cloud 9 because I prefer a pink tinted highlighter over a silver highlighter (that's space baby). Both highlighters are available on Beauty Bay (see here ) and retail for £25 for 10g. You will get free UK delivery from BeautyBay and my order was delivered within 2 days. As always it was safely packed. The packaging is nice and s

BirchBox UK November Subscription Review

Image
Hi lovelies, So I know I said I was going to cancel this subscription but I always think the next box might be awesome so I haven't yet. The months box design is in collaboration with Disney for their new film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. This box was shipped a little later than usual but I have a feeling that it is because of the collaboration. It arrived within a few days and everything was well protected as usual. This months box contains 5 products, 3 of them are full size and the other 2 are samples. A great mix of sizes for the price you pay for the subscription. This month, everyone got to pick one of two shades for one of the full sized products which I love. The first product in this months box is exclusive to BirchBox and a full sized product. The Manna Kadar Cosmetics Diamond Dust Roller Shadow was available in the shades Pixie or Enchanted. I went with Pixie due to its pink shimmer. Retailing for £15, this is such a pretty shade and so easy to use. It tra

Sugarpill Cosmetics Trick and Treat Liquid Lipsticks

Image
Hi lovelies, I've got some more Sugarpill for you. These were released a few weeks ago in the U.S and it took another week or so for the fabulous Beauty Bay to get their stock. As you can probably tell by the name, the 2 new shades are Limited Edition Halloween inspired liquid poison. I'm a little annoyed that they are LE because they both looked amazing but once they're gone, they're gone I'm afraid. Both Trick and Treat are available on Beauty Bay for £14 each (see here ) and also Sugarpill's website (see here ). Now the beauty community on IG went absolutely nuts when the promotion images were released and I'm pretty sure that Trick is gone unless you find it in a stockist near you. Both lipsticks are cinnamon scented but this is a synthetic flavour so if you have allergies you can still use it. As always with Sugarpill, both formulas are cruelty free and vegan. As these shades are limited edition, different packaging has been designed especially for

GlossyBox UK November Subscription Review

Image
Hi lovelies, It's a new month, therefore a new GlossyBox UK Subscription box has landed on my doormat. As always this arrived quickly after the subscription of £13 was paid at the beginning of the month. The parcel was tracked and arrived well protected. There are 6 products in the November GlossyBox, 2 of them are full size, 2 are deluxe mini samples and 1 travel size. The 6th extra treat is a perfume sample. I love this mix of product sizes as I don't expect a lot of full sized products for the price I am paying. The first product that I had to try was one that we all got excited about last month when we got the sneak peek. We got a full sized Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shade girlfriend. Excited much. These retail for £18 so this is great value in your box right there. The packaging is suprisingly heavy for a liquid lipstick but is solid. I'm not sure about this particular shade for me or the smell but the formula glides on smoothly and easily. It feels

BirchBox UK October Subscription Review

Image
Hi lovelies, Another subscription box review but I honestly might be cancelling this one because I've not been very impressed so far. The October BirchBox UK came with 6 items this month, 2 of them full sized and the other 4 as samples. I like the design of the box but it's nothing spectacular in all honesty. Plus I haven't seen any more boxes designed by Etsy businesses which is a little disappointing. The first of my products is the Daily Concepts Multi-Functional Charcoal Soap Sponge. For me, this is one the best things in this months box. The sponge on this is quite rough, you really don't need any pressure at all to buff your skin. The charcoal soap smells amazing and when used with the sponge leaves your skin feeling soft and silky. Retails at £6 so I might have to get some another. My second product to try was the amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask.This hair mask smells amazing, is easy to use and easy to wash out. It left my hair feeling super soft after use

Jeffree Star Velour Lip Liners Review

Image
Hi lovelies, Brand NEW product review, I'm talking released last we ek.  Yes I've bought more Jeffree Star and yes I'm going to mention Beauty Bay yet again.  Je ffr ee did do a sneak peek review on his youtube channel about these liners and his new supreme frost range which you can check out here and this is one of the reasons for this purchase. I've always been a waterline eyeliner chick, ALWAYS. But, I've always struggled to find eyeliners that remain on my waterline and not underneath my eye. Turns out, like the velour liquid lipsticks, the lip liners are eye safe and can therefore be used on the waterline. Thanks Jeffree. As always, these were purchased from Beauty Bay (see here ) and retail for £13 each. The lip liners have only been released in certain shades for the launch but they all match with one of the liquid lipsticks. So far, 17 shades have been released with 15 of them currently available on BB. Free UK shipping is available on orders over £15

GlossyBox UK October Subscription Review

Hi lovelies, It's that time of the month again, GlossyBox time. This months box is all about Halloween and they released 2 different designs, a trick and a treat. I got sent the treat edition box, although I'm pretty sure all the products are the same in each. I love the vampy mouth design on the box. Also before I forget, GlossyBox are releasing their FIRST Christmas Advent Calender full of makeup. They go on sale on Monday 15th October and are expected to sell out pretty quickly. They will retail for £99 but it does have a value of £300 and the sneak peeks show products such as Nars and Huda Beauty. Glossies can preorder this NOW with a discount so be sure to sign up if you haven't already. Use my refer a friend code by clicking  here . There's no extra cost but it could save us both pennies. In this months box you get 5 makeup products, 4 of them are full size and the fifth is a deluxe mini skincare product. As always the packaging kept all my products safe du
