Testing I Heart Makeup palette


Hi guys today I going to be testing out and doing a tutorial on the I Heart Make up Chocolate Orange palette. I've never tried any of their eye shadow palettes before and I was intrigued to see if they are any good and do they really smell like chocolate!?

I picked the chocolate orange palette because this is one of my favourite type of chocolate and smells and I love the colours in this palette too. Firstly I've got to mention it actually does smell like chocolate oranges but its just not a very intense smell compared to the Too Faced palettes. For this eye look I started using the shade Silky Smooth in my crease and blending that upwards using a Blank Canvas Cosmetics E32 brush. This gives the impression that your eyes look bigger. I then used the Peel shade lower down in my crease using that the Blank Canvas Cosmetics E42. Then I took a more precise Spectrum A12 brush and placed the shade Dessert on the outer corners of my eyes to darken up the edges. I then finally took the shade Gift and placed that all over the centre of my lids using my finger to get maximise pigmentation pay out. I placed the two crease shades also along my lower lash line using a Real Techniques smudge eye brush. I then highlighted my inner corners and brow bone with the shade Its Mine.
This is the finished look here to the right I really love this look and it can be turned into a super glam look just by simply adding lashes or a deeper lip shade.
 I'm literally now obsessed with this palette. The shades had the smallest amount of fallout I've ever seen in a drugstore brand which I'm super impressed by and the shades have amazing rich pigmentation too. These shadows also have a smooth texture which makes applying these shades easier to work with. This palette is such a win in my books and it's only €12.89 too! I will definitely be trying out some of their other palettes too in the future.

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea

Testing make up brushes from Lidl?!

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Miomare professional cosmetic brush set from Lidl. I was in Lidl last week and saw these. They were only €5 and I thought they would make an interesting blog post. This is an eight piece set that includes a powder brush, a blush brush, an eye shadow brush, a mascara wand, a lip brush, an eyeliner brush, an eye shadow applicator and  a brush roll . All the brushes are 100% synthetic. There were a few different colours of the brush rolls but I just got the black faux leather one. I was testing these brushes out over the weekend and I have some mixed feeling about them. My favourite brushes in this set are the powder and the blush blushes. I also really like the mascara wand. However I didn't enjoy the rest of the brushes. The eyeshadow brush did not apply product on my eyelid very well. The eyeshadow applicator, eyeliner and lip brushes weren't very useful for me. I don't usually use these tools when applying my make up anyway
