First impressions: Carter Beauty Zodiac palettes

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be testing out the brand new palettes from Carter Beauty. I haven't tried this brand before but I have heard a lot of good reviews. They just launched the Zodiac Collection which includes two palettes and a few pairs of eyelashes. I don't have the lashes to try out but I do have both of the palettes. I was drawn to these when I saw them swatched on the Carter Beauty Instagram stories. The pigmentation looked incredible. I ordered these off the Cara Pharmacy website which I will leave a link to down below. The palettes are called the Zodiac palette and the Saturn palette. Each palette has three eyeshadow shades and then a contour, highlight and blush shade. Initially I thought that these palettes looked quite similar to one another however as you can tell from the swatches they are a little different. The Zodaic palette shades weren't as impressive as the Saturn palette shades. The Saturn eyeshadows are so unlike any formula I have ever tried before. They are as smooth as butter and they are so pigmented with glitter reflects. I must say I was very impressed with the Saturn palette and I do like the Zodiac palette as well. However the highlighter does crumble and it's not the most blinding highlighter I have ever used. Overall I do like these palettes and I think for the price they are impressive. I would recommend checking out this brand and supporting Irish make up brands.

Vieve Modern Matte Lipstick

 Hi and happy Sunday! I recently picked up the 'Vieve Modern Matte Lipstick' in the shade Comin' in Haute and I wanted to share my thoughts. I really found it difficult to decide which colour to purchase but I decided to go with this shade first. There are five other nude shades available in this range. I think the packaging of this product is incredible and it looks a lot more expensive than it is. Also it has a magnetic closure on the lid and I think that adds even more to the product. Besides from the packaging this lipstick is in a matte finish and lasts a long time. It feels comfortable on the lipstick and isn't drying. Jamie Genevieve did a wonderful job. Even though we all aren't wearing as much lipstick as we were before Covid it's still nice to find a good one to add to our make up collections.  Available at:  https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/vieve-modern-matte-lipstick.html?variant_id=30363 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4rEMBv5wF3CDYwTUEBqcXg?...

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 ...
