Zoella & Colour Pop collab Make up range 💄

I’ve really enjoyed Zoe Suggs, ‘Zoella beauty’ ranges for a while now and I got into watching YouTube when I started watching some of her earlier sit down videos, many of which were make up tutorials, so when I saw that she was finally doing a make up collaboration I couldn’t wait to try out some of the pieces.

I love the cute packaging and brunch theme to the whole collection.

Breakfast food is the best food after all!

I chose some of the pieces that I knew I would get a lot of use out of as I haven’t tried any Colour Pop products before so I don’t know what they are like.

I went for the Blusher, Highlighter & one of the liquid eye shadows.

Pressed powder blush ‘Soulmate’

A lovely pink blush.

Pressed powder highlighter ‘Swipe right’

A lovely creamy, gold highlight.

Creme supernova liquid eyeshadow ‘Bellini’

A lovely pinky champagne tone.

They look so pretty on and I have already been using (& loving!) them loads.

I can’t wait for an occasion to wear the eye shadow as it is so pretty. I’m not an every day eyeshadow kind of girl so I’ll be saving this for an occasion.

The highlighter and blusher, on the other hand will, be used daily and are a great addition to an every day make up bag (great staying power, they look good all day)

I also found the prices to be really reasonable too which is great 👍🏻

Blusher & Highlighter ($8/£6) each

Eyeshadow ($7/£5.30) each

Have you tried any of the collection?

Thoughts?!?

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Dior’s New Autumn collection 2018 💄

Last weekend I went into Debenhams, more specifically the Dior counter to see my lovely friend who works there.

She wanted to show me, and try out, some of the amazing products from Dior’s latest Autumn collection.

The collection boasts a wide range of products from lipsticks with a new semi matte formula, highlighters, eye shadow and blushers.

They are all so beautiful and I loved trying them out.

So, let’s take a look at the collection…

The collections are the ‘Dior An Diable’ & The ‘DiorRouge Ultra Rouge’

The An Diable collection includes some eye shadow palettes and some beautiful highlighters.

The Ultra Rouge collection is permenant and includes their new Semi matte lipsticks that last for 12 hours!! Within the lipstick collection they have four reds so you can choose your perfect shade. Who doesn’t love a red lip!

It also includes nail varnishes, the colours have been selected to compliment the other products in the range, this is a brilliant idea.

Everything in these collections is Limited edition except for the blushers and highlighters.

So, what products did I try out?

  • The Blusher is no 219 in the shade Rose Montaigne Shimmer.

This is a lovely kinky toned blush with a lovely shimmer running through it. This added a lovely rosy flush to my cheeks.

  • Highlighter Shade no 02.

This is a beautiful highlighter and it is SO pigmented. It gives you a lovely irredescent glow and is just so pretty.

Like the blushers these are the perfect size for popping into your handbag on the go, I’m not a fan of bulky packaging.

  • Ultra Rouge Lipstick in the shade Rouge 485.

This lipstick was a pretty pink tone. As I said it is semi matte but wasn’t at all tacky and it really did last on my lips.

I also love the lipstick packaging, it looks so sleek.

  • Eyeshadow palette in the shade 837 Devilish.

This eye shadow palette is so pretty. I love the range of colours and it has some perfect Autumn shades for day and night time looks.

Those goldy tones and the rosey, burgundy are just beautiful.

The colour I wore was the pretty and subtle pink shade in the top corner.

Again, a super handy size!

I had so much fun trying all these products out and I will be going back in to Debenhams to purchase a few myself!

The collection is well worth checking out, especially for all you make up and beauty lovers out there!

It’s very reasonably priced for such good quality and high end make up.

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Work Secret Santa 🎅 Blogmas day 19 

This afternoon at work we did our secret santa present exchange! It was lovely to hang out together, do a Christmas quiz, have a laugh & nibbles. I love my present that I received, someone knows me well…

It’s a postcard book version of one of the Harry Potter colouring books. I love the adult colorings books and of course Harry Potter so this is perfect 👌 

These little postcards are so cute so I think I’m going to colour them in and use them as my thank you cards from Christmas. 

Here is one of the pages…

Today In my beauty advent calender…

Today was a lovely dark purple eyeshadow with a lovely shimmer in it. This would be perfect for the party season & to create a lovely smokey eye make up look. 

6 days until Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho

Christmas home haul: Blogmas day 14

As you’ll have guessed by now I love this time of year! So I decided to show you some of the home bits that I have been picking up throughout late November & December so far.
This candle is a lovely frosted matte red colour with snowflake patterns on it.

Inside its silver with the red snowflakes printed on. It’s so pretty ❄

I also picked up this candle holder…

This is like a clear bottle with a gold glitter star on the front. There is a gold frame suspended inside the bottle for a tea light to sit in, super cute! 🌟

These both came from Tiger and were not more than £3 each.

Also from Tiger my lovely friends got me this cute little lantern light. I didn’t technically buy this so I’m unsure of the price.

It’s a lovely ceramic matte lantern with little holes in it. It looks lovely and snowy and when it’s lit it like a starry sky…

I also picked up these little Yankee candle wax melts. I picked these up from a garden centre and I can’t wait to burn these in my wax burner. 

‘Christmas cookie’ is so yummy smelling and smells just like Christmas baking. ‘Strawberry buttercream’ isn’t particularly Christmassy  but it smells sooooo good. I really want to pick up ‘Candy Cane lane’ before Christmas as it is super christmassy & smells so fresh and minty.

& finally Christmas bedding ♡

I love this so much and I can’t wait to put this on closer to Christmas 🎅

I love the pattern, it’s so cute with little Father Christmas’s, penguins & reindeer with little red stars. This comes from Asda and was only £12. 

I love Christmas and these little additioms make me feel even more festive 🌲

What have you guys found for your home to add a touch of Christmas? 

My beauty advent calender…

In today’s window I got a mono eyeshadow in the colour ‘New tral red’. This is quite different to the eyeshadows I have but I think this would go really well with some of the pieces I’ve got for my Christmas make up look so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Ho Ho Ho

Beauty advent calender 🙈

Yup I forgot to include my beauty advent pieces from the last few days! I’m so rubbish at remembering this haha.

So, on Saturday 10th December I got this lovely eyeshadow.

It’s a lovely shimmery creamy colour. This would look lovely all over the lid or with a more dramatic make up look. I wore this on its own today and it looked really nice. 

On Sunday 11th December I got another lipstick and this one is perfect for autumn/Winter time. It’s a gorgeous plum shade which I love (& recently got a lip Liner of, yay!) 

The colour of the packaging made me worry a bit to begin with as it looks like bright purple 🙈 but, when I swatched it I realised it was a lovely plum tone. Thank goodness for that haha.

These are such a good size for your handbag too & the packaging is lovely with the simple goldey/copper writing.

I promise I’ll try & be better at including these at the end of my posts from now on!!

Blogmas day 10: Tanya Burr cosmetics 💋

How are we 10 days in already?!? 

I recently bought some of Tanya’s Burrs make up from her latest ranges and I thought I would show you what I got.

First up, 

The Midnight smoulder palette from her New autumn collection.

The colours in this palette are so beautiful.

From top left to bottom right: Star gazing, endless sky, midnight navy & into the night.

Also from her Autumn collection I grabbed one of her lipsticks. I have wanted to try these for ages and I have got a couple of the colours on my Christmas list but I really wanted her red shade ready for the Christmas party season. They are lovely creme lipsticks and the colours are amazing.

This is the red shade, ‘Big kiss’

Here’s a swatch of the lipstick, it’s a lovely darker red  and is going to look great for my work Christmas meals.

From her Soft Luxe collection I picked up one of her lip glosses that I have seen her use in a few of her videos and really liked the look of it. 

This is in the shade ‘Afternoon tea’  it’s a lovely peachy pink colour.

I also picked up a lip gloss set from her New Christmas collection. I love her Christmas collection this year, it’s got some awesome pieces in it (also on my Christmas list!! Pretty please Santa 🎅)  and the packaging is gorgeous too.

These lip glosses are so pretty, the pink on the left side is called ‘Berry Pavlova’ and the red one is called ‘Candy Cane’  Love that!

I love the icy blues, cute light pink lips all over the packaging & glitter detailing to look like a Christmas bow. 

Here are some swatches…

These are limited edition so I had to grab them whilst they were still in stock as they won’t be available after Christmas.

My final item isn’t Tanya Burr but it’s along the same lines as it’s by her friend Zoella…

This cute make up bag is from Zoellas Tutti Fruitti range which is now being discontinued. I grabbed it for £2 since they’ll be gone soon and it’s such a lovely size for in your handbag. 

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? What would you recommend?

(P.s I stayed at my sisters last night as we are off to Winter Wonderland today so I haven’t opened my advent calender, I will include today’s & tommorrows in Day 11 of Blogmas!)

Maybelline Eyeshadows 👀

Maybelline do some awesome eyeshadows that look amazing, are super pigmented and really long lasting! I thought I would share with you my favourite ones from a couple of their ranges, both powder and creme shadows.

Let’s make a start,
‘The Nudes’ eyeshadow range consists of some lovely palettes with an awesome selection of colours to create so many different looks. I have three palettes from this range.

First up is my favourite…

The Blushed Nudes

This a made up of gorgeous dusky pinks and is just so beautiful 😍 The light Base tones, whites & creams with the pinks are so so pretty. 

We used this palette for the make up on my wedding day, it was perfect 👌 

Here are some swatches of the colours…

Gorgeous pinks 😍🌸🏵🌹

The Nudes

This palette is great for creating the perfect nude look with lovely browns, golds, beiges and creams.

These are great for creating a everyday look or for vamping up a night out look.

Here are the colours in the palette…
And last but not least…

The Rock Nudes

These are such cool colours and great for creating an awesome night out look!

This palette has some great base colours, grungy browns/blacks and sparkly glitters.

I love the navy blue and black sparkly ones.

There are a couple more palettes from this collection, ‘The Brights’…

‘The Graffiti Nudes’…

And, ‘The Smokes’…

I can’t wait to get my hands on these ones too!!
Maybelline also have a range of ‘Colour tattoo 24hr’ eyeshadows. These are a creme formula and are amazing 😀

I have two shades from this range so far Pink Gold & On and on bronze. They are gorgeous!! Here’s a swatch…

These are great for this season with their metallic look and the bronze shade is especially great for Autumn/Winter time. The pink gold colour is so pretty, I LOVE pinks and this one is amazing.

These eyeshadows are so versatile, super pigmented and long lasting. They are great for sweeping across the lid on their own or blended with other colours to create different looks. 

I would defiantly recommend all of these products for their affordability, versatility, quality and variety 👌

What eyeshadow products would you recommend?

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

      Today’s make up look 💄

      I thought I would share today’s make up look! It’s quite a low key look, focusing on the eyes 👀

      I apologise if the pictures aren’t great but I’m in the process of getting a new phone 🙂

      Disclaimer: I don’t claim to be good at applying make up, this is still relatively new to me but I’m really enjoying it and I love applying it all and trying  out different looks! 

      I’ll list the products I used for each part of the look.
      So here it is…

      So, I started off by moisturising using my Olay Beauty Fluid. I apply this all over the face and rub it in.

      Next up I applied my illuminator. I used Sleek Make ups Barekissed illuninator in the shade ‘Casablanca’. I applied this using a beauty blender.

      It gives my skin a lovely glow.

      Next up I applied my foundation layer, for a lighter finish today I used my BB cream. The BB cream I used is The body shop All-in-one BB cream Shade no 2.

      After foundation I applied Concealer. I applied this under my eyes to hide any dark circles and on any spots or blemishes. I used a beauty blender to apply both my BB cream & Concealor.

      The concealer I used was Collections lasting perfection concealor in shade no 2 ‘Cool medium’.

      After concealor I did my blusher & highlighter 👑

      I used Bourjois Paris blusher in shade 74 ‘Rose Ambre’. The highlighter I used is by Revolution and is one of their baked highlighters.

      Eyes!

      I used a mix of palettes for this, I’ll pop a list below.

      Before applying eyeshadow I use a primer, I would definatly recommend this as it makes the eyeshadow apply better & last longer. The primer I used was by Revolution, Focus & Fix eye primer.

      I used a pale pink for the base, a shimmery pink in the crease, a dark brown/grey tone for the outer corner of the eye, a cream tone for the inner corners and a dark burgundy to add definition at the corners & under the lower lash line.

      Palettes used…

      • Revolutions Redemption palette Iconic 3
      • Maybellines The blushed nudes
      • Barry Ms Super Natural Eyeshadow palette Superdrug exclusive. 

      The Mascara I used is Dior’s ‘Diorshow’ Mascara in black.

      Next up eyebrows…

      I get my eyebrows threaded and tinted so all I do is shape and fill them using my Maybelline brow satin in the shade ‘Medium brown’. I will be featuring this in my next Beauty haul blog but I would definatly recommend giving this product a go.

      Finally, lips 💄 I love liquid lipsticks but this time I went for a lipstick with a matte finish.

      This is a MAC lipstick in shade ‘Pink plaid’. I got this from duty free on my recent holiday & I love this pinky tone. Pinks are defiantly my favourite when it comes to most make up items 🌸🌹

      I used my Revolution Pro fix Oil control Fixing Spray at the end to make the make up last longer.

      Here’s the final look 🙂 

      If you have any questions about the products I used let me know and I’ll try my best to answer them 👍

      Until next time,

      Roseanne 🙂
