My most awaited..

This has to be THAT one product I had been waiting for, for a long long time. I won't be boasting too much about this "product" as you may have already heard so many beauty guru's talking about it.

So here it is; Drum roll.........


TahDahhh! I know I know what you all are thinking but I just had to do it :D. If anyone is looking to buy the ABH Contour Palette then head over to CultBeauty. As they are the only beauty website, as far as I know that have these palettes in stock. :) 


This is a custome made palette so it will mostly suit all skin colours :D which is always a good thing to know as sometimes, we are not sure as to what will look good on us and also match our skin colour. The palette consists of 6 shades. 3 contour shades, a highlight, and 2 setting powders. 

I have also swatched 4 of the shades as the other 2 (setting powders) you can not see on the skin when swatched. So here they are..


Sand is the highlighting shade. It is a very subtle shade and suitable on every skin colour. 
Java, Fawn, Havan are the contouring shades.. 3 different shades for every skin colour and it is perfect if you are an MUA of you just want to play about with those shades. I mean I know I will be using all those shades on my skin :D. Fun times? Who else plays about with makeup??? 


As you can see this palette is magnetic and the powders can be taken out if say you are going on a holiday and do not want to take the whole palette then u can just pick out ur shades and put them in a zpalette and you are good to go & they are magnetic so will stick to the palette and won't move. 


Also tells you the name of the shade on the back, so if like me you don't remember what the name of the certain shade then this is for us ladies :D. 

I have not yet had the chance to play about with palette but when I do I will post pictures on my Instagram. So be sure to follow me :D <3.

Morphe Brushes - Eyeshadows

Sorry gyals for the lack of post but I have been feeling super lazy and just tired. I blame this Scottish weather. It's getting colder :(.


Anyhoo I have been meaning to this for a long long time.. So here goes. People had been raving about these eyeshadows on Instagram & YouTube so thought I would see what all the fuss is about? I finally decided to buy the Morphe Eyeshadows after watching JaclynHill use them in a tutorial. I ordered 20 eyeshadows from their website. The single eyeshadows cost $2 which when you convert into £'s is £1.06 and that's cheap but the postage is a bummer. But I suppose you can't complain. And I guess the postage just depends on the weight of the parcel. For me, well I ordered a large Zpalette & 20 eyeshadows but only got 18 as 2 were out of stock. Took round about a week I believe to get here. And I paid £10 for the postage which I suppose is ok in a way as it's coming from North America and it's First Class. 

I made two separate purchases so I got the other parcel just yesterday so I thought I will do this post after I get the other 9 eyeshadows. So here it is :D. 

How Amazing are the colours?
I loved the idea of getting single eyeshadow so I can open them put them in the Zpalette myself. It's so much fun, I was super excited when I got my parcel. That was over pretty soon, so me being me I ordered more eyeshadows to fill my Zpalette up. How many times have I mentioned the word Zpalette? 

Here are swatches of the eyeshadows. See how pigmented these are? 

Left to Right - ES40, ES6, ES60, ES61, ES63, ES14, ES66, ES5, ES21, ES65, ES56, ES31, ES42, ES58.
Left to Right - ES60, ES52, ES45, ES46, ES35, ES44, ES34, ES37, ES41, ES43, ES19, ES28, ES07
I gave the eyeshadows a try and instantly fell in love with them. Can't believe how crazily pigmented these are? Have you tried them yet? You can really pack the colour on for an intense colourful smokey look. I said colourful because the shades I bought are colourful. And they range from browns to oranges, peaches, pinks, purples, blue, greens and obviously Black. I did two looks using these eyeshadows, they are both bright and intense as I really packed on the colour on my lid. But all in all I love these eyeshadows and would recommended everyone to try them out. The only downside is that all the good ones are out of stock :(. They also sell custom made palettes so like it makes up for the out of stock single eyeshadows. Make sure to check them out. I will leave a link to their website down below :D.

Also done some looks using the Morphe Eyeshadows, will be doing some more real soon.. Stay tuned.. :-*. Follow me on Instagram babies for more makeup looks :D.

Recent Splurges. Part 2

I thought I would split this into 2 parts as it was getting too long :D. Hope you enjoy. 


Next stop Origins at the Frasers. I went into John Lewis and seen the mask I wanted but then decided to leave it and walk down to Space.NK.apothecary because for some damn reason I thought they stock Origins products but found out they don't so had to go to Frasers. Only wanted to buy one mask but came back with all of that ^^^^^. 

The Out of Trouble mask is there if you are having skin problems. Like spots just popping out of nowhere. I have used it once and can say somewhat it actually worked. The spots on my face subsided. GREAT. You can buy this from the Origins website Here.  Boots have a really good offer on at the moment, its their offer of the week so be sure to check it out Right Here. They have a set with 3 masks including this one and 2 others for £23 for the 75ml tubes. That is like a bargain people. 

Bought a Gift set and also the Out Of Trouble mask and got myself some free goodies as I bought two products from Origins. Love me some free goodies to try :D.


Seems like a tonne of stuff. Doesn't it? I got all of this for £63. The Gift set was £40 and the mask was £23. And the free gift along with it. 


This is what I got in the gift set. An overnight Mask which is the green tube and is called the Drink Up Intensive along with that you get a full size of the High-Potency Night-A-Mins, basically it's a rich night time Moisturizer, a travel size of the the GinZing Moisturizer and a miniature size of the GinZing Eye Cream. The little eye cream is amazing because it brightens & depuffs the under eye area. And is an illuminator. A 3-in-1 product. I have yet to try these products so will let you know how I get on with them. Oh BTW these products have such an amazing fresh fruity scent. you can Purchase the gift set from Here. These products are valued in at £68 so getting it for £40 isn't so bad and you are saving over £25.


These are the free goodies that I received after I made the purchase. Again as I said I still have to use these products so will update you all on that soon. So as you can see I got the GinZing Eye Cream again in a tube, along with a face wash and a Soothing Treatment Lotion.

Last but not the least we (meaning Me & my lil bro) went into St Eoch's it's again an indoor centre with shops. We actually went in to get a McD's but since we had Greggs in the morning so didn't feel like having anything. Instead I seen some makeup and was literally pulled towards it. Hahahah. I had heard about this brand but didn't know who stocked it and then I saw it and wanted to buy everything. This is the brand Essence. A German Brand. They are only here for a couple of weeks so if you all want to try it get to Glasgow Town Centre immediately. St Enoch Centre. 


This is what I bought. Some lip liners and they are really good and pigmented along with the blushers. Just Amazing Amamzing Amazing. Also bought a gold EyePencil, a Duo Concealer pot along with a Mascara. I have used both of the blushers and have been absolutely loving them. The Lip liners were only 99P. Yaaaaaaa exactly. All of these products for just under a Fiver. It's a must try all you beautiful people.. <3 


Lip Liner Swatches 

To To Bottom - 06 Satin Mauve, 15 Honey Berry & 14 Femme Fatale

Swatches of the blusher..

Top and Bottom - 60 Life's a cherry & 80 Autumn Peach.

Recent Splurges. Part 1

Know them days when you actually tell yourself to only buy what you need but it never ends that way? Well Kind of happened with me last week. Went to buy one thing but came back with Four bags. Eeeeeeee - yeeeeeeeh.


So the things I really went into town for: 

Liz Earle - Hot Cloth Cleanse (3rd can & still loving it) & 
Nars - Virtual Domination (Cheek Palette)

AND the things I actually came back with along with the top two:

Origins - Out of Trouble Mask; Best of both worlds (Gift Set); Also got a free gift.
Becca - Opal Highlighter
Essence Cosmetics - Lip Liners, Mascara, Gold EyePencil, Concealer Duo & Blushers.

See what happened there. Honestly didn't mean to buy all of this. But I was in need of some new skincare as my skin has been acting up, think its all of the chocolates and fizzy drinks. Dayuum but they so goood. Anyway I guess we all go through phases.

So getting back to the Makeup/Skincare Haul. It consisted of taking my little brother to the Barbers, having Greggs, then going from one side of the town centre to the other. Because if you are familiar with Glasgow's Town Centre you will know that the big Stores like John Lewis, Frasers & Debenhams are at either side of the town, well I mean it isn't that far just a street away but then it can be too much and I get tired easily. hahah. But we did it, I can usually go for long walks and shop about. Well depending on what I want and if it requires going from one side to another then be it. 

I am not going to go into too much detail but here is a little description and images of the products I bought.


The minute I saw this I wanted it. I am absolutely in love with all the holiday palettes I am seeing. And are amazing for the prices. It was £45 now c'mon how can you not? Nars single blush is priced at £22 I think. And the retail price for it all combined comes in at £117. So at £45 it is a bargain and worth buying. You can buy this Here from Space.Nk.apothecary.

The palette itself contains:

3 Blushers - Sex Fantasy (Limited Edition), Deep Throat, Final Cut (Limited Edition)
Highlighter - Miss Liberty
Bronzer - Laguna 



Left - Bronzer Laguna
Top to Bottom - Miss Liberty, Sex Fantasy, Deep Throat, Final Cut.


The second product is also from Space.NK.apothecary from the brand Becca. I had been eyeing it up for a very long time after seeing Jaclyn Hill use it in her videos. They have 3 highlighting shades I believe. I got mines in the shade Opal. It is a very subtle light bronze goldish highlight. Don't know how else to describe it just have a look at it for yourself. How GORGEOUS? Who agrees? £30 for this baby and you can purchase yours Here.



See how gorgeous the Becca Opal Highlighter is? Who else wants this? I also want to add Moonstone, Topaz & Rose Gold to my Collection.
