Seventeen Cosmetics Makeup Review

So today i have another cheap drugstore brand review for you and today's brand is seventeen. Seventeen can only be found in boots and is fairly cheap. Since i have brought any think from the brand they have had a little bit of a revamp, they used to be called 17 and now they have changed it to Seventeen, so only a small change, but some of my products might look a little bit different to the products in store.

Eyeliners
Pencil eyeliners - The top one is black and the bottom one is purple. Both of these are very pigmented and creamy, they are great for the lash line but not so great for the waterline. I actually don't use these much any more, but i remember them been very nice pencils and i think they are only like £2.99 which is great.

Glitter liquid liners - I got these in a Christmas set years ago and i have never really used them, but for glitter liners they are actually very pigmented and stay on for a long time. I think there was some others in the set as well but i think i got rid of them.

Eye shadow
The eye shadows are all very pigmented but can be a bit powdery. I got all of these ages ago so i don't think they are available any more apart from maybe the single eye shadows. I don't really use this much anymore but i can tell you they are very nice but since the brand has been revamped they might be a bit better.

Nail polish 
The nail polish has got to be my favorite thing that seventeen do, they are very pigmented and the brush is really nice. The three on the top are from a Christmas set but the other four you can get in boots. I have two fast finish polishes one is a red which is called knock out red and a bluey green duo-crome in the shade sulk.
I also have two lasting fix polishes, a purple one called Chateaux and a shimmery coral colour called Tropical Island. I really like these nail polishes and at only £2,99 they are a bargain.

Seventeen also do a lot of other products like blushers, foundations, concealers, mascaras and a lot more which are all meant to be very good. I would say that this brand would be good for any teenagers or any one who is just starting out in makeup and want to try some decent stuff.

Top 5 Makeup Products Under £5

Hello everyone so today i am going to be showing you my top 5 makeup products under £5 i hope you enjoy.

Collection Lock and Hold lip gloss in Body Pop
This is such a lovely lip gloss, its not sticky at all and it is a beautiful colour. Its a light baby pink colour with blue under tones and it has no shimmer in it. It looks really nice over a lot of lipsticks and even by its self. For £2.99 these lip glosses are lovely, i think there is five other shades and i really need to pick them up.

Collection Work the Colour eye shadow pencil in Hot Chocolate
You guys should now by now how much i love these bad boys especially this colour. I have three of the six shades and i must say they are lovely, they are very pigmented and creamy and last a very long time. They are nice all over the lid but they can go a little patchy, but after a few coats and some eye shadow over the top they look fine. For £3.19 they are a bargain and they are a good dupe for the NYX jumbo eye pencils, if you haven't already tried these you have to. I have done a full review of these here

MUA single eye shadows
I have a few of these and they are all lovely especially this brown one in pearl shade 11. They have two different types pearl which are shimmery and matte which are obviously matte, i have only tried the pearl ones so i cant tell you any think about the matte ones. They are very pigmented and very creamy, they can be a little powdery but i can live with that. For £1 these are amazing and if you haven't tried any you have to.

MUA Undress your skin Shimmer Highlighter
Highlighters are a product that the drugstore dosent really have many of, so when i saw this come out a few months ago i had to pick it up and lets just say im glad i did. The packaging has broken which is very annoying but i can live with it. It is 100% a highlighter for pale skin so if you have darker skin i would stay away from this. It is a pink highlighter with a hint of blue shimmer in it (so its a blue toned pink). Its very pigmented and looks lovely on the cheeks. As you can see they product its self looks very expensive as it has a wave texture to it (like the MAC ones) and it is only £3. If you have pale skin you should get this.

Maybelline colour tattoo
I'm sure almost everyone has one of these, they are such a lovely product. They are very creamy and go on to the lid like a dream. They last a very long time especially when your wearing a primer and eye shadow over the top. This colour is pink gold and its actually the only colour tattoo i have and now i have tried it i want more. For £4.99 they are a bargain and eBay do a few of them for even cheaper (which is were i got mine). If you haven't tried these were have you been.

Whats your favorite product under £5 ??

Collection Cosmetics Review

Hello everyone so this is another post reviewing some products from cheap drugstore brands, today i am reviewing the very well known Collection, there products are very cheap i don't think there is any think over £10 (i maybe wrong).

Eye Pencil products 

Work the Colour Eye Shadow pencils (review)
These are pretty new to the brand and i must say they are very good, very creamy and very bendable. They are water proof so the stay in the waterline all day. They can be a little patchy if you put them all over the lid but once u you have put a few layers on and you have an eye shadow over the top they are lovely. I have reviewed these if you would like to know more.

Intense colour super soft kohl 
I used to use this all of the time, but then i found gel liner and then i found the brown work the colour eye shadow pencil. But this is very creamy and very pigmented, it goes on very smoothly but it does smudge if you put it in the water line. This very lovely and if you are looking for a good eyeliner i 100% recommend this.

Eye shadow, mascara and concealer

Skyscraper mascara
(i think it has a new name). I actually got this from poundland a while ago because i thought was a bargain and i thought i would just give it ago, i used to use it lot but i actually haven't used it in a while now. I don't think its the best mascara in the world but its okay, i would say its more of a lengthening mascara than a volumising one. It has an interesting brush, its plastic and it has shorter bristles on one side then on the other side they are longer (picture).

Colour intense trio eye shadow pallet
I got a pack of two of these from poundlad ages ago and i thought they were really good so i decided to get another which was from fragrancedirect.com. They are very pigmented but they are very powdery. They all have lovely colours and i really enjoy using them. The packaging is very cheap looking but i can get over that. I don't think they sell these in store any more.

Lasting perfection concealer
This is probably collections most famous product, i bet almost every beauty blogger/vlogger has this or has tried it. It gets so much hype online, and i must say i do go along with the hype. It a very high coverage concealer but can go a bit cakey. I would say its best to put this on spots and redness and not under your eyes as it can crease and go very cakey there.

Lip products

Lock and Hold Lip gloss
I love this lip gloss, its a beautiful blue toned barbie pink colour that is very pigmented and very glossy, its not sticky at all which is a bonus. They only have four colours of this lip gloss and the other ones aren't that nice, i would say this and the nude one are the only nice colours, im just not drawn to the other ones.

Cream Puff moisturising lip cream
The first thing i must say about this is that it is not at all moisturisng, its very creamy as soon as you put it on, but by the time it has dried, your lips feel so dry and almost hard. There not that long lasting i would say around 2-3 hours. Again like the lip gloss these only come in four shades and these two are the brightest the other two are nude colours.

Pure Gloss lip gloss
I brought this years ago and i think they have repackaged and reformulated them. This is a pink colour with shimmer and a bit of glitter in it. I actually don't really use this so i cant really tell you any more about it.

Nail polish

Hot looks fast dry nail polish
These are only like £1.99 and that's really good for these as they are very good. They have a very good size brush you can do your whole nail in about two swipes and your little finger in one. I have these two really lovely colours and i think i might have to get a few more ( they have changed the packaging)

Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara and eye shadow paint - Reiview

Rimmel Scandaleyes eye shadow paint in Rich Russet 
Lots of people have been saying how good and long lasting these are, so of course i had to pick one up. There is five different colours in the collection, there is a gold, purple, silver, gray and the one i have which is a brown colour. It has a do-fut applicator which is very soft and makes it easy to apply the product. This drys very fast so you have work with it very fast. I put some all over my lid then blend it in with my finger. I apply a primer first and an eye shadow over the top to keep it in into place. It stays there all day and doesn't crease. It is a beautiful brown colour with shimmer in it. I really like using it and i think i might have to go back and get the gold colour.

Rimmel Scandaleyes retro glam mascara
I wanted to try a new mascara so when i saw this new one from Rimmel i thought i would pick it up and give it ago. I have used it a few times and i really like it, although it isn't that different from the original one, i think the formula is the same and the only difference is that the brush has a curve in it. Apart from that its really lovely. Its both lengthening and volumising and it makes my eyelashes look lovely. But i would say if you have the original scandaleyes mascara you don't need this one as well.

Natural Collection Cosmetics - Review

Hello everyone, so today i am going to be reviewing some of the Natural Collection cosmetics. This is brand is soo cheap, every product is under £2 and most of the time there is a three for £5 offer on. Natural Collection can only be found in boots and on boots.com. Natural collection make makeup products, body sprays and body care, today i will be talking about the makeup.

Pressed Face powder and blushed cheeks blushers £1.99
Powder products are what i think natural collection do the best, especially there blushers, they are so pigmented and very soft, they are slightly powdery but that is expected. There are four colours and they are all lovely and none of them have any shimmer in them, they are totally matte. This one i have is in the colour Pink Cloud, its a lovely baby pink colour that looks great on my pale skin. I have tried every colour and they are all lovely i would definitely recommend them.
This face powder is actually that first face powder i have brought and i would say it is pretty good, again it is very powdery but very good at mattifying the face and setting makeup, although it doesn't last all day, i would say around 3-4 hours, its great but i dont think i would buy it again.

Eye shadow singles £1.79 and duos £1.99
As i said before powder products are what natural collection do the best and that also includes the eye shadows. I used to use these all of the time when i was at school but i haven't actually used them in a long time and i really need to as they are really nice. Again they are very powdery but they are also very pigmented and very soft. Both of the single shadows that i have are matte, the dark bown one is called Milk Chocolate and that is a lovely colour to put in the crease. The lighter one is called Butterscotch this is perfect as an all over the lid colour and as a highlight.
The duo on the left is called Mocha/Latte, both colours are matte and it looks great when you put the lighter colour all over the lid and the darker colour in the crease, i also like to use the darker colour in my eye bows. The duo on the right is called Mink/Sable, the light brown colour has a little bit of shimmer in it but the light colour is matte this is a lovely duo and the colours go great together.

Nail polish £1.89 
This is the only nail polish i have by them and the only one i have tried. This one is a little sheer and needs about 3-4 coats, the formula is okay and it lasts about 3 days on the nails. This colour is called Antique Coral, its a lovely coral colour with very fine glitter in it. Its okay but i dont know if i would buy any more.

Natural collections makeup line also includes a foundation which i have tried and it is terrible, Some mascaras which i haven't tired but are meant to be quite good, Stick concealers, regular concealer which i have tried and its not that good, bronzers ,loose powders, lip glosses which i have tried and really don't like, lipsticks which i haven't tried but are meant to be good and maybe a few more products.
Some of these products are great and if you are starting out in makeup i would recommend them to you highly.

Collection Work the Colour Eyeshadow Pencil - Review

I was in superdrug the other week just having a look at the makeup and i came across these the Collection Work the Colour Eyeshadow Pencils. I just brought the one to see what it was like, i used it the next day and i loved it so much that i decided i wanted them all. There are six colours in the collection they are all shimmery and very lovely colours, there is a brown, pink, champagne, black, gray and navy. I actually have another which i actually brought after i took these pictures so sorry about that.
The brown colour that i have is called Hot Chocolate, its a very creamy consistency with a bit of shimmer. Like all of them it is very very pigmented and go on like a dream. They are great blended all over the lid or even in the waterline, that's how i have been wearing this brown colour, using it instead of my usual harsh black. It stays in the water line all day and it doesn't smudge. If you want to try the NYX  jumbo eye pencil but cant get your hands on them, then give these a go i think they are brilliant dupes.
Especially this pink colour, i always here American beauty YouTubers go on about the NYX jumbo eye pencil in yogurt which i actually own and this pink colour Vintage Blush is an amazing dupe for it, the collection one is slightly lighter and the NYX is slightly more bronzey, but other than that they are more or less the same product. Just like the brown one this is very pigmented and very creamy, i have been wearing this all over the lid with a powder to set it, i haven't used it with out a shadow on top so i don't now if they crease or not with out, they can go a bit patchy all over the lid so that why i put a shadow on top. This is a lovely pink bronzey colour and i really like it. The other colour i have which i didn't picture is Vanilla Sky its a lovely creamy champagne colour that is a lovely inner corner and brow bone high light. They are only £3.19 and i would recomend you giving them ago.

MUA Makeup Academy Cosmetics

Hello everyone hope you are all well, today's post is going to be all about the brand Makeup Academy MUA, im sure you have all heard of this brand before as there products are very cheap and very good for the price. They have one line where all of the products just cost £1 :o and they also have a professional line which i believe everything is under £6.You can get MUA cosmetics in superdrug and on the MUA website.

Nail polish £1
These nail polish bottles have recently been repackaged and they look so much better then they used to, they do look like Essie bottles but oh well. For just £1 these nail polishes are so good they are all very pigmented and only take 2-3 coats to get a lovely opaque look. They last a good amount of time on the nails, i would say around 4 days before any chips start to appear. The colours i have are (left to right) moody mink, natural days and frozen yogurt, these colours are all very lovely and i don't own any other colours like them in my collection. If you haven't tried these nail polishes you have to as they are brilliant for the price.
I do also have one of the fur effect pots and i have never used, have no idea why i brought it in the first place.

Lip products, lipstick £1, lip gloss £2.50
The MUA lipsticks are so good they are very pigmented and creamy and look lovely on the lips. This lipstick was one of first products i brought from MUA, which was about this time last year for my prom. The one i have is a nude colour i don't know what the colour is a its rubbed of, but it is a lovely nude colour that's not to light or to pale and looks great on my skin tone.
I really wanted a coral colour lip gloss so i when i saw this i thought i would pick it up and give it ago, i used it once and i really liked it but thought out the day it started to wear and that horrible thing happened when it gathers in one place and goes all funny, and because that happened i haven't used it again, i wouldn't recommend these lip glosses but im sure they do some other good ones.

Eye shadows  £1
These single eye shadows are very good, they are very pigmented and creamy and go on to the lid like a dream, obviously they are not as good as MAC or Urban Decay but they are good if you are just starting out in makeup, or if you just don't want to spend a bomb. The MUA eye shadow pallets are also meant to be very good, but i haven't tried one of those for some crazy reason. The shades i have are (from left to right) shade 11, 1, 2 and 5, and they all have a pearl finish. If you are wondering why i have a green eye shadow it is because i got if for free with a magazine and i just haven't got rid of it just in case if i ever need it.

Undress your skin shimmer highlighter £3
This is the only face product i own by MUA, well until yesterday when i brought one of their new blushers, which by the way is really nice. Something that the high street really needs more of is highlighters, so when i found out MUA were bringing one out of course i had to pick it up. At first i wasn't that impressed but now i have been using it for a few months i have been really liking it. Its a lovely pearly pink colour that's looks lovely on the cheek bones, it is very light though so this wouldn't be any good for someone who has dark skin, but however if you have light skin this is perfect for you.

Mascara and eye liner £1
These two products aren't looking their best sorry. I use this not so clear mascara to set my eyebrows into place, its not the best but it does the job. The eyeliner is in snow white, i brought this ages ago just because i wanted to try a white eyeliner out in my water line (didn't like it), but i have used it a lot to highlight my brow bone or for a snow queen themed makeup that i am doing at college and it has in very handy.

If you haven't tried any MUA products then you have to they are very cheap and i would highly recommend them.

Whats you favorite MUA product ??

sleek shangri-la respect pallet review

Hello everyone

 Today I'm doing a review on the new sleek shangri-la respect pallet, hope you enjoy.

Top row of shadows

Bottom row of shadows

I love sleek eyesadow pallets there only £7.99 and the colours are really pigmented, i want them all, but i have decided when ever a new collection comes out i will buy one of the pallets that i like.

In the new collection Shangri-la there are two pallets and two matte lip glosses.

Out of the two pallets in the collection i thought that this one was nicer as it has more wearable colours in it, the other pallet is blue toned and i don't tent to wear blue eye shadow.

This pallet is really lovely, i would say that my favourite colour is the shimmery brown colour (top row second from left) it a nice shade to put all over the lid or to put into the crease.

In this pallet most of the colours are very pigmented apart form a few of the lighter colours which is very disappointing, as you can see from the swatches about 3 colours have no colour to them at all, which is really not like sleek.

Apart from that all the other colours are great and nicely pigmented, all in all i do love this pallet, and i would defo recommend it to you.

Tell me what your favourite sleek product is i would love to know.

It you have any post requests please let me know.

Thank you for reading and please follow

Collection 2000 Hot looks Nail Polish in Button Moon - Review

Collection 2000 hot looks nail polish in Button Moon.
This nail polish is really nice, its a baby blue colour, the colour payoff is very good you only need two coats and it lasts a long time on your nail, it lasted about 4-5 days on mine.
I did have a picture of this on my actual nails but my brother deleted all of the pictures on my phone, i actually almost killed him lol.
Anyway so these are the only pics i have, i decided to paint the polish on the nail wheel which i recently got from eBay for like £2, because my nails have started chipping and i didn't think you want to see chipped nails.

I'm using a blogger app on my phone so i don't know what its going to be like but i hope its okay, the pictures my be a little blurry but I'm not sure if it is im sorry i hope you can still see it okay.

Thanks for reading and please follow
