Review: Poundland Makeup Brush!


I am always on the look out for a great makeup brush, one that is soft and enables me to create the makeup looks I desire. Finding affordable makeup brushes can be a mundane task that is trial and error, I stumbled upon a makeup brush in Poundland where I was initially attracted to the packaging like many of us are! So the real test was the makeup....

This is a blusher brush, I used it for both blusher, bronzer and to contour. I adore this brush, it is super soft and picks up product very well without it spilling all over the place as some brushes have in the past. This brush feels like a MAC brush, it helped me create a subtle contour, a bronzed all over look and a rosy cheek. I am so happy with this brush and for only £1!!!

One thing you can't get away from is the pretty pink and white brush! How cute is this ombre look! It looks so good on any dressing table.

Review: Topshop Eyeshadow....

If you follow me on Twitter then you may have seen me asking around for a metallic deep red eyeshadow. I got some great recommendations and in the end went with the Topshop eyeshadow in Explorer, a stunning deep red almost purple metallic shade, this shade is beautiful and a shade I have not seen elsewhere.

This shade is a gorgeous matte shade with a metallic sheen, it applies well and lasts a good length of time, especially when applied with a little water as it goes super metallic and creates more of a dramatic look. This shadow would look perfect with gold and particularly suit brown and blue eyes. The colour looks exactly like it does within the packaging when applied on the lid, as I find some shadows can be quite different but luckily you get what you see with this product. The pigmentation is just as you would want from an eyeshadow, a deep intense colour that doesn't need a lot of application to get the pigment to show.

I am going to be using this shade in a Youtube video so you can see the look on my channel, link to my channel is on my homepage.
