Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick in 5 Divine Mahogany
£21
I received this (almost) free with a deal from the Daily mail, I wish I'd been sent a different colour though, this was far too dark to suit my skin tone. Other than the shade this is great! It's super pigmented any very rich in colour but unfortunatly the colour bleeds so i'd avise using lip liner first to prevent this.

It's pretty difficult for me to get hold of NYX stuff in Britain without ordering ubt i came across a place neary which sells a couple of their products and my sister bought this for me as one of my Christmas present (so happy!) It's basically a cream eyeshadow that's supper glittery, it

Rimmel London smokey Glam palette 001
I got the free when i spent over £10 at Boots just before Christmas, pretty cute :) I don't think they're offering it anymore so i'm glad i got it when i could! I've only used the eyeshadows so far but they're good, just like any other rimmel eyeshadows.

NYC Metro Quartet eyeshadow, includes Swatches

NYC metro quartet in Chelsea Chic.£3.99 at Superdrug

I saw this palette at Superdrug and thought it was sooo cute! I got it 3 for 2 with the collection 2000 palettes. I admit i haven't really used this much, it's quality isn't amazing but it was fun to buy! I do love the brush that comes with it, it's really tiny but it's double ended, one end is a sponge applicator and the other is a brush for blender. It's a cute item to own but i really don't think it's something I'd exactly recommend.
