Yves Saint Laurent Lip Twin Duo Satin/shine in 07 plum harmony        £23.00 I was sooo happy when i got this for my birthday fro my parents but unfortunately when i opened it i found that it had already been opened and there was a nail marking through one of the colours :( I wanted to return it but my parents didn't want to go all the way back to the store so I've kept it, and i love it!

My last tutorial didn't go that great so I'm trying to do another with Katy Perry's look for the If we ever meet again video.  Read more after the jump! I Love her metallic eyes and lips in this video, and her foundation looks flawless.(wish i could get it right!)  I used several product when i had a go at recreating her look but i think you can use various alternatives that may

I thought I'd show the eyeshadow i used for the "happier" tutorial so here it is! :)  Avon's true colour eyeshadow single in chestnut - It costs £5.00 but the thing i love about Avon is they always have offers of some sort so if you want to buy this but don't need in urgently then i'd suggest you wait and soon enough it'll be on sale!  I don't LOVe this but it's good enough, it has a nice silky

I'm a huge fan of a fine frenzy and if you haven't heard her music you seriously have to! It's gonna be pretty difficult but i thought i'd do a tutorial to recreate her look in her latest music video, happier. So here goes... Use liquid foundation over you face and set it in with a bit powder foundation, but make sure you don't go too heavy with it, you want this look to look very

I'm going to take requests for reviews of cosmetics so please comment below if there are any beuaty products you would like me to do a review about. I can't do certain products because they're too expensive or i can't get hold of them so sorry if i cannot do your request. I'm not currently doing nail polish or perfume requests and i probably can't do mascara reviews either but please comment

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.

Morning, Noon and Knight eye brush set from MAC's Magic Mirth and Mischief collection This costs about £40 and there's no way i could afford it myself but this is what my elder sister bought for me for Christmas (thanks to her!) It comes with 5 brushes ; *A Lash brush (204) * A small angel brush (266) * A tapered blending brush (224) * 194 n(I'm not sure what one this is!) * A medium angled

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 stays on pretty well and i prefer to dab it on my eyelids rather than use the sponge applicators given with,

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.

Barry M Dazzle Dusts each £4.50 at Boots and Superdrug A bit of a random post, I've had these for a while got a new one this Christmas I really love the huge selection of colours Barry M has for these and how they're a mix of powder eyeshadow and glitter, so the colour's not too intense but if you want it to be I advise applying it wet. The only thing with these is they hurt if  any of the

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

Collection 2000 angelic eye palette swatches and reveiw. These are £3.99 at Superdrug The swatch pictures aren't of great quality but I hope you can see them well enough.  I didn't like this palette quite as much as the poptastic one because the colours aren't as pigmented but the shades are very pretty. As with the poptastic one this is very messy. what i like about it is how "useful"

When i first used this i didn't really like it much, the eyeshadow was super crumbly and very messy to apply but I've since come to love it! I wouldn't advise using the sponge applicator that comes with it, I'd use a brush and
