It's like a miracle


This post is gonna be about this little baby I recently discovered! Its the 'Herbal Essences Split End Protection Cream'. This product has made my hair so smooth and soft and luscious I love it so much. My hair feels so much stronger and there are no split ends! It looks like when you go to the hairdressers and come out with smooth beautiful ends hair. This does the trick perfectly and is priced at £4.99 in Boots, bargain for a product this good! I apply to my wet hair but it also can be applied to dry but I haven't tried that yet!

MUA £1 Cosmetics

So I decided to venture into buying some MUA products 'cos at the end of the day what could go wrong at everything priced at £1! Everyone had highly raved about the products so my hopes were high and I must say I'm highly impressed! All items were purchased from Superdrug stores :)

Eyeshadows
The eyeshadows come in two different finishes Matt and Pearl. It can sometimes be hard to find Matt shade in the drugstore so that is a great start! I purchased some of the more neutral colors the pigmentation is incredible they are well, well worth the £1 you pay!
Shade 12- Pearl
Shade 19- Matt
Shade 16- Matt
Shade 2- Pearl
Shade 1- Pearl

So they're all the shades in the pan! Here are some swatches:




Lipsticks
 Again the lipsticks are incredible. I went a bit crazy and bought some colors I wouldn't normally wear just for the fun of it as they are only £1! They're amazingly pigmented and yet so so moisturizing you don't even have to wear a balm with them! Extremely impressive.

Now here are some swatches! :




Blush
I only  purchased one blusher but yet again I am impressed with the product! It's such a pretty blue toned pink color perfect for the colder seasons upon us! It also contains a bit of shimmer and is very easily blended.






Pressed Powder
If I'm honest theirs nothing amazingly special about this powder. It's pretty standard but does keep the make up on all day and set it nicely! It works theirs just nothing too special about it and it has a strong aroma of granny perfume ! But if your just looking for a pressed powder to keep the make up on all day then go ahead and buy it :)


Glitter Eyeliner

This is probably one of the products I was most impressed with! These glitter liners are heavenly! I bought the gold as it's one of the trends for this season. The glitter isn't sparse at all and the sparkles are incredible, a truly 100% lovely product! 

Lipgloss

The lipgloss isn't ridiculously pigmented but does the job! I have been wearing this quite a lot as I love the glossiness of it and the smell is so heavenly! It smells of all the sweetest things you could possibly imagine!

Sleek Cosmetics


I've always loved Sleek's palettes. Recently I ventured into some other items and I am exceedingly impressed! At such cheap prices there cosmetics are touching high end quality.
First off a Blush in the color 'Rose Gold'
 This blush is utterly gorgeous at such high pigmentation it is well worth the small £3.99 you pay for it. I'm not sure but I think this blush may be limited addition. It's a gorgeous corally rosy color with gold running through it. Reminds me so much of the quality of a mineralize blush by MAC.
Here is a direct swatch from the blush, you can see the gorgeous gradient of color in this photo.
Here is a swatch onto my arm. The color is just too gorgeous to describe and the camera is not giving it justice! I could not recommenced this product anymore!

GLO Face and Body Highlighter in 'Peach Shimmer'



This product here is a highlighter for the face and body. I'd recommenced it for the cheek bones and the collar bone. The brush is surprisingly not too scratchy so could be used to touch ups throughout the day. The product itself is lovely! Comes out a lovely peachy gold color. You can swipe your brush through all 5 shimmer strips or just one for a desired highlight color. You could even use them as eyeshadow's! A very versatile product.
Here is a swatch of the color. It's such a gorgeous peachy gold I think this would look lovely on tanned skin even though I am very pale at an NC15! Priced at £4.99.

Pout Polish/Tinted Lip Conditioner in 'Powder Pink'
So here is the gorgeous color in the pot. It is in fact a little bit pinker toned then it is here but this is pretty true to color! It's scented with vanilla which is my all time favorite sent so definite thumbs up there! It has brilliant color pay off on the lip considering it's like a lip balm. It looks like your wearing a very moisturizing lipstick.
Here is a swatch of the product it may look like it's glittery but it actually contains no glitter and that's just how it glistens in the light! Which really proves how moisturizing it is. Priced at £3.99

Kajal Eyeliner in 'Nocturnal' 
 This is an eyeliner that's meant to line your waterline and tightline at the same time! You place it at the tear duct then close your eye and pull it though. It's a very creamy eyeliner and a nice intense black. It does not pull at the skin at all! 
You can kinda see how creamy it is here! A genuinely brilliant eyeliner at a lovely price of £4.99.

Oh H&M

Whilst in H&M yesterday I came across these four absolutely gorgeous rings! I have seen similer styles to all these rings sold separately in Topshop for roughly £8 each! These came together in a set for a nifty £5.99!
Here are photos of each of the rings:
 In the form of a Badger

A Reindeer

An Owl

The final one is a Rabbit!

I think you'll agree these are absolutely gorgeous rings at such a reasonable price! Unfortunately they do not have them on the H&M website but they do have some other gorgeous pieces on there: http://shop.hm.com/

So many shoes so little time!

Earlier on I was having a browse through the Topshop website and came across some pairs of some of the most gorgeous shoes I've ever laid eyes upon!
The first pair that caught my eye were these babies!




I love the take on these shoes there that beigey browny color that's the trend for this season! There sort of a none fur moccasin/clog style shoe with a heal and some studs! I love them the color on the website is called chestnut and they are priced at £60.00.


Next were these 'Polar fur mule clogs':



These are pretty slimier to the last pair but I think these are more night than day, I'm just really into the whole fur detail thing on heels! Priced at: £85.00


Next up are these diamante wedges!



If I'm honest I've never been into the look of wedges but these are just too cute to pass by! I can imagine wearing these with quite a sultry toned down outfit. They're utterly gorgeous. Priced at: £75.00

The last pair are there 'camel' colored flats/boots!



Out of all these shoes, these are by far my favorite. I love the color, the detail, everything. I'm a person who's more partial to a pair of flats even though I do love my heels! I have been looking for a pair of boots like this or a while and these fit the bill perfectly! I will definitely be purchasing these! Priced at a pretty reasonable £35.00!
