Beauty(from)UK

Hallo!

I got stuff to try from BeautyUK, and here's a little review of them.
I also started to use ratings, so it would be easier to check what did I think about the product! Let me know what you think!

Baked eyeshadow Meadow, Pearl liner Sorceress, lipstick Vampire

Here we go

 BeautyUK baked eyeshadow Meadow:

 Well... I hate to give negative reviews, but this isn't really that good.
It's a bit chalky, a bit too shimmery, and not very pigmented. (And I managed to broke mine when it jumped on the floor :S)
If you want cheap shadow, you can get this, but personally I think that there's much better options than this.
BeautyUK's baked eyeshadow are available in 6 different trio's, and you can get them from here for the price of £3.99.

BeautyUK Lipstick Vampire:
RED! Firetruck red with more blue base than yellow, yay!
This reminds me of Illamasqua's Sangers and Faust, but this is bluer than Sangers and redder than Faust. This is also more shiny (not shimmery!), not as dry as Illamasqua's lipstick.
This seems to stay put quite well, doesn't bleed on the edges or anything.
I think this is really well worth the price, which is £3.49. Vampire and 10 more shades available here.

Last but not least, my personal favourite,

BeautyUK Pearl Eyeliner Sorceress:

OMG.
I have a weak spot for purples, and this is like perfect!
It has a thin tip, which is easy to use, and the color is amazing purple.
Liner itself is maybe a bit too wet, it can be messy, but it dries up quite fast on lid, so it's not really a problem.
I kinda lont my interest to liquid liners after I discovered gel liners, but this is just too awesome not to use.
And did I already mention about the staying power of this baby?
I swatched in my arm and kinda forgot it there (How do you spot a makeup artist? Just look at the hands, there swatches all over them ;D), and went shopping, made food, played with my chidren, went to shower, slept... And it was still VERY CLEARLY visible next day, when I did another swatches!
Still it was easy to wipe off from the lid with makeup remover.
I love this liner, and this isn't the only amazing color of these! There's also another purple, electric blue, stunning teal... IƤll try to get them in to my hands (literally :D) so you'll see how they look!
Available in 8 stunning shades, with the price of £3.49 here.

Lastly my today's look, which was inspired by the "panda eyes" (I see no panda, but that's how press talks about them) that Cate Middleton had in the Royal Wedding:





 And here's my look:

1001 looks and BeautyUK review

Hola!
So, I've been trying to do a Valentine's Day look for you for a while now, but I just fail at using pink. It just isn't my color. But I made awesome lashes :D

I used feather, nail rhinestones and nail fimo :D Too bad they aren't really usable :(
But finally I managed to do super classic Valentine's look :D
Classic pin-up with 28 neutral palette:



  • 1 – lid
  • 2 - Crease
  • 3 – Crease
  • 4 – Highlight, inner corner
Paired with red lips, OCC NSFW:

I've been using MAC Peacock too lately, first I paired it with MAC Sweetjoy and Urban Decay Bourbon pencil:



Then I tried it with purple, MAC Vibrant Grape:


Also, my friend J went to a party, where the theme was 1001 nights, so I styled her and did her makeup:

For her makeup I used Sugarpill Goldilux and MUFE #92:


And I got also something awesome fit to that same theme! I got this A-MAZING indian bridal jewelry set from eBay:


Then a small review.
Amongst many other blogger, I also got some BeautyUK products to review.

I've tried beautyUK's products before, and I must admit that their lipglosses really didn't impress me much. Their loose shadows are good, but I've been avoiding their pressed shadows.

Bu now I got BeautyUK Lash-fx mascara and #6 Day&Night palette to try:

The mascara is OK.  I've seen much worse drugstore mascaras and also better ones.This is cheap and not bad. :D

 But the palette!
I was really suprised about it.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but this was really good.


Colors are pretty and pigmented and easy to use.
I love that it has a good colors, it has great highlighter and it also has black to make looks deeper. This one on great one to take with you, if you don't want to carry several shadows.

It's cheap and nice, colors are easy to pair (you get great combos if you take the opposite colors like black/white, cream/bronze, yellow/rust, blue/purple, pink/red).
How ever, I suggest you use a good primer underneath these.
Here's swatches:

And two looks with this palette:



And our ratpack also got a new member, we call her Possu (piggy) :D
