A tartan tale collection by Mac

I thought I would review this product for you even those this was from Macs tartan tale collection which was in 2010 I think you will benefit from reading this review. 

I recieved this from my old boss as a Christmas present this was in actual fact my very first thing from mac! 

To be honest I didn't use it that much as I wasn't into much eye makeup back then, but right now this is still my fave set to go to do my eye makeup. 

I believe you could get loads of different colours and sets from this range from lip glosses to pigments and even brushes. 

The set comes in a tarten tin and comes with four beautiful pigments and one stunning glitter:

Gift o glamour pigment ( bronze shimmer ) 

Glided green pigment ( green/teal shimmer ) 

Most darling pigment ( brown with little specs of glitter ) 

Reflects bronze glitter ( literally a really glittery bronze/gold glitter ) 

Gold mode pigment ( pale gold shimmer ) 

I have had this set for over 4 years and not one of these pigments/glitter is half empty. In fact it's just made a small dent in it! 

I wanted to share this to say you will not EVER waste your money on pigments and glitter by Mac. What is even better is these are smaller sized pigments they're not full sized, so that just shows you get value for money if the smaller ones haven't all gone after 4 years of use!

You don't need a lot on your brush to apply to your eyes either and it stays on your eyes beautifully without going liney or look worn. I love how shimmery and glittery the colours are and how well they blend. 

I don't know if you can buy these colours separately or it was just a Christmas limited edition selection but trust me you won't be disappointed with any of these colours! 

My favourite ones I use a lot is probably the most darling pigment and the reflects bronze glitter. Only because I use natural colours more and I like the depth of the brown for my crease on my eye and the glitter for a night out for a dramatic yet girly look. 

Defiantly worth the money with Mac and let me know what your favourite mac glitters and pigments are :)

The body shop Vitamin E review

I been seeing everywhere about the vitamin E overnight serum-in-oil and been dying to try some and finally got my hands on it.... Well and more as you can see above! 

I went into oxford yesterday to purchase it. It retails at £12. I saw a gift pack for £16 including the serum and the vitamin E intense moisture cream. When I went to the till they said for two pound more you can get a free gift bag worth £22.50. So of course being a girl I said yes please! 

I picked up the vitamin E lip care stick for £4. In this free gift I received a mascara, eyeliner, vitamin E masque hydration intense and vitamin E cream cleanser. 

So I took my makeup off and then tried the cream cleanser. I must say it picked up the left over gunk on my face and left it feeling soft. Best thing is you don't need a lot of it. I then used the masque. The texture of the masque isn't what I expected I thought it would be a thick texture. It came out watery almost like liquid. I applied to skin as directed and then wiped off with tissue as directed. I felt my skin afterwards and it felt amazing. I was completely taken back by it. 

I then used the vitamin E moisture lip care. It is quite nice, but I found I had to apply quite a bit to feel it on my lips? But this may be because I'm used to using Carmex which is perfect as I put on plenty to keep my lips moistured. However my lips did feel conditioned in the end and felt soft. 

I then moisturised my face with the intense cream. The texture is so think and smells gorgeous. I applied it and then put on the overnight serum. It  may look quite greasy once applied but don't be fooled it's a lightweight formula. I woke up today and my skin felt amazing. It has a lovely glow and feels and looks hydrated and soft. 

What I like about these products are that they are affordable and honestly I was shocked at how well they worked and done exactly what it says on the packaging. I'm looking forward to seeing the results in a week.

Hope this helped :) 

Ted Baker rose gold set - re-edit due to deleting

This is a Ted baker set I received for Christmas and to much surprise I love it! 

The set includes: 

Bronzer 

Liquid illuminator 

Liquid golden shimmer 

Bronzer brush 

So I saw this and thought I need to have it! One because it's rose gold and two it is so glittery!! So my lovely fiancé got it me for Christmas. 

So the packaging is so beautiful it's so pretty. The bronzer is in a rose gold case and the brush is in a stunning rose gold holder. So of course I was sold!! 

The bronzer is not only lovely to look at but lovely to use on your face. It has different shades of glitter brown with a TB written over it in pure gold glitter. It's so glittery and is a lovely bronzer. 

The liquid illuminator and golden shimmer are abit like nail polishes. When you open the lid the brush is joint to it. The illuminator is more like a highlighter. So I apply tops of cheeks, under eyebrows and Cupid's bow. I love the highlighter! You only need a small amount. As it's liquid I apply it by dabbing it on my finger and patting it on the bits I want to highlight. With the golden shimmer its more lime a liquid bronzer. I haven't got to grips with it yet as I find it hard to not make it look patchy?! It's a shame as it's such a nice colour but it like absorbs in to your skin and leaves a hideous patch?! Until I find a right way of applying it I will leave it in my makeup box. If I find a way I will let you know. 

The brush is also amazing! I loved how it has a hot pink dip dye. The bristles are so soft and it glides lovely on my face. Defiantly one I grab to apply my bronzer or blusher! 

Overall I loved this set. Especially as it's from ted baker I was very impressed with the packaging, the look of the products and the actual products... Maybe minus the golden shimmer. But this set is definatly recommendable. 

Gold smokey eye - re-edit from deleting

So I created a smoke eye with a nice gold shimmer just to soften it up :) I used mainly colours from my mac green and teal nocturnal set. Which is posted and reviewed below. 

For this look I used : 

Mac deep blue green pigment 

Urban decay half baked 

Mac glitter 3d gold

Loreal false lash telescopic mascara 

Maybelline gel line in intense black 

Okay so I primed my lids with urban decay original eye primer. I then started with the dark colour so the mac deep blue green pigment just on the outer eye, crease and under outer lower lash line. I then used half baked on my lid and inner lower lash line. I blended it all together. 

I then used my glue wand from majenta which helps set the glitter. You could use fix spray instead. I patted it on my lid and under inner lower lash line. I then patted the 3d gold glitter on top of the glue. If you struggled with this collection 2000 do a lovely gold in glam crystals and it's a gel liner so really easy to apply. 

I then lined my eyes with maybelline eyeliner and coated my lashes in loreal mascara. And there you have it a nice shimmer gold smokey eye. 

Green with envy with full face makeup - re-edit due to deleting

So again sorry for deleting so this time you got a full face makeup with this look aswell. 

I done this look around Christmas time. I think I did this for am illmasqua competition involving glitter which they has on Instagram over Christmas. 

So to try this look I used: 

Mac pigment in glided green 

Mac pigment in vanilla 

Collection 2000 glam crystals in spandex 

Maybelline gel liner in intense black

Loreal False lash telescopic mascara 

Eyelure lashes in Cheryl 

On my face I used: 

Majenta primer

Mac studio fix fluid in nw13 

Ted baker bronzer 

Body shop blusher in shade 01 petal 

Maybelline colour sensational lipstick in rosy dream 

Lime crime lipgloss In snowcicle 

Okay so some people do eyes first than face but I usually do my eyes first to avoid any accidents with glitter. 

So I started by priming my face and lids with majenta primer. I got this in a boutique in oxford so I'm unsure if you able to buy any online or if there is one local to you. 

I then swiped mac glided green pigment all over my lid and added more to the outer eye and crease to add definition. I then added mac vanilla to the inner corner of my eye and blended into the glided green to add shimmer. 

I then used collection 2000 glam crystals. I love these sticks! It's so easy to use and apply and sets straight away. So I used spandex which is green with tiny gold specs in. I put under my lower lash line. I then put my maybelline eyeliner on the top lash line and put spandex over the top. 

I then apply my eyelashes and do a coat of mascara. This is optional but I sprayed my eyes with fix spray to keep everything in place. 

I applied my foundation with real technique stippling brush starting from jawline working my way into my face. I then applied my bronzer just under my cheekbones and my blusher on my cheeks. 

To finish the look I used a pinky lipstick to make it more girly and not so dramatic. I coated it with a clear glitter gloss from limecrime. 

There you have it perfect evening eyes :) 

Happy valentines day - re-edit as I deleted my previous entry

Happy valentines day!! 

I can now tell you since my entry got deleted that I had a lovely cooked meal and a lovely pudding. Much to my surprise my fiancé got me a bunch of flowers and chocolates with a beautiful card. So surprised as usually we don't share gifts. 

For my look tonight I used my no7 pallet on my eyes and will probably review it later in the week for you. I can't tell you the colours as they aren't listed on pallet. I used a glitter brown blended into a creamy pink. 

I used my trusty mac studio fix fluid foundation with mac warm and soul bronzer and a hint of body shop blusher in shade 01 petal. I set all my look with rimmel stay Matt powder. 

My hair I used my foxy locks extensions and done a cute lil French braid. I thought it was a nice girly look for valentines day. 

I hope you all had a lovely evening and feet spoilt just like I did :)
