Loreal La Palette Nude - Roses: Review

Lets start off with saying - If I ever regret buying for an item, it would have to be this one. I totally wish I swatched before purchasing because I just wasn't happy with this palette one bit at all. If I could of got my $25 back that would have been fantastic, because, my Essence Palette is MUCH better quality than this one. And thats a major $20 difference.

I did try selling this palette after I wasn't happy with it, for a cheaper price, but had no luck. So i ended up just donating it, and it was bought while I was volunteering one day.

Now onto the palette. Opening it, you see me throwing the peace sign, waddup dogs.

No just kidding. But as you can see, all shades are VERY similar, which really threw me off. The only shade that doesn't seem similar is the very last purple/plum shade.

It did come with a doe-foot applicator but I always throw them out because I'm never going to use them and they are cheap to buy anyway.

As for pay off, the swatch okay, but honestly for Loreal and $25 I expected alot more pigmentation. My Essence Roses palette is a lot more pigmented than this is.

As for formula, there is a mixture of mattes and shimmers.

Would I Reccommend?

No I wouldn't. Its not worth the price tag, and there are better palettes you can get cheaper out there.

A-Z of Beauty Tag (A-M)

A is for Australis. Australis is a hit and miss brand for me. I quite like their lipsticks and concealers, but their eyeshadows I'm not too sure how I feel about

B is for Burt's Bees. I've only ever tried these products by Burt's Bees and I love them. Though I mistakenly used the Cuticle Cream as Lip Balm, whoops!

C is for Chi Chi. Ah how I love Chi Chi so much. So many things I want to buy on my list!

D is for Dermalogica. This is my current Moisturiser I am using and I quite like it as I'm breaking out right now.

E is for Essie. Essie is hands down my favourite nail lacquer brand.

F is for Fragrances. These are my current top 2 fragrances of the moment.

G is for Gerard Cosmetics. Which I am yet to try but I didn't want to miss a letter :3

H is for Hard Candy. I don't know how I feel about Hard Candy. The lipgloss is nice, but the Lip Liner is hard to apply.

I is for Insomnia Cosmetics. A Site I found on Etsy and would like to try at some point.

J is for Jane Gem Primer. Shush I know the brand is Glamourflauge but I only just noticed that....

K is for Korean Makeup. Again SHUSH This is Japanese but....Its probably made in Korea?

L is for L'Oreal. BABY I love me some of dis mascara!

Finally for now.....M is for Maybelline! Maybelline is HANDS DOWN My favourite brand for when it comes to makeup.

N-Z coming on Thursday!

#1 Empties 2015

New year, more shit to throw out. I've been collecting these items since January and decided its about time to chuck them in the bin. Lets see what I have...

Loreal Base Magique Primer: I quite liked this primer, as it was creamy. But I wouldn't pay full price for this.

Avene Blemish Lotion: It actually has a long name, I just forgot it and its already in the bin so I'm not getting it back out. But I didn't like this. I feel like it cause more acne than reduce it. I don't know. Maybe I was due for my monthlys (I'm on the pill so I don't get it) and thats what caused it but I really dont know.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream: Already bought a backup of this as I use it daily and love it.

Savvy Eyeliner: I hated this. The applicator was pointy and made the application streaky.

Essence Big Lashes: My favourite Essence mascara, will buy another for sure.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner: I did like this, It just dried up because I didn't use it for a long time....I will buy another one.

Seche Vite: Dried up within 2 months :( Will not buy again.

Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara: I really liked this mascara, I will buy if it goes back on sale.

Face of Australia Lip Crayon in Macaron: This broke on me but I hardly use it and I can buy another one for real cheap anyway.

Rimmel Smokey Noir: I've had this for years and its just starting to lose its quality

What have you thrown out recently?

LOREAL MISS MANGA MEGA VOLUME MASCARA REVIEW

Ahh How I love this Mascara!

I just tested it out not even half an hour ago and BOY do I L-O-V-E it! Its phenomenal!

I've never tried any mascara by Loreal before as their price range is a bit too much for me (As is Revlon, but they have sales often) so I'm never normally leaning towards Loreal, though I do love their products and am always impressed with what I try from them, and this mascara was no different.

I wanted to try this mascara ever since watching PiinkSparkles' review and fell in love with it.

How about I just tell you about the darn thing?

This mascara is a volumising mascara intending to give big anime eyes. It has a similar intention to the Maybelline Big Eye's collection but actually achieves the effect. I find that the mascara also curls your lashes as you apply it too. Heres a photo of my eye with one coat of the mascara - which I feel is all you need:

I love the look of the mascara, I love the overall effect.

The brush also has a cone effect, Starting smaller at the end, and becoming bigger. I find this easier to apply my mascara and it gets all the lashes no problem.

But the only thing I do not like about it is the fact that it is a bendable 360 degree brush. I cannot stand bendy brushes. I find them easier to make a mess with. But however, I did try it, and felt it did not annoy me as much as the Maybelline one I tried did. Maybe I've grown up with how I use my mascara or something but it was easier.

The mascara also claims to be flake free, which I am yet to see as I'm only half an hour into wearing the product.

I really honestly love this mascara and if it came on sale again, I might go back and buy a backup. Infact I might go back to another Priceline and buy one while it is still on sale.

This mascara I give a 5/5 stars and would really reccomend to anyone who wants to try a new mascara.

Go buy yourself one!

Review: Loreal Infallible Pressed Eyeshadow

Hey Beauties,

So, quite a while ago, I think it was last month, I purchased a Loreal Infallible eyeshadow. Now this isn't any ordinary eyeshadow. It is a pressed pigment eyeshadow. So its pretty neat.

I selected - Well. I didn't select, it was on clearance so I didn't have a choice, but the colour I got was in Innocent Turquoise, and if I were to pick a colour, this wouldn't be one I'd choose to be honest, because I own way too many blues. But I had to buy it because Lauren Curtis (Youtuber) raves about them so.....I buy what youtubers tell me to buy......its bad.

The colour pay off of this shadow is quite nice, in my opinion though, not very pigmented. I was expecting more blue, but its more of a sheer, baby blue, with silver reflects in it. Its almost holographic (omg i want a holographic eyeshadow now)

Upon application, its really smooth and soft like a babies bottom. I've had no experiences with fall out thus far, but the product packs onto the brush pretty firmly and is pretty thick (not in a bad way) so you don't need to tap any of the excess off.

The shade really reminds me of a fish scale, just the way it catches in the light.

I haven't worn this shade too often yet, just because I haven't worked out a way to wear it on a day to day basis. And its not too dramatic for me either. Its just subtle. Which I don't own many eyeshadows that are a colour, but not too pow. So maybe thats why I'm so iffy about this product. I don't know.

Here's A tutorial I did using the shadow:

How would you wear this shadow?
