BARRY M DAZZLE DUST - SHADE 85

Good Evening Foxettes !
This is Barry M Dazzle Dust in shade 85.
The colour is a bright neon pink, which in my case doesn't get used too often ! (The last time I used it was for a Barbie fancy dress :P)
It is very pigmented and can be applied heavily or more sheer depending on your desired look, I personally enjoy using this heavily for a full colour effect !
The packaging is small and very easy to store, I like that you can see the product through the glass base so you don't have to struggle to find the colour you want in your collection !


The final note from me - BECAREFUL, this can go EVERYWHERE if your not careful ;)

I picked up this product at my local Superdrug for £4.59, it can also be purchased at Boots or online.

Have you ever tried Barry M glitter dusts? What is your favourite Barry M product?

UNE SKIN GLOW PENCIL - G02

Good Evening Foxettes !
This is the UNE Skin Glow Pencil in G02 !
I have been looking for a skin toned pencil for AGES to use in the water line to brighten up my eyes. I know that MAC often come out with skin toned pencils but I understand that only to be in collections so when I saw this I had to try it !
I didn't realise at first, but UNE is a natural brand of Bourjois, so I expected the quality to be as good.
The formula is creamy and glides on very easily, and lasts a good amount of time but on the waterline as it is not waterproof, there is reason for it to move at some point during the day.
The pencil is square which is very unique and something I have never seen before and the outer is white which looks nice and tidy.
I love that you can use this product in different areas of the eye including the waterline, inner corner and brow bone or even on the lid as a base !
You can get these in different colours to suit your skin tone, my choice is a light beige.


Each Skin Glow pencil is £6.99.
You can purchase this product from any UNE stockists including Superdrug and Boots.

Have you tried UNE's Skin Glow pencil ? Do you own any other UNE products ?

ILLAMASQUA INTENSE LIPGLOSS - MOVE

Hello Foxettes !
This is Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Move !
The colour is a warm mauve with a purple undertone which I am currently loving for the transition from Winter to Spring !
The formula of these lipglosses is something I have never encountered before, they are extremely pigmented and stay on the lips for an impressive amout of time. When the lipgloss begins to wear off, it fades nicely so the colour is still apparent and the gloss holds !
The packaging is a squirty tube, which isnt my favourite although, I prefer to apply this product with a lip brush as it gives me the best results !
I highly recommend you try out one of these lipglosses, even at the Illamasqua counter as they are very different to the lipglosses on the current market, a charachteristic the Illamasqua brand does very well.
You get 7ml of product in each lipgloss, and a little goes a long way !


Each Intense Lipgloss costs £13.00 which is very comparable to similar high end alternatives.
You can purchase this product from ASOS or online.

BARRY M DAZZLE DUST - SHADE 24

Hey Foxettes !
This is Barry M Dazzle Dust in shade 24.
The colour is an interesting golden brown with silver undertone flecks which makes it the perfect colour for that pretty natural eye look !
It can be applied heavily or more sheer depending on your desired look, I personally enjoy using this lightly with heavy gel eye liner flicked at the side !
The packaging is small and very easy to store, I like that you can see the product through the glass base so you don't have to struggle to find the colour you want in your collection !

The final note from me - BECAREFUL, this can go EVERYWHERE if your not careful ;)

I picked up this product at my local Superdrug for £4.59, it can also be purchased at Boots or online.

e.l.f EYELID PRIMER

Hello Foxettes !
This is the e.l.f professional eyelid primer !
The function of this product is to give a base to the eye for applying eye products, making them appear more vibrant, last longer and preventing them from creasing in the folds of the eyelid.
I have small eyes with a deep fold near the tear duct, so eye primers are an important part of my eye make up routine !
I have Urban Decay Primer Potion which is another loved eyelid primer.
For the past few days I have been testing them either side for a review for you !

Is it a good base ?
Yes, from the picture swatch below, you can see the e.l.f primer gives a much more opaque base than the Urban Decay which in my opinion makes the colour look more vibrant !

Does your eyeshadow crease ? 
No, I think this product creases a tad more than the Urban Decay but it doesnt crease as much as with no primer !

Does it make eyeshadow last all day ?
Yes, I think both of the primers are equal on the basis of this question.

Is there a price difference ?
Hell Yes ! , there is a £13 difference !

Which one is your favourite ?
I personally like them both but if I was to recommend a primer to someone that hasn't tried one before or is on a budget I would say the e.l.f, but for someone with make up experience I would say the Urban Decay !


Swatch - Left: e.l.f, Right: Urban Decay.

The e.l.f Eyelid Primer costs £1.50 and is available online.

MAC AMPLIFIED LIPSTICK - CHATTERBOX

Hey Foxettes !
This is MAC Chatterbox lipstick !
It is a bright pink, a lot brighter than many I own which makes it so unique ! It has no shimmer and is a prefect creme colour.
The formula is amplified, which is now my favourite finish after purchasing this lipstick - it last forever ! Even when it starts to wear off, it fades rather than actually come off, still giving a pinky tint on the lips !
The packaging is typical MAC, dark grey, bullet shaped packaging as this is in their permenant line.
I purchased this to go underneath my MAC flashmode lustreglass and it is a gorgeous pair !


Each 3g lipstick is £13.50 and are available at any MAC counter, MAC online or Debenhams.

CLINIQUE SUPERBALM MOISTURISING GLOSS - GRAPEFRUIT - COSMOPOLITAN APRIL 2012 MAGAZINE

Good Evening Foxettes !
Last week I purchased the new Cosmopolitan April 2012 edition magazine and was excited to choose one of four free Clinique gifts !

The choices were -
  • Clinique Superbalm Moisturising Gloss
  • Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream
  • Clinique Moisture Surge
  • Clinique High Impact Mascara
Each free gift was a sample size and contained a generous amount of product.
I chose the superbalm moisturising gloss, which contains 7ml of product in the colour Grapefruit.
In the tube, the gloss appears a pretty baby pink colour, but when applied to the lips sheers out to a barely noticible pale pink ! I don't really see the point of purchasing clear lipglosses, so it is great that I did not have to purchase this full size and have a good amount to try out.
After applying the lipgloss, the formula felt really smooth and with just the right balance of sticky-ness. In my opinion this formula is slightly sticky, I would say it is the middle ground between a Barry M lipgloss and MAC lipgloss !


Regular size product contains 15ml and costs £13.50.
You can purchase the full size products at - Boots, Debenhams, Clinique Website to name a few stockists.
Cosmopolitan April 2012 edition costs £3.50.

No7 MOISTURE DRENCH LIPSTICK - 90 WATERLILY

Hello Foxettes !
This is No7 Moisture Drench lipstick in 90 Waterlily.
As you can see, it is a pretty muted middle pink colour with tiny almost unnoticible gold flecks.
The formula is nice and creamy and gives a great amount of pigmentation in just one sweep.
On the lips, it feels dewy and glossy so it can be worn with or without a covering gloss !
The packaging, as usual for No7 is sturdy, sleek and sophisticated !



Each lipstick costs £10.00 and can be purchased from any Boots in the UK or Boots online.

e.l.f LIP STAIN - FASHIONISTA

Hey Foxettes !
This is the e.l.f Studio Line lip stain in Fashionista !
To me, this colour has BARBIE written all over it ! It is a colour that every make up addict should own !
These lip stains are the only variation available so far from e.l.f and they come in a variety of colours from baby pink to ruby red covering pretty much every base !
The consistency of these stains are drying, which is a common issue when using lip stains. Though drying, these last for ages without fading or settling into the fine folds of the lips.
You can wear these lip stains with or without the gloss provided - for a matte or glossy lip, or you could use a favourite gloss of your own !


For the price I don't think you can go wrong with this range.
Each Lip Stain is £3.50 and available on the e.l.f website.
