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 ?

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 ;)

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.

FASHIONISTA EYESHADOW PALETTE

Good Evening Foxettes !
After searching around for the perfect colours to do a smokey blue and purple eye, I came across a stand in Superdrug with the Fashionista range. The range includes eyeshadows and blushes that can be put into a palette form, lip glosses and nail varnish etc, but as a sucker for eyeshadow I was completely drawn in !
Whilst swatching I decided upon 4 eyeshadow colours to go in my sleek, black, slightly reflective palette. 
These were (from left to right) - 

  • Blue Eyes - Shade 10
  • Deep Ocean - Shade 11
  • Amorous - Shade 33
  • Flamboyant - Shade 34
Each eyeshadow comes in individual packaging, but can easily be popped out and added to a palette by the magnets. This allows customers to either buy individual eyeshadows or create their own personal colour palette with integrated mirror.
As you can see from the swatches below, these eyeshadows are of high quality with impressive pigmentation. The colours are perfect to create smokey eyes and would be great for anyone wanting to experiment with eyeshadow.



I would highly recommend to go and swatch the Fashionista range, I was that impressed I can't wait to build another palette !
Each eyeshadow contains 2.5g and is £4.00.
Each palette can hold up to 4 eyeshadows or 4 blushes or mix'n'match, is £5.00 and comes in either black or red.
You can buy this product from Superdrug stores and online.

TOPSHOP FELT PEN EYELINER - JET

Hey Foxettes !
This is Topshop Felt Pen Liner.
I am pretty much the worst liquid eyeliner applier ever ! So I figured I would give this a go as it seems the easier option ! ...and it sure is easier !! I now feel confident in liquid liner application with this easy to hold pen style applicator !
The tip is very fine but not sharp or scratchy and delivers a smooth line of jet black liquid liner to the eye. It is really easy to wing out eyeliner, do a thin line or even a thick line. The smooth tip allows precision application to the lash line without the brush tip blunting or freying.
The liner itself holds up all day and gives a very black line with one swipe. 
The packaging has a two-click lid which prevents the product from drying out as it can be pretty inevitable for this type of liner.

The eyeliner pen costs £6.50 and is available at any Topshop or online.


Have you tried Topshop liquid liner pen ? What do you like from the Topshop make-up range ?

BARRY M FINE GLITTER DUST - SHADE 1

Hey Foxettes !
Today is the day for glitter ...
Barry M Fine Glitter Dust as it happens, in shade 1 - a pure silver glitter !
This product is perfect for injecting that bit of glitz and glam into a look. It is very multi purpose, being used for example, on the eye lid - dabbed carefully over primer or eyeshadow OR used in nail art, for red carpet glam ! It consists of finely ground glitter which makes it less coarse when being used for beauty purposes (rather than glueing and sticking it to paper when at school) !
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 !
I picked up this product at my local Superdrug for £4.59, it can also be purchased at Boots or online.
The final note from me - BECAREFUL, this can go EVERYWHERE if your not careful ;)

e.l.f SHIMMERING FACIAL WHIP - LILAC PETAL

Good Evening Foxettes !
This is the e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal !
It contains 9.5g, costs £1.50 and is available from www.eyeslipsface.co.uk.
The e.l.f website comes under quite a lot of criticism for online colour swatches being inaccurate, and i guess this is the same for this product. The name and swatch suggest a lilac tone but really, it is champagne with undertones of silver and is very wearable for any skin tone ! The e.l.f website offers many colours for this product which is great for suiting all customers needs. The packaging is small and convenient to pop into your make up bag, with the product itself having a pleasant smell of oranges.
Whilst using this product, I have found that it blends best when applied with fingers to highlight the cheekbones for that sunkissed sheen when caught by the light. As the main ingredient is water, it has a liquid consistency which means you only need to use a drop to get a desired effect - any more may make the face look greasy so BECAREFUL !
This product would be fabulous for people who have never used highlighter before and want to experiment with an inexpensive product.
