REVIEW: PS… Nude Addiction Eyeshadow Palette #Blogmas2019

I had to go into Primark to make a return for a friend and walked past the makeup section and thought I would have a look and saw this palette and just got drawn to this palette.

Just on first appearance I feel these colours are me, they are neutral but with shimmer. The packaging is cardboard with a magnetic closer, it's pretty sleek.

REVIEW: The Ordinary High-Spreadability Fluid Primer

I am going to try this primer with a variety of foundations with half of the face with the primer (my right, your left) and the other half no primer (my left, your right) to see if it is worth it. I am also using all of the same makeup like bronzer, highlighter etc even eyeshadow so that it's a fair test.

CLAIMS:

• lightweight serum-like formula that increases the spreadability of subsequent complexion makeup to help avoid the unnatural and uneven accumulation of pigments especially around the eyes and on dry skin

1. Use as the last step in skincare regimen as a makeup primer.

REVIEW: The BRITS Awards 2019 Outfits

I did the Golden Globes and got some good response from it so thought I would pick a few more celebrities and rate their outfits too and I tried to get as many celebs from that in this one.

Abbey Clancy

How can somebody look so good whilst being pregnant?
Abbey Clancy is wearing Alexandre Vauthier, I think it suits her this outfit, Abbey Clancy is a sexy and yet elegant person and she has done it perfectly.

4. Apply evenly across face and neck using your fingertips. 
5. Leave on for no more than 10 minutes. 
6. Rinse with lukewarm water. 
7. Do not leave on for longer than 10 minutes. 

Just before I start, I apologise for the poor quality pictures I have been using a mix of Canon 1100d as well as my phone plus the lighting is terrible in some pictures.

My skin is really dull, large pores, fine lines and bumpy skin so with the claims of this product hopefully I will have goddess like skin.

REVIEW: Golden Globes 2019 Outfits

On Monday morning I woke up to pictures on Instagram, pictures on the Daily Mail website and pictures in newspapers about The Golden Globes so I thought I would embrace The Golden Globes and say my opinion (yes OPINION) on the outfits of a few celebrities, I have also managed to find out where the outfits are from from others. I don't own any of the photos.

Alison Brie

I don't know who she is so had to Google her and what a lucky girl she is, she married Dave Franco in 2017. Her dress is from Vera Wang, I think it's stunning, the mesh/tulle style dress is simple but to add a little sparkle to the dress it has a sparkly bandeau underneath.
Star Rating: 5/5
