Boxswap #1 Beautifully Disney collection

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone is roasting their bums by the fire and relaxing with a nice cup of tea at this hour! 

These next few posts will be reviews on all the unbelievable stuff I received from Lynell during our box-swapping!Let me give you the mini lo-down before I begin.

Lynell & I met on Twitter when I asked an outwardly question to the public, the question was ''Would anybody like to do a box-swap?'' and Lynell came to my rescue! We quickly hit it off and have become great mates! We tend to talk most days and I can safely say I have made a true friend with her! Lynell lives all the way in Florida U.S.A, and me being in Ireland,knew this was going to be SUPER fun! She also works in non other than the happiest place on earth..Disney World!!! How beyond awesome is that?! And this is why I have received these amazingly beautiful Disney items, allllll the way from Disney World in Florida! (I nearly wet myself when I opened the package) So lets see what I thought?


Beautifully Disney: Brush Collection 

Behold, this glorious Disney eye porn!

So let me start off by saying, I cant believe I own something is pretty and all the way from Disney World itself! 
I don't think there is anything more perfect than Disney + Makeup mashed together, its a dream!
First of all, the Gothic-esque packaging is to die for! Complete with silhouettes of Disney Princesses and their Villains! The pink tips add so much more to the brushes, the perfect touch.
These brushes are in NO way meant for children, do not be fooled! This is very much Disney for adults, and I could not be more pleased about that if I tried. The brushes are surprisingly soft, like a wee babies bum! And I am honestly delighted with these!
Brush set includes:
Eye-shadow brush
Contour/blush brush
Angle brush
Foundation brush
Concealer brush


Beautifully Disney : Lipgloss


First of all, again, the packaging...WOW! Could not be more perfect if it tried!
I was expecting these three gorgeous shades to be of ''child makeup'' quality. But dear lord was I wrong! There was NOTHING plastic about these bad boys! The Villains shown on the front of these tubes are: Ursula, Evil Queen & of course Maleficent. On top of the boxes it also has their symbols/weapons/sidekicks!!
The formula is pigmented and stays put for AGES, I truly love these! They remind me of MAC's Villains collection they brought out some years ago! I feel very very lucky to own these gorgeous glosses.

Colour's from L to R:
^^ Soul Survivor, Poisoned Apple & Dragon Diva ^^
I Swatched the colours so as you can see how vibrant and beautiful they are!

Beautifully Disney: Nail Appliqués 


Look at how utterly gorgeous these are! I've never worn anything like this on my nails but I can't wait to! One set (Left) Is Alice in Wonderland themed and the other (right) Is Disney Villain themed. And I cannot stop looking at these colourful, pretty nail appliqués 



I hope you enjoyed the first part of finding out what's in my box-swap box.
Huge thanks to Lynell who has been an unbelievable saviour and who STILL hasn't received the box I've sent her :'( (Damn Irish mail) Fingers crossed it gets to you soon!
Tune in tomorrow for more surprises and tips!

HAPPY BOXSWAPPING!

Revlon colourstay moisturestain & gel envy *review*

Good evening everyone! I'm mad sorry that the majority of my posts have been posted in the evening time recently, I'm a tad under the weather and feel so groggy in the morning time...and I'm just too lazy! 

ANYWAY, Recently I received a PR package from the lovely people at Revlon! I was dealing with an amazing woman called holly, who couldn't have been nicer and more helpful if she tried, I honestly haven't come across a more helpful PR, so thank you Holly and thank you for this generous package she sent me!
A hand written note, how lovely and personal!

In this package I recieved:
3 Revlon colourstay moisturestain's
&
3 Revlon colourstay Gel Envy nail varnishes 
When I opened the Lip glosses I realised that one was empty, I emailed holly about the matter and she immediately sorted out my problem and shipped me 3 more! Amazing!


So here are the colours:

050 London Posh (Excuse the sickly skin)
A Shimmery nude with a gold undertone 
025 Cannes Crush
A Bright peach
035 Miami Fever
A more vibrant peachy orange
001 India Intrigue 
A purple/mauve colour
First impressions : When you first apply the lipgloss, its a tad streaky and looks almost chalky. But after a few layers it goes on just fine. I wouldn't really call this a ''stain'' at all. 

Although the colours are gorgeous, the staying power is quite minimal. The product its self is thick and makes your lips feel moisturised and plump, This is one thing i did love about these. But after about half an hour the shine and colour seem to be gone completely.

 I appreciate Revlon sending me this gorgeous package but unfortunately it didn't quite tickle my fancy..Sorry Revlon!

Up next we have the Gel Envy nail varnishes  

130 Pocket Aces
410 Up the Ante
220 In the Money

When I first saw these colours I was blown away, I'm not the biggest 'green' fan in the world but them purple and coral colours got me so excited to try them on...
And I adore them!
(Sorry about the shabby nail work, not my strong point)

These swatches on my nails are after only one coat!
The coverage is amazing! And they dry pretty quickly! Super pigmented with a high gloss shine. I would urge any nail enthusiast to get their little paws on these babies! 
Super fun and super girly, and I love the summer colours they sent me! So perfect!

MUA luxe lacquer - *Review*

Hello everyone! Trying to get through as many things today as humanly possible whilst unwell! (Worlds smallest violin) and this post in number one on my list so here it goes! :)

I've always been truly devastated that MUA do not sell their LUXE collection here in Ireland! Seeming as my whole family live in Birmingham,England (Whaddup the fam) my ma flew over to England and I asked her to bring me home these little gems! So without further adieu, here is my verdict..

Look at the pretty!!
I basically asked my ma to grab all the colours that she could get her hands on, these were the only 4 in stock at that time
The packaging is very ''Luxe'' itself! 
And these only cost £3 each!! 
These babies go on wet and dry completely matte! How amazing!! 
The packaging is similar to that of Limecrimes Velvetines frosted glass casing!
And thankfully a fraction of the price! Limecrimes Velvetines usually retail at $20 each!

Here's the colours I currently have
  • Kooky - An ultraviolet matte purple.The staying power of this colour is amazing! And is my favorite of all four
  • Reckless - This amazing 50's style red is an absolutely perfect statement red! The staying power is quite good, I find this one dried the quickest
  • Funk - This candy,bubblegum pink i usually something id steer away from, but I honestly love it, THIS one was like rock to get off, the staying power is unbelievable 
  • Tranquility - This gorgeous colour is perfect for creating that sexy 60's look, pair this with dark smokey eyes, big eyelashes and a mini skirt and hello twiggy!
