Kylie Jenner Lip Gloss

 I recently lucked out and was able to get my hands on Kylie Jenner's new lipgloss in the shade Literally and it's safe to say that I am very pleased! Kylie's products are so hyped up and sought after, so I decided to write a post to tell you about my experience with purchasing one of her lippies and also tell you my thoughts on the product.
First off, the price of the lipglosses are $15 each which converts to exactly £10.56 and I don't find the price alone too bad as you do get what you pay for. When purchasing, it didn't convert the price to pounds so it made it a little difficult to see exactly how much I was spending, which ended up being £21.09 ($29.96) exactly. Although I'm really happy with the product I bought, the international shipping is a little too pricey in my opinion as £10.53 for shipping, resulting in just over £20 altogether, is a little steep. Also, I didn't get a customs charge thank God! I think it's quite hit and miss, some people get a charge and others don't, I was one of the luckier ones which I'm quite happy with!
Now, I placed my order on the 1st of April and received it on the 11th, so it took 9 days. I was expecting it to take way longer to come seeing as it came all the way from LA to a little town in England, so I was super pleased! It came in the signature white box with the drip pattern on with lots of foam inside to keep the product safe.

I've got to say that I'm super pleased that I got one of the little notes from Kylie, I've heard that some people don't get them so again, it's quite hit and miss but I think it's such a sweet little idea.

On to the packaging, I love it! It's so cute with the drip design and minimal colours used, it makes the product really recognisable and it feels really expensive too. When I first got it, I was unsure whether the gloss packaging was made of plastic or glass cause of how high quality it feels but I'm pretty sure it is actually plastic. I love carrying it around in it's box too (I know I'm sad) just because of how cute and pretty it is!

Now, on to the actual gloss. I find it to be such a nice formula; it's really pigmented and moisturising and it is such a gorgeous shade! The website says it's a 'warm toned peachy nude' which I agree with, it is really opaque like a liquid lipstick and it is not sticky at all! I was expecting it to be, but on the lips it feels a lot like a lip balm which I really like. I love the colour on me and I think it would be a great glossy nude for South Asian skintones like mine. I can't rave about it enough, I love it!

Makeup Trend: Bare Faced and Bright Eyes

From looking at runways from Fashion Week across the globe to observing what's trending in the makeup community online, the recurring makeup look that is being worn is a barely there complexion with your natural skin shining through with bold and bright eye makeup. It is a fun and simple trend that really accentuates and enhances a persons natural features, which I love and it just looks so effortless and beautiful. It's also weird to consider how runway makeup and the #onfleek makeup worn on social media are polar opposites.

Kendall Jenner for Diane von Furstenberg S/S 2016

I love this soft, fresh-faced Mermaid inspired look worn by Kendall at this particular show. It looks super effortless and beautiful.

 

Alexis Mabille S/S 2016

This shows you don't need perfect skin to achieve a natural base, just a good concealer and a lighter coverage foundation! That's how I've liked covering blemishes and imperfections recently, along with the brushing upwards of the brows. Also, these 70s inspired eyes are super fun and playful.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2016

According to Harpers Bazaar, Francois Noir said backstage at the show "We always like to do the opposite of what other people do", and you can really see this in this makeup look. Keeping to the trend but venturing out with undone hair and spider lashes. Maybe not best for an everyday look!

A makeup artist who I've followed on Instagram for a while and completely obsessed over is Ania Milczarczyk from Sydney (I definitely had to copy that letter for letter from her page) and she has created this on-trend look multiple times and it looks simply beautiful.

Lookamillion and NYX Cosmetics - Live Demo and Meet & Greet

I had such a good time at the Lookamillion and NYX event held in Selfridges, Birmingham on March 8th. I learnt many new makeup tips and tricks from Sanna and it was so lovely meeting her too! Here's a few pictures from the event and please excuse the poor iPhone quality.

Some products from the new NYX range in Selfridges, Bullring.

Products used by Sanna to create the glam.

Contour...

  And this highlight gave me life! Was such a gorgeous pinky shimmer, Sanna used the NYX Prismatic eye shadow in the shade 'Girl Talk'

 

 This was the beautiful end result! The list of all the products used are over on Sanna's Instagram post.

 

This is some of the range of NYX products that they now have in the Selfridges store in Bullring. I am so happy that the brand is being brought over to the UK as the products that I have tried previously are so high quality and at a pretty decent price. On the day, I picked up the NYX Angel Veil primer for £12 on Sanna's recommendation and I'm really enjoying it so far.

 

 Finally, here's a quick picture of Sanna and I. She was so lovely and down to earth I learnt a lot from her. Also, look how beautiful she is masha Allah!

High Street Beauty Haul

 

 I've been splurging a little bit on makeup recently, so I thought I'd show you all some of the bits and bobs that I've picked up from the high street recently.
 



£4.19 

First up, I had to make a repurchase of my all time favourite concealer from Collection in Superdrug. The Lasting Perfection concealer in Warm Medium is something I've loved using for years, it is a perfect match for my skin and it's medium to full coverage which I always like to go for. I can't rave about this enough.

 

£1.00 

Beauty blogger Simply Tasnim (who I adore) posted a swatch of this Primark lip liner against Mac Soar and it was basically a dupe. I've used it once so far and for the price, I'm really pleased as it's a gorgeous colour with great staying power. You can't really go wrong and I do love a bit of Primarni me.

£9.99

This Garnier BB Cream in the shade Medium is amazing. It is a great colour match for me, feels super light on the skin, controls oil and actually provides decent coverage unlike a lot of BB creams on the market. I like using this day to day rather than a foundation because of how lightweight it is

and I just love the fact that it provides a great medium to full coverage. I'd definitely recommend this.

 



 £1.50 each

I've always loved Primark makeup brushes as they're super soft, great quality, apply makeup beautifully and they're such good value for money! Legit, you need to at least try one. Here I have a Foundation & Concealer brush, a Powder Foundation brush (which I prefer for stippling on liquid foundation) and the Eyebrow Brush. I love them all, but the brow brush is definitely my favourite as it really reminds me of the Anastasia Beverly Hills brush and it applies my brow powder perfectly. You've also got to appreciate how good they look! I love the rose gold detailing on these brushes.

 

 £8.00

I saw this palette on Kaushal's Kylie Jenner tutorial and it looked so good when she used it, so I had to purchase it as it is only £8 for 32 colours; you can't go wrong. It's the Flawless eyeshadow palette by Makeup Revolution and I although I haven't used it just yet, I know I'm going to love it and be able to do a lot with it. The colours I've swatched are Smudge, Burgundy Nights and Gold Digger and they have decent pigmentation and they're super buttery.

 

£6.00

This is the Cover and Conceal Palette by Makeup Revolution and it's in the shade Light to Medium. I repurchased this as I adored using it the first time round; it has great colours for highlighting and contouring and the concealers are super creamy and have great staying power. They're not the highest coverage but I'm willing to work with that as I got a lot of use out of it last time and it didn't run out for a good five or six months.
