Avon Ultra Colour Lip crayon- Showstopper Pink - FOTD and a little Bambi!

Hello everyone !
Has anyone got any good bargains for Black Friday ?
Thankyou so much to the people who read my blog and those who follow, share and comment <3

Today I have a FOTD because I actually look alright today ha ha! I love this new Lip Crayon which I will talk about in a moment and oh my word to me it's Bambi Friday! Look at my gorgeous jumper. This is the one I showed in my haul. I saw it in a magazine and NEEDED it in my life.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

 Avon Lip Crayon- Showstopper Pink.

I've only ever ordered a few things from Avon in the past but now I'm starting to love it more. I saw the Avon lip crayons advertised in a magazine and it was the fuchsia shade that was shown. I really wanted it! A couple of campaigns back when the lip crayons were first being introduced they were on special offer and I think I purchased it for £5.50. Rather than getting the fuchsia shade though my eyes were drawn to showstopper pink and I was sold.

Packaging:

The lip crayon is packaged in a black cardboard little box which I don't care for too much as the rest of their lipsticks and nail polishes arrive in this too. I just treat it as though it's protecting the lip crayon inside.

I like the simple design of the crayon and that you can see the shade at the bottom part of the stick.

The crayon is twistable which I love so no sharpeners are necessary.

The logo is in silver and is clear to see and effective against the black.

Price:

Just looked on their website and they are down again to £5.50 and if you order one you get a free  plump pout lip gloss too at the moment! You can buy it here.

Performance:

I love this lip crayon. I think I have a bit of a thing for crayons! The colour is absolutely gorgeous and highly pigmented and applies smoothly with a shine. It's not overly moisturising and as I rub my lips together it feels like a lipstick does. Next time I will apply my lip butter underneath beforehand. The colour lasts and is vibrant and I would definitely repurchase.

Avon has some little gems.

Plain black box it arrives in and a Cartier advertisement.

Lip crayon stick.

Applies smoothly with a sparkle.

 FOTD - Today my makeup consists of Benefit Fake-Up, Coralista blusher, Bourjois chocolate bronzer, Urban Decay eyeshadows, Urban Decay eyeliner, Avon Showstopper pink lip crayon and Maybelline Falsies mascara.

Love love love the Bambiness.

Happy Halloween! MOTD Beautyuk Festival palette

Happy Halloween!

As my new *Beautyuk Palette is the Festival one I thought that today being Halloween would be the perfect opportunity to get creative with the bright colours. The inspiration came to me whilst walking little Alfie this morning down a long path full of trees and autumn leaves. Ha ha my hair is so wind swept but big hair don't care!!
This palette would be fabulous for bright butterflies creatively applied in the Spring / Summer time too!
I swatched and showed the pallette in more detail here in my previous blog post.

I love face art and so decided to create a simple pumpkin first on my cheek and used the green, black, yellow and orange shades. I blended and shaded the colours to give more of a dimensional look.

I then drew simple lines and joined them together by using the black eyeshadow. I then added a little blue and green and attached a spider!

I have figured out this week that my nail art and creative make up skills are basic ha ha! You've either got it or you haven't and I think my skills are lost somewhere in Fairyland.

I really really need a chocolate apple that are out in supermarkets this month plus tonight I'm making sure we watch something spooky. Today is one of those days that I keep waiting for something to happen........... but sometimes you need to make things happen yourself <3

Beauty UK, Benefit, JvG, Maybelline, Bourjois, Urban Decay FOTD

After accumulating quite a lot of beauty items I thought I would kill two birds with one stone , so to speak, and try out two of my new products which I bought and received in my Miss Glossy box. This bag of beauty products contains 4 or 5 high street beauty products. I love high end items but also love high street ones too, discovering gems and trying out new colours.

The two products I decided to try on my 'face of the day' were the Beauty UK posh pout ( a twist-up tinted lip balm ) £2.99 and JG/ JvG make-up collection soft touch eyeliner 10 - waterproof £6.95

I am incredibly impressed with both of these products and would definitely repurchase again. The Beauty UK posh pout I have in shade 3 which is 'Power to the Purple' although on the sticker it says purole. I didn't even know what purole meant!
I thought it was a lip crayon and with the excellent creamy pigmentation I didn't realise it was a tinted lip-balm until I  looked closely at the crayon . The lip crayon glides on effortlessly and it is easy to apply whilst leaving a lustrous colour. The purple elements gives the pink an impressive kick in the right direction. I really want to try out more of these products and see what the rest of the range has to offer too.

I'd never heard of the brand JvG before and after researching I found it on MONU professional skincare and it's used for bridal make up too. The eyeliners are available in a range of shades too but I'm glad I received the black shade as it's more wearable for everyday for me personally.
I have a collection of eye liners and I only wear ones that are soft and easy to apply as I can't stand ones that drag or are hard and pencil crayon like. I get rid of them straight away if that's the case. However this one is a dream to apply and has a really strong colour. I'm not sure about it being waterproof as it came off easily but then again it didn't streak in the rain though either! I forgot about it being waterproof to be honest.

Products I used.

 Here are the products I used. I love Benefit and the Fake Up works really well and is moisturising. Mine is in the shade 02 Medium. I've hit pan on my Coralista Benefit blusher! I tend to wear this everyday and it has lasted absolutely ages so it works out great value for money.
I've had this Maybelline mascara pulse perfection stashed in my drawer still in its packaging. It reminds me of an electric toothbrush and putting it near your eyes! I also use the Bourjois chocolate bronzer. I don't wear foundation unless it's a night out somewhere.

Love this Urban decay palette I use it everyday!

I adore Urban Decay
