Michael Kors Spring Summer s/s 2014 Makeup Review!

After being invited along to the Lauder blogger's event I was sent some Michael Kors makeup to test and review for my blog. This has taken a little longer to review as I have never tried out Kors products and I wanted to get a fuller view of how their products last on the skin, and I'm also at the end of my 1st year Art university course so I have been extremely busy!

I was randomly sent a bronzer, two nail polishes, a lipstick, fragrance, and lipgloss to try!

Each collection is split into three, for a day time look, mid day, and evening. I was sent a selection of each collection!

Time trialed = 1 Month

Pixi Beauty Redness Reducing Primer Review!

When I first saw this I was super excited to see that Pixi had released a new primer, especially since I loved their poreless primer! Redness for me is a big issue so when I paid visit to the Pixi shop this month it was at the very top of my list!

Price: £20.50

Time trialed; 1.5 weeks.

Greyscale

So this was my final Halloween look! I'm glad I didn't bail when I applied all grey foundation on my face because I did look a little weird! I would have liked to be a little paler but I was so pleased with how my cheek bones turned out!
I also sprayed my hair white and glad I did so it gelled the look together.
I used Smashbox, Rimmel, Natural Collection, Bourjois and NARS products to make this look.
Next Halloween I'm definitely doing something a little more gore-ish!

Look of the day - Rihanna

I've been listening to a lot of rihannas older music recently so I decided to do my own wearable interpretation of her look from Who's That Chick.

Test driving #2 Calvin Klein eyeshadows

Currently testing 3 shades if Calvin Klein cosmetics cream eyeshadows. Will review next week! 

W7 Brow Bar review

I've wanted to try W7 makeup for a while as I've heard their blushes are amazing dupes for Benefits Box blushes, although all I can usually find is their nail varnishes which I am a massive fan of.

W7's Brow Bar contains 4 colours, 1 highlight and 4 colours ranging from a light brown to a black, and also contains 2 angled brushes, 1 brow Comb and 3 brow stencils. 

Time trial; 2 weeks

Price paid ; £2.99 

Claims: none on the box but you simply use the stencils and fill in with the powders. 

A little about me...

Hello! My name is Jade, I'm 22 and currently living in Cardiff, the capitol of Wales, United Kingdom.
I have trained as a makeup artist in College on a part time course and have worked for Pixi Cosmetics, Benefit cosmetics and Smashbox Cosmetics, and have worked in New ID photography studio and worked on a few smaller fashion shows. I am a welsh beauty blogger and Cardiff beauty blogger.

I am currently starting back at university studying Art Practice. I love art and traveling and looking at art gallerys. In my spare time I like to read and play computer games.

I love makeup. I can't even describe how much I love it. It's great to express emotion and to show your unique personality. My favourite brands include Illamasqua, Too Faced, Pop Beauty, Revlon, YSL, Guerlain and not forgetting Pixi and Smashbox!  I have very sensitive combination skin so I am cautious with what I try, but I am willing to give anything a go. I do prefer smaller and independent brands but I do love bigger brands as well.
