Avon supershock mascara review:

Hey you! I'm back with another review.




 

Ignore my unplucked eyebrows (pesky things), just quickly snapped a pic for you guys so you can see the results! This is after a few coats, most of the time I'll spend longer applying it.

I got this in that party gift set I purchased a little while ago, but I have used it a lot in the past. Here are my personal thoughts on the product:

  • Works better after its been open a month or so in my opinion, seems to thicken slightly making it grip the lashes better and coat them even more.
  • Its definitely a buildable mascara as you can create a natural look with this or build it up for more drama, which is something I like to do, I love dramatic lashes. I get the most from it when I build it up. 
  • It separates lashes well, doesn't get too clumpy at all, but if it does its easy to correct.
  • Its good for both length and volume if you build it up. Although I do have long lashes naturally my tips are blonde so lashings of this is a must!
  • The brush is rather big and bulky, but I don't have any problems when using it.
  • I love it, this gets an 8/10 from me.

see you all soon with more reviews,

Barry M natural glow palette review:

Hey guys! How are you all doing? a while back I picked up three of the Barry M palette's. Today I'm going to do a review on the natural glow version.


I've put together some swatches for you. They aren't the best quality, but I'm sure you will get a good idea of the colours. 


These are the shimmery colours, and they are quite creamy. I was able to keep them natural for day time or work, or build them up a bit more to create a smokey eyed look for night time or special events. They are quite pigmented  especially when you build them up, and I got a good colour pay off. They are very wearable, and you can create different looks. They mix and match well.




And here are the two matte eye shadows and the blush. These are quite powdery, but the white makes a good base to build colour on. The light brown colour isn't really my cup of tea, so I tend to use this one less than the others.

The blush is very natural, I had to build this up on my hand so you could see it. Its not that shimmery when applied to your cheeks, its very subtle and pretty. Perfect if you want a natural looking blush. Not usually my type of blush (tend to go for one a little darker and more obvious), but I wore it for work a couple of times to create a natural glow. You definitely don't have to worry about over doing this blush, you can never put on too much. 

I enjoy using this palette and will continue to use it. The colours are perfect for the summer months. The packaging is nice yet simple. I will give this palette a 9/10. It's purse friendly, and fun to use. 

See you all soon with more reviews. Let me know if you have used these palettes and how they worked for you,

Barry M haul:

Yay it came, and it brightened up my day a little bit seeing my packages waiting for me!


  • So first up I got the Andrea Fulerton triple action undercoat. I haven't tried this before, was a spur of the moment thing when choosing an undercoat
  • Next up we have another gelly shine nail paint in plum (my third one)
  • I spotted the matte nail paint and was instantly attracted to crush (I think that's the colour) its such a pretty dark winter colour, I love these types for the colder months
  • I have three of the normal lip paints, and wanted to try an ultra moisturising version. I love dark vampy lips for winter also, and spotted one in a cranberry colour. Will go well with the matte nail paint. Love the pink packaging too
  • Got the two nail paints and lip Paint in a 3 for 2 offer 


  • I saw that these palettes not long ago, and thought I need to try these. Superdrug were doing a 3 for 2 on the website, so I picked up all three. This meant I got one completely free, and with free delivery over £10 I couldn't be more happy. Cant wait to give these a go, the colours look lovely as well.  Love the fact that they contain a blusher, so I have three lovely blushers to try out 








Excited to try everything, going to have a ball. I love Barry M in general, takes me back to a fashion show I went to in my teens! 

I shall be back soon with other reviews that I have lined up, including the Garnier Micellar water, and Miss Sporty foundation. I'm hoping to try out some other brands and branch out a bit, there are many items I would love to purchase, so they will be on my wishlist.
