Elf Mineral Lipglosses: Review

i feel like its time for a review, so i'm going to be reviewing one of my favourite group of lipglosses and these are the elf mineral lipglosses, these cost £3.50 from eyeslipsface.com and in th UK this is the only place you can get them from however in America, i'm pretty certain that they sell them in some drugstores.

i have these in the shades - sorority girl, bare, daring & wild.

from left to right: sorority girl,daring,wild and bare

these glosses are my go-to lipgloss. the texture of them isn't too sticky, but also not too wet as though they would just slip off. the colour range on the website is very wide and new shades are added quite frequently. the glosses are quite small compared to a MAC lipglass but still big enough to carry 6.5g of product.

swatches - from left to right: wild,daring,sorority girl and bare

bare is the only non-shimmery shade that i chose. however, sorority girl is the only colour that has shimmer in it when looking at the tube and also on the lips - its hard to explain!

daring is by far my favourite colour and even though its red its a wearable color for everyday as its a buildable colour. it really gives colour to the face without washing it out.

the only minor problem i've had with these is the fact that because i use the daring lipgloss so much, if you look closely at the top photo, you'll be able to see that on the lid of that one it looks slightly sticky. well this is because they're is a leak of some sort in the top of the lipgloss and this makes it a pain when putting in a bag or makeup bag to take out. sometimes it is fine and others it will leak everywhere.
this is not a big problem though as for only £3.50, you can pick another one up and also, it may only be my one that was faulty.

i would really encourage you to all go and pick up one of these lipglosses for the price that they are as i really don't think that the're mentioned enough on the beauty community.
i love these so when you're next making an order from ELF, check these out - i really recommend all the colours that i have (:

concealer (: -collection 2000 lasting perfection, review!

as i have zero followers at the moment, i feel like its pretty pointless typing this but hopefully someone will wonder across my beautiful blog, and realise that its more than just words (: and if your that someone, i love you! <3

anyway.. back to the review, i find review's pretty helpful and especially when the product is a bargin and this one definatly is! It's £3.99 at superdrug.
this concealer is a real winner for me- its cheap,it has a good constituency,good coverage and everything that can be good about a concealer! 

this is a liquid concealer and looks like this...
it looks the part with sleek black packaging and clear black writing. the colour's are 'alrighttt' there's four colours to choose from as far as i know, very light, light, medium and dark. I have medium, and it's a little on the light side for me, but i don't want to jump on the dark shade because i don't want to look oraaaaange!

it has a normal sponge applicator that is perfect for concealing blemishes, as its big enough to cover 'one' with only one slodge. here it is..

how boring? most of you have more or less seen one of these before, but just in case you haven't i thought i'd give you the pleasue of seeing one of these beautiful things!

however, i do use a concealcer brush to apply this to larger areas and also to under my eyes. i use my MAC 249, now all you 'mad-mac-people' will tell me 'no,it's a large shader brush-for your EYES!?' and they'll all be a bit like 'hello?!?!'  but for me, i like quite a large concealer brush for this product, compared to my 194-which in my opinion is only for precise application. MAC has a plethora of brushes, and they are all very multi-purpose but each to there own.

this is a prize winning concealer for me, and if i was you i'd totally give it a go! :)  for £3.99, can you go wrong ?

well.. 2true colour drench lipglosses :) - RAVE!

as i was mooching round superdrug on a saturday afternoon with my gingerbread latte from costa (tasted amazing,especially as it was freeeeeeezing!) i came across the twirly,tall tower filled with 2true cosmetics. as with many people-we think that the more expensive the make up the better it has to be, well not in this case as all the 2true make up, are £1.95 each or 3 for £5 (i also picked up a concealer- a review will come soon!)

at the moment, i seem to have a problem with lipgloss; i'm buying a hell of a lot! so as i twirled around this tower of makeup, these beauties caught my eye...

up above, this gorgeous colour is in shade 1 :) its a lovely matte bright pink, it gives you amazing coverage. The bright colour really tops off the rest of your make up, and brightens up a natural look, its amazingly pigmented and is buildable at the same time. &for £1.95 you can't go wrong!

up above again, this is in colour 7 (:   this is a lovely coral colour, and has gold sparkles flowing through it. If you look on their website, shade seven and shade one look horrible- seven it looks bright orange and one looks a disgusting barbie purple! but their not, you really need to see them in real life.


these lipglosses are so pigmented and are really worth the trip to your nearest superdrug!
as far as i know-thats the only place you can pick 2true up at the moment, but superdrug's also online remember ! ;) 

hugs,
