Make-up Review x To Buy or Not To Buy...

Okay, so.

i decided to rummage through my very selective makeup box, and show you which i highly recommend, and what not to bother with. Easier than i thought!


First off, we have my all-time favourite pieces of makeup. These are all highly recommended! (excuse the bobbly mattress, i need to use Mrs Thrifty's tip to remove bobbles!

top to bottom;
Model's Own nail varnish in "Buff Pink"
Chit Chat! in "Glittering Rose"
No. 17 Eyeshadows in "DeathRock"
Rimmel London Eyebrow Pencil (w/ brush) in "Hazel"
Avon's Colourtrend Kajal Stick Eyeliner in "Blackest Black"

All mentioned above are my all-time favourites! minus a few which i can't find...

Next, the ones to avoid...

L-R:
Claire's Glitter Black nail varnish
George @ Asda Quick Dry nail varnish in Blue
Avon Perfectwear Foundation in Light

Claire's Glitter Black i found to be very gloopy and stringy within the first few uses.. no matter how much refrigerating or nail varnish drops i put it in, nothing changed!

George @ Asda's varnish separated very, very easily, and i cannot get it to mix at all. Any ideas?! i love it, and don't want to throw it out!  

Avon's Perfectwear Foundation was useless to me. it's like applying milk to your face, it didn't blend at all, and it became flaky and dried out within an hour of application. Bleh!

 Next up:  Lipsticks!  i have a select range of these too.. but these are the best!

L-R on hand = L-R as shown

Avon's Everlasting Lipstick in "Rosy"

Avon's Colourtrent Lipstick in "Vino Disco"

Lush Lip Tint in Snow Fairy

Wet 'n' Wild Lipstick in Very Cherry

My #1 of these four has to be Lush's Lip Tint, such beautiful colour and it's so yummy! though i shouldn't really be eating it.. So addictive though! 

Then we have the two avon lipsticks in joint 2nd, they're both brill, but not as tasty or colourful.. long lasting though!

Finally, in a well-deserved 3rd, a cheap one i bought once i'd run out of my blood red lipstick (which they no longer sold after that!) Wet 'n' Wild in Very Cherry. It's very bright indeed! very hard to wipe it all off, it seems to leave a lasting mark on the lips/around the lips..  not too impressed but i love the colour too much.

Aaand finally! my not-so-secret weapon to removing make-up, baby wipes! 

i have sensitive skin, so these are amazing for my skin, and they're so gentle too!
