Autumn Eyeshadows

Berry coloured makeup, whether it be for your lips, eyes or cheeks, has been one of this autumns top make-up trends. I have experimented with different purple hued lipsticks and painted my nails every shade of berry nail polish but my eyeshadow range has stayed pretty neutral, until now!

I have picked up a few purple eyeshadows in the last month in the hopes that I would change up my neutral coloured eye makeup for a autumnal look.

I love the Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 Hr cream eyeshadows and I have a few in my collection. One of my favourite shades is Metallic Pomegranate. I would describe this as a pink toned burgundy with tiny gold glitters. The pigmentation is brilliant and these Colour Tattoo's never crease on my eyes. Metallic Pomegranate is my go to berry eyeshadow when i am doing my makeup in a hurry but want to look like I've actually made an effort. The colour in the picture above does not do the true colour of the eyeshadow justice.

I am a big fan of Avon Makeup and after becoming an Avon rep I made a big order for myself. I picked this Avon Eyshadow quad in Purple Haze which contains four highly pigmented eyeshadows that can create the perfect purple berry eye look. This eyeshadow quad is perfect for begginers that are looking to add a little colour to their everyday look. Each colour has a number which helps the user apply the eyeshadow. This quad contains:

1. A highlight shade 

2. An all over lid colour 

3. Crease shade 

4. Eyeliner shade

Sleek are a makeup brand that is available from Superdrug stores and I highly rate this brand! There products are perfectly pigmented and come in a wide range of colours. I picked up this Sleek Mineral Based eyeshadow palette in Vintage Romance on my latest shopping trip and fell in love! This palette is THE Autumn Pallete, it contains 12 eyeshadows, 11 metallic shades and 1 matte shade. I am going to do a full review on this palette so keep looking out for that. The Palette has 4 berry shades amongst some other beautiful autumn colours. Check out the shades:

A Vow in Venice, Marry in Monte Carlo, Honeymoon in Hollywood and bliss in. Barcelona.

Could you recommend any other berry eyeshadows that you rate for autumn?

Products worth the hype

I love reading beauty blogs and being drawn into the hype of a product! The feeling of finally owning that hyped up product is one of my favourite feelings in the world. I am crazy though to be honest, when I read an amazing review of a product, all I can think about is that product, until I have it in my make-up collection! These are a few products that are worth the hype, with a few that are not thrown in.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 HR: 

I have the shades, On and on Bronze, Eternal Gold and Metallic Pomegranate. These are amazing! For a high street product, the quality of these cream eyeshadows are incredible. They last a long time on the lid, do not crease, super pigmented and versatile. The colour range is beautiful and I need to get my hands on more shades. 

Revlon Lip Butters: 

I have the colours, candy apple, sorbet and strawberry shortcake. There is so much hype surrounding these but I wasn't 100% convinced! I had always considered myself a matte lipstick girl and these never really tickled my fancy. But... I watched Essiebutton on YouTube and she was wearing the most loveliest shade of red and it turned out to be the Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple. I bought this one first and I was hooked! My new favourite lip colour of the moment is Strawberry shortcake which is light pink. These lip butters are sheer but very pigmented and you should try these! 

Maybelline Forever Strong Super Stay 7 day: 

I own Mint for Life and Hot Salsa. I was looking for the perfect mint this summer and a blogger recommended Mint for Life. This shade is perfect and has probably been my most worn nail polish of the summer! My favourite part about this nail polish is that it claims to last 7 days and...it does! I also picked up Hot Salsa which is a beautiful red toned pink which i think is a shade that can be rocked all year round and the quality is just as good as Mint for life. The colour range is pretty good and I am going to be buying more polishes from this range! 

Barry M High Shine Gellys: 

I have Satsuma, Grapefruit, Watermelon and Blueberry. Everyone and their cat loves these gel based nail polishes and I am know different! The colour range is amazing and they are forever bringing out new shades. The quality and the finish of these nail polishes are perfect and I am a big fan! I secretly want to own the whole colour collection! Satsuma and Blueberry are spring and summer colours but I can not wait to start wearing watermelon again. 

I have 2 products that are not worth the hype and attention. 

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers: 

I have the shade Luna but after trying this shade I am reluctant to try any of the others. The formula did not agree with me and it made my lips look dry, bitty and glossy all in one. I'm not a big fan of the colour range either to be honest and I don't think I'll be purchasing anymore. 

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in light 2:

I have heard great things about this concealer and how much everyone loves it and it is the best! But... It's not for me! It's very drying on my skin and makes me look worse after using it. The colour is slightly too orange for my skin tone and it just does nothing for me! Sorry Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer lovers!
