Profusion Cosmetics

Hello Everyone,

I am such a sucker for make up! But what girl isn't right? We all couldn't leave without it.

Recently I have found a new brand Profusion Cosmetics. 

Profusion Cosmetics was built in California nearly 20 years ago with a very select few products. Since then they have made it their mission to provide high quality cosmetics at a great price! They now distribute in countries across the world including over here in the U.K. They have professional quality palettes which have the best colours & such a selection! They are also cruelty free.

There are palette's such as blush & bronzers, brows, eye shadow's, contour, eye & cheek. You name it there is a palette for everyone! 

I was looking enough to try 2 different palette's:

Eye & Cheek 

This palette gives you:

*12 eyeshadow's

*4 blush shades

*2 highlighter's 

*1 pro series brush

It contains literally everything you need to create the perfect eye & blusher look. Both the shadows & blushers are silky & so easy to blend. They give a satin & shimmer finish to give you that glowing look. The eyeshadow's are so pigmented & easy to blend! There literally is a shade for everyone whether you're wanting a peachy look, or a nude kind of tone. The finish to the products is just gorgeous!

Pro Eyes - Professional Beauty Book 

This is literally everything you need to create the perfect eye look! I could not believe how much you get in one thing. They have covered it all for you all in one place. The palette contains:

*Pro Eyes Professional beauty book 

*20 Eyeshadow's

*4 Concealer's

*2 Dual brow powder's

*2 Gel liner's

*1 Eyeshadow primer 

*3 Pro series brushes

Just like the eye & cheek palette the shades are so flattering & give you an ultra-flawless finish. The fact not only does it come with a selection of eyeshadow's to choose from but also brow powders, gel liner, eyeshadow primer & even concealer! The number of different looks you can achieve with this palette is a lot. Whether it's a dramatic look or a natural one you want to achieve. Again there is something for everything whatever you want to achieve.

I could not get over the amount of product & the quality of product you get for your money! You really do get a lot for your money & I love that. Anyone who is looking for a palette Profusion will have something for you or whether it be for someone for christmas. They would make the perfect christmas gift for a make up lover & it won't break the bank.

Stylpro Original Review

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well & having a fab week.

It less than 2 weeks till I go on holiday now to Greece & I am super excited! I cannot wait to have a break & get away from here for a while & clear my head. It is definitely needed.

I have been eying up the Stylpro* for a while now. I have seen several other bloggers use it & I saw it when I went to Pro beauty in London at the beginning of the year & toyed with the idea. But I never brought it. So when I was approached by a PR company that I work with to try it. I snapped it up! 

There is nothing more tedious & time consuming than clearing your make up brushes right? But it's one of those jobs you have to do because its hygienic & can give you bad skin. So I try to banish out anything that can cause that. So I try to clean my brushes as often as I can.

I have recently tried using a make up cleaner soap block from make up revolution & I have to say I was impressed with that! It left my brushes so clean & smelling fresh. Foundation brushes can be such a pain to get clean simply because they always seem to get the dirtiest. But the worst part is waiting for them to dry. I can leave them by the window to air & still the next day they are wet. 

So when I heard that the Stylpro not only cleans your brushes but dries them I really was sold! What girl wouldn't be right?

The Stylpro make up brush cleaner was invented by Tom Pellereau who was the winner of the apprentice. The kit contains:

*8 flexible silcone collars (30mm,24mm,19mm,15mm,11mm,9mm,7mm,5mm)
*Stylpro device
*2 x AAA batteries
*Tritan unbreakable bowl neck & collar
*2 x 10ml Stylpro make up brush cleaner sachets

I found it so easier to use! & it really does do what it says on the label it cleans & dries your brushes in seconds!

*Remove the small plastic battery tab & that the batteries are correctly inserted

*Ensure the 8 silicone collars are on the base

*Select a brush thinking of whether it is water soluble/not?

*Select the best fitting collar & push the brush firmly into the collar

*Push the collar into the handle, the square hole.

*Fill the bowl:

-For water soluble make up e.g blusher/bronzer/powder) squeeze a small amount of anti bacterial soap into the bowl & add water to the bowl until it it half the height of the brush

-For non soluble make up e.g foundation, add 10ml-20ml of Stylpro make up brush cleanser depending on the brush size. Ensure the cleanser is less than half the height of the brush

*Dunk the brush into the liquid up & down

*Work liquid into the bristles & repeat for 5 seconds

*After 5 seconds gently push the brush down in the bowl & switch on the Stylpro. The brush will spin rapidly. Slowly move the brush up & down for 10 seconds

*After 10 seconds lift the spinning brush out of the liquid. Leave it out of it spinning for 10 seconds

*If after this time the brush it not as dry as you like it repeat the last step

It may sound abit technical but I can do it anyone can. It is super easy!

QPC Product Reviews

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all week & having a good week?

This week seems to be another hard week I am literally having to take every day as it comes at the moment & try to keep myself busy from letting my mind wander. I'm not one for talking about my personal issues on my social media so I won't go into details with that.

I've recently come across a brand on Instagram - QPC UK (Quest Personal Care & Cosmetics Company). They are one of the beauty industries largest manufacturers of personal care products. They cover a wide range of products such as nails, cosmetics, gift sets, lip care, hair care, dental hygiene are just to name a few of the products. The products are animal cruelty free which I love.

Sheet face masks have become one of my favourite beauty products & QPC have such a collection of them. From vitamin C, to tea tree nose pore strips. There is something for every skin type going.

I got to try though the Collagen sheet masks which come as a pack of 2. The masks are enriched with Collagen which help to increase the skin's elasticity, hydrate the skin & also brighten the skins appearance. They are so easy to use & leave your skin feeling amazing! All you do to use them is:

*Remove any make up & cleanse your skin

*Remove the mask from the packet

*Apply the mask over the mask ensuring to soothe it to the face

*Leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes

*Remove the mask from the face & rub in any remaining product.

The other two products I got were make up related products as I have a lot of skin care products un-started at the minute.

Make up blending sponge 
We all love a blending sponge, lets face it we all have one in our make up bag right? I always find they come in such good use. I always use them for blending my concealer or applying a setting powder. This one is the perfect size for that. The sponge is latex free, super soft & perfect for contouring, highlighting or blending. They can be used wet or dry but I always tend to use mine dry. 

Make up brush cleaning pad

One of the most important things is to ensure your make up brushes are clean. It can cause your skin to flare up causing spots. So it it essential. What easier way to clean make up brushes than use this cleaning pad. It is designed to help you clean every make up brush possible & blending sponges. The fact it is made out of silicon means it is easy to wash off & dry. To use it all you do is:

*Place your fingers in the holder 
*Dampen the brush you want to clean & use a make up cleaner soap if you wish
*Clean the brush in a circular movement & rinse the brush
*Do this till the brush is clean & the water runs clear
*Lay the brush out to dry

I am so impressed with all these products & the quality of them.
I cannot wait to get my hands on more of the products from QPC.

Christmas Sparkles

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you are all well & having a fab week.
The countdown to christmas has begun & already the days are flying by & christmas day is nearly here.
I literally do not know where time goes or is that just me?!

One of the best things about Christmas is all the glitter you can get away with especially when it comes to make up looks! You can apply as much glitter to your eye lids as you like & look sassy as.

I have been looking for a eyeshadow palette which includes glitter eye shadows but it can be tricky to find one that gives you just that. All of them seem to be just basic shades or pigmented colours. 

So when I come across Jolie Beauty I was very happy!
Jolie Beauty is based in the UK, everything they sell is cruelty free, not tested on animals & they favour vegan products where they possibly can. They also regularly donate to animal charities & help promote awareness towards animal testing. Which I think there isn't enough brands out there that do anything like this. It is literally unheard of!

Jolie beauty sell make up brushes, which are made of synthetic hair not mink or animal hair. They also sell palettes, lip sticks, eyelashes, highlighters, contour kits & so many other different make up products. You literally are spoilt for choice!

The eyeshadow palettes they do are literally gorgeous! They cover so many different shades. Whether it be glitter or matte.

So I picked the Luxe Glitter Palette which comes with 5 eye glitters & 5 matte shades. So you can use both the matte & the glitter shades to create the perfect christmas eye make up look.

The shades go from a pale pink all the way into a deep pink rust. Then each matte shades has a glitter colour to match it! The eyeshadows are even water resistant! The colours are so pigmented & such amazing quality I literally cannot get enough of them!

Each one is pigmented & keeps your lips feeling soft, leaves them with a long lasting colour & is also packed with vitamins. 

Kat Von D Setting Powder - Shade:Translucent 

I am a fan of setting powder, at the moment I use banana powder when setting make up or a setting spray. This setting powder from Kat Von D is a silky non drying powder which contains micro blurring technology which softly minimises pores to give you that perfect flawless finish. It suits any skin tones which is the great thing.

Kat Von D Sinner Perfume

Sinner is the sweet fragrance, it has a bouquet of Jasmine & orange blossom with notes of vanilla, mandarin & plum. I didn't know what to expect as the bottle makes it look quite dark but the scent is just gorgeous.It's a sweet scent & is long lasting.

Buxom Full On Lip Polish - Shade: Dolly

Dolly is the most popular shade from Buxom. It makes your lips tingle, shimmer & shine. The colour is pretty pigmented but helps to make your lips look fuller & plumper. It is also packed with vitamin A & E. It is such a gorgeous nude shade perfect for everyday wear.

Buxom Lash Mascara - Shade: Blackest Black

I am such a sucker for a great mascara. So I was very pleased to see a new mascara in with this month's subscription. This mascara is said to transfer your lashes immediately as it dramatically add volume to your lashes. It is also packed with vitamins, it's clump resistant, it darkens, lengthens, curls & separates your lashes. It is also an hourglass shape wand to help coat your lashes from root to tip.

As you can see this months selection is incredible! So many great products to try not to mention what brands they are for. I cannot rate them enough.

A Little Bit Of Lola - Face Talk

Hello Everyone!

Happy Wednesday! Hope you are all having a good week.

In one of my previous posts you may remember me talking about some new make up products that I had been trying from Lola Make Up. If you didn't see that post then you will find it on the 16th July I posted it & I showed the lipsticks & Mascara I tried from them. For those of you who don't know:

Lola Make up by purse was designed in Britain by a team of beauty experts & make up artists. Lola is a cruelty free brand who give you a quality make up product! Lola helps giving you tutorials via social media to create amazing make up looks by providing professional products & tools. 

You can try & purchase Lola make up from:

Marks & Spencers - It is available online & in 63 stores in theMarks & Spencers beauty halls across the UK including city centre stores like: 

*London, Oxford Street 
*Birmingham 
*Dublin
*Liverpool
*Leeds
*Northampton 
*Manchester

They literally do every kind of make up item you could want from eyeshadows, to lipsticks, to lip glosses, to nail varnishes & treatments, to false eye lashes. You name it Lola literally covers it!

So this month I have got two other new products to try from Lola Make up. Which are probably one of the most important products of make up of all: Foundation & Pressed Powder. Without these products you could not achieve the perfect flawless make up look. 

Finding a decent foundation is very hard I have to say, I am pretty fussy when it comes to finding the right one for me because I find some leave my skin a bit oily & shiny. I do not like that look. Not only that but some foundations I think are so thick & I do not like them simply because I worry what it does to your skin. It will clog your pores up completely over time so I try not to wear such thick textured foundations. But everyone is different. Some people like 
these because they have scars from acne or something so for them it covers them up. So everyone is after something different when it comes to foundations.

I got the Matte long lasting foundation in shade: R040 
I choose this one because I did want something that gives a medium - high coverage to help conceal blemishes & imperfections whilst still giving a natural glow to your skin. Also something that minimising the look of pores because some foundations can make pores look obvious. The great thing about this foundation is that it has oil absorbing properties which minimise the shine it gives to your skin. 

When I first tried this foundation I did find it was definitely thicker than what I am used to using. But I knew that when I chose it because it does state it is a medium/high coverage. To me it is more of a high coverage than a medium. But I was happy with the finish it gave to my skin. It didn't look caked on which I was worried it might do. It did also tend to last on my skin too but I don't think I would use this for my day to day foundation simply because for me it's too of a high consistency.

The other product I got was the: Matte Silky Finish Pressed Powder in shade: B012.
I am not normally one for pressed powder but I do like to have a decent one just in case I want to create that more matte finish make up look. It is always a handy make up product to have in your make up bag. Again I chose a matte finish product because I do not like a shiny look to your make up & prefer the matte finish. This powder is perfect for any skin type, it gives a flawless finish to your skin & is also oil free so it does not become oily on your skin. The powder is made up of micro-fine powders which let your skin breathe while oil absorbing. It is a weightless, smooth, breathable texture which helps to balance your skins tone & help to reduce the appearance of pores. It also contains SPF10 to protect against photo ageing. 

The powder also comes in a compact which is handy to just pop in your bag & carry around. Which is great because it's not a huge compact it's the perfect size to carry around with you & top up when you need to. I don't normally use powders so unlike foundations I can't really compare this powder to another. But from when I have used it the powder is definitely weightless & not heavy on your skin & glides on perfectly over the top of foundation. 

So if you are looking for a new foundation, powder, or even a new make up brand to try them check out Lola. 

You can also use the discount code: lottielola10 to get 10% off!

B Make Up Haul

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great week & you have been enjoying the weather?
It is so typical that come the weekend it decides to be abit grey, gloomy & rain though doesn't it.
It really is always the way but never mind least I still get some time to myself & chill that's the main thing.

Recently I have been trying out a new make up brand which I haven't ever tried before. Most of my make up I purchase is high street brands simply because I feel like there are some really great quality high street brands on the market which means you don't have to pay crazy money for make up. I love going to like Superdrug or boots because I always come out with a selection of different make up products! It really is true you cannot come out of there with just one thing.

B make up has just returned to the market. It has been reformulated & the packaging has been changed to give it a fab new update. B make up are exclusive to one of my favourite stores on the high street Superdrug. They are 100% vegan & cruelty free! I could not get over the huge range of make up that they have to offer! Whether its foundation, primer, lip colours, eye shadows, pigments, anything you name it they have it in their new ranges.They have even teamed up with celebrity make up artist Cassie Lomas to create a range. Which contain an amazing illuminator, & other products!

The bits I have had to try are quite a lot of different products so I thought what a better way than to show you by doing like a haul of them.

Colour Correcting Flawless Duo Concealer - £6.99

The flawless duo concealer comes in a little compact perfect for carrying around in your bag with you on the go. The concealer helps to conceal & correct the appearance of imperfections & even out skin tones. I got the colour correcting duo version as I have not got a colour correcting concealer. 

Purple - Is used to brighten up a dull complexion. It is great for cancelling out any yellow under tones. 

Green - Is used to help neutralise any spots or discolouration to the skin. It is best used as a little amount & not caked on. I do also find it best to apply a natural skin colour concealer over the top after too. 

The texture of the concealer is not too thick & cake like on your




skin. I don't like really heavy products on my skin especially when it comes to products like concealers or foundations. So I found this one great!

Sculpt & Highlight Contour Kit - £8.99  

Like the colour correcting duo concealer this is another perfect size compact which is handy to carry around with you. The kit comes in both Light/Medium or Medium/Dark. I absolutely love the whole contour & highlight process. It can make a face shape change & look great instantly. This kit is a powder texture which I find nice & light. It's a great way of defining & highlighting your features of your face. The highlight is a gorgeous shimmery shade! I am such a sucker for a good highlighter.

Illuminating Radiance Pen (Nude) - £7.99

This pen is like my new go to product! I love it.
It helps to add radiance to your skin in one instance. It is such  a lightweight formula product which is easy to apply, it helps to cover dark circles, even skin tone & can also be used to help highlight areas of the face if you want to aswell. It gives you skin an instant glowy, dewy look. It has a brush effect tip aswell which makes it nice & easy to apply. Such a great retouch make up product to have while you are on the go.

Lip Corrector - £4.99

This is a product I have never really tried before. It helps to refine the shape of your lips & to also avoid lipstick bleeding. It can also be used to conceal imperfections. So if you are looking for a product to help define your lip shape more this is perfect for you. It comes in a retractable pen like casing which is easy to wind up & dow & apply. I haven't used this product as much as the others yet.

Long Wear Brow Cream (Dark Brown) - £5.99

I always used to be a sucker for the Beverley Hills Anastasia brow pomade. But after a while other brands started to bring out there own version at half the price. Which I found just as good. To me having a good brow is a must have. This brow cream helps to create the perfect brow. It is a smudge resistant formula which helps define your brows which allows you to fill in sparse areas. It lasts all day so you don't have to worry about reapplying it. 

Pigment (Indiego) - £4.99 

They have several different uses. You can use them for an eye shadow colour to create a shimmery look, you can mix them with an illuminator to make a creamy style highlighter, or you can add a drop of water to them & create a liquid eyeliner. They have so many great uses! I have only ever really used them for a eye colour but I will definitely try some of the other uses for them. The shade Indiego is a perfect kind of shade for creating a smoky eye effect. It's a gorgeous grey, silvery shimmery colour. 

Velvet Matte Lipstick - Shade: Frow/Oohlala/Jinxed - £6.99

The velvet matte lipstick come in 12 gorgeous shades. So whatever kind of colour you like there is something for everyone. They contain Shea Butter which leave your lips feeling soft. I normally find that Matte lipsticks tend to dry my lips out & leave them looking kind of chapped but these leave them feeling hydrated. They are such a lovely formula! The shades I got are:

Jinxed - A brown pinkish tint colour

Frow - A deep pink with brown undertones 

Oohlala - A pale nude kind of shade which looks almost glossy

Left: oohlala 

Middle jinxed

Right frow

Velvet Matte Liquid Lips - Shade: Lulu/1995/In the Buff - £6.99

The velvet matte liquid lips come in 8 different shades. So like the lipsticks there is a shade for everyone! Some glosses I find to be pretty sticky but these are non sticky, non drying texture. So it leaves your lips feeling soft & smooth. They are also leave a long lasting colour. The shades I got are:

In the buff - Brown nudey kind of colour

1995 - A dark brown shade perfect for the autumn/winter

Lulu - A vibrant pink shade

               Left to right: in the buff, lulu, 1995

Then from the Cassie Lomas collection:

Sheer Liquid Illuminator - £9.99

Illuminator is the best product to make your skin look more dewy or glowing. It can make such a difference to your appearance of your skin. You can apply it all over your skin first before applying foundation, or you can wear it on its own, or add it to your foundation & apply it all over your face at the same time just to give your skin that healthy glow. There are so many different ways to wear it & apply it. This one from B make up also comes with like a pump built in to the packaging to make it easier to apply & make sure you don't get too much wastage.

Whipped Bronzer - £8.99

A decent bronzer is always my go to in the summer or when I have a decent tan to me. It helps to give you that more sun kissed look, can help define the shape of your face too. This bronzer is great because it is a light texture it is light wear to wear. You can use the bronzer to contour, add definition to the eyes by applying a small amount of bronzer to the lower lid & blend into the socket of the eye. You can also apply it lightly all over the face to give it that sun kissed glow.

Pigment - Super model Sheen - £4.99

I have quite a few different pigments from Mac & also make up revolution pigments. They have several different uses. You can use them for an eye shadow colour to create a shimmery look, you can mix them with an illuminator to make a creamy style highlighter, or you can add a drop of water to them & create a liquid eyeliner. They have so many great uses! I have only ever really used them for a eye colour but I will definitely try some of the other uses for them. The shade Super Model sheen is a gorgeous shimmery pink kind of tone. The colour is so pigmented I love it! There are 3 other lovely colours in this Cassie Lomas pigments too. It is such a great product to build up & use.

I have to say the quality of the B make up products are amazing. I cannot get over the amount of products they offer, the quality & also the number of shades they do. They really do something for everyone & not to mention the price. They are such an affordable brand. I have to say these could become one of my favourites high street make up brands!

I definitely recommend checking them out in your nearest Superdrug or online. All the product description headings are linked to the products on the Superdrug website just to make you life easier in finding them :)

Take care
