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.

A Little Bit Of Lola

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a weekend!

I have started trying another new brand of make up Lola Make up. Who I will admit until recently I had not heard of & tried. 

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 the Marks & 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!

Recently Lola have released a limited edition item to their list of products - Matte Long Lasting Lipsticks. In gorgeous shades too I must add! The velvet cream texture leaves you with a matte finish & gorgeous pop of colour! It has a blend of polymers & emollients in it which provide a smooth appearance & fuller looking lips which I love. It also contains vitamin E & Jojoba oil which mean the lipsticks are non drying unlike some as I sometimes find with some matte finish lipsticks they dry your lips out & just make them look chapped with it on. Which is not a look you want to pull off... The Matte lipsticks come in 16 beautiful colours from nudes, to pretty 
pinks, to bright colours. They is a shade for everyone!  

I picked two gorgeous colour which definitely give you a pop of colour! 

Pink Martini - Shade: 116 - A bright but berry kind of shade.

Red Velvet - Shade: 114 - A bright vibrant red shade

I also got a new mascara but this time not in my usual black shade. This time wait for it...Blue! Yes blue. I have seen people with different colour mascara's & I so want to try it for myself! So I got the Lash Extension mascara. It gives you great length to your lashes with a curling effect. It is a creamy kind of formula which has a stiff bristles which help coat your lashes from root to tip, which give you a dramatic long lash effect. The mascara does also come in Black & Aubergine. 

I feel like the blue mascara would be great for like a festival look or like a summer time kind of vibe. No eye shadow, just a bit of blue mascara to help give you that little pop of colour & a lovely shade of lipstick.

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

The Mary Kay Brand

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope you are all having a lovely relaxing day as Sundays should be. I have definitely had a quiet weekend that's for sure. Which has been most needed. Especially as I still seem to suffering from headaches. It is most annoying. But I am having my eyes tested next weekend to perhaps see if my glasses need changing.So we shall see,I don't know what else it could be...

We all love to find new brands of beauty products to try & as you may have guessed now I love to do that! A new brand I have come across is a brand called Mary Kay. You may not have heard of this brand before as I didn't really know much about it but I am so glad I now have!

Mary Kay Ash set up the brand after retiring from a successful carer in direct sales. She also wrote a few of her books to help women survive in the male dominated business world. So she is one independent, empowering woman & I love women like that! Her first shop opened in 1963 in Texas & since then the company has grown & grown. Over the years Mary Kay also started employing sales teams from around the world to help make the company grow & help women become independent at their own businesses even more! 

There is literally something for everyone in the range of products that they do. They cover make up, skin care, body & sun care, fragrance & even a range for men.

So I started out with a few bits from different collections to see what they were like...

Gel Semi Matte Lipstick - Colours: Always Apricot & Powerful Pink

The gel semi matte lipstick is the first full coverage lipstick by Mary Kay which has a gel like texture to make the colour last for hours. It leaves your lips feeling well moisturised & not at all dry & chapped like some lipsticks do. They come in 8 different shades so there really is a colour for everyone & to suit your moods or season. There are some brighter colours or also more nude colours. I find when you don't wear much make up just by wearing a brighter lip colour it can really make you face seem more fresh & just give it that pop. The lipstick glides on so easily & makes your lips feel soft & supple. Also the packaging is so easy on the eye! It also come with a clear top window which makes it easier to find what shade you are looking for without having to take the top off it. There is nothing worse than hunting through your lipsticks trying to 
find the right colour you are looking for. 

True Dimensions - Colour: Flamenco Red 

Like its name suggests this lipstick does add dimension & contour to your lips. It also adds fullness, plumpness & firmness. Like the Gel semi matte lipstick this does also go on so smoothly & makes your lips feel moisturised. It does also contain advanced skin care ingredients which helps to smooth fine lines. The packaging of the lipstick is like nothing I have seen before too.  You simply push the clear window at the top & the lipstick drops down. It's such a stylish & unique casing. The Flamenco Red shade is slightly pigmented I have found & has a shimmer to it but I love that! It doesn't make the colour as bold & sharp I found.

Be Delighted Limited Edition - Body Mousse & Body Wash

I love bath products I am such a sucker for buying them because I know they will always get used & because I love lovely smelling products to make you smell nice. The Be delighted collection is a sweet scent which I love because my favourite scents are the more sweeter ones. The products from this collection also add a shimmer to your skin which is perfect for those summer months when you have a tan! Not to mention the packaging of this collection with the cute polka dots! 

Enchanted Wish Eau De Toilette 

This collection is such a pleasant one I love it! The perfume is definitely a great everyday use one. With its fruity floral scent. It smells so gorgeous. The fragrance is not overpowering & sharp it is just enchanting. The packaging just like the rest of the Mary Kay products I love! It certainly fits with its name. With its flower shape lid in a lovely purple shade. This collection also now does an limited edition shower gel & body lotion. But sadly I'm not able to use perfumed bath products on my skin because it makes my skin come up in a rash & become itchy. But if they smell anything like the perfume they will smell devine!

Compact Mini & Mineral Cheek Colour Duo - Colour: Ripe Watermelon

It is such a good idea this product! This is a mini compact which opens up to a mirror & also two spaces to put your own choice of products to make up your own mini compact of your favourite lip, eye or cheek colours! It's so handy to put in your hand bag for you to top up your make up & not have to carry every large make up palette or compacts with you. The best thing is you can personalise it & make it yourself by adding whatever colours or product you want to it. So for myself I got the mineral cheek colour duo. Simply because throughout the day I feel like I lose the colour from my face like the blusher & then feel washed out. So I thought it would be handy to have something you could carry a small blusher around in so you can top it up. Although the colours seemed harsh in the duo they weren't that bright. Which I am glad about because I did worry when I saw just how bright the pink was.

I am definitely impressed with this brand. Especially the quality of the products, the colours, scents & not to mention the lovely packaging of them which I think does make a difference because they certainly catch your eye!

Have a lovely rest of your sunday & a productive week!

Just A Make Up Haul

Happy Saturday Everyone! 
The weekend is here woooo. I swear you must all think all she does she live for the weekend & I think I really do. I just leave to have time to myself & to like have nice lay in's, go shopping, catch up with friends & things like that! 

You may have noticed before on my previous posts I love make up! 
Now yes I do love my Mac cosmetics, Benefit & brands like that but I have to say most of my make up collection these days is built up of Make Up Revolution. For anyone who has not heard of this brand where have you been living?! It is a high street brand that is both so affordable & amazing quality! I absolutely love the brand! I have so many eyeshadow palettes, highlighters, lip sticks, brushes & other items from them. When I buy from them I tend to not just be able to purchase the one item I go all out but I justify it to myself because I think the amount I spend on several bits you could purchase like just the one lipstick from Mac. 

So this week I did the terrible thing of taking a peek on their instagram page & that was bad of me because on their page there you get to see peoples actual swatches & things of the shades & products & I love that because I think you actually get to see the product. I have seen that Make Up Revolution had brought out a lip kit along the lines of Kylie Jenner & I have wanted to try them for a while. So that was my main reason for ordering but me being me, one lip kit turned into two & then other bits got added in to the basket & that was it. How did that happen?!

But I am in love with all the pieces I purchased & once again I am amazed at how pigmented the products are & the quality of them. I really cannot explain how much I love their products. 

So I thought I would do a kind of haul with you & show you the pieces I got...

Strobe Highlighter - Gold Addict
I love a highlighter & bronzer & to me you just have to have them as part of your make up collection. This highlighter is such a lovely bronze colour & it is so pigmented & shimmery. It is gorgeous.

Awesome Metals Foil Finish
This mini kit comes with a liquid eye primer, mixing tray & a metals eyeshadow. You drop a small drop of the liquid eye primer into the tray, then put a small bit of the metals colour into the tray & mix it together. Then use your finger or a brush to apply to your eyelids. You can build the colour as much as or as little as you like. I have tried so many of their eyeshadows before but not a mini kit like this. I am a sucker for the more pigmented colours so I thought a foil finish look colour would be so up my street! So I cannot wait to give this a try.

Ultra Cover and Concealer Palette - Light 
This palette I do already have & currently use.I use the palette to conceal under my eyes & then I use their banana powder to blot under my eyes with them. I do not have the lightest skin but I am pretty pale unless I have fake tan on or it's the summer & I get a tan so for me this palette the shades are the perfect tone for my skin. The texture of them is not too heavy on the skin either which I like because I cannot stand heavy products that tend to cake the skin. The palette comes with 8 different shades. So there is something for every if you have pretty light skin. The palette can also be purchased in medium/darker colours too.

Unicorns Heart - Rainbow Highlighter
This product is not actually a make up revolution product it is from the I heart make up range. Which is also on the same website Tam beauty. Along with some other brands. I am a sucker for a highlighter I have to say. I have seen the rainbow highlighter about for some time but haven't tried it but this one comes in a cute heart shape pot & I just loved it. When swatching it you can see the each individual colours & it doesn't look over the top which I will say I did worry about. But you can use just one colour at a time if you wanted to & have a small enough brush to apply it with. The highlighter is SO pigmented it is beautiful! The packaging it comes in is also. It doesn't look cheap of plastic like. 

Retro Luxe Lip Kits
The lip kits I got one from the matte collection & one from the metallic collection. Both come with a lip liner & a liquid lipstick. A few brands now are trying to take the idea from Kylie Jenner's kits but I did not want to spend a fortune of one of those if I wasn't going to really use it. So I went for the cheaper option & have wanted to try these for a while. I picked up the colour We Rule from the metallic collection which is a coppery kind of colour. It is gorgeous! I sure it on someone on the make up revolutions instagram page & fell in love with the colour. I had to have it! Plus I thought it would be such a lovely shade for a night out or like a autumn/winter kind of colour. The other colour I got was the colour Reign from the matte collection. This colour I also saw on their instagram page. This shade is a pink kind of colour.But very slight pinkish. If you have seen the pink plaid Mac cosmetics colour it is kind of like that & I love that colour! The packaging of the liquid lipstick & lip liner is great. It is not cheap looking at all. The liquid lipstick comes with a gold top & it has a normal applicator sponge attached to it also. The liquid is pretty thick & stays on for a great amount of time. They both just glide on well too. They are both such beautiful colours!

Because I ordered around Valentines I was not aware but when I opened up my package in it came a note to say Happy Valentines day & you get a free gift with your order. So inside was a free eyeshadow palette! The palette was from the I heart make up range. The palette is called Fastlove. It is made up of 32 exclusive eyeshadows. 22 pearl colours & 10 matte shades. They are made up of shimmery colours, pearl & matte colours. Which are all gorgeous colours! I really cannot get enough of them! 

So if you haven't checked them out definitely take a look.
You can find a stand in your local superdrug, online at superdrug or on tam beauty.

Have a lovely rest of your weekend!
