Studio 10 | Skin Perfecting Palettes

 Hi everyone, so glad to be back at my computer desk, working on another blog piece to share with all my lovely followers..

 

Todays brand im going to be talking about is called Studio 10, who focus on an innovative range of age perfecting makeup products that are created to help give women the ability to look more youthful and feel more confident in their own skin.

 

Although this brand aims their products at women aged 30+, they still have other amazing products suitable for anyone of any age, and I was lucky enough to be sent two palettes to try out myself.

 

I received the Age Defy Skin Perfector palette and the Visible Lift I-Definer palette, both of these palettes cost £32 each from the Studio 10 website (CLICK HERE).

 

I used both palettes for my face even though the I-Definer palette is created for the eyes, the products also work great to contour and highlight the face, so its a win win!

 

Age Defy Skin Perfector palette

 

 

I am in LOVE with this palette, it is my go-to palette for prepping my face for foundation, there are multiple products in this palette which help certain problems with my skin, the green corrector I use for my red patches on my skin which I sometimes get, especially during bad skin break outs and under my eyes, the two concealers are so thick and creamy and give a really impressive coverage, however the second concealer in this palette is way to dark for my skin tone but the first one is perfect so as you can see from the photo I am defiantly getting some good use out of that one.

 

Although you don't get a massive amount of each product in this palette, you don't need to as a little goes a long way with these products, I've had these palettes for about two months and I use them daily and still haven't hit the pan yet!

 

10 out of 10 from me and would highly recommend investing in this palette to see how good it is for yourself :-)

 

Visible Lift I-Define palette

 

 

I like this palette as all the products can be used for multiple purposes, I use a lot of these products daily such as using the neutralise powder to set my under eye concealer and the highlighter to highlight under my brow bone to create a sharp, clean finish to my eye makeup.

 

I am not as in love with this palette as I am with the Skin Perfector palette, however it is perfect for anyone who prefers to use powder makeup rather than creams or liquids and due to my dry skin, I find that liquids work better with me.

 

This palette for me personally is only a 5/10 as I believe it would benefit the older range of women more.

 

So, want to see the results from these palettes..

 

 

As you can see the products from the Skin Perfector palette have blended like a dream and covered all my imperfections as well as any dark areas. Super impressed with the results and I don't look half dead anymore, yayyyyyyy!

 

 

I finished my makeup and look.. zero imperfections!

 

Even if you didn't want to create a dramatic makeup look you could still use the products in the two palettes to cover up any blemishes that you may want to hide, you wouldn't even have to apply foundation over the top if you were going for a more natural look. Studio 10 products are suitable for any women wanting to create any look.

 

Thank you to Studio 10 for letting me experiment with your fantastic products & thank you to my followers for reading, hope you enjoyed.

 

See you soon!

Lots of love.

 



W7 Makeup | First Impressions

I have never tried any products from the makeup brand W7, but that all changed this week, and lets just thank god I discovered this brand, W7 sell affordable and high quality makeup, which ticks all my boxes, and today I'm here to review some of there products for you!

 

 

I received all the products above, and immediately I noticed the cruelty free logo on the side of the 'Get Set Eyeshadow base', which made me a very happy bunny, as I am a hugeeeeeee supporter of cruelty free brands. I sometimes buy/order a product without knowing if there products are tested on animals or not, but if that is the case, I will give the product to a family member or friend, therefore, I really try my best to stick to my cruelty free rule!

 

Now onto the products, if you would like to visit the W7 website, where all products in this post can be found, please click HERE

 

10 out of 10 Eye Shadow Palette: This palette is amazing for the price, at just £5.95, this palette includes 10 shades that are perfect for anyone. I would highly recommend this palette, but especially to people who are just starting out with makeup and are wanting to build up there collection, as it is affordable and includes a variety of shades.

 

 

 

The top eye colours I would use to create a very dramatic smoky eye, as for the bottom colours, I would use these to go for a more neutral eye look. my favourite colour from this palette is the middle bronze/gold colour on the bottom, to me, this colour works the best and is the most easiest to blend in and build up.

I am not a big fan of the blue and purple shades in this palette, I am not a big fan of blue or purple eye makeup altogether, but these colours just don't seem to blend in as well and take a lot of building up to get the colour pigmented, however the middle top colour (dark grey/black) is okay for working into the crease and is build able. I would rate this palette a 7/10 and will defiantly keep and eye out on the other 10 out of 10 palettes to maybe try out soon.

 

Butter Kiss Lipstick: This lipstick is in the colour red light. I love this lipstick, its got a nice creamy texture to it, however, I would say it could be used as more of a tinted lip gloss, but if you build up onto it, you will be able to create a more pigmented lip colour. The fact this lipstick is more of a lip gloss doesn't change my positive opinion on this product, I still really like this lipstick to create a natural makeup look, but with a bit of colour on the lips. I am very curious to try out the other shades, as I am so impressed with this one. 9/10.

 

 

Catwalk Concealer: This is the most disappointing product of them all, even though the concealer blends in very well and has a nice creamy texture, the shade is way to dark for my pale complexion. This is the lightest shade they do, the colour looks darker in person compared to the photo. This product is not use able for my skin tone, however, I will keep it to use for a day when I have fake tan on and want to apply makeup over the top, as I think this would be more suited to people with more of a tan than my pale self. If this concealer was more lighter, it would be perfect, the product blends in so well and leaves a lovely finish to your skin. 6/10.

 

Get Set Eye Shadow Base: I am loving this product so much, for a drugstore product, it works so well for me. The colour of this eye base is matte white, you can build up the product if you need to but is also great for a thin layer. This product blends in very well, however, my only fault is that it can make the eye shadow a bit more harder to blend in, I would leave the eye base to dry for a few minutes before applying an eye shadow over the top, apart from that, I really do love this product, I use it every time I do my eye makeup now and will defiantly be re-purchasing once I run out! If you are looking for a cheap but good quality eye base, give this a go and it wont let you down! 10/10.

 

I had so much fun trying these products out, I will certainly be trying more W7 products in the future and I hope I have convinced you to take a look to!

 

Thank you for reading and thank you to the team at W7 for helping me discover such an awesome brand.

 

 

 

MUA Cosmetics Haul

Hi Ladies!

Today I have a small haul of makeup to show you, if you are a fan of good quality makeup at cheap prices then read on as this brand is one of the cheapest makeup brands I have come across. The brand is called MUA (Make Up Academy Cosmetics) and is has such a huge variety of products from lipstick to brushes to custom palettes.

At the moment there website are doing a free shipping deal for people who spend over £30 in one order so get that deal whilst you can, plus they also ship internationally which is a bonus!

So before I get started if you cant be bothered to read on then here is the website link, I hope you all find this website useful.. http://www.muastore.co.uk/

 

Lip Products

 

 

Scarlet Siren

 

Totally Nude

 

Wild Berry

 

These are the three shades I chose to try out and they had there benefits and disadvantages, they are great in the sense that they are very pigmented but the texture however is very much play-doe like, the texture is so dry that I have to more or less everytime use a lip brush to apply the product. However once on your lips the product looks fine and if you find that your lips look dry you can always apply a lipgloss over the top or mix another lipstick in with it which is what I do with the Wild Berry and Scarlet Siren.

 

Here is a swatch of the three shades:

 

 

As you can see the colours show up pretty impressive and for £1 each you could afford to buy them all and if you dont like them you wont have wasted to much money.

 

Eye Products

 

 

I got two eyeshadows to try out as they were also only £1 each. They are so good for the price they are at, there super pigmented and would suit any skin tone, the Matt eyeshadow is very dark and would create such a dramatic gothic look, as for the Pearl shade this one works ace as a base for your eyeshadow as it highlights the lids making them pop.

 

I do have other products from this brand but haven't had much chance to try them out so I haven't included them, although I will write a couple of sentences about each product and what I think of them so far:

 

Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter - I loved the look of this product but when it came to me I saw that it was far to shimmery for my liking, I have very pale skin so anything shimmery makes me look a bit like an orange clown! I wasn't impressed with that, however if you apply a small amount you can get away with not having to much shimmer to your look. This costs £3.

Pro-Base Prime And Conceal - This product is a concealer for your eyes which gets rid of any redness using the yellow tones that it has, this product is good, I don't really use eye primer a lot so I dont know what to expect but then again I also dont wear a lot of eyeshadow, Mainly only when Im going out. This cost £1.50

F6 Blusher & Contouring Brush - This brush I mainly use for bronzer, blusher and highlighter. I like this brush however its not the best, as I use it for my cheeks and it doesn't blend the product in as well as I would like it to. This cost £3

L1 Lip Brush - This brush is amazing! For the price of the brush its such good quality, its just the right size for my lips and is such a smooth brush. Its a nice shape and keeps its shape no matter how much you use it. It applys lipstick more accuratly and evenly. The cool thing about this brush is that the handle breaks off so that you can use the bottom of it as a lid so you dont get the brush dirty, and its handy to put in your purse! This was only £1.50 and ill happily say it was worth the little amount I paid and I would buy more of them in the future.
