Body Shop teams up with Lily Cole

Lily Cole recently became ambassador for Body Shop and with that launching a new cruelty free line of makeup! Its limited and will hit UK stores in June. The makeup is pink, girly and filled with the new pearly shaped that dominated the beauty market right now, including a face primer and blush pearls with a pink puff that makes me think of old Hollywood starlets.

Ill be sure to get my friend in UK to get me a haul of this!

Skin79 Star glow powder

I love everything in pearl shape, so naturally Skin79´s Star glow ball powder was a must-see item for me. The pearls where intact after shipping, so I can give a proper review yay!

The pink lid is cute I think, and the box´s light pink and white dots a nice touch

Sweet puff, gives a princess feel

The pearls. The puff is virtually unusable but use a brush and the pearls gives a subtle shimmer. Its perfect as party highlighter and for the cleavage. There is one big problem tough; The smell. It got a strong soap scent that doesn't fade. I'm very sensitive when it comes to scents so I will not be able to use it. Maybe ill try ad a bit essential oil to it, to dampen the soap scent. If you don't mind the soapy smell, then its an all right product

I purchased it from Roseparkshop on eBay for 15.98$ 

More Swatches

Hope you'll find them useful :)

ELF Studio eyeliner/shadow stick Green/Moss

I like the color, its a nice green with gold shimmer

ELF cream blush Vixen

 More purple/plum in real life, I think its great for darker skin tones and for the more dramatic makeup

Mineral Moisturising Lip Tint pink pop

An odd mix between a lip balm and a lipstick. It feels nice on the lips but got a bit of "pharmacy" scent. It feels a bit like a lip balm that doesnt get absorbed. It takes a bit getting used to but as an everyday "lipstick" its ideal

Valentine part 2

As promised, swatches from the ELF Valentine gift :) Sorry about the pics looking kinda weird, my camera and I didn't cooperate. I couldnt catch the color of the eyeliner, but it was like a brownish grey.

Duo powder eyeshadow, black licorice 

The black is very dusty, it kinda reminds me of the coal like dust my friend once brought me from Bali, apart from the silver shimmer of course. Its ideal for smoky eyes! The silver is very metallic, I never before seen a powder silver who actually seemed like silver on the skin

Luscious Liquid Lipstick, Ruby slippers

There isnt much Ruby slippers" about this one im affraid. When something is named "Ruby slippers" one expect a strong red color with glitter, but alas no. The color is more of a blushy pink and its a bit sticky. Its more like a cheap lipgloss than a liquid lipstick. Im never going to be a fan of the tripple L in general and this one was a big let down  

ELF nail polish, Medium red

That's a nail polish worthy of Marylin Monroe! Strong color in that classic sexy tone! Extremely easy to apply!

Apologies for my fingers look - the recent frosty windy days haven't been kind to my hands at all

Studio Cream Blush seductress

Theres a reason I love the creamblushes - they are easy to apply and turns into a nice powdery finish on the skin wich enchance the natural look. The color is red-red but fades in a way that makes it turn slighty pink. Its very close to my natural blush, so its probably going to be my everyday blush from now on

Valentines!

Today my postman finally delivered my ELF valentines package. I haven't swatched yet, but ill do so later tonight! I was so lucky that I got things that I had on my wish list already! The Valentines was from the adorable cutie Gareth, and needless to say Its the best (well and first) Valentines "card" I ever gotten!

Lets open it shall we? 

Wow! How sweet is that! Rose petals!

 Luscious Liquid Lipstick, Ruby slippers

Brightening eyeliner in ash - I cant wait to try it out! 

Cream blush!!! I already have Heartbreaker and Vixen, and Seductress is defiantly the best gift of the lot! 

No look it complete without some chic nail polish

Duo powder eyeshadow in Black licorice. Smoky eyes anyone??

And a little sweet <3
