Professional Beauty Expo London 24th and 25th February



Once again me and my girls Domini and Kerrie-Anne will be attending this event on the 24th February. 
We have all attended this on previous occasions and loved it. Last year was my first time and I was sooo unaware of what it would be like and how much I would spend! People even took suitcases! I think that is the plan of action this year for me. I loved it and I am very excited for this year. I will be taking snaps of the day and will post them on that day or the 25th February. Watch this space. :) Below is a list of some of the brands I cannot wait to see.

MAC Makeup and Bare Minerals

Here are a few swatches. I don't have a brilliant camera so the colours aren't brilliant so I am sorry :(
Once I buy my camera I will upload pictures and videos of how my makeup looked when using this products.

So I will start with the MAC makeup -


MAC Makeup
From right to left.
Dazzle Me eye shadow - Stubborn Brown eye liner - Mulch eye shadow

I wrote a comment on this prior to trying the product. NEVER do that! I wasn't very happy with the swatch but when  you do your makeup and use these to do eye makeup with its amazing! All three colours complement them self's. I would do my makeup around 8am and it would last ALL day long right up until I would go to bed. The mascara that came in this collection is possibly the best mascara I have ever purchased! It curls my eye lashes like nothing has eve before. I don't use a eye lash curler and with this mascara I don't think you'd need it, and if you did use it, it would look like you had eye lash extensions on. 
Bare Minerals makeup
Apricot lip gloss - Prime Time brightening eyelid primer - Round the clock waterproof eyeline 10pm - Zany eye shadow - Exquisite radiance blusher.

The best makeup I have purchased! The eyelid primer add a shimmer to the eye lid which lasts all day long and just softens the eyelids. The lip gloss isn't amazing but it's impossible to stay on whilst your eating or drinking but I love the brush of it, it's so soft. The best past about more expensive/better quality eyeliners is that they LAST, they don't smudge or create sleepy dust in your eye and it looks perfect all day long. Today I used the exquisite radiance blusher and the zany eye shadow on my eyes today and it looked so lovely. The shimmer and glitter pigment just opens the eye up and adds a nice touch to the eye. Overall I love them!
  


This collection was purchased from the MAC Cosmetics website at £36 with free P&P.
This came with a MAC 275SE angle eye shadow brush which is so soft and very high quality.  As it's an angle brush it helps to create the perfect arch when doing your eyes. I also use this to blend colours if I used two for one look.
This collection was purchase from the Debenhams website for £36 with free P&P.      
This came with a precision eye and cheek brush which is so handy to use when doing eyes and a little bit of shadow falls to the cheek and I quickly change sides to brush away the excess. The best thing I love about it is that I can feel the quality of the brush with the softness. the cheek side is angled so when applying blusher it gives great balance. Once applied I used the kabuki brush from Virgin Vie Cosmetics to blend.  
                                                                                                                                        

This is a sample from the Debenhams website which came with my Bare Minerals order. Smells soooo good. It's a very lady like smell and may even consider purchasing it :

Nivea Lip Balm

 Hey guys :)

Having smooth and well moistured lips is a big must for me especially when the weather is changing.

I use a lot of Vaseline products but as I received this a gift I thought why not review it :)

So lets start from left to right.

Nivea - Essential Care - This is the original Nivea lip balm. This is a clear balm with a flight shine to it and can be applied to natural lips or even lips with lip stick on. This has no smell to it.

Nivea - Pure and Natural - Milk and Honey - This has a slight golden/yellow hint of colour to it. This would drastically changed the colour of your lips. This smells a little bit like honey which is very nice to smell under your nose. :)

Nivea - Pearly Shine - It does what it says on the packet - As you can see in the picture it looks like a pale pink colour which it on the actual lips. For me this is my least favorite as pastel colours on my lips make me look very washed out.

Nivea - Soothe and Protect - They all soothe the lips but the balm has a SPF 15 factor to it so is best used whilst on holiday. Lips are one thing that people forget to protect when in the sun, but there is nothing worse that sore lips.

Hope you like them :)
