Currently Lusting Over

Too Faced - A La Mode Palette
So I love my Too Faced Summer Eyes palette alot, the quality is so good and I love the packaging but there is a new palette doing the rounds on blogs. The sad thing is that it is not due for release over in the UK until May oh no! It is beautiful though the colours are different enough from my other palettes to make me want this, and bad!
Maybelline Colour Whisper - Pin Up Peach
So again this is another product currently not out in the UK :-( but you can buy it from the UK ebay store for a decent price. I am currently not in the mood for heavy full on lipsticks and I want to keep my make up simple and light this Spring/Summer so I'm delving into the world of lip butters. I haven't tried any of the Revlon ones as they seem quite pricey for what they are and alot of reviews say that they are very pigmented which is currently not what I'm looking for. This shade just looks stunning and they have a nice amount of shine too unlike the NYX ones.
Zara Mini City Bag With Zips
So I've recently got the mini office city bag in grey which I love! But I can't help to lust over this beauty as well. It comes in light blue or pink which would be great for the huge pastal colour take over that's happening right now. This bag has lots of room for everything and like the other it has lots of places for everything.
What are you currently lusting over?

My Lipstick Wish List

I started putting together a make up wishlist and I realised that it was all mostly lipsticks so u decided to just so a lipstick one. Lipsticks are currently my favorite thing and there are so many that I want greedy me but I've narrowed it down for this list. I'm so bored of ready about how everyone needs to wear Mac Rebel now it's Autumn yawn! But I refuse as I don't like plum lipsticks as even though I love Vampires I don't want to look like one. I still favor nice peaches, corals and pinks for every season so I hope you like my current picks.
I will do this in the order of which I want the most so here we go -
Lime Crime - Babette $16
This looks like a stunning nude colour but abit more interesting. These lipsticks look very opaque and this looks brighter than most neutral nudes that I see. This seems impossible to get hold of in the UK so if you know where I can get it please link me in the comments. So far it looks like I will have to get it directly from Lime Crime in the USA. Also it has a unicorn on the packaging = me instantly won over.

Lime Crime - Geranium £11.50
Omg how fab does this pink look! I'm not really one for bright lipsticks but there is something about this that is seriously beautiful. Thankfully some UK websites stock this so it seems easier to get hold of than the elusive Babette. I was in the market for another nude and pink shade and I was swaying towards Mac Creamy Cup and Pink Nouveau which are both still on my wishlist but these two Lime Crime lipsticks took the lead.

YSL Rouge Volupte - Peach Passion £23.50
This will continue to be on my wishlist until I purchase it as it looks stunning and I know how much I love YSL lipsticks. This one is now discontinued so i need to get it before its gone. If it does sadly fall off the face of the earth my back up will be YSL Rouge Pur Couture - 51 Corail Urbain. This is a nice day time peach colour that looks stunning.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - Orange Impertinent £24
This looks similar to the Corail In Touch that I already have but a brighter and deeper shade. This looks gorgeous and I would be so happy to add this to my collection. It is part of the rouge volupte shine family so they aren't that opaque so the colour won't be too scary. This is something that I like about these lipsticks so if you do want a bright orange coral opaque shade I wouldn't recommend this lipstick.

Hourglass Opaque Liquid Lipstick £23
These look really interesting and and I've never had anything by Hourglass before but I know that they get lots of good bloggers reviews. I like the idea of the packaging and would love to try it out for myself. I'm still uncertain on which shade I would get I'm thinking either rose or raven.

So that's it my lipstick wishlist they all seem to be high end so I'd better get saving up and hope Father Christmas might bring me one. Have you ever tried the Lime Crime or Hourglass lipsticks and what do you think?

My top 3 Mac coral lipsticks

So what it's Autumn a berry lip is not to everyone's taste. Coral is still my favourite lip shade and here are my top 3 Mac coral lipstick shades. Due to the fact that in YSL's Fall range for example you will find a new coral shade in the pur couture lipstick line (shade 51 in looking at you - my next purchase hopefully) proves that coral lips are not over just because it's Autumn. I love them all and I'm listing my favourite Mac ones here from the lightest to the darkness shade.

Coral Bliss - Creamsheen
This is a perfect everyday coral. Creamsheen is my favourite mac formula as it is very pigmented and creamy on the lips.

Ravishing - Creamsheen
This is just utter perfection in a lipstick it is just stunning. It is subtle enough on the lips for daytime wear as it's not too bright but there's definitely a coral pop of the lips on this one.

Vegas Volt - Amplified
Ooh this could be my favourite yet as it is super pigmented and brighter than Ravishing. This is my evening wear coral choice as it a statement lip colour but again if your not confident enough to wear a bright red or bright orange then this is definitely for you. This one is like Ravishing but better as it's a deeper coral and brighter. It looks gorgeous on too.

I love all 3 of these and wear them frequently and I have a coral shade to fit every mood. I am a coral lipstick obsessive and I think there is something for everyone here. Please let me know what you think and what is your favourite.
In the swatch picture they are in the same order from left to right - Coral Bliss, Ravishing and then Vegas Volt.

Real Techniques half price from iherb!

So the crazy rumours are true! It is cheaper to buy Real Techniques from iherb in the US and get them shipped to the UK.
I got the Real Techniques Core collection for £10.79 including shipping I know crazy right. I can vouch for these that they are genuine and authentic too. The Real Technique quality is definately there.
You get $5 off your first order and then I got the cheapest shipping which was $4. My parcel arrived within two weeks. I am so happy I will definitely be buying more from iherb. I also got two little freebies which where a iherb touch screen pen and a sachet for a healthy drink, I'm sure that I'll never use either but the nice thought was there.
These brushes cost £20.99 from Feel Unique in the UK and to get them for only £10.79 including international shipping is amazing, but if you don't mind the small shipping wait you need to head over to iherb right now and get ordering. I couldn't see any other gems that caught my eye from iherb but I will definitely keep checking.
Have you ever ordered from iherb?

Mac Lady Gaga lipstick dupe?

So I was given this lovely Mac Lady Gaga lipstick by a friend and I love it! It reminds me of Mac's Pink Nouveau which I unfortunately do not own. I love the Mac formula and packaging I definitely want to collect more.
The Mac Viva Glam Gaga here is shade AC9 and it is a limited edition lustre lipstick. The fact that it is a light pink reminded me of my other only very light pink that I have in my lipstick collection which was a dirt cheap W7 Go West - Candy Pink lipstick which they class as matte - it isn't very matte at all so I think these two lipsticks could be dupes! The W7 one only cost me about £2.50 off eBay where as the Mac one would be £15± to buy.

The Mac is obviously my favourite but if your on a budget I recommend checking out the W7 Go West collection.

What do you think could these be dupes? I am wearing the Mac in the above shot and W7 in the bottom shot.

Left to right Mac - W7.

You will have to excuse my shoddy lipstick application as I wasn't in the best light haha. Jodie x

Mac Illustrated Rebecca Moses Face Kit Palette - Brown

When I saw this it literally took my breath away with its beauty. It without a doubt is the most gorgeous palette I have ever seen. I know not everyone will have the same opinion as me but I really can't find a single fault with it.
The start with the Ravishing lipstick was already on my wish list as it looked like the most perfect coral lipstick and I knew we I wanted to try it, so the fact that you get it in this palette sold the deal for me.
This palette is limited edition and is a collaboration with the artist Rebecca Moses. The packaging is very eye catching and I like it. It oozes quality as the material of the palette feels very well made and if you didn't know it was Mac you would still think that it was pricey. The case is a fabric material which you don't expect. It also has Rebecca signature on the mirror.
This palette comes in a choice of two colours which are brown or plum. The brown one looks far superior in my eyes but they have both sold out on Macs website but I do believe that they are still in stock at Selfridges. The RRP is £39.50 which isn't cheap but good value for Mac as to buy all these items separate it would cost a lot more than that.
My favourite thing about this palette is that you have abit of everything you get 4 eyeshadows a blush and 2 lipsticks so it would be perfect to travel with. I also love how the lipsticks have a separate cover inside to protect then from powder and to keep them fresh.
Inside you get:
* Melba powder blusher, matte
* Orb eye shadow (top left) satin
* Smoked Sepia eye shadow (bottom left) satin
* All That Glitters eye shadow (top right shadow) satin
* Show-Stopper eye shadow (bottom right shadow) matte
* Ravishing lipstick (top right) cream sheen
* Myth Lipstick (bottom right) satin
* Dual end brush 275SE/316SE
The colours are gorgeous and complement each other perfectly. On the back on the box you get a little set of instructions of how to achieve there desired look with the palette which I am wearing with the Ravishing lipstick in my picture.
This is definitely my favourite palette ever and there's not much more that I can say. 

Swatches left to right are:
Eyeshadows as they are with no primer - Orb, all that glitters, smoked sepia and show stopper. 
Other swatches:
Melba blusher, ravishing and myth lipsticks. 

As you can see the colours are all gorgeous and pigmented. The blusher and lipsticks are very wearable colours for all skin types. 

Have you tried any of the illustrated items? What do you think of this pallette?

Items that I would re-purchase without hesitation

Here is a list of items that I couldn't be without, if any of these ran out tomorrow I would need to re purchase it immediately.
1. Benefit Coralista blusher - this is my favourite blusher ever, I have a pale skintone and I find this complements it wonderfully. It is a soft coral than can be built up to give glowing cheeks. I love how this isn't too sheer like Hervana which takes a few swipes to see. This I only need 2 and I'm good to go. I also adore how this isn't too shimmery. It has a nice subtle sheen and I just can't rate it enough.
2. Benefit Boi-ing 01 concealer - as I mentioned above I am very pale and this concealer seems to be a perfect match for me, I have the Erase Paste also but I find it too orange for my skin tone.
Apart from the colour this gives amazing coverage and I love the texture of it, it isn't cakes and it isn't sticky and gooey like Erase Paste. This concealer is my all time favourite.
3. Benefit Brow Zings - so I'm sure you know by now that I am a Benefit fan girl, this brand introduced me into make up I guess. Anyway Brow Zings is one of my favourite items as as soon as I have it on my face is instantly transformed. This kit in dark suits my hair well as my hair is very dark brown/black. I love how I can fake having the eyebrows of my dreams. This kit leaves my brows looking great and not too false some just look painted on because I guess they are. To be fair I've only ever tried the Benefit branded eyebrow kit but I would be open to trying other brands too if mine ran out.
4. Collection Fast Stroke liquid eyeliner - I discovered this beauty gem in one of my Glossyboxes and now I could never part with the product. I love how it has great precision but the nib isn't too thin either so it gives a nice strong line across the eye. It is perfect for winged eyeliner and also it's waterproof. I would say this is as good or better than the premium brands that I've tried.
5. Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder - this is a product that I know I could never be without ever, I would actually cry if it was discontinued. There isn't much to say it leaves my face matte without any white residue and it lasts all day. This is my holy grail product and I wouldn't compromise on the brand either, if I ran out it would have to be replaced with the same one no hesitation.
6. Benefit Porefessional primer - I love this as this is one of the rare products that you can see instant results, one minute my pores are there the next they are not. This is nice and light and silky on the skin and I mostly use it with no foundation over the top. This is what I reach for instead of bb or cc creams. I really couldn't be without this one as it just smooths out my skin and leaves it looking a hundred times better. 
7. Benefit Total Moisture - This is the best facial moisteriser that i have ever come across apart from smelling gorgeous it just soaks in immediately which i've never foundf before. Its like my skin is drinking it. I can't go a day without using this my skin just feels so much better after ive cleansed, toned on moisterised with this b.right range. I have soley picked this as it is my favourate out of the whole lot. If i had to i would use different branded cleansers etc if i couldn't afford to get these but this moisteriser is one of the few products that i couldn't compromise on.
 
I hope you enjoyed my little list of my favourite products that I couldn't  live without, please share yours with me.

Makeup Academy Professional (MUA) mini haul blusher and primer

So after seeing some good reviews about this cheap makeup brand I decided to check out MUA for myself.
So I popped into my local Superdrug to check it out, I have been wanting to try the Bourjois cream blushers for a while but my local store didn't have any samples out and I wanted to try the colours before choosing one so I headed over to the MUA display. I really am surprised by the cheapness as it does look professional unlike some of the other cheap brands which make me want to run a mile at the thought of using it.
As I wanted a new blusher anyway I picked up two of the MUA cream ones, which are the colours Dolly and Scrummy. The Dolly one is the lighter of the two which is a nice deep peach colour suitable for everyday wear and Scrummy is a deeper pink for evening wear. These were only £1 each what a bargain! I'm not sure if that is the RRP though as they did scan through the till more expensive until I told them the sign said blusher £1. My suspicion is that it's the powder blusher that's only £1 and that the cream ones are dearer. If anyone knows this please leave me a comment as I can't find the cream blushers on Superdrug website to check.
Anyway I have tested the Dolly blusher today and I can confirm that the colour has lasted well all day. I don't have any other cream blusher's to compare these two but they are more difficult to apply and even out than powder blushed which blend evenly straight away but I like these blushers for a nice change.
I also picked up the eyelid primer for £2.50 but I haven't tried this out yet, it says that it prevents eyeshadow from creasing and gives more vibrant colour. I'm hoping this works as I will be definitely repurchasing this again if it does. I may even have to stock up a big hoard of the stuff.
So have you tried any MUA products and if so was it as good as the higher end brands?

Update 13/7/13 - I am not getting on with these blushers as I find them greasy and difficult to blend. It takes a lot of faffing about to get a even unpatchy colour so I wouldn't repurchase these.

My make up look from yesterday 21/6/13

So here is the low down on what I am wearing on my face today, most of it is by Benefit Cosmetics as usual:

* Porefessional primer for my nose and cheeks.
* Fake Up concealer under the eyes.
* Coralista blusher - this is my favourite.
* Coralista Lipgloss - I love how this isn't sticky.
* Brow Zings
* High Brow to highlight under my eyebrows.
* Collection Fast Stroke eyeliner.
* Jelly Pong Pong Fairly lashes mascara.
* Too Faced Shadow Insurance eyelid primer.
* World Famous Neutrals pallette in Most Glamorous Nudes, I went for the evening look which is the My Two Cents creaseless creme shadow with Glit-y Pleasure & Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy powder shadows.
* Eye Bright on the inner and outer corners of the eye and along the brow bone.
* Urban Decay De-Slick mattifying powder.

By the time this picture was taken I had had my make up on about 3 hours, I am stood next to a windows in natural light and you can see that my face still looks matte on a hot summers day.

I know I go on about Benefit too much but I am moving onto other brands to try and sample a bit of everything, I just can't afford to buy new products at the moment there are so many that I want.

Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder

For years I have tried different products to try and combat any unwanted shine. I'm not a oily monster or anything but I find my t-zone can get quite shiny. It probably doesn't help as I moisturise before putting my make up on but that's what we are supposed to do right. Cleanse, tone and moisturise before starting the day.

I found that the Kleenex shine absorbing sheets worked for me but I might have needed a touch up throughout the day but these I believe have been discontinued! I was gutted when I went to buy them from my local supermarket and they where gone so I began my search to look for something better.

I came across this product when reading a few blogs and I liked the look of it so I decided to try it out at my local Urban Decay counter at the Trafford Centre.
As my first Urban Decay purchase this didn't let me down, it feels very good quality as usually plastic compacts feel light and cheap but not this one. This has a good weight to it and feels very hard wearing.

The compact itself is dark purple with a gothic rose like design which is etched deep down underneath the surface. It looks really good. It comes with a mirror inside and a purple puff which has a nice UD brand detailing. The puff adheres to the mirror too due to the material of it which is handy.

The powder is white which might alarm some people but don't worry it is translucent, so there are no nasty white powder marks in sight I promise. It smells nice and feminine and is very light and delicate it is so easy to apply. The puff picks up just a little of product and it feels nice and silky and smooth on the face. It goes on very nice and instantly banishes any shine, this product is definitely a gift from the cosmetic gods! I recommend it for everyone. It is suitable for any skintone due to being translucent. It lasts quite a long time too I could probably go all day without a top up. It can be worn alone or over make up as the perfect setting powder. What are you waiting for ladies this is a must have for the summer.

Please let me know what you think about this product or what you would recommend for combating shine. Jodie x

Liquid Eyeliner Comparison - Benefit Magic Ink V's Collection Fast Stroke

So I have recently started using liquid eyeliner as I think it looks better for retro eye looks. I went out and bought Benefits Magic Ink for £15.50 as you all know are my favourite brand and then I got my May Glossybox which had the Collection Fast Stroke eyeliner in it, so my question was which is better?
The Collection one only retails at £2.99 compared with Benefits £15.50 made this a important comparison for me.
I have done a YouTube video demonstrating my comparison below, so please watch it so you can decide which is best for yourself.
 
Benefit Magic Ink £15.50 for 2.5ml -
Pros:
* Trusted Brand
* Cute packaging as always
* Thinner nib for more precision
 Cons:
* Pricey
* Not waterproof
 
Collection Fast Stoke £2.99 for 3.5ml
Pros:
*You get more in
* Waterproof
* Smooth application
* Cheap
* Looks just as good as premium brands
 Cons:
* Not as much precision as the Benefit one.
 
I will definitely use them both but when they run out it will be the less expensive Collection one that I will be purchasing sorry Benefit.

My June 2013 Glossybox treats

Hi I am a newbie to Glossybox but squealed like 5 year old when I saw the treats in store when I opened my June box.

Here is the low down:

Figs & Rouge - cherry blossom tinted lip balm.
I love how this is 100% natural and full of goodness as well as gorgeousness. I am so glad that I got the cherry blossom colour and not the coco rose colour as I wouldn't have liked it as much. This is my favourite product from this month's box.
This is a full size product at 12.5ml worth £5.00.

Organic Surge - Super-Intensive Daily Moisturiser.
I will have to give this a test run before reporting back but first try and it is more solid than I thought it would be when I first dipped my finger in. It smells very natural but I'm not sure if I like it or not. I will be using this on my hands and body as I am still using my trusty Benefit facial one at the moment. This feels good quality so I can't wait to see how it works it's magic on my dry hands. Update 9/6/13 I just can't get used to the smell of this it is repulsive which is a shame as it seems like a good product but but I can't get passed the foul smell.
Full size 50ml worth £8.99.

Nails Inc - Portobello
I love love love the colour of this! I will be wearing this later today. I don't usually wear nail varnish much but I will try this out. It is a neon coral colour which looks amazing. It is a perfect colour to help me feel more summery from a good brand.
Full size 10ml is worth £11, but you get 4ml.

Paul Mitchell Curls - Full Circle Leave-In Treatment & Ultimate Wave.
I am a huge Paul Mitchell fan as his hair products are my favourite. These products are to help give the the perfect beach hair like Sienna Miller and Kate Bosworth. The leave in treatment into prevent frizz and the other Ultimate Wave is to add texture to beach waves. There is a few products out there at the moment like salt sprays etc to get this look but I am expecting nothing less than first class from PM. My first thought was erh I have straight hair! But I may try some chic waves this summer.
Full size leave in treatment at 200ml is £14.95, you get 15ml.
Full size Ultimate Wave at 150ml is £11.95, you get 15ml.

Helen E Cosmetics - Lip Pencil in Shade 7.
This is my least favourite product in the box purely because I probably won't use it. I would have preferred the lip crayon but oh well. The colour does look a little too dark for me but I will see if it matches one of my lip sticks. I know lip liners make all the difference when wearing lipstick to stop fading. I like how this one is waterproof so it should last even longer.
Full size 1.3g is £8 you get 1.2g.

So this is June's Glossybox and I am not disappointed. What is your favourite?

Which Benefit primer is best?

Benefit have a few primers out and they are all fabulous but if you are struggling to choose one, I will try and help.

On the pictures they are from left to right: Porefessional, That Gal and Girl Meets Pearl.

They each do different things:

Porefessional - This is my favourite as the colour is perfect for my skin. It is a light beige and even though it's a primer it works so well for me I don't need to wear foundation. As you have probably guessed from the name it minimises the apprentice of pores. I don't have a clue how it works I know that it just does, and it does it well. A little bit of this goes along way too. It feels very silky smooth and light on the skin. If you feel you need touch ups throughout the day you can pat on over make up for a instant perk me up. You can use this on all of your face concentrating on your t zone as this is usually where the most visible pores are.

That Gal - This stuff smells of strawberrys and it a thicker cream than the Porefessional. It is pink in colour and is used to brighten the face if you are having a dull day. This stuff is really good and is best worn under foundation but can be worn on top of foundation or alone. This can be mixed with Girl Meets Pearls for bright pearly cheeks so there would be no need for blusher.

Girl Meets Pearl - This is a highlighting primer and this is my least favourite of the 3. This is pink out of the tube but has gold highlighting tones. It is very nice but just not for me. It is best mixed with foundation or blusher for a subtle glow on either your whole face or cheeks. As this is mostly a highlighter I don't really use it as I have Watts Up and Highbeam which I prefer. I think this primer is more suited for darker skintones. It is very nice and gives your face a second glow so maybe save it for party's.

So out of the 3 Porefessional is my favourite and more suited to my fair skin. It is my favourite primer for everyday wear. That gal is great for cheating your way to a bright healthy glow if you have had a heavy night the evening before.
I have recently got Dr Feelgood which is also a priming balm so I will review this soon as I haven't tried it out yet.

Let me know what your favourite is?

Benefit She's So Jetset gift set

This is such a pretty limited edition set but unfortunately it is sold out in the UK. So I ordered it from Benefit USA and got it shipped over. The set was $36 and $18 shipping but it is worth it.
I love how it has a bit of everything in it and you can just get ready with this and nothing else if you wanted too.
It comes with:
* Porefessional face balm
* 4 complementary eye shadow since golds and browns.
* A 2 part face powder which you can mix to apply all over the face as it is very light or you can use the colours separate as a blusher and a highlighter.
* They're real black mascara.
* Life on the A list lip gloss, this is a light pink.
I love how it comes with a lesson booklet too as in it it suggests ways of using the different eye shadows for daytime and night time looks.
Please check out my YouTube video of me un boxing and using this set. :-)
