Jewelry from Lylia rose

So recently I won a giveaway over on the Lylia rose Facebook page Here and I thought I'd show you what I won. 

Three crosses bronze tones - On sale for £3.15 * here

I love this one it looks really pretty with plain clothes and just's add's a little something to your outfit!

Long bronze round owl - On sale for £3.38 here

This one is so cute I love the detail and it looks so cute with dresses. 

I can't actually find this one on the website so I have no idea of it's name or price. Which is typical as it's my favourite one. I love how dainty it is and I think it will look so cute in the summer. 

So that's what I got, the Lylia rose have some amazing giveaways over on their Facebook page here. I'd also highly recommend checking out their shop as they have some gorgeous pieces here.

Urban decay Naked 1 -- Review, swatches and a makeup look

Urban decay Naked 1 £37 (Gift)

Could I be any later to the band wagon with this one, probably not but when I asked on twitter you guys said you'd like to see a review so here it is.. 

Now I'm fully aware that I am a horrible blogger as I used this before I photographed it oops! I will one day stop committing such sins.

From left to right -

Virgin - A subtle shimmery off white. The perfect highlight 

Sin - A super shimmery metallic baby pink.

Naked - One of the two matte colours in the palette, a muddy light brown. 

Sidecar - Very similar to sin but a more brown'y pink.

Buck - The other Matte in the palette, a mix of grey and chocolate brown.

Sidecar - A gold shadow packed with shimmer. 

From left to right -

Smog - A dark brown with particles of gold shimmer, this can look a little more on the olive green side in certain lights.

Darkhorse - A very dark chocolate brown almost black with lots of shimmer.

Toasted - Probably my favourite shade out of the palette a mix of brown and pink packed with shimmer. 

Hustle - A very warm shimmery light chocolate colour.

Creep - The most disappointing shade in the palette for me it's just not as creamy as the rest, a black with rainbow shimmer. 

Gunmetal - Another of my favourite shades, a  beautiful navy blue with silver shimmer. 

Overall I really love this palette and I find I can get a really varied array of looks out of it. The shadows are amazing quality and blend like a dream. Now I just need the other two naked palettes! Onto the look I created with this palette, it isn't one of the most subtle looks you can get out of this palette but I think it's my favourite look I've produced so far. 

So for my base I used the Urban decay primer potion and a little bit of Mac Bare study paint pot. I then applied  Half baked all over my lid using a fluffy brush. I then popped Smog in the crease and blended it all together. Then I took Darkhorse on a small brush and ran it under my eyes. I put a little bit of Creep along my top lash line, highlighted with Venus and finished off the look with Benefit's They're real mascara! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, Do you like reviews and looks together or would you prefer me to do them as two different posts? 

Mac Lipstick - up the amp

MAC Amplified lipstick in Up the amp £15 (Gift)

If someone told me a year and a half ago that I'd leave the house wearing a lilac lipstick I would have laughed in there face. How wrong I would have been! Today I'm  going to be reviewing one of the Mac lipsticks that I got for Christmas. 

Up the amp is the most gorgeous pinky toned light purple lipstick although translates as more of a lilac on the lips. Due to the fact it is an Amplified lipstick the pigmentation is very strong and the below lip swatch is one swipe across the top and one across the bottom. In terms of formula this lipstick glides onto the lips like butter and is very moisturizing so it's great for girls with dry lips. I find the lasting power to be very good, around 6 hours. I also find that it wears very evenly and you don't end up with patchy lips. 

I really do think this lipstick is a stunner and well worth the £15. This is a really individual lipstick which is most definitely not for the faint hearted!

Have you tried Up the amp? Or is it way out of your comfort zone? 

Models own - Absinthe Review and swatches

Models own Absinthe - £5 (Gift)

I am completely head over heels in love with this polish, it's the most perfect mix of glitter, glitter and even more glitter. This polish is tiny particles of green and silver shimmer and larger hexagonal lighter green glitter suspended in a deep green metallic polish. It's completely opaque in 2 coats and lasts 3-4 days on my nails. The only problem I have with this is removing it, lets say it takes a hell of a lot of elbow grease! Other than that this polish is completely perfect. It's such a stunning colour and I will be picking up more shades from this collection!
