Life's a Peach // TooFaced Just Peachy Mattes Palette Review

Don't worry, I am still alive! I've been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently because I've had all my end-of-term assessments at drama school so I've had to focus on those for the last couple of weeks, but I'm back baby! I think they all went pretty well (well enough to get me into second year at least anyway) and I'm now back home in sunny Suffolk for the rest of the summer! I thought I'd start back with a review that I've been meaning to do for about a month now and I think this product is going to be perfect for summer!
TooFaced launched this palette as a part of their Peaches and Cream collection - it's been available in the US for absolutely ages and I have been lusting after this particular palette since I first saw it (I could have quite easily bought the whole collection but alas as a poor student I couldn't really justify it) Luckily, they launched in the UK about a month or so ago and I was able to get my hands on it pretty much straight away. It retails for £33 and contains 12 matte eyeshadows all infused with peach and sweet fig milk. Like most of TooFaced's products, there is a scent to it (it really does smell like peaches) which I thought might put me off but it's not too overpowering! All the shades are very buttery which makes them really easy to blend out and although they're all inspired by peaches and cream, there's enough of a variety in there to be able to create a lot of different looks. I've created looks using it by itself and I'm really pleased with it!
So as I said before, in this palette you get 12 matte eyeshadows:

  • Peach Meringue - a pale cream colour which is great for a browbone highlight shade or for setting eyeshadow primer.
  • Peach Tea - a soft tan brown colour.
  • Peach Cobbler - a slightly darker, warmer brown with more of a rusty hue to it.
  • Peach Tart - a rich, warm, dark brown shade.
  • Peach Butter - a very pale pink shade.
  • Just Peachy - a darker, peachy pink shade.
  • Peach Punch - a warm, dark pink colour.
  • Just Ripe - a very dark and rich brownish purple shade.
  • Peaches and Cream - somewhere in the middle of Peach Butter and Just Peachy, with more orangey undertones. This one has been my go-to transition colour!
  • Fresh-Picked - quite similar to Peach Cobbler but with a cooler undertone and it's slightly lighter.
  • Peach Sangria - my favourite! A really stunning dark fuschia colour.
  • Chocolate Dipped - as the name suggests, a beautiful chocolatey brown shade.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
