My Eyeshadow Collection: Part 1


  Another collection blog post, as I love writing them as much as I love reading them myself, today its eye-shadows! Now I don't have as many as some people would day, but I suppose it'sis quite a few eye-shadows really! I have done it in two parts only because I don't want you to have photo overload! Lets get on with the post! 
 Contents Clockwise: Colour-works Colour Palette, MUA Professional Range Heaven & Earth Palette, All about Eyes Trio. 
Contents Clockwise; Colour Eye-shadow Pallete, Ruby Hammer Color Palette, MUA Single Eyeshadow Shade 2 Pearl, Rimmel London Color Rush Eye-shadow in 080 Glitzed, Collction 2000 Intense Trio in 12 Fusion, No7 Eye-shadow in 55 Wheatsheaf, MUA Trio Eye shadows in Pink Sorbet.




MUA Pro Heaven and Earth Palette- Sorry for the stock photos, I took the swatches ages ago, and really cant be bothered to get my camera out and take them. The fact that I cant do that on this laptop is also a problem. You get the gist though, packaging is simple and transparent so the eye-shadow's are easy to spot and easily recognised. If I say so myself, this is a lovely palette, and they are good for the price, but they do work much  MUCH better with a primer. When you first have this palette, the eye shadows will need getting used too, as the formula when you use them, is different to any I've used before. These are available from Superdrug and MUA store for £4.

Swatches; First six are top row, last six are bottom row. My favour ites are Number 1, a lovely white creamy colour, perfect for highlighting, and Number 9 a lovely pale shimmery brown almost gold colour, I use this on my lid for full colour mostly. 



Colour-works Colour Palette- Cant find a picture at all for this so Im really sorry, but you can look at the picture at the top. Its the one next to my MUA Palette. I haven't actually used this yet as Im trying to use up some of my older eye shadows, but will get round to using it. The pigmentation is great though, there really creamy and most of them are pearl, but even the matte ones are brilliant. This palette also contains Lip-glosses and Blush/Bronzer but Im not going to go into those. I actually got this at Christmas, so I dont know if this is still available , but I know its from  Superdrug.

All About Eyes Eye Shadow Collection- Sorry again about no photos for this one, but I actually got these eye shadows from Mizz magazine, so there are no images available. The palette consists of three (basic) colours; a light shimmery pale pink, a neutral matte brown, a light turquoise aqua. I get the most use out of the pink and brown as those come up fairly pale on the skin. I actually dont think I've used the Turquoise as I dont really like blue on my eyes. For a magazine freebie they are actually good in some forms. As I said there not there too buy because there from a Magazine. 

There is  the first part of My Eye-shadow Collection, I hope you enjoyed it, and stay tuned for     Part 2!xoxo Jade xoxo

Clothes & Beauty Small Haul!


Hey lovelies! I went shopping on Friday just gone, and bought a couple of things and I thought I would share them with you. So here we go!

 New Look Peach Shorts Highwaisted £12.99 - I originally wanted a Blue Demin Version of these from the woman's section but couldn't find them, so when I saw these ones in the Generation section for only £13's, I had to buy them! I love these as they would be perfect for summer on lazy days, and the colour is beautiful too! Also in Newlook there is a top with a Cookie Monster on  ( Sesame Street) that would go with it, and I might by that when I have more money, because Im a bit short on money at the moment!:( 
Natural Collection Lip gloss in Fondant, Lipstick in Sandcastle, Pressed Powder in Neutral-  Now everything if im not wrong in Boots, is on a 3 for 2 offer, and considering Natural Collection is so good for the price, and good quality ( most of it) I thought I might as well buy a couple of things. Im loving my peaches at the moment, so when I saw this lip gloss I had to pick it up! The lipstick is a similar colour if you can see below, swatches, and its a my lips but better colour! Also, the powder is just a nessesity, as I needed a new one, the Rimmel London one a bought a while back never gets used as I really prefer this one to it. 


Foundation Brush £1 Savers- I really only bought this to try out as I've never had  foundation brush before, and for a £1 I just wanted to see if it was any good. Its not the best to be honest as, it leaves marks and streaks on my cheeks where I've rubbed it in. Not good:( Its really good for the money though, and will get used on some days.  
 Swatches left to right: Lipstick in Sandcastle, Lip gloss in Fondant, Pressed Powder in Neutral. 
Miss Sporty Nail Polishes - Now some of the things in Superdrug is also on 3 for 2, and I've been  meaning to try these for a while now, so I picked some up. I actually heard about these from Louise and liked the look of them.Now only 1 is for me, one of the glitter ones, because the other two are for my friend, its her birthday next Monday. I thought she might like them, so I got them. There opaque in one coat as you can see by the swatches.

What have you bought in Boots or Superdrug with the 3 for 2 offer?
Id be interested to know!

My Perfume Collection!

Hello! I bet your all fed up of my excuses of not posting so just go to say this. I've not been feeling to post lately as I've said, and when I don't post I feel bad, but then I think Im forcing myself to post, when you should really just post when you feel like it? If you get my drift..:) Anyway, today Im going to share with you my Perfume Collection, I haven't got many, but Im thinking I might do a whole bunch of collection posts, not sure.
Okay...

 These are my Perfumes! Don't have many but that will hopefully soon change..hahah.!
Close up of my So..? Perfumes! Love them!

 Fiction Perfume 100ml- I got this for Christmas off a close friend and considering (wait for it) it's from Pound land, its actually really nice and a good quality perfume. The smell isn't unique I've smelt this somewhere before, but It is good for the money, a very fruity, lively scent. Most probably suitable for Teenagers to early 20's.
J'adore Perfume  75ml- A very musky, strong scent, almost a smidge of floral and it lingers all day.  Im not one for these scents, but I got this off my sister as she didn't want it anymore, and It was free so I just have it in my drawers. One day I might like this scent, depends if the scents I like change.
 Miss Sixty Perfume 75ml-  Also another I got from my sister, and one I tend to don't use much as not a fave of mine really. Another fruity scent but has a smell of elegance too it, I cannot describe scents much so sorry if it makes absolutely no sense!
 So..? Superstar + So..? 10ml each- Got these in a pack of 4 from Boots I think, but they will sell them in Superdrug, Savers etc. Superstar is a nice fresh musky scent, while So..? smells almost like a Mens Cologne, very strong indeed. 
L.I.L.Y Perfume Sample- A new fave of mine! Very light and fresh, springy scent! For more about go check a post I did on it a week ago! 
Avon Samples- These are just a few samples I got from Avon in some delivery's, they normally give a couple out in brochure. Ones called Little White Dress, again light musk, and Solja Boy or something, its for men so a very very Cologne scent!


Thanks for reading again guys! I have a idea of doing a series of My Favorite YouTubers and Blogs to read and watch, what else do you think I could do? Jade xoxo

My Current Daily Essentials

Hey guys another post for you! This one is about my current daily essentials - products I'm loving at the moment. You might have seen a few before in recent posts. 
                                                                           
 Impulse Body Spray in Loving Words-  Love this, the smell is believable, its really sweet and summery! 
'It's a fragrance worth a thousand words. A blend of lusciously floral scents with fruity notes that will leave you feeling playful, witty and spirited. Spray it on. And let it speak for you.' Now, 75ml for £2 is quite a lot of money, but its so worth it as it smells good and it small enough to fit in a bag. 
Lynx Attract for her Body Spray - Yet another body spray but this is my favorite of all time! I seriously use this one everyday- so much that its nearly finished, glad I've got a backup. 
Dove Go Fresh Grape Fruit and Lemon Grass Deodorant- I use this daily for school, it has the claim of 48hr but I obviously don't use it for that long, but it defiantly lasts the day. The smell is very refreshing! 
Boots Essentials Eye Makeup Remover Gel- As It has cucumber extract in it, its fine for sensitive eyes and hasn't made my eye sting drastically yet! I don't use this everyday as I find if I do the outer part of my cheek starts to go a pinkish color so I use it every 2 days. 
Simple Baby Moisturizing Wipes- You get 80 wipes in whole and thats amazing as I got them for 99p! They have soothing chamomile in to make your skin softer and more radiant. I havent notice any difference in my skin, but they are a nice thing to have. Dont take my makeup of as much as I would like though.
Johnson's Baby Skincare Wipes- These have Aloe Vera and Willow herb in and make redness less visible. I use these instead of the Simple ones when I have more makeup on, as they take it off better, they are really, really moisturizing too! 


Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation 25 Hour in Ivory- This is my fave ever foundation , I use it every single day for school, some days it does the job, some it doesn't but that's only when you rub your face quite a lot:/
Colour-trend Plump Out Mascara and Avon Pure Brown Eye-liner- This mascara is really good for making your lashes look bigger and it doesn't clump as well so its good! The eye-liner I received in a goody-bag, and never use to wear brown eye-liner but im starting to like it more now! The pigmentation of it is brilliant! 
Aloe Vera Vaseline and Collection 2000 Hot-lights Lip gloss in 3 Glimmer- Vaseline is the best thing ever for chapped lips and making your lips smoother, and I just love the smell of this, even though its Aloe Vera it smells like sweets! The lip gloss I don't use that often but when I do , I dot a bit so its just a tint to my lips, berry colours aren't my thing, but thank you to Collection 2000 who sent me this in December 2011.
   Swatches of the mascara and lip gloss. 
My fave nail polishes at the moment are 17 Nail Polish- No shade name as I received it in a gift set for Christmas, but its a metallic turquoisey blue. The other polish is Collection 200 or Collection Hot Looks Nail Polish in Fruit Loop, which is a lovely opaque peachy color. 


Thank you guys for getting through this rather biggish post, hope you enjoyed!
