Finally got my hands on Colourpop not in the normal way though!?

About time eyy....

So I have wanted Colourpop cosmetics since I saw the collab they did with Kathleen Lights and I found a way which not everyone many approve of but I recently downloaded an app called DEPOP (this is not sponsored btw) and I have found a good few items on there and I'm sure there is something for everyone on there.

Anyway, there are some really good sellers if you find them and I found on that sold Colourpop but obviously because it is not from the website the prices will be higher but I knew that when I was looking. So I decided to treat myself to two of the Ultra Satin Lips but my next problem was which shades to get I had been looking to order from Colourpop for a while and I was really excited about doing this so I already had a list but I would really recommend knowing what you want before you just buy. Have a look at swatches online!!

In the end I decided to go for "Littlestitious" and "Dopey" with Dopey always being sold out on the website I wanted to find out why really.

I would describe Littlestitious to be a pastel dusty pink which if you don't like vampy lips in autumn this looks so pretty especially on pale skin tones as its not too dark which is what I really struggle with.

Dopey I would dusty mauve which like littlestitious is really pretty for autumn.



The formula:- Heads up, these will transfer especially when eating and drinking also when only the lipstick is applied depending on what you do with it on it can leave you with butt hole lips which isn't always cute looking so would need to carry around with you so that this doesn't happen.

Overall, for what would be $6 these aren't too bad I don't think that they are mind-blowing but there better than others especially at the price point. The colours though are really nice however do look slightly different in tube than on lips.

P.S. These cost me just under £15 with postage on Depop if you were wondering.

Thanks lovelies:) Let me know what your favourite shades are or what you think of them.

NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer Review

 Hey Guys, so recently I discovered the NYX Gotcha covered concealer. I bought this in the mindset that it would be a good product, seen as though I've recently become obsessed with store NYX.    

So, I urgently needed a new concealer and saw this one at the price of £5.50, which I thought was a reasonably good price seen as though my old one was a lot dearer. Now this concealer is only small at 8ml, however it is a concealer and will only be used to cover small discolored areas underneath the eyes, around the nose and on red marks. I bought the shade in  ivory which is the lightest shade out of the collection and surprisingly think it goes well with my skin.

When I first used this concealer, I thought you would need quite a bit of the product. However this was not the case, seen as though the more you put on the more cakey the product it is, so only a little amount is needed. To get rid of the cakiness , applying some loose powder does the trick:) This product is really easy to blend out with a beauty blender and gives a full coverage.    

The only issue , I have the with product is that it can come across abit oily. So if your someone with natrually oily skin I probably wouldn't recommend this product but other than that i think it is great to use as a cheap,drugstore concealer. 

First opinions are defiantly a hit!   

Please comment, telling me what your favourite concealer is, I'm intrigued to find out more!
