Review-Bronzer-MeMeMe Shimmy Shimmers.

This product by MeMeMe, who've I spoken about a few times before, and it's a copy of the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, but whilst that is gonna set you back a whopping £30.50, the Me-Me-Me copy is only £7.25 and avaliable from Superdrug. The one that I have is called 'Bronze Shimmer' and I know that they do a Pink version and a Gold version and perhaps more too that I haven't seen.



The colours are very shimmery and pigmented and personally for someone as pale as me, they look a little too dark on my pale skin and kind of muddy. However, the pearly white colour is a really great, bright highlight colour either for the inner-corner or your eye, browbone or cheekbones.
Overall Ratings:
Price: 8/10-compared to the Bobbi Brown equilvalent this price is AMAZINGGGG! But it doesn't get a 9 or 10 mainly just because of the darkness of the colours.
Pigmentation: 10/10-the colours are a sort of pearl formula and have a great shimmer/sheen to them, they're soo pigmented and could be used as eyeshadows if they're too dark for your cheeks, just like me!!
Overall: 8/10-As I've already said various times, the colours are too dark on me but the pigmentation and great price really make up for it. Hey, if you don't wanna splash out on the Urban Decay NAKED palette, you could even use these as your brown, gold and bronze shadows in the mean time! :P


Thanks for reading, have you tried the Me-Me-Me Shimmy Shimmers? Or the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick? Let me know!!! :)

Top 10: Blushers and Highlighters!

I'm gonna start this Top 10 series, because it makes it a lot easier than doing a whole Makeup Collection type of Blog Post that would take you 300 years to read. If you do wanna see that after my Top 10 series is over, just ask me in the comments section even if it STILL won't let me reply :'(. WARNING: picture heavy Post. :)

Natural Collection Cream Blush-Rose Petal and 2True Cheek 'n' Lip Tint-Blush Pink.

Bright neon pink, blends out to sheer cool, blue-toned pinky glow.

Thick consistency. Peachy pink in colour, blends out to very sheer and glowing. 
ELF Natural Radiance Blusher-Innocence and elf Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder.

A lovely coral-pink colour with great gold shimmer. Pigmented, quite powdery.

Thanks for reading, Love, Katie .xxx

NOTD: Perfect Peach.

Another NOTD :) this paticular polish is prettty old and I would be VERY surprised if you could still get it at your nearest Chanel counter, but it's worth a look!! A great and very popular atm drugstore dupe would be Barry M's Peach Melba though :) Chanel nail polishes generally retail at £17.50-£18.00 ish, I think (!), but the formulas are soo nice, they dry quickly and are opaque. The lighter shades, such as this paticular one, take a few coats to get the best result, but it's worth it after.




The complete title/shade thang of this polish is Le Vernis 63 Impetueux Chanel Paris. Sorry that it (99.9%) won't be avaliable anymore! :( It's a light peachy colour with gold shimmer in it, the best spring/summer colour of the moment on Blogs and Youtube.

Thanks for reading <3

Chat-Time: new title picture thang :)

heey,

I wanted to post really quickly about my new picture that you can see at the top of my Blog. I was feeling very creative after watching Zoella and Sprinkleofglitter's Youtube video on Blogging tips and advice and so I thought I'd make my picture a little more appropriate to the content of my Blog :).
Also, I added a Poll to my Blog, which just helps me out with knowing what you guys like reading the best, so if you could just vote, you can vote for several different options if you like, that would be great.

Thanks for reading guys, let me know if you want me to Blog about anything in paticular. Leave a comment down below if you want :)

Monthly Favourites-July.

Soo wondering what I loved throughout the month of July? I'll tell you here :) Keep reading <3.


<3.



Benefit Boi-ing Concealer-01.

OMG I cannot describe how much I laarveee this concealer! It's a medium to perhaps full coverage concealer and it's so easy to blend in. I find it makes my skin look waaaay more flawless, it's rather pricey but sooo worth it!!


Maybelline Dream Mousse Eyecolour-02 Blissful Beige.

I really loovee this cream eyeshadow. It's got a LOOOOADA glitter runnning through it though, so if you don't like glittery or shimmery eye products, you definitely will NOT like this! It's such a pretty, nude shimmering colour, great for everyday if you're daring or nice for evening-time too.


Me-Me-Me Sunbeam Highlighter.

This is SUCHHA amazing product! Me-Me-Me, as I mentioned in a previous Blog post, does some GREAT dupes of more expensive brands, and this paticular one is a copy of Benefit's Moonbeam highlighter. It retails at about £6-ish so it's such a great deal compared to the Benefit version. It's a peachy gold colour and really nice.


Number 17 Falsifeye Gel Eyeliner-Black.

So you've read about this pretty recently, so for a full review, just scroll down to find the mascara and eyeliner review Blog post. I love it and it's soo creamy and easy to apply. I use a thin, long eyeliner brush, something like a 210 from MAC. :)

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick-720 Drive Me Nuts.

This is a bit darker than the usual pinkey-nudes I love to wear, but blended out a little, worn bravely at night or paired with a lighter gloss, it looks really nice, natural and a 'Your Lips, But Better' kind of colour.


So those are just a few of my beauty-related favourites for this month. :)

Books wise? : House of Night series :) lotta love for vampire books that DON'T just copy Twilight or Vampire Diaries.
Movie wise? : Bride Wars, definitely! Watched it with a friend lately, forgot my love for that film<3. Also Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Legally Blonde, suchhh funny, feel good movies! :D
TV wise? : Dirty Sexy Things-don't worry, it's a show about models! It's hilarious and really good! And ofc One Tree Hill <3 <3 <3.

So I hope you enjoyed reading, please leave a comment down below if you need to ask anything:) lots of love, Katie .xxx

Comments Confusion..

Hey guys,

So this is a quick post basically asking for a bit of help! On a few recent blog posts there have been some lovely comments that I've been really eager to answer but it wont let me!?
Here's what happens:

I read the person's comment and then write a reply in the 'Post Comment' box. I then choose 'Google Account' which I'm logged into on my Blog anyway. But then it takes me to the homepage of Blogspot before you log in. Confused, I logged in again and it takes me back to the comment screen, then asking me to 'write the word I see' so I did that, this is when I also noticed that before my comment it said 'Anonoymous said:' but I want it to say Katie says so the person I'm replying to knows its me!?, however when I pressed post this time it againtook me back to the Blogspot homepage??! Honestly, veryyyyy confused right now! Does anybody know what on earth is going on?! I know I don't! :( lemme know guys.

Love, Katie .xx

Combo: Longest Lashes!

I thought I'd start a new 'Combo' series to show off my best combo for a nude lip or best eyelashes, like this one so you guys can see which few products would be great to buy or a great investment.
So I've found that one tool and 3 (I know, I know, 3 is ridiculous!) mascaras make the best lashes, for me personally. So obviously this might not work for everybody reading, but for me it works really, really well!! These 3 mascaras happen to all be my favourites out of all of my mascaras in my collection. They're all drugstore and all really affordable. Here goes nothing:

Step 1:Eyelash Curlers-QVS at Superdrug.




Step 2: First coat of mascara-17 Waterproof mascara.


Step 3: Maybelline Colossal Volume Express mascara (100% black).


Step 4: 17 Falsifeye Mascara.


FINAL EFFECT:


The mascaras retail at:
17 Falsifeye (Brown-Black.)-£6.49.
17 Waterproof (Black.)-£4.69.
Maybelline Colossal Volume (100% Black.)-£7.19.

Let me know what you think! What are your favourite mascaras or mascara combos?! Do you have a great curling mascara that means you don't need eyelash curlers?! Leave a comment if you want to :D <3.
