Frontcover To Go Macaroons Box Set!

Hi everyone,


So this is the second time I'm writing this post as it all deleted on me last time when I was just about the upload it! Anyway today I'm going to review the 'Frontcover To Go Macaroon' box set. This is the perfect box set to make loads of different eye looks in!


Whats included in the box set:

8 Domed Baked Eyeshadows
1 Double Ended Eyeshadow Brush
1 Shadow Base
1 Shadow Line
1 Quad Eyeshadow Palette 


Eyeshadows Included:
Ginger
Praline
Caramel
Buttermilk
Apricot
Lavender
Mocha
Cinnamon




 This box set fits everything in nice and handy so its perfect if you want to take it on holiday with you. You can create so many looks with it, and you have all the essentials you need!


 Even better, it comes with a handy palette which you can fit 4 eyeshadows in. The thing I love is the single shadows are magnetic so they pop out so you can put in any shades you like!


The packaging of everything is so sleek and sturdy, its really nice! Plus you have 8 shadows to chose from, you can just pop the ones you have used that day into the palette and throw it in your bag to re apply during the day, or you can put in any that will suit the occasion you are going to.


This is the first time I have tried any shadows from Frontcover, and I must say I am very impressed. They give of a nice amount of pigmentation and have some gorgeous colours. There are matte shades, or some with shimmer, these ones give of a gorgeous pearl luminous finish.

L TO R (Ginger, Praline, Caramel, Buttermilk)

L TO R (Apricot, Lavender, Mocha, Cinnamon)


This is the shadow base, its a pretty nude/cream shimmery colour. This helps make your eyeshadows look more vibrant. Its a more creamy consistency than I would expect from a base.


These are the swatches from the shadow line. Basically what that does is, it turns any eyeshadow into a liquid liner. All you have to do is get the applicator tip and swipe it on the shade you like and simple, you have a liquid liner. You would think this would wreck your eyeshadow but it doesn't!

So that's it for this review, I hope you liked it, leave you thoughts in the comment and Ill talk to you in my next post, bye!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette Review!


Hi everyone!

So todays’s post is about something super exciting for me because it is the first high end thing I have. And its something I have wanted since it came out and have saved up for it so it feels great to have it. As you can guess it’s the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. And I guess you have heard so much about this already, but I thought I would still tell you what I think.



The packaging is gorgeous!

So I actually got this around the beginning of summer but just forgot to write about it. I got it from beautybay.com for £32.00 with is a lot personally for just eyeshadow, but as there is nothing but great reviews I decided why not?! I really couldn't choose from the first naked palette or the second but I liked the packaging and there's more matte eye shadows in the 2nd palette so I went for this one.

The first shadow is…

FOXY: I would describe it as a matte yellow/cream shadow which is perfect for highlighting, I love it on the brow bone.
HALF BAKED: gorgeous shimmery golden colour, this looks great on blue eyes I love it!

BOOTYCALL: one of my most used ones yet, it’s a shimmery pinky/pearly shade amazing for all over the lid and my favourite for highlighting the inner tear duct area!

CHOPPER: a peachy/pink toned shade, rose gold with silver glitter in.

TEASE: this is also one of my most used, it’s a great matte shadow for the crease, a brown mauve taupe colour.

SNAKEBITE: just a nice brown shimmery/satin colour.

SUSPECT: a medium brown/taupe with a sheen shade.

PISTOL: a shimmery grey charcoal colour great on the middle lid for a smokey eye!

VERVE: is a really shimmery/metallic silvery colour, it is great to put on top of shadows that are matte or you think need for sparkle.

YDK: is a really gorgeous shimmery colour, sort of a coppery brown, which  I really don’t know how to describe!

BUSTED: a lovely deep purple toned brown colour, a little bit of this in the outer corner to deepen up your eye makeup, but still neutral because its not jet black.

BLACKOUT: which is the perfect matte black shadow that you could ask for, it makes the perfect smokey eye with bootycall the inner corner and inner part of the lid, pistol in the middle/outer lid, blackout it the outer corner and even crease!

Now as much as I love makeup, I'm not the kind of girl that goes out and buys really expensive things, I like to look around a lot. But with this I really do find it is worth the money! They are all super pigmented, smooth, and blend great on the eyes. This definitely is my #1 staple in my makeup bag, and the shades are perfect only being able to wear neutral makeup at school.

If your sort of on the edge, love makeup, and do have the money, the I say go for it, but if you don’t really have the money then don’t worry about not having it because to be honest you can find you as good eye shadows for way cheaper. Like the MUA palette in undressed which is supposed to be a copy of the first naked palette and its only £4!





This also comes with a double sided brush, the first end a flat shader  brush which is okay, isn't my favorite but good for travelling, and the other side is a crease brush which I really really love!



And it comes with a little Minnie ud lip junkie lip gloss which is nice!
