L'Oreal • Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base Primer - review

The L'Oreal studio secrets magic perfecter base is a decent primer that isn't expensive. I quite like it. It doesn't smell bad but it has a weird texture. It's thick and tacky almost when you take it out of the pot. BUT when It is blended it has a lovely velvet finish. It isn't sticky or greasy, I found it makes my skin feel very soft. I do need a bit personally to make it spread across my face evenly. I find it does make my foundation go on smoothly and it helps it stay on. It's not perfect but I quite like it! :)
I think it is meant to be a corrector, I don't find it does much for me.

Too faced shadow insurance - review

Favourite eyeshadow primer by far! It keeps by eyeshadow in place through the day. Keep in mind I have combination skin.
It is a thick(ish) liquid by texture and a beige colour. It seems to melt into your skin and I don't find it leaves much of a residue. You only need a tiny amount, it spreads so easily!!
I would rate this product 5/5.

Number one nemesis by opi from the new amazing spiderman collection!

I love this colour, it is very similar, possibly dupe for graphite by Chanel.
The colour seems to be a gunmetal base with a lot of gold reflects/shimmer. Application starts off sheer, it takes 3-4 coats to have a nice opaque look. The formula itself is nothing fancy, applies nicely, not streaky or clumpy. I feel it would suit all skin tones and I would say it is an autumn or winter nail polish. If someone knows the name of an Opi nail polish the is possibly the same but silver reflects let me know! Scroll for swatch:)

Also I will be shortly reviewing and swatching the naked 2 palette by Urban Decay within the week.
Thank you for reading!

Tart deco by Essie- Review




Hey there :)

First of all if you are looking for a lovely peach/ bright orange colour this is beautiful :)! It would be great for spring. Essie are known for their fantastic fashion colours. Here is no exception. The colour is amazing.


The colour is a lot brighter when painted compared to bottle.
It’s staying power is decent, mine started chipping early day 3, as can be seen slightly in the photo. Though I have been doing a lot of cleaning so that would be why.
The formula is horrible! My only downfall.It is thick and streaky. I used 3 thick coats to create a clean look. At two coats it was still horribly streaky
Overall beautiful colour that suits my pale skin tone, the formula could use some work.
