Me Me Me radiant minerals foundation

Hey all you gorgeous makeupaddictsx today's post is going to be a review on me me me radiant minerals illuminating foundation. I recently purchased this foundation due to me having pulled back out an old fav of mine, Bare Escentuals mineral foundation. However I decided to give me me me a try as it's a fraction of the price and comes in an array of six shades, so something there for everyone.I expected before I purchased it to be a rock mineral foundation in powder form, but it is in fact a liquid.As per usual when I get something new I'm always eager to use it, however I have to be honest and say it didn't do it for me.The coverage was very sheer, and more like a tinted moisteriser, and as I like to cover my freckles up, it just didn't meet the criteria.Having said that this would be great on a summers hot day when perhaps you want very little make up on or you just want the natural look with perhaps a bit of bronzer.I have a bit of an obsession with trying to find the perfect foundation.Any suggestions?Amanda xoxo

Shopping trip to Derby cheaper make up brands

On a recent Christmas shopping trip to Derby I picked up some lovely things I went in to Evans where they had a sale on so I got a pair of boots and shoes and a couple of tops. I also went into Lush and got a few gorgeous goodies and looked at the Christmas goodies too.
Then I found a shop in the Westfield Centre called Dazzle as soon as I saw that they had got make up and bags and other girly glitzy goodies I was drawn in.
Well I was like a kid in a sweet shop, they had a shop brimming with make up and handbags, the handbags were gorgeous mostly copies of desighner brands but gorgeous.
Recently someone said to me that they couldnt understand why people bought cheap cosmetics, and if your one of those people, well think again as I have a selection here for your perusal and I love em.
The make up they had were some brands I had heard of like Revlon, Boujouir etc and some ide heard of but not taken much notice of like W7.
I bought a boujouire mascara ive tried it and its brill. Set of false nails by girls with attitude, a revlon highlighter, two sinful nail colours a w7 eyeshadow and blush. The false eyelashes in pic are from Boots.
I was a little sceptical about w7 as its very cheap at just £1.50 for an eyeshadow, however I was pleasantly suprised as the colour pay off is amazing, very buttery and highly pigmented. They had these in a huge array of colours so I might get some more.
Staying with w7 I also got a blusher in pretty pink again highly pigmented very pretty pink, and teamed up with the Revlon highlighter looks a treat.

Loving all these cheaper make up products. Bought from Dazzle.

Bye 4 now

Mac Moon river blush from Genie cosmetics

Ive always wanted to try Macs Moon River especially after having seen it on a lot of reviews etc, it looked like the perfect highlighter. However trying to get hold of it prooved to be very difficult as it was one of Macs LTD edition ranges, not sure which one though, but it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

After months and months of searching and steering clear of certain auction sites due to fakes I came across a new cosmetic web site called Genie cosmetics, there an internet cosmetic site based in the uk.

They stock brand name beauty cosmetics including discontinued makeup from MAC, Bobbi Brown, Benefit, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Lancome, NYX Cosmetics, Urban Decay and many more.


Thir aim is to provide all customers with a safe, reliable and high quality online shopping experience. All their cosmetics are 100% genuine and sold with a 7 day money back guarantee providing the products are returned unused and unopened. And the good thing is they ship world wide too.

The service was excellent the pricing was good, I recieved my item within two days of purchase and I couldnt be more pleased with the product too.

I have used them since to purchase my NYX Jazz palette that I couldnt find any where else and I also bought some mixing medium.

I would highly recommend them if there is something that you want and you canr find, then try them out. http://www.geniecosmetics.co.uk/

Although I had never bought any of her products I decided that it was a good offer considering the products that you get inside the pretty bag that comes with it.I decided to google it and it had some pretty good reviewed I also did a you tube search and it came out good.

I was so excited when this arrived I decided to wear it that day I used my Mac foundation and all of the products in the bag, and I have to say I am more than impressed.
The shadows are highly pigmented and such gorgeous colours, great for green or blue eyes as it makes them pop.
The mascara is amazing I have very sparse eyelashes and am always looking for a good mascara, well now I've found it.
The eyeliner went on smoothly with no dragging.
The lip gloss is such a pretty colour.
The blush is so pretty, its a gorgeous rich highly pigmented pink.
The cancelation concealer covers up all those nasties.
The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the highlighter it wasn't as pigmented as I hoped. Still very pretty though.
This set comes with a pretty bag to put all the items in so great for travelling or popping in your handbag.
I would say that this is worth getting and I would definitely purchase mally products again.

Mally beauty

Hi all just made my first purchase of Mally beauty on QVC uk.
I've never tired any of her products but I've heard some good reviews about the brand. Mally Roncall is the owner of the brand and has been a make up artist for some 15 years she has also made up some famous faces such as Beyonce.
It was the today's special value that's where they pick an item that is the special item of the day at a reduced price for one day only.
Just from memory you get two gorgeous eyeshadows, a eyeliner, mascara, concealor, blusher,eyebrow defined and a lipgloss and a gorgeous bag to put them all in.
I can't wait for the items to come as the colours are amazing and usually you can only get her make up from the states so il let you all know when it arrives.
