Season Sizzles!!!!


 So.... tis the season to be jolly, and boy are we excited to get our glad rags and and glitter on. 
With metallic shadow being the trend this year, we have decided to dedicate this blog to some futuristic makeup, this festive season. 
We've picked up a few bits and pieces over the past couple of weeks and wanted to share with you some of our favorites from the collection. We'll leave the links below for you guys to check out.

Browsing the shelves of "Marshall's" the equilvelient of "TK Max" back home, we found a few goodies to play with. Being so afordable and cheap we just couldn't resist the temptation..... 

Firstly we found the famous E.L.F products, that all the Youtubers rave about... these are apparently inexpensive and do the trick for a quick fix.... And that's exactly what they've done.
We really we're not impressed with some of the product but there were some items that we would definitely use again. 
We purchased some eye primer which was really beautiful and that's about the only thing that's will be staying in out kit. 


These little primers, available in three shade are just divine under your shadow and definitely make it last the whole night through. They have a shimmer that catches the light in the right spot and when you place the shadow on top it makes the eyes pop!
We really feel that E.L.F products are suitable for teens as the cost is tolerable and the products is decent for what you pay.

The rest of the E.L.F products we tried and tested but we're not so impressed so we decided to leave out of the blog. We only decided to indulge in the products we liked and ones that actually worked!!!

Secondary was the NYX products, one whole set with numberous products. We bought this set as an addition to our kit and once again we were impressed by the bits and bobs available. 

Included in the set was
* Three pencils! black and white eye pencils and one burgundy lip pencil.
* Two lip glosses, pink tones with shimmer
* Three gorgeous metallic shadows, perfect for the dazzling Christmas season that is upon us
* A three shadow mini palette that is labeled "for smokey eyes only" and if that's what it says then that's what is means! Lol
* A shimmer loose powder that's is simply divine, and to share a little secret, take some in the palm of your hands with moisturizer and rub in down the legs for a night out this gives a glowing effect to the shins and it's cheap and cheerful!! 
*And last but not least is the mini pot of pink glitter, not something you would use everyday but you never know when pink glitter might come in handy. 

Now we know this set won't be available to buy online but you can get the individual items on the NYX website. 

We are really falling in love with NYX lately and it's definitely a must of your Santa list.
