Paul & Joe Vintage Inspired Lipstick Case


This is another pretty lipstick case from Paul & Joe. This one is made from plastic not like the other 3 that i have that are made with paper. It's pink and cream with some details in gold like the P & J logo on the top of the lid. It's really nice and classy looking and it also has a really nice vintage feeling. I bought mine from Beautybay.com for £6. Once you have your case all you need is to pick a pretty shade of lipstick refill to go in. The one i've picked for my case is shade 305 La Vie en Rose, a beautiful fucshia :)
Do you have any Paul & Joe Lipstick cases?

Birthday Cupcakes!!


I love cupcakes! They are so cute and pretty!! And sooo yummy ;)

New Primark Makeup: Baked Eyeshadows


Today I have some pictures and swatches from the new makeup line from Primark. I was showing you yesterday the two new blushes they have and today I have the eyeshadows. They are called Baked Eyeshadows, they are duos and at the moment you can only get them in a silver/ black or beige/ brown color. They are €1.50 each, and again the packaging and the look of this eyeshadows are much better than they used to... thinking MAC again...

Hoy tengo algunas fotos y swatches de la nueva linea de maquillaje de Primark. Ayer os enseñé sus dos coloretes nuevos y hoy tengo las sombras de ojos para enseñaros. Se llaman Baked Eyeshadows, son duos y por el momento sólo se pueden conseguir en dos tonos plata/ negro y beige/ marrón. Valen €1.50 cada uno, y como con los coloretes el packaging y el look general de estas sombras está muchísimo mejor que antes... Pensando en MAC otra vez...

New Primark Makeup: Blushers


I was in Penneys today and saw they had pimped out all their makeup collection, with a lot nicer packaging (similar to MAC...), still not much choice regarding to shades, i wonder will they be adding more colors to the collection. Today in the store i was, they only had 2 different color blushes (with no name on them, i really hate when thinks don't have name!) and 2 different eyeshadows. Today i'm gonna show you some Pictures and swatches of the blushes, one is a lovely Barbie pink and the other one is some sort of coppery bronze. I was very impressed with the pigmentation on both, for the price you pay €3, it's a really good value. So if you are looking for some new blushes but don't want to spend a fortune i'd give them a try! ;)

Nuevo Maquillaje de Primark: Coloretes

Hoy he ido a un Primark y he visto que tenian una nueva colección de productos de maquillaje, con una imagen nueva y mucho más atractiva que la anterior (le da un aire parecido al packaging de MAC...), pero la gama de tonos a elegir sigue siendo super pequeña, me pregunto si irán añadiendo más colores a esta colección nueva. De momento, en la tienda que he estado hoy sólo tiene dos colores diferentes de colorete (no tienen ningún nombre para diferenciarlos, no me gusta nada cuando las cosas no tienen nombre!), y otros dos de sombras de ojos. Hoy os voy a enseñar algunas fotos y swatches de los coloretes, uno es un rosa Barbie muy chulo y el otro es un tono bronce. La verdad, me ha impresionado mucho la pigmentación de estos coloretes, para el precio que tienen €3 son una buena ganga. Así que si quieres probar o buscas unos coloretes nuevos pero no quieres gastarte una fortuna, yo les daría una oportunidad y los probaría! ;)

Paul & Joe Lipstick Refills: 304 Rouge


Paul & Joe Lipstick Refills are designed for Paul & Joe's  Lipstick cases. There are 3 different finishes to choose from: sheer, natural or full coverage . They are enriched with Orange Flower Water and White Lily Extract for healthy, hydrated lips. They are super creamy, and it feels very nice when i have it on. This one is shade number 304 Rouge, it's a pretty red with a very nice red shimmer going through (like a very fine red microglitter, you can't feel it on your lips, but when the light hits on your lips WOW! Gorgeous! It's full coverage, it goes opaque with one application and it lasts about 4h! :). It's described as the truest red that absolutely oozes sex appeal. I bought mine from ASOS, the price is £12.
All the pictures are with natural light.
