Jurlingo eyeshadows

Hi my lovelies!

When watching a youtube video recently, The lady in the video was showcasing the Jurlingo eyeshadow.  I thought they looked so lovely that I just had to give them a go! 

They come as single pan eye shadows but for every four you buy you get a holder palette for free!  (this applies to the seller I am linking.  I can't be sure of other sellers)

The first thing I noticed was the packaging it came in.  It had come from china but was so well packaged not one of the pans were damaged.  The boxes for each individual pan was strong and each pan came in a protective plastic insert.  They also came within ten days of being ordered.

The palette includes a little mirror and double ended applicator.

The colours are so striking that it hard to choose a favourite! But I think this gold colour has it licked!  It's so striking and looks so lovely when applied that I can't help but love it! 
I tried to get a good photo of it on my eyes but trying to do an up close selfie with a camera proved beyond me!





  When I tested them they are so pigmented and strong in colour that a little goes a long way.  I can see these becoming my recent buy favourites!  They are marketed as "Diamond eyeshadow" and boy are they!

This blue colour would be perfect for a night out and to get that shimmery 80s look that we all crave at one time or another!

I just love this lilac and rose combination.  A sure fire hit for a night out or even for day wear.










I'm totally in love with these shadows and I can see them seeing me right through summer into the Autumn/winter season!

If you are interested in buying these they can be found here  at the time of posting they were priced at £1.65 per pan.  A total bargain if you ask me!

Well, time is upon us once again!  It is time for me to pop off and see what the day brings.

Drayon metalic liquid lipsticks

Hello lovelies!

I'm feeling better.  Thank you for all the lovely comments and get well messages I received.  My brother is also doing well and had been moved back to our local hospital.  Unfortunately I am unable to see him due to cross contamination but I managed to see him over face time and although he cant speak we managed to communicate.

So while I was in hospital a package came for me.  I had ordered some Metallic liquid lipsticks from Aliexpress.  It seemed like ages since I ordered them but in reality it was probably only about five weeks.  They came from China so that was the reason for the delay.  I only ordered two colours as I was unsure if I would like them and didn't want to waste money if they were unusable.

Firstly the packaging is very pretty, it has a lovely gold coloured lid/wand handle.  There is gold detailing to the tube which make the product appear much more expensive than it was.  In fact these products cost only 83p each with free shipping!  If you don't mind waiting for them to arrive they are great!


I ordered shade 05 which is a gold colour and shade 11 which is a mixture between a rose gold and bronze kind of colour.   The formula is very light and you need to apply a couple of coats to get a good effect.  The product smells lovely,  just like walking into you childhood sweetie shop.  Some people may find this over powering as the smell is quite strong but I found it OK.

Upon wearing I found that the product lasted no more than a hour tops.  Its definitely not a long lasting lipstick but when it is on it is very striking.  The colours are bold and very strong.  I found the lipsticks left my lips a  little dry but not too dry.  I applied lip balm afterwards and everything was OK.  This is a problem I have with lipsticks so I think maybe this was my lips rather than the product. However I did find the formula to be over sticky!

If you are looking for a striking bold statement lipstick I would recommend these.  and at 83p a pop you can afford to apply every hour!  You can find them here

I hope this has been a helpful review and if you'd like to see more of my bargain buy cosmetics please comment below!

I hope to see you here again soon.  Bye for now
