Fashionista Makeup | Review and Giveaway

Hey everyone, so excited to be holding my first giveaway for all my lovely supporting subscribers on Youtube. It will be featuring this fabulous brand I discovered at Superdrug, called Fashionista. I've only seen their nail polishes promoted by the Saturdays in other branches but in the Oxford branch they had the full hog of their collection; from eyeshadows to blushes to lippies. I thought I'd give the eyeshadows a try as they were on a fantastic deal -  fill up a palette and get a free mascara (prices will be below). I bought the six palette as you can see below. I opted for a neutral palette with some fun baked eyeshadows for evening times. I've swatched the colours for you on my skin tone but remember, they will show up differently on different skin tones. 




1. Double Take (Baked Eyeshadow) Golden Dragon Shade 2
Green sparkly with golden flecks
2. Double Take (Baked Eyeshadow) Radiant Shade 7
Brown sparkly with golden flecks
3. Double Take (Baked Eyeshadow) Bella Shade 5
White sparkly with golden flecks
4. Chocolate Dream Shade 23
Dark Brown Metallic
5. Nude Shade 20
Matte nude beige 
6. Black Out Shade 5
Matte Black



Well What Do I Think?

Well I personally think they are amazing, the colour payoff is amazing, and so are the other colours. They have such a vast range of colours and shades and finishes so you can never have enough fun with them. They blend so easily as well so creating the perfect smokey eye is so easy to do. I've already worn these colours with different outfits, ranging from casual to formal. They also stay on very well with the help of my elf eyeshadow primer.

Below is the free mascara I chose (there were 3 to choose from). I chose this one as I'm very picky with the mascaras I use. This is due to the fact I have very small eyelashes that curl upwards instantly so I look for something with a comb and a formula that will lengthen and separate them. I've used this mascara within the past week and I just can't get enough of it. The brush has longer bristles on one side and shorter ones on the opposite side. This is to help you get those pesky little hairs that you usually miss, achieving a much fuller look.







THE GIVEAWAY

As I have enjoyed this product so much, I thought it'd be a great idea to get one for my subbies too. I picked a four palette with four colours I have in my palette. They are the neutral ones with various finishes so you can create any look you'd like. In addition, I'm throwing in the mascara as well!!!

Jeans for Jeansday

Seeing as a lot of you enjoyed my 'How I Style | Collar Necklaces', i decided to do another 'How I Style'. But this time I'm focusing on jeans. These are a staple of everyone's wardrobe, both men and women.

This autumn/winter trend is focused on well tailored trousers and jeans that suit your silhouette and give you a put together look. This summer, I have bought quite a few pairs of jeans to add to my wardrobe and give my style a bit of 'oopmh'. So, to show you how I'll style them all, I've divided them into categories and every week or so, I'll post another video and post of how I style that particular jean. Before then, let me leave you with what the fashionistas are saying about jeans and how they style them.
Images do not belong to me and therefore all creditation goes to them. Where I can I will leave links of where you can find these images. These are all from Lookbook.com - you should sign up and keep up to date with how people are styling, its fun! Thanks :)
