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!!!

Nelly.com | Arm Candy

How I manage to find myself on random sites, I have no idea. However, I recently came across the site nelly.com which I believe is a worldwide fashion site that also sells top designer brands as well as high street. Their prices on most things are somewhat affordable for the compulsive shopper, or a luxury to the student that I am. Despite this, I am seriously loving the choice of trends and have everything for everyone and I am going to show you some of my favourite pieces; first is arm candy!

I used to be a fan of lots of bangles or lots of bracelets a couple of years back, but now when I look at those pictures I just feel uncomfortable because it all looks a bit much. After endless scrolling on Lookbook.com and other blogs I have the answer to 'to arm-candy or not to arm candy?'

SIMPLICITY

1. Cilvia SG Powder DYRBERG/KERN £58.95
2. The Ivania Carpio Bracelet NELLY ACCESSORIES £6.95
3. Sally Fine Bangle MI LAJKL £6.95
4. Lola Stiff Bracelet PILGRIM £30.95
5. Ellen Leather Bracelet PILGRIM £30.95
6. Cross Bracelet SOPHIE BY SOPHIE £92.95

CHUNKY CHAIN

1. Megan Bracelet NELLY ACCESSORIES £9.95
2. Stine Bracelet NELLY ACCESSORIES £14.95
3. Benja Leather Bracelet BLOND ACCESSORIES £30.95
4. Diana Bracelet PILGRIM £39.95
5. Croco Bracelet SYSTER P £32.95
6. Pedro Bracelet £49.95

ROPE

1. Bequie Bracelet BEQUIE £13.95
2. Weber Fine Aqua ROYAL BLUSH £134.95
3. Weber Fine ROYAL BLUSH £155.95
4. Star Bangle Light ROYAL BLUSH £230.95
5. Twin Loop Cherry Size ROYAL BLUSH £121.95
6. Ben Leather BUDDHA TO BUDDHA £159.95

Personally, I think some of these bracelets (especially the rope ones) are way overpriced and I've seen some dupes and alternatives in high street stores for a fraction of the price. But I guess it's nice to dream. Some of these I understand are made from real leather, real animal skin, real silver and gold and all that jazz hence the price. But to be honest, when you are wearing it, who is going to realise whether it's real or fake? Good ol' High Street eh?
