Ahhhh, we all know the Graze box, we've seen the ads, we've seen the free box codes and we love how much they've grown. I had subscribed to their service a few years back and it's great to see how much they've added to the boxes and the variety of them. I chose to get Graze again because I'm trying to be healthier this year and its just a perfect little snack for when I'm out and about. If you don't know what Graze is (do you live under a rock?) let me tell you abit about them before I go on about how delicious everything is in my box!

Mermaids VS Unicorns; Make Up Revolution Review

 AHHHHAHHHAHHHHH AHHH AAHHH AAHHHHHHH. <--- Yep that's my Ariel impression.

I have wanted this eyeshadow palette from Make Up Revolution for so long! Just the name alone makes me want it. Mermaids VS Unicorns. It sounds magical and looks magical too. For just £4, you can't go wrong.
The palette consists of beautiful sea shades of blues and greens to magical pinks and purples. All shades are shimmery to add to the magical-ness (that's not a word but I don't care)  of it all and the colour is truly eye popping. SO MANY SPARKLES.
I'm more of a neutral colour kinda gal when it comes to my eyeshadow and I wanted something abit different. This palette is perfect for people who adore bright colours and want to look like a beautiful creature at the same time.

You'll be seeing alot of selfies, sporting these shades. :D
The only con side is the poor eyeshadow applicator brush. I'd prefer to use a pro brush.

Have you tried this palette from Make Up Revolution? Let me know!

Which side are you on? Mermaid or Unicorn?

If you want this palette.. You can buy it here.

Coloured Lenses UK: Brillant Blue Freshlook*

Hello everyone! I have a new pair of contacts to review for you today. As some of you may know, I'm putting together a Gentleman Gnar genderbend cosplay for MCM next year and I need some blue contacts to finish off the look. So when the opportunity to work with Coloured Lenses UK came around, I jumped at the chance. There's something addictive about being able to change your eye colour. It makes such a big difference to your look overall and I love how they look!

OMAKASE BETA BOX

After getting all 20 of you guys to sign up to the Viewster's Omakase newsetter (well 16 of you but Viewster noticed my efforts and kindly sent one out to me anyway) I finally got the chance to check out the beta box! Thank you so much!

Makeup Revolution Wishlist

Gosh, it's been a while since my last post! I'm slowly trying to get myself back into blogging. I miss the chats, the people and carefully taking photographs of products I've bought on whims and needed to share with you guys. Since my life is in chaos right now and I'm saving all my money for a new place to live and things to furnish that place with, spending money on make-up etc is something of a luxury at the moment and I can't spoil myself rotten. Everything goes on bills and food right now. So this post is dedicated to all the make-up I'm lusting after from Make Up Revolution. I'm always reading posts about how amazing there products are. I'm not a MUR virgin as a while ago I won a eyeshadow palette from them but I need more from them. So I'm saving up to treat myself and this is what I want.


Ultra Base Corrector Palette - £6
One of their lastest products that everyone is currently raving about. I'm eager to try this out. I am cursed with dark circles, redness and blotchy yellowness on my face and I want rid of them! And I've heard wonders about this product. Look at the pretty pastel colours too! This is the main product I am after and hopefully I can get my hands on it soon!

Ultra Contour Palette -£8
Another one of their lastest products and I have to admit, I've never contoured in my life. This needs to change. I'd probably need some brushes and a tutorial to go with it as I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to chiseling my face and at an £8 price, who could say no?

Concealer in "Fairest" -£2 
I've been using MUA's concealer and to be honest, it doesn't cover well and they don't do more than three shades. Make Up Revolution do. I'm a fair skinned girl and I find it very hard to find products that are a good match. So fingers crossed that this one give me more coverage than the last.

The One Foundation - £4
I'm also looking for a new foundation as I found my last one to be alittle cakey and after a while I noticed that it was looking more yellow on my skin. I'm hoping MUR is The One for me. (That was so cheesy) And at £4, its not going to break my balance too much.

Blushing Hearts Blusher - £4.99
Dubbed the Too Faced blusher and has such pretty packaging that I can't say no to this product and I've been wishing for this for a while now, parousing reviews and looking at pretty instagram photos. I want it and I want it now.

Ultra Brow Arch and Shape - £3.50
I love my eyebrows, they have a really good shape to them once I tweek them alittle with some brow powder or eyeshadow when I run out of brow pencils. This brow arch and shape pen...cil? looks like a perfect brow product to me and I can't wait to get my eyebrows on fleek with this. Did I really just type "on fleek"? what in the world is happening to me?

Mermaids VS Unicorns Eyeshadow Palette - £4
The title of this palette alone makes me want to buy it. So it isn't the usual browns and nudes I go for on my eyelids but would come in handy for events and cosplaying. Plus who doesn't love Mermaids and Unicorns?!

Lip Lava in Forgiven - £2.99
Another Too Faced dupe. I'm just curious about this product. And I want to be able to wear more lipstick out and about. I'm just a wimp when it comes to colour on the lips. This is a beautiful shade and I want to rock it, so thats why I'm lusting after it.


So that is my Make Up Revolution wishlist, for now. They come out with so many new products that I'll want more soon enough.
 

Have you bought any of these products? What are your thoughts on them? If you've reviewed any, let me know and I will check it out :D

Pinky Paradise: Cloud Nine Pink

As some of you may know I am cosplaying Super Sonico at MCM this month and I needed some pink contact lenses to finish off Sonico's look. After asking online which is the best place to get lenses from, Riiri-chan aka Kerri suggested Pinky Paradise to me and that is exactly where I went. I thought I would do a review for you guys since I know a few of you are fellow cosplayers yourselves!

What is Pinky Paradise?
PP is the largest online store for contact lenses. They stock everything from circle lenses to contact accessories and eye care products. There are over 900+ styles to choose from, freebies with each order and if you order over $130 (GBP - £80) you can get free express shipping.





Vassen Cloud Nine Pink
Price                      : £15.30 ($23.90)
Diameter: 14.5mm / 15.0mm
Water Content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: 1 Year Disposal

I ordered the Vassen Cloud Nine in Pink with a bottle of solution to keep my contacts nice and clean. The solution was £3.79 for a 120ml bottle and came with a contact lens case too! They took around 2 weeks to arrive so if you're wanting them for a convention, make sure to order them a few weeks in advance.
 

I was very excited when they arrived. They were well packaged, coming in a bubble lined mailer and wrapped in squishy foam to ensure the bottles did not break during transit.
They come in two little bottles in fluid which keeps them protected and hydrated. Before opening make sure you check for any damage to the lenses by looking underneath & making sure they are the right lenses too!
You can buy prescription lenses but I bought them as -0.00, make sure to check with your optician before buying and inserting lenses to make sure you have the correct prescription.

I removed my lenses from the bottles and left my contacts in the solution overnight as suggested. You should have yours in at least 8 hours in the solution before wearing. For first time wearers, its suggested to use them for 3 hours and then next time for a little bit longer. Ease into wearing them so they are more comfortable for longer use but please don't wear them for more than 8 hours as they will start drying out your eyes.

This is my first time ordering and wearing contacts. I  must say I'm very impressed with Pinky Paradise. I can see why they are the number 1 place to go for lenses. It took me a while to get my lenses in. I was struggling alittle bit but I remembered watching Noodlerellas video on how to get them in and I just went for it.  At first my eye was like WOAH. what the heck is on me and were alittle irritated but after five minutes they adjusted and felt more comfortable. You get used to them quickly and my second time inserting them was alot easier for me. The lenses themselves are a beautiful pink colour and have cloud shape design around them. My eyes are naturally greenish brown so you can see that colour popping out ever so slightly but the rest of the lens blends in nicely. I recommend these to anyone who needs to cosplay Sonico or just wants some cute pink lenses to make their eyes pop! I can't wait to order more. I have my eye on some blue and purple lenses! :D

                              

Here is how I look with them on:


And how I look without the lenses

Enlargement: 5/5

Comfort: 4/5

Colour: 5/5

Overall: 5/5
