Review : BeautyUK Palette in Soho

Hey awesome people! I am feeling sick again. But I really want to post some beauty related stuffs because I only have a few of that this month. So, I will start with this cute and colorful palette from BeautyUK.

"Beauty UK offers affordable, high quality make-up and cosmetics with the latest range of colours and shades to help you achieve your own individual look."

--- www.beautyukcosmetics.com

If you haven't heard about BeautyUK yet, it is a famous drugstore brand that offers a wide variety of products for a very affordable price. Nowadays, there are tons of online shops here in our country that offers BeautyUK products.

[ Check out Skye Avenue. ]

I am a neutral kind of girl but I wanted to have at least a few colorful eye shadows in my collection. When I saw this, I really wanted to get it right away but I didn't. When I saw the Multiply Frenzy thing, I knew I needed to grab that chance to get my hands on these. 
So, I got 2 BeautyUK palettes, the Earth Child palette and this Soho one. I got it last July from Skye Avenue for Php 300.00 only.  

[ July Online Shopping Haul HERE ] 

I will review the BeautyUK Palette in No.2 Soho Bright first. :)

Here is how it looks like. 

At the back you can see the Ingredients and some other information. 

It contains 10 colorful eye shadow. It reminds me of water color! :P Super cute!
Some are semi matte and some has a little bit of shimmers on it. 
The size, I think is comparable to a 25 centavos. 
 

Here are the swatches. 

And here are my favorites out of the 10 shadows.

PROS ♥
--- Very affordable! Php 300 for 10 eye shadows is a pretty sweet deal. 
---  Good color pay off. What you see is the color you get. 
--- The eye shadows are soft and it is easily blendable. 
--- If used with a good primer, I think it will last pretty long. And also, if you use a base the colors will pop out more. 
--- The palette is small enough that it can fit any purse or even your kikay kit. It won't eat up tons of space. 
--- Even if it's small, it contains a lot of products. 

CONS
--- Contains  TALC and PARABENS. 
--- Not all eye shadows are that pigmented. I had high hopes with this product. But I was a little disappointed. But for its price, I think it is okay.
--- Some are really chalky/powdery. So you might experience fall outs. 
---  Without using a primer, it won't last that long. 
--- The shadows are soft that is why it can be easily broken. 
--- The packaging looks and feels cheap. The cover is made of cheap plastic thingy. 

TIP: 
I use a wet brush with this shadows that's why I don't experience that much fall outs. 
I also use an eye shadow base [ NYX JEP in Milk ] which helps the colors to pop out more. 

Will I recommend?
If you are a first timer, I think it is a good product that you can practice with. 
I love the colors. I love the variety of palettes. And I will recommend it for beginners. 

Will I repurchase?
No. I still have a lot of products left on the palette. And I would love to explore more on products with better quality. 

Overall, I think for its price and what it can offer. It is a pretty awesome palette.
It is a handy dandy palette that you can bring around and play around with.

I hope this was helpful. :) Stay tuned for my review on the Earth Child palette.

Review: NYX Xtreme Lip Cream

More than a week ago, I ordered some stuffs from Skye Avenue. [ haul HERE ]

And Ate Dee, the owner, was super nice to give me a few items to review. She gave me this NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Nude Peach Fuzz. I haven't tried this yet but the SMLC I have. And I loved it. So, I was super excited when I got this. 

For those of you who haven't heard about NYX. It is a drugstore cosmetic brand from the US that carries lipsticks, blushes up to eye shadows. They have almost every kind of makeup. I am not sure if we have NYX stores locally, but you won't have a hard time finding their products because they are all over the internet. This brand, I think, is one of the MOST famous cosmetic brand that a LOT of online shops sell nowadays. 

Anyways,the product look like this. It looks like a teeny tiny lip gloss, huh?! :) 

"Beautify your lips with this velvety rich lip cream that provides extreme pigmentation with a silky and glossy finish. This lip cream is a hybrid of lipstick, lip gloss and lip stain with intense pigmentation all in one. "

--- www.nyxcosmetics.com

It's not a gloss, nor a lipstick. I like it! :) 

The packaging looks cute and chic. I love how it perfectly fits my purse or the pockets of my bag. It can even fit inside the pocket of my jeans. Its super cute! :) 

And just like any other lip gloss, it comes with the sponge tip applicator. 

I got the shade NUDE PEACH FUZZ. And I think it really is true to its name! Its has a great color pay off. 

Here is a little hand swatch. But if you want to see me wearing it, check my EOTD that I posted yesterday. [ click HERE ] . 

I like it, but I don't love it. Lemme show you the PROS and CONS. :)

PROS.

* The consistency is thick. BUT it doesn't feel thick when you apply it. And I LOVE that about this product. ♥

* It isn't TOO glossy or shiny. It just have the perfect amount of shine. ♥

* It has a great pigmentation! ♥

* It is super cute. It fits my purse perfectly. It is small enough to even fit in my pocket. ♥

* It isn't drying. Well, I wear my Carmex lipbalm before I apply it though. 

* It makes my lips look fuller and thicker... and plumper. [ I like it.. but I don't sometimes. :P ] ♥

* It is affordable. ♥ 

CONS

* It has this weird scent. It reminds me of the clay that I love to play with when I was a kid. hehe

* It doesn't compliment my morena skin because I think I look darker every time I wear it. 

* It doesn't really last that long. After 2-3 hours, it's gone. 

Will I recommend?

Yes. It isn't a must have though. But it is a great addition in mine and your makeup stash as well. :) If you don't like it super shiny or super matte, this is perfect for you! 

Will I repurchase?

Yes. But not the same shade. I would love to try the pink and red ones. 

You can buy this product or other NYX products from Skye Avenue. I highly recommend the shop! Ate Dee is super nice. :)

I like it, but I don't love it. I hated didn't like it during the first few times I used it, but I am starting to appreciate it more now. :) 

I would love to try some other shades, though. I think it's just the shade that I don't like that much. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this short review. *short ba?! hehe

Online Shopping Haul [ JULY ]

Haul Time! hehe This past few weeks I have been avoiding the mall and online stores cause I am saving up for a few stuffs that I really want to have. I have been saving up for NAKED palette, SIGMA brush sets, MAC lipsticks and maaaany more! :) I have a goal e! hehe 

BUT, last week when I got home. I signed in to fb and the very first thing I saw was Ate Dee's / Skye Avenue's post. 

Php 500.00 OFF for a minimum purchase of 1000 pesos??!! That's such a steal! Multiply's Discount Frenzy was going on that time, and it only lasted for 30 minutes. 

So, I clicked the link and without thinking twice I bought some stuffs. hehe 

Oh and the internet was acting up that time, and I was starting to panic and all. It is crazy! I even tweeted Ate Dee asking how many time was left cause I was having a hard time with the connection and I was afraid that I won't be able to use the code. hehe 

Anyways, so I ordered Wednesday. Then I paid on Friday and got my package today, Monday. I wasn't expecting it to arrive today. So, I am a happy camper! :) 

The products were sealed nicely. I am impressed! I love that it was wrapped to assure that I will get the items without any damage. 

Here are the things I bought from Skye Avenue. 

1. Chocolate Wax Kit for Php 199.00

2. Krave Minerale's Pretty Young Thin - Php 310.00

3. Beauty UK palette in Soho - Php 300.00

and

Beauty UK palette in Earth Child - Php 300.00

All in all the total amount was 1185 but minus 500. So, I only paid 685! It was such a great deal! :) 

And then I told Ate Dee if she wants someone to review any of the products she sells. I would love to do it for her. So, she included a few others products for me to review. She's super nice! Even though I am a newbie and all. She still trusted me. ! appreciate it so much! :) 

She gave me...

* A beautiful pair of earrings

* MeMeMe Poppy Tint

* Beauty UK Lip Lust in no.11 [ Office Chic ] 

* NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Nude Peach Fuzz

THANKS ATE! Super! :) Thank you for being so nice! ♥

All the products mentioned above are from Skye Avenue. You guys should check it out! Ate Dee, the owner, is super duper nice! I have encountered a few sellers that are nice at first, but then after you ordered and paid. GRABE! Snob na! :D But Ate Dee is'nt like that. She's super friendly even though sobrang kulit ko na. hehe THANKS again ate! :) ♥

So, you guys have to expect a lot of reviews from makeups from UK! :) I am excited! 

And also, you guys should stay tuned for a good news...very soon! ♥
