URBAN DECAY Naked 2 Palette...£26?

When I find a good deal I want to share it with you guys, as I did with the Clarisonic Mia when it was going for a fraction of the retail price over at BuyaPowa. 

At the moment they are selling the Naked 2 palette which retails for the best part of £40 in the shops. For as  low as £26 you can get this from BuyaPowa.  

Just click the link http://www.buyapowa.com and it will take you straight to it :) then tweet it via BuyaPowa for your chance to get it for absolutely free.

Elle Magazine FREE Soap and Glory Mascara

If you have not got your hands on the latest March Elle mag then I suggest you do sharpish! Now, I never read Elle, the price of £3.90 generally puts me off and this is coming from a magazine lover! Yet when I saw that they were giving away FREE, yes FREE a full size tube of Soap and Glory mascara I HAD to have it. 

Ever since Soap and Glory announced their cosmetics range last year I have been dying to purchase some and try for myself. Having now seen this mascara, I have good feelings about the range and although I have not 'tested' the mascara yet, just the look and feel of it is right up my street! Both the large brush and packaging is very reminiscent of the Benefit Bad Gal mascara and considering the Soap and Glory mascara retails at £10.00 a piece you are already quids in, so head to your nearest newsagents quickly before they all sell out :).

Front Cover Moon Dust Pigments

Hi Everyone, 

I hope that you have all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. 

If you live in the UK then you will know that after Christmas Boots puts all their Christmas gifts at half price. A little disappointing if you have purchased many  gifts beforehand although if you are like me then you will love that this means you get tons of beauty gift sets for a fraction of the price which are generally only available throughout the festive season. 

I had only heard of Front Cover recently and I am not too sure if you can purchase them anywhere other than Boots as this is the only place I have seen them. They basically come in boxes and are makeup 'looks' for either, face, eyes  or lips etc. 

So, I was excited to pick up this box of 8 pigments for only £8.00. Considering you also get an eyeshadow base and applicator it works out less than £1 a pigment, and given what some people pay for MAC pigments then this is quite a bargain. Even at the full price of £16 you would be getting more than your dollars worth :)!

On the right of the box are the products and on the left is step by step tutorial which I actually really liked, I also love the fact it is boxed for easy storage.

I am sure that every as heard of pigments. They are basically loose eyeshadow, usually glittery or iridescent. These can be used either dry or wet with either the applicator brush included or your fingers (which I prefer to use).

Usually when I get a box set of colours there are several that I am not so keen on however considering these are fairly neutral colours bar the lime green, ranging from bronze to gold I like all of them. I am even tempted to test the lime one :).

Although they are no where as large in size as the MAC pigments they are large enough to last a long time considering you only need the smallest amount.

Have you guys got any bargains in the sales? If so I would love to hear about them so please comment and link below :)  

Sleek Face Contour Kit

For a while I have been looking for a contour kit. Up until now I had just been using a regular bronzer to contour and an ELF highlighter. I had heard lately though about the Sleek Face Contour Palette. I'm a great fan of Sleek as like ELF I do believe they are great quality for a cheaper High Street brand of cosmetics. This palette had received great reviews in the blogging and YouTube community so for a bargain price of £6.99 I thought it was worth a try and having used this for the past week or so I do believe I may have found my new favourite product. 

What Sleek has to say about it...

A highlighter and pressed powder kit, which can be used to help sculpt and define one’s features. This product contains two powders. 

The darker powder is used to create shadows on the face, such as defining the jaw line or contouring the cheekbones. The lighter powder is the highlighter, used to reflect light off the face and can be placed in various places such as the apple of the cheeks, the temple, the tip of the nose etc. 14g

This palette comes in 3 shades, light medium or dark. I opted for the light one as it still looked fairly dark and you can always build up for a more intense colour. What I loved was how smooth and soft the powders are. They are slightly 'chalky' in consistency and of course can't be compared to department store brands yet for the price they are of great quality. 

It also comes with an instruction leaflet which may be helpful if you are new to contouring?

What I loved most was the highlighter. Like where has this been all my life? Up until now I had been using cream highlighters and had never tried a powder one so I was keen to test this. It glides on smoothly and leaves a gorgeous glow with a shimmer that just catches the light without leaving your face looking like a human glitter ball :)

With New Years Eve vastly approaching I would seriously advise you check this little gem out. You can purchase this at the Sleek website which can be viewed by clicking here. Or they are available at Superdrugs stores. 

Sorry about the pic qualities as lighting is hard to get right at the moment what with it being so dark early :( 

What are your New Years Eve party products and what do you all have planned?

Clarisonic for £90? Too good to be true? Read on...

Wow, is all I can say. Whilst reading Miss Budget Beauty's blog she mentioned that BuyaPowa were doing the Clarisonic Mia for £90. This is such a bargain given that the RRP price is £120, I know because I have the blue Mia from Space NK and I have never looked back since I bought it, its definitely my product of the year, of my lifetime even and has made such an obvious improvement to my skin I can't ever see me using anything but.

What is Buya Powa...well according to the site this is what they have to say...

The Body Shop Make Up Brush Gift Set

Hey Everyone, 

This is a fairly quick post. Now i'm not one to get excited over gift sets, yet at Christmas time you can usually make mega savings on gift sets. Being a BIG fan of the Body Shop make up brushes I was a little excited to come across this little gem for £25 on the Body Shop website. With Crimbo vastly approaching this would make the ideal starter kit of make up brushes for a friend, sister, girlfriend or wife. I actually own ALL of the Body Shop brushes and you can see my review on them by clicking here. 

£25.00 click here to buy

What you get...

Face and Body Brush - £16 if bought separately
Brow and Lash Comb - £8 if bought separately
Eyeshadow Brush - £9 if bought separately
Lipstick/concealer Brush - £9 if bought separately
Fabric Brush Roll 

The brushes alone purchased individually would cost £42 so you have already made a massive saving. Even if you do not gift these then I would pick them up just for yourself as I think this is a great bargain and sometimes these types of bargains are only available at Christmas time.


Let me know if you have got any bargains over the Christmas...

Beauty find of the day

OMG!  I had to pop to my local Morrisons supermarket this afternoon and whilst in the beauty aisle I happened to come across this selection of tube lip glosses for only £5.00. They are a selection of 6, yes 6 tubes of gorgeous colours including a clear one!


I thought these might be well a bit rubbish TBH however for £5 I thought I may as well try.  And these are absolutely gorgeous, the colours, the smell (which is kind of fruity) and the packaging!


When I first applied they were not sticky which I have found with some glosses, I can actually rub my lips together without them getting stuck which is a bonus and they felt extremely nourishing and moisturising. The smell is a mix between sweets and fruit, I'm undecided on which at the moment.  


They are not small tubes either, each is 12ml and I suspect will last for ages, so if you are anywhere near a Morrisons definitely check out the beauty aisle for these little treats.  

 Thanks for reading - please let me know your latest bargain beauty finds in the comment bar below :)
