Elf Eye liner = Definite no no!

Ok, so elf is £1 makeup, so you aren't meant to think it's the best. But reading the reviews of there eyeliner, I don't think it's the best in the market.
The reviews say:

Watery
Smelly
Sticky
Sore on eyes
And the bottle can be very hard to open.

So, I really don't think this product is recommended to anyone. maybe go for the MUA one that is also a pound.

Nail Supreme Review!

OK.
So I am going to do a Nail Supreme review!
I have been using nail Supreme since I got it for my birthday in 2010. I originally found it when we went to Hamleys ( A toy store) for my little sister to spend her vouchers from her birthday. I really loved the idea of applying a base coat and then being able to design a pattern on it when it is dry. So I got it for my birthday and that day when i came home from school I opened it and used it for the very first time.
So, I really like these polishes. What is Unique about them is that you can draw on your design, so you can make your nails any design you want. When I saw the box in Hamleys, it looked really nice with the Gold background and the polishes sitting in it. That I think is always something that draws your attention to things.
So the nail colours are really nice, you can apply them without hassle and they dry quickly. They don't chip though it is easy to take of with nail polish remover.
The pen side of things is kind of the same, though when applying it, it can get quite watery and run down your finger, so that is really annoying, also the colours aren't as strong as the polish itself, even though they come out of the same tube.
Apart form that, the nail polishes are amazing. I don't really know where to get them except from Hamleys, so you might need to do some searching for them before you find them.
I give this product 9.5/10 The only thing that lets me down the slightest of bit, is the pen, Though I definetley recommend this products to other people.
Nail Supreme comes in 2 different boxes:
Nails Supreme Nail Polish Decorating Kit - Metallic SetNails Supreme Nail Polish Decorating Kit - Matt Set

New Sephora Limited edition Makeup!

So I was looking on Sephoras website as I don't have a Sephora near me. I think the closest one is in the Netherlands which means I would have to travel overseas.
So I don't buy anything from Sephora as I don't think they ship to the UK, though I will have to check it out.
When I was looking about, I saw 2 new Limited Edition Sephora Eyeshadow, lip and blush palette which looks just like the smaller version of the Blockbuster palette.
So the first one is called Colour Play 5 in 1 II Fashion Edition.
It costs a total of $150, but for Sephora, that's a really good price for what you are getting. There are 5 sub palettes, each containing 10 eyeshadows, 2 lip colours and 1 blush. That is a total of 50 eyeshadows, 10 lip colours and 5 blushes! I cannot post a picture of it just now, but feel free to go on the Sephora website and check it out! It really does look AMAZING!
The second one is just called Colour Palette and that contains: 32 must have eyeshadows, 16 beautiful lip colours, 3 blushes and one shimmery bronzer. It costs $120, It is a cheaper price than the Colour Play palette, but only by a little.
I hope you enjoy these products if you buy them, and I am sure that Sephora would be very happy with you!
*Sephora also has a very strict return policy (In a good way) as it is free returns shipping if you are not completely satisfied with it. Also it is free shipping with over $50 AND to make things even better, you get 3 free samples with every order! It's a win win win!
I hope you enjoy these amazing offers!

* I don't work for Sephora and I am not getting paid to advertise either. This is my review on what the new Limited Edition Palettes LOOK like, not what they are actually like in real life.

MUA Cosmetics review

This is my MUA Cosmetics review!

MUA, is a brand in Superdrug that costs £1.
Yes, an eyeshadow costs: £1
A Lipgloss or lipstick costs: £1
An eye-liner or some Mascara costs only £1!

To be perfectly honest with you for £1 it's TOTALLY worth it! I would probably even buy them if they cost £10 there that good!
The packaging is okay for £1 makeup, but it if you were buying from NARS or MAC, I think you might take it back for the packaging.
The colours are very strong, and they apply very well. You can easily smudge them for a smokey eye look, and the mascara does not clump your eyelashes together. It makes them feel like real lashes instead of spider legs!
The Lipgloss and lipstick is also really nice. The Lipgloss isn't too sticky, so if it is a windy day, your hair wont stick to it like glue. The lipstick is also like that. They are strong vibrant colours, and also apply really well. On the bottom of the lipstick there is a small circle where you can see the lipstick without opening it, so that is quite handy.
The liner and the eye dust's are also great. The liner doesn't smudge and the eye dusts  don't make that much of a mess, though they can be quite hard to get into.
The blushes, bronzer and pressed powder apply very well, and the blush can either be applied as a strong colour or a weaker one.
The nail polishes are also very strong colours, but chip a quite easily. Though there is a lot in the bottle for your money!
So altogether, I rate this product: 10/10
The only teeny thing that lets it down is the eye dust and there packaging when you opening. Though I guess you don't want bright green eye dust all over your cream carpet do you?
