My favourite lipstick's from the drugstore swatches and review's!

I was organizing my make up and thought i would do a my favourite's post on the many many lipsticks i own! (mainly from the drugstore)

Red's

 Going from left to right for the swatches:

MUA LUXE- Reckless ... A deep dark red liquid lipstick that sets to a matte finish that feels creamy and lasts a long time, however i have found that one layer is perfect and if you layer more it tends to stick together and end up looking awful £3

Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Color - Theodora ... The high end red i put in here because it is one of my favourite red's of all time (Alongside the Urban Decay lip liner in "Mrs Mia Wallace") it glides on beautifully with beautiful colour pay off, it is very glossy and wears very well £14

Barry M Loud Mouth Extreme Lip Colour - Tease ... A product i assume to be similar to OCC Lip Tar's and is a lovely vibrant red. The product on it's own however feels a bit slippery if that makes sense haha but used on a brush on top of another red lipstick or a lip liner it beings a bit of shine and an intense colour £4

Elf Matte Lip Color - (No Name) ...A not so creamy matte lipstick, not as dark as the other reds but the staying power is very good and the smell it has is very potently mint which i like £2-£3

Beauty UK - Vampire ... Slightly matte dark red that is wonderful for the price of £3.49 

Boujois Deluxe - Prohibiton 01 ... Creamy medium red, it wear lovely with a red lip liner but sometimes becomes smudgy without one underneath £7-£8

Cargo Vintage Escape Eyeshadow Palette Swatches and Reviews!

Well hellow there lovelie's!

I was quite unfamilliar with the brand Cargo, I had a few lip products but i never had any of the eyeshadow's and i have to admit i was incredibly impressed!

First of all i love the packaging, the brown leather is quite unusual but i love the simplicity of it! it also has a magnetic close at the front which makes it very easy to travel with.

Secondly i think they got the variety of colour's just right in this palette! it is versatile and you can create a wide range of looks from a light daytime look to a smokey eye with ease. There are also a couple of strange colour's in this palette opposed to Naked by Urban Decay such as "Withered leaves" and "Autumn" the green is absolutely wonderful and is a perfect colour if you just want something different without being to daring and "autumn" is a great colour to blend into the crease with.

The palette comes with a dual ended brush, the angle brush is easy to create a liner with and the fluffier shadow brush is soft and blends lovely.

The quality of the eyeshadow's are incredibly good!

They are extremely pigmented (All except "black crow" that is the only colour that does not have the same colour pay off) 

The shadow's are buttery and blend like a dream. 

There are 4 matte colour's in the palette

"Hot Cocoa" - A light brown/taupe

"Autum" - A kind of brick/brown colour

"Black Crow"- A simple black

"Chesnut" - A rich dark brown/purple

There are 8 shimmer/glitter shades 

"Harvest moon" - A sheer light shimmer 

"Crisp"- A glittery champagne

"Cuddle"- A light shimmery pink

"Frolic" - Almost metallic taupe

"Cinnamon" - Again almost metallic gold/copper

"Twigs" - A mid blue shimmer

"Withered leaves" - A lovely light forest green

"Rustic" - a rich copper/red/brown shade

I used "Crisp"all over the lid with "Autumn" and "Hot Cocoa through the crease

"Harvest Moon" as a highlight and "Chesnut" as the eyeliner 

Simple and pretty (:

I used "Chesnut" all over the lid and along the bottom lash line with "Black Crow" through the outer crease and "Autumn" throughout the crease.

Overall i am incredibly impressed with this palette and keep on finding looks from it.

For the price i think it is worth it if you are looking for something new, I have seen them vary from £15-£30
