NYC Eyeshadow Quad Review


As the Title suggests this is a review on an NYC Eyeshadow Quad which is 815 Best Of Broadway. 
The NYC shadows are super cheap but are amazing quality. I love their shadows and this quad is perfect for a natural look.

I actually used this quad for my cousins wedding a few weeks ago. I believe it was £1.99. I would definitely suggest purchasing this product for a perfect travel size product of natural shadows. You could fit this in your bag on a night out or take it for travelling to create a natural look or even use the black for a more smokey eyed look.

L'Oreal Paris Lip Gloss Review


This is the L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine a Reflexion Lip Gloss in 171 Sheer Pink. This is my absolute Holy Grail Lip Gloss product. I love this, the shade, the texture and the colour. This is probably one of my most repurchased products of all time. 

I currently have one opened product and two back up products I love this so much. It is my go to lip product most of the time and until recently it was usually the only lip product I ever wore for about a 3 year period. I believe it is £4.49 so is a good price, it lasts a long time although I have always used it up, so never had the chance to go bad.

I would definitely recommend purchasing this product. Let me know what your favourite Lip Product is? What's your Holy Grail Product? Got a product you would like me to review? Let me know in the comments, via twitter or email.

So over bank holiday weekend E.L.F had a 50% off sale. Now if you love make up like I do you will understand how difficult this was to not place an order. Now I didn't have the money to buy anything so I resisted mostly but on the Saturday evening I caved and asked my mum if I could lend some money.

Thank god I have amazing parents and I have now repaid my mum after payday. So let's get to what I bought. Firstly the price of all the above items was £41 and I also got two items free as if you spent over £15 in April you got two items free. You got to Love E.LF. So firstly I got a few new brushes; a Complexion Brush, a small Stipple Brush, a Lip Defining Brush and a Flawless Concealer Brush. And a few little tools; I got some tweezers, and a dual sharpener which also came with a single regular sharpener.

Make up wise I got; the HD Powder in Translucent, a Shimmer Palette, a Mineral Booster in Sheer, 2 Studio Blushes in - Blushing Rose and Pink Passion, a baked eyeshadow in - Pixie, a Studio Single Eyeshadow in - Raspberry Truffle, a Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow in - Wine Tour, 2 Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils in - Black Bandit and Precious Pink, 2 Hypershine Lip Glosses in - Fairy and Bubblegum, 2 Luscious Liquid Lipsticks in - Baby Lips and Perfect Pink, a Lip Exfoliator, a Lip Balm Tint in Berry, a Studio Pout Perfector, a Longwear Lip Liner in Mauve Luxe, a Cover Everything Concealer in Medium, and an All Over Colour Stick in Pink Lemonade.

Love Me Beauty Box Product Review



I have been using these products for a few weeks now from my April Love Me Beauty Box. Firstly here is what the products are and what they say. A full size Neal & Wolf Ritual Daily Cleansing Shampoo which retails at £11.50 and is 250ml. It says it is designed to cleanse hair, leaving it fresh, full of shine, and ready for styling. The result - luxurious, easy to manage and radiant locks. 

And a sample size of Redken Colour Extend Conditioner, which retails at £9.99 for 250ml. The sample is 25ml. It is a conditioner for colour treated hair to resurface the cuticle for a smooth vibrant finish. Delta gels and provides protection from fading agents while restoring colour vibrancy.

So far I am loving both of these products. They leave my hair smelling lovely, has a lovely feel to it and is in such good condition. The main thing for me also is that I always wash my hair on a daily basis. I know many people are against this but with most products if I don't wash it daily my hair will get greasy and not look good.

But with these products I am able to wash my hair every other day and it is still in good condition. To be fair I am I'll again so I'm not venturing outside so I don't mind washing my hair every other day but I think I would be happy even if I was out and about or at work to wash my hair every other day with these products.

I would definitely purchase both of these products and suggest them to all my readers, friends and family. Lovely products. Have any products you would like me to try or review? Let me know in the comments below, via twitter or email.

Believe By Britney Spears Review



This is one of my favourite perfumes of all time and is probably one of my most repurchased products ever. Not just most re-purchased perfume but most re-purchased product. I get this every Christmas and every time i go on holiday at duty free. This 100ml bottle is only £20 at duty free whereas it retails for £30 minimum on the high street.

It has such a lovely fragrance and lasts all day. It is my go to perfume which I use on most days and the 100ml bottle can last me a few months. I love perfumes and have a very big collection, low to high end. I will post a few perfume review and if you would like a perfume collection post let me know in the comments below.

Blanx Toothpaste Review



This was a sample size product from my March Love Me UK Beauty Box. It is the White Shock Toothpate which retails at £7.50 for 50ml. Although I did see this product in my local Tesco recently and it was only £5.

It says it is the only toothpaste in the world to contain Actilux, a non-abrasive, peroxide free formula that whitens teeth all day long. It remains active throughout the day, by reacting to light to whiten your teeth naturally, the more you smile, the whiter your teeth will be!

I have been using this for a few weeks now and have definitely noticed my teeth become a shade or two lighter as long as I continue to use on a daily basis.

All the price tag is quite high it is definitely worth it and should last a long time. I have been using the sample size product for a few weeks and I still have a little over half of the product left but I will be purchasing the full size on payday!


Love Me Beauty Box UK April


So I recently received April's Love Me UK Beauty Box. It had a full size Betty Hula Secret Wonder Oil Roller Ball. This retails for £6.25 and is 10ml. It says it is a highly versatile and great smelling moisturising oil. Is suitable for all skin types and it boosts the skins natural moisture barrier to promote radiance, whilst the roller ball works to encourage circulation through gentle massage. 

A Models Own Nail Polish in Fuzzy Peach, another full size product which retails at £5. I am not big on nail polishes but I will be looking to trial this or maybe give it away. Also two sample size of Welda Stretch Mark Cream.

A full size Neal & Wolf Ritual Daily Cleansing Shampoo which retails at £11.50 and is 250ml. It says it is designed to cleanse hair, leaving it fresh, full of shine, and ready for styling. The result - luxurious, easy to manage and radiant locks. 

Lastly, a sample size of Redken Colour Extend Conditioner, which retails at £9.99 for 250ml. The sample is 25ml. It is a conditioner for colour treated hair to resurface the cuticle for a smooth vibrant finish. Delta gels and provides protection from fading agents while restoring colour vibrancy.

I am trialling most of these products over the next few weeks to get a good feel for the products. So watch out for the reviews! Got any products you would like me to review? Let me know via the comments below, twitter or email!

Bargain Brush Set


This Brush set includes; a Foundation Brush, Duo Fibre Brush, Buffing Brush, Angled Kabuki Brush and a Flat Top Kabuki Brush. You can buy these as a set on eBay for around £9.99 or you can bid on them individually and grab a bargain.

I bid on all of these items and purchased two of them twice and all seven brushes cost me a total of £7.83.
They are absolutely amazing brushes, very soft and work just as well as my Real Technique Brushes.
Take a look on eBay and try them out.

Have any bargain brush sets? Let me know in the comments below, on twitter or via email! I will try my best to check some more bargain brushes out and let you know.

Favourite Anti-Perspirant ~ Sure Woman Clear Pure Crystal


I have tried many different anti-per spirants but it took me some time to find one which lasts most of the day and doesn't leave white marks. My favourite would be Sure Women ~ Long Lasting Perfection Clear Pure Crystal (Incredible White Mark Protection). I usually purchase this as the big size as pictured above, I always stock up when they are on offer at 2 for £3 or at £1.99 each. 

This lasts for most of the day and I have never had any issues with white mark. Although I do generally spray once I have put my underwear on, out on my trousers/shorts/skirt then my out my top on.

Favourite Blush


I am obsessed with Blush, I literally have so many but my current two go to products are the two pictured above. 

Firstly, Constance Carroll Powder Blush (40. Rose Blush), I got this for £0.75 from Fragrance Direct and I absolutely love it! Amazing value for money, very good pigmentation, no need to top up throughout the day very good staying power. It gives lovely colour to your cheeks and looks like a natural fresh faced look. 

Secondly, is probably my favourite all time blush as it was one of the first I ever purchased and probably my most re-purchased product. L'Oreal Paris Blush (120 Sandelwood Pink), amazing pigmentation, such a lovely colour/look to it, I generally reach for this on a daily basis for day time or even for work.

Have any blush you really like? Or want me to review? Comment below or contact me via email or twitter. 

Morning Concealer Routine





Once I have used my Primer and Foundation it is then time for concealer. I suffer quite bad with under eye circles and redness under my nose. I have tried many different products but currently my favourite products are the two above. Firstly I use the E.L.F Tone Correcting Concealer, followed by Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer (040 Soft Beige).

I find this is he perfect combination and really helps to cover both under eye circles and redness. And both are very good value. I would definitely recommend using these two products. If you use something different, or want me to review a product? Comment below or contact me via twitter or email.

How Many Black Bags Does One Girl Need??


That is Nine apparently! So one of my other obsessions is bags. As with most girls we love handbags, different sizes, colours and uses. The above bags are from H&M, New Look and Primark.

But mostly they are from New Look. Starting in the top left picture, the top bag is a bigger style clutch from New Look which I believe was £14.99. The bottom is a small clutch from Primark for £6.99. I bought this one for holidays, so I had enough room for money, make-up and my room key.

The top middle picture; both are from New Look. The top one was £17.99 which I bought recently for my cousins wedding, as I needed a smaller clutch style bag but with my recent make-up obsession I needed to fit not only money, my phone and car keys, I also needed to be able to fit some make up brushes, lipstick, lip gloss, powder, concealer and a mini perfume. The bottom is a bag I have had for a while again I think at the time I was looking for a bag with a bit more room this was only £15.99.

The top right picture shows two from Primark, I can't remember how much these wear but I think I purchased both for less than £10. These were both purchased for Insurgence 4 Convention in 2012. The top was for a 1920's themed night and the bottom was a Prom night party.

The middle picture was from a H&M haul I had earlier in the year to cheer myself due to an illness I have had (unfortunately I still have no idea what is wrong, but this blog is helping to keep my mind distracted and make up is keeping me happy). It was £24.99 but I absolutely Love It!! It's the perfect size to fit so many essentials in and I can either put it over my shoulders or hold on my arm.

Lastly the bottom two pictures, again both of these were from New Look. The one on the left was £14.99 and it is an everyday bag for when I don't need to take so much stuff or on a casual night out. And the one on the right is a Bowler Bag which cost £19.99 and I use this for work.

Where do you buy your favourite bags? Do you have a lot of one particular colour? Want me to try out or review a bag, tell me in the comments below!

Elf, Amazon & eBay Haul!


Recently I have been spending way too much money online, here is one of my recent deliveries. From eBay I got a lipstick holder (£2.83 a real bargain), 28 warm eye shadow palette and a Mac 187. Brush this was only (£1.28 it may be a fake but is very good quality and seems real search duo fine brush and you should find it.

On amazon I ordered some real techniques brushes as they were on sale. I got the Blusher Brush, Setting Brush, Expert Face Brush, Powder Brush & the Sponge ( beauty blender dupe). I got all of this for around £35 I believe.

On Elf I spent around £26 which included an Eye Blending Brush, Studio Powder Brush, a Baked Blush ( doesn't show the colour sorry), a Party Purple Flawless Eyeshadow Quad, a Tone Correcting Concealer, and four lipsticks; Classy, Sociable, Seductive and Fearless. As I spent more than £15 I got 2 free gifts - a Super Glossy Lip Shine and a Mineral Eyeshadow in Smoldering. 

All in all a lot of lovely products. Very happy with is Haul.

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess Mascara



This probably has to be one of my favourite mascara's of all time. The L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess leaves your lashes looking flawless, no clumps and no splatters.

The wand is lovely and very easy to use. At £10.99 this is a bit more expensive than some mascara's but is worth every penny. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Have a favourite mascara you would like me to review? write it in the comments below, tweet me @danielleamelia_ or email at danielleamelia5390@gmail.com.

Revlon Colorburst Balm Review




Revlon Balms ColourBurst Review. I have five of these currently. Two Lacquers: - 120 Vivacious and 115 Whimsical. I also have 3 Matte Balms: - 240 Striking, 220 Showy and 205 Elusive.

I love these new Balms, I also have some L'Oreal ones. For the Revlon Balms I prefer the Matte Balms they have so much more pigment, are the colours you expect them to be and the variety of colours is such a nice collection.

However the Lacquer Balms are ok. Not as I expected, the colours were different from the packaging and the pigment was not very good. If you are going to buy any of these, I would definitely suggest you purchase the Matte Balms.

Max Factor Mascara Reviews



I have tried a lot of different Mascara's. I have found Max Factor Mascara's are very good. The above four are the ones I have tried and I love them.

Firstly, I have the False Lash Effect Mascara which says it gives full lashes and a natural look. I have this in black brown colour and is waterproof. I try to always buy waterproof mascara as I am quite emotional. This is very nice though, perfect application and makes lashes look full.

Secondly, Masterpiece Mascara in black waterproof and this is described as a high definition mascara. This is probably my favourite. A really Black colour, doesnt splatter or make a mess, just goes on very nice. If you were only to buy one I would suggest it was this one.

2000 Calorie Mascara is described as waterproof volume in rich black. Another lovely Mascara, gives the lashes volume and no clumps.
Lastly, the Wild Mega Volume Water Resistant Luminising Mascara in Black. Another lovely mascara, no clumps.

Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Liner Review



I have never been very good at applying Eye Liner on my top Lid. By this I mean my whole eye would be black and it would be a mess. But I saw a review on this particular eye liner and I thought I would give it a try. 

This eye liner is amazing! It has a small applicator which makes it so easy to perfectly apply Eye Liner to your Top Lid. I would definitely suggest using this eye liner.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review



Dream Matte Mousse Foundation £7.69. I used this foundation for a few years, I had this in Ivory. As you can tell for a long time I was using a foundation which was too light for me, I have very poor lighting in my room currently. But as a whole this is a very nice foundation, it wears quite well but you do need to top up throughout the day.

This was a product which I re-purchased again and again, I was very much in love with this product. I would definitely recommend this product just ensure you purchase the best colour for your skin tone.

Miss Sporty So Matte Perfect Stay Foundation



Another Foundation review. Miss Sporty So Matte Perfect Stay. I have this in Shade 03 Meduim, is a very lovely foundation at a cost of £3.49. This is quite a low coverage foundation, so if you suffer from breakouts this is probably not the best foundation for you.

But if you have quite clear skin or are going through a few good skins day this a very good product with a very low price figure.

No.7 Stay Perfect Foundation



I am sure you have all seen the advert in which you can go into a local boots and get your perfect match for your skin tone and which foundation you can buy. The test was done on my face over make up I already had on and so it said I was a Warm Ivory. I did this about a year ago and for about 6 months I used this every day and still it is as if it has barely been used.

At a cost of £14.00 this is very good value but only if you are able to find the perfect match. This is a bit light for my skin tone, so I am not using so much now but I would recomment this. But when you go to find your match, ensure you are not wearing any make up as this could give you incorrect results.

Setting Powder Review's



For setting powder's I have a few options that I use, which can be used by all different budgets. Firstly, I have the NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder in Translucent. This is very good to use and at a good price of £1.99.

Secondly, I use the Collection Pressed Powder in Translucent which is £2.00 and again a lovely product. Going a little more high end within the drugstore, I use L'oreal Nude Maguiqe BB Powder in Meduim £6.99. This is not only a good setting powder but also gives some coverage also. This is one of my favourites.

Lastly, I use Revlon Nearly Naked in Fair/Light £10.99. This is a lovely as a setting powder, but I also have in Meduim for more coverage. Very nice, lasts all day and keeps the foundation where it should be. If you have a bit more of a budget for a setting powder this is a good one to get. 

If you have used any of these or have any suggestions leave them in the comments below. Or if there is a product you would like me to review? Leave in the comments below, tweet me @danielleamelia_ or email me at danielleamelia5390@gmail.com

Revlon Colorstay Review



On the recommendation of one of my favourite Beauty Bloggers Miss Budget Beauty, I decided to try the Revlon Colorstay Foundation. I got this in Natural Beige. I have tried it a few times, but I love it. It is a lovely shade and has a lovely finish. I haven't worn it for a long length of time but from what I have seen so far I can see it holding up very well.

This would definitely be a product I would suggest you purchase. They have a lovely selection of shades and the last time I was in Superdrug they had a 3 for 2 offer on all Revlon Products.

Max Factor Foundations Review



As you are all probably aware finding the perfect foundation is very difficult. I have recently tried some of the Max Factor range of foundations as I found the shade Warm Almond fit me very well.

I started off with the Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation. I found this was very nice and gave a full coverage with a flawless look. This was £12.99 and at the time there was 3 for 2 on all Max Factor Product's so I bought two and a new Mascara.

I then decided I would try more foundations in the same shade to see if they worked the same to try to save a little bit. The second I tried was the Face Finity All Day Flawless. It is exactly as it says, it is my favourite of the three, it lasts all day as long as you set with a powder and is a perfect match for me. I believe this was the cheapest at £9.99.

Lastly, I tried the Whipped Cream Foundation which was £11.99 (I think). This again was very nice but was more of a meduim coverage. It did last quite well throughout the day, but if on a longer shift 9/10 hours it would start to decrease in coverage.

All in all they are all lovely foundations, I would definitely suggest trying these. See if they have your colour. A little tip I have learn't recently is the colour of your face is around 2 shades darker then the colour of your hands. So if you do test foundation on the back of your hand, if it blends perfectly this is too light for your skin tone.
**THIS may not work for everyone, this is just something that has worked for me**

eBay Delivery



So I got this little delivery today. It's another eye shadow palette, but it's warm and neutral tones. It was an absolute bargain at £3.20 and it came with a 7 piece brush set which is quite nice.

Lovely pigmentation in the eye shadows and so many lovely colours to choose from. If you are looking for some palettes eBay is a must! 


This is all the colours in the palette. 


Here is the brush set which comes in a brush roll. All very nice. 


Benefit Sets


So for a while I have wanted to try some more high end products. I have heard good reviews on Benefit products. I went in and had a free makeover to find my shade and have a feel for the products.

The skin care set was £14.50 and is very lovely. I have been using this the last few days and it has made me skin feel lovely and look much healthier. Very good value and size of products will last quite a long time I can imagine.

The Flawless Complexion Set (Not sure on the name) was £24.50. It came with the POREfessional Primer (I LOVE this), Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation in Honey, Boing Concealer in 2 shades, the Hello Flawless Powder in Honey and a Benefit Brush as pictured above. Once I have the funds I will be purchasing many of these items and more from Benefit, lovely products and worth the price.

Not So Little iPad Mini Cases


So I did my Pretty Little iPhone cases post. Now here is my Not so Little Mini iPad cases. Again I have quite a few of these from just a back cover to a full case, a full travel case and I also have a waterproof case (this is not pictured above).

My Favourite one currently is on the top line third along, as I love the colour, style and is very thin unlike some cases which make the tiny iPad feel much bigger and bulky. Most of these cases are between £3 - 10. The most expensive is the one with the Keyboard attached which was £12.99 but these are usually much more expensive.

I always purchase iPad cases on amazon, don't settle for the first one you see, keep looking and you will find an amazing bargain.

eBay Haul 2!


A little eBay delivery I got this week. An 8 piece brush set which was £1.99 I got this mainly for the eye shadow brushes, but the quality is not very good very tough brushes.

Two perfume atomisers, these were £1.49 each and very useful for taking a smaller size option of your favourite perfume when leaving home.

Lastly I got a Wet n Wild Blusher £1.99 I belive, very lovely product, nice shade and very pigmented.
I will have many more eBay Hauls coming up as I have been unstoppable on eBay recently, I just can't resist a bargain.

Primark Haul


Sorry about the slightly blurry picture. I love Primark as you can get some really good deals. One of the products I love and purchase the most would be the blusher/powder brush pictured above. It is only £1.50, is really soft and works lovely. I use this to set my foundation with powder as it is very light and covers everything needed.

I am a bit of a sock freak, I love them, especially having/wearing new socks. They are usually between £1.50 - £3.00 for 5 pairs of socks. Most of my friends and family moan at me as I like to wear socks with my Dolly Shoe's as I like my feet being warm, but I also like to have them as bright and colourful to make me smile and brighten up the day. I do sometimes match them to my outfit.

I also purchased a 2 pack of little silver earrings, very sweet only £1.50. The Coral Purse to match my new Black&Coral bag only £3.00. Lastly the primark face wipes for removing make-up. I usually purchase the ones in pink packaging as it is my favourite colour. They work very well at removing all my make up and only £1 for 2 packs.

You always have enough money for a Primark Haul. Go take a look at some very nice products at a very inexpensive price.

Mini New Look Haul


On Wednesday I did a lot of shopping, I thought I would just browse in New Look. But then I saw this lovely bag which is Black&Coral, some amazing wedged black heels. Also I bought some jewellry products; some silver studs and a lovely little bracelet. I have a New Look Store Card so currently this hasn't cost me anything yet.

Only use Store Cards if you know you can make regular payments on them, as late payments can be high and could give you bad credit history if you are not a good payer.

Washing Brushes


So for the first time this week I wash my Make Up Brushes. For this I put the sponge above onto a hand towel, put Johnson's Baby Shampoo on the sponge, dipped the brushes into water and then washed them on the sponge. I was very surprised just how dirty you brushes can be.

You can use this method for my deep cleaning or spot cleaning. Although it would be quicker to spot clean without using water and just using a brush cleaner. If you spot clean every day to every couple of days you will not have to deep clean as often but you should deep clean your brushes once a month.

The Above picture is the side of the sponge I used to clean all my eye brushes, blusher brushes, bronzer brush, concealer brush and contour brush. Below is the side I used to my foundation brush and powder brush. I was very surprised how dirty the foundation brushes are.


 





Flat Top Kabuki Brush


So after recently purchasing the Real Techniques Core Collection I have fallen in love with the Buffing Brush. It is my absolute favourite brush for applying foundation and it gives a flawless look. So I took to eBay to see if I was able to find anything similar but a bit cheaper.

I found this Flat Top Kabuki brush which is part of a set of 5 brushes; you can either buy the set together for £9.99 I think, or Bid on the brushes individually. I took a chance a bidded individually on the brushes. I bought this and a Angled Kabuki twice, and the rest of the set also.

The Flat Top Kabuki pictured above is also known as B05, and I purchased both for £0.99 each with Free P&P. I used this brush to apply my foundation this morning rather than my trusted Buffing Brush. I found the brush was just as good, is really soft and such a lovely brush. I would definitely recommend purchasing this brush and once I have received all the brushes I will post a review of them all and a link to be able to purchase them. They are easy to find on eBay though.

Below is a picture of the brush at a different angle. 









Love Me Beauty UK Box



So I recently found out about beauty boxes. There are many different boxes available to purchase, you should look into them all to decide which you would prefer. I had a look at 3 different brands; Love Me Beauty, Birch Box and Glossy Box.

I sent a tweet to one of my favourite bloggers Miss Budget Beauty, who has a 10% discount code for her readers with Love Me Beauty box so I decided to try this box. The box contains 4 - 6 products depending on which box you choose and which edition you decide to pick.
The more boxes you purchase at a time, the less the boxes will cost. So maybe start on 1 - 3 boxes and then if you are happy it will be better value for money to purchase a yearly subscription.

I am very happy with the products I received in this months Love Me Beauty Box. I received a Full Size Nip+Fab Post Workout Fix, Full Size Gracie Fake Lashes, and sample sizes of Blanx Whitening Toothpaste, Murad's Pore and Lining Hydrator and Quintessentially English Bath Salts. This was well worth the £10 price of the box as for example the Nip+Fab product would be £9.95 to purchase in store or online.

So go check out which Beauty Box you would like to purchase and let me know in the comments below what you find. And if you already purchase a Beauty Box tell me what you think below?

eBay Haul!!


Due to my recent Make up obsession I have been on eBay a LOT!!!! lately and have been getting a lot of goodies in the post. Most of this was from eBay but some products were from Xtras and fragrance direct.

Both those sites and eBay have some amazing deals, you can get some real make up bargains. I will do a post on my fave ebay sellers soon but until then tell me your faves in the comments below!

On eBay I got a concealer palette, some Royal eye shadow brushes, and the mini brush set . All for 6 pound.
On Xtras I got the Model Co. Mascara with eyeliner, an eyeshadow brush, Rimmel Blusher, Wet & Wild Concealer and 2 Rimmel Lip Glosses. All for 11 pounds.
On Fragrance Direct i got a silk finishing powder, 2 bronzers, Rimmel Blusher, 2 Constance Carroll Blushers, Calvin Klein Blusher, 2 Manhatten powders, Miss Sporty Powder and a Bourjois Blusher. All for 21 pound.

If your looking for a product keep looking! Ask if you need help!
