Eco Tools. Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set.
,
Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. A long awaited post from me, Eco Tools make-up brushes. I bought these from eBay for under £4 (bargain!) a couple of months ago, and have been using them ever since. Recently I have seen many bloggers blogging about these brushes. They have been around since 2008. I have many make-up brushes by different brands, but these are by far the best I have used!
The pack comes with 5 make-up brushes including a blusher brush, lash/comb brush, concealer brush, eyeshadow brush and an angled eyeliner brush, also comes with a cream fabric brushes pouch to store them in. The brushes are full sized. Eco Tools is known for their earth friendly beauty - bamboo handles and they use 100% cruelty free hair.
On the back of the plastic packaging is a guide to what each brush is used for. I really like that it comes with a reusable brush roll to keep your Eco Tools brushes in, great for travel use as I just store all mine in a pot at home.
These are my favourite brushes, the bristles are so soft, they are easy to clean and the price I paid is amazing. Once these get 'tatty' I will for sure be buying more, eBay or rrp price! (As I got these on eBay as apposed to in Boots, with a £10+ difference in price people question whether these are real or not, I assure you they are, just for some reason far cheaper online!)
RRP: £15.99/6 brushes & pouch. Buy at Boots.
Do you have these brushes or use other Eco Tools brushes? What are your thoughts on them? Let me know!

GOSH. Smokey Eyes Palette. 03 Plum.
,
Hello guys, I am so sorry for the lack of posts! I have a review of a gorgeous newly released GOSH eye palette I won from 'beautyliciouslove' a few weeks ago. I have never tried a GOSH product before so I was pretty pleased to have won something from the brand. Available in black, brown and plum but I chose the plum shade palette as I hadn't owned a 'plum palette.'
Consisting of 4 shades in a striped pattern, 1 - a soft lilac colour, almost white. 2 - a silvery lilac colour. 3 - a soft ash purple colour. 4 - a plum purple.
You can either create a subtle smokey eyes look using 2 of the colours or for a dramatic smokey eyes look using all 4 colours and building up - using (1) just under my eyebrows for highlight, (2) on my eyelids, (3) in my crease of my eyelids and (4) in the outter corners, for a new plum smokey eyes look. There is a little plastic sheet that states all that, if you're unsure. Most wearable for winter days due to the shades but amazing for a night out anytime!
Packaged in a square, slim-built palette that feels much lighter than other palettes, a sleek look and expensive feel with a transparent window to view the shades.
This is one of my favourite eye palettes and it is great quality for price! One small thing is they could have included an applicator, as it feels like you have to use your finger to apply it. (Although many people never really use the applicators that come with make-up, haha)
RRP: £7.99/8g. Gosh cosmetics can be purchased in Superdrug stores.
I promise to do a smokey eyes look using this palette and will post a photo on my instagram, follow me - lizzzziem
What do you think of this palette? Let me know!

Update.
,
Just a little update to say I haven't posted in 10 days, not that I didn't want to (I still have loads of blog posts to put up) I haven't had any internet, but today I have it back so expect many blog posts to come! When I first started blogging, I blogged almost every day, as you do when you're a 'newbie' but now I don't, (I have a job now too) I want to blog when I really want to and can and not just for it to be a chore. Hope everyone still enjoys my blog, few changed to it soon also. (and I gotta catch up on all my fave blogs, posts!!!!)

NOTD. Diagonal Glitter Gradient Nails.
,
Hey guys, how is everyone's week so far? I have recently bought lots of nail polishes and abandoned my old ones, so on a sunny day I grabbed a pink and a glitter nail polish and started painting my nails, this is what happened...
Firstly I painted them in a bright pink shade, Nails Inc - OMP! And it only needed 1 coat as it was quite opaque (review of this polish soon!) then decided to create a bit of art by using glitter nail polish over the top, Models Own/Hed Kandi - Ibiza Mix (review here) on top in a gradient kind of way, but diagonally. I think it looks so nice and even got complimented at work! It definitely makes plain pink nails look better. It was so quick and easy that next time I paint my nails I am going to add glitter on top in this way!
What do you think of my nails, will you be trying it out for yourself?

(((I now do 'grouped' photos as you can see and have a poll on the side of my blog whether people prefer it or not and many say they like it but honestly I don't anymore, so I am wondering if people would want me to post my photos on their own like on most peoples blogs without being grouped together, yes or no?! I would be very grateful if you could answer this either on the poll, commenting below or tweeting me on twitter; @lizzzziem. Thanks! Also do you think the text on my blog should be bigger or not?)))

Ombre Lips.
,
Ombre hair, ombre nails, now ombre lips!! Having seen Karla from MUA post pics of her fabulous 'ombre lips' here, I reallyyyy wanted to try it out myself! I am no way a make-up artist and have really thin lips (next time I have to pout, Karla says!) so I failed many times! I honestly don't like these much but I wanted to show you all how it went.
The first top ombre lips I used a pink lipstick on my top lip line then in the middle tried to use a orange lipstick if you can notice, haha. The bottom lip I used gold lipstick in the middle and a purple lipstick to outline on my bottom lip.
The second top ombre lips I used pink/orange lipstick on the top and bottom lips and then used a darker pink lipstick to outline on the bottom lip.
The bottom left ombre lips I just used a purple lipstick on my top lip and a pink lipstick on my bottom lip. This could have worked better if the colours were stronger!
The bottom right ombre lips was a crazy 'lets-use-loads-of-colours' look, haha. I used blue and green eyeshadow (yes eyeshadow! works well on lips if you don't have that shade in a lipstick!) in the centre then purple and pink to outline. Do you like this one or is it a no-no?!
I promise to do more 'ombre lips' looks as I really love the idea, and to keep getting better and better at it, so keep an eye out for future posts on these!
What do you think of my ombre lips? Do you like this look and will you be trying it out for yourself? Let me know and if you do link me up below, I'd love to see all yours!
