Priceline (beauty) Haul

 Hello there my friends, it's Sally here!

A few weeks ago in Priceline (a pharmacy) there was a big sale and all make up was 40% off! Yay! So I made a trip there and bought a few things tested them out and thought I'd share them with you and what my opinions are on the products.

1. Real Techniques Powder Brush

Wow this brush is good. I had a really dodge cheap one before this because I didn't think having a good brush would make a difference. Eventually that brush began to fall apart and I kept having to pick the little hairs off my face.I though enough was enough and got a new brush. Definitely do not regret this purchase and I look forward to getting more brushes from Real Techniques.

2. Essie Nail Varnish

I've really been liking Essie Nail polish more lately. I like how thin the consistency is so it dries faster and lasts longer. These two colours looked really pretty so I got them haha! Typical girly answer. They are in the shades Marshmellow and Limo-scene.





3. Bourjois 1 Seconde Gel Enamel

This stuff is good. It's also quite cheap which made me question how good it would be. I bought this because I had a school formal and my dress was blue so I wanted matching nails. The brush is quite wide so I could paint my nails very quickly. Apparently that's why it's called 1 second, because of the time it takes to paint each nail. This is in the shade, Bleu Water.


4. Rimmel Apocalips

This is in the shade Stellar. I really like this stuff. The pigmentation is so good and it's not sticky like a lip gloss which makes me happy. It appears quite glossy when you apply it but eventually tones down when it dries, not to a matte but not as shiny. The smell and taste is pleasant and hardly noticeable too. I would highly recommend this product, one of Rimmels best lip products!


5. Maybelline Illegal Length

I got this in the waterproof formula. The wand is much smaller than the cover girl wands which I really like. I'm not too sure of this mascara yet though, sure it adds a tiny bit of length but it lacks volume and the product seems to dry so I keep having to dip my brush in for more. Not too impressed but it's good for more natural looking lashes.



6. Rimmel Match Perfection

Okay, I think I'm definitely a Rimmel girl. This foundation is perfection. I have combination skin and this stuff is so good! It's got I'd say a medium coverage which can be build able. It doesn't smell too scented. I was a little worried about how runny it was but it works and makes my skin look good so I'm happy!



7. Maybelline Color Tattoo

Wow it was weird to write color because I spell it as colour. Theses to shades are called, Bad to the Bronze and Inked in Pink. These are very similar to the Mac Paint Pots in fact these actually work better for me personally because the Mac Paint Pots creased on me a bit. I know some people are the opposite so I guess you just have to experiment but I'm excited to get these in more shades!

8. Rimmel Kate Moss 107

These Kate Moss lipsticks are up there! These shade is my favourite out of all the ones I own! I think it's perfect for winter or autumn! The Kate Moss lipsticks last a long time and have really good pigmentation! I also like the packaging. I hope Rimmel keeps releasing more of these!




9. Lanterns!

These are actually from Typo. I've wanted some for ages but didn't know where to put them but I finally had an idea. They make my room feel so cosy and I really want more. They were easy to put together and I just love them so much! How cute do they look?





So that's all for now. I hope you're all well! It's officially summer here now so it's getting rather warm! Until next time, love! xxx

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

So um, again, I'm really really sorry for the delayed posts- both Sally and I are knee deep in work and school things, plus personal life issues :/

But on a brighter note, I have a new review for you guys! (Drum roll please....) The Too Faced Natural Eye Palette! At university, everyone here has really natural makeup, if any, and as a makeup crazed person, of course I'd be pulling off all sorts makeup that I can get away with whilst looking as natural as possible.
With some light nudes, taupes, and light pinks with a sheen, you can do a super natural eye makeup, but with the dark browns and shimmery bronze/golds, you can easily amp this up into a night out look.


As you all know, I'm off at college, and this palette has just been my life saver. It's one of the only eyeshadows that I bought with me, and it has everything I can possibly need. It comes with 9 natural shades of eyeshadow, but it includes some shimmery and even a BAM sparkly one. Like what. That's just me in a palette.

Left to Right: Heaven,  Velvet Revolver, Sexpresso, Silk Teddy, Push- Up, Erotica, Nude Beach, Honey Pot, Cocoa Puff

As you can see from the photo above, there are three rows: "Day", "Night" and "Fashion", and this palette has a secret compartment which holds three cards that teaches you the three looks, if you're a beginner and don't know where to start. The cards slips in in the flappy part of the palette, so you can even carry those cheat sheets with you!


I've been absolutely loving this palette, as there are a ton of college events and nights out, so I'd be amping up my eye makeup, but also eyeshadows appropriate for class. 
Leave me a message as to what you think about it, or tweet me at @MissJulianaYu!

Love, from Juju xoxo
