BeautyUk Cosmetics Review +swatches +example look
09:42Hello BeYOUties! Long time no see! I've been super busy these past weeks what with exams and school coursework, but I'm officially back for Summer and you should begin getting excited as there will be multiple surprises up soon including our first year anniversary together. I'm back for good! *This post has involved products being sent to me for the purpose of an honest review*
Today I am delighted to share with you the goodies I was sent from Beauty UK's latest collections:
Beauty UK have recently launched several "posh" palettes, consisting of ten gorgeously pigmented eyeshadows with variations of shimmer and matte finishes.Beautifully presented within a high quality, glossy white palette with an integrated mirror is extremely useful as it means the palette shades are rather generous in size. At just £5.99 the posh palettes offer great value, competing against the naked palettes and the younger market in general. With similar standards to the premium brands, the shadows are long-lasting with a great coverage and have remained perfect throughout a hot summers day when tested out a few days ago. After about 8-9 hours you would be advised to re-apply but I would say that that is fair for most eyeshadows especially from cheaper brands such as this one.
The Masquerade (2) posh palette is great to create a sophisticated smokey eye with rich dark tones in shimmer and matte for a day or night look. The colours are buildable to create a long-lasting effect.(Swatches of every shade have been included for you on the right hand side of the picture to prove how pigmented the tones are). The pictures above show the look I created with four of the eyeshadows. I created this look by starting with the lightest shimmery shade for the base, then transitioned to a darker tone (which is next to it in the palette shown by the pink stars) in the crease. Then I moved on, to the sparkly berry shade to create a winged shadow look. Next, I went back over the berry tone with the lightest shimmery shade and brought the dark black over the outline of the winged shape and used an angled brush to create a smokey eyeliner with it too.Finally I brought the same colour used in my crease and ran it across by bottom eyelid. Beauty UK’s posh palettes are worth a try and at such a good price you cannot go wrong. I gave this palette 4 stars, I have gladly welcomed this palette to my makeup draw.
I was also lucky enough to receive their brow definition kit. Beauty UK's "High Brow Kit"contains a colourless eyebrow wax, 3 shades of waxy powder to suit a range of complexions, a double-ended applicator and mini tweezers. The packaging of the kit is reasonable, it's nothing too special, however it does have a useful 3 step tutorial on the back which is great for beginners. Unfortunately the kit doesn't have various shades to choose from, instead it's a universal kit which is the only downside. The 3 shades above (with the stars on them) were the ones I used to enhance my bold eyebrows. I gave this kit 3 stars as I wasn't too keen on the waxy layer as it clogged up my brush, and the product all came out in one area of my eyebrow without blending well.I obviously prefer eyeshadowy powders for my eyebrows but it still gave a good look. I would be willing to try it out again. 
Last but not least I was sent three stunning lippies. I received one matte lipstick, one glacier gloss and a posh pout chubby stick. The makeup look I was wearing involved the glacier gloss which wasn't too sticky, had a beautiful even consistency and could build-up to a highly pigmented fluorescent fushcia if wanted to- the swatch is in the far right picture and the gloss is in the centre. The shine was incredible and it will obviously last for ages with the long, typical packaging.The great value of this product proves that it should be a handbag must. Next was the matte lipstick, I've seen these all over YouTube and was so excited that I finally got my hands one one! The shade I was sent was called "snob" and it was a matte dusky pink/purple which was very pretty and the first one swatched in the picture above. This lipstick lasted for ages and I love the packaging as at one end of it, it gives a circle of the shade colour which I particularly like for ease of storage so you don't have to be opening every lid to check the shades. Finally, the chubby stick in " would I lilac to you" offered a gorgeous sheen to the luminous pigmented purple shade it gave. A very bright daring shade, perfect for summer days out or festivals and the price makes it even more appealing. The packaging of this is very similar to most chubby sticks with the clear lids and coloured with the shade of the product. The swatch of this is the third one in the picture above. I gave all these lip products a deserving 5 stars, I can't wait to wear them all out properly.

ReplyDeleteWow this makeup looks great, thanks for swatching the eyeshadows. They look really pigmented! Did you experience any creasing with the eyeshadow?

Thank you lovely, you're very welcome xx they certainly are pigmented although you can't quite see the lighter shimmery shades been searched due to the sun in the picture! Xx I didn't experience any creasing which I was impressed about however I did notice that after a hot summers day the shadows would become scarce around the crease but was only noticeable at the end of the day so after 8-9 hours which most eyeshadows would need topping after that length anyway xx hope that helps, if you're interested in the palette, check out their website they have so many beautiful palettes to choose from and are such high quality for the price xx have a happy day x
