OPV Lashes- New 'Gorgeous' Eyeshadow palette



Hi dolls! 

So i know i have not blogged in ages, it's just been a busy kinda month and i cannot believe how quickly it has passed by, as we are now nearly towards the end of the month!! 

So today i decided to review the beautiful new eyeshadow palette from OPV Lashes. This brand does not fail to suprise me with their incredible products that started from brushes to lashes, liquid lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes and many many more! 

So this particular palette is called 'Gorgeous' and quite rightly so as this palette is just soo pretty and right up my street! I love warm tone shadows in general and always find myself drawn to warmer tones so this palette is just perfect! It also includes a few pops of colour which is great to use on lower lashlines or inner corner for a subtle way to add colour in to your look. 
Furthermore this palette does Remind me alot of the ever so popular Morphe 350 palette that is always out of stock. The only thing the morphe palette does not have and this palette does is a matte black. I personally think every palette should come with a good matte black as you always need it to add depth or to deepen outer corners, lashlines etc so i am glad to find a matte black in this palette. 


This palette is extremely pigmented as you can see from the swatches, you only need a little bit of product so be sure to be light handed as the colour pay off is insane which is great as i hate having to keep building up colour. 

I have used the palette in a few makeup looks so be sure to check out my instagram page @simmysbeauty for makeup looks, mini tutorials and product details. 

This palette is available online: www.opvhair.com retails for around £19.99/ $28 and they ship worldwide.

Hi Beauties! 

So i was sent a gorgeous luxury brush from a new UK based company called AYVA Brushes, that i decided to dedicate a whole post on this particular brush! Yes it is ABSOULUTELY Stunning!!! 

So AYVA have just launched May 2016 and their mission is to create a brand that gives customers a wide range of cutting-edge Makeup Brushes and Accessories that not only delivers exceptional results but is also stunning in design. 

So far they have only launched one brush (A06) as instead of launching a complete line they made the conscious choice to create quality instead of quantity. 

Furthermore they believe great makeup should be achievable to everyone, and it is for that very reason, they created a brush that is simple to use, ensures makeup application is better than ever, and is not only for the professional Makeup Artists, but all Makeup Lovers!! 

So the A06 brush is a densely packed brush with over 100,000 animal free ultra-fine bristles, comes with a luxuriously comfortable handle. This amazing brush is made to ensure  flawless application, with an immaculate airbrushed finish. Ideal for foundation or concealer.
