Doll 10 Beauty- New makeup Products

 

Hi Beauties! 

Hope you guys are well, today's blog post is about my first impressions on some products i recieved from Doll 10 Beauty. 

So to begin with let's start off with a little bit about the brand, Doll 10 is a chic cosmetic line focusing on hi-tech, anti-aging ingredients that claim to keep you trendy & timeless at any age! ;) 

"Featuring innovative, anti-ageing ingredients, this supercharged beauty range helps erase the past, perfect the present and protect the future. Discover timeless beauty with Doll10". 

Impressed already?! Wait till you see more close up pics but before we get on to that i just wanted to add that this brand to me seems very luxurious from the packaging to the products themselves, it is definetly of great quality and is also clear that alot of attention has been paid to detail. 

First up is this gorgeous blush and contour palette. Contains two blushes, a light and a dark contour shade, one bronzer and a highlighter.

Contouring and highlighting has never been in so much demand and has currrently taken over the make up world, so naturally every brand wants to release thier version of a good contour kit. I do believe this is a very good contour kit the powders are very pigmented, buttery and smooth which is what you want in your contour kit, to be able to blend seamlessly and to enhance your natural features. 

Three stunning gel lip crayons in Pinky swear, Sheer Bliss and Wild Card. 

I was intriqued by these crayons in particular as they are a combination of a lipgloss with the nourishment of a lip balm to create the perfect colour and care for you lips! Amazing! 

I have so far only tried pinky swear and it felt very confortable and not sticky at all. Twist to swivel up, no need to sharpen them! 

I absolutely love the concept behind this 360 Double ended mascara, it comes with an hourglass-shaped brush for lengthening, lifting, defining, and curling upper lashes, plus a micro-detailing brush for precision coverage of the lower lashes. 

Hydra Gel foundation and Conceal-It, an oil-free, full coverage concealer, comes in quite a large size compact and i thought it was a cream foundation at first which i think you could use it as if you wanted. Also comes with a sponge and there is a flap you can close to place the sponge on top which is quite convinient. 

Doll 10 Aqua Gel Liner, a gel liner in a pencil format- perfect for your waterline and tightlining.

Four beautiful wearable shades, glides on smoothly, very pigmented in just one swipe and water-resistent. 

Doll 10 three piece Lip and Cheek set. 

Contains a lipstick - 'First Kiss' (Dusty Rose) 

Lipgloss- 'Smitten' (soft pink shimmer) 

Blusher- 'Kiss on the cheek' (dusty rose) 

I love everything about this set, it's so pretty!! From the packaging to the colour selection and how all three complement one another really well. 

This would also make a brilliant gift! 

Overall i am so impressed with all the products from Doll 10 i am new to the brand and have to say the products and quality is of incredibly high standard, i love the packaging and all the details. 

Products can be purchased direct from

Untill next time, take care and thank you for reading! Xx

Tarte's Tarteist eyeliner

Recently i posted on instagram about a new eyeliner i just recieved, which comes with a very fine and precise dual ended eyeliner brush. Now i am a total sucker for intense black eyeliners and just cannot stand glossy liners or anything shiny, when it comes to eyeliners they have to be matte. 

Not to mention i am a hugeee Tarte cosmetics fan thier products are just always amazing that come with very pretty packaging. So after hearing such great reviews and tutorials from makeup gurus including Huda Beauty i knew i just had to try this out for myself. 

So the product itself is a revolutionary, first ever squeezable cream liner with a unique blending tip inspired by the ease of an artist’s palette.

This product also claims to have a no-tug, dreamy application that’s as simple as squeeze, line and define. The unique formula features fewer waxes, cushioned pigments and a special development process unlike other traditional liners, allowing for the creamiest texture and smoothest application ever. Sounds impressive huh?! 

My current favourite liner is Sigma's gel liner in Wickid but i am so eager to give this a try after hearing nothing but praises, so do follow me on instagram @simmysbeauty where i will post makeup looks using the liner and let you know my thoughts! ;) 

Urban decay Vice 4 palette

A little late with this post but to be fair urban decay have really killed it this year with releasing three amazing limited edition eyeshadow palettes for the Holidays 2015 and with me being the makeup addict that i am just needed to add these palettes to my ever-growing collection! You can check previous posts on the spectrum and gwen steffani palettes.

I absoulutely loved the vice 3 from last year and it is still one of my top favourites when it comes to my eyeshadow palettes, so i was super excited about this years vice palette.

The first thing that really stood out to me was the packaging, i love it! It has a very kool design on it which i believe was inspired by an oil slick so that is the theme behind this palette. 

The palette similar to last years comes in the same style, sturdy hard case palette which comes with a handy zipper pouch to put the palette in, a dual end brush and a huge mirror making this great for travelling. 

The palette contains alot of deep shades, warm shades aswell as jewel tones and has four matte shades which is great for crease and blending out edges. 

Personally i love the vice palettes as they always contain a mixture of neutrals, mattes, colour and jewel tones which makes it so versatile and you are able to create a number of different looks whether its a simple day look to adding pops of colour or even a smokey eye. The vice palettes are usually always released for the holiday period and are limited edition so go grab one while you still can! :) 

RXY cosmetics glitters and contour kit

Hey guys! So if you follow me on instagram you would of seen me post about some goodies i recieved from a new makeup line RXY cosmetics. 

The founder of this makeup line is a very talented and amazing makeup-artist who is on instagram as @makeupbyglamureyesz her work is absoulutely amazing and i have been following her for such a long time since i started instagram and she continues to inspire me.

Below are pictures of a few products from her line that include a contour kit, 6 beautiful loose glitters and a glitter adhesive that comes in a very convenient lipgloss type of tube and wand.

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette

So this palette does not even need a introduction now does it?! 

The most anticipated palette of the year from urban decay since news broke that they have collaborated with Gwen steffani to bring out a beautiful eyeshadow palette. 

If you dont know who Gwen Steffani is you must be living under a rock, she was the lead singer in a band called 'No Doubt' who were very popular back in the 90's, she then went on to become a successful solo singer. 

Gwen's makeup style is very much neutral eyes with a classic winged liner but she always has that statement Red lip that looks amazing! 

This palette tends to have alot of neutral tones which makes it an ideal everyday palette consisting of five matte shades which is great for your crease/transition, and also contains your pops of colour which again is nice when you want to switch up your looks every now and then to a smokey eye. 

Now let's talk about the packaging, i absoulutely love the packaging from the design on the box, to the colour selection of white, gold and black - very chic and sophisticated. The palette itself is very sturdy and great quality, travel-friendly and has a nice big mirror which is a bonus as i do like my palettes to have mirrors, it just makes life easier! 

This palette gets released here in the UK nationwide on the 3rd of December which is only a couple of days away. This is Limited Edition so if you want to get your hands on it you will have to act fast as i think this will definetly sell out in no time! 

Retails at £40.00

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick sets - Holiday 2015

I love this time of year when you see all the amazing brands bring out thier limited edition holiday sets. Now if you have been following me on instagram (@simmysbeauty) you will know my love for matte liquid lipsticks and how it is the only lipstick i wear these days due to it being long-lasting, easy to apply, and very pigmented. 

I have tried many liquid lipsticks from different brands and although i have my top favourites, stila definetly has my heart when it comes to liquid lipsticks as thier formula is one of the best! It never feels dry, is soo opaque with just one swipe so you dont need to layer on product. This is also one of the best long- lasting liquid lipsticks thier is on the market, as it wears well for a good 7-8 hours depending on if you are a messy eater or not. 

So when i saw that stila is coming out with two Liquid lipstick sets i was so excited and knew this would be on my list! 

The first is called 'The Eternal Love' which is a set of three liquid lipsticks, two are new Baci and Rico and Beso is from the permanent line. 

The secound set is 'Eternally Yours' which is a set of six liquid lipsticks, two are brand new shades: caramello and chianti, and four are from the permanent line patina (best-seller) Aria, como and Fiery.

I was quite suprised to see patina in the set as it is thier best-seller and not to mention so hard to get hold of as it is always out of stock. 

Lastly before we get on to more pictures and swatches i just wanted to add that i think these would make great christmas presents for someone who has never tried stila's liquid lipsticks before as you are getting permanent and new shades. whatsmore these sets work out considrebly cheaper than if you was to buy the full size lipsticks on thier own and let's face it who even goes through a full size lipstick anyway?! ...and you get the chance to try out alot of different shades... Bonus! 

See swatches below, taken on bare skin in natural lighting. Very  pigmented!
