Obsession Makeup London - Build Your Own Palette

 
I was browsing the make up in Boots as there currently is a 3 for 2 offer on most make up. 
I've seen the Obsession Makeup London stand before but not really paid it too much attention, but with a particular eye look in mind (dark brown and copper), I noticed that they had some really interesting metallic shades so I decided to do a bit of swatching.
 
 


Then I noticed the price - most of the pans were just £2 each - which would mean that you could get three pans for just £4 with the current offer.
 
 
Obsession Makeup London is part of the Tam Beauty group (Makeup Revolution, I Heart Makeup, Freedom etc) and you can tell this as soon as you see the packaging and the whole vibe of the make up on offer. But it threw me a bit as I always associate the Tam Beauty Brands with Superdrug rather than Boots.
 
 
So, on to the swatching!
 
There's a great colour choice and my god! These eye shadows are so pigmented and buttery - a real treat to use.
 
Also available in this pan format are highlighters, brow duos, blush, lipstick, strobe cremes and contours - so you could very easily fill a palette and have all you need (bar the foundation and mascara) in one palette.
 
 
There are three types of empty palettes to choose from with various casing colour choices (metallic or matte coloured). The six pan palette costs just £4.00; the 8 pan palette costs £6.00 and the largest 12 pan palette is £8.00.
 
I was so impressed with the range that I bought the largest palette.
 
 
I picked 8 eye shadows in all the warm metallic and matte shades I love. I did leave four pans empty in the palette as I wanted to go and see what other options there were online as Boots only had a stand (rather than a whole display).
 
You can currently buy Obsession Makeup London online and in store at Boots as part of their 3 for 2 offer.
The entire range is also available online at Tam Beauty - but strangely, some of the prices differ between Boots and Tam Beauty.
 
Wish List to finish off my palette!
 
Blush in 'Fancy'
 
Contour Powder in 'Medium'
 
Lipstick in 'Apricot'
 
 

Brow Duo in 'Dark Brown'

Morning Skincare Routine - May

Image
  For the past few weeks I haven't been washing my face in the morning! I'm a great fan of the double-cleanse method, but then I read somewhere about not needing to double-cleanse in the morning if you double-cleanse at night. It was advised that you start your morning routine with the toner step, skipping out oil cleansers and foaming washes (or whatever double-cleansing products you use) altogether. Now it's not like I'd jump off a cliff if the internet told me to, but this made a bit of sense to me - why add more potentially drying/stripping/exfoliating products when there was no make-up to remove?   And this has worked out brilliantly well for me personally. I'd go so far as to say that I could currently change my skin status from combination/oily to NORMAL! I've noticed that by just toning in the morning, the oiliness on my face has calmed right down. And better still, I haven't had to blot in the day and very rarely use any type of powd

Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation ~ First Impressions

Image
  Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation £12.99 at Superdrug BUY HERE   I'd never heard of Flower Beauty before, let alone that it was a cruelty-free makeup range by Drew Barrymore. And I'll be honest, I bought it because I liked the look and sound of it! It took a while to get my hands on some too. Superdrug announced that they would be stocking the brand, although it must be available only in the bigger stores as it's not yet reached Norwich and I had to buy this online - completely without testing it first or even being sure about a colour match.   The shade I opted for, 'Nude', was unavailable for ages online but as soon as I got the notification email that it was back in stock, I ordered right away.   I'm not generally keen on buying foundations online without having first at least gotten a colour match - usually, this spells disaster and a product that I end up discarding quite quickly. But I struck gold with choosing the 'Nude&

Thyme Out Review

Image
    Thyme Out - £18.00 for 200ml plus Mini Thyme-To-Go Refillable Spray BUY HERE   I first saw mention of this interesting tincture (love that word!) a couple of months ago on the Victoria Health online Newsletter. Initially, I was thinking about it in terms of a skincare product - a 100% organic natural repairing lotion. But so far, it's been used for so many more purposes. In fact, I think I can safely say that this has been a summer essential for all the family, and hasn't been confined to the skincare shelf at all.   What is it?   Thyme Out is a water-based tincture where the Thyme has been steeped for weeks to draw out all of it's healing properties. The ingredients are all natural and very simple - just organic thyme, purified water, organic grain alcohol, and organic aloe vera.   What does it do? Whilst the ingredients are simple, the list of ailments that Thyme Out can help with certainly is not!   Skin Soothing and Healing   Helps
