Flies like lipsticks too!

This is a really quick post, I decided to surprise my mom and pick her up from work today as she always has to get the bus. As I was waiting I popped into Superdrug and bought some of the MUA lipsticks. Just got home and took the plastic off this one, opened it and there was an actual dead fly on it. I know it was probably just unlucky that the fly got into the manufacturers and obviously landed on my lipstick, but there's no way I'm going to use it. This fly could have come from anywhere and have any sort of disease!

I feel sorry for him, dying in a lipstick tube lol. I am more upset that this was my favourite shade of the lot too!

Review: Accessorize cosmetics

During a casual browse in Superdrug after university today, my friend and I came across a new cosmetics stand filled with cosmetics by Accessorize.

I was very excited when I saw the stand as I have an Accessorize eyeshadow palette from last Christmas which I love, so I expected that their cosmetics would be good.

First off, their packaging is very pretty and the prices are very reasonable. Their stand is filled with pretty lipsticks, baked eyeshadows and blushers and lovely face powders.

I also tested out their liquid highlighter which had great reflective iridescent pigments in, which was lovely and was only £7.

They also have mini eyeshadow palettes which come with a small tube of eye primer for £6.

I was after a peach blusher so I got excited when I saw this one.

           In shade '3-Pretty Pink,' it is called a 'merged blusher.'

It is a very light peach coloured blush with fine veins of lilac running through. It looks sheer on the hand but with a pretty peach colour visible, and would be lovely as a highlighter or blush- especially with a tan. It will look lovely in the summer.

The blush only costs £5.50 which I think was very reasonable, as it reminds me of an msf from M.A.C.

I've tried out baked products from Avon before and I have found them very hard and don't have much colour pay off but this certainly isn't the case here. You only have to touch it lightly to pick up product and it leaves a lovely shimmer that is picked up by natural light.

I'm really impressed with this range and the packaging and price sells it even more. I can't wait to try out more things in this range, it really is lovely.

The range is available at Superdrug and you can receive 10% off with a student NUS card.
