I was contacted recently by the lovely Joy from
Born Pretty Store, who asked me if I would like to try out some products from their website. I was a bit sceptical at first as I wasn't sure how good the quality of the products would be, however upon receiving the items I was really impressed!
Born Pretty Store, if you haven't already heard of them, are an online retailer and after browsing their site they stock many different products, not just limited to makeup but makeup tools, jewellery and accessories. The first thing I noticed was the price of everything, it is so affordable and the perfect place to treat yourself but not break the bank.They also offer free worldwide shipping! However do expect to wait 2-4 weeks to receive your products as they are being shipped from Hong Kong.
The first products I chose were two liquid lipsticks by Me now Generation. as I am a bit obsessed with these at the moment, I just can't get enough of the the matte finish. My favourite out of the two is the shade 18, in a lilac grey/beige and I have been after a colour like this for ages and although I don't own Limecrimes 'Cashmere', it looks to me like a great dupe at a fraction of the price, only £1.37- such a bargain!! The formula smells really fruity, it glides on smoothly and you only need a thin layer to create a very pigmented beautiful colour. Also when they say these are long-lasting, believe me they are ridiculous even to to the point where they are quite difficult to remove, but with a oil based makeup remover they do come off.

The other product I picked was the Colour Diamond Shimmer Eyeshadow in shade 1 which is a gorgeous white gold colour. While this isn't a product I would wear everyday it is perfect to add that extra sparkle to your eyes for nights out. The glitter is a gel like formula which I love as it means it goes onto the eyes super easily, without any fall out. I wore it on a night out in leeds recently and below was the look I achieved (the glitter is a lot more shimmery and pigmented in real life). All my friends wanted to borrow it and I can see myself using this a lot in the future.
