Collection 2000 Teal & Gold Eyeliners

Tuesdays Gold & Teal eye makeup... 

Before applying anything to my eyes I used Urban Deday Primer Potion

I then used a matte beige from my 120 palette all over the eyelid

I lined my top lashline with Maybellines Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black (such a good eyeliner!)

then ontop of the black eyeliner I used the gel liner from the Collection 2000 range which I reviewed in an earlier post...

On my lower lash line, I used this fab eye pencil in Teal by Collection 2000 & lined my water line with VIVO black khol pencil which is my fave black khol pencil :)

I then primed my lashes with Elizabeth Arden Lash Optimzer - this is also such an AMAZING product!!
then ontop of the lash optimizer, I used L'Oreal Perfect Clean Definition Telescope Mascara

I love my eyebrows looking thick, defined and gorgeous so I always use Rimmels Eyebrow Pencil, and in the picture I have used shade 'Hazel' ... I then use my concealer to go around and define the eyebrow on top, i feel this gives a nice clean and super defined eye brow :)

on the lips I used Collection 2000 new cream puff in Powder Puff

VIVO Radiant Boost Highlighter

Today I am doing a quick review of the VIVO Radiant Boost Highlighter... 

 I love the packaging, the product is easy to apply with the brush, however I would recommend dabbing a few dots under the eye, then tapping/smoothing it out with your finger...

the consistency is quite creamy, and has a nice 'pinkish' shade which is great for concealing dark circles as well as giving a nice brightening effect.

I think its a pretty good buy if your on a budget, if I had to give it a mark out of 10, I'd probably give it an 8.

Hope this was helpful if you have been indecisive on whether to get it or not. 

Muuaahhh JennJenn <3

VIVO COSMETICS COMPETITION...I WON!!

HEY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!

sheesh the last couple of days, week actually, has been INTENSE!!! After being picked as a finalist for the TOWIB & VIVO competitiion (which I was totally amazed by!) I have been working hard to get those votes, people have been so amazing and so positive, that I ended up with the winning votes of 370 people!!! UH-MAZING!!!!

the task in case some of you have no idea what I am talking about, was to recreate Karla Powells 'Eyes of Gold' using VIVO products which she demonstrated at the TOWIB event back in October. I got home that night, did my look, never in a million years thinking I would be picked, and submitted what would be my winning entry, which you can see below 

The VIVO products are fantastic for anyone looking for great makeup at a budget! honestly, just because they are affordable, does not mean that VIVO have lacked in product pay off! the eyeshadows are gorgeous to work with, and their Khol pencil is even better than my much loved Rimmel Khol Pencil Liner.

VIVO is currently exclusive to TESCO, I still have not seen them in any of my local ones (so sad boohhooo) but if you come across VIVO in your local tesco, PLEASE PLEASE stop and take notice!!! Their baked bronzer/highlighter shown in the pic, is UH-MAZING! and their matte brown eye shadow which I used in the crease and outer 'V' of my look, was also used to fill in my brows!

Below is what VIVO are sending me in the post as part of my prize! was not expecting the products so that is an added bonus of which I am over the moon!!! (que emociooonnnnn!!!!) I cannot wait to receive them and give the rest of the products a go, will hopefully do a few posts with reviews, and will also do a few reviews based on what I purchase with the gift card at Superdrugs.
