Figs & Rouge Coco Rose Lip Balm

by | 6 Nov 2013 | Make-Up, Reviews |

We adore the Figs & Rouge packaging… so lovely and giftable. The Coco Rose Lip Balm is a pale pink with plenty of shimmer, so if you like tinted balms you may want to give this a try. Application-wise it’s a bit gloopy for applying with fingers, it smooths on ok with a brush and it’s just very messy straight from the tube! It’s a little slimy and slightly sticky – the overall feel was not like a balm, so it didn’t feel very nourishing. Overall it’s the packaging and colour we liked best – if you’re looking for a gloss this is good, but if you’re wanting a balm we wouldn’t choose this. At £4.95 (from FeelUnique) it’s not a bad price for an everyday gloss. Pin...

Too Faced New Romantic Peacock Palette

by | 20 Mar 2008 | Make-Up |

When we opened the parcel containing the Too Faced palettes we were so excited! The packaging of all their products is just gorgeous!! The New Romantic Peacock Palette is a fabulous pink with a black peacock silhouette design… inside you’ll find lovely pinks and minky browns. There are three eyeshadows: a shimmery mocha, a raspberry pink and a shimmery mink. I liked them all, but the most wearable, for day and night, is the mink. The raspberry pink is a bit daring on the eyes – be careful not to look like you’ve gone ten rounds with Ricky Hatton! As a blush it’s really good though!! The shadows are easy to apply and blend, they feel very light and silky on the skin. Alongside the three eyeshadows are three lip glosses – I wear them all. There’s a raspberry pink, a neutral beige shimmer and a pale shimmer gloss. The raspberry pink is very versatile – you can wear it sheer or build it up for a wow-factor. The other two are lovely for daily wear. And finally there’s a bronzey blush – if you’re very pale watch out, it can look a bit dirty if you put too much one, so build it up gradually. Overall I was very, very pleased with this – it has become my main daily make-up and I will use all the shades (though maybe not much of the raspberry shadow), which is rare for me with a palette as I often find I don’t use half the shades. The packaging makes this ideal for a gift… I’m sure most girls will be...
