Review | Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencils

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick Lip Pencils Keep It Classy Fab Orange Review Swatch Belle-amie Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencils | £4.99 each

I love swapping up my lip products on a daily basis and it's definitely the makeup I experiment with the most. This means I'm always on the look out for affordable yet good quality lipsticks to add to my ever expanding collection. A few months ago I picked up a couple of the Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencils after hearing some amazing things about them! I settled on the 2 shades Keep It Classy and Fab Orange as these are two colours I wear on a regular basis and I thought I'd get the most wear out of. However there was a lovely selection of colours, from nudes to reds, so there's definitely something for everyone in this line!

The Maybelline Color Drama lipsticks come in a little pencil form, just like a larger version of a lip liner. Their design makes these lipsticks super easy to apply as you can reach right into the inner corners of your lips and neatly pencil in the rest of your lips. Even though these are lip pencils, they still have a creamy soft formula just like a lipstick so they apply beautifully and never drag across your lips.

So the two shades I picked up were Keep It Classy and Fab Orange. Keep It Classy is a glamorous deep pink toned berry shade that looks stunning on the lips. This is one of those lip colours that can easily be worn during the day with a simple cat eye or as an evening lip paired with a smoky eye. The colour can also be blended out so if you want a subtle hint of colour you can apply a small amount allowing it to act like more a lip stain. Fab Orange is a perfect shade for the Summer/ Autumn time as it's a bright orange shade that can be paired with a bronze eye to give it a more "fall time" look. I'm a sucker for orange lipsticks and this is definitely a gorgeous shade and one I will get plenty of wear out of!

The finish of these lip pencils is a mixture between matte and a satin, but definitely sways more to being a matte. This can mean that once dried on the lips the product can cling to drier patches easily, so just be prepared and prep your lips with a good lip balm before! However with their matte finish comes their amazing staying power - honestly you can eat a whole meal and these lipsticks won't budge! These are definitely great lipsticks for when you want the colour to last all day long.

I'm totally impressed by the cute little lip pencils and despite their small size, I'm sure these two will last me a long time! I think that Keep It Classy will definitely be one of those shades that I will keep coming back to through the Autumn as it's such a lovely berry shade. I would love to try out some more shades of these so if you've tried any of the others then do let me know in the comments!

Review | Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eye Shadow

Maybelline Color Colour Tattoo 24 Hours Cream Eye Shadow Review On And On Bronze Metallic Pomegranate Swatch Belle-amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Maybelline Color Tattoo 24Hr Cream Eye Shadow | £4.99 each

Hello everyone! So today I'm going to be reviewing yet another product from Maybelline, but this time it's one of which I'm completely obsessed with! These are the infamous Maybelline Color Tattoos and the shades that I have are: "On and on Bronze" and "Metallic Pomegranate". I've been using these cream eye shadows pretty much every single time I've done my makeup over the past few weeks and I have to say, I'm addicted!
If you want to know the ins and outs of why I love these little beauties, then do keep on reading.

So like I said, the two shades that I own are "On and On Bronze" and "Metallic Pomegranate". On and On Bronze is a gorgeous bronze shade with a golden shimmer running through it. This is the shade I use the most as it's a perfect everyday eye shadow that can work with a whole range of other colours. Metallic Pomegranate is a deep bronze toned berry shade which also has golden shimmer in it. This shade is absolutely perfect for this time of year and to me, it looks like Christmas in a pot! I like to use this shade more for night time looks or if I want a darker eye look. Each of these shades are so versatile as they can either be worn as eye shadow bases, as a lid colour or just on their own for a quick and easy eye look!

As you can see from the swatches in the photo above, their pigmentation is amazing and well worth the £4.99 price tag! These cream eye shadows apply beautifully to the eye lid, are smooth, soft and so easy to work with as you can simply use your finger to blend them out. They also have amazing staying power and I completely agree that they are 24 hour wear. They also make any other shadows you put over the top stay put all day, so if you don't use a primer, they're the perfect product to use as an eye shadow base.

The packaging of these little pots is really nice and I love that they made them in glass so they have a good amount of weight to them. This makes them look and feel like a high end product and I've heard they're very similar to the MAC paint pots. They have a simple black screw on lid that's very secure and will help stop them from drying out quickly.

So overall, as you may have already guessed, I'm completely in love with the Maybelline Color Tattoos! I think the two shades that I have are so easy to work with and compliment my eyes and skin tone really well. These are a definite staple in my makeup bag!

What are your thoughts on the Maybelline Color Tattoos?
What other shades would you recommend me to try out?

Review | Maybelline Baby Lips in "Pink Punch"

Maybelline baby Lips Pink Punch Review Close Up Belle-amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well! First of all, I'm so sorry for the lack of posting recently. After starting college and my new job, my blog has seemed to have taken a back seat - I've just been too busy to sit down and write! I have really missed it though, so I'm going to spend the afternoon of my day off catching up on writing some posts so that I can finally get into the swing of blogging again. 

Today's post is going to be a review of the ever so famous Maybelline Baby Lips and in this case it's the shade "Pink Punch". I was so sucked into all the hype around these little lip balms that when I spotted a 3 for 2 deal on all Maybelline products, I thought I may as well give one a go - especially as it worked out it was free! I was so excited to give the Baby Lips a try, but unfortunately I'm think I'm one of the 1% of bloggers who is really unimpressed with this product!

The Maybelline Baby Lips are a range of lip balms each with different properties such as: hydration, colour tint and SPF. "Pink Punch" is a light pink tinted lip balm which has a slight moisturising effect. It's a pretty standard product that is there to give your lips a bit of a pick-me-up for when you need a hint of colour and hydration. However, I find that the colour of "Pink Punch" applies so unevenly that it actually takes a good while to apply properly - not something you'd want if you a quick and easy product! I do like the colour of "Pink Punch" and it does look pretty on the lips, but I don't like the fact it takes a while to make sure it looks even, especially as it's only a lip balm!

I also find the moisturising effect doesn't last for more than an hour, so you would have to keep applying the products if you wanted the feeling of soft lips to last. I guess this isn't too bad, but other normal lip balms I've tried (Blistex for example) actually leave my lips feeling soft and hydrated for a good few hours - and they're cheaper than the Baby Lips! This means that I very rarely reach for my Baby Lips and would much prefer to use a normal lip balm instead (at least they won't leave my lips looking uneven!). The only thing I quite like about "Pink Punch" is the fruity smell. Normally artificial smells like this give me a headache, but I actually quite like the scent of this!

As for the packaging, I like the fun bright colours and I can see why the Baby Lips were such a staple in many people's makeup bags this summer. It does feel a bit cheap but then again, this product is only £2.99 and is probably one of Maybelline's cheapest products they do!

So overall, I'm really unimpressed with the Maybelline Baby Lips. After reading so many rave reviews, I thought that it was going to be the nicest lip balm I've tried, but it's really not. I think if you're just getting into makeup or if you want to wear a lip colour to school, these would be nice to pop in your bag, but for me I'd much prefer to use any other lip product in my collection!

What are your thoughts on the Maybelline Baby Lips?

Mini Haul | Beauty

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Lace £2.99 | Pantene Ice Shine Hairspray £2.99 | Aussie Limited Edition Luscious Long Leave-In Conditioner £4.99
Primark Natural Look Lashes £1 | Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19 | Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara £7.19 | Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara £10
Recently, Sainsbury's had a 3 for 2 offer across all hair care products, so I decided to pick up some new things to try. Firstly I picked up the Aussie Limited Edition Luscious Long Leave-In Conditioner as my hair has been feeling very dry at the moment, particularly at the ends. I absolutely love Aussie products as they always leave my hair silky smooth. This conditioner has eucalyptus and avocado oil in to "pamper your hair beyond the bounds of decency". It smells great, my hair feels soft after use and it leaves my curls very defined. Next I needed a new dry shampoo and I decided to try the Batiste one in Lace. I've heard some nice things about this product and I think the bottle is very pretty. So far I've been loving this! I've used it quite a lot this week and leaves my hair feeling fresh and smelling lovely. The final hair product was the Pantene Ice Shine hairspray. I used to use about a year ago, but I always change up on hairsprays because I usually buy what's on offer. I really like this hairspray. It's made for fine hair, which is what I have, so is strong but doesn't leave your hair crispy. I also find it sprays nicely, like a fine mist.

The next few beauty items are from a couple of shopping trips. I picked up the Primark Natural false lashes as I needed something to practise putting on eyelashes with and I heard in one of Kate's (dollybowbow) videos that these were pretty good! I also picked up my all time favourite concealer, the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection in Light 2. This concealer lasts me ages and gives a full and even coverage every time. If you haven't given into the raving posts/ videos and bought this product, I urge you to now! Next up are my two favourite mascaras, Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express in Black and Soap & Glory's Thick & Fast mascara in Super Jet Black. I can't fault either of these products! They apply so well, give a volumised, full and long lash and also last really well throughout the day.
Love, love, love!

Tag | How Much Is My Face?

Earrings Miss Selfridge | Top New Look
 I've seen this tag post on quite a few blogs and I wanted to see how much my face makeup was worth. I did this on a day where I wasn't planning to make this post, so is genuinely what I would wear if I was going out in the day. Just so you know, my eyebrows aren't as weird as they look in the picture, it's just the dodgy lighting!

What I am wearing:
 Rimmel Fix & Perfect primer in 002 - £6.99 (review HERE)
Max Factor Xperience foundation in Raw Silk 45 - £9.99
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in light 2 - £4.19
Stila Angel Light powder in Shade B - £1
Bloom Pure Mineral blush in Rosie - £2.99
Benefit Sha La Lovely brown eyeshadow for my brows - Gift
Makeup Academy Eye primer - £2.50
Urban Decay Naked palette: Virgin, Sin & Toasted - £36 (review HERE)
2True liquid eyeliner in 1 - £1.99
Maybelline Colossal Volume Express mascara in Glam Black - £7.99
Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara - £2
Makeup Academy lipstick in Shade 8 - £1 (review HERE)
Barry M limited edition lip gloss - £4.49 (review HERE)

Total: £81.13

That's not as bad as some other posts I have seen! Rather pleased with myself. To be honest, I do use a lot of magazine freebies and Poundland products, so I haven't used the RRPs of them! I also haven't included brushes, but if you would like a post about my daily makeup brushes or any reviews then do leave a comment.

Haul | Poundland Makeup

Collection 2000 Skyscraper Length & Definition mascara RRP £4.99 | Revlon Scented Nail Enamel in 355 Mad About Mango RRP £6.49
The first two things I found in Poundland were the Collection 2000 Skyscraper mascara and a Revlon Scented nail polish in 355 'Mad About Mango'. The mascara is nice and makes your lashes very black, but because the consistency is quite wet, I find it clumps my lashes together. I probably wont buy this again but it was nice to try for just £1. However, I really love this nail polish! It's a bright coral/ orange and when it's dry, smells of mangoes! I'm quite surprised to see this still on the Boots website, so I feel like I've grabbed a great bargain!
Stila Angel Light Whitening Powder Foundation Refill in Shade B | Stila Tinted Moisturiser in Light
My next Poundland buys were another Stila powder foundation and the Stila tinted moisturiser. I love the powder foundation and it has become my everyday powder, so I'm planning to stock up on these because I'm sure they'll be out of stock soon! I was also able to find the tinted moisturiser in the shade 'Light', so I thought it would be great for summer! It's a light coverage and because the colour is a little bit too light for my skin tone, it feels like it brightens my skin when I wear it.
Sally Hansen Diamond 12 Hour Lip Treatment lip gloss in Flawless (top) & Engaging (bottom) | Maybelline MNY My Lip Balm in 800 A
My final three Poundland buys were lip products! My mum actually bought me the Sally Hansen lip gloss in 'Engaging' (pink) and when I went back I also found it in this orange colour, which is called 'Flawless'. These are nice lip glosses; not too sticky and the glitter isn't rough on your lips. The colour is also quite sheer so are nice to put on top of lipstick. I also bought this Maybelline MNY lip balm, mainly because the packaging looked cute and it was pink and sparkly! I'm not sure if I like this product though, it has a horrible smell and doesn't moisturise your lips. It leaves some glitter but that's about it.
Simple Soothing Facial Toner | Savlon First Aid Wash | Simple Soothing Facial Scrub | Max Factor Xperience Weightless Foundation in Raw Silk 45
These four products actually are from Sainsbury's, but I thought I would include them in the haul anyway! I had run out of face scrub so was on the hunt for my St Ives Gentle one as I knew it was half price in Superdrug, but when I got there, they were all sold out! So I popped into Sainsbury's and saw the Simple range were on a 2 for £4 deal. As I needed some more toner, I thought I may as well try out their Soothing Facial Scrub too. I like the Simple brand, and I've never had any skin issues with using it so I'm hoping this scrub will be nice! I also picked up a Savlon First Aid Wash (which may I add, has gone up by 44p since I started buying it!). You can read about these products in My Skin Care Routine HERE. Finally, my Max Factor foundation was half price in Sainsbury's, so only £4.99! I couldn't resist the bargain so picked up a couple as this is my favourite foundation ever.

Hope you enjoyed the haul!

Empties | Products I Have Used Up #2

So I'm back with another empties post! I'm going to try and make this a monthly post and this month I have 12 products to review! I will admit 2 of these products haven't actually run out but they're either past their use by date or I just will not ever use it again! I love reading this tag because you get a much better review of the products as they have been used up.

First photo
Palmolive Soft & Gentle Extra Fresh Anti-Perspirant Deoderant in Lotus & Watermelon - this also featured in my last empties post so it shows that I really like this deoderant! It has a really fresh smell  which stays with you for a while. It's not the strongest deoderant but it's okay for me.

Radox Shower Smoothies in Island Indulgence - I have a review on this shower gel which you can read HERE. I really love this! It smells like tropical fruit and has real bits of fruit in. It lathers up really well and leaves the smell on your skin after you come out the shower. I tend to swap up my shower gels when I run out but I will definitely repurchase it if I see it on offer!

Sainsbury's Totalcare Denture Cleansing Tablets - this is bit of a weird product to put on my empties post but as I have a retainer, I use denture cleaning tablets to clean it! These take about 10 minutes to clean, but can be left over night if you want. I've been using different types of tablets, and I'm actually quite liking the ones I am using now which are the Steradent Pro as they clean in 3 minutes. I'm not fussed on which ones I use though! I just buy what ever is on the shelf or is the cheapest!

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Cream Wash - I've featured this in my Skin Saviours and My Skin Care Routine blog posts as this face wash really helped my skin clear up! It's gentle and because it's a cream it doesn't dry out my skin. I also really like the fresh grapefruit smell which is a plus!

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser - this is also featured in My Skin Care Routine as this is my daily moisturiser. I've been through quite a few of these and I like that it gives my skin a lot of moisture and at the same time isn't harsh to my skin. Simple is a really nice brand and I like quite a few of their products!

Hugo Boss Orange For Women Eau De Toilette 50ml - because my boyfriend got me another bottle of this perfume for my birthday (read about what I got HERE) I allowed myself to use up the last few sprays of this perfume! I love how fruity and fresh this perfume is and it's great for any occasion. I'm on my 3rd bottle of this so is my most bought perfume, so it's definitely a favourite!

Second photo
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Sample in Light - I have a review on this BB cream which you can read HERE. I'm not a huge fan of this BB cream, so I only used up one of the samples. I gave the one to my sister and the other is just sitting in my makeup bag. It's too orange for me and I don't think it sits right on my skin, which is a shame.

Bio-oil - I have quite bad stretch marks on my thighs so I like to use bio-oil to try and fade them. I do like this product, but I think it's far too expensive. I also have some Rescue Oil which is exactly the same which you can buy from Poundland, so when I use up my next bottle of Bio-oil I will probably start using Rescue Oil instead!

Tea Tree Spot Stick - this is one of the products that I haven't used up, in fact I think I used it twice then realised how much of a bad idea this product is! It's a roller ball spot treatment so you roll it on a blemish to help it heal. This means that bacteria from one spot can be spread around your face when you're dealing with multiple blemishes! Not good when you want to decrease the amount of spots you have because spreading the bacteria can make it worse!

Freederm Spot Treatment Gel - this is a much better way to treat your blemishes! I've been through quite a few of these gels and love it! It's really effective at removing spots whilst still being gentle on my skin. This features in both my Skin Saviours and My Skin Care Routine too!

Johnson's Face Care Nourishing Facial Cleansing Wipes for Dry Skin - I love these face wipes! They remove all kinds of makeup including waterproof mascara and leave my skin feeling really soft after using them. I will definitely be using these wipes for the rest of my life they're that good! These also feature in My Skin Care Routine!

Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment Gel - yet another spot treatment! My skin isn't that bad, it's just I try out quite a few products to see what works best. This is out of date so I had to throw it out even though there is still some left! This is what I used before Freederm, but I think it was a bit harsh on my skin. It is quite effective, but I think I over used it and it just did more harm than good in the end!

Hope this was a useful post!

Review | Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Sample Kit

I recently ordered some free samples of the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream (which you can still order HERE) in shade Light off of the Maybelline website. This is a great chance to try this product as you don't even have to sign up for any news letters or annoying e-mails, simply enter your address and interests! You receive 3 1ml sachets per pack, and from each sachet you can get about 2 uses.

When I opened the sachet and applied it to the back of my hand the colour seemed very orange for my skin tone, which worried me a bit. Once I started blending it into my skin with my fingers (my foundation brush didn't seem to work well with it) it evened out, but I found that it still left an orange tinge to my face. This is the issue I always find with BB creams, in particular the Garnier one, they're just too orange for me!

The consistency of the BB cream was nice, much like a liquid foundation but much sheerer when on the skin. It evens your skin out well but doesn't cover blemishes and I don't think it would help people with visible skin problems. I had to use Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer as well with this product which kind of defeats the purpose as with BB cream you want a fresh looking and feeling face. The only issue I had with the product was the smell, I wasn't too keen on it but I'm sure some people will like it.

The finish of this BB cream is the typical dewy look, so your skin feels brighter and looks healthy. I prefer a matte finish so I did wear my Stila foundation powder, featured in this haul, over the top. The BB cream did last well on my skin. I used the Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer (review HERE) underneath so this could have helped it stay on longer.

Maybelline claim that this BB cream offers 8 different qualities: "Imperfections look blurred, A natural looking glow, Fresh feel, Compliments skin tone, Skin looks smooth, Hydrates, Protects with SPF 30 & Oil-free/ non-greasy".
I agree that imperfections look blurred (but not covered), it gives you a natural and dewy glow, is light weight and feels fresh, it hydrates as your skin feels soft and that it isn't oily/ greasy. 
I'm unsure whether it has SPF 30 as I didn't wear it in the sun (English weather is terrible) but I'm sure it does. 
I disagree that it compliments skin tone as it was a bit orange for me and that it smooths your skin, it just feels like a light layer on the skin so my skin still appears normal.

I think that overall it's a nice product and I will use the samples but I'm just not someone who's keen on the BB cream hype! I don't think it works for me, but I wish it did. For now I'll stick to my Max Factor Xperience Weightless Foundation as that is lightweight like a BB cream but works so much better for my skin.

What do you think about BB creams? Do you use the Maybelline one?

June Favourite's

So I thought I would show you a selection of products I have been loving this month!


♥ Garnier Intensive 7 Days Replenishing Lotion in Nutritive Mango Oil for Dry skin: I have quite dry skin so a body lotion is a must have for me. I've been using this nearly every day for a couple of months and leaves my skin so soft and smelling like mangoes, which is great! This is a nice body lotion to use before fake tan because it's not greasy and sinks in really fast.

♥ Schwarzkopf got2b Guardian Angel heat protectant: I only use heat on my hair a couple times a week maximum but when I do I always reach for this protectant over my other ones. I really like the smell of this and doesn't take too long to dry so I can use my straighteners quite quickly. I usually buy this from Savers as it's about £2.50 there as opposed to £4.05 in Superdrug.

♥ Dirty Works Buff Your Stuff Body Scrub: with the body lotion I use, this exfoliator helps prep my skin for fake tan. It has bits of pumice stone in and other great stuff like: almond oil, shea butter and vitamin E. Despite it feeling a little rough on the skin it does leave my skin feeling really soft. It's really accessable to buy from places like Sainsburys.

♥ Collection 2000 Cream Puff Lip Cream in 01 Cotton Candy: I've never been a massive fan of regular lip gloss, which is why I like these cream puffs. They're a soft, opaque lip product which have a matte finish. This was the first one of these cream puffs I bought and I really love the pink colour.

♥ Dove Treatment Intesive Repair Hair Mask: my hair becomes quite dry and frizzy because it's naturally curly. I use this about once a week on the lengths and ends of my hair. It is great at making my hair really soft, minimising split-ends and defines my curls.

♥ Maybelline Expert Wear Mono Eye Shadow in Sparkling Gold and Naked Beige these are really nice golden eye shadows that when layered together or used seperately are lovely colours. They have great pigmentation too and last a long time.

What are your June favourites?

My Everyday Makeup


I love reading blogs and watching videos about what makeup people use on daily basis so I thought I would give you a peak into what is in my makeup bag! I have dry/ normal skin and I am quite sensitive to some products, so I tend not to switch around on items too often once I’ve found something that works for me.



Face makeup
♥Max Factor Xperience Weightless Foundation: 45 Raw Silk
A great foundation that is oil free and light weight so it doesn’t clog up your pores. This foundation is light to medium coverage, but can be built up to a much fuller medium coverage. I apply this with my Lydia Professionals F-010 foundation brush which I purchased from eBay.

♥Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer: 2 Light
This product is raved about so much and personally I think it deserves all the hype it gets! This concealer is a heavy coverage product that blends really nicely. I use this on blemishes and under my eyes.

♥Natural Collection Loose Powder: Neutral Translucent
Natural Collection is such a great brand. All the items are under £2 and their products, like the powders, work so well for me. This powder isn’t cakey feeling and leaves my skin quite matte. I apply this with my Body Shop Face and Body powder brush.

♥Natural Collection Blusher Powder: Pink Cloud
A great light pink blusher. I apply this with a Cosmopolitan blusher brush from Superdrug.


Eye makeup
♥Urban Decay Naked Pallet
One of my favourite makeup pieces of all time! I’m sure you’ve all seen this pallet and heard great reviews about it. I like to use Virgin (a shimmery white/ pink) on the lid and Naked (matte light brown) in the crease using the flat eyeshadow brush that comes in the pallet and a Prestige Shadow Sweep #104 brush.

♥Bourjois Eyeshadow Duo: 16 Crazy baby
This product was given to me by my friend and I don’t think they sell this anymore but the white shimmer colour is great as an inner-corner highlight.

♥M.U.A Eyeliner Pencil: Rich Brown
I love this eyeliner it’s so pigmented and creamy so it’s great to put above the lash line. M.U.A eyeliners are only £1. I would recommend checking them out, especially the brown as it’s much more natural looking than applying a black liner.

♥Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara: Glam Black
I remember getting this a couple of years ago and the first time I used this mascara I was like WOW! It makes my eyelashes so long and thick, it’s a staple in my makeup bag.

♥Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara: Black
This mascara does exactly what it says on the tin (well tube). It makes my eyelashes so volumised and black I just can’t live without it!

 
Lip makeup
♥Revlon Colourburst Lipbutter
When I heard about these being released in the US I wanted them right away! They eventually came out a few months later in the UK whilst Boots had a 3 for 2 offer on all cosmetics, so naturally I bought 3 in one go (Tutti Frutti, Berry Smoothie and Strawberry Shortcake). They’re so moisturising and have a lovely colour pay off!

These products create a natural look that is perfect for daily wear such as for college or sixth form. I hope you enjoyed this post and helped you if you’re looking for any new makeup to try out!

What are you makeup must haves?
