First Impressions: Colour Trend Kiss 'n' Go Lipsticks

If you're like me and when you think of Colour Trend you'll think it's cheap products for younger girls. I myself bought some make up from Colour Trend when I was in my early teens and I absolutely LOVE it and I believe that love is coming back.

I bought Kiss 'n' Go lipsticks in Rich Berry, Vino Disco and Raisin Wine, £3.50 each normally but they're on an offer right now, 3 for £5 a saving of £5.50!

Vino Disco

Out of all of them I LOVE Raisin Wine and Rich Berry, but Vino Disco was a bit of a disappointment. It didn't apply as smooth as the others and trying to clean up the edges was difficult because the colour does that horrible staining that some other lipsticks do. Also the lipsticks look completely different from in the campaign booklet especially the pink looking ones, so make sure you look online for reviews about them!

On the plus side none of them feel drying and them Smell AMAZING. Raisin Wine smells like Chocolate, Vino Disco smells of Vanilla and Rich Berry smells of chocolate but a different kind of chocolate, very odd. I've had Raisin Wine on while writing this and it's stayed very well.

Overall, I really like them and for how much you're paying they are worth it!

Review: bhcosmetics 2nd edition 120 Pallet

I first laid my eyes on the pallet in an xsparkage video, it looked absolutely amazing! I looked at their website and thought the $29.95 for the 2nd edition was reasonable but then the postage was about $25 and my dreams of owning one were shattered...or so I thought. 

A few weeks later I came across them on Twitter and noticed they were doing a giveaway. All you had to do was tell them what you liked most about their products. I entered thinking I had no hope in hell however myself and 6 other lucky girls won. 

The mailing time was about a week and a half (from the US to the UK). It arrived in a medium sized box and was well protected on the inside with brown paper and bubble wrap. 

Pros

- The colour pay off/opacity on most of the colours is great -so much so you don't need a base to make it stand out- and there's no need to really push your brush into it to get more colour.

- It has a mix of shimmery and matte colours that are very similar which is good if you want just one colour but want a bit of shimmer in certain places.

-  It has pretty much every colour you could ever need.

- The packaging is great, it's simple and there's a little tag to pull up the pallet from beneath without your fingers slipping in to a shadow the process.

Cons

- The light blues don't apply to my eyelid very well and don't stand out as much as I'd like.

- I thought the pallet as a whole and the shadows themselves would be bigger. 

- Shipping out of the US is pretty expensive, almost as much as the product itself.

Overall I really liked it and I'd give this 8/10
