affordable

VIVO.

          If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you'll know that I do thrive for a good deal or a nice cheap money saver. Whilst in my favorite local makeup shop Primor, I come across quite a few of these. My favorite this month has to have been VIVO.


          Let me start by saying the company has amazing price for money and the packaging is also great! Its products are equally as wearable as smaller products in more expensive ranges. They are long lasting and have really good pigmentation.


          The first product I came across whilst browsing was the Baked Shimmer Palette and may I just say I haven't seen something so amazing! It comes in a set of four baked shimmer eye shadows and a baked blush that is indeed my favorite out of the palette. 


          Then I found this blush and highlight trio that comes with a cream blush in the colour Brazen, a powder blush in the colour Pursue and a baked shimmer in the colour Capture.


          And lastly I purchased the Beauty Balm BB Cream and Primer which have somehow made it into my mums everyday routine and since then has now stocked up on another two of them.

W7 In The Mood Palette Review.

21:26






Whilst browsing through Primor aka my new favorite shop ever, I came across a section full of W7 products and I directly fell in love with the simplicity and colors of this palette. It is a small tin palette with mate nude colors in it and very very similar to the Nude palettes but the thing is, it only cost me 4 euros. I know, its unbelievable and totally worth it, I promise. The thing is, I thought that if you love the Naked Palette colors, like obviously anyone would, but you aren't a massive makeup person and your not in the hype and you don't just want to by the Naked palette for the sake of collecting them (like I do) I really think you can achieve the same or REALLY similar look to a Naked Palette with a couple of these W7 palettes if not one.
W7 have a massive range of cheap products and bigger palettes both shimmers and mattes and I totally recommend them to anyone who wants to try out makeup or just simply doesn't want to spend all of their pocket money on a Urban Decay Palette.
My two favorite colors in this palette are Wink and Katie (this one is very similar to Tease out of the Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette) and I also really like how Cargo (Similar to Naked 2 Blackout) looks with these two colors in the crease.
Today's question is, what cheap makeup products do you recommend me to try out?Xx

Inexpensive summer outfit.

16:28

ITS FINALLY SUMMER! YAY! I am so so happy it is finally summer, but at the same time I wasn't at all prepared for the 45 degree heat wave we just experienced here in Spain yesterday.
As I just said, it is very very very warm here and everyone loves a inexpensive cool outfit (or at least I think I'm not the only one) and I thought about sharing with you this one I put together the other day. The outfit itself (without shoes or sandals) tots up to a fabulous 9 euros which I think is a total bargain and it looks so summery and cool with a quirky and edgy side to it.




When I wore this outfit I styled it with a gold chain just to give it a bit more of a "dressy up" look, and I wore it with my white Stradivarious pumps (obviously!) but I think it would look really cute with some white chunky sandals (that you can find really cheap at Primark).
What do you think of this outfit? Would you like me to post more?
Love, Ellie x
