The Body Shop Star Dust Review & Makeup Look

I picked up this cute little bottle of pink star dust from The Body Shop over Christmas and have been having a lot of fun with it. I thought it'd be nice to show you how I to use it on my eyes as well as doing a review...hopefully you find it helpful!

In terms of quality and price I think this star dust is very good. It was pretty cheap for what it's worth and the packaging is seriously too cute. I love the fact it has a tiny opening to shake the sparkles out unlike a lot of pigments, otherwise I'd have it everywhere.

It's different than a pigment in terms of size. The sparkles are obviously much larger and couldn't be used to highlight inner corners of the eye like a pigment could for example. It's purely handy to use over the lid and I find it much easier to apply over the top of a cream eyeshadow.

I personally love this star dust, it's super glitzy if that's the look you're going for and would be awesome at a club or something of the like.

Tip: If you're applying this over the eyes, make sure you don't put foundation or concealer on until last because it goes everywhere!

Unfortunately the photos don't portray just how head turning sparkly the star is. I don't have many body shop makeup products but this has sold me to go back and try out some more.

What are your favourite body shop products? Would love to have some recommendations!

Product Review - theBalm Nude 'tude Eyeshadow Palette

Hey guys!

It's been awhile since I've done a product review and what better review to do than this a-m-a-z-i-n-g eyeshadow palette by theBalm. My best friend gave this palette to me as a part of my 18th Birthday present and I'm already loving it (thanks Kristina)!

I find a lot of eyeshadow palettes to come in quite boring packaging, however the packaging on this one is so cute. It's also very light and compact so ideal for travelling.

A two-sided brush is provided alongside the eyeshadows which I actually haven't used but intend on doing so soon. I have enough brushes as it is, however if you're just starting out with makeup then it looks like a pretty handy and good quality brush to me.

The palette comes with 12 highly pigmented shades; 4 matte and 8 shimmery. When I first used the shade 'Sleek' I was shocked at actually how pigmented these shadows are and how creamy the texture is. I think aside from colours, this is my favourite part about them. I didn't have any trouble blending, in fact I find them much easier to blend than my many MAC eyeshadows.

Being more of a neutrals gal when it comes to eyeshadows, these shades are perfect. I love that it comes with some matte shades also as I don't always want to use shimmer. I've also found their dense texture and high pigmentation to be a very nice eyeliner on days I get a little 'eye lazy' or just want something a little more natural and subtle.

Although Nude 'tude isn't the cheapest of eyeshadows, I'd highly recommend it to anyone. It's such a cute, fun and versatile palette, the shades are simply too gorgeous to pass up...a great addition to anyone's makeup bag :)

Have you tried this palette?
