Review: Tecnic brushes

Hey guys,
 
So today in the post I received a package from technic which included five brushes. I've been really excited to try these out for a long time as I knew I was going to receive them! When I saw the packaging I was in love, as they are so professional and it also looks very expensive.


I received 5 brushes in total, these were a body brush a concealer brush, smoky eye brush, foundation brush and a smudger brush. When you open up the packaging you receive your brush and a card and on this card has some simple tips for looking after the brush e.g. How to clean them. 


One of my favourite things about these brushes are how soft they are! All of the bushes are synthetic, which make the hair on the brush so silky and really smooth on your face. I also love the brush sizes as they are not too big but not too small they're just perfect size, what I also love about them is they are perfect for travelling they fit in my travel bag perfectly, and they are really light. 

My favourite brush has got to be the body brush as I have never felt a brush so soft before!! I think I will be using this for my powder on my face because I don't use too much and this will really help to get the powder on my face evenly. 


Here are pictures of the other brushes j recieved: 


I love the gold detailing on the brushes contrasting with the coral/pink colour brush as it makes them stand out and it makes them look quite expensive/ high end. I also can't believe the prices of these brushes!! 

Foundation brush: £3.99
Body brush: £4.99
Smudger brush: £2.99
Smokey eye brush: £2.99 
Concealer: £2.99 


As you can see all of these brushes are extremely affordable and for the products they are definitely worth it! I would of at least expected the brushes to be £7.00 or £8.00! I would recommend these brushes to anyone who is looking for a great quality brush that is also affordable. 
If you would like to get your own of these brushes go to website below and order your own!!

Review: Collection cosmetics

Hey guys,
 So I have another review for you all, and it's another review on some Collection products that I received today. So here is everything I received:

 
My last post, I reviewed the eye shadow and eyebrow kit, so in this post I will be reviewing Everything else.

First I want to show you the lasting perfection concealer, I am in love with this product! This has such a great coverage and it last for up to 16hrs, which for a concealer is amazing! So many people I know use this product and for the price, I highly recommend. 


I also love how it's in such a small bottle which is easy to take around with you in your bag, or even in a travel bag for holiday.  I also love how the brush is so easy to apply onto your face. I wear this under my eyes and on any blemishes I  have. This is also really good for covering up any red patches on your skin. 

Next is the eye shadow pencil which is such an amazing colour! I have the colour Vanilla Sky. This has such a cute shimmer in it and is so opaque! I have never had one of these before so when I opened this I was so excited to try it! 


On my skin this comes out so well, as its a lot lighter. It also is such an easy way to apply eye shadow quickly, without any hassle. I think this would be so nice for a night look or even as a highlighter! 

The next product is the glam crystal sparkly eye liners, and these are one of my favourite products I have ever reviewed! I am in love with how shiny these are and how easy it is to apply these! Sometimes I find a plain black liner can over power my eye look so I think these will be perfect to add as a small accent, to give my look a bit of extra shimmer. 


I also love the size of the brush for these as it's not to big and it's super quick and easy to apply. I also love how there's a clear base with a small tint of colour just so your eyes arnt too dark. These are one of the easiest eye liners I've ever tried to apply as the brush is just such a great size, and can hold a lot of the products so I can do my eye liner with what's on the brush already with out getting more. 

Next I want to show you the 'Big fake curves false lash effect mascara' which I am so excited to show you!!! I have never tried a mascara that can change the length my eye lashes so dramatically before! Even the packaging to this is just so unique and girly which I love! Another thing that this mascara has is a 2 ended brush one thicker than the other, which helps to create depth throughout the lashes.


Ok my eye lashes I expected it to feel quite heavy but it wasn't at all! It's feels like your not even wearing mascara, and it looks like you have false lashes on! I wouldn't usually wear false eye lashes everyday but with this you can get the effect just without the actual lashes. This is something that I would defiantly recommend to all girls that like a fuller more defined looking eye lashes. Here is what it looks like on my eyes after just 1 coat:
The next product I want to talk about is the 'Deluxe' lipstick in the colour 'Speakeasy' 04. Now this is something that I really want to show you all as it's one of the best lipsticks I've ever tried! The colour on the packaging is spot on to the colour when applied on to my lips which sometimes, doesn't always happen. This colour is so girly and has has such a cute packaging! This really does look high end! 


I also love how smoothly this applies on to my lips, it is so simple to do and creates a pop of colour very easily with no second coats. I also found as the tip is pointy I can use it to line my lips for an extra definition! Here is what this looks like on my lips:
The next products are the eye liners I received, one is the fast stroke liquid liner in 'Black 1' and the other is the 'Extreme felt tip liner' also in 'Black 1' Both of these products have had so many good reviews, and I was so excited to try them both out! The first one I want to talk about is the liquid liner, this is what it looks like on my skin: 


This was such a shock as to how good this was! The brush is so easy to apply and it is also quite thin which makes it easier to apply on to your eyes. I was also so happy to see how quickly this will dry so it's less likely to smudge! This also has such an opaque opacity which makes the eye liner become more Bold on your eyes. Here is what it looks like on my eyes: 

The next product then is the felt tip liner. I had never used a felt tip liner before so I was excited to try it out and see if I find it easier to use than the liquid, and for me the felt tip is so much easier! Here is what it looks like on my skin:

 As you can see this is such an amazing eye liner! The tip is very thin which makes it easy to get a smooth thin line, also this has a 24 hr wear which for eye liner is amazing! I would definitely recommend buying and trying this out! If you want it but any of the produts above go online to: 

http://www.collectioncosmetics.co.uk

Where you can find everything there! 

So Thankyou for reading this, I know it was a long review but I really suggest you go and check these all out! Thankyou to Megan for sending me these, and I'll have another post up soon!

Review: Collection, Eye shadow and brow kit

Hey guys,
 So today in the post I had another package from Megan, with some Collection products. I thought I would split up the reviews into different posts, so the first one is the collection Eyebrow kit and the collection nude eye pallet. Both of these to me are so useful as I love wearing a nude eye for everyday looks and also to school. Here are both of the products I received:



So the first thing I want to review is the Collection nude eye pallet, which has 8 different shades and 1 highlighter. Something that I really like about these are, how each shade is numbered 1 to 3, 1 being the lightest. Some of the shades are a matte colour and some are extremely sparkly like the top third. I really like this as it gives you a choice of a day time look or a night time look in the same pallet. I also love how there is a small little brush that comes with the pallet which is very useful if you are out and don't have a brush or even if you don't have a brush in your house. These colours surprised me a lot as they come out so opaque, and you only need a small amount on your eyes for it to be  noticeable.



On the back of the packaging it comes with a 'how to use' instruction manual which makes it a lot easier to see what looks good, and how to apply the eye shadow easily. It also has very simple instructions so applying the shadow can be made extremely easy.




The next thing I want to talk about is the eyebrow kit which I am in love with! I love how it comes with 3 different shades which can be mixed together to get the perfect shade for your eyebrows. Inside the brow kit there is a small mirror which is so handy, and it also comes with a brush with two different shapes, one is an angled brush and one is just normal. This is really helpful when you want to create a more defined shape on the brow.



Another thing this kit comes with is the clear brow mascara which is literally what is says, its a clear mascara which you apply onto the eyebrow after you have applied the powder. This is easy to apply as it is a small bottle with a little brush. I also really like how there is a slot in the kit for the mascara to go, so you don't need to carry it separately.



If I had to recommend a nude eye shadow I would definitely chose this one from collection as its such a good price and has so many different shades which comes with a highlighter! Most eye shadow pallets I own do not come with a highlighter so I am so excited to be able to use this one.

Here is the before and after of my eyebrows using the kit: 


So thank you for reading this post, I will have more up soon with all of the other products I have received, if you would like to see everything I received you can check out my Instagram where all of the products will be on there; its @sasharose_xx

Review: Collection 'Galactica' products

Hey guys,
So in the post today I had a package from a lady called 'Megan' and she has sent me the new range of Galactica products for me to try out and review.

The first products I opened were the nail polishes. There were three different colours, a gold a silver and a blue. These products are one of the best polishes I have reviewed purely Because they dry within 30 seconds to 1 minute!! As soon as I put on the polish they would be wet for about 30 seconds and would be touch dry within a minute. Also the colours are so bright and they look amazing on my nails as they stand out so much! 

The brush for me is the same size as my nail and it is so easy to apply the polish, the polish is very bright so you don't need much on the brush and you will need a maximum of 2 coats. 


The next products were the three lip butters, these were in a crayon form and they are so easy to apply. The thing I love about these the most is how shiny they are! When I first saw these I thought they would be quite matte but it was the complete opposite on my lips.


My favourite lip butter is moon rock, this is because it's such an unusual colour and it for me looks the most natural on my lips. I feel like I could wear this out on a daily basis and even to school. These lip butters feel really smooth on my lips and they don't dry them out like some lip butters that are full of bright colour. Also I was suprised at how the pink colours come out on my lips and how they came out opaque. If I was to recommend just one I would say 'Moon Rock' as it's just my favourite and I love it.

The last things I got were the galactica eyeliners. I was so excited to try out these as I already have the black eyeliner from collection and I love it so much. When I first opened up the liners I was so suprised at how thin the brush was which for me is so good as I'm not the best at doing thin lines and the brushed really help me with getting a thin smooth line. 


What I also love about these would be at how interesting these can make your eyes look. I think this adds a really nice pop of colour and it's not too over powering. I also love how the brush is soft and not stiff which also helps me to apply the eye liner easily. I also love the packaging of all of these products as they are so different, and they stand out. 

I would definitely recommend these products to anyone who likes metallic colours or even just pops of colour, to get your own click on the link below and it will take you straight to the website; or you can go online and search for 'Collection™' and you can get them there. Thankyou for reading! Bye

Review: Miners Cosmetics

Hey guys,
 So in the post today I had a package with some Miners cosmetics samples inside, also a magazine. I opened the package and this is everything I received. 

I first tried out the lipstick which Is such a cute girly colour, it's a mix between a red and a pink. The packaging it comes in looks very professional and although it is simple it looks very effective and would stand out in a shop compared to the other lipsticks. I really like how it is purple and silver and at the bottom It's clear so you can see the colour of the lipstick.   This lipstick is called 'kiss me quick'. Another thing I love about this lipstick is how it is a moisture effect and it feels very smooth and soft on your lips. I Would recommend this as a night time lipstick instead of a daytime as it's quite bright and will make a very bold statement which for me is better at night. 


I opened was the dip and define eye Powder. When I first saw this I didn't know what it was until I took off the lid and a small eye shadow brush was attached I realised it was an eyeshadow. This was something I had never seen before but I love it. The colour inside is a very shimmery Pierport and it is called 'damson dust'. When I first applied it onto my eyes it was so so sparkly and I loved the way it was so easy to apply onto my eyes with no hassle of using another brush. Athough it is a very small bottle I can tell this will last me for a long time and will also be perfect to fit in my handbag when I'm out if I need to touch up my make up. Heres what it looked like on my eyes: 


The other products I were sent was two different types of eyeliner. The first one I opened was the define and line liquid liner. This came in a small black bottle with silver writing, I also think this product will be perfect for a handbag as it is so small it can easily fit. What I love about this product is the brush as it is so thin but it can hold alot of the product on it which is so helpful and makes it easier to apply. 

The other eyeliner I was sent was the colour & kohl pencil eyeliner in a navy blue colour. To me this was such a great colour as it is different to a plain black and can add a more interesting look. The name of it is just blue and the name of the liquid eyeliner is also blue. When I first got the pencil, when I opened it up it was very sharp which is so useful as I didn't need to sharpen it before use. I found that the tip wasn't sharp and was quite smooth so when using it on your skin it wasn't harsh and make nice smooth lines. I decided to see if I could make different sized lines so I tried it out on my hand and I made a thick medium and thin line from the same pencilit is great for all different kinds of people who like that eyeliner slightly different. Here's what it looked like on my hand:

So thank you for reading this review I hope you enjoyed it, if you would like to find these products out, all of the social medias and the miners cosmetics website will be in a picture below so you can find them there. 
Huge thankyou to Miners Cosmetics for sending me these! Please come back and check out my blog again!

How I wear my flower hairband

 Hey guys,
So I really wanted to do a different kind of post today, as I've done so many reviews and thought it would be nice to split it up.  I'm going to try and add in some posts other than reviews for you.

So today I wanted to show you how I wear my flower hairband, because when I first bought it I needed help on how to wear it. Also I've seen a lot of people asking how they style theirs so I hope this will help.

So when I first got my hairband the first look I wanted to create was a fishtail plait, to me this looked really hard and I didn't know how I was going to do it until I watched some YouTube™ videos And learnt how. I love how this looks on my hair, and its so easy and quick to do and with the hairband it looks so cute! 

Also you can see on the right that I sometimes just leave my hair natural and put the hairband in, because I have naturally straight hair this is one of my simplest  looks I can create. Alternatively you could curl or wave your hair then put the hair band in, to make it a bit more interesting.

Another way you can style your hair band is, after you come out of the shower plait your hair then dry it, sleep over night and take it out in the morning, then you have beach waves, this is such an easy easy way to get wavy hair with no heat. 



Thankyou for reading this, I hope this helped you out!

Review: 'Technic' Lashitude mascara

Hey guys,
So today in the post received the Lashitude mascara by technic which I am so happy about as I really want to show this product to you all! The packaging is so cute and I love the grey/black Theme and it makes my eyelashes look so long! Here's a picture of what it looks like on my eyes:


The packaging is very shiny, and looks very professional and it looks like a very high end Product. The best thing is about this mascara is that it is only £3.99! I honestly feel like this is just as good as some of the mascaras that are worth £25 or even £30! I also love how simple it looks, but very effective and looks different from any other mascaras in the shops. Here is what the packaging looks like:

The brush on the mascara is just perfect as it has such a convenient size, and it is so easy to apply onto your eyelashes! The brush is very full and can hold a lot of product on it which makes applying it very simple, and I think this makes my eyelashes look like I am wearing false ones. Also the length of the stick is not too long but not too short either so it makes it easy to apply onto your lashes without getting any on your skin. I found that waiting for my first coat to dry it helped to make my eyelashes look fuller after applying a second coat. 


When I first saw this product I thought it was very expensive and I was so surprised to see to see that it was only £3.99! For the money I think this product is excellent! Especially if you are just starting off and need some make up this would be a perfect product for you. I especially love how thick the lid is so it's easier to hold when applying. If I was to buy another mascara I would definitely choose this as it is easy to work with and definitely in my price range! 


I decided to do a make up look in which this mascara matched perfectly, I wanted to try out a smoky Eye look and used the smoky technic palette that I received not long ago, I found that both of these products were fantastic and i definitely will recommend both of them to anyone looking for any products like them. Here is the before and after of my eyes when using both products.

So thank you for reading this I really hope you have enjoyed seeing how I would wear this mascara, if you want to buy these you can type in technic and find it on the Internet all the products will be there, a big thankyou to Sally for sending me these! I hope to review more of your products soon! New post soon!

Review: Decoden iPhone cases

Hey guys,
So in the post today i recieved 2 iphone cases for my phone. These cases are called 'decoden' cases which originally comes from Japan. Both of these cases had themes, the first from @milkissdeco on instgram has a pink theme and @cloudkawaii on Instagram a colourful my little pony. Here's what the phone cases look like:


My case from @milkissdeco has a large pink chocolate cabochon, pink ice cream scoop, pink bow, marshmallow and my favourite the strawberry!! If you look closely the strawberry has little pink sparkles which makes it look so pretty and girly! The piping on this case is just amazing and this case look so professional! I think this case would look even better on a white iPhone but I still love it on my 'space grey' coloured one! 
Here is a closeup picture of the case:



Another thing I love about this case is how it's not too cramped and there is lots of room to see the great piping that Is on the case! This case I was sent was of her website, so If you want to see where ou an but your own check the link at the end of this post! I found that the cabochons on this case are really well stuck on and I really think they will not come off as the case feels very high quality and it is worth the money 100%!


The other case I have is the very colourful case from @cloudkawaii which I also love just as much! My favourite thing about this case is how Colourful and packed full it is! This case is so cute and I love the mini my little pony at the bottom of the case, also the sprinkles that fill in the space. This is what the case looks like:


The piping on this case is also amazing! The star tip that has been used makes the case look very professional as well, it has such cute cabochons stuck on it which makes it look so interesting to look at, the little pink cloud I think stands out he most ok this case and I love it! The case is also very high quality and I can tell with both of the cases that they are not going to break. Both cases came in such cute packaging with little sweeties which I though was such a cute little touch and made them more interesting. To buy a case like these (100% recommend) you can check out both instgrams:

Case 1: @milkissdeco
Case 2: @cloudkawaii

And you can also check out they're websites:

Review: 'Technic' bright coloured products & summer look

Hey guys, 
So earlier today my second parcel from 'technic' arrived which I was so excited about becuase inside it had a load of bright coloured products for me to do something with on my blog. So instead of a normal review I am also going to do a summer look. I found that these particular products were perfect for a summer look, and I really wanted to share these with you. So here is what I recieved: 


Inside were 2 nail polishes, one 'Flamingo' and one 'Mimosa' 2 eye shadow pallets one 'brights' and one 'pastels' one juicy stick and 2 lipsticks 'sassy' and 'Popsicle' all together these products are so bright and colourful and they are all so good! First I will start with the eye shadows: 


These are such vibrant colours and are just perfect for summer! The 'bright' pallete includes 6 colours, and range from purple down to pinks into green and blue. At first I thought these colours were not going to show up but they deffinetly did! Compared to the pastel pallete you can deffinetly see a difference. On my eyes these came out just as good as on my hand! The colours do not fall under my eyes and have a really smooth feel to them. I also found that the colour does not fade throughout the day, and as long as you don't rub or smudge your eyes they will look the same as when you put it on! Usually I will use my own eye shadow brush for my eyes but I have started using the one that comes with the eyeshadow. I found that the application was a lot easier with the one that came with the shadow.

Next I want to talk about these nail polishes becuase they are the best things! I love Neon coloured nail polishes but I have never had one myself! When these arrived I was so exited and just had to test them out! The yellow is 'mimosa' and the pink is 'flamingo' they are both very very vibrant and have an amazing glossy finish to them. The yellow needs around 2 coats but the pink is fine with one. The brush size for these is also the perfect size as they are not to big and are easy to use. I also found that applying a coat of white polish on the nail before the colour will help the opacity, and you may only need 1 coat. These were also extremely fast drying which I was not expecting! 

Next I received these lovely lipsticks, one pink and one orange. Both of these come in very sophistiacted packaging, and although it is very simple they look very high end. I also love how it is a matte black packaging, which makes the lipstick stand out a lot.  


I found that these lipsticks came out so vibrant first time! Both of them are very shiny and have a really nice smooth feel to them. The actual lipstick was really easy to use and it had a slant so it was easier to trace the outline of your lips. In the summer I can imagine these colours looking so pretty and girly! Usually on a lipstick what shows on the bottle is not what comes out exactly, but with these they were spot on! My Favourite of the two I think is the orange becuase it is quite unusual and I think it's less harsh. I also recieved another juicy stick but this time in the colour 'tropics' I thought that this was just like a crayon for your lips and it so fun to use! The colour comes out very opaque and smooth. I found using this a lot easier than a lip stick. It is shaped in a triangular shape which is easy to use and has a twist up end to 'top it up'.

 
I would deffinetly recommend any of these products if you like a 'pop of colour' in your makeup look, and if you do I have decided that I am going to do a summer look using these products and making the perfect girly makeup look for a summer day.

 To achieve this look you will need: 
 *'Brights' colour palete 
 * 'Popsicle' lip stick 
 * 'Flamingo' nail polish 
And any mascara of your choice. 


1. Start by applying the red/orange shadow all over your eyelid. Then take a darker colour of your choice and apply in the crease of the eyelid.
2. Take your mascara and apply it on your eyes, bottom and top lashes. 

3. Apply the lipstick on to your lips, making sure you outline them with the lipstick first. ( or you can use a lip liner)

4. Paint your nails with the fluorescent yellow polish, wear something to match and you are done! 

So I hope you liked this post today, maybe in the future I can make more like this! 

Big thankyou to 'Technic' for sending me all of these fantastic products! Please check out there website and have a look and maybe buy something!
