Beauty UK Halloween Makeup Must Haves!

Hey beaut's!

If you’re off to a party this Halloween or just looking to add a smoky element to your makeup look, then take a look at these makeup must haves by one of my favourite, budget, high street makeup brands Beauty UK! Looking great this Halloween doesn’t have to cost a fortune as Beauty UK's makeup ranges from £2.99 to £5.99 and the great thing is, all of the products that I'm featuring in today's post can be used again and not just for Halloween, woohoo! So if you want to achieve a dark but dangerous look this Halloween and don't want to spend a fortune then check out some of these beauties....

Beauty UK Lipstick in Naughty* and Darkness* £3.49 each

Both of lipstick these shades would be perfect for Halloween, whether your going for a vampy, bright red lip or something more traditional, dark and scary looking then Beauty UK have got it covered. Both Naughty and Darkness apply beautifully, they are so creamy and super moisturising and feel very comfortable on the lips, they are both packed full of pigmentation and last on the lips hours, they are the kind of lippies that once the moisturising layer has worn off your left with a stain of colour on your lips that's gives the illusion that your still wearing lipstick which is always great!

Beauty UK Posh Palette in Galaxy £5.99

I've actually featured this Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette on my blog before (review HERE) but I just had to add it in this post as I think the shades and finishes are perfect for those Halloween smokey eyes, you could achieve countless amounts of fancy dress looks with the shades within this palette all for a small £5.99, that's about 59p per eyeshadow, BARGAIN!

Beauty UK Glacier Gloss in Plum & Have a Go* £2.99

 The Glacier Glosses are quite new to Beauty UK  and promise a high impact shine and intense colour payoff and their certainly not wrong as I blooming love this gloss. Plum and Have a Go is the darkest of the 10 shades available but you could certainly get away with wearing it for everyday use during the Halloween period, in fact I'd wear it all year round however if you aren't so brave with brighter, more intense shades for everyday use this gloss would be great for nights out too. 

Beauty UK NAILS Nail Polish in Black Out* £2.99

It wouldn't be a true Halloween makeup post without a classic black nail polish would it he he. Again I have featured Beauty UK's new 'Nails' Nail Polishes quite heavily on my blog before because the formula of them is simply amazing, it's just so lovely and very easy to work with, it applies smooth with no bubbling or streaking what so ever and is slightly thicker that some other nail polishes I've tried, which I automatically like because I find thicker nail polishes seem to last so well. As you can see form the swatches the Black Out shade really is full on Black and isn't dull or grey looking in the slightest. The finish of the Beauty UK nail polishes really reminds me of a gel like finish, it's lovely and glossy and feels very hard wearing just like a gel polish would, arrrhh I just love this formula, it's so amazing and really replicates high end quality.

Beauty UK 5 in 1 Base & Top Coat* £3.99

No matter what nail polish you wear you should always start with a good base coat and when using Black nail polish in particular this is an absolute essential because staining can be terrible, I'd highly recommend this 5 in 1 Base & Top Coat by Beauty UK because just like the nail polishes the formula is amazing! The Base & Top Coat is enriched with 5 different vitamins and 5 plant extracts which are proven to improve your nails conditions, not only is this a smoothing base coat and an extremely  glossy top coat but it also moisturises and hydrates, contains an advanced strengthener and has an anti-brittle treatment so overall it really works wonders for your nails and I absolutely love it! 

There you have it beaut's, just a few makeup items from Beauty UK that I've been road tested and that I think are great to incorporate during the Halloween season! I also found a cheeky discount code that Beauty UK seem to be offering at the moment, you can get 25% off all products on their website using the code TrickorTreat14 at checkout (expires 31st October 2014), so if everything wasn't cheap enough now you can get save a few more pennies, whoop he he!

Have you tried any makeup by Beauty UK that you think would be great for Halloween?? I'd love to know beaut's!

Beauty UK Posh Eyeshadow Palette Review in No4 Galaxy

Hey beaut's!

Over the last couple of months Beauty UK have really been on it with their new releases, the shades all look amazing, the packaging has had a revamp, the quality of each product is great and most importantly the prices are still extremely affordable and totally budget friendly. Recently I've been trying out a few different makeup items from Beauty UK and as you probably already know I'm in love with their new Nails nail polishes, the formula is incredible and if you haven't tried them yet I'd urge you to do so as they are fabulous! Anywhoooo, today I have a review of one of Beauty UK's newest Posh Eyeshadow Palettes in the shade Galaxy.

Beauty UK's Posh Eyeshadow Palette in Galaxy* comes packaged in a fuss free, sturdy, white plastic palette that has a long mirror within the lid and a double ended applicator wand, which is ideal for any emergency touch up on the go. The palette itself contains 10 eyeshadows in total and is mostly made up of metallics and shimmers but they have also thrown in one matte shade for good measure. The shade range in the Galaxy Palette is stunning, theres a mixture of golds, bronze, purples and dark greys which I think would be perfect and best suited for evening/night out makeup looks because the palette is somewhat dark and smokey, I can definitely see that numerous killer smokey eye looks could be made from this palette that's for sure. The formula and texture of the eyeshadows within the palette is actually pretty good, they are all soft to swatch, the pigmentation is really good, the shadows are easy to work with and blend out beautifully and the colour pay off from your makeup brush to the skin is really good too. The only real downside I would say is that these shadows do tend to fall out slightly during application but it's nothing a foundation brush cant fix he he, I will just warn you that the gold shade in particular will have you looking like a disco ball throughout the day because it contains so many minute glitter particles they just work their way down you face which is never a good look so just be weary of that. As for staying power... I have no complaints at all really, they last on my lids a good 7 hours before I start to notice some fading happening and for such an affordable palette I'm not going to grumble at that at all, I do suggest using a primer if you have slightly dryer lids though. 

Overall I really do like this little palette, I think it will be ideal to use for more dramatic night out looks and the shade range really is lovely, it's also really affordable too and will set you back just £5.99, that's just around 59p per eyeshadow, what a beauty bargain!!!

Something that I love about Beauty UK is that they offer these little nail polish gift sets which is something I very rarely see other makeup brands do so I love the uniqueness. Beauty UK actually offer 5 set shades to choose from which all include 6 mini 8ml bottles of nail polishes, the set I have is called Tropical and is full of shades get for Summer, how cute would any of these shades look on your nails for your beach holidays, summer parties and even summer BBQ's... arrrhh I just love them.
