First up I have Colour Bomb powder blush for €3.99. I fell in love with the colour the moment I seen it on the stand and had to get it. A lovely colour gradient of peach and coral. I'm not sure if you can see in the photo above but it is a shimmer blush. Not something I have tried before and I like it. It gives a lovely glow to my cheeks.

I was like a kid in a candy store I must admit, just look at the packaging. Absolutely amazing. I knew I wanted this Explosive Combination quad the moment I seen it and I hadn't even opened it to look at the colours at that stage! In this smokey eye palette you have three shadows and 1 dark shade of cake eye liner. The palette also comes with a duo applicator brush which I know a majority of you will dispose of and never think about using. I was impressed with the shadows pigment. The middle two, light and dark gold are the best out of the quad. The lovely coral colour is not as pigmented but with dabbing motions you can get a nice effect on the eye. I did use the due applicator brush to apply liner on my top lid my rubbing the dark matt colour into the roots of my lashes. Palette costs €4.99.
Again I can not stess this enough I LOVE THE PACKAGING! opps sorry for shouting. Isn't this a gorgeous red. Its called blood red and I have been looking for a shade like this recently. It has great staining power. I apply three layers when doing my lipstick. I use a lip brush to apply the first layer then blot it on some paper, apply another layer and then apply some power on top and then apply my third and final layer. I find this the best way to make my lipstick last without the need to re-apply. Costs €4.99.
The final look using all three products. I have to say an absolute bargain. Affordable, great quality and packaging I will be proud enough to display on my vanity.
What do you think? I found these beauties in my local pharmacy and I believe you can find them in Mc Cabes pharmacy too.
Love,
Sarah
