The Craziest Brand in Town...

Hello Lovelies!

Today I have a post all about Sugarpill Cosmetics coming up for you.

Sugarpill aren't so well known here in the UK, but I think that they deserve

a lot of recognition, as they create very beautiful products.

Mainly creating eyeshadows, eye palettes and eyelashes, they have recently

branched out into creating some stunning liquid lipsticks, and some 

gorgeous lipsticks. 

Many people do wonder where you can get hold of it here in the UK, and 

there are a couple of great websites where I have bought my products off;

www.Love-Makeup.co.uk

www.CocktailCosmetics.co.uk

www.cutecosmetics.co.uk

All of these websites are legitimate sellers of Sugarpill here in the UK, and

they have a wide range of their products for reasonable prices too.

Anyway, onto my blog post, I have 4 eyeshadow palettes to show you,

an individual eyeshadow and a liquid lipstick. 

Addicted to Pretty Eyeshadow Palettes-

I own two of these palettes, which both house 4 crazy bright eyeshadows

each,  They're both in identical packaging, with a nice big mirror inside, which

makes it great for travelling with.

L-R - Sweetheart Palette, Burning Heart Palette

Sweetheart Palette,  Top- Bottom  (on arm) Midori, Afterparty, Dollipop, Tako

I love this palette, it's very random, but beautiful and the colour pay-off you get from
each shadow is fabulous. I love to use dollipop and midori in my inner
corners quite often, but I do use all of these shadows pretty often.
They're creamy and easy to blend, and just all round fab.

Burning Heart Palette. Top - Bottom (on arm) Poison Plum, Love +, Flamepoint, Buttercupcake

This one is my favorite out of the two, mainly because of the three 'fire' colours.
I love to create a fire coloured smoky eye sometimes, and this palette makes it so
much easier. Like the other palette,  they're insanely pigmented and creamy
and some of these colours, with such good colour pay-off are pretty hard to come by.

Cold Chemistry Palette-

The Cold Chemistry Palette, is a collection of their darkest and smokiest colours, alongside

the most beautiful sparkly white. It's packaging is very pretty and unique

and houses these shadows perfectly.

Top-Bottom (on arm) Soot & Stars, Subterranean, Elemental Chaos, Diamond Eyes

As you can see, these shadows are just as amazingly pigmented as their other 

shadows, and this is the perfect palette to create the craziest smoky eye with a 

little twist. I love this palette so much, but I need to use it more and venture

into the dark smoky eye looks more often...

Sparkle Baby Palette-

100% my favourite thing I own from Sugarpill is this palette. Just from looking

at the packaging, you can just see it was made for me. 

It's so magical and fairy like and I use it very often, as the shades are just

crazy versatile. You can use Candy Crush as a beautiful highlight, and Kitten 

Parade makes a stunning blush with a likeness to Nars' infamous 'Orgasm' blush.

They are just all so creamy and lovely, and if I had to recommend one thing

from Sugarpill, it would be this palette.

Top- Bottom (on arm) - Hotsy Totsy, Kitten Parade, Frostine, Candy Crush

@#$%! Limited Edition Single Eye-shadow-

@#$%! is a limited edition shadow that they released around a year ago now, and as

soon as I saw it I just knew i needed to have it. You can see from the picture

the absolute beautiful sparkle in it, as well as the intense pigmentation.

It's such a stunning shade and is a firm favourite eye-shadow of mine. 

Kimchi Liquid Lipstick-

I am in LOVE with this lipstick, it was created by Kimchi, a well loved 

Drag Queen,  and is one of only 2 liquid lipsticks they currently sell.

The packaging is so pretty, and very cute - it looks beautiful in my make-up drawers.

Also, the applicator is pretty similar to Jeffree Star's liquid lipsticks, as it is a doe

foot, with a pit inside to hold product, which is definitely my favourite kind of 

applicator. 

It's a gorgeous grey toned violet (ish) colour, with a very subtle hint of shimmer

in there, which looks beautiful. The shade is very unique and unlike many others 

that I have ever seen. It's very easy to wear, and also looks great on

all different skin tones.

So that is my current Sugarpill Cosmetics collection, and much like Jeffree Star, I will

be expanding this collection no doubt, as they're always releasing such amazing

products and I have my eyes firmly on their new line of lipsticks, so watch this space.

Also, a little side note - the palettes are no longer sold as a whole anymore, as you

now have the chance to build your own pro palette using any shade you like, which is

amazing!! All of the shades from the above palettes are available to buy in pans

to put into a pro palette, so don't fear.

Have a beautiful day, and I will see you all very sooon.

Love and Hugs,

Yasmin x 

Jeffree Star is a Star.

Hello my lovelies!

Today I have a little post for you so I can show you my current Jeffree Star

collection. 

I have to say, his make-up brand has really taken me aback and I am seriously

hooked on his products. I mean, to say he is a fully indie brand, they are all

so high quality, and so beautiful. You can just see all of the precious time and

effort he has put into creating them.

My collection is pretty small, and I am gradually expanding it overtime, as

I have a long long list of the products I am dreaming of.

Velour Liquid Lipsticks-

Perhaps his most loved product out of his range, is his amazing line of liquid

lipsticks. Loved by many, they have an incredible formula and despite being

matte ( bar a couple ) they are extremely comfy on the lips, and last a long time.

His range varies from white to black, and from a metallic gold called "Pu$$y Whipped" to 

bright blues. He has definitely created something for everybody in his collection.

For even those who will only wear nudes, he has a wide range of nudes too. 

As from now, I currently own five of his liquid lipsticks - 4 matte ( however Pumpkin

Pie has a slight shimmer ) and 1 of the metallic liquid lipsticks. 

They also have the most beautiful packaging. It's very unique and unlike any

other on the market.

All of the lipsticks ( bar any special collections ) have a pink lid, with rose gold stars on it.

His name is then written on the bottle in rose gold again. They look very sophisticated

and luxurious. The applicator is unique to these lipsticks, as it is sort of doe - footed, but it has 

a sort of pit in the center of it, so that it holds a small amount of product inside, so that it 

makes application quicker and easier.

Top - Bottom - Crocodile Tears (LE), Pumpkin Pie (LE), Posh Spice, Sagittarius (LE)

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is from his Holiday 2016 collection, and it is a very unique and beautiful colour, like no other.
It is a grey toned nudey - brown, which sounds strange, but it all works nicely together to
create the most gorgeous lip colour. It also seemingly goes with every make-up look, and every
outfit and just looks beautiful on. It also has great staying power, as like his other liquid lips.

Posh Spice

Posh Spice is from his permanant line, and is loved by many people as a go to colour.

It is definitely one of my go to shades on a daily basis, as it is just again so easy to match

and to style with other things. This is more of a brown, with a slight hint of nude - which was

definitely the shade everybody went crazy for in 2016 thanks to Kylie Jenner. 

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie was also from his Holiday 2016 colllection, and it is very beautiful.
I'd describe it as an orange-toned red, with a slight gold glitter to it, which is
a gorgeous addition to this already beautiful lipstick. It's a great twist on the classic
red lipstick, and a firm favourite of mine.


Crocodile Tears is again from his Holiday 2016 collection and is a very unique
shade. It's a dark 'holly' green colour, which is definitely not for the faint hearted.
But me being me, and loving bright make-up  - I love this lipstick, and I love wearing it.
I get endless compliments in this shade too.


Next is my only metallic liquid lipstick I own by him ( so far ) and I love this shade so much.



Dreamhouse is a beautiful metallic pink shade, which applies really nice and evenly
and dries to the most beautiful formula. It's so sparkly and metallic, but not sticky or tacky
in the slightest. He has another two shades in this line so far, but I definitely think
he should add lots of colours to this line, as they're beautiful. 

Skin Frosts-





Top - Bottom  Peach Goddess, Lavender Frost, Mint Condition
His skin frosts are essentially his take on a highlight. He has a wide range of shades
which you could never find from any other brands, but as well as his crazy shades,
there are also shades which people who like natural make-up would appreciate.
So far I have 3 of them, and am definitely looking at getting more of them as I
am converted and use them everyday.

The packaging is very sturdy and safe to take out in your bag without worrying too much

about it getting smashed. They also house a mirror in each one and a huge pan. This is another

thing I love about these products is quite how much of it you actually get. It's wonderful.

The classic JS is embossed onto the pan, but obviously rubs off over time.

Lavender Snow is a beautiful highlight shade.  In the pan, it does look a lot different than

on the skin, as it is very lilacy and beautiful on, and looks absolutely lovely. Again, I 

would say that if you're not very daring with makeup, then I don't think this highlight

is the one for you. 

Peach Goddess is an absolutely stunning shade. I wear it more on those days where I want

subtle and not bright make-up. I would definitely recommend it to anybody, as it is pretty, 

It still makes your cheekbones pop, but it doesn't add the extra colour like some of his

other skin frosts.

Mint Condition is definitely my favourite out of the lot, as it is the brightest and most 

daring. I love this to bits, it adds a mint frost to your cheeks and makes you look

so sweet! 

Beauty Killer Palette-

The Beauty Killer Palette is definitely up there with one of my favourite palettes

of all time. I use it every day without fail, and I actually own two of them, just in

case he ever discontinues it. ( if that doesn't tell you how much I love it, then I don't know

what will.) The eyeshadows are so pigmented and creamy, and don't even get me started on

how amazing the colours are. I mean 'star power' exactly matches my bright pink hair at the 

moment. 'Princess' makes an amazing highlight for the cheeks or brow bone. It's just an

all round brilliant palette which I'd recommend to everybody.

L-R- China White, Princess, Courtney, Rich Bitch, Star Power

L-R- Expensive, Violence, Confession, Vanity, Black Rainbow

As you can see, they're all insanely pigmented and just all round fabulous.

Bring on the Androgony palette!!

So, that rounds up my post, and brings it to an end. 

I will definitely be doing other editions of this of different make-up brands,

as well as keeping you updated on my ever growing Jeffree collection! 

I hope that you've enjoyed reading this, and maybe has inspired you to go and 

buy some of his products and show him some love!!

He's an amazing man, go check out his youtube channel too!

Love and Hugs,

hello, again.

I'M BACK!

So after almost a year, I have finally bit the bullet and to try and start my blog

back up again. 

Over the past year or so - so many things have happened. I turned eighteen, 

have added more make-up to my collection and have finally decided on my 

career choice for the future.

Things are looking up for me, I'm happier than I have been in a long time,

and for once I do feel very positive about life. 

I'm hoping to post some of my make-up collection, and some style inspiration

for you guys. Also, I'm wanting to incorporate Disney into my blog too!

 I have so much to share with you, and I cannot wait to begin.

I hope that you're all well,

and I shall see you very soon!

Love and Hugs,

Yasmin x

The 'This or That' Beauty Edition Tag!

Hello again!

So since this is my first proper post and I have no pictures ready

or anything yet (and the daylight has now gone) i've decided to

do a little tag post for you all. It's pretty cliche'd I know, but 

it's all just a lil bit of fun!

MAKEUP...

blush or bronzer?

This is pretty hard for me as I usually tend to wear both of these on

a daily basis. But I think if ever I had to choose just one, I'd choose blush because

then I could pick a dark browny/pink blush and also use that to 

define and shape my cheekbones a lil.

lip gloss or lipstick?

Easily lipstick. I am really not a big lover of lipgloss, as I find it too slippy and

it just moves around too much for my liking. I'm much more suited to a good old

matte lipstick, which I trust to stay put and not end up smeared all over my face

and in my hair.

eye liner or mascara?

As much as I do love a good cat flick, I would have to say I would need mascara.

Without mascara I look odd and almost like my eyes are even smaller than they 

already are. I just find mascara opens up my eyes and fans out my eyelashes

making them look nice and long.

foundation or concealer?

I don't wear foundation on a day-to-day basis, so for me my essential is concealer. 

I have awfully dark circles, which are in desperate need for lots of concealer

to lift my eyes up and make me look less sleepy.

neutral or color eye shadow?

Although I don't wear it half as much as I used to, I'd definetely have to say I prefer

wearing coloured eyeshadow, as I feel there is so much more you can do with

it rather than just sticking to neutrals all of the time. Don't get me wrong, I love my 'naked'

palettes, but I much prefer wearing something bright on the eyes.

pressed or loose eye shadows?

As a very naturally messy person , I really do not get along with loose eyeshadows.

I use them on some occasions, but for me they just make too much mess

and produce far too much fall out under your eyes. Pressed eyeshadows are

just as good, but minus the mess.

brushes or sponges?

Granted, I love my beauty blender, but for me I just much prefer to use a brush. 

Especially for applying eyeshadow as I feel like it gives a much more 'blended' look

rather than it just being spreaded on with a sponge - not a good look.

NAILS...

OPI or china glaze?

I love both of these brands, but in terms of quality and staying power on my 

nails, I would have to say China Glaze. As much as I love OPI's colour ranges 

and packaging, I mostly find that they can chip easily, unlike China Glaze polishes.

Long or short?

I have the ugliest and shortest nails eveeeer due to me biting them constantly. But I 

would dream of having beautiful long nails, which never break and that I can

paint without getting it all over my skin. 

Acrylic or natural?

Since my nails are currently stupidly short, I would say I prefer acrylics

as they can actually give me the long nails I always dreamed of. However,

acrylics also can ruin your natural nails, so if ever I had the will power to grow

out my natural nails. I would certainly steer clear of acrylics.

Brights or darks?

On my nails I tend to wear whichever colour takes my fancy (usually a mixture) so I

find this hard to say. However, I usually do tend to reach for the brighter colours, or 

pastels over darks as I feel they make my nails look a little less grim. 

BODY...

perfume or body splash?

Without a doubt, perfume wins for me. Although I do wear body mists throughout

the day when it's just a quick refresh, but I just think there are much nicer scents

in the world of makeup, and also it lasts a hell of a lot longer.

lotion or body butter?

I find it hard to tell the difference between the two in my honest opinion, however

I am currently loving a Victoria's Secret body butter, so let's just go with that...

body wash or soap?

I've actually never washed my body with a bar of soap so I wouldn't know, but for 

me it just feels more natural and better for your skin to use a body wash as it's less 

harsh and more moisturizing. 

lush or other bath company?

Lush all the way. You'll come to learn over the next few months how much I love

Lush and their amazing products. They have great ethical views too, so I just have a

hell of a lot of love for that company.

FASHION...

jeans or sweat pants?

If i'm lounging around the house or not really leaving to go anywhere, I would prefer

to wear some joggers as they're much comfier than wearing jeans. However if I was 

going out to town, or to do some shopping I would always choose jeans as I class

sweat pants as sports wear or pyjamas. 

long sleeve or short?

Again this depends on the weather and also which one would go best with my 

outfit. In winter I do enjoy wearing long sleeved shirts as they keep me walmer, just 

as short sleeved shirts do in the summer.

dresses or skirts?

I feel like I prefer skirts as you can change them up more, by adding a different top or 

something rather than a dress being the same without really allowing much 

change about (if any of that made any sense...)

stripes or plaid?

I do enjoy wearing stripes a lot at the moment, so I'd choose that. However, 

I do enjoy a nice bit of plaid and tartan in the winter months.

flip flops or sandals?

I don't really get on with flip flops as they always somehow seem to wreck my feet,

so I'll only wear them on holiday. Sandals on the other hand, I do like to wear

and they don't give me any pain. 

scarves or hats?

I'm really not a lover of scarves, and tend to avoid them because I feel like

they just really do not suit me. I really do enjoy wearing hats, but I often

feel scared almost to wear them which often puts me off. I should push myself out of

my comfort zone though, so I can share my love for hats!

studs or dangly earrings?

On some special occasions I would choose dangly earrings, however on a daily basis

I would choose to wear studs as they're much easier to style, but I am a sucker for

some feather earrings.

necklaces or bracelets?

I enjoy wearing them both, however I own a significantly larger amount of 

necklaces to bracelets, and I tend to buy them a lot more too. 

heels or flats?

I do love heels, and wish I could wear them without teetering all over the place,

but for me I find it much easier to just stick to flats or maybe platforms at a push.

topshop or river island?

I am 50/50 on this question as I love the bags in River Island, I think they're amazing

quality and also very unique and lovely. But I personally prefer Topshop's clothing 

collection as it is much more suited to my style (despite being massively out of my budget)

HAIR...

curly or straight?

I always say I hate my naturally curly hair, however whenever I take up the huge

effort to sit and straighten it, I always instantly regret it. I really don't suit straight hair

as it seems to make my face look really long and fat, just not a great look for me. 

bun or ponytail?

I don't often wear my hair up as I find it makes me look like a man, however I 

would rather wear a pony tail because then at least you can see some of my hair rather than just looking practically bald.

hair spray or gel?

Neither! They both make my hair greasy as chuff, as well as making it 

unpleasently crispy and just not very nice.

long or short?

Easily long, I really miss my long hair so for me I'd do anything to have it back.

I feel like there's just so much more to be done with long hair, and so many

styles you can do which you can't do on short hair.

light or dark?

Definately light. I hate my natural hair colour, which is brown. At the moment I 

have to stay this colour in order to heal my hair a little bit after it was 

wrecked from excessive bleaching and dying. However, I think I suit lighter hair 

a lot more, and as I always say - "I should've been born blonde."

side sweep bangs or full bangs?

At the mo I am really loving my full fringe, it makes my huge forehead look smaller.

But occasionally I do enjoy having it swept to the side, but that's a very seldom seen occasion.

up or down?

As I said earlier, it's gotta be down, as I look like a bloke with it in any kind of updo.

RANDOM...

Rain or shine?

I always feel happier when the sun is shining, plus it doesn't ruin your hair and

make-up, so shine is a real winner for me!

Summer or winter?

As much as I love the weather in Summer, a lot more exciting things happen for me

in Winter, as there's my Birthday and Christmas, which is super duper exciting.

Fall or spring?

I love the colour of the trees in Autumn, however all of the baby animals which

are brought into the world in Spring make that the better season, just because

baby animals are better than anything else on this worllllddddd.

So there you have my last blog post of today - I quite enjoyed doing that tag however 

I am super excited to get back in with my beauty and lifestyle posts!

I hope you've all had a lovely day and have a lovely weekend coming up

and I shall see you all very sooooon....

Love and Hugs,

New Beginnings

Hello to you lovely individual reading this post! 

My name is Yasmin and I'm currently 17 years old. 

You may know me from my old and now retired blog 

'Lipsticks and Candlesticks' which i ran on and off for around

2 years. The time has come for new beginnings, not only with my blog,

but also with my life in general. There are a lot of changes to be made

and new adventures to take on, but I won't bore you with those details.

Anyway, here is my new blog.

The aspect of having something new and a new 'project' to take on is pretty

exciting for me. I hope that this blog can help me grow and to hopefully 

learn new things as well as pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

If you, like myself enjoy all things beauty, fashion and disney - then my 

blog is one for you to keep tabs on and follow. 

Keep your eyes peeled, because there will be plenty more coming soon...

Love and Hugs,

Yasmin x
