BornPrettyStore Haul

Today I'm bringing you all a little haul, which is a bit different from usual. It's a haul of little makeup related bits from BornPrettyStore and they are all little bits that I've been wanting to try out, so keep reading to see all about the things I got. 

So the first thing I opened was the concealer/corrector palette which actually came with the makeup sponge and the smaller angled face brush, which are both great quality too, you can find it here along with the other two items. The palette itself isn't as great quality as my similar drugstore ones like a makeup revolution contour palette I purchased a few weeks ago (even through that is powder and this is a cream palette) i find they aren't as pigmented as I would have hoped but this is one of the only items from BornPrettyStore that I'm dissapointed with (not including other two items) I found the only shade I would be able to contour using is the darkest one right in the bottom right hand corner as the other shades just blend out into nothing on my skin tone!

On the other hand my other two items that came with this I am super impressed with the makeup sponge works just like my other beauty blender dupes from real techniques and on it's own this would probably be amazingly cheap so if that's what your looking for look on their website and have a browse! 

The other product was the little face brush which is slightly angled this works really nicely with my powder highlighters I have found, and the brushes bristles are so soft too. I am very impressed with the sponge and this brush so the only downside is the palette you can see below.

The set of eyelashes I got to test out and also try on my mum as I thought it would be fun the learn and try them out as they were so cheap and looked good quality too. I have yet to use them so cannot really give my opinions but for the price I think I will be impressed as they work out to be under £2 for the whole pack! I just need to buy some eye lash glue which will hold them in place! You can find them here.

So this is an overview of the palette I assumed it would be pigmented and the colour payoff would be good but it isn't one I would recommend and I wish it was as it looked so good online, I'm sure there would be plenty of palette like this though that would do a better job of concealing/contouring.

So this is my last product to give you my opinions on which is the brush on the left. (the other was the one I previously talked about) So It is a flat face brush -looks like a paint brush, I know, but I thought it looked like the new real techniques brush which is like this but used for contouring. Now I LOVE a bit of bronzer and I definitely love to contour too so having this brush seemed like the perfect addition to my collection so I went for it and I love it! It gives a very precise line but then I use another brush to blend it is so it doesn't look harsh on the skin and I am so happy with this and this is probably the one I am most pleased with as it just works perfectly!

Topshop Lipstick Dupes With BornPrettyStore

So recently, I've been loving my Topshop lipstick on the left (the purple colour) as the weather is getting my autumn/wintery I'm loving the vampy lip colours, and I love this one which is in the colour 'The Damned' it is a lovely dark purple colour in the bullet and can be built up to that colour, I am loving the Topshop makeup at the moment, I also have a blush from them which is really nice too although it's more of a Summery shade I won't wear it much now, I'm all about the bronzer in Winter! haha now back to the lipsticks! 

So BornPrettyStore recently contacted me asking if I wanted to try a couple of things from their website, and I chose the lipstick on the right hand side and the lip crayon which is in the mint green packaging. Now I thought the packaging looked a lot like the Topshop lipsticks and I thought the 'TheHotShop' and 'LipHop' Sounded a lot like they were very similar to 'Topshop' so they might be dupes of the Topshop one and so I decided to give them a go. I chose both of the colours from the website and I will link the exact products I have received below and they look exactly the same as the ones I chose I will have swatches of them all together so I can show you the similarities, and the pigmentation of the lipsticks are like the same they look like they are just the same in different colours.

So the colour of the lipstick I received is the colour 'Not with a Cup of Lipstick'* which I love the name and it's also the number '03' and I have the link here if anyone is interested, now the colour as you can see by the photo it is a gorgeous bright pinky colour, now this colour I wanted to get as it's a bit out of my comfort zone and I haven't got a colour lipstick like this one! So far I love it and the pigmentation is great. 

The next one is the colour '12'* in the mint green packaging but sadly it doesn't have another name, unlike the other lipstick but I love this packaging so much and this one looks so alike to the ones I see in Topshop but they are in a white packaging I think and the writing is almost identical to my purple Topshop lipstick in the photo above. I was so drawn to this colour because it looks quite toned down but a lovely light berry pink shade for the autumnal months ahead. I knew I wanted a colour like this, for the upcoming colder months so when I saw this one on the website I was very happy, it looks so gorgeous on the lips! And has to to be my favourite of the two! You can find it here

If you'd like to try any products from BornPrettyStore I have a discount you may like to use, it is JVBH10 if you use it you'll receive 10% off your order, but you can also shop the code by clicking on the code in the discount's section of the right side of my blog.

So here are the lipsticks all together but the BornPrettyStore ones are the two on the right hand side, so the left lipstick as I mentioned earlier is the Topshop on in 'The Damned' and wasn't purchased from BornPrettyStore.  As you can see the pigmentation of all of them is amazing and they look like there from the same exact brand.

I hope you all enjoyed reading about these Topshop dupes and Thank you to BornPrettyStore for letting me try these lipsticks I am very grateful for them and hope this has helped someone who want's a cheaper alternative to Topshop lipsticks! And although I was sent these lipsticks all opinions are my own!
