Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL Red Passion Review!

Hey Dolls,
This is my first post in ages because I have been working on the HTML coding of my blog *yawn*. Anyway, as you can probably tell from my older posts I LOVE having red hair! I'm at my most confident with my hair red, I have no idea why...but I am. I have used every brand of semi-permanent dye going and decided I was a bit tired of looking like an axe murder victim every time it rained. And so I decided to try the Live Colour XXL permanent dye in shade 43: Red Passion.

Hey Dolls,

So today I am very happy to be reviewing this gorgeous liquid foundation. Part of their Skin Forever range!

Eyeliner Types And Tips

Hey Dolls,
So I get a LOT of eyeliner questions. (Seriously it's insane) So I decided to write about the different types of liners, how best to use them and which one I feel is superior.

Makeup Is FAKE!

Hey Dolls,
This is pretty much a rant but there is a point behind it! One thing I get EVERY DAMN DAY is:
"Why do you wear makeup?! It's fake!" And to be honest...it's starting to piss me off.

Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge Review.

Katy Perry Killer Queen Fragrance Review!

Today I am reviewing the BRAND NEW third fragrance from Katy Perry titled Killer Queen! Read the full review below!

Rimmel 9-In-1 BB Cream Review

He my beautiful Dolls,
So I recently bought my first BB cream (took me long enough, right?) and I thought I'd share my experiences with you. I chose the Rimmel London 9-In-1 BB cream in Light, which costs around £6.99 and can be bought from most drugstores or online. However, while I like the product itself I do have some issues with it.

This is what it says on the back of the bottle:
"It's a skin perfecting super makeup! 9 In 1 results: Primes, Moisturises, Minimises Pores, Conceals, Covers, Smoothes, Mattifies, Brightens and helps Protect"

Sounds great right? Well what they're basically doing is saying the same thing...with a slightly different word each time... "Primes, minimizes pores, smooths" and "conceals, covers" are all the same thing! Just with slightly different wording.. so technically it is a 3 in one product. (Just saying)

It has a SPF factor, (SPF 25) which I love for day to day wear but loath for photographing (it gives a lovely corpse like look to your face in photos)

The packaging is nice enough I suppose, it does feel a bit cheap however and the tube can cause product wastage. You get 30ml of product which is about the average for any foundation. There is a very poor shade range...actually it's less of a range...more a couple...as in 2. Light and Medium. That's it. So sorry dark skinned beauties but this isn't a product for you. I'm baffled by the appealing lack of shades...I get that it's a BB cream but surely there should be Light, Medium and DARK?! 

It has a very thick, whipped texture to it. Like a watered down version of the +Maybelline UK  Dream Matte Mouse foundation. It is a light coverage so it is certainly not like the insanity of the true Asian Beauty Balms which can cover anything then cover a bit more. It also smells a bit like a cheap sunscreen I once used so that doesn't thrill me either. It's the sort of smell which tickles your nose. 

Partially Blended

Fully Blended.

It applies beautifully however, and I do like to apply it with the fingers (which is rare for me in makeup.). The coverage isn't awe inspiring but it is descent I suppose. My issue with this is...it is basically a glorified tinted moisturizer. NOT a BB cream. The Asian Beauty Balms would eat this as a snack. I'm actually quite annoyed with the 'claims' of this product..you may as well buy Nivea's tinted moisturizer because you'd get the same coverage and an SPF factor AND a nicer smell... 

Wearing JUST the Rimmel BB Cream.

Because of all of this I'm going to have to give it a low rating. I will be interested to try some more BB Creams soon though! 

Until next time! xoxo

MAC Select Moisturecover Review!

Hey Dolls,
Today I am reviewing my trusty MAC concealer, their brilliant Select Moisturecover. It cost's £15 and can be bought from MAC's website (HERE). I bought NC20 which seems a pretty good match for me. You get 5ml of product in a sleek looking tube with a lipgloss style aplicator.

I do like the packaging a lot. It is certainly shatter proof plastic as mine has been dropped many a time. It's very small, however it really does the job. 

It has a cute applicator that is very soft and PERFECT for dotting the concealer under they eyes or anywhere else that needs concealing. It can also be used as a highlighter too which I LOVE. It is a medium coverage concealer, it's great for under the eyes or adding an extra bit of coverage but it isn't heavy duty. 

However for those "Oh my god I look like a half dead thing!" mornings, over foundation this will brighten your eyes nicely! 

MAC's online swatches aren't brilliant...it looked almost grey on their website. I was concerned I'd end up with skin the colour of a dead fish. However luckily for me it is a perfect match! But if you can get colour matched and save the hassle of MAC's swatches. 

Partially Blended

Fully Blended

It is a lovely creamy consistency that blends like a dream. You can also build the coverage without it looking cakey. If I need full on camouflaging "hide everything" concealer, I'll always dig out my Illamasqua one. But for under the eyes and dark circles this is AMAZING! It works amazingly with MAC's Studio Sculpt too as they have a similar gel texture. 

For a under eye concealer this is, in my humble opinion, BRILLIANT!

I'll defiantly repurchase. So because of that it gets a 5 star rating.

New Years Day Victim To Villain Reviw

Hey Dolls,
I know this was originally only a beauty blog but I have since decided to include Fashion, Music & Film on my blog as well. Today I am reviewing an album by a band I have a lot of respect for, the female fronted rock band New Years Day.

I have a lot of respect for them for two reasons, one they are original and in my opinion very talented, (this band have been around for awhile they aren't ripping off anyone, it is, quite the opposite actually) and two, during the hellish ordeal they suffered when touring with the scene band Blood On The Dance Floor I really respect the level of professionalism shown by Ashley and the band.

They have recently released their second album titled Victim To Villain, which has a concept I can strongly relate to, but more on that later. It is their second full length album, but as even the band have said, it feels like their first. This album is pure New Years Day. No outside influences it is completely them.

The first thing I have to commend front woman Ashley Costello on is the sincerity of her vocals. She can go from "I will kill you in your sleep" to the most soulful voice I have heard in a long long time. One line on the track Hello Darkness is so sorrowfully delivered it almost gets me in tears "I've always known that I'm alone, Hello Darkness I am home."

My only complaint with this incredible album is that it;s a bit...well...short. I have bought singles with a longer running time than this album which clocks in at 34:41. But it is short and VERY sweet (with a twist of spite and vindictiveness obviously ;) )

1: Do Your Worst: "You've got a nasty little side of you that's new to me" Ash rasps as the opener of the album. This is an amazing track and a great start to the album. It is very fun and like everything NYD do it is very Halloweeny. 

2: I'm No Good: Sweet mother of holy pop punk. This is a very fun track. It is almost dancy. I really cant get enough of this. 

3: Bloody Mary: There seem to be a lot of tracks with this name recently. But anyway, this song is about other bands copying NYD's style. "She screams her voice away so she stole mine. Spoke my words but they didn't taste right. It's imitation but I'm not flattered. And she'll never matter in anyone's eyes" This is a very very good track, in fact it is one of the album standouts! 

4: Victims: This track is a much more emo vibe, but it doesn't loose the sense of fun. It still makes you want to dance. Something not many other rock bands do. It is not my favorite but it is FAR from poor.

5: Hello Darkness: This track starts so softly and I don't think I have ever heard Ashley's voice be as beautiful as it is at the beginning of this track. It is so heart felt. It is incredible. I love it. The emotion in Ash's vocals is unbelievable I really can't recommend it enough. I first thought this track to be about a failing relationship but now realize it is about suicidal thoughts and the darkness in everyday life. 

6: Death Of The Party: "We are the death of the party" Y'know when you hear a song and think "this was meant to be sung live and screamed by fans" well this is definitely one of those songs. It's so catchy! It's also got quite a positive message to it so I really dig this track.

7: The Arsonist: I love the opener to this track, it is so atmospheric and again BEAUTIFUL soft vocals from Ash. "How does it feel to take a life away?" I really love this track. It has a nice mix of soft and heavy rock. 

8: Angel Eyes (ft Chris Motionless of MIW): OH. MY. GOD. This track is like a drug. It is hard hitting and addictive. It is amazing! I love how well both Ash's and Chris's vocals work together and the video (at the bottom of the page) is amazing.  One of the albums best tracks definitely.

9: Any Last Words? This is such a good song! It is very good fun and it makes murder seem weirdly dancy! It is just such a fun track! Perfect for Halloween!

10: Tombstone:  I really REALLY wish this track was longer. Although if it was half an hour long it would still be too short. Ashley Costello has an amazing voice and this track SHOWS IT! It is so Gothic and so beautiful. "Rest In Peace, rest with me" It is waltzing and eerie and I just can't rave about the vocals enough! It is such a beautiful track. Definitely one of the best on the album in terms of vocals and music.

11: Last Great Love Story: " So take my hand, take my love, take my life. We'll dance with the ghosts, with the souls of the night" The close to the album is definitley a belter of a track. Not the albums best but on any other pop/rock album it'd be a standout. 

I really love this album and NYD themselves, they seem like lovely grounded people passionate about music. So without question this album gets a 5 star rating!

Barry M Red Wine Review

Hey Dolls,
This is the second Barry M Nail Paint I bought a few days ago and I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOVE IT!!
I genuinely think this is one of the nicest red nail polishes I own. It is a gorgeous blood red with such a striking shine!

I picked this gorgeous gem up for £2.99 from my local Superdrug store and I fell in love with it instantly! It applies like a thin gel and sets so beautifully. It dries glossier than when it's wet! (:O) I'm not the biggest fan of the brushes Barry M puts on their nail paints. I find they "fan" a bit too much and get nail polish where I don't want it. But this is easily rectified by a cotton bud (q-tip) dipped in nail polish remover swiped around the edge of the nail. 

Artificial Light.

Natural light. (I have ridiculously steady hands and am amazing with applying nail varnishes but Barry M's brush doesn't make it easy!

Aside from the dodgy brush I really do adore the formula and the colour. It is opaque in two coats, doesn't need a top coat and LASTS. I don't get chips until around the 6 day mark. 


What's your favorite Barry M colour?

Barry M Black Nail Paint Review

Hey Dolls,
This is my first nail varnish review and before I start I should say I love Barry M, they are some of the most amazing nail colours you can buy! Now as my blog is called Mr GOTH(inista) it should be pretty obvious that I'm a fan of black nail lacquers, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw a gorgeous oily black for £2.99!!

I applied it late at night and after two coats I was happy that I had a GORGEOUS 

outrageously glossy black. However in the morning light I was horrified to see that it was still sheer in places! I was genuinely shocked! So I applied a thin third coat and was greeted with pure, black as sin, glossy as an oil spill nails. It does look fabulous! However I am annoyed it needs 3 coats to be fully opaque. You can do it in two...but be prepared to have inch thick nails.

Excuse the bad paint job....*note to self* "Don't paint nails at 1am!"

I really like, even love the colour and it is a hell of a lot cheaper than Illamasquas black polishes but the fact that I have to do 3 coats is slightly annoying. However there is a major plus! You will not need a top coat with this nail paint. Because it is GLOSSY! Full on gloss. There really is no way that a nail polish could be any glossier than this, it is gorgeous!

If you can forgive it's weaker pigmentation I really can't rave about it enough for £2.99! It's definitely a good buy! (I've had nail lacquers from MAC go on shearer!)

Illamasqua Cream Foundation Review

Hey Dolls,
Sorry for my lack of posting, there has been a death in my family (RIP Grandma) and I have been unwell. However I am now back to regular posting (YAY!).

Today I am reviewing Illamasqua's Cream foundation in two shades, shade CF110 and shade CF120. I got these from the Illamasqua counter in Birmingham last winter as I needed something full coverage that I could touch up on the go. I paid £23 each for these foundations and I have to say, money well spend. This is how Illamasqua describes them.

"Create a base that brings out the bold in you. Illamasqua Cream Foundation provides medium-full coverage and works with your skin to cover and enhance. It blends easily, allowing you to vary coverage as much or as little as you need, effortlessly balancing uneven skin tone and giving you the control to create a flawless finish. Comes in a mirror compact for touch-ups on the go."

The packaging is standard Illamasqua, sleek and gothic.

It certainly delivers on coverage, it's a high medium to full coverage. You get a sponge to apply it with which is nice, but i do prefer a brush. Either my MAC stippling brush or a liquid foundation brush. One of my favorite things about this product is that it has powder in it so no need to powder it. It also has a great mirror in the top as well.

CF120

CF110

Both of these match me perfectly in different seasons, scarily CF110 is my PERFECT match in the winter and CF120 is amazing for me in the other seasons. Both are for pale skin (CF110 may be better suited for vampires. It's pure pinky white!) and both have pink undertones. They are very true to the Illamasqua swatches but if you can get colour matched do! If not the Illamasqua swatches are pretty damn good.

CF110 swatched on my hand. Blended and unblended 

It lasts quite well but does sweat off easily in the summer, I'd defiantly say it's an autumn and winter foundation! It has a gorgeous vanilla sent to it and what's even better is it hasn't agitated even the ridiculously sensitive skin of my mother. It is not an artificial sent.

The gorgeous sponge supplied with each.

I really do like this foundation. It's not in the same league as their Rich Liquid foundation but I still love it. It also makes an amazing concealer too!

I hope you've enjoyed this review and I am pleased to be back posting regularly.  I'd love to thank my readers/followers for their lovely words in this hard time. Many thanks! 

Until next time! xoxo
