Models Own review!



Hey guys! this week I thought I would tell you a little bit about a beauty brand I have recently come across. I have known about models own for a good couple of years but for some reason I have never tried them out. So recently I have become a little bit obsessed with nails and nail varnish so on my trip to Meadowhall in  I was prepared to go into boots and spend a load on nail varnish but before I got anywhere near I noticed this:





It's a stall that sells practically every models own product, it was amazing! Not only did they have a load of nail varnishes, makeup and brushes they had a brilliant offer on as well. I got six items for £20 (34.14 us dollars for you Americans) and I was very impressed, usually the nail varnishes are a fiver a piece! So what I thought I would do is do a review for each of the times and show you some pictures (I have no picture of the eyeliner because I can't do eyeliner properly, I end up looking like a pirate or something!)




Also don't forget to tell me what your favourite  products are in the comments!


Lipstick:


I love this item. It was originally meant to be my mums but when we got home and she tried it on it was a bit too pink for her liking so she decided to give it to me. I tried it on and instantly loved it. Usually I'm not one for putting things on my lips because half of the time I have an urge to wipe it off my lips but this actually felt nice on. The colour lasted for ages and it just needed the occasional touch up. I would definitely recommend this item! Another unique thing about it is that it comes like those perfume sticks that you twist up? I much prefer that shape to proper lipstick. If you want to try this colour out it's the Models own Lip Stix in the shade beauty blush.It is £5 (8.45 US dollars) per stick so I think it is well worth the money. 








Lip Gloss: 
This has got to be my favourite thing out of everything that I got from the stand. It is a lovely pinky colour that is more gloss than colour so you can just put some on when you want a bit of something on your lips but nothing too much. The best thing about this is that it has a really nice scent. When you rub your lips together you get a really nice, scent/taste (like when you have flavoured lip balm) and it's just so nice! I think it's a rose scent because the lip gloss is called Madame Rose and it is so nice! It also feels nice on, it's not too sticky and just genuinely feels nice. I would also recommended adding some of this to the lip stix to give it a bit of shine and extra  colour. This also costs £5 (8.45 US dollars) and I think it is a great price. It also looks really nice, I especially love the lid. 




Glitter nails:
I bought two of these Mirrorballs and they are amazing. I got two, freak out (the blue lid) and boogie nights. (purple lid) I looked at them and I liked how they looked and I have recently been using some cheap glitter nail varnish and they looked a lot better quality and looked a lot more glittery so I thought I would give it a go. I was glad that I did because I used them to paint my nails when I was going out with family and I got a  few compliments on them. With this you can either use a colour base coat or go for just the glitter on it's own. I tried it with just the glitter the first time I tried it and it looked brilliant. I put on a layer let it dry and then added another, making sure to get plenty of glitter on there. I also mixed both colours and I was incredibly happy with the result, it was just right. Not to much and not too little. These are £5 (8.45 US dollars) each and I think they are well worth it, it's good quality and it adds a bit of sparkle to your nails. If you were to buy this I would recommend  waiting until it's completely dry and use thin layers because it does go tacky if you use to much but apart from that it would be worth it.
 

Sticky Fingers
This was one of the three nail varnishes that I bought and I think it's a really nice idea. You get a nail varnish and depending on what colour nail varnish you get you get a set of nail stickers to go with it. I chose sticky fingers bows. It's a pale pink nail varnish with lots of little bow stickers and I think it's a really fun way to spice up your nails and they also look really cute. They cost £6 (10.25 US dollars) and I think that's well worth it because you get the nail varnish and the stickers. The nail varnish is also a good quality but I would say do two thin layers and make sure each nail is dry before you add on the stickers.



Eye Liner:
I liked this one especially since it was a free gift we got given. Me, my mum and my mama got one each. I love eyeliner and would love to wear it more but I fail miserably at it, I end up looking like a clown or something when I attempt to do it. I did sort of apply it right but it was still not good enough for a picture. I really liked it, I thought it gave a good cover and went on quite easily. I don't really have any knowledge on what a good eyeliner or not so I can't really recommended it but the proper version of this would be £4 (6.83 US dollars) and if you buy the actual one  it has a smudge tool on top as well as a genius sharpener so I would say it is good value for money. 

 I hope you enjoyed this! Don't forget to comment what your favourite product is. If you haven't used anything models own just say what your favourite nail varnish is! Also feel free to leave me some recommendations! 

Hope you enjoy,
