Victoria's Secret Duo Eyeshadow Review

While I was on holidays (more about that trip another time) I picked up this Victoria's Secret duo eyeshadow in the shade Undiscover. It was a bit of a last minute purchase,I've been looking for a nice gold eyeshadow for a while and when I saw this I just thought "close enough!"
I'd heard good reviews of Victoria's Secret make up before and for only $15 I was happy to give it a go. Having used it for a few months now I'm quite happy I bought it. I've been struggling to find a gold eyeshadow I like,this does have a slightly yellowy tint to it but it blends nicely with the rust/coppery colour. I used the lighter yellowy/gold shade across my entire lid,then used the coppery colour in the socket.


I also recently wore it on a trip out to the pub and this is how it photographed on a night out.


Like I do with most duo eyeshadows, I've worked my way through one colour much much quicker than the other, so pretty soon my duo gold and copper eyeshadow will be a solo copper eyeshadow.While I do like this eyeshadow a lot and I would purchase it again if I were near a Victoria's Secret store, I do have one complaint, while applying this eyeshadow the amount of fall out on to the rest of my face is ridiculous.It really is an "eye makeup first" type of product , you will have to clean up your face after you've got it on.

Overall though, I like it and I would try more of their products,I just need to get back to the US...I'd best go play the lotto!

A little update..

Clearly,  as is obvious by the severe lack of posts over the past few months, I have been the worst blogger ever. However, I hope to change that and to get back to posting regularly. So what have I been up to while I've not been blogging? Um..well I've been on holiday, fun times! Just last week I joined the gym (God loves a trier) , and this week I am thrown in bed with an extremely sore throat and am currently coughing up a lung. I'm trying not to take this as a sign that my body doesn't want to exercise.

Anyway, going forward I have a few goals:

1. Blog more.
2.Get over this sickness.
3.Go to the gym regularly.
4. Eat healthily.
5.Get an immune system.

I'm thinking goals no#3 & no#4 could lead to goal no#5

That's all for now,but hopefully you will all see another blog from me very soon!
