Viva View: Fashionista Eyeshadow Pallette

I apologise for using generic Superdrug images, my camera won't upload onto my laptop. Hopefully I will replace these images in the next few days.

Hello and welcome to the very first Viva View blog. Viva View is simply just my way of saying "reviews" - so anytime you see a blog entitled this, expect a review of a new and exciting product. I will always be 100% honest in my reviews, however you will of course see that the majority of these will be positive. This is because I do a lot of my own research before purchasing a product. I hope you enjoy!

So, what is Fashionista?


Fashionista is a makeup range that was released at larger Superdrug stores in around October 2011. I stress that it is only found in large superdrugs; I have yet to find one, instead buying all my products online. But for me, it's definitely worth it! I have only purchased 3 products as yet, but I will definitely be buying more very shortly - if you look to the right, ->, you'll see my wishlist, which feature several items from the fashionista range!

The three items I own are;


- Fashionista Custom Palette in Red

- Fashionista Mono Eyeshadow in Berry Brown

- Fashionista Mono Eyeshadow in Nude Glimmer

But still, what is this rage all about? Basically, this range focuses on custom palettes. You buy your palette (£5, and available in either red or black), which holds up to four eyeshadows or blushers. You then can buy as may of the eyeshadows and blushers as you would like, as they come in individual pots, or can be taken out and put into a palette. There are a total of 42 eyeshadows and blushers available throughout the year, and an additional seven which change with the season trends. All of the colours have a slight glimmer to them, without being tacky or over-the-top. They're also extremely pigmented, and blend well. Did I mention that their only £4 each? Superdrug also often has either a 3 for 2 offer, or a 4 for 3 offer on, so you can get them for even cheaper most of the time!

My picks:
- Steel
- Envy
- Double Take Baked in Radiant
- Double Take Baked in Globe
- Embellished

So, whether you're new to makeup, or have a huge drawer full, this will be the perfect addition to your collection. With shades from baby pinks to jet black, everybody will find something wearable and gorgeous!

Stay beautiful girls,
