I am a complete sucker when it comes to cheap makeup. I have 2 rules though - 1. it has to be good quality, and 2. it can't be tested on animals. I was absolutley thrilled when I found Beauty UK eye shadow products because they ticked all the boxes for me! FIRST THOUGHTS My first thoughts on the Beauty UK display when I entered Superdrug was that i was a bit put off by it. The stand itself looks very cheaply made and quite unprofessional. It looked like the shop had just stuck it on a random black shelf in the corner of the shop. Of course I walked straight past it when I went makeup shopping, just because I didn't think it was going to be very good. It ...  Read the complete review

I first found these palettes in Superdrug and for a while that seemed to be the only place that sold them, but I have recently seen them in the jewellery/accessories shop Diamonds and Pearls. They cost £3.49 and there are five different palettes, although the fifth is not always easy to find. The palettes are small with a black base and a clear lid. They have a narrow mirror inside and come with a sponge applicator. No.1 contains pale, pastel colours, as well as some more neutral shades. No.2 is the brightest, most colourful palette with some very dramatic colours. No.3 is a darkish palette, which also contains some neutral colours. No.4 is the most ...  Read the complete review

A great bargain find with lovely colours in the palettes and good quality cosmetics! The Company ----------------- 'beautyuk' is not exactly a well known company in comparison to other cheaper end of the scale brands such as Rimmel, or Collection 2000. However, they do have a website www.beautyuk.info which you cannot buy the products from but it shoes you their rather extensive range, the prices and lets you see the products close up to inspect colours etc. beautyuk claims to be 'committed to consumer safety and product quality, and against testing on animals', which is never a bad thing! They also pride themselves on keeping up to fashion with ...  Read the complete review

I first spotted this palette in Superdrug when I was buying myself the Eyeko cream I recently reviewed. At under £3 for ten colours I thought it would be about as much use as a chocolate teapot. They only had one of the palettes in my local store, the one shown at the top of this review, #1, which are pastel colours - not my normal kind of colour but I really liked the greens in it and for the price I knew if I wasn't impressed I could pass it on to my other half's neice without crying about the cost. What It Looks Like: It's a basic rectangular palette with a see through lid, each colour is between a 5p and 10p coin in size, and ...  Read the complete review

I stumbled upon this cute little eye shadow compact when organising a fashion show for the youth club i run. We were trying to get everything done as cheaply as possible (in the spirit of make and do) and that included hair and beauty for the models. As such I found myself wandering round boots, attempting to find an eye shadow compact that offered as many different, bright colours as possible for as little money as i could get away with. Beauty UK is not a make I have ever come into contact with in the past - it is certainly not a well known brand. But as soon as my eyes fell upon their eye shadow pallette I knew it was just perfect for the young models ...  Read the complete review
