Make Up by One Direction - Take Me Home Collection Review

Hi everyone!

So I finally had a second to sit down and look over the Take Me Home Collection by One Direction. If you want to see what all of the sets look like then click here to see my blog post over-viewing it. 

So let's first take a look at the overall packaging
The overall package


A quick look inside
 So the packaging is pretty cute. The tin is quite bulky, so it isn't exactly travel friendly but it certainly would make a cool collector's piece. Now let's get more into the make up.
Eye shadow palette

A quick look at the colours
 So the palette in this tin is described as the perfect nudes. They provide you with 3 different textures and finishes - matte, satin, and glitter. I would definitely recommend wearing an eye primer with these shadows as the pigment isn't the greatest - but they still are nice shades.

Let's get into the lip colours

'Last First Kiss' a sheer pink nude


This colour is definitely a nice summer-y pink. It is quite sheer so I would describe it as more of a lip tint rather than a full blown lipstick. Now onto the lip gloss (the piece I'm most stoked about).

Liqui-lights glow gloss
This gloss is SO cool! It turns neon yellow under UV lights and would certainly be an awesome piece if you were going to a cool night club (or even for halloween!).

'Live While We're Young' Glitter polish
This polish has amazing pigment. I'm not a huge fan of glitter polishes in the summer just because I like to change up my polish quite frequently and glitter is a pain to take off. However, I'll be putting this guy to good use come the winter.

Next is the mascara



 As you can see, it is pretty generic. I am really picky about mascaras because I have really sensitive eyes so I'm going to pass on this. But the formula is nice and wet and the brush appears to not cause any clumping. (Sorry for pooping on the party, but my eyes seriously aren't happy pandas with like 99% of the mascaras out there).

And last but certainly not least, the shadow pencil in "I wish" (chocolate brown)



 This guy is cool because you can draw on your face and body with it. I haven't experimented with it much lately but it has a very creamy and blend-able texture so hurrah!

And let's just throw in a really ridiculous selfie of me sans make up because I took it, it uploaded with the photos, and why not...

Duck face FTW *face palm*
