Single tip for buying from Wish
My tip is for buying makeup brushes. I’ve had a couple cheap, cute and fairly functional sets from Wish though I’ve noticed a lot of people complaining they’ve only received one brush when they ordered a set. Here’s my main tip for buying brush sets from Wish; if the product doesn’t have a size selection (4 pack, 8 pack/ set 1, set 2, etc.) don’t buy it. Whether it’s advertised as a set or not means nothing. Wish product titles are basically search tag words so that their product comes up when you search, for example, brush set. Finding the products with size/set/quantity options usually will give you more than one brush.
Another thing to note is if the product says 20 brushes for $1/£1 they’re either going to be cheap as hell and half sized or you’re going to get one random brush from the set you’re looking at. Wish is an absolutely fine app to order from and I buy a fair amount of cheap tools and household stuff from there. It’s just knowing how to work through it and get to the actual fair products.

I found these by chance when trying to find out how much you had to spend to get free shipping on Tam Beauty.
Tam Beauty Delivery
Tam Beauty, which has recently changed it’s website to ‘Revolution Beauty’, is a website specialising in one brand and it’s sister brands. The main brand is Makeup Revolution London and it’s sister brands are Freedom Professional London and I ♡ Makeup. The brands are all relatively affordable and, in my experience, good quality for the price.You will only find these brands in Superdrug on the high street though they are available from a few places online.
I’ve ordered these brands before from Superdrug online, however, this was my first experience ordering direct from Tam Beauty as the items I was after were out of stock on Superdrug.
Tam Beauty seems to ship worldwide but as a UK based company shipping times may vary. For me shipping was around 1-2 weeks so pretty fast in my opinion. You get a verification e-mail when your order is confirmed and another when your order is ready to be shipped. Once shipped you receive a tracking code to follow your order so it seems very well organised.
Originally I was at work the first time they tried to deliver, however I received an e-mail letting me know delivery had been attempted and I was able to reschedule delivery for a day I was at home. It was very simple to do and handy that I didn’t have to go pick up my order. The package itself was very secure when opened, my items had been actually shrink wrapped to the bottom of the box meaning they didn’t shift at all in transit preventing any damage. With Tam Beauty I did have to pay a delivery fee, however, if your order is over £35 delivery is free (at least the the UK, I’m unsure about other countries).
All in all a good experience with Tam Beauty, 10/10 would recommend.

Expensive Brushes?
I’ve never bothered with expensive brushes. You don’t have to pay a lot for a decent brush. The brushes I use are from a mixture or Wish, Amazon, Primark and ebay. The brushes I have are all soft, they don’t shed hairs/fibres and they all do the job they’re intended for well. The rose gold and pink brushes displayed above are my most recent brush purchase from Amazon. They arrived quickly and blend my make up well. The bristles are soft and don’t stab into your eye and these were extremely cheap.
Brush set one - £2.54
Eye shadow blending brushes - £0.29
I know a lot of youtubers will push and push and push Morphe brushes but I’ve never seen the point in paying £5 for one brush when I can get a full set for less than that. It really isn’t about price, it’s about quality. I’m not going to lie and say every makeup brush set I’ve ever purchased online is amazing, the first set I got years ago was, to be blunt, shit. However, you can find decent brushes for very affordable prices online. My favourite set as far as blending and feel is probably the mermaid set I got from Wish. They were ‘free’ which means you just pay shipping. Sadly I can’t give an exact price on the shipping as the prices on Wish do fluctuate however I will still link the set currently priced at £6 +shipping.
Mermaid brushes - price fluctuates
Superdrug delivery
Most people have a Superdrug near by in the UK. However, if you’re like me then the one near you is tiny and doesn’t stock much in the way of make up. If I want to go to a larger shop it’s an hour on the train or over an hour on the bus to get to the nearest city. If you live in a city than delivery is probably only an option if your nearest store is out of stock of the specific item you want.
I’d have to say, though, that Superdrug delivery is exceptional, at least in my experience. Each item comes individually wrapped in bubble wrap and is boxed nicely. Sometimes you even get a little surprise, my last order I received a free sample of Ghost perfume. I’ve never had an issue with a broken or damaged product and delivery is usually fast. I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait more than a week for my delivery. You also get sent a tracking link in your confirmation e-mail so you know where your package is at all times.
I would recommend Superdrug delivery to anyone who wants to order online from them. It’s free delivery and every item is well looked after. 10/10 would shop again.

Here I am~
Hello there, call me Jammy. I’m very late to the makeup scene. I’m in my 20′s, female and just started getting into makeup. Due to my age and my line of work (retail) I’m more interested in finding good quality products at an affordable price. I created this blog to share my findings whether they are hits or misses. I’ll be providing links to each product I review and I wont just review makeup. I’ll also review brushes and skincare should I purchase any. Obviously this blog is UK based so some American brands (which can be quite expensive here) wont be reviewed. I will also take requests for products should anyone be interested in knowing if it’s worth it.
Eventually I would like to get into reviewing more expensive products such as too faced or ABH products but they will be done very sporadically as I feel I can afford them. To put it another way, they will be a treat for me.
So, in closing, I hope my blog is helpful to you and it aids you in your purchases. Thanks for stopping by x
