2015 has officially been the year of YouTube domination. It's so incredible to be part of a such a dynamic and creative new industry. I'm constantly impressed by what my friends and peers are achieving, but especially so of the latest lady to drop her very own makeup collection.

If you guys don't already watch Tati (or GlamLifeGuru as she used to be known) and you are into your makeup, you need to get over to her channel ASAP. She seriously knows her stuff, posts incredible tutorials and no-nonsense reviews. To top that off, she's genuinely one of the nicest girls on the 'tube and has therefore become one of my best friends over the past three years.

Anyway, enough fan-girling from me! Tati has released a new collection with beauty sampling pioneers, Birchbox. It's called LOC (Love of Colour) and consists of five 'One and Done' creme eyeshadow sticks, and three mini matte lipsticks....
First off for the eyeshadows. The shade selection is seriously swoon-worthy, with the rose-gold 'On Point' stealing the show (in my opinion at least.) These are opaque semi-metallic cremes that blend nicely but once they've dried down, don't budge all day. I think they are really versatile because, as the name would suggest, you can use them alone and be done or you can blend them into the eyelid as a base and pair them with your other favourite powder shadows, where they last really nicely, add another element of shimmer and make a great primer.
