REAL vs FAKE #1 | Norvina Palette Anastasia Beverly Hills

With the makeup industry exploding and society defining their success by owning branded luxury goods, more and more counterfeit makeup hit the market. Many people want branded goods (or lookalikes) but without paying the high cost. It's said, "For the price of an authentic lipstick, you can purchase four lookalikes." 

Although I personally wouldn't use fake makeup, I do love seeing comparisons between the real deal and the fake one because sometimes they look shockingly similar! So I want to start a new blog series where I dig the internet for images of genuine products and their counterfeit sister, i'm going to start the series with one of my favourite brands - Anastasia! 

► Packaging

REAL: The Anastasia printing is slightly raised on the cardboard packaging. The palette has the classic ABH suede material and the colour is a medium cool toned lilac.

FAKE: On the cardboard packaging, the Anastasia printing looks flat, it doesn't have that raised embossed print effect. Probably to cut the cost. The gold is also more yellow and a tad darker. The Norvina font is also slightly bolder. As for the palette packaging, you can see the colour is completely different from the original one, it's a deeper royal purple colour. 

► Shadows

REAL: The metallic shadows are gorgeous and have a really nice foil like reflet. The colours look cool toned and pastel. There are 7 metallics and 7 mattes.

FAKE: Well well well, as you can see the colours are very drastically different, this is probably one of the worst knock-offs I've seen because it's so obviously different. The shades are pinker rather than purple, it's warm-toned and the metallics are done in a lacklustre shimmer formula. I think the fake Wild Child looks similar but everything else is off. They've even spelt Soul as Sovl.

I think if someone were to look at a fake Norvina palette before purchasing it, they would be easily able to spot it's not legit. They might get fooled by the darker packaging but there's no way someone would fall for the different shades.

What makeup would you like to see upcoming in this series?

Goodbye MishCheungX, Hello Michelle Cheungg

If you've been following for my blog a while, you would know it has been called MishCheungX for 5 years+. I'm finally changing it to Michelle Cheungg.

From www.mishcheungx.com to www.michellecheungg.com - I decided to take the plunge and change it, knowing that it would affect by traffic DRASTICALLY for a good while (cries). I wasn't happy with the username I came up with when I was 15, is anyone ever happy with their teenager name? Whenever I went to blogging and network events, people would think my blog was "Miss" and not "Mish", so it was difficult for people to note down and it was always easily mistaken. :(

Before I shortened my name to Mish, but now I'm keeping it and I'm making my surname longer. There's an extra g at the end because Michelle Cheung is such a common Asian name that someone else has taken it! Also because michellecheung.com cost £1350+ lmaoooo, sorry I'm too broke to be paying that amount just for an URL. So in a way, I was forced to put the extra g or extra something!

I hope you guys will keep reading my blog (share it would your friends, family, your next door neighbour, your cat, I'm kidding but I'm not kidding)! It's still going to be the same and I want to go hardcore on it to bring you guys good content again, as I know I wasn't updating it this year sadly because of how hectic my last year of university was. BUT IM BACK, BACK AGAIN. (AND BETTER THAN EVERRR).

Here's to a new chapter of my blog and to welcome new beginning! <3 *cheers*

🎃 CARVE MIMIKYU WITH A DRAMATIC BIMBO! 👻 | Pokemon Pumpkin Challenge

Hey, lovelies! It's been a while since I've filmed a video so I thought it'll make a comeback with something fun and chill. I always do a Halloween makeup look for Instagram but I've come to terms that I'm actually terrible with makeup videos (trust me i've tried so many times filming makeup tutorials and I hated the results! :C) So I did what I'm good at instead, arty farsty stuff! I want to film more Youtube videos so let me know what videos you would like to see in the future! <3

Prezzybox Event | Jingle Mingle 2018 With Eltoria and Wild Olive in Birmingham

I've recently moved back to Birmingham after graduating uni, so I've been working hard getting my butt back on the blogging scene. PrezzyBox were super lovely and invited me to their annual Jingle Mingle event, what an exciting way start my blogging journey again! And it's so lovely to have them host their event in Birmingham; last year it was held in Nottingham.

Upon arrival, the Prezzybox team were super welcoming and greeted us with some bubbles. The room was filled with Pinterest style gifts, I would be one happy bunny if someone gifted me something from PrezzyBox, look how cute they are!

If you love your drinkies like me, this Cocktail Neon Effect Sign is a must. I've been eyeing it throughout the night haha. After looking at all the gift displays, we went to have some nibbles and mingled with the other Bloggers. There were bloggers and YouTubers that travelled all the way from Blackpool, Brighton, London etc I was pretty shook and it was so lovely to meet people from everywhere.

Motivational Talks from Zak Edwards and Eltoria

The night followed with a motivational talk from the PrezzyBox creator and MD, Zak Edwards. Before he started Prezzybox, he hated his 9-5 and wanted to do something fun. It was very inspiring and humbling to learn about how he built up the company from an idea, the struggles and the work he put in to get the company where it is today. The key take away from the talk was to do something fun and chase after your dreams. He's such a funny guy and I adore that he tries to support smaller UK businesses and creators, now that he has this successful company.



We also had a talk from Youtuber Eltoria, also known as the beauty advent calendar unboxing girl. She told us about her Youtube journey, gave us social media tips and how to find a niche in the market to dominate. My god, she's even more stunning in real life and she's like the same person in her videos, very bubbly and friendly.

Wild Olive Bath Melt Workshop

This was my favourite part of the night! I did a workshop with the all-natural bath and body brand Wild Olive. Mine didn't turn out looking as good as the ones on display, but hey I tried and it was really fun!

The amazing Lauren showed us how to pipe their popular Bath Melts, if I recall correctly she said that you can make 200 or more an hour, they're all handmade! The Bath Melt is made with cocoa butter to give you an indulgent experience and to moisturize your skin nicely. 

Mine turn out literally like a unicorn poop because I went overboard with the decorations lol, I put loads of biodegradable glitter and unicorn soaps into them. They may be poop but at least they're magical. They also gifted me their Clementine and Prosecco Shower Smoothie, i'm super excited to try it out because it smells sooo divine. All their products are vegan, handmade, kind to your skin and the environment. 

I missed their photography flat lay workshop because I got carried away talking, typical me. But me and Ting did take loads of Instagram boomerangs and photos at their mini photobooth. 

The event was so fun, it had us snapping the night away. Thank you so much to PrezzyBox for hosting this! It would be great to see you again next year. <3

If you want to see for yourself what went down at Jingle Mingle, then here is a little quick video:
