So I'm sure we're all fully aware of my literal obsession with the Vivo Baked Bronze in shade healthy glow. It's featured in many a favourites list and is worn on my skin everyday. It gives such a flawless finish to even the cheapest of foundations and I can't get enough of it. When I was in Tesco doing my weekly shop I thought why haven't I picked up either of the other two shades yet ... so of course I bought myself sun kiss. It's got darker veining running through it which lends itself to a much bronzer look. With a tan this is subtle enough to sweep all over your face but for now it's perfect on the apples of cheeks giving the perfect bronzing highlight to most looks. I love it of course and right now they are even on offer down from £5 to £3 online here and in most Tesco stores. I can't recommend this product enough it's my most used face product that is perfect for day or night.

Trio of Vivo Pearl Eyeshadows - Smoky Pink, Goddess & Champagne
Vivo Eyeshadow £1 (here)
These little gems were another one of those - I've spent more on make-up than on food Tesco shops. My spending wasn't down to these as each one comes in at a bargainous £1 each. I picked up three pearl shades even though I think I acutally prefer the Matte collection from Vivo as it's much more wearable and I find the pearl collection is a little bit more night out for me. However being the ridiculous person I am I picked up three shimmery shades because I do like things that sparkle.
I bought smoky pink, goddess, and champagne. Goddess (gold) and smoky pink are definitely not shades I'd normally pick up but I was obviously feeling a little adventurous on this day. I like the gold toned Goddess as it goes really well with my usual brown and cream eye looks. However smoky pink just doesn't work for me my boyfriend actually used the term 'are you going for a bit of an 80's vibe today?' I wasn't going for this vibe and I never will be something about it's purple tone just doesn't work on my skin. Champagne is probably my favourite as it's a cute little highlighter cream that I find I can use time and time again. For £1 these are still some of my favourite eye shadow's to play with - as they are so cheap you really don't feel bad about buying a colour that doesn't suit you!

Vivo Matte & Pearl Eyeshadows
My local Tesco (which is a huge extra store) has always had a near empty Vivo cosmetic stand. However when I went in this weekend it had grown to double the size and was full to the brim of every single product including lots of new bits. I of course had to get a selection. I loved the MUA pearl eye shadow here and knowing Vivo and MUA are the same products I knew these would be winners.
I love MUA products but I always buy Vivo more often - pretty much because I'm in Tesco more than I'm in Superdrug and also I think the packaging of these Vivo eye shadows is so much better than the MUA versions. These stack perfectly and just look brilliant for the £1 they cost here. I went for two pearl eye shadows which have a shimmer to them in shades champagne & mink and also one Matte shadow in rich chocolate. I think my favourite is mink as it's a kind of greyish brown that I don't have anything similar too right now.
These aren't the most pigmented eye shadows I've ever used but they are £1 and I love them. You can build up the colours on all of these to be as dark or soft as you want they also blend nicely together. The shade range on offer is all so wearable and I kind of want them all. I have lots of palettes with similar shades to this but I like having the shadows separately too for when I'm away from home over night. For the price you can never complain they are decent shadows that can be worn day or night - and the way they stack so neatly in my eye shadow drawer makes me want them all.
Has anyone else tried any Vivo eye shadows that I need to buy first?

Vivo Baked Blush - Peaches and Cream
So after my love with the Vivo Baked Bronze last week I thought a cheeky blusher wouldn't go wrong in this week's food shop! Again I've mentioned a lot how I've been looking for a cream blusher to replace the discontinued Benefit one I loved. In my search nothing has really equalled it and I've headed towards powder blush's and in doing so have created quite a collection.
I love peachy corally tones to blusher's and this one is exactly that Shade 1 - Peaches and Cream is a gorgeous peach with a hint of pink to it blusher. It goes on gorgeously with very little fall out. Again it's a decent sized blusher that will last. I will be buying Rouge Shimmer next time I'm in Tesco's as I think it's a brilliantly priced (£4) blusher. Highly recommend if your a blusher whore too :)
