Vivo Sugar Plum

A few weeks ago I headed out on a quest to find some Vivo products.  I knew that they are a Tesco exclusive brand so headed to the big Tesco.  As I walked down the makeup isle, all the makeup brands had shutters covering them, and security cameras next to them - quite shocking, never expected that, but I guess they have their reasons to need to protect the makeup to that extent.  I was gutted... all that way, and no Vivo for me at 7pm.  But, low and behold at the end of the isle was the Vivo stand, with no shutters around it :)  I was excited I'd get to try them, but also a bit reserved that it didn't deserve protecting.  I'll be reviewing what I bought bit by bit over the next few weeks, this is the first of the reviews :)

My Thoughts

For £2.50 I didn't expect a great deal - however, Vivo are pretty much the same as MUA so I did have some expectations.  All in all I like this trio, the winning colour of them is the middle shade.  The lighest shade barely highlights my browbone, so is a bit redundant, the darkest shade is nice but a bit sheer, but can be built up in the crease.  But the middle shade, now thats the super pretty one.  You all know I'm a sucker for purple so I couldn't resist this, and no real surprise that the middle shade is my fav :)  As for how well they last, they're pretty decent, nothing groundbreaking but for £2.50 we need realistic expectations on what to expect :)  They blend fairly well, but not as well as some other budget brands like the US brand Wet n Wild or NYX.  Would I re-purchase?  Probably not if I'm honest.  It's not that they're terrible at all, just that now I've tried it, I'd like to put that money towards trying another brand :)  All in all, they're decent for the price but nothing groundbreaking ;)
