March favourites

I can't believe March is over already!! Is it just me or has this year gone so quick already. I'm going to do my monthly favourites. Enjoy!!!

Clinique-chubby contour stick: there is a lot of product in the chubby stick which is great. It blends out perfectly and gives great cheekbones, if you love contouring this is the product for you.

Zoeva-100 luxe face paint: I haven't had this brush for long but I love it. There are no runaway hairs when washing or applying with this brush. It is made out of natural hairs. I find that the zoeva brushes always look so perfect. They are also a great size for traveling with.

Rimmel-wake me up foundation: this foundation is one of my faves, it has a medium coverage which I love. It doesn't go cakey which I always like with a foundation. I find that this colour suits my skin tone really well and it also makes my face feel so smooth. A little bit goes along way, with just one pump if you want a light coverage is all you need so it is build able on the face.

Charlotte Tilbury-lip liner savage rose: this lip liner is so pretty it draws round the lips so perfectly and it doesn't smudge. A lot of lip liners can be quite rough when applying but no this one is creamy. I really recommend this product.

Charlotte Tilbury-lipstick walk of shame: it's such a beautiful colour plummy red sort of colour. It has a matte finish some lipsticks with this finish are very drying to the lips but this one isn't. It is a very long lasting lipstick so will last for most of the day. I am in love with the packaging because I love rose gold.

Urban decay-smokey palette: at first I didn't know what sort of look to do with this palette because there are a lot of dark colours. Eventually I got the hang of this palette and now I can do neutral and smokey looks with this palette. One of my favourite colours is 'armour' because the silver has a lot of pigment so it stands out a lot more than what you expect it to.

Birmingham haul

Yesterday I went Birmingham to do some shopping and I bought four things which I really love. Enjoy!!!

The first thing I picked up was the MAC mineralise skin finish in soft and gentle. This is such a beautiful highlight it is a champagne gold sort of colour. It has the perfect shimmer and let's be honest there is never to much highlight. I love the packaging it looks so sleek. This is the first time I have used a Mac highlight and I love it, I really like the fact you can use it as an eyeshadow as well.

I also picked up this hexagon shape pot in copper and it looks so pretty. This is a great pot for makeup brushes because due to the shape you can fit the smaller brushes into the corners where as in a circle shape it's harder to fit all your brushes in.

This Mac prep + prime is amazing! I love the smell of this product and it makes my makeup stay on for a lot longer. This also helps my eyeshadow become more pigmented because I spray it on the brush and then put it in the eyeshadow and it becomes a lot more pigmented.

In selfridges I saw this photo frame and I fell in love. I love the colour at the moment I seem to be loving the colour copper and rose gold. I've never seen a photo frame like this so that's why I bought it because it was different.

Boots haul

If you had read my last post you would be aware that I was in Croyde and I mentioned that I was going to do a haul. All these products I'm going to mention are all at reasonable price as they are from a drugstore. Enjoy!!!

The first two things I bought were for contouring one from maybeline and one from collection. The collection master sculpt is great because I find it so easy to blend so you can make the contour as sharp or subtle as you want. The highlight has a perfect amount of shimmer. The maybeline master sculpt has to be my favourite out of the two because I think the colour is just perfect for contouring and the highlight is great as well. With this product it comes with a great sized mirror and will be easy to carry around with me.

For along time I have wanted to try out the collection concealer because I have heard so many good things about it. I haven't tried this product out yet so I can't say whether I agree with the craze or not. The other concealer is from soap and glory and I have also wanted to try this out for ages. When I first tried it I thought it was quite hard to blend with a brush but then I tried it again and it blended a lot better with a beauty blender.

This foundation is great it suits my skin tone perfectly and I find that it doesn't go clumpy on some of my dry patches which I love. It is easy to blend with a beauty blender or a brush as it doesn't leave any strokes. It does last a long time but I can't say it lasts for 25 hours because I personally don't leave makeup on for that long I put it on in the morning and take it off at night.

The Rimmel match perfection powder is great I put it on my oily places on my face like my t-zone, under eyes and my chin. It keeps my makeup in place all day so I recommend you go out and by this.

This boujoir blush is the best from a drugstore in my opinion I got mine in number 34. I love this blush because when you apply it to your cheeks it is subtle and has a shimmer to it from the gold running through it.

This number 17 'easy on the eye' is a great palette it comes with 8 nude eyeshadows, 3 cream eyeshadows and a primer. This palette would be great for beginners of makeup because they are subtle colours and they are easy to blend. Also I love that it comes with instructions so for a beginner they will learn what to do.

What I got for Christmas

I can't believe Christmas has been and gone, it's my favourite day and it's a shame it's only once a year. For this post I'm just going to show you what I got for Christmas. Enjoy!!!

These next ones were my main presents which were my favourite.

This soap and glory set is so good and I will be writing a post about it in January.

I love this Liz Earle product it is pink pepper and mint. I can already tell the difference of what it has done to my skin.

This Clinique chubby stick is so moisturising on the lips.

Christmas stocking gifts under £15

Merry blogmas!!!

This post is for Christmas stocking fillers which are affordable under the price of £15. These would also make great gift ideas for your friends. Enjoy!!!

One thing is this soap and glory body wash set. There are four flavours which are all great and the smells are delicious. The quality of this product is amazing I love the body shop and it never lets me down. This item came to a price of £6 which is really good.

The next couple of items are the Tanya burr products each one of her products are amazing and they never disappoint. One of them is the lipgloss and this is in afternoon tea which is such a beautiful colour. The next thing is the peach palette in this there is a bronze, blush and highlight each of these are great and they each have a shimmer to them which is pretty. I love Tanya's knew design of the products all the colours are so pretty.

This on is a major must have for Christmas and this is the glazed Apple scent from the body shop. This is so lovely this set and you get body wash and body butter. To be honest this is probably my favourite scent from the body shop so I always look forward to getting this for Christmas the Christmas season.

The soap and glory hand cream set is beautiful, I always love the smell from soap and glory. My favourite on is the lime flavoured I just think it is different to anyother scent I have had before. These make my hands so soft and work a lot better than what I expected.

These body butters make your skin so soft I have loads of these mini sets since in boots it was 3 for 2 this came to the price of £8 which is reasonable. Again my favourite scent is probably the lime. I think this would make a great gift for a friend and I'm sure they would love it.

Christmas essentials

Merry blogmas!!!

Today I thought I would do my Christmas essentials, I always love to see these posts because I like to know what everybody loves during the Christmas time of year.

Enjoy!!!

The first thing on my list is probably the most important to me and that is lounge trousers. These ones are from Marks and Spencer's if you're wondering and they cost £12. They are so soft and are great to just lounge around in. I love the design on this as I love the reindeer and Christmas trees because they look so cute. During Christmas time I have a huge love for the colour red, I think this is down to robins as you only see them in winter.

Another thing on my essentials is wooly ear muffs, the even better thing about these ones in particular is that you can play music from them through Bluetooth. I got these last year for Christmas and when it was cold these were great and kept my ears warm.

A mini hot water bottle is a massive essential as when it's a cold night you can snuggle up to it and it will keep you nice and warm. Again I got this for Christmas so I don't know where this was from or how much it cost. I really love the fluffy cover and I think it looks really cute. This would also make a great gift for a friend who always says I'm cold.

I have already commented on how much I love red in Christmas so of course I am in love at the moment with my rim meld Kate moss lipstick in 107. It is such a pretty red and it leaves your lips moisturised after use and it tastes and smells good. A lot of people praise this product and rightfully so because it is just an amazing product.

What are your Christmas essentials?

Christmas wish list

Merry blogmas!!!

Happy 3rd of December guys. Today in this post I thought I would show you some of my beauty items I have put on my Christmas list in case any of you guys are stuck on what to put on your list for Christmas.

Enjoy!!!

One of the first things I put on my list was the urban decay palette's 1 and 2, I chose these because both of them look so pretty and seem to have easy to use colours. I decided not to put the naked 3 on as I don't really know what I would with them colours.

Another thing I put on my list was these two Mac lipsticks one in Brave and the other in Plumful. These two colours look so pretty and seem to be a quite subtle colour.

The next part of my list is all drugstore, one thing is the maybeline mascara and I've decided to get this as so many of my friends have recommended this to me.

Another thing is the collection contour kit, it seems really good and has great quality. I am also asking for the maybeline master sculpt as I have seen so many you tubers mentioning this and it get such a lot of praise. The other thing is the soap and glory 'well I'll be glammed' this looks like such a good set and I have the blush already from this set and it is so pretty so thought I would ask for this.

These zoeva brushes are so pretty and seem to be really good quality, I asked for these for my birthday but I didn't get them so I want them for Christmas. This Charlotte Tilbury set is georgeous it's very privet but it is Christmas so I thought I would add it anyway. This makeup is such great high quality and the lipstick from here is amazing. I love rose gold!!

The last thing on my list is this Liz Earle set because it has such great products and a big variety on loads of skin care. I have recently been watching Eve Benett on YouTube and she comments on Liz Earle a lot so I thought I would try it out. Also a lot of people comment on this saying each product is long lasting and smells great so I think I will love it.

What's on your Christmas list?

Drugstore winter makeup

Merry Blogmas!!!

Since this is my first year blogging I thought I would do a merry blogmas and I'm going to post everyday until 25th December. Christmas is my favourite time of year and this makeup look is so pretty and Christmassy. For my Christmas look I have decided to do it drugstore so everything in this look is affirdable and you can get it all from super drug or boots. Enjoy!!!

To start off this look I do a simple base with the Rimmel wake me up concealer and foundation which has great coverage. To apply this I use the real techniques expert face brush which I love. On top of the base I use the natural collection powder so my makeup won't move during the day, I especially have to put it over my t-zone and my chin as they can get very oily. To put the powder on I use the real techniques blush brush although I know powder is not blush. 

I then apply the maybeline master sculpt with my real techniques contour brush and I apply this in the hollow of my cheeks and anywhere the  sun would hit in natural light. I then add my soap and glory blush to the apples of my cheeks because it looks pretty. This blush is beautiful as it has a little bit of shimmer on it and a subtle pink colour.

Once the whole face is done I move on to the eyes and I have been using the 17 eyeshadow. First I use the real techniques eye base brush and I use the lightest colour eyeshadow and place it all over my eye. This colour is beautiful as it has a little shimmer and looks pretty. Next I use the darker colour and place it in the crease of my eye to give the smokey eye effect.

Once those two steps have been done I take the maybeline liquid eyeliner and put it over the top of my eyelid and do a little flick. The final step for the eyes is mascara from natural collection it is not the best mascar but it was the only drugstore mascara I have.

Finally my favourite part of the whole look is the lips. I have been using the Rimmel Kate moss lipstick in 107 I find this red is just Christmas it looks so pretty. Also for some reason it reminds me of robins.
