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.

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.

Favourite brushes this week

This week I have been loving the real technique brushes and I thought I would do a post about my four favourites from this week. Sorry about a couple of the brushes being dirty I haven't cleaned them yet.

Bold metals real technique 100 brush-I have been in love with this brush for ages now and it's that it is so soft and delicate on your skin. The idea of having a triangle handle at first I admit I wasn't so keen on the idea but I love that now because it fits perfectly in to your hand. It also applys the perfect amount of makeup on your face so there is not too much.

Real technique multi task brush-this is one of my newest brushes and I love it, I use it to apply a light layer of blush on my cheeks as I find it adds the right amount to not make it look like your wearing to much. The hair of the brush is so delicate and is smooth on your skin which feels great. I love the look of this brush with the bright pink handle and I recommend this brush a lot.

Real technique contour brush-This is the perfect size for a contour brush as it is right to get the proper definition of your cheekbones. I find it annoying when they call a brush a contour brush but it is way too big for contouring where as this one is perfect. It also gathers the perfect amount so it doesn't look too heavy on your face which makes you look a bit like a clown.

Real technique deluxe crease brush-I use this brush for concealer as my foundation brush is too big and this is the perfect size for round the nose and under the eye. It is easy to conceal round the eyes as it is more small and less dense so you can get closer to the eye as it is more small.

May favourites

Hey guys here are my May favourites it was really hard to just narrow it down to these 5 items as I have loved so many beauty products so far. Sorry that my brushes aren't clean in this picture.

Real techniques (expert face brush)-this brush has been my favourite for probably the whole of this year so far. It's great as its good for blending in concealer around the nose and eyes. I love the way it spreads the foundation on your skin and I have recommended this brush to many of my friends and they have loved it themselves.

Real techniques (bold metal, arched powder 100 brush)-the minute I got this brush out the packaging I knew I would love it, with the white bristles at first I didn't want to use it as I didn't want them getting dirty as it looked so clean. The benefit of the bristles being white is that you can see how much powder you have put on the brush so whether you've got to much or not. It's great for applying the powder and so soft against the skin.

Rimmel (wake me up concealer)- this is amazing it opens up and brightens your face straight away I can tell a massive difference once it's put on my face straight away. This is one of my must have products as soon as I've ran out I go out and get a new one I put it on everyday just to cover up my spots. I have quite dark circles under my eyes and this really helps get rid of them.

Eyes uncovered (eyeshadow)- the set of eye shadows here are beautiful as I love a shuttle look this is great for me as they have all the colours I could ever ask for. Also I love the names of the colour of eyeshadows because they're named after chocolates and drinks e.g white chocolate, buttercream, biscuit, chocolate milk, brown sugar & espresso. I love the way it feels when it's been applied to my eye as you barely feel it like some and it aplys perfectly.

Infrared (topshop lipstick)- I love the colour of this as its bright and bold and its not just orange as it has a hint of red with it. It aplys really well to the lips which is smooth but after a while with it on your lips it can start to go a bit weird so during the day I recommend that you just keep reapplying it. With the topshop lipsticks I love them all as the colours all vary and they're all so nice but this is my favourite one.
