Makeup Essentials Haul

I always get too excited buying new makeup, its so satisfying buying a new foundation and concealer. I thought I would give you an update/review on my favourite everyday essential products.


I would've never thought that this foundation would be that good and only be £7.99! Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hour Foundation. This is a new favourite of mine, I bought this in March and I have needed to repurchase it ever since. This foundation gives you full coverage, and it stays on your face the whole day. It feels so natural and doesn't look cakey on your skin at all. Surprisingly this is a drugstore foundation, I would say it could be a dupe for NARS Sheer Glow Foundation which is £23 different! This foundation also has SPF 20 which is great!

Onto my favourite concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This concealer has the best full coverage, I have the shade fair because I like a concealer brighter so it will also highlight your face as well. Its so good for covering my dark spots and dark circles. It is only £4.19 which I think is a really good price for the best drugstore concealer. You should set it with powder, because it will stay there for a lot longer.

My favourite primer: Nivea Post Shave Balm Sensitive. This is supposed to be used for after shaving, everyone was talking about how cheap it is and it can be used for a face makeup primer. When I first used it, I loved the difference it made to my makeup. It made my makeup dewy and it made it last longer. It makes a very good moisturiser under your makeup as well.

My favourite eyeshadows: All About Shadow Singles in Ballet Flats. I got given a gift from Clinique which was called compact colour. This is shimmery baby pink, it is very pigmented and easy to blend. It has excellent staying power! The second eyeshadow I love is Revlon ColourStay ShadowLinks in Sand. This shadow is for a base for your eye, its a creamy shimmery colour. It blends very easily and very pigmented.

My favourite eyeshadow primer: Makeup Revolution Eye Primer Original.This primer makes my eyeshadow stay on for so much longer without it. It also covers all my veins on my eyelid and evens out the colour. It doesnt have any creasing and its only £2.50.

My favourite lipstick/liquid lipstick: Velvet Teddy MAC Lipstick. This lipstick is my favourite because you can wear it with almost any makeup look and its a matte lipstick which does stay on all day. Velvet Teddy is a deep tone beige which can be an everyday lipstick. Collection Cream Puff Angel Delight. This lip cream is very moisturising and its still matte. It has a very long lasting colour and very pigmented. Its a very beigey nude and even smells like cake!

My favourite mascara: Collection Fast Stroke Defining Lash in Ultra Black. This mascara is only £2.50! It separates and lengthens lashes. It is also very long lasting, it will complete your eye makeup look with no effort at all!

My favourite brow product: Gimme Brow Medium/Deep. This makes your brows look a lot fuller and adds more colour while still looking natural. It is also water resistant and an award winning brow product. The brush is very useful because its small and very precise.

My favourite powder: Sephora Smoothing Translucent Setting Powder. This powder sets my makeup very nicely and its easy to apply. It also doesnt give out too much product when you tap it out of the container. It makes my makeup feel very smooth and soft.

My favourite contour products: NYX WonderStick Universal. This product is very creamy and easy to blend out. The highlighter isnt that good but the contour is amazing. Its so easy to use you just need to glide it on your cheekbones then blend it out. I get amazing results every time I use it. Makeup Revolution Sculpt & Contour Kit C01. This palette has the perfect contour colour, not to dark and not to light. It is a very subtle contour but still noticeable. For £3.50 you cant go wrong! The blusher is also really pretty with a rosey gold tone.

My favourite highlighter: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Moonstone. This is a very pale gold colour. It has a radiant finish, yes it is quite pricey but it shows so much and shines so much. It is very soft and blendable. I think its completely worth the price.

My favourite bronzer: Loreal Glam Bronze 03. This is a new product of mine, it is very wearable and such a nice colour. It gives you an amazing healthy glow. It gives you a natural matte colour, which is very long lasting.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Sculpt & Contour Kit Review

Hello,
So today I'm going to be talking about my favourite contour/bronzer product. I got this in a big make up set and it is amazing. I could never find the right colour for my contour but I have now found it!
Its only £3.50 which I think is amazing and it provides a contour/bronzer powder, a highlighter powder and a shimmery blush. These contour kits are great quality, they blend so nicely and the colour for contour makes my face so much more bronzed and sharp its amazing!
The bronzer is matte, its so pigmented and a soft brown. The highlighter is a white based champagne colour with a shimmer which is so nice. All the powders are very pigmented. The blusher is a peachy pink shimmery colour which looks so nice. It adds a beautiful shine on your cheeks. You can build up the colours so nicely.
I would totally recommend this product, its amazing. The colours 
are so nice and I love the way it goes on, thank you for reading

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub Review

Hello,
So I only bought this on Saturday and I have fallen in love with it! As soon as it hits Winter my lips get so dry and horrible. When I went to the city on Saturday this caught my eye.
All you do is dab your finger in the pot very lightly and scrub my lips. Then I rub them together and lick it off. Because this flavour is bubblegum flavoured it tastes so much, and it smells so nice as well! It was only £5.50 and I think that is really good as you get so much in it, and should last you ages. 
When I put my lipstick on it feels a lot smoother and it smells like my favourite lush products as well like Snow Fairy and Mmmelting marshmallow moment. It also makes my lips feel so smooth. I think my lips are in great condition after using this!
Thankyou for reading down below is the link for the lip scrub

My 2 Favourite Advent Calendars

Hello,
I literally cant believe December is nearly over! Its always been my favourite month and there is only 4 days till Christmas!! So in this post I'm going to be talking about my 2 favourite advent calendars. One of them is a chocolate one and another is a Yankee Candle one.

Reindeer Carousel Advent Calendar:
In this advent calendar you will either get a tealight or votive candle in the 24 days leading up to Christmas! You get a variety of scents, and because im a big candle fan I tend to like any! The first thing I noticed about this calendar is that its so gorgeous. Its a carousel with reindeers printed on it. It is quite a lot of money but it was 50% off so it got reduced which was good. The only thing I hated about this calendar was that it was so hard to get out of the windows and that you would end up ripping the box is which I hate doing! To get the votive candles especially I do struggle! But I do definitely recommend this for next year!
Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar 200G:
So im a girl that loves chocolate ALOT. I always thought it was a shame as in normal advent calendars you don't get a lot of chocolate. My Dad brought me this calendar and let me say the chocolates are a lot bigger than normal ones! This calendar has either vanilla flavour filling in the middle or just normal chocolates. There so thick and everyone loves Dairy Milk!

Thankyou for reading I hope this helped you pick out your next year advent calendars!

Best of MAC

Hello,
So today I'm going to talk about one of my favourite high end make up brand. I went on a huge MAC make up haul last year and I still have it now! I had a £30 gift card for Christmas which I could use and get a free makeover. 
I had such a nice lady who did my make up for me! It was quite scary though as she had to take my make up off originally to get the make up on! I ended up spending a lot more as originally planned so I'm going to share with you my favourite products.

1. MAC Brow Set - Clear £14
   
     - So I brought this late December last year and I still have it! I use this after I fill my brows in and it helps them keep in place for the whole day! It leaves your brows set nicely and doesn't dry them out. I have asked this for Christmas as I have now after a year nearly finished it. I find this brush is exactly the right shape for my brows which is great!
2. Mineralize Skinfinsh Natural Powder - Light Plus £24 
   
    - My one thing about this product that bugs me is that the time I brought it, I think I may have got a bit to excited and used it so quickly! I used it up in earlier this year I think and I still haven't repurchased it because of the price. This over your primer, foundation and concealer is amazing! It has great coverage which I love and it feels light on your skin! With this a little goes a long way which I learnt after I used it all up!
3. Studio Face and Body Foundation £22
   
    - This foundation is so watery its crazy, but when you start to get it in the skin it gives you an amazing and dewy finish on your skin. You can build up the coverage a lot but I don't like doing that as I don't like putting that much foundation on. This foundation gives me mostly a matte finish which I really like. 

Sorry this is a short blog, I just do recommend these products as they are my favourite from MAC. I really do recommend going to MAC and getting a gift card if you want to buy someone a nice Christmas present. You get a free makeover from it to try out all the new products so its worth it! 

Thank you for reading!

Ciate Palm Island Bamboo Bronzer: Review

Hello,
So today I'm going to talk about one of my favourite products. I got this for my birthday as it is quite pricey! This is my first bronzer ever, I didn't know where to put it and to be honest I found it scary putting brown stuff on your face!
I got this bronzer in the colour palm island and its a great colour for my skin tone, not too dark! It has a lovely matte finish which I love, It leaves a lovely bronzed glow on your face after use. Also described on the product it is very long lasting.
This bronzer is very light and it feels so smooth on your skin. It has last for so long as it still looks new and I got it in August!

Thank you for reading, This product is amazing and I recommend it a lot!

Best Skincare products

Hello,
So today I'm going to talk about some of my best skincare products which I use in my everyday routine. I have got really bad skin but I think that these products do help my spots and take my makeup off everyday.

1. Foaming Sonic Facial Soap - Clinique £16.50
   
    - I use this everyday at night to take of my makeup and its amazing! I haven't been using thing for long now but I can see that it helps and cleans my skin. It comes in a green tube I put quite a lot on and just massage it in my skin. I usually leave it on my skin for 3 minutes and then take it off. Your supposed to use it with the sonic cleasing brush, but I don't have one as there really expensive! It makes your skin feel so smooth after use.
2. Sudocrem Skin Care Cream - £1.99 
   
   - I haven't been using this for long either but it is amazing! I put this on all my spots before I go to bed then when I wake up the redness of my spots have reduced so much! This cream is also so cheap to by and it lasts you ages. Its so easy to put on, all you do is squeeze some out of the tube and then apply it wherever you want. Don't use so much a little goes a long way! This cream also helps on rashes, cuts and sunburnt skin. This is amazing and I totally recommend using it!
3. Origins Super Spot Remover - £15 
   
   - I haven't used this in a while as it is a very small tube and its quite a lot of money. But I need to repurchase! Its a tiny bottle only containing 10ml and it usually lasts me about 1 month and a half. All you do is squeeze a tiny bit out of the tube and put it on your spots. After you apply you feel a bit of tightness but once I apply this to my spots everyday they disappear so much quicker. The only downside of this gel is that its so small I tend to use it so quickly and its quite expensive to go and repurchase.

Thank you for reading, I recommend all of these products and I hope this helped you in some way. Leave comments below for your ideas of what I should post next.
