Drugstore favourites

Hi,
So I'm one of them girls who only buys drug store make-up. Who needs high end expensive make-up when you can buy it cheaper but it's still the same quality. Today I'm going to show you my favourite items that I have bought from a drug store branch.
Maybeline New York Master Graphic Eyeliner: £5.99
This is one of my favourite ever eye-liners, it's so easy to use. It has an angled tip which is amazing when creating cat eyes for them perfect lines! This is such a good dupe for Benefit's version. This eye-liner also stays on for the whole day without smudging which I love. I prefer to always do more natural cat eyes, with this eye-liner it's really easy to do that and you can create a much bolder cat eye with the thick line.
Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks: £1.99
This blusher is AMAZING! For £1.99 I am so impressed with it! I got the colour Rosey Glow and it is such a beautiful colour. These blushers are very pigmented and so soft! This is a very natural colour and goes well with any season. This blusher is also very long lasting. These blushers are all matte and really smooth. This is a great dupe for the MAC powder blush in Mocha which is £16 more!
Collection Cream Puff: £2.99
This lip cream is my favourite lip product I had ever bought. I wear this everyday for a natural nude matte colour. This is available in 4 colours. I wear the colour Angel Delight everyday and it looks amazing on! This lip cream stays on for the whole day without having to top up throughout the day. This is a great dupe for the Anastasia liquid lipstick.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: £4.19
I have a lot of spots, and I mean a lot. This concealer conceals them so well. This concealer lasts all day for me which is amazing when I'm at school. It has high coverage and covers everything. It is also water resistance which is very good. This is a amazing dupe for the Nars Creamy Concealer which is £18 more!
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder: £3.99
I have been using this powder for as long as I have started wearing make up. I have this in the colour Peach Glow, which does give you a nice glow. This is very long lasting and keeps me non-shiny for the whole day. This also helps with minimizing of pores. This powder isn't cakey at all and gives you a nice, natural finish. This is a good dupe for the MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Powder.
Rimmel Wonder'full mascara: £7.99
I have been using this mascara for a long time now. I used to coat my lashes in 3 different mascaras just to get full voluminous, long lashes. But now I only have to use this to get the same effect. You get no clumps when using this mascara which is so good. The argon oil in the formula makes your lashes feel so soft and lightweight with that volume. This leaves your lashes feeling so conditioned and soft. This is an amazing dupe for Benefit's They're Real mascara.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick Kate Moss 107: £5.49
I bought this lipstick only a few days ago and it is already one of my favourites. In autumn I love wearing dark red colours, all the warm tones are amazing for autumn. This lipstick is very long lasting and has a matte/velvet finish. It is very good quality for a good price.

These are all of my favourite drug store products, thank you for reading and I should see you soon.
XOXO

Style Icon: Ariana Grande

Hi,
I'm going to talk about literally one of my favourite people on the earth, Ariana Grande! Its not only her music and vocals that are amazing, it is also her cute and stylish style.


This outfit is one of my favourites, it's just so simple and easy yet she still looks amazing. She has her hair down which I absolutely love and her make-up is always on fleek, especially the cat eye.
I think she looks amazing and I love this outfit.
This outfit is my favourite evening/night out look for Ariana. She has still got the cat ears which is just her signature look but then she has a lace bralette, a white skater skirt and white high heels. I think this look is so cute and just the style for Ariana. 



This look is one of my favourites, it's such a pretty lace bodysuit with a plain black skirt. I love the lace body suit so much, it's such a good look for her!






This look is amazing, it's just a plain simple jumpsuit with a slit in it and yes, of course, she has her signature cat ears which is so Ariana! She is also wearing her backpack which is free if you buy the big Ari Perfume. It's got cute rose gold/copper straps with a black quilted finish. 



So that's it for my style icon, my 4 favourite outfits of her, I'm so excited for her new single focus and hopefully her new album following that. 
XOXO

August Favourites

Hello,
Yes, I know its late September but I really wanted to show you what I have been loving in August because trust me there was a lot of things!
So it was  my birthday in August which meant I got some new bits of makeup, some clothes and the best day out ever! Here is the first thing I have been loving in August.
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation:
So I got this foundation for my birthday as it is quite pricey ( £31.00) but it is worth it! I saw this foundation in multiple Zoella make-up tutorials and it has amazing coverage, what I really need as I have quite a lot of blemishes. 
Ever since I got it I have been loving it, it's so easy to blend and it gives you a healthy glow! But I would recommend it as I'm quite a messy person. If you got this product, I recommend the Nars £3 foundation pump with it or you will have to pour it and you will either pour to much or to little!



Ciate Bamboo Bronzer:
I got this bronzer also for my birthday and it was actually my first bronzer I have ever worn! It is a matte bronzer and it gives you a lovely sun kissed healthy glow.
It is also long wear so when I use this in the morning for school it lasts the whole day which is amazing! I got the colour Palm Island which was the perfect colour as it wasn't too dark, it was a lovely natural colour.

Tanya Burr Hollywood Eye Palette:
I got this late August and it is amazing. I have been wearing this whole palette everyday. The palette contains 4 colours, Nude Delight which is a creamy, nude shade which I always put on my brow bone. Gold Coin which is a beautiful, shimmery gold colour which I put all over my lid. Enchantment which is quite a glittery gold colour which I put on the outer corners of my eyelid. Then I put the colour Bookworm which is a brown/bronzer colour in my crease. I got this look from the Tanya Burr Gold Smoky Eye Tutorial This eye shadow palette is also very pigmented which is great!

Sheer Love Fragrance Mist by Victoria Secret:
I also got this for my birthday from America as these sprays are a lot cheaper there. I use this spray everyday and I'm obsessed with it. This scent is a fresh and flirty smell. It's the scent White Cotton and Pink Lilly. I totally recommend getting this and all the other sprays, they are amazing!

Topshop Joggers:
I bought these joggers from Outfit and they're the best piece of clothing I have got in a long time. These are perfect for lazy days and even going out for a casual night. They're so comfy its incredible!
They're a grey, neppy fabric with elasticated cuffs. They were in the sale from £30 to £15 so I thought they were a great price, especially for Topshop!

Favourite TV Show: Pretty Little Liars
So I started watching this in June and it took me till July to catch up ready for Season 6 and if you haven't watched the Pretty Little Liars mid season 6 finale then don't read this! 
I was quite disappointed with who A was but I thought it was an amazing story line and I can't wait for the next episode. The reason I put this in my favourites was because I re-watched all episodes in season 1-6 during the summer holidays and I finished all of it in a month. I just love it so much!

So they're my favourites of August. I will leave links for the products below if I can find them. Most of the makeup products was inspired by Zoella's makeup tutorial so I will link that below as well.
