Firstly, I adore the Max Factor Creme puff blush in Seductive pink, it adds the prettiest flush of colour to the cheeks and I find it's absolutely perfect for Spring/Summer I really enjoyed using it towards the end of Summer where I wore it so much, it's amazing as you don't need much and it looks like I have barely used any!

I also have recently re-discovered my high beam high lighter from Benefit which I used every time I went out somewhere where I wanted to look a bit more glowy, this adds the most beautiful sheen to the cheeks but doesn't look too much, it's just the perfect highlighter for me and I really like the applicator too!

Now if you don't expect this product in a lot of 'products I've been loving' then where have you been? This is the most talked about mascara I swear in a lot of years! especially this last one! It's the Lash Sensational mascara and it just does everything you could want in a mascara, it adds length like no other mascara does for me but also adds volume and separates my lashes so well! I'm in love!

I have chosen two Mac lipsticks as these are my newest and most loved this year! I have chosen Velvet Teddy and Honey Love, Velvet Teddy just looks amazing on everyone I think, I haven't seen anyone it doesn't suit and it's just a browny nude lip colour, but its matte, it's not drying though and just looks so classy with any makeup look!
Honey Love is more of a lighter nude but it's so complementary on my skin tone and when you want something that isn't bright or in your face, this one is lovely and the formula of both of these lipsticks is amazing, so creamy not drying at all- but they are both matte lipsticks!

The Next one is also a Mac product which is the Pro Long Wear Concealer, I have loved this throughout 2015, it's been so amazing for under the eyes it's thick so covers everything you may want to hide but doesn't crease on me when I set it, it just covers all my under eye imperfections and I'm so impressed with it, I have many favourite concealers but I love this one for covering those under eye bags!

I could not do this post without mentioning more than one highlighter, so here is the second which is the Mac Soft and Gentle mineralised skin finish, now this is just AMAZING! It's the prettiest gold-y looking highlighter but doesn't come out too gold on the skin its a perfect in the middle of a white/gold highlighter and it's just the most incredible highlighter and you need the smallest bit, it's going to last me a life time haha! I have really gotten into highlighting in this past year, and I cannot be without this!

Lastly for this post is my most favourite blush colour ever, which is by Benefit, It is a rose gold colour but is a mixture between a pinky/purple blush but it's just so beautiful and creates a gorgeous rose-y cheek, it's also amazing for just below your cheek bones as it excentuates them and they look super glowy too as this has a nice glittery sheeny highlight to it as well. I am so obsessed with it!

Now I'm sure I will be loving these all throughout this year too as I am addicted to them all at the moment!
What are your favourite makeup products of 2015?!

My Lash Multiplying Trio


So if you're at all like me, you want longer and thicker lashes, and for them to appear much fuller. Now I without a doubt need mascara in my life! I have the shortest, little lashes and they naturally don't look full at all and I look like I barely have any!

These are the three products which make my eyes appear so much more awake and my lashes more full and thick! I love the affect that these three products have on my eye area and how much more my eyes stand out when using them.

So the first product I use is the 'Soft Ochre' paint pot from Mac, I use this just to prime for eye shadow- If I'm wearing any that day, but it just covers veins and anything else you want to cover on your eye lid and with my skin tone it looks super natural and doesn't look like I have a product on my eyelids. Now I also understand how this isn't going to affect my eye lashes much as it's priming and concealing my eye lids basically. But without it I can really tell a difference in my eyes and my lashes as they really seem to pop more, even though this is a natural shade it makes my eyes and eyelashes look so much better I can tell a difference if I don't use it.

I then use my Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara which is amazing and is by far the best mascara from the drugstore I've ever found I am so obsessed with it and am in need of buying a back up as I don't want to go a day without it, this is how much I love it! It adds so much length which I really need, having the shortest straight lashes it really lifts them too so it doesn't make much of a difference if I use eyelash curlers or not. So if you're wanting to know if it's worth the hype I so recommend you trying it I don't know how someone could have a bad word to say about it, as the difference in my eye lashes and how much longer they look is really something to hype a product up over! 

I then use the Benefit They're Real Mascara, if I think I need it, this adds a lot more volume I find and can keep my eyelashes curled upwards all day, which most mascara's can't seem to hold a curl that well with my short, stubborn lashes. I love how this looks on it's own too, both of these mascara's I would wear on their own but they both have things I wish the other did more of too. But I can't complain as they are two of the best mascara's I have ever used! And there's an alternative for both high end and drugstore if you are wanting longer and thicker lashes or the appearance of more lashes, hence me calling this my 'lash multiplying trio' But I love them both and I know they are both hyped about a lot but they are two products I definitely agree with the hype over, they truly deserve to be hyped over!
