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?!

Seventeen liquid highlighters | Mini Review

Today I'm bringing you all the two products I have been loving from a glowing complexion. These two highlighters are both from Seventeen, which can be bought from Boots or Superdrug or the Seventeen website. They are such great value for money and I recently featured them in a blog post makeup haul with lots of other Seventeen makeup products which you can check out here. 

I have especially been loving these two highlighters as I am loving a dewy base for under my foundation as my skin is looking a lot drier in the recent cold whether! I also like to use it as just a highlight for just above my cheekbones, or mixed with foundation to make me look more luminous!  

The Tan Glow Liquid I have used the least at the moment, but I can't wait to use it next Summer to add a nice glow to my skin, as I think if I used it now I would look a bit too shimmery especially as it's getting so cold I think I will get a lot of wear out of it next Summer! I have used it two or three times when the weather has been nicer and have loved it then so I can't wait to use it more in the warmer months, this one can also be used three ways but it wouldn't look as subtle as the one on the right. I'm sure it'll give a beautiful bronzed glow, perfect for next Summer!

The Skin Wow Highlighter, is more white, and gives you more of an awake highlight and makes me look a lot more alive! And now as it's winter weather or coming up to it my skin gets super dry and this brings back some life into it. I have used it all three ways, as a primer under my foundation, I really love the way it looks subtle but instantly makes me look more awake and full of life. I have used it mixed with foundation and I think you have to use a little more of this than your foundation if you want to look nice and dewy, but it looks lovely like this too, not too over the top but gives the appearance of beautiful and radiant skin. I have also used it as a highlight on the highest points of my face, so above my cheekbones, on my forehead, chin, and just above my lip (or cupid's bow) whatever you want it to be called haha!

I would probably give them an 8.5 out of 10. They are amazing, lovely consistencies to blend easily, they aren't too expensive, the packaging looks really nice with them much like all the other Seventeen products!

I really enjoy using these highlighters and for a good value drugstore highlighter they are definitely worth the money and would look beautiful on pretty much any skin tone or colour. They can be quite subtle, or built up to be quite out there so if you like the sound of them I would recommend them to anyone wanting to try a drugstore highlighter. 

Do you have a favourite highlighter? 

Whether it's Drugstore or High End I would love to know! 

For Radiant, Glowing Skin

As a girl who loves the look of dewy glowing skin, I have accumulated quite a few products for highlighting the skin. I love quite a few ranging from drugstore to high end and liquid to powder highlighters. But I am going to be taking you through my favourites and why I love them so grab a tea or coffee and if you want a natural highlight or a highlight to create that 'Strobing' look every beauty guru is going on about then keep reading!

So I find that a liquid highlighter sits best on my skin and looks more natural, it doesn't tend to cake up easily like a powder highlighter usually does on me. It is easy to apply, you just apply it to the areas you want to highlight and make stand out on your face and then blend with a makeup bush or your fingers. I think highlighting makes your features stand out a lot more and brings light to that area, I think it can be used on a day to day basis if you'd like too, some people just use it on special occasions but if your obsessed with makeup and beauty items you may want to just it whenever the hell you want haha! So make sure you wear makeup for you and not any other reasons! If you don't like to wear much makeup or are new to highlighting you can always try a highlighter maybe from the drugstore, so you don't waste money if you don't like it! I recommend the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch as it's supposedly just like the YSL touche eclat, which I will talk about later! or you could also try the Bourjois Bronzer and highlighter Duo as I've heard nothing but good things about this duo!
