My March Favourites

March has been a super busy month for me, but it's not stopped me loving lots of different beauty/skincare products this month! 

Funnily enough most of my products here are pink, but that's fine as it's my favourite colour! So let me start with the first product!

My favourite body product has actually been this Heel Genius Foot Cream by Soap and glory, I basically hate feet especially my own so anything that makes them look and smell better (I know, Gross) is a wonder product for me and this has just made my heels so much softer, and foot pampering is definitely what I need as after all summer is just around the corner! This is a miniature of the original but it is very good value for money for the full size at £5.50 so I will definitely be purchasing the full size soon!

Then I actually have been adoring the Sugar Crush Body Spray also by Soap and glory, as you can see I am in love with the soap and glory range as it all just smells divine and the products are amazing. This just smells like the sugar crush body wash in liquid form and it is without a doubt the nicest body spray smell, and I have recently seen on instagram there is a perfume/fragrance version so I NEED that in my life!!

Then this lip gloss all I can say is it's the best drugstore one I've found. It's the Barry M lip gloss in Toffee, and unfortunately I can't find it anywhere online *cries* and I really hope it isn't discontinued as I have really struggled to find a nice lipgloss which is the perfect formula for me at an affordable price. It goes with all my lipsticks in this post too so even better, but not if it's gone forever!

For moisturiser I'm loving my Garnier Moisturise Match in 'Goodbye Dry', because it's the perfect in-between it's not too light or too thick but it really helps with the dry areas on my face and helps my makeup to sit a lot nicer and I don't find any makeup clings to my dry areas when I use this! -Bonus! 

Now I'm going to take you though my most loved/adored lipsticks for this month!

The first is the L'Oreal Eva's Nude Lipstick it's a beautiful peachy, pink which is just a perfect spring/summer colour which will really pop with a nice summery glow, it looks so gorgeous paired with any eye look or just a natural makeup look, it's beautiful!

The Second one in is a Maybelline Lipstick in Tantalising Taupe I can rarely get away with this very pale glossy nude shade, it is a browny nude colour, as taupe would suggest but I have been loving it with darker eyes or bold contour/blush shades, it really complements most makeup looks well! 

Then Last but not least my well loved, Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 38, it is a gorgeous nude/neutral pink with the most gorgeous tones in it and it's the most wearable lipstick shade I think I own for Spring/Summer it will just look so neutral but still very pretty and easy to just put on whenever or wherever you are and it doesn't require too much upkeep you don't have to keep applying it throughout the day!

What's have been your favourites this month?! 

My Top Three Drugstore Foundations

I am a big, big fan of makeup from cheaper brands usually the more expensive drugstore brands have amazing products and some are even better than high end ones in my opinion. That's why I thought I would share my top three drugstore foundations today! 

You can browse them here! 

Rimmel Match Perfection - here

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - here

Rimmel Lasting Finish - here

So my first favourite in the photo, is the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation and this has been probably my longest favourite drugstore foundation and I have probably repurchased it 6-7 times maybe! I think it has amazing coverage and my shade 'True Ivory' is such a perfect match for me in winter and also towards the start of summer. It is a lovely coverage, it doesn't feel too thick and offers  good coverage for spots, I usually do use a bit of concealer over the top of them though if I am experiencing a breakout! I would probably say it is medium coverage, it does exactly what I want it to do, and I love this new 'pore blurring effect' it supposedly has, I just love this foundation and I don't know if it makes me pores look smaller but the foundation makes me look 100% better and more confident than I feel without it on! 

The second I have to talk about is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, I love the smell of this foundation so much and when I'm not wearing it I sort of miss the scent when it's applied! weird I know! It is probably a light to medium coverage, compared to the next one I will be talking about, it is thicker than the serum foundation from their 'healthy mix' range but I prefer it to the serum because I need more coverage than the serum gives me. I only have one small complaint with this and it's that sometimes I look too yellow, I don't know if it's just in certain lighting but I usually have trouble with foundations being too orangey but this is quite yellow on me and I am sure I have yellow toned to neutral skin tone, but to be honest I could be wrong, one thing is for sure, I'm certainly not pink toned and if I was I think this would look not so great on my complexion but for now I can get away with it!

Last but definitely not least is my Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation, and this is one of my new holy grail, can't live without products I think I just need to stock up on bottles and bottles, because this is full coverage and it just makes my skin look flawless. I start off with a small amount at a time as this is the best way for the foundation not to go cakey, and it covers all the blemishes on my face apart from quite a big one I've had recently but that is a problem I just can't do much about haha! This is amazing a full coverage foundation that lasts ALL day! And also is a great shade match for my skin tone and it is just under £8 it is incredible if you want a flawless finish this one definitely gives me it!

These are all amazing products which I adore and I think they would all be great for different people, the Rimmel Match Perfection is a great one if your starting out with makeup or don't need to have that much of a heavy coverage. The Bourgeois would be amazing for yellow toned skin and the Lasting Finish is amazing if you have blemishes you may want to cover or just want a full coverage foundation. They are all my favourites!

Have you tried any of these foundations, and What is your favourite drugstore foundation?

Fave Drugstore Lipsticks

I wanted to make a post today about my favourite drugstore lipsticks, mainly because I needed some pink and peachy lipsticks in my lipstick holders ready for the Spring/Summer season I know I am aware I'm super eager but after the Festive season I like to wear all my pink/peachy/nude lipsticks all the rest of the year round!

So not everyone has the budget for expensive makeup so I wanted to show you my favourite lipsticks from the drugstore, so I have so many favourites but these are one's I've been super duper obsessed with for a while now and with the weather cheering up (ironically it's gross weather today, but we'll ignore that) I thought I would share them with you so enjoy!

You can Find them here: 

Rimmel Kate Moss In 38 - www.boots.com

L'Oreal Collection Privee Lipstick In Eva's Nude - www.boots.com  

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 101 - www.boots.com


Firstly the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 38, is one I've adored throughout the Summer months but I have been using it ever since, I actually have a haul post when I bought them if you want to see I will link it below and I also have a Kate Moss Lipstick collection as they are absolutely some of my fave drugstore lipsticks. I will also link that below if you want to see them! It is so creamy but does last a considerable amount of time on the lips without needing to re apply too often. Which I love as also this colour looks so natural and gorgeous but it is such good value for money like all the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks you can check the range out here!

The Next is my trusty Eva's Nude lipstick from L'Oreal now these are just a game changer and the pigmentation is super good considering they are so moisturising, they feel slightly glossy but more like a lipstick than a gloss and they can add such a light colour to the lips or can be builable but either way they are such stunning lipsticks I have also tried J-Lo's nude but have lost it so I need to repurchase that soon too!

Last but not least is my Rimmel Kate Moss in 101 which is a nice pink shade it's a perfect Spring/Summer pink and as it is matte it lasts ages on the lips, also with these lipsticks from Rimmel, the Kate Moss range, they all smell so nice and I know that isn't why you should buy them but who want's an unpleasant lipstick scent?! No one! This one smells like watermelon to me and I am a sucker for products that smell sweet and this shade just suits so many people.

There is also a new range of Kate Moss lipsticks for Rimmel which are a collection of Nude lipsticks, which I am super eager to try and maybe you are too! You can browse the range Here!

My Christmas Makeup Of The Day - Everything Drugstore

Currently it is only 3 more sleeps until christmas day! and I am actually super excited! So I thought I would do a post on the makeup I plan on wear on Christmas day and this is it, carry on if you want to see everything I used! I used only drugstore products as I'm really loving so much from Boots and Superdrug at the moment! (UK Drugstore Beauty shops)

So I first used my new favourite foundation the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, which I featured in a Drugstore Makeup haul here which gives such a flawless base and gives a light to medium coverage. I use the shade 52 which is the second lightest shade.

I then used the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer, just to cover up my dark circles with the peachier shade in the duo and then the more yellow shade to cover any pesky blemishes! It's a really good concealer duo as both shades will be good for most skin tones, to correct and conceal.

I didn't use any bronzer as I think I don't need too much with the bold lip and dramatic eyes but you could use some on your skin! I used a No7 highlighting stick to make me skin glow and look really fresh, which I think is perfect for christmas day as I can go all out with the shimmery eye shadows and glowing skin!

I will then use the gorgeous Tanya Burr Hollywood palette which you can see below, I am just going to use the first light shade called 'Nude Delight' and Then the shade 'Enchantment' which is the most pretty gold shade, but it stays on the eyes so well with minimal fallout. If there is any I will just clear this up again with my soap and glory concealer. 

This part is also optional but I then used a tiny bit of 'Bookworm' just to deepen up my crease and to just pull the eye look together. 

I then will apply generous amounts of the Maybelline Lash Sensational after I have curled my lashes lots of times to create the look of some long and curly eyelashes. 

I then have two options for lip colours but if you want a pink or a lighter red shade instead of any of these I have a Christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve, so watch out for that my loves! 

So the first shade which I may use is an affordable drugstore lipstick is Rimmel Kate Moss in 107. It is a gorgeous dark berry colour which suits so many skin tones and is perfect for the colder season.

The second is the Tanya Burr lip gloss, mine is from her limited edition Gingerbread trio which had this lip gloss and Glittery Nail Polish and a nail file, this particular lip gloss is called 'Sugar and Spice' it has a little bit of colour to it, but nothing to out there so I may use a combination of both on Christmas Day. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and watch out for my christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve. 

Merry Christmas Everyone! 

Makeup Of The Day #3 - Drugstore Only

Today I'm sharing with you my makeup which I have been doing a lot lately, it's light and barely looks like I'm wearing any foundation or concealer which I love! It's perfect for those days when you're running errands and just want a little bit of makeup to make you feel good in yourself! I will link all products near the end of the post if you want to know shade names etc.

I am one of those people who doesn't have the best skin so whenever I go out I want to wear at least foundation or concealer, it'd be nice if I didn't have too all the time but I like covering up my blemishes as it makes me feel a lot more confident about myself, this is no way saying you should always go out with makeup though if someone wants or doesn't want to wear makeup they shouldn't have to it's completely down to personal preference! 

For my base I decided on the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum as it's a light coverage but does quite well in covering small blemishes and a bit of my redness. It is a lovely light but I would say can be built up a lot if that's what you desire in a foundation, although for more coverage the health mix foundation also by Bourjois is supposed to be very good too.

To cover any redness which is still visible I used the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer, I usually use this under the eyes too, but rarely use it to cover blemishes as it makes them stand out more as the concealer has a brightening affect. 

Then as blush I used The middle shade in my sleek blush palette in Sugar which is on the right, it's a really gorgeous shade for autumn and winter seasons so I have been using this palette a lot recently! The other shades are also gorgeous too!

I then used the makeup revolution palette on the right and just dusted the bronzer shade along where I would contour so just in the hollows of my cheeks and then blending out with a makeup brush. I then lightly dusted the highlighting shade in this palette just above where I put my bronzer.

I then applied lots of the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara which is super good for such a small price, it adds quite a lot of length which is what I definitely need and doesn't clump up my lashes! So I applied this until I was happy with the look of my lashes and then that was my Drugstore Makeup Of The Day done!

Everything I used:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - here
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - here
Sleek Palette in Sugar - here
Makeup revolution palette - here
Maybelline Great Lash - here

Hope you enjoyed reading! My last makeup of the day is here if you're interested in seeing that too!

Have you tried any of these drugstore products?!

If you have any Drugstore recommendations of your own please leave them below as I'd love to know!

Rimmel London Foundation Routine

I'm both a lover of foundations from both the drugstore e.g. Boots or Superdrug in the UK, but I also love high end foundations too, for example, Estee Lauder, Mac etc. But today I wanted to share my foundation and concealer routine using two of my favourite Rimmel London products.

So the two products I use regularly are: The Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in 103 True Ivory, and the Rimmel Wake me up concealer in Ivory. The concealer is the lightest shade in the range I think, but it's lighter than my skin tone and the foundation so it's perfect from creating that lightening effect under the eyes which also makes me look more awake, so it's a winner for me!

Firstly the foundation is a great match for me probably the best drugstore foundation colour wise for me, it blends in super well and there's no obvious foundation line. It offers I think a light to medium coverage but it covers spots and blemishes quite well for me so I rarely need to use much concealer on my pesky blemishes when I use this foundation. It lasts well for a drugstore foundation I think this is because of the consistency it isn't too thin or too thick but it's a nice in between. I love using it when I know I want a basically perfect colour match to my skin and want to look nice and glowy as without powdering this offers a nice natural glow but doesn't make my oily patches look too much!

The concealer I will then use under my eyes, I do the typical triangle shapes under both of my eyes and then blend it in put patting it in rather than blending it in, as this is the way I find works best for me and I don't need as much of the concealer under my eyes so cover the darker patches when I've had a late night! I rarely use it for blemishes at it's suppose to be a 'wake me up' effect concealer so I don't want to bring more attention to my blemishes but if I don't have any other concealer a.k.a my favourite-istt one for covering blemishes the collection lasting perfection which can also be bough from Boots or Superdrug in the UK. But I'm not sure if they stock it anywhere else unfortunately!

But if I don't this is when I will use this concealer, but I love this one for brightening my dark and tired eyes.

I hope at least one of you found this helpful if you're looking for some makeup base gems from the drugstore! 

These two are so much cheaper than high end foundations and concealers as these two work just as well in my opinion! 

Here are the products I use if you want to take a look at them a bit more:

Makeup Of The Day #1

Makeup is something I love to change up on a regular basis, I like to use a mixture of products and try not to stick to the same things all the time. So today I thought I would try some products in my collection that have been pushed to the back of the drawers for a few months. So without further ado these are all the products I used in today's MOTD-(makeup of the day!)

BASE:
Benefit Porefessional primer - This primer is just amazing, I've tried so many cheaper alternatives that claim to be as good as this but they don't seem to compare in my opinion, this one makes makeup apply so much smoother on the dry parts of my skin, which sometimes look worse when makeup is put on them but not this! I have loved it for ages and it's still going strong!

My Top Drugstore Foundations

Hello Girlies!

Today I thought as it's now summer, that I would show you my favourite drugstore/highstreet foundations, I will start by saying I have picked three foundations from Boots/Superdrug which are all around £10 or under. (also sorry for the awful foundation stains on the true match lid, they literally wouldn't come off the lid!)

Bourjois healthy mix serum foundation:
Probably my favourite foundation out of all of these. It offers a light to medium coverage, if built up it can be quite a good medium coverage but feels so lightweight on the skin, and doesn't look one bit cakey, even if it is set with a powder on top.

The Drugstore Products I've Used up

Carmex lip balm - £2.69

This is by far my favourite lip balm it is so moisturising and when your lips are super dry this is literally a god send! Amazing the whole year round as my lips can be dry in any season, it is perfect as it is small and a perfect hand bag sized product, can't live without it now and don't know how I ever did before I discovered it!

Barry M Lip gloss in Toffee - £4.49

I am a girl who both loves lipstick and lip gloss, as long as I've found the right ones for me. I am a huge fan of the Barry m lip glosses as they are the least sticky ones I have found and there are quite a few lovely colours which I am eyeing up too! This one in the shade Toffee is perfect for me over a nude lip and this I use a lot so I had to purchase another(hence why it doesn't look empty haha)

What's in my travel makeup bag!

This is going to be a quick post to show you all what I take with me in my travel makeup bag I will be linking all products I can find the links for, hope you enjoy nosing in my travel makeup bag! 

My Top Spring/Summer Lipsticks

This post is going to be my most used/reached for lipsticks, which I will be wearing throughout Spring and Summer 2015! I hope this blog post is of some interest to other ladies who are obsessed with lipstick because well I am and I'm not ashamed to admit it!

I have a mixture of Bright, Subtle and how I would describe as 'My lips but Nicer' choices for Spring/ Summer. I love pairing brighter lips with summery outfits which can sometimes need a lipstick to either brighten or keep it simple, I have made my choices around this as I usually pick lipsticks based upon my outfit!

1. Avon Extra Lasting lipstick in cappuccino - This lipstick on me is quite a dark nude, which I love!It looks simple and doesn't wash me out,
