My Everyday Makeup products | March 2016

I am a big fan of trying new makeup and lately I have tried quite a few new things, I wanted to share my everyday makeup products as I have been loving this combination of makeup for nearly a month now and I don't see it changing for a while! 

Firstly, I just want to apologise for being so absent from my blog recently, life has just got in the way. But I can't wait to send lots of new blog posts your way so watch this space! So enjoy this post!

So for foundation and concealer I have been loving the cheaper Highstreet/drugstore base makeup products as high end foundations and concealers can really break the bank and I think sometimes the cheaper version can work just as well it's just a case of trial and error. 

The two I am loving are the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation as it has a really nice full coverage and helps to cover up blemishes, it covers a lot so it's a great one for covering acne, but when I have some blemishes which you can still see that is where I apply the collection concealer, this one is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which I'm sure you know about especially if you're from the UK!

I have been loving using my Makeup Revolution Contour Palette next and I am super obsessed with using this, there is the most gorgeous cool toned colour perfect which I use for contouring my pale skin it's amazing and makes it look like I have cheekbones without looking fake. And I also love the banana shade in the palette for setting my under eye makeup. I am such a huge fan of Makeup Revolution they make the most amazing affordable makeup and they have definitely been one of my most reached for drugstore brands for makeup this year!

I then apply my blush which is the Benefit Rockateur which is a pretty rose goldy shade which has a bit of shimmer, I love it and it's definitely one of my fave products from Benefit. It is a lovely flush when applied and just makes me feel like I look so much healthier with this rosy glow on my cheeks!

I then took, my favourite product at the moment, the Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter from The Balm, it is just incredible, so pigmented and gives the prettiest intense highlight ah it's something I cannot live without in my makeup routine at the moment and a few days ago when I was in a rush and didn't apply it I missed wearing it all day! It is a lovely colour too, the perfect mix between cream/gold like a champagne colour, but it just makes me feel so glowy and I think it just makes my makeup every day to be honest, and when it catches the light it's just beautiful! if you love to glow then try this girls!

Lastly I just applied lots of coats of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara yes it is by far my favourite, and it always just adds so much length which I definitely need. I need to try the waterproof one though as I find waterproof mascara's keep a curl better and I don't think any mascara could beat this one but I way as well give it a go!

Also I would love recommendations on makeup products you're loving too!

Is there one makeup product you use everyday without fail?!

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!

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:

Mini Haul | Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks

These Lipsticks are SO Gorgeous! They are the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks, and I bought them recently from Superdrug, for around £4 each on an offer, which was a total steal as I have four other Kate Moss Lipstick's which you can take a look at in my Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick's Collection here, which I will have to update soon as I have these beauties to add!

So the one on the Left hand side is the number '03' it's a gorgeous muted pinkish brown/ it is a lovely nude colour and I feel it really complements my skin tone well and I'm sure would complement a lot of skin tones too, as I have been using them for a few weeks now but took the pictures previously (but who doesn't like taking pictures of their new untouched makeup haha am I right) They are both so pigmented and smell amazing for drugstore lipsticks as I've had a few that I hated the smell so much I can barely use them! *cough Bourjois rouge edition velvet's*

The one on the Right hand side is '38' which I have heard a lot about this year especially from beauty guru's on YouTube I have been lusting over it for ages and ages and I'm so happy I finally have it and I'm not disappointed I'm been so obsessed with using it as it looks so pretty and complements my lip shape, I've only been using it for a few weeks and within the first two applications I knew it was love... 

Left To Right - Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in '03', Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in '38',

Here are the links below to them:

As I previously said I love the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks and they are the Brand I always go back to and they never fail to impress me with the quality and how beautiful all the lipsticks apply and last, they are probably my favourite drugstore lipsticks along with the L'Oreal Eva's nude lipstick! *heart eyes emoji* but they are so comparable to Mac, and other high end lipsticks I have used and they are less than half the price or even a third of some expensive lipsticks I own!

Have You Ever Tried Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks If so, what are your favourites?!
