Brand Focus: Soap and Glory Makeup

So a few weeks ago I did a Drugstore makeup haul and I included these two Soap and Glory products in that haul, and since I hadn't ever tried any makeup from them before I thought a blog post about them was in order!

If you want to check out my Drugstore Makeup haul you can find it on my blog here! 

So the Two products I picked out were the Kick Ass Concealer which is a concealer duo with two different concealers it has a peachy/orangey coloured one which I think is meant for use under the eyes as it covers dark areas very well. The other shade is a yellowy concealer which can be used to cover blemishes and any other imperfections. It also has a powder in the top section as there are two different compartments to the concealer pot, the powder is on the top layer and it is to set the concealer I'm guessing, I've only used the powder once with the concealers and it worked great but I'm loving using yellow powders to set my under eye concealer as it really brightens that area (which I really need at the moment!!) Overall this product is lovely and I love it for the under eyes but for blemishes I think I prefer using a liquid concealer like my trusty collection concealer which you can find here.

The second is the infamous Brow Archery! Mine is in the shade Love is Blonde which is a great match for my eye brows, as I find some are too dark or too light for my eye brows but this one is a perfect in-between, I love how natural the wax side is and its really good for creating longer tail to your brows. I also like the pencil side for filling them in but usually if I'm going out somewhere special but for natural everyday brows I just usually use the waxy side! I love how great this is and it's a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz which you can also find it here if you're interested in it!  

Finally I've tried some Soap and Glory Makeup and I am so impressed! For a drugstore brand they are amazing! I can't wait to see what else they have to offer! If you haven't tried anything from them I really recommend these two products!

Drugstore Haul & First Impressions - December

So If today you want to know what I'm haulin' from the beauty counters at boots this is it! I was super happy to get everything as these are all products I've heard so much about and I am rather happy now I have them all (not that I needed any more makeup) but it was necessary I wanted to try some new things out and it's especially even more justifiable as I repurchased a few items too!

So first I picked up my trusty Lash sensational as I just can't imagine life without it!  sad I know, but it's the real honest truth! it just adds so much length to my lashes and the length is definitely what I lack when it comes to my lashes, so this just adds life back into them and without it I feel like I have no lashes and with it, and well you get the jist it is amazing! and I don't think many mascara's will ever compare to this for me so sorry if you're sick of hearing about it but you'll know why if you've tried it!

The second thing is a beauty I must say, I am literally a highlighter addict at the moment I cannot stop highlighting my face it just gives me so much more life and I definitely love a glow along with my contour. It is a lovely stick form so is so easy to apply and blends so nicely, it's nice and buttery so the formula is easy to just apply and blend out with your fingers or a brush. I have been using it for a week or so now and love the way it looks and for extra glow I love setting it with a powder highlighter, I'm loving the sleek highlighter on top of this to create a gorgeous glow! (from the sleek contour kit)

I have wanted this little product for so so long and when Boots were advertising Nyx coming to Boots online I jumped at the chance as I was so excited to try a infamous matte lip cream from them. The colour of this one is 'Copenhagen' which is a lovely dark reddy purple, it is more purple than red but looks like a berry toned shade, which is perfect for the Christmass-y season! I have used it twice and it lasts so well but when I applied a lip balm before it stayed on without drying my lips too, so a beautiful lip product all in all!

So every girl needs a good coverage drugstore foundation right?! Well this one from Bourjois is definitely gonna be repurchased again and again! I had previously owned the serum version which was lovely but a friend told me to try this one if I wanted more coverage so that's just what I did. I was NOT disappointed I don't know how I managed without it! and have worn it every day since purchasing it so that says something. It lasts really well on my skin and doesn't cake up which most foundations do with me and I don't know how the finish just looks so flawless and natural without being too heavy too!  

The next two are Soap and Glory makeup items and surprisingly I haven't tried any makeup from them before these. I purchased the Brow Archery in 'Love is Blonde' and I love the tint side of the pen it just looks perfect as sometimes I like a lovely natural brow nothing too heavy and I can use both sides, the tint and crayon end, and it'll still make them look super even! I'm so super impressed with it! 

Lastly I needed a concealer and I wanted good coverage for some under eye bags as sleep is something I'm not getting much of lately and I wanted to reduce the appearance of bags and cover them, I wanted to try another Soap and Glory makeup product so that's why I chose the Kick Ass Concealer, it has a yellow toned concealer on one side and a more orange toned one on the other. They blend like a dream and I love having two different colours to correct my under eyes and it's handy to have two different shades!

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)
