Drugstore Products I loved through Summer 2015


I thought today would be a perfect day to make a blog post all about the products I have been loving throughout Summer which is well and truly over well for having nice weather and wearing summery clothes it is! for me anyway! For the past few days I have been cold everyday! And it keeps raining at the most annoying times! ugh one step closer to winter I suppose!

So I've been loving a primer, foundation, concealer, a contour kit and a mascara, all of which are drugstore so are easy to get hold of for a great, affordable price too. But just because I have been using them a lot this Summer doesn't mean I wont carry on using them, because I certainly will!


So the primer I have been using has been the Body Shop's Instablur which I think really does make my makeup last all the bit longer that I need it too, which has been perfect this Summer as with having combination skin, I have needed this in my oily parts where makeup seems to slip off haha! It has been a godsend to me and I wish I tried it sooner.
Body Shop's Instablur Primer - £14

The foundation and concealer I have been loving are both from Rimmel London, one of my favourite drugstore brands!

The foundation is the Match perfection foundation and I love this one for a good medium coverage I would say with the amount I use anyway it gives me a medium coverage, I love the consistency too which is a weird thing to say but some foundations are too watery but this one is a good in between and offers good coverage for small imperfections and blemishes if you are looking for a foundation like that I would try this one!
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - £7.99

I am loving the wake me up concealer for just concealing dark circles under my eyes, but it doesn't work well on spots for be as it is a brightening concealer and has little shimmers in, and I definitely don't want my blemishes sticking out more!
Rimmel wake me up concealer - £5.49

The Maybelline Lash sensational has been my lash favourite and it makes me lashes appear so much more lengthened and volumised, I tried this after I used a small sample of the Benefit Roller Lash and it's supposed to be a dupe but I think this one is SO much better! It is amazing and it does beat most high end mascara's I have tried and It just makes your eyelashes so much bigger, and I have such short lashes I find it hard to find a mascara which will lengthen and add volume to thicken my lashes, but this one has it all!
Maybelline Lash sensational Mascara - £7.99

Last but not least is the Seventeen contour kit, which I recently featured in my Seventeen Makeup Haul go give that a read if you'd like to see what else I got and also see the inside of the kit! But it is a lovely little contour kit which just has a contour and highlight shade, and I must admit i have only been using it for maybe two weeks or less but I love both the highlight shade and the contour shade, as it can be built up to your desired contour look, it doesn't look too orangey or too brown toned, it just looks lovely, the only thing I would say is that I have the shade medium and I do have to build it up a few times, but for the price I love it and I really enjoy using it.
Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit - £5.99

My Current Lip Obsessions

These 4 beauties are the lipsticks I am currently obsessed with and if I wear to wear a lipstick tomorrow it would 100% be one of these! I am loving a mixture of different colours lately and as you can see these are all very different to each other.

The colours above are L-R: L'Oreal Eva's Nude Lipstick, Makeup Revolution Lip Lava In Tremor, Maybelline Colour Sensational in Tantalizing Taupe, Ted Baker Lipstick in Red(has no name)
So the colours I have chosen here are a mix of nudes/pinks and reds, this being nudes/pinks are my favourite to wear and I find you can wear them with anything and they won't clash. On the other hand Red lipstick is not usually something I go for and is a little out of my comfort zone but I love this Ted Baker one!

Makeup Haul | Seventeen Cosmetics

So I'm Back with a makeup haul! Who doesn't love them eh?! 
So I was lucky enough to win an amazing giveaway and received all these wonderful products and also a seventeen mascara with I actually forgot to put in this picture (I'm super forgetful and have the memory worse than a goldfish I swear!) and I'm so so grateful as everything looks amazing!
So the two products I was most looking forward to are the contour kit and the glow highlighters and I have swatched them both and I'm thinking they could be my new favourites.
So the products  I got were:

Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour kit - This contour kit is a contour/bronzing shade and a highlighter duo, so is perfect for on the go and creating the look of cheekbones (which I don't have) So I love it because it defines your cheeks and I do find it actually slims my face down which I originally thought was a myth so I am happy about that! Buy here - Boots.com
Skin Wow 3 Way highlighter - I am so excited about this product as I'm loving highlighter recently, I find that and contouring really works magic on my face and I love doing this step in my makeup routine, I can't wait to try it! Buy here - Boots.com
Skin Wow Tan Liquid Glow - This looks quite scary, but when I swatched it, the highlight blended so easily and a little goes a long way so don't use to much or you'll look like a disco ball! Nonetheless I'm excited to try it out! Buy here - Boots.com
Seventeen Wet Look Lacquer Liquid Eyeliner - I am just getting my confidence with doing eyeliner and the nib on this one looks really think and dare I say it quite easy to do. I can't wait to try and will keep you all updated with it. Buy here - Boots.com
Lip Crayon in Knockout - Now this is such a pretty Autumnal lip colour which I think I will really love this autumn/winter as I don't actually have many lipsticks this colour or even that similar too. It looks lovely and applies easily. Buy here - Boots.com
Seventeen Cheek Stamp - This product is the least easy to apply it comes out very powdery, but is such a lovely coral colour, I will keep giving it a go as I love the concept of it being a stamp so will keep you updated here on my blog. Buy here - Boots.com
Brows that Brow Kit - I think this looks like such a handy little kit, you can see what this looks like inside in the below picture, I'm not such if it will be too dark for me but we will just have to see, I like the fact it includes a pencil as Some people will like to use a pencil before filling in their brows, I also love the packaging! So sleek and pretty! Buy Here - Boots.com
Seventeen Falsifeye HD Mascara - I feel so silly for missing this one out of the picture but I suppose this happens when you quickly want to take some blog photos because of quick lighting changes! But anyway I had to try this mascara straight away because of it's claims and oh my I love it! It creates the look of more full lashes which makes them look more false but they don't look too spidery or in your face, I just LOVE this one! Buy here - Boots.com

I hope you all enjoyed seeing my new Seventeen products, Can't wait to try them!

My Current Skincare and Bodycare Favourites

These three have been my complete favourites! During the past few months my skin has been getting so dry and I've needed to use more products targeted at dry skin and these are the three I'm so happy with now! So let me tell you a bit more about them!

They are all from the high street and are a mixture of products from Sainsburys/Superdrug and Lush, so all quite affordable and easy to get hold of it you want to give any of them a go. Hope you enjoy seeing my Current Skin/Body care Favourites.

Zoella Scrubbing me Softly body scrub - £7.00 
This scrub is gentle on the skin and smells so lovely This is my body favourite of the three products I use this on my arms, legs, elbows and knees and it leaves them feeling soft and supple it gets red of the dead skin(I know lovely) that we all will get over time and leaves your skin feeling nourished locks in some moisture which is good as I don't feel I need to moisturise straight after which is good because lets be honest moisturising your body can be a bit of a chore!

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!
