October Empties

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation | I used this up ages ago but it was at the bottom of my empties bag! I'd love to reuse this again and repurchase a bottle as the coverage was good and it was one of the first foundations I actually enjoyed. I just wish it was less pricey for the ml it is. 

Rimmel 25hr Lasting Finish Foundation | As above, I enjoyed using this foundation and it lasted a long time. I liked the coverage and it's a good bargain buy. The shade range is also quite good.

COLOR Mascara | This isn't quite empty yet but I've had it a while so it needs throwing away. I didn't really like this mascara but it wasn't really a drugstore buy, it just came in a New Look set that I received months ago.

Maybelline Cats Eyes Mascara | The wand isn't pictured as I've cleaned and kept the wand for future macara's. I loved using this mascara as it fanned lashes out and kept them separated. I need to repurchase!

Benefit Porefessional Sample | I've LOVED using this! I've never tried anything like this before so I was happy to try a free sample that I received in Boots. I definitely want to try a dupe or a full size of this as it went really well with my foundation.

Montagne Jeunesse Mud/Olive Masks | A big thankyou to Montagne Jeunesse for sending me these to try. I loved using them and I've put so many on my stocking filler list! They suited my skin perfectly - thanks!

October Favourites

PRIMARK £1 LIPSTICK

KATE MOSS 107 LIPSTICK

NATURAL COLLECTION CHOCOLATE EYESHADOW

THE BODY SHOP WATERMELON LIPBALM

W7 EYELUST MASCARA

Hello there beautiful!

Today I'm doing my favourites for October. This seems to be my first favourites in ages.. but it's not because I'm *luckily* being consistent with these posts...why does it seem that way!?

As I've been at work I've been sticking to some of the same products so I don't mess up my routine and I know what works for each day BUT I have actually been trying and testing new things and finding new loves, so here goes!

Primark £1 Lipstick | I can only rave about this shade as I only have one. I'm not going into too much detail because I've already done a review which you can find if you wanted to have a read. I love this lipstick because it lasts all day and I mean, all day... it's smooth to apply and it's the perfect barbie pink. People always ask 'oo, what pink are you wearing?!' and it stays put, doesn't bleed and doesn't go too try when it settles during the day.

Kate Moss 107 | The pink 107, not the red one! I love this and I always mention it, I wear this and the Primark lippie together for work and they're a dream team! This doesn't last all day by itself but with the darker pink they're perfect together. I love the shade of this and I love how I always have it with me. Perfect.

Natural Collection Chocolate Eyeshadow | I always use this for work too. I use it with a nice line of black shadow for definition and a darker brown in my crease with this as a base. It's a lovely light shade and works well for everyday. Great for £2!

Body Shop Watermelon Lipbalm | I absolutely LOVE the scent of this. I love how I use it as a base for my punchy pink lipsticks and I love how it hydrates my lips as a base and on its own. The Body Shop always seem to do well - I love you!

W7 Eyelust Mascara | When I first bought this and saw the wand I thought it'd be really clumpy and not lengthening - if that makes sense but after using it for a while *and everyday for work!* I've come to realise that it's a brilliant mascara with everything I'm looking for in a mascara. It's clump free, lengthening and it defines my lashes perfectly.

Autumn Beauty Products

COLLECTION PRIVEE NUDE RANGE - LOREAL 
BARRY M GELLY RANGE - BARRY M 
SLEEK BLUSH - SUEDE - SLEEK
CREME PUFF LIPGLOSS - COLLECTION
SIMPLE MOISTURISER - SIMPLE
LOREAL PLEASURE ME RED LIPSTICK - LOREAL
B. GLOWING SHIMMER BLOCK - BRONZE 108 
NICOLA ROBERTS EYESHADOW

Hello everyone - I hope you're doing okay.
Today's post is all about Autumn beauty. I really like Autumn colours and so I think Autumn beauty is perfect for me! I love oranges, browns, bronzes, reds, nudes....I also love the colours of all the trees when autumn arrives.

Collection Privee Range | Doutzen
At the moment I'm lusting over this range. I want the nail polishes and all the lippies, purely because I'm really into the nude colour palette - as you probably know, I've been mentioning it a lot..
I think this lipstick would be brilliant in the Autumn if you don't want a power pout with plums or reds. I think it'd look great with a jumper and boots, it's that sort of shade that I love. 

Gelly Nail Paint 
I still have to try the Gelly range but while I was browsing nail polishes for autumn, I fell in love with this one. I love deep purples for autumn, even though I prefer brights and the gelly range is a perfect way to settle into the darks!

Sleek Blush | Suede 
As well as the Gelly range, I'm still yet to try anything Sleek. They look like an amazing brand to try with an amazing colour and product range so I thought I'd include one of their ever blogged about blushers. Suede seems like a beautiful colour for autumn as it's a beautiful brown.

Creme Puff 
I love this colour and I'm a proud owner of a Miners one! I love the formula and they're not overly drying but in the winter you may need a little lipbalm as a base. I thought this shade would be lovely in autumn.

Simple Hydrating Moisturiser 
I definitely need to look after my skin a bit more. In the autumn/winter I know many bloggers with sensitive skin start to get dry or start to see their skin change in the colder months so ofcourse I think this is a great addition to your skincare regime. 

Loreal Pleasure Me Red Lippie  
I really liked the look of this on Superdrug's website because it's a beautiful autumny red. It's not too ruby red and not too plum or brown - it's a beautiful dark red and I can imagine this looking beautiful in the nighttime too.

B Glowing Shimmer Block 
This instantly made me get a notepad out and add to my wishlist! I love the colour of this and I love the multiple colours. I'm definately going to pick this up in store and I need to see reviews on it. You could use this in many ways such as contour, highlight or add definition. I can imagine this looking great on any skintone.

Dainty Doll Dark Brown Shadow
I own this one and it looks lovely in the crease or outer corners. You could even use it for brows if they were quite dark. 
I like this colour and I'll definitely be using it for Autumn.

Thoughts On | Rimmel Kate Lipsticks | My Collection

 Hello there gorgeous girlies!
So sorry tonight's post is quite late on. I usually schedule for 7.30pm UK time but tonight's post wasn't scheduled and I've been working all day so I just found time tonight to do my biggest passion and blog for you all!

If you remember a few months back, these used to fill my monthly wishlists. I always loved the idea of Kate's lippies and everyone blogs about them on a daily basis. I think Rimmel lipstick *and the brand altogether* have to be my favourites and if I'm looking or lusting over the idea of a new shade I will always walk over to Rimmel's stand for quality, value and inexpensive beauty buys purely because I know they work. 

I haven't *unfortunately* tried all of the Kate brand just because I've been seeing how they work and how I like them first - now I truly know I love them I'll head down to Boots and pick up all the shades. 
For tonight's post though I'll go through my small collection and explain my favourites - by the picture I'm sure you can tell which one I carry in my Mary Poppins bag....

Kate Lipstick | Black Bullet | Shade 05

I purchased 05 and 02 on the same day and found it hard to differentiate between the two. I actually thought they were the same shade - but no!

The black ones are the MATTE range so this lipstick is matte. With this lipstick I liked the pinky shade. I liked that it wasn't as bright as 02 and I liked that it was a shade that I don't actually own - it's quite different.
I was really excited to try this lippie as the colour is gorgeous and pinks are my favourite. When I applied it (without a balm) I did find it hard to push the lipstick onto my lips and apply - it did feel very drying and very matte. I do have to apply a balm under this because I feel like it wouldn't look right for work and I'd probably be a bit conscious! All in all though I do like this lipstick but the red bullet lipsticks are my favourite.

Kate Lipstick | Black Bullet | Shade 02
Same review as above, I really loved this shade because it's a fuschia pink and definately the pinks I go for. I don't have the smallest shape lips in the world so I really enjoy piling on the pink because I feel like they suit me best!:-)
I felt like this lipstick didn't 'fill in the lines' that well - I felt like it needed a lip brush to apply it, if not it didn't really look right? This one is very drying but I do love it; it's just not a lipstick you can throw on 5 minutes before you leave the house.

Kate Lipstick | Red Bullet | Shade 101
My absolute GO TO! You wouldn't believe how much I LOVE this lipstick. I've been using it every single day and it's the perfect one for work. It's so sleek and lovely and applies like a dream. It applies so smooth and it's kind of like you've applied some lip gloss over the top; that's how smooth it is. It doesn't sink into the cracks or the oops bits of your lips and it lasts quite long. I work on average 6 hours and it lasts all that time and only gets kind of dry 4 hours after. I really enjoy to put my MAC Minaj lippie as a base of this because then it really does last all day! I've enjoyed using this and I always carry it around with me as I know it suits everything I wear and my everyday smoky eye. As you can tell by the picture - the difference of usage and the different formulas. 
I also find that the red bullet collection shades are more me and bright than the black bullet packaging - although I will try them all.
Rimmel..you've done it again.. I love you!

Kate Lipstick | Black Bullet | Shade 13
A different colour in my range is this bright orange. I have a few other oranges in my collection but they're not as vibrant. Same review as the other black range but I think this one blends a lot better. I think this is probably one I need to use more and I'll get back to you.

Collective Haul

Hello there gorgeous!

Haul time again and today I have a few bits and bobs for you. These things haven't been picked up recently but they've been bought a few weeks back. I will have a haul soon with all the recent things I've bought but me with wages means a catch up!

Asda Skin System Cleanser

I bought this a while back because it was inexpensive and I wanted to try a few more skincare things. After using it for a while I'm not overly keen. It's a milk base which doesn't suit oily skin and so I feel that when I use it, it doesn't really remove makeup and make my skin feel smooth, fresh, awake and clean. Thumbs down...

Wilko Alcohol Base Cleanser - Tea Tree

Thumbs up! I love this cleanser. I always get it and I always alternate between the green Tea tree range and the blue normal range. I really like this and when I use it I can tell it works because my skin stings - this is a good thing though, I'm not allergic ahaha!

Wilko Tea Tree Face Wash

Same as above. When I'm in the bath this is great to remove all my makeup from the day or if it's a makeup free day it freshens my face up and makes me feel smooth and clean.

Tea Tree Spot Stick

I won't go into too much detail with this because I want to review it separate but lets just say i wouldn't buy again....

Sinful Colours Irish Green

My first SC! I've always taken a look to their inexpensive boots stand but I've just never made a purchase. I passed Poundland weeks back and came across a huge row of these so I bought this very gorgeous shade!

Rimmel Shout Out Loud 

Beautiful colour - my reason for purchasing!

Rimmel Peppermint

Another gorgeous shade, probably more suited to Spring but I've been wearing it lately anyway.

Kate Lippies 13, 2, 5.

Beautiful pink/orange shades. I've been trying these all out lately so I'll let you know what I think separately. I love these shades.

Champagne Pink Fuzzy Jumper | Primark

Primark have a lot of these in store lately and I'm obviously going to get them all. I loved this colour and champagne pinks are lovely! This is a winter staple.

Brown Tassle Shorts

Very impulse buy.. these were £1 in Primark so I obviously had to get them. They've lovely and warm but I couldn't wear these now , people would call the local helpline... 

Pink Peplum

I have a mint green one so I had to get this - £2 in Primark and it's a lovely top to pop on in S/S.

September Empties

Tonight's post is a well needed empties one!

I've not been doing empties for a while but they're starting to build up now so I have many products to chat about with you. 

Baylis and Harding bath foam - I really loved using this and I've actually been out of this for a while but it's been in the bottom of my empties bag. I really like the scent of this and I have a few mini's of this to use up.

Elemis Face Scrub - Mixed thoughts of this, it's an okay scrub but pointless for the price. I didn't notice anything different to my £1 one so I'm not repurchasing. The smell was lovely, though. 

Timotei Pure Shampoo I enjoyed using this and it worked well with my hair. I'd like to repurchase this but I'm trying other shampoo's at the moment.

Face wipes An everyday favourite to remove my makeup.

Derma V10 Cocoa Butter - Very strong scented, thick and moisturising and it's from Poundland! I'll repurchase because it's longlasting for a cheaper price tag.

Soap And Glory Heel Genius This is great, not sure if I'd purchase again but it lasted me a long time and it makes feet slightly smoother.

Just Bathe Bubble Bath I love the smell of this and it was a lovely gift set to receive. It's brilliant for bubbles because a little bit makes a lot!

XO

September Favourites

Hello! Very quick favourites post for you today. I don't have many, just a few things to talk through!

Natural Collection Eyeshadow Duo I've been loving this recently and it's been good for work. I use the brown shade in my outer corners and for liner with an angled brush and I love the pale shade for an eyeshadow base and to highlight brows. 

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara I love this. I've also been using this everyday for work and it's amazing. Someone on twitter said this is a good Benefit dupe so there you go!

It evens out my lashes perfectly and is so lightweight to wear. Rimmel, I love you!

Chit Chat Juicy Lipstick Perfect moisturizing lipstick. It lasts quite long on the lips and is a lovely daytime shade. I have all shades of these - perfect for £1!

October Wishlist

Hello there!
Today's post is a wishlist one. I feel like I haven't done one of these in ages - I seriously think this month has gone by so slow!
Last month I managed to bag myself a job - I've already had my first wages and I didnt' actually purchase anything overly exciting! I'll be doing a haul soon so you'll see what I picked up.
Now as I have a job, I feel like I'm able to buy many more 'high end' items which I'm definitely considering after Christmas. 
This month many new releases have hit the shelves so I've actually kept up!

Body Shop Honeymania Range I really want to try the new range at The Body Shop, I went in there the other day and the new range looks really good. I actually got an invite to the event for the release and I couldn't make it!:-(
Island Fantasy Fragrance As I work in the Perfume Shop I've been smelling allsorts of fragrances. Although this is a fresh summer scent I still want it - it's gorgeous!
Collection Privee Lipstick Range I really want to collect all of these. They're a new, nude range of lippies and I really like the colour range. They're a celebrity range too!
Loreal Cleansing Water I'm sure you're all sick and tired of seeing this on blogs but I'm yet another blogger that wants to try this! It's had many mixed reviews but it's something I'd like to try in the terms of skincare.
MUA Matte Lipsticks MUA have brought out new lipsticks and they're all matte formulas. Mixed reviews but I'll try them because 5 lipsticks for £5 is brilliant. I think they're either going to be really drying or a perfect formula....
A YSL Lipstick Now as I have wages, I'm going to treat myself! Not sure what lippie I want from them though....

August Empties

IMPULSE HOT PINK SHOWER GEL
SURE DEODORANT
SKIN THERAPY CLEANSER/TONER
SOAP AND GLORY GIRLIGO
KIWI SHOWER GEL

Hi!

Empties time again...I seriously can't believe how fast August went. It seems like 5 minutes ago I was doing July empties...

As always, I have 5 items to show you and give a quick opinion on,

Impulse Shower Gel | I loved using this. A lot. It smells so lovely but I don't think it smells like the spray? Opinions? It lathers so nice on the skin, not too thick and doesn't leave residue. I love the bottle and how much you get for your money - a definite repurchase.

Sure Deodorant | I've left palmolive behind and moved to Sure... no idea why, it was on offer! Smells lovely and keeps me fresh all day, though.

Skin Therapy Cleanser | This was so nice to remove makeup residue. It didn't leave my skin feeling oily or greasy and it took away the oils that weren't needed. It lasted me a while, too and is really inexpensive to buy. I love the gel formula - repurchase for definite! 

Soap And Glory Girligo | I didn't like this for ages and I hardly used it - it's been sat on my desk for absolute ages. But, back in the Summer when it was hot I thought I'd try it to cool me down, seeing as it has a scent it might have worked - it did! It cooled me down and it smells like the traditional S&G products. It moisturizes and cools and sets into the skin so well. I've already repurchased!

Kiwi Shower Gel | I got this in a set ages ago and I've only just finished it. It smells a bit like pear drops rather than kiwi but it was okay to use to freshen up!

I hope you enjoyed reading this months empties, nothing too exciting this month!

Speak to you all on Sunday!

NYX 78 Colour Palette | Review & Thoughts

A Huge Collective Haul

Hello gorgeous! 

A very exciting post today... It's a collective haul!

These things have been collected over a 3/4 week period, I'm so surprised at how much I've bought because normally, I never seem to buy the latest bits and bobs but lately, I've been buying things soon as they've hit the shops.

This post will be very talkative and picture heavy, so if you're in a reading mood, you're in luck.. get comfy and I'll ramble on!

clothing | After posting this, I've realised how many clothing items I need to purchase! I'm always browsing the isles of boots now a days so I need to pop in to H&M instead... 
For clothing bits and bobs I've picked up two Primark items. I always pop in there and they had a sale on ages ago so I picked up these two for £5 each. I love minty greens and so this thin peplum can go with leggings and a jacket in Autumn, even though the colour is very much Spring like, I love mint greens so I had to pick this up.
The tassle top isn't really me but tassles have been 'in' this year so I picked this peachy/beige colour top up with black tassles, this will go well with boots or something in the autumn and it's quite long/floaty so I'll probably look twice the size - but nevermind, I'll find a way to style it!

Makeup Face Products | 

Wake Me Up Face Shimmer | Excited to try this, such a bargain for £1 instead of the ridiculous £5 price tag. 

Collection Foundation | I'll be using this as a concealer because it's very light but I'm a bit unhappy that I bought this from Poundland and it's half used... nevermind.

Wake Me Up Foundation | I've read all the reviews and I've finally bought it. I can't wait to use as it looks like a great foundation. It's also quite darker than my Match Perfection one which I like. I love looking tanned instead of a shade lighter..

Bath/Body | 

Baylis and Harding Soaps | I only like Body Shop soaps so I'm looking forward to trying these. I prefer the mandarin soap better than the pink one but they both look like great products so I can't wait to try.

Ted Baker Butterfly Range Scrub | This smells lovely and I needed a new scrub so I'm also looking forward to using this. I love the butterfly range.

Tesco Bath Collection | Shimmer Lotion, Body Polish and Bath crystals. I've never tried all three of these so something different in my collection. Most excited to try the crystals.

Sanctuary Items | I've picked up some mini's and a bigger size body lotion. I love the body lotions and the scents of Sanctuary items so I'm looking forward to trying the bigger size lotion. I've never tried a scrub from them so I can't wait to use this. I've used a wash in the past and I've used this one up already - I love them.

Champneys Minty Spritz | I've loved using this in the Summer! It's so fresh and minty and refreshes you if it's warmer weather. It's a bit of an impulse buy but I enjoyed using the Soap and Glory girligo so I decided to give this a go. I think it's going to be lovely in the colder months too.

The Body Shop Bits | After buying the Raspberry Body Butter I decided to opt for a lightly scented one. The Vitamin E one seemed different and has a really light scent. I picked up the strawberry wash and satsuma lotion too.

Baylis Minis | I love these Minis from B&H, I like the mandarin scent more than the pink coloured bottles but these are so handy in my little bath collection. They lather well too, so they last quite long considering they come in mini versions.

Haircare |

Gliss Asia Straight Shampoo&Conditioner | I know, I know.. I said I disliked Gliss items a short while ago but I really liked the look of the Asia Straight range so I thought why not.. they smell amazing too!

Eye Makeup |

Dainty Doll Shadows | I picked up the beige base which I've used already - it seems pretty good! I also picked up the dark brown shadow which is super pigmented and smooth on the eyes. 

Natural Collection Brown Duo | I've never tried a Natural Collection duo but I bought this and I love it. It's a makeup bag essential instead of carrying round multiple shadows. It's pigmented, considering it's only £2 and the shades are great for everyday. 

Rimmel Union Jack Eyeshadow Palette | I saw this in Poundland and it looks great! I love olivey/bronzey shades so I'm excited to use this.

Rimmel Traffic Stopping Shadow Trios | I love these two trios, I love green/olive shadows as I've mentioned and I love eyeshadows like these that arn't based in a pan..if that makes sense? I also like using grey's occasionally so I love the pinky/grey trio. 

Rimmel Mono Eyeshadow | I love browns, they're my go to shades. I picked this shadow up in Poundland and I've actually seen these in stores but didn't bother with them. I can't wait to use this and I'm hoping it's pigmented.

Lash Accelerator Mascara, Rimmel | This is amazing. I absolutely love it. It's become my go to mascara. I love the wand and how it makes my lashes look. Yay, Rimmel's done it again!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam | £5 introductory offer - can't go wrong. It's a new mascara and the wand is very different. I prefer the mascara mentioned above but this is fairly okay. I'll review this soon.

Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara | Never seen this in shops so I was made up when I saw it in Poundland. It's a basic wand, but works wonders.

Lip Products | 

No7 High Shine Lipgloss, Smile | Such a different applicator but such a brilliant lipgloss. It's sticky, yes - but I love the shade too much to care about the formula. I've never thought about a No7 gloss before so I decided to purchase. I love this and I might even pick up more shades. 

Primark Lip Crayon | I've mentioned millions of times before how much I enjoy using the Poundland ones so I decided to get one from Primark. It's very smooth, pigmented and glossy - for £1.50 I'll definately pick any more shades up.

Rimmel Apocalips, Nova | Finally! I've said so many times how much I want one, now I need to get round to using! I bought this in July and I still haven't used, but there will be a review on the blog sometime extra soon. I love this shade a lot.

Miners Matte Factor, Cappuccino | I love this, it's such a plain shade but looks really pretty with a light eye. I bought this around the start of July and I need to get round to using it more. It's not that drying, either.

Baby Lips, Cherry Me | I got one! I've used mine once and got it at the start of August, it's great. I've read so many negatives on this but I love mine and want the whole collection. I love the taste and it leaves a subtle shade on my lips which I love. 

Primark Lipstick, Bright Pink | I bought this for £1. It's a gorgeous bright pink but I haven't used it yet to see if it appears on my lips that way. I think it may be a bit drying so I might have to put my baby lips underneath!

Other Face items | The gorgeous people at Montagne Jeunesse sent me these face freebies which I can't wait to try! I got a mud pac, a passion peel off and an olive face mask. I'm so excited to try and use their Mondays for Me app while I'm at it!

Collection Mosaic Glow | I also bought this mosaic bronzer the other week which is amazing! I've used it a few times already and I'm definitely going to review it. I love the shade and the shimmer and it's only around the £2 mark. Brill!

Nail Polishes |

OPI Black Shatter | Purchased from Poundland. I hate shatter polishes but for £1 I had to pick it up. They did loads of other shatter shades and I've seen a blog post this week on normal polishes from OPI in Poundland so I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Rimmel 60 seconds polish, Deliciously Dark | I'm definitely looking forward to Autumn so I picked this polish up. It's a beautiful aubergine shade. A bit black, bit with a purple tint. I'm not a lover of darks but this is a lovely shade.

Colour Show Polishes, Midnight Taupe/Green With Envy | An Autumn shade and a spring shade! I've recently applied Midnight Taupe and my mum's been rocking the minty shade this week! I love the whole colour selection of Colour show polishes and I'll always collect more but I don't like the gloopyness of them and the time they take to set. That's the only downside!

aaaaaaaaaaaand breathe... I've finally showed you everything I've purchased over the weeks! It's taken me a few hours to complete this post so it's satisfied my boring afternoon.. I hope you enjoyed!

Have you tried any of these items?

My Favourite Drugstore Products #2

2TRUE BRONZER
CHIT CHAT HIGHLIGHTER
NATURAL COLLECTION LIPSTICKS
LA COLORS JUMBO LINER
MISS SPORTY MASCARA

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I remember doing this post quite a while ago, obviously with different items and I really enjoyed scouring my makeup drawers for things I love using. 

All of these things are actually under £5 so if you're looking for an inexpensive item to purchase I recommend all these products.

2True All Over Bronzing Powder | £1.99 | Superdrug

I use bronzer all the time. I use it even if it's not summer and I always use bronzer over a blusher. I've been loving this one recently - at first, I was sceptical. I thought this bronzer would be muddy and a bit too 'brown'. Infact, I need to build it up slightly to get a visible contour or a really bronzed cheek. I hate when I load my brush up too much and I look like a clown so this works perfectly for achieving a pretty glow instead of an orange face! I really love this and it's so inexpensive.

Chit Chat Highlighter | £1 |Poundland 

I never used a highlighter before this. I never really thought I'd be able to work it but I love using a highlighter and always love applying if my face looks a bit dull or if the suns out so I shimmer slightly. I really love the way this blends - you do need to work fast because if not it sets and can't blend well but if you work fast, you'll get the look you want. This is a pinky toned highlighter which is very pretty!

Fabulous Lash Mascara | £1.99 | Boots

I'm not very keen on the Miss Sporty brand, even though it's inexpensive. After trying this I really do want to try more of their things! I love using this it's amazing for bottom and top lashes and doesn't clump. I've raved about this too many times before so you know how much I love this!

LA Colors Jumbo Eye Pencil | £1 | Beauty Base

This is a new addition to my collection but I've used it regularly. I love the way it blends and I love the way it applies. It doesn't smudge very easy through the day, but it's smudgable for the look you want. 

Natural Collection Lipsticks | £1.99 | Boots

Natural Collection have been a small love of my for a long time. I started out with their nail polishes and then went on to lipglosses and loose powders but recently, I've delved into their lipsticks. This is the only lipstick I've tried of theirs so maybe I'm cheating but after trying this one I'd love to try more and I really enjoy using this one. It's a nudey/brown shade that is perfect for everyday and although they don't last 12 hours they give a pretty wash of colour.. I really love these.

Have you tried any of these products? 

What drugstore things do you love?

July Empties

Hello girls!

What a slow week it's been. I can't believe it's August already - where's the months gone to? I remember posting up my Christmas haul on Youtube and talking about Christmas inspired nails not so long ago... 

Talking of 'where's the months gone' I have some empties for you today, most have been used up during the very hot month of July and so I'm going to share them with you. They're not the most exciting items ever but they're things that I've actually enjoyed using and things I'll definitely repurchase. Without further ado...

Gliss Shampoo 

I did actually really like this a long while back and thought I'd repurchase again...sadly, my hair didn't like it this time and so I won't be repurchasing. It smells lovely and works on many people's hair types but I think my hair may be used to my latest shampoo..

Soap And Glory | Off Your Face, Face Wipes

These face wipes are excellent. I really love the way they remove makeup and I love how smooth and non abrasive they are. Definately thumbs up from me!

Soft and Gentle Deo

Haha, everyday essential but I like it!

Boots Therapy Shower Gel

I love this and keep forgetting to repurchase! The scent was different and it was something that I really loved using. It lasted quite a long time too.

Tesco Wake Up Shower Gel | Lime

This is so refreshing and summer loving! I love lime shower gels but I don't think I'll be repurchasing this just yet.

Honey Shower Gel

Not really into sweet, vanilla smelling things but I loved this! I used this up in the winter actually and found it empty in my collection...so in the colder months I'm definitely repurchasing. It's lovely!

I hope you enjoyed my little collection of items. I hope you had a brilliant weekend also,

Be back on Tuesday for my August wishlist,

Lots of love,

July Favourites

COTTON BLOSSOM BODY LOTION, LA COLORS TOP COAT, LA COLORS, 2TRUE LIPGLOSS

Hi everyone,
Today I have a pretty original post for you all - favourites. I'm not really a favourites fan but I know many people like them and I do them every month anyway.
This month, I've not really been loving any different things - I've bought a lot but haven't got round to using them yet.
Just wanted to point out the misty mark on the eye pencil - it's bugging me and it's something to do with my camera lens....I have no idea how to remove it but it's driving me insane!

This month I've got round to using most bath things that I got for Christmas. I'm always a hoarder when it comes to bath items, they look and smell so pretty so I save them and use them at last minute.... this month I finally got round to using a 'Cotton Blossom' set that I received. I love the cotton smell and it smells a lot like Yankee Candle. I really love this body lotion and that says something because I'm not really keen on body lotions. 

As a nail polish lover, the next thing I've been loving is my £1 top coat from LA colors. I love it and it really sets my nail polish to last the whole week. It dries really fast and doesn't leave my polish smudgy... I love it!

LA colors have many items to choose from. Another thing I've been loving of theirs this month is the Jumbo Eye Pencil...black to be precise! I love this and it works perfectly. 

I'm not really a 2True fan but I've loved using their Colour Drench lipgloss in the shade 1. I love it for summer considering I can never be bothered with makeup - it's great for a wash of colour and a bit of moisture.

This month I don't have many faves or many products to mention, but I hope you enjoyed this post!

What have you been loving this month?

Have any of these items ever graced your makeup bags!?

MUA Cover&Conceal | Review

First Impressions

My first impressions on this product were good. When MUA said they'd be releasing a concealer wand, I was impressed. Before this product I don't think MUA had a concealer added to their never ending line of products, so I knew I had to try it.

My first impressions visually on this product, were good. I like the packaging - it's really simple, yet it shows the shade you're buying easily. I like the basic tube packaging, too.

First impressions of the wand were good. This was my first concealer so I was looking for this type wand. It's like a lipgloss wand, I suppose - it's a basic applicator which is called a 'doefoot applicator'. 

What Do I Think Of The Cover and Conceal Collection?

When I had a look at the MUA stand I only saw around 3 shades. One being the lightest, one being the darkest and one being the lightest - one being Almond, which is the medium shade. 

What Do I Think Of The Product?

It's an alright concealer. I believe that this concealer doesn't cover major imperfections but I feel like if you needed something more, you have it. I don't feel like it would cover dark circles - I don't have dark circles but I don't feel like they would cover them very well if I did.

Would I Repurchase?

I don't think I would. It's not really an essential in my makeup bag but I feel like if you have tiny imperfections, it would be something that you personally would suit.

I feel like my foundation as a whole does more than this concealer. 

I hope you enjoyed this review. Let me know in the comments what you think of this concealer!
