Current favourite Lipsticks | July 15

Hi Guys, I thought I would do a little post about the lipsticks that haven't left my bag recently. These are the lipsticks I have been reaching for everyday for the past month or so.

MAC | PLINK! | Lustre | £15.50

I love this lipstick, it is really sheer, its a lustre finish so its sheer with a pearly finish. This colour is a warm toned nude, it leaves a sheer pink shine on your lips. This is great for an everyday lipstick, super pretty!

Rimmel | Lasting finish Kate Moss | 32 | £5.49

This is a peachy nude, with an orange undertone. This is a beautiful colour and I think most skin tones could pull this off.  I've seen it on both pale and tanned skin and it looks great, it’s a really flattering colour. It lasts well too considering its a "drugstore" product. It does need to be re-applied after eating or drinking,  like most lipsticks, but if you would like something different to the usual pinks and reds I highly recommend trying this.

MAC | Velvet Teddy | Matte | £15.50

I have wanted this lipstick since last year, when I heard it is the lipstick Kylie Jenner wore. It sold out at the time, so when I was recently in a MAC store and saw it...I had to have it. It is a beautiful pinky nude with a brown undertone.  It is a matte finish so lasts well. I tend to apply this along with my Rimmel lip liner in the colour Spice!

June Empties | 2015

Hey Guys!

I thought I'd do an empties post as I have been saving my empty products in a box and the box was getting quite full! These products are my empties from the past few months.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub | £8.00

"Smashed Brown Sugar & Sweet Lime, Almond Oil & Macadamia Grains"

I love this scrub as I love most Soap and Glory products. This has lasted ages, I got it for Christmas and probably opened it in February so it has lasted for several months. Is smells incredible... a sweet, citrus-y scent that really wakes you up in the morning. I will probably re-purchase this just for the smell!

Soap & Glory Whipped Clean Shower Butter | £7.00

"Pistachio, Almond and Sweet Vanilla Scent"

Once again Soap & Glory do not disappoint on scent. This is a completely different scent to the body scrub, it’s a sweet vanilla scent....it smells edible. I love Soap & Glory's packaging they have humorous names with witty quotes on them. I don't know if I'd personally re-purchase this, as much as the scent was amazing the product itself was a bit meh, but I'd be happy if I received it as a gift.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation | £31.00

I don't have a single negative comment on this foundation. I am in love with it. I first caved and purchased this foundation last year after reading outstanding reviews on every blog that I came across. This foundation has changed my life (Ok, a bit dramatic I know!). I have done a full review on this here. This foundation is hydrating, dewy, medium/high coverage and makes your skin look flawless. If I was being really picky the one mini downfall is that it doesn't come with a pump, but you can buy one separately! Will I re-purchase this? OF COURSE!

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express | £7.99

I have done a full review on this also here. I really like this mascara and I have re-purchased it a couple of times.I feel it gives good length and volume, it is affordable and the packaging is quite cool. I prefer the Maybelline Falsies mascara but I think I purchased The Rocket when I had completely run out of mascara and the only shop I could get to had run out of The Falsies. This is a good high-street mascara and I probably will end up re-purchasing.

Bourjois Paris Bronzing Powder | £7.99

This isn't technically an empty but the bronzer has smashed so it is going in the bin. Not a massive fan of this powder, I find it quite orange-y on my skin tone and I don't personally think it blends very well. Also people say it smells like chocolate....I don't know what kind of chocolate they eat but I don't think it smells like chocolate, not like the Too Faced one does anyway!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer | £4.19

You have more than likely read every beauty blogger bang on about this product, this is such a great high-street concealer. In fact I ran out last week and went to get some more today and it was sold out in every colour. It has really high coverage and is really affordable. I will re-purchase this as soon as it is back in stock in my Boots!

Estee Lauder Double Wear | £29.50

This is a great foundation and I have been using it on and off for about 6 years. It is really high coverage and lasts all day without fail. The only downside to this foundation is as I have dry skin it does cling to dry patches. It also has SPF in it so flashes back on photographs. I always say I'm not going to re-purchase as it dries my skin out, but always seem to go straight to it when I don't know what other foundation to try. Having said that I have now found Nars Sheer Glow so maybe I won't re-purchase...but no promises!

Favourites Of 2014

Good Evening. I thought I would do a post on my favourites from 2014. It did take me a while to narrow it down but in the end I managed to get down to my 6 favourites from last year and I think these are all essentials in a make-up lovers make-up bag!

1. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation | £31

I fell madly and deeply in love with this foundation last year. I had read many blog reviews and watched many YouTube videos before purchasing this little gem and boy am I glad I got it. I'm going to put this out there first, this is not a cheap foundation, I think its one of the most expensive I have purchased (along with the YSL ones). The way I see it is that although it cost £31 it has lasted over 3 months, so that is around £10 a month for a beautiful foundation...this is how I justify the amount to my partner anyway!

The foundation itself can be applied with a brush or looks equally as beautiful if applied with fingers. Very buildable, this can go from being quite a natural foundation to full coverage. It gives a lovely glowy radiant skin and lasts all day easily! I cannot say enough good things about this foundation and I highly recommend it!

2. Mac Pro longwear concealer | £15.50

Another pricey product but if you can look past that, it is a fabulous product. I don't use this everyday, but when I have had a sleepless night due to my daughter keeping me up or if I am going somewhere nice I will grab this. It has a medium/high coverage. It feels light on the skin, it applies as a creamy texture sets quite quickly and once it has set it wont budge. On me it lasts all day easily.

3. Eyeko brow gel | £18.00

This is a great product. I love to use this on my "no make-up" days.  I just run it through my brows and gives them definition and colour but they still look natural.

4. Soap & Glory Supercat liquid liner | £6.00

Not much to say other than this is a fab liner and I think I have used it throughout 2014. It is jet black, lasts all day and is easy to apply.

5. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick | £5.49

I think this has been my favourite since 2013 I have purchased about 3 of these. I have bought redish lipsticks from YSL, Elizabeth Arden and MAC but always seem to come back to this one. It is a matte formula therefore lasts hours without needing a touch up. The colour is a beautiful dark red colour which is very flattering and makes your teeth look super white. I love this and will continue to repurchase until its discontinued (which no doubt will happen as always with products I love!).

6. MAC "Naked Lunch" | £10.00
This is my second purchase of this shadow. I love this colour its a gorgeous shimmery champagne colour I wear it everyday all over my lid with a darker colour going through the crease. if you’re looking for an everyday shadow this is a beautiful colour and it’s MAC so applies like a dream.
