My Face Products!

Hello Everybody!

Long time no see. Today I will be showing you what face products I have as another part of this little series of make up posts I'm doing so please let me know what you think I would love to hear form you :)

so lets get started 

1) NARS Sheer Glow - Mont Blanc
I bought this foundation just because I saw lots of people raving about how amazing it is so I wanted a piece of that candy and bought it. In my opinion as someone with a lot of blemishes it hasn't got the best coverage but, with a bit of concealer your'e good to go. It also makes your complexion look beautifully smooth and dewy.























2) Seventeen Instant Glow - Gold Bronze
This was the first highlighter I bought and I love it. Its quite cheap but very good quality and gives off such a beautiful glittery sheen.


 



















3) Maybeline Dream Fresh BB Cream- Light
I bought this just to see what the BB cream hype was all about and like I said I have a lot of blemishes so there was no where near enough coverage so I don't really use this much and will probably never buy it again.  
























4) Urban Decay Pore Perfection Complexion Primer Potion
Woah that's a mouthful haha. I love this primer, it smooths out my skin leaving it looking like silk and gives your foundation an airbrushed finish as well as being a very good base for your foundation to stick to it is very long lasting.





























5) NARS Blush - Super Orgasm
Imagine how awkward it is for me to ask for this blush at the Nars counter lol. This blush instantly caught my eye as I was browsing through a Nars counter one day it is a beautiful peachy pink colour with super pretty flecks of gold glitter. I wear this blush literally everyday.




















6) Rimmel Wake Me Up- 103 True Ivory
This is the foundation I use when I have a bit of a tan, its a bit darker than my skin tone and the coverage is medium to heavy however, I don't feel like this foundation lasts very long but that may be because I have oily skin.
























7)Rimmel Stay Matte - 103 True Ivory
This used to be my go to foundation before sheer glow, it is very heavy coverage and like it says in the name it stays matte all day so you don't even need to apply powder to set or reduce shine because it stays on all day too!






















8) M.A.C Wash And Dry Bronzer
This is also my go to bronzer, it suits my skin perfectly and it blends very easily and has a slight shimmer to it and makes you look perfectly bronzed.




















9) Collection Lasting Perfection concealer- 1 Fair + 2 Cool Medium
Iv'e used this concealer for as long as I can remember, the coverage is the best iv'e ever seen and it lasts all day long I honestly cant fault it.






















10) Tanya Burr cheek pallet- Peachy Glow
I love the colours of everything in this pallet they're beautiful, what I also love is how everything you need to do your blush highlighter and bronzer is all in one place. The very beautiful Tanya Burr has made such a lovely product with a lot of love and care put into them. I am a very big fan of all of her products!































11) Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent powered
I just use this over the top of my sheer glow foundation to set it into place and reduce a bit of the shine, I will then reapply throughout the day again just to tame the shine a little bit.




















12) Benefit High Beam
This is a liquid highlighter which I love but am not obsessed with. I find liquid highlighters a little bit harder to blend and I can never get the natural looking glow that I can get with a powder highlighter but none the less its very pretty.





















13) Smashbox Bronzer ( I don't know the shade sorry)
I got my makeup done at a smashbox counter a while ago and she used this on my face which back then looked okay because I used to regularly fake tan but now I think it looks a bit too orangey for my skin but would look lovely with a tan.




















14) M.A.C Mineral Highlighter (Again don't know the shade) 
Iv'e had this for years, I should probably throw it away but its so beautiful and so glittery, this stuff is kinda weird though, when you apply it, it feels damp on your face for a little while but then just feels like powder but its amazing stuff.
















15) Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
again the lady at the smashbox counter put this on my face and it works very well iv'e actually used up the one that I bought so I now just have the testers she gave me, this primer really makes your foundation adhere to your face which I love.
























And that is all of my face products I hope you all enjoyed. Feel free to leave a comment below and share with your friends if your feeling generous, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you for reading :) <3

What's In My MakeUp Bag?

Hello Everyone!

Today I thought I would take you all on a little trip through my makeup bag.

I haven't gone through my makeup bag in months. It's usually more of a stick your hand in and use what ever you pick out because your going to be late for work type thing!

So lets not beat around the bush, this could take a while...

This is everything that was in my makeup bag but I will go thought it in more detail, as well as add the prices to what I can to save you from having to search the Internet for hours.






Makeup Bags/Tools:



The bag that I use for my makeup brushes (The one on the left) is from the Zoella beauty range and it's the " Just Say Yes" beauty bag which costs £8.00 from superdrug. My makeup bag is from Primark and I bought it ages ago so I don't remember how much it cost.

All of my makeup brushes are from Real Techniques and they are:

  • 100 Arched powder brush £17.91
  • 200 Oval shadow brush £11.02
  • 300 Tapered blush brush £16.53
  • 301 flat contour brush £17.91
  • 201 pointed crease brush £11.02
  • Lash brow groomer £4.13
  • Duo fibre eyes brush (came as a set so I don't know the price)
  • Base shadow brush ( Again came as set so I don't know the price)


Eyes:






  • Urban Decay NAKED pallet, I love this pallet, it's my go to everyday eye shadow, I have done a detailed review of the naked pallet in another post if you're interested in finding out more about it :). This costs £38.00
  • Mac "copperluxe" eye shadow pallet from their "Veluxe pearlfusion" range and this costs £30.00
  • Mac "3D Silver" eye glitter, as many of you may or may or may not know, I love glitter so this is a must have for my makeup collection. This costs £15.00 from Mac.
  •  Mac sized to go eye pigment in the shade "melon" it's so pretty and shimmery, this costs £10.00 which I think is quite cheap for Mac! 
  • Eyelure eyelash glue which came with a pack of my eyelashes, makes sense to have the glue but not the eyelashes doesn't it lol! 
  • Perversion mascara from Urban Decay which makes my eyelashes look amazing! This costs £17.50
  • Subversion eyelash primer also Urban Decay and this primer makes the mascara even better! This costs £15.50
  • GOSH forever eye shadow stick in the shade "Light Copper" this is £5.99 from superdrug. The shadow stick looks lovely on the eye and dries into a kind of powdery texture, It also doesn't crease on your eyelid which is a plus!
  • Make up Academy Pro Base Eye Primer. I usually use "Primer Potion" by Urban Decay but I ran out so I bought this one just to use until I get another primer potion but I have to say the Make Up Academy one is very good too! Also it only costs £2.50?!
  • "Super cat" Liquid eyeliner by Soap And Glory in the shade black, this is amazing it gives such dark, straight and precise lines I cant rave about it enough! This costs £6.00
  • Maybelline  "Big Eyes" eye liner in the shade "Black And White" which is £4.99 from superdrug.
  • Soap And Glory "Archery" eyebrow pencil with setting gel in the shade "Brown And Out" £10.00 from Boots.
Face:




  • Rimmel "Stay Matte" pressed powder in the shade "Translucent" this does exactly what it says on the tin and sorts my embarrassing shiny face right out! £3.99 from superdrug.
  • My favourite foundation , I wear this everyday! The Rimmel "Stay Matte" Liquid mousse foundation, its quite thick so a little bit goes a long way and it gives amazing coverage. This costs £5.99 from superdrug.
  • Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shades "1 fair and 2 cool medium" these cost £4.19 each which I think is quite expensive considering my foundation costs £5.99 but they do cover really well so I don't mind.
Lips: 





  • Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick in the shade "Glastonberry" I love my berry lipsticks and this one has rose gold packaging so its a win win! This costs £23.00 from Charlotte Tilbury.
  • Rimmel lasting finish lipstick by Kate Moss in the shade "34" which is a very pretty baby pink and looks lovely with a smokey eye. This costs £3.99 for superdrug.
  • Rouge Edition velvet by Bourjois this is a lip gloss that is matte which baffles me its in the shade "so hap'pink" and costs £8.99 from Boots.
  • Kate Moss Rimmel London Matte Red in the shade "111 kiss of life" This is my fave red lipstick! This costs £5.49.

Cheeks:




  • NARS blush in the shade "super orgasm" this shade is beautiful and I love the small pieces of glitter in it however its always super embarrassing asking for this at the NARS counter! this costs £23.00 
  • Mac bronzer in the shade "Refined Gold" The packaging on this so beautiful and the bronzer is a beautiful warm shimmery gold! ( I don't know the price to this as it was limited edition and now out of stock) 
  • Seventeen instant glow shimmer brick highlighter which is also a pretty shimmery gold and costs £4.99
  • Benefit "High Beam" highlighter which gives you a lovely glow on your cheeks! When I first saw this I thought it was nail polish lol. This costs £19.50 from Benefit.
And... That's everything I have in my makeup bag! It's not as bad as I thought lol!

Urban Decay NAKED palette Review






Hello Everyone!!

I've been wanting to do a review on this for a while but I wanted to make sure that I used it a lot to get a fair opinion on it!

I was always quite sceptical of the naked palettes because they are priced at around
£36.00 (it may have gone up now but that was how much it was when I bought it) but I was sure that you could find a high-street/drug-store dupe that was just as good, however after hearing so many people raving about how amazing it is I decided to buy it and it did not disappoint! I use this palette every day, I LOVE IT.

This palette contains 12 colours that you would easily be able to achieve multiple looks with. 10 of the colours are shimmery ans 2 of them are matte with the tiniest bit of glitter in them. The palette also comes with a make up brush however I do not use it.

All of the colours in the palette are extremely pigmented ( I will leave pictures of swatches below) even without primer, obviously they would be a bit brighter with primer but you could easily go without which I think is very hard to find especially in a high-street/drug-store brand of eye-shadow. The product also stays put for hours however is very easily removed with make up remover or wipes.

The colours in this palette are: browns, golds, pinks, purples and greys therefore many looks can be achieve from a glam golden goddess eye look to a dark smoky party look.
I will include some different pictures of me wearing the eye-shadows down below.

The colours that I use for my everyday make up are: Virgin (to highlight brow bone) Sin (to highlight the inside corners of my eyes) side car (eyelid) Half Baked (blended next to Side Car on eyelid)
Smog (blended next to Half Baked on eye lid) and Dark Horse (blended into crease).

All though this palette is not cheap it lasts an extremely long time! I've had mine for a year and I haven't even hit pan on any colours yet, this is amazing considering I use it every day, as well as this all of the colours look exactly the same on your eyes as they do in the palette so I think it's definitely worth the price! and I will be purchasing the other palettes too!

If you have any requests on what you would like me to blog about next then please lave a comment below :)
