April Beauty Favourites πŸŒΈ

As its coming up to the end of April I thought that I would do an April favourites blog post as I havn’t done one of these in aaaaages! And these are some of my favourite blogs/vlogs to read and watch.

I’ve been trying out lots of different make up items this month so I thought it would be cool to make that the focus of my favourites.

So, let’s take a look at the beauty bits I’ve been enjoying throughout April 🌼

I’ve tried two new foundations this month, the Maybelline Super stay 24/7 full coverage foundation, in the shade porcelain and Rimmels match perfection foundation in the shade Ivory.

These are both really lovely foundations with great coverage and they are super affordable. The finish of these makes your skin look really flawless and they make a great base for your make up look.

Tanya Burr’s ‘Peony please’ illuminating powder.

This is just SO pretty. It is honestly one of my favourite make up items Ever.

It’s a great highlighter but also (and this is what I like to do) it is perfect for creating a pretty, fresh and glowy look. I apply this to the apples of my cheeks and along the top of my cheeks bones to give them a gorgeous glowy shimmer that makes your skin look amazing.

If you havn’t tried it I would 100% recommend giving it a go.

Benefit Ka-brow!

This is a fantastic brow product and its super long lasting. It’s creamy formula applies really easily and is great for creating a natural brow look in no time at all. The little angled brush makes it seamless when applying and creating shape and definition to your brow. This is often on offer in Boots so check it out if you are on the look out for a new brow product to try.

Some brushes that I have been loving are these two, as seen above. The large fluffyΒ  brush is by Real Techniques, I love using this to apply the Tanya Burr Illuminator to my cheeks and face.

The face brush at the bottom is also by Real techniques and it is what I’ve been using to apply my concealor/foundation recently and I am loving the finish it gives.

And finally, onto lip products.

Forever a fave… Tanya Burrs ‘Pink Cocoa’ creme lipstick. It is the prettiest nude shade and is so versatile, from everyday make up, evenings out and parties it is such a pretty shade.

I’ve also been loving pinky toned lip colours such as the Nyx soft matte lip cremes, especially the shade ‘Istanbul’. The perfect spring pink.

They are definatly a make up bag staple if you are a lover of liquid lipsticks!!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this insight into my current faves.
Maybe give some a go if your looking for something new to add to your make up collection!

See you soon.

Until next time,

OOTD: Night out casual πŸ’‹

I had drinks with my work friends last night so I thought I would do a blog post of my outfit and make up look.

We started off at a casual bar so I went for a casual night out look. We did actually end up in town (& I was very thankful for my flats!)

We’ll start with the outfit…

I went for a black and white combo with this outfit.

The jumper is a black and white mix from H & M. 

The black ankle grazer skinny jeans are from Primark.

The black choker comes from a set of three, again from Primark.

I pinned a little badge to my jumper to add a bit detail.

Red goes really well with black and the little rose is really cool. I matched my lipstick with this too and they both added a pop of colour to the look⚘🌷

My bag is from Primark too! It’s black with a suede effect flap on the front with gold detailing. 

The black faux suede shoes with gold detailing are also from Primark.
I love how well these accessories go with the outfit and with each other.

New year Make up Wishlist!

A new year, a new wishlist and where better to start than with Make up!

These are a mixture of both drug store and High end. I have included a mixture of highlighter, blush, lip, face and eye shadow products as well as some make up brushes that I would like to add to my collection.

I already have some products by some of these brands but others I have seen online, been recommended or I’ve seen on YouTube videos and have liked the look of them.

Lets go…

sleekmakeup-storm-i-devine-6

Sleek  Make up I-Divine ‘Storm’ eye shadow palette. I love the colours in this palette, especially the shimmery tones, the pink and burgundy shimmers at the top and the navy blue, grey and emerald shimmers at the bottom are my particular favorites

sleek_vintageromancepalette002

Sleek I Divine ‘Vintage Romance’ eye shadow palette. Most of these shades are again shimmery, which I definitely prefer. The gold and bronzy tones at the top and the pinky purples are gorgeous.

kylie_main

Kylie Jenner ‘Burgundy eye shadow Palette’. What to say about this? Its just beautiful. The colours in this are so pretty. I love the mixture of matte and shimmer tones, perfect for day or night looks.

The HUDA Beauty ‘Rose gold’ palette is just gorgeous! The mix of shades, mattes and shimmers makes this palette so pretty and perfect for creating lots of different make up looks. The gold, pinky tones and browns are so lovely. 

8891497021470

Maybelline New York single eye shadow in the shade ‘Copper fizz’. I love copper/browny/gold tones and this one is so pretty.

2282877

Maybelline ‘Lash Sensational’ Full fan effect mascara. I’m a bit of a mascara novice so I don’t really know much about which ones are good or not. Zoella recommends this mascara often on her videos and my sister also wears this and highly recommends it too.

s1822204-main-hero

Kat Von D ‘Lock it’ Translucent setting powder. I don’t use a setting powder at the moment but I would like to try one as everyone always says how great they finish your make up and make it last all day long. I’ve only heard good things about Kat Von D’s products so I’d love to try one out. They are also really reasonably priced! When I heard her make up was becoming available online at Debenhams I thought it would be really expensive but it isn’t too bad.

2017-01-15-17-43-52-1205241129

BECCA x ‘Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection’ face palette. This palette is so pretty!! It has five shades of highlight and blush to give you the perfect glow. You get a highlighter in the iconic shade ‘Champagne pop’ as well as two other highlighter shades, two mineral blush shades and a luminous blush hue in the shade ‘Rose Spritz’. Highlighter and blush and two of my favorite make up products so this product is perfect for me.

fdaeedbb9ef54b98e2dc80707a2170e6

Mac Lipstick in the shade ‘Velvet Teddy’. This is a lovely nude lipstick, I’m more of a pink toned lipstick kinda girl but my sister loves this shade so I gave it a go recently and it grew on me.  Its a matte lipstick but it is really moisturizing as you apply it and not drying on your lips. This nude would be a great addition to my lipstick collection.

posie-k_lipkit

Kylie Jenner Lipkit in the shade ‘Posie-K’. As I said I love pink toned lip products and I would love to try one of her lip kits as I have only heard  good things about them. In her kits you get a matte liquid lipstick and a matching lip liner. I’ve recently discovered lip liner and it makes lip application so much easier and neater and I just adore this colour.

sleek-power-plump-lip-crayons-2

Sleek Make up ‘Power Plump lip crayons’. I really like Sleek products and they are super affordable. I love that these come in a wide variety of shades, a nude, a pink, a dark pink, a coral, a berry, and a red. They aim to make your lips shine and look fuller. I cant wait to try these out, but which one to choose haha!!

On to brushes…

2-buffing-brush-1

The Real techniques ‘Buffing brush’. After watching some of Sam & Nic’s tutorials over on their channel ‘Pixiwoo’ I really want to purchase one of their buffing brushes. They use this to apply foundation and “Buff” it into the skin to get a flawless look. I usually use a beauty blender but it would be good to have this brush too to get the best finish.

real-techniques-retractable-bronzer-brush-kabuki-brush-3

The Real Techniques ‘bronzer brush’. I love this large brush and would like to use this to apply my powder (when I get one!) So these will be a joint purchase. I love the size of this brush too.

and finally…

realtechniques_boldmetals001

The Real Techniques ‘Bold Metals’ collection. These brushes are BEAUTIFUL!  The silver, gold and copper/rose gold colours are so pretty. I love these and I already really like the Real Techniques brushes, the quality is super, so these would make a lovely addition to my make up brush collection.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I’ll let you know when I get my hands on some of these, and of they love up to my expectations! Maybe I will do a blog post when I have acquired a few of these items πŸ‘

Whats on your wishlist?

Until next time,

A Christmas party make up look: Blogmas day 21 πŸ’‹

Since I had my work Christmas party last night I thought I would do a Christmas party make up look for you guys. I loved this look with a red lip and bronze eyeshadow. 

The products that I used were:

  • The body shop bb cream in Shade no 2 mixed with Bourjois healthy mix radiance reveal foundation in the Shade light beige, 1 pump of each.
  • Collection lasting perfection Concealor in Cool medium & Bourjois radiance reveal Concealor in Ivory.
  • Clinique face primer creme
  • Revoltuion blusher ‘love’
  • Make up obsession highlighter in the shade ‘bronze’ 
  • Revolution make up eye primer 
  • Make up obsession eyeshadow in the shade ‘rich’ & Maybelline Nudes palette.
  • Diorshow mascara in black 
  • Tanya Burrs perfect brows palette
  • Rimmel lip Liner in the shade 004 ‘Indian pink’
  • Tanya Burrs lipstick in the shade ‘Big kiss’

Brushes

  • Real techniques beauty blender; I used this for foundation & concealor.
  • Real techniques buffing brush; I use this brush to apply blusher.
  • Real techniques base eyeshadow brush; I used this to apply the base colour of my eyeshadow & the darker colour into the outer corner.
  • Real Technique multi-task brush; I use this brush to just wipe away any excess and clean up the look.
  • Primark fan brush for highlighing; this Brush applies highlighter flawlessly. I only recently got this after wanting one for ages and I would 100% recommend getting one of these.
  • Revolution, Limited edition angled brush; I used this brush for my eyebrows.

    I used a mixture of two face products in order to give more coverage all night without being too heavy. I love the mix of my bb cream and the healthy mix foundation, it works really well. I used a pump of each on my beauty blender to apply it to my face.

    I used the Collection concealor for my face and any blemishes or spots and the Bourjois concealor under my eyes which is why I go for a lighter shade to make under my eyes brighter.

    I bought a few of the products listed above expecially for this make up look, these were…

    I love the colours that you can get by ‘Make up obsession’ and I went for a glowy bronze look with the highlighter and eyeshadow as I thought this would work really well with the red lip. The eye primer I used (from my beauty advent calender) was also fab and my eyeshadow stayed perfect all night.

    Tanya Burrs lipsticks from her Autumn collection are AMAZING. people kept asking me all night what lipstick I was wearing and commenting on how well it had stayed on even whilst I was eating the meal. I love the slightly darker shade of red in this lipstick, it’s party perfect.

    Here’s the finished look!

    I was really please with this make up look & it went perfectly with my outfit but would be so versatile for so many party looks! 

    I hope you liked the look too πŸ’‹

    In my beauty advent calender today…

    Today I got a baked blusher! This is one of my favorites items from the advent calender so far!! I love pink blushers and this one is beautiful 😍

                Maybelline Eyeshadows πŸ‘€

                Maybelline do some awesome eyeshadows that look amazing, are super pigmented and really long lasting! I thought I would share with you my favourite ones from a couple of their ranges, both powder and creme shadows.

                Let’s make a start,
                ‘The Nudes’ eyeshadow range consists of some lovely palettes with an awesome selection of colours to create so many different looks. I have three palettes from this range.

                First up is my favourite…

                The Blushed Nudes

                This a made up of gorgeous dusky pinks and is just so beautiful 😍 The light Base tones, whites & creams with the pinks are so so pretty. 

                We used this palette for the make up on my wedding day, it was perfect πŸ‘Œ 

                Here are some swatches of the colours…

                Gorgeous pinks 😍🌸🏡🌹

                The Nudes

                This palette is great for creating the perfect nude look with lovely browns, golds, beiges and creams.

                These are great for creating a everyday look or for vamping up a night out look.

                Here are the colours in the palette…
                And last but not least…

                The Rock Nudes

                These are such cool colours and great for creating an awesome night out look!

                This palette has some great base colours, grungy browns/blacks and sparkly glitters.

                I love the navy blue and black sparkly ones.

                There are a couple more palettes from this collection, ‘The Brights’

                ‘The Graffiti Nudes’

                And, ‘The Smokes’

                I can’t wait to get my hands on these ones too!!
                Maybelline also have a range of ‘Colour tattoo 24hr’ eyeshadows. These are a creme formula and are amazing πŸ˜€

                I have two shades from this range so far Pink Gold & On and on bronze. They are gorgeous!! Here’s a swatch…

                These are great for this season with their metallic look and the bronze shade is especially great for Autumn/Winter time. The pink gold colour is so pretty, I LOVE pinks and this one is amazing.

                These eyeshadows are so versatile, super pigmented and long lasting. They are great for sweeping across the lid on their own or blended with other colours to create different looks. 

                I would defiantly recommend all of these products for their affordability, versatility, quality and variety πŸ‘Œ

                What eyeshadow products would you recommend?

                Until next time,

                • Bourjois radiance reveal concealor in the shade ‘Ivory’ Β£7.99

                I chose this shade as it is designed for people with blue eyes, to make them stand out. This is great for applying all over the lid & crease of the eye.

                • Charlotte Tilbury legendary lashes Β£25

                I actually got these after watching one of Zoella’s videos. She was talking about the Claines lip oils that she uses & that these were a good dupe for that brand.

                SLEEK

                • Sleek Make up creme contour kit in shade ‘Light’ Β£10.99

                This kit comes highly recommended (which is why I bought it) and is a really high quality. I havnt really tried contouring much but this set comes with six different shades & a little leaflet to help you apply the appropriate colour the each area of the face.

                COLLECTION 

                • Collection lasting perfection concealor Β£4.19

                This also comes highly recommended and is a very good high street product. It’s affordable and brilliant quality.

                URBAN DECAY

                • Urban decay travel brush set Β£11.99

                These are great for carrying around in your make up bag & for avoiding filling it to the brim 👍

                Right, that’s all of it! The total cost of this haul ( not including lashes that were a sample) is *drum roll*  Β£179.58 🙈🙊💷
