My Top Three | Maybelline

 So I have decided to start doing posts on my top three picks from makeup brands. I am going to aim to do one of these a week (I'm not sure how that will go haha!) So.. Lets get started!

Firstly the super stay 24 colour lipstick. I love lip stains especially on nights out. This one is amazing, it looks just like a normal lipstick but stays on like nothing else (I wake up the next day with it still intact) so I don't need to worry about constant replication and it means my boyfriend doesn't come away with more lipstick on than me! I have the colour Cherry Pie which is an amazing deep red. They have two balms a glossy one and a matte one, I really want to get more colours of this because I love it so much and i am desprate to try the matte balm.

A rubbish picture to show you the amazing colour!

My second pick is the colour tattoo. I have the shade 35 On and on bronze. I wear this nearly everyday and am starting to run low. It stays on all day and doesn't crease even in the hot weather we have had in England recently! It is great on its own or as a base for other eye shadow! They have quite a few different shades but this is by far my favorite. (I wish they did a nude).

My last pick is their new The Mega Plush Volume Express mascara. This has a really cool brush (I will do a full review soon) and is really good for quick long lashes. It is a little difficult to master at first but after i got used to it I started really enjoying it. It doesn't flake and is easy to take off at the end of the day. Great!

On and on bronze on the lid and one coat of the mascara!

Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite Maybelline products?

Haul | Boots

I recently went for a day out shopping with my Mam and found myself in Boots. I thought it would be cool to showed you what I bought. (I really like seeing what other people buy I'm so nosey).

Kicking it off with makeup, first I got Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in transparent. I buy this powder over and over again, its the best one i have tried and its only £3.99 so can't really go wrong. I also got Natural collections blush in peach melba. I had this once before but I dropped it and it broke. I don't wear blush often but this one is a really nice subtle shade so is perfect for me! I  have been wanting to try the BarryM Dazzle dusts for a long time so I finally took the plunge and got one. I chose copper because it looked really nice when I swatched it on my hand however i find it a bit yellowy on my eyes (I'm trying to find a way to make it work). I also got a Seventeen lip crayon in bold which is a really nice glossy orange shade.

I got 2 new brushes, a retractable lip brush (something iv been wanting for a while) and a new No7 Eye contour brush. This is my favorite brush for blending out eye shadow so i thought having a second cant hurt!

I got 2 nail varnishes a clear one from Natural collection (the BarryM one I normally get was out of stock and this was cheap). The other is a black and white graffiti nail effect. Its really cool and looks like paint splatters (review soon?)

This one is a little bit boring but this is the hair dye and colour I use on my hair. It was starting to grow out so I needed some more.

Boots own Dry shampoo! Its a little bit cheaper than my favorite batiste and does the same job! (it smells like the tropical batiste which is my favorite sent too!)

Hair masks can be expensive and I really needed a new one for my hair extensions. This one was not to expensive and smells amazing! (I love coconut)

Now these may seem weird but I have suffered with acne for quite a few years, on my body and my face (gross huh?!) I am always on the look out for new products that might help and I spotted the boots tea tree and witch hazel back spray. They have a whole new range of products to tackle body acne which is something I have never seen before. I am going to give this a good try and let you know how I get on! I also found this clearing gel from Good Things, I have never herd of this brand before but it wasn't to expensive and it has no nastiness in it so it is worth a try!

I never thought to look in Boots for jewelry but they had some really nice pieces in for pretty good prices! these two will be perfect for summer / autumn and i love the look of stacking up bracelets.

A random one to finish off. My boyfriend has really bad hay fever at this time of year and my mum suggested this would help him so we picked him some up. Its vegan, organic and drug free so can be used with what ever other hay fever medication you're on. I will let you know how he gets on with this soon!

You can find everything I bought at boots!

Review | MUA Undress Me Too Palette

When it comes to eye shadow I love neutrals. This palette is the perfect mix of 12 bronze and brown shades ranging from matte to metallic and it is just amazing! Each shade has amazing pigmentation (as per with MUA eye shadows). I have the Undressed palette as well but this ones shade range is so much better for me. I have herd it livened to Urban Decays Naked 2 palette but I don't have that so I cant really comment. (If it is similar I don't see the point these eye shadows are amazing for just £4!)

The shades are absolutely beautiful and I love that they gave them names this time! I love using  fiery and dreamy to make a bronze smokey eye. Good matte blacks are hard to come by, but corrupt is perfect. 

Overall I love this palette and I think it is well worth the £4 price tag. In fact I think I would happily pay a lot more than that for the quality! It definitely gets a 10/10 from me!

You can find MUA here and at your local superdrug!

Tag | How much is your face worth?

(Sorry for the rubbish lighting in this photo)

I have never done a tag style post before but I have seen a few people doing this one, it looked kinda fun so I thought I would give it a go! If you haven't seen this tag before the idea is you list every product you have used on your face that day and add up the prices. So here I go...
MUA Undress your skin Flawless face primer - £5
Revlon colour stay makeup (ivory) - £12.49
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer (51) - £7.49
Rimmel Stay Matte powder (transparent) - £3.99
MUA Bronzer (shade 3) - £1
No7 Skin Illuminator (Peach) - £11
Maybelline Colour tattoo (on and on bronze) - £4.99
Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner (bronze) - £3.99
Soap and Glory Thick and fast Collagen coat mascara - £10.50
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil (hazel) - £2.99
Natural Collection lash care mascara (clear) - £1.99
Maxfactor lasting lip tint ( 03) - £6.99
MUA Pro Base Fixing mist - £5

Total : £77.42

I use a lot of products that are on the cheaper end but its scary to see how quickly it adds up! I'm pretty proud of my self considering most of these posts I have read have totaled at well over £100. (Does this mean i can treat my self to more makeup?!)
Have you done a pose like this? I really enjoy reading them!

Review | Rimmel Scandaleyes Khol Kajal Eyeliners

So I have seen alot of good reviews for these eyeliners and I have to say I completely agree with them. I was never really a massive fan of pencil eyeliners before, they were always either to hard or way to soft and smudged easily. These are the perfect formulation: creamy enough to apply easily and smudge out to look smokey but stay put all day! (Plus they have the most beautiful pigmentation!)

I have 3 colours:  Black, Nude and Bronze. The nude is perfect for wearing in the waterline everyday and really helps make your eyes look awake without looking harsh like while eyeliner can. The black and bronze are great both to line the lid as well and the waterline but can also be easily blended all over the eye as an amazing eye shadow or base.
They are the best pencil eyeliners I have ever tried and at just £3.99 each they are an absolute bargain! They have a few more colours so I think one day soon I might have to pop to boots and pick up another one (or two...)

My Dior Makeover!

I have never really shopped at a high end makeup counter before, I always feel a little bit intimidated by them (does anyone else get that?). However, the other day I was shopping with my boyfriend and we went for a mooch round Debenhams' makeup section. We found ourselves in the Dior section and the lady at the counter was actually really nice. She matched me up to a foundation and gave me a little sample of it to try at home. While I was there she told me about a makeup artist they had coming in during the next week. After a little bit of persuasion from my boyfriend I decided to book an appointment and get my makeup done.

So along I went on Wednesday to get my makeup done. Everyone there was really nice and I had a really good time. I really liked my new makeup look (even if the foundation he used was a little dark and by the time I got home I looked like i had a wotsit for a face). It was a really nice experience and I even got a little goodie bad of some perfume and skincare samples to try.

Offt fancy samples.

And of course I fell in love with most of the products he used on me. My boyfriend let me pick one as a treat  (he is actually the loveliest) try as I may he did not let me say no (it was tough) I picked the Diorskin nude tan healthy glow enhancing powder in 001 aurora. Super expensive but super pretty! (Watch this space for a review).

So overall I had a super good time and will hopefully feel a little bit less intimidated by makeup counters in future (maybe).
Have you tried anything from Dior?

FOTD | Bronze Eyes

I have recently been wearing bronze on my eyes nearly everyday so I though I'd do a FOTD showing you what I use. Its perfect for summer. I have been using a few new products, a star being the MUA fixing mist and I'm finally getting use out of my Rimmel scandaleyes in bronze that I got a while ago but never really used.

Have you tried any of these products?
