Mini Boots Haul | 2

I don't tend to go all out and do big Boots shops so here is another little boots haul!

I went in to get some things that I needed (boring), but ended up getting a couple of new things I spotted.

My staple concealer and powder, Seventeen's Miracle Matte powder and Stay time Concealer.  While at the Seventeen stand I noticed The new Eye eye Crayons, I'm always looking for new cream eye shadows/bases so I jumped at these for £3.99 in Molten metal, a really nice bronze shade. I also spotted their new contour kit. This got me really excited, I have wanted a contour kit for ages and this one is only £4.99 so I just had to pick one up. I can't wait to try this out and let you know what I think!

Boring, I know, but we all need them! 

I thought I would also feature what my boyfriend bought, It's sometimes interesting seeing what boys use!

That's all for now!

Have you tried any of these?

Until Next time!

Top 3 | Bright Lips

Today I thought I'd share my 3 favourite bright lipsticks. Bright lips are my favourite so it was quite difficult to narrow them down to 3.

Revlon Colour Burst Matte Balm - Sultry

This is a really nice pinky purple kind of colour it is lovely for day time and night! The crayon style of it makes it really easy to apply, plus it has a really weirdly nice minty smell.

MAC -So Chaud

My favourite lipstick ever! Its the perfect balance of orange and red. It has a really nice matte formula that isn't to drying and is really long lasting.

Revlon - Really Red

My ultimate red lipstick! It's matte which is my favourite formula and lasts a really long time. Reds can be hard to apply and wear but this one is so easy!

What are your favourite bright lips?

That's all for now!

Mini Boots Haul

So I recently took a trip to Boots because they have released new Match made lipsticks to go along with their match made foundation. Find out more about it here! No7 currently have an offer where if you buy two No7 products you get a free(!!) 'Exquisite Eyes Gift Box'. I'm a sucker for any freebie so this was right up my street!

No7 Stay Perfect Foundation - Calico

This is one of my favourite foundations although I am matched to the lightest shade it stell can seem a bit dark on me, nothing a little blending can't fix! It is £14.50 so a little out of my normal everyday foundation budget but I had a voucher so how could I say no!

No7 Match Made Stay Perfect Lipstick - Blushing Rose

This is the lipstick I chose out of the ones matched to me. Its a really lovely colour a little bit bright but not to much for everyday. I haven't had much time to try this out yet but I will report back when I have! This lipstick is £9.95 which is a little pricey (but again I had a voucher). 

No7 Exquisite Eyes Gift Box

This is what came free with my two No7 purchases and for a freebie it is pretty good! Inside is a full size Stay Perfect Metallic Eye pencil in purple (I have been wanting a purple eye liner for ages, win!). There is also an Eye Colour Brush because a girl can never have to many brushes! A mini Lovely lashes mascara and an eye shadow which is the top shade in the No7 forest fruits eye shadow trio (Think shimmery purple colour. Definitely cant complain for free!

Finally with my Advantage Card points I bought the Real Techniques Miracle complexion sponge (£5.99). I have been desperate to try this for ages and will let you know how I get on soon.

I am pretty happy with my little haul i got good bargins with vouchers and cant wait to give the lipstick and sponge a better try.

Let me know if you have tried any of these,

Thats all for now,

Bye

FOTD || Everyday Makeup

I haven't blogged in a while but I am going to make an effort to do it more since I really enjoy it! To start it up again I thought id so a quick post about the make up look I wear most days at the moment.

Base

• MUA Undress Your Skin Foundation in Porcelain (Review coming soon)
• Seventeen Stay Time Concealer in Extra Fair
• Seventeen Miracle Matte Powder in Ivory Porcelain
• NYX Blush in Taupe as contour
• Venus from the Naked Basics Palette as highlighter
• Benefit Blush in Dandelion (Mini from the 'Do The Bright Thing' kit)

Eyes

• Naked 3 Palette (Limit and Dust over the lid, Nooner in the crease, Liar on the outer corner, Strange on the inner corner and Blackheart as liner)
• Naked Basics Palette (Naked 2 on lower lash line and Venus as brow highlight)
• Natural Collection eye shadow in Crushed Walnut on the brows
• MUA Clear mascara to set the brows
• Bourjois Twist up the Volume Mascara on top lashes

I love this make up, Its simple but still quite dramatic from the eye liner. Some days I don't line my eyes to give a softer look.

That's all for now.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

I finally got one! I am very late on this bandwagon. I have lusted over the Naked 3 palette since it was released and one day my boyfriend surprised me with it (He shouldn't buy me presents but I wont complain). I am so excited to have this after months of being super jealous of everyone else that has posted about this. It is very expensive (£37) but it does not disappoint.

 

All the colours in this palette are beautiful and noting like any eye shadows I have had before. Lovely rose tones that are not to pink meaning you wont look like you have some kind of eye infection. I wanted to pick out my favourites but I really can't. This palette has a great variety of matte, metallic and shimmery colours. I will post soon about how I wear this shades.
This is quite expensive however you do get 12 amazing colours plus a brush which is pretty good too. You can create looks for day and night, so its super versatile. You also get 4 samples of different primer potions, each one containing around a weeks worth of product.
Overall I love this and all I want to do is experiment with it (and stare at it).
Do you have this?
How do you like to use it?
Let me know. :)

Lips | Rose lip Combo

I am not a lover of natural lip colours. They look amazing on other people but awful on me. So recently when I want something a bit more natural I have been going for a rose colour lip. These are the two products I use to create this look.

First I line and fill in my lips with Natural Collection lip liner in Ruby Rose. This is only around £1.99 (plus Natural Collection is often on 3 for £5 at Boots!) This lip liner is quite long wearing for the price and helps make the lipstick last a bit longer. 

I then apply Barry M lip paint in Everything's Rosie 164. This lipstick is a lovely colour but doesn't last very long at all, but if you don't mind reapplying it throughout the day then its not really a problem.

This is what they look like when they are layered up. 

What is your favourite lip combo for summer?

Review | Bourjois Twist up the Volume Mascara

So I was initially going to do a first impressions post on this, but after trying it out for around a week (I got lazy and didn't blog) I feel I am ready to do a full blown review!
I got this mascara on the 2 for £14 deal on Bourjois at boots along side the Healthy mix serum foundation.  This mascara has quite a wet formula which I don't really like as I am clumsy and end up getting it everywhere. But it means it shouldn't dry out and get old to quickly. The main reason I got it is because of the cool wand which starts out long and thin, but when you twist the knob (sorry) gets short and thick. Its actually quite fun to play with (sorry again).

 Setting 1 - defined length. I found this wand quite difficult to use ad the brush is so long I found it  hard to use.

Setting 2 - Volume oversize. This is the way I have been using it most days. The brush is a bit shorter and easier, for me, to use. I find this setting gives length and volume
This is a quick mascara as you only need 1 or 2 coats for super big lashes. however it will make your lashes stick together if you're not careful with it or try to layer it too much. But I find that with most plastic mascara wands. ( I always say I prefer the bristly kind yet never seem to buy them).

Those pictures were with one coat with setting one and one coat with setting two. As you can see it can give a nice, not to over the top, look but I much prefer adding a bit more for crazy big over the top lashes!
