Hello you beauties!

It has been a while since I uploaded a beauty post and because it is my last post of August 2017, I thought it was only right to bring a beauty post to you about possibly the most important makeup item of summer - bronzers!

Everyone wants that golden, tan-like glow during the summer to make them look healthy and not seem too washed out in the sun. Other than using fake tan, I believe that bronzer is the best way to do this!

Now, if you've been reading my blog for a while now (and if you have then thank you) you will know that I've always struggled to find a bronzer that I love, but I have managed to find 3 that work just fine for me.

The one I use the most is definitely the Hoola bronzer by Benefit. I own the mini version but I feel like this is great value for money, at just £10.50. It's extremely pigmented which means you only have to use a little bit so even the mini one lasts ages. It's really easy to blend out too so if you do feel like you've applied a little bit too much, it's easily fixed. Even though they do have the Lite version for people with paler skin (like me), I feel like the original version is fine for paler people as long as you use a light hand and know how to blend well.

Another bronzer that I like to use is the Bourjois chocolate bronzer. This one is a lot lighter than the Hoola bronzer so is perfect for people who don't want much bronzer (just a natural glow) or for people with paler skin. This is slightly cheaper than the Hoola bronzer too, at just £7.99 so it's a great drugstore purchase. And it smells like chocolate too, which is a bonus.

The final bronzer that I like to use is the Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer in the shade 'Golden Days'. It's not the best out of the 3, but for just £4 it definitely worth the money. It's very pigmented for the price and is easy to use. The only problem I've ever had with it is that sometimes it can go orange. But other than that I really do like this bronzer.

What bronzers do you like to use? What would you recommend I try next?

I'll be back next week with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

I've seen a lot of people do videos like this on YouTube and I've been meaning to do a post about this for a while but never really got round to it. I guess I wanted to build up my makeup collection and see what worked for me first before deciding on a full face of makeup that I would lean to a lot. But here it is. A full face of drugstore makeup.

1. First I would apply the Nivea Men Post Shave Balm as a primer base, which since I first purchased it has always been my go-to primer.
2. Then I would apply my Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in the shade 'Light Vanilla' which is definitely one of my most favourite foundations ever.

3. Next is the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade 'Cool medium' which is a favourite of most people. I love it as it adds a great amount of coverage for such a low price.
4. To set my base I will use the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in the shade 'Translucent' which I have been using since I first discovered the joys of makeup.
5. I will then use the Bourjois chocolate bronzer lightly dusted over my skin to give it a more healthy look.
6. To give my cheeks a bit of colour, I always use a MUA blusher and I usually reach for the one in the shade 'Lolly'.

7. Of course we can't forget highlighter! I usually use the I Heart Makeup Unicorns Heart highlighter.
8. For an every day look, I always use my NYX nudes eyeshadow quad that I created myself, as a nude eye is the best.
9. For mascara, nothing can beat a trusty No7 mascara. At the moment, I am using their Intense Volume mascara in 'Black'.

10. For my brows, I will usually just use the Soap and Glory brow archery pencil in the shade 'Love is Blonde' as it is so easy to use.
11. No look is complete without a lipstick. To complete this everyday look, I usually use the Essence long-lasting lipstick in the shade 'Barely There' - the perfect nude lipstick!

What drugstore makeup do you usually use? Could you create a full face look out of all the drugstore makeup you own?

Hello you beauties!

I must admit that finding the perfect foundation has been one of the hardest parts of growing my makeup collection, and I bet a lot of you feel exactly the same way too. Recently, I looked through every foundation I owned and thought about the positives and negatives of each one, and decided which was my favourite. And then decided to turn it into a review for you all. So enjoy!

1. L'Oreal Infallible 24H in the shade 'Vanilla'
This is the foundation that was actually the last one to make it into my collection, despite hearing so many great things about it. While it's no where near the worst foundation I have ever used, it definitely isn't the best either and, if I'm completely honest, I probably won't purchase it again. I bought it for £7 in a sale but it is usually sold for £9.99, which makes it a decent priced drugstore foundation, and won't that won't usually be out of people's budgets. It does last for quite a while (although probably not 24 hours) and does blend quite easily, it does cling to your dry patches of skin, go slightly orange and only give a light/medium coverage.

2. L'Oreal Infallible Matte in the shade 'Porcelain'

Yet another L'Oreal foundation, and it is again probably one that I wouldn't repurchase. I've always heard amazing things about L'Oreal foundations but so far, none of them have been as good as I expected. This one is a brilliant colour and the shade really does suit me well, it blends out easily, offers better coverage than I expect, and it is quite cheap at just £7.99 (cheaper than most drugstore foundations!)! However, as it is a matte foundation, it really does cling to my dry skin and, to be honest, really does ruin the whole look itself. It's a great foundation is you don't have dry skin but, if you do, I really wouldn't recommend it.

3. Bourjois Healthy Mix in the shade 'Light Vanilla'
This one, again, is within the same price range as the first foundation I spoke about, being only £9.99 which I think is very affordable for anyone on a budget. The shade, being the lightest one there is, is still great - usually the lighter shades are still too dark for me but this one isn't, it is perfect. It offers great medium coverage, lasts a while, blends quite well and rarely ever creases. I would definitely recommend this foundation to you all.

4. Rimmel Match Perfection in 'Light Porcelain'
I have always been a fan of Rimmel's foundations and this one definitely does not disappoint. It is reasonably cheap at just £7.99 and the colour matches to my skin tone great - not too dark but not too light either. It does offer quite good coverage but at times (depending on how well it has been applied) can feel heavy and greasy on the skin, and it is also not the easiest to blend out. If you're looking for one to just start out with then this one will be perfect for you.

5. BareMinerals Original Foundation in the shade 'Light'
Now onto the only high end foundation in my collection. I would have to admit that this is one of the best foundations I have ever used. It is very, very lightweight which makes it great as it still offers decent coverage and also does not feel heavy on your skin, making it perfect to wear for work and college (well, that's usually where I wear it anyway). The colour is good as well (it is slightly too dark for me, but that's my fault for picking the wrong shade) and it is very easy to apply. The one negative thing I would point out about this foundation is that it is extremely pricey at over £20 but a little goes a long way so you definitely get what you pay for with this foundation.

Overall, I would probably recommend the Bourjois foundation to you all. While I do love the BareMinerals foundation, I know not all of you will be able to afford it so the Bourjois one is definitely my favourite drugstore foundation that I have tried so far.

Let me know what your favourite foundations are - I would love to try something new!

Hello you beauties!

While sometimes I love going crazy with my makeup and using crazy colours, there are times where I do prefer wearing makeup where it looks like I'm not wearing any or hardly wearing any. I always have a set routine for my "no makeup" look, so I thought I would share that with you today.

1. Nivea Men Post Shave Balm Primer
This is my go-to primer at the moment. There's nothing better than feeling moisturised and refreshed before starting out your makeup routine for the day.

2. L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation in "Vanilla"
This foundation is great for everyday wear as it's not too heavy and really does last quite a while.

3. Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer in 'Ivory' 
While I don't always use this concealer as it does not offer as much coverage as my beloved Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, but because this is so light weight and brightening, it is good for that healthy, natural look.

4. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in "Translucent"
You all know I love this powder a lot, and is great to set your makeup no matter what, and great to travel with.

5. MUA Blusher in 'Cupcake'
I love these blushers from MUA as they're so pigmented and so easy to use. 'Cupcake' is a lovely nude blusher which helps add a more natural tone to your cheeks while still making it look like you're not wearing any/much makeup.

6. GOSH Eye Primer
This is the only eye primer I rely on at the moment - it helps that it is so cheap too!

7. Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow Collection 2017 Palette
I always use this palette now as it has so many different shades (144 in fact) so I mix up some of the natural/nude shades to create the perfect eye look for my "no makeup" look.

8. No7 Intense Volume Mascara in 'Black'
No7 have always been my favourite for my 'everyday' mascaras - I use so many because I'm always using them for work and college as they always as volume and colour as well as looking very natural.

9. Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil in 'Love is Blonde'
I am obsessed with this brow pencil - it is a great shade for me, so easy to use and looks so natural too.

10. Lip balm (any)
It is always a great idea to keep your lips hydrated before putting on a lip product, or is great on its own to present that natural makeup look.

11. NYX Butter Gloss in 'Madeleine'
Most often than not, I just stick to lip balms but on the days where I want to add a little more to my makeup look, I will add this nude NYX lipgloss, as it basically looks like your lips but better. And it's not sticky either.

Do you have your own "no makeup" makeup look? Please feel free to share it with us through the comments.

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

3 months of 2017 have passed so far, and I must admit this is the hardest post for me to write so far this year. This past month hasn't particularly been great for me, as college has been difficult and I was very ill at one point. So I haven't been using makeup that much this past month, and due to my exams approaching I have spent most of my time studying rather than doing much else. But I've managed to find a few things for both the beauty and non-beauty sections just to write this post for you all.

Let's start with the beauty favourites.

My first favourite of this month is something I was seriously surprised to love (despite its massive price tag). It is the BareMinerals Original Foundation in the shade 'Light'. I've heard great things about this foundation before, and in a way I expected it to be good as it costs over £25, but once I realised it was a powder foundation, I was unsure. I have never used a powder foundation before so I was unsure about how they actually worked and if it would work for me. It doesn't offer amazing coverage but it does feel very light on my skin, which is perfect for college as it doesn't make my face feel greasy, lasts all day and doesn't crease. Even though it costs a lot of money, I would seriously continue to use it a lot in the future.

The next beauty item on my list this month is the Bourjois bronzer that is shaped like chocolate. I mentioned this last month where I mentioned that this was a product I hardly ever used. Well, I started using it every time since then and it reminded me of how amazing it was. It's a light lighter than a lot of the other bronzers I have ever used in my life, giving me a gentle glow rather than a harsh tan (I have found that darker bronzers are more likely to oxidise). I prefer this for my bronzers as, being a very pale person, I don't want the bronzer to look too harsh on my skin but I do want to darker it slightly. And another great thing is that it smells amazing too - just like chocolate!

The final beauty item of this post is the I Heart Makeup Unicorns Heart Highlighter, which I have been so desperate to own this, but it was always sold out on Superdrug. But then I found it on the brands website and ordered it straight away. This has become my favourite highlighter ever, as it is very pigmented, easy to blend and gives a beautiful glow. It's a rainbow highlighter which is great as you have a choice of just one colour or mixing them all for the out of this world glow.

Now onto the non-beauty items.

I have loved watching 'The Big Bang Theory' on Netflix recently, especially putting it on in the background whilst I have been studying. I have watched every episode of this show before (when I was very ill with tonsillitis for the first time last year) but it's so great that I will constantly watch it over and over. I study maths at A Level now and studied Biology at A Level a couple of years ago so there are some jokes within it that I do understand, but there are some that I don't understand and have to get my very nerdy science-y brother to explain to me! But I would recommend it to anyone looking for a very entertaining show to watch.

Another thing that I have been interested in this month is actually a very controversial subject, I've been interested in this before, but recently I have been looking into Astrology a lot. I know a lot of people don't believe in astrology but I always find it fascinating, such as the idea that your star sign can affect your personality. It's something that I would love to study in further depth in the future.

The final thing in this post is the SacconeJoly family and their Youtube channel. I heard about them a couple of years ago but only just started watching their vlogs within the past few months. And they're just the sort of family that you get invested in, as on camera they seem like the perfect family. It is the highlight of my day to watch their usual 15 minute vlogs. I also wanted to offer a massive congratulations to them on the birth of their new baby girl!

What have you all been loving this month? I'm hoping that the favourites post for next month is easier and better to write/read next month, as I am hoping this next month is going to be slightly more exciting (due to the Easter holidays),

I will be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

I've written posts about my makeup collection before and have even done a post about my favourite winter lipsticks. Despite how cold it still is, I really do not feel like it is winter anymore as everyone seems to be getting so prematurely excited for Spring. I've started wearing nude lip colours a lot more recently so I thought today that I'd share just a few of my favourites with you.

Probably my most favourite nude lipstick is the Collection Lip Butter in the shade 'Cappuccino'. I've posted about this lipstick A LOT in the past and will continue to do so as it is amazing. It's not the most pigmented lipstick ever but for just £2.99 it is amazing for that everyday look.

I have been obsessing over the Sleek Matte Me liquid lipstick in the shade 'Birthday Suit' for so long now and I finally bought it a couple of months ago. It is the perfect pink nude and dries to a matte very easily without drying your lips out too much.

Recently I have also been loving the Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in the shade 'Rose Tweed' which is actually a very similar colour to the Sleek lipstick but this Bourjois lipstick is a lot more moisturising and the colour pay off is amazing.

I now own 2 of the No7 moisture drench lipsticks and I love the shade 'Caramel Silk' as it is basically what you would call your lips but better. It's a great lipstick for that 'no make up' make up look and doesn't feel too heavy on your lips either.

A few months ago I bought my first ever NYX soft matte lip cream and I own the shade 'Abu Dhabi' which is one of the best nude shades I have ever used. It really is soft, easy to apply and dries perfectly. I find myself using this product a lot.

Surprisingly another nude lip colour I have been loving recently is a Primark lip crayon. It is their PS... velvet matte lip crayon in the shade 'Ballerina' and considering that it only cost me £2 I am really really impressed with this product. It applies perfectly, very creamy and the colour is brilliant. It doesn't dry too much either.

Please feel free to share your favourite nude lip products with me, as I'm always looking for new ones to try out.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!

With Christmas quickly approaching, everyone will find themselves being invited to at least one Christmas party - maybe for work or a friend's party. You need to make yourself feel as Christmas-sy as ever, but don't always know where to begin. So today I've decided to share with you my go-to Christmas party makeup look, and I hope you can all take some inspiration from this.

Day Four of Makeup Revolution calendar: Strobe Balm

1.Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 'Light Vanilla'
This is honestly one of my favourite foundations and I find it especially great during the winter months. It has great coverage but doesn't feel too heavy on the skin.

2. Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in '2- Cool Medium'
This is probably my holy grail concealer, as it offers such great coverage, is so easy to blend and doesn't crease. Plus it is so cheap, so is perfect if you're only looking to use it a few times over the festive period!

3. Rimmel Stay Matte powder
This is a product I have spoken about a lot before, and I genuinely love this powder. It's great to set your makeup so that it lasts the whole night while you celebrate the festivities with family and friends.

4. Bourjois Chocolate scented bronzing powder in the shade '51'
I must admit, I prefer using my Benefit Hoola bronzer to this, as it creates a sharper contour. However, during the winter months I like to tone down on my contour so I have been finding myself using this bronzer a lot as it is a lot softer in colour.

5. BareMinerals Ready Blush in 'The Indecent Proposal'
BareMinerals blushers are probably my favourite blushes by far. And this blush is perfect for the festive period, as while it is only a nude colour, it has the added shimmer that will help bring sparkles to your look this Christmas.

6. Sleek Solstice highlighter palette
This palette contains the best, but most intense, highlighters I have ever used, and an intense highlight is perfect for a festive look. For a Christmas party, I would personally use the shade 'Equinox' as it is a lovely peachy orange shade.

7. NYX eyeshadow palette
For Christmas, I love using red and pink toned eyeshadows as they're just shades that I usually associate with Christmas. So I was happy to remember that I had already put together a NYX quad of eyeshadows with these perfect shades in them! As a base and the inner corner, I would use the shade 'Cupcake' which is a lovely matte light pink. Then in the crease I would use the shade 'Starstruck' which is a lovely mauve pink shade. Finally, on the outer 'V' of my eye, I would use the shade 'Flustered' which is a deep red/rusty colour, perfect for the festive period.

8. BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow quad 'The After Party'
As well as loving their blushers, I also love the BareMinerals eyeshadows. To complete my eye look, I would put the lovely silver shade 'Mingle' for that added shimmer this Christmas.

9. Freedom Brow Pomade in 'Blonde'
I find that my eyebrows can always make or break a look, and I really love using this pomade because it is so easy to use and perfect for making your brows look amazing this Christmas period!

10. Benefit Roller Lash mascara
Usually I stick to my favourite No7 mascara, but recently I have been loving the Roller Lash mascara. It gives great length and volume, and really curls the lashes too. It adds great finish to any makeup look for the festive look.

11. No7 moisture drench lipstick in 'Caramel Silk'
Although I sometimes enjoy a bold lip, with having the red/pink eye look, I thought a simple nude lipstick would be the perfect end to this look. I love the No7 lipsticks too, as they really do moisturise and have great pigmentation.

So that is my festive party look for this year! Please feel free to share your festive looks with me.

I'll be back tomorrow with day 5 of Blogmas!

Hello you beauties!

Everyone who wears makeup knows how much the contents of your makeup bag can change between the seasons. So I thought it was only right that I would bring you an updated post on what is in my makeup bag this season!

1. Foundations and BB Creams - with the weather cooling down, I'm finding it easier and much more pleasurable to wear heavier coverage bases now. I have always enjoyed wearing the Garnier BB cream as it offered great coverage whilst still being lightweight, but I am also really enjoying using the Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix foundation.

2. Concealer - I'm only really using one concealer at the moment, and this is the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. I am loving this concealer because, during the colder months, I feel like my skin looks extremely tired, and so this concealer is really good at covering up my dark circles and blends very easily.

3.  Powder - as per usual, I stick with my usual and favourite powder, the Rimmel London Stay Matte powder. I never really use anything else regarding powder.

4. Bronzer - I am still using my favourite bronzer which is the Benefit Hoola Bronzer. Some things never change!

5. Blush - At the moment, I am loving the MUA blushes as they're so cheap but extremely pigmented. I also love the two Bareminerals blushes that I own, which are more neutral toned than the pinkish toned MUA blushes, so I use these all for different looks.

6. Highlight - Ever since I first bought it, I have been loving the Sleek Solstice highlight palette and it is all I use for my highlight anymore.

7. Eyeshadows - Maybelline Colour Tattoos are my favourite eyeshadows at the moment. This is simply because I have such adorable autumn colours of them, and they're so easy to apply.

8. Mascaras - There are two mascaras that I am using a lot during the autumn. They are my favourites the No7 Exceptional Definition mascara and the Princess Marcella Borghese Superiore State of the Art mascara. I find that both give me just as much volume and colour and curl as I want.

9. Brows - I am loving using the Freedom Brow Pomade in the shade 'Blonde' at the moment but I am also loving the Soap and Glory Archery brow tint and pencil in the shade 'Love is Blonde' as I don't always have a lot of time to do my makeup so I find the pencil a lot easier to use. I am also using the Seventeen Clear Definition clear mascara to set my brows.

10. Plum/Purple lip liners - Of course it'll be plum/purple shades at the moment. It is autumn after all! I own two of these lip liners which I do use a lot. These are a Makeup Revolution one in the shade 'Vamp' and a Laura Geller one in the shade 'Chianti', and both lip liners do an extremely good job.

11. Finally, plum/purple lipsticks/lipglosses - Again, more purple. These shades of lipstick are all that I wear at the moment when I go out. I have 4 lipsticks of these shades. These are the Laura Geller in the shade 'Cab Crush', Topshop matte in the shade 'Beguiled', NYX intense butter gloss in the shade 'Spice Cake' and the Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Print in the shade 'Vamped up'. These are all great lipsticks and colours, and I would definitely recommend them.

So that was my everyday makeup bag post for autumn! Make sure to let me know what you have in your makeup bag this season.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

As I said in my last post, this post would work really well with my previous post. Of course I'm right! This is an accessories post, a must to complete any perfect outfit!

1. Sunglasses are a go-to for me during the Summer, when the Sun actually appears! Not only do they look great but they're also very practical - I usually wear them while driving so that I don't cause any accidents! You can buy great sunglasses for a very low price from Primark, but I am also loving wearing my Bourjois sunglasses.

2. Floral crowns/headbands are something I love wearing during the Summer months, and these are even more perfect when paired with a lovely playsuit or dress. I don't like wearing the massive ones, but you can buy cute little headbands from New Look for a reasonable price. They're also great for festivals!

3. Little stud earrings are something I usually wear anyway but I love them even more in Summer. They look great with most outfits, and again I am loving wearing flower studs! My favourites at the moment are my Pandora daisy stud earrings, which are great paired with a summer dress.

4. I love wearing sandals during the summer as they look cute, are easy to wear and keep your feet so cool! I love wearing simple sandals as I can pair them with absolutely anything.

5. Watches are perfect accessories during the summer. With people travelling a lot more, it is handy to know the time without having to rummage around in your bag for your phone. I love wearing pastel or metallic coloured watches for that extra pop of colour.

So there were 5 accessories that I love during the summer! Let me know what your favourite summer accessories are.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

As Summer is here, the weather is often getting a lot warmer. So I felt the need to change my daily makeup routine, as during the winter I often had a much heavier and fuller coverage which would be too much for the hot weather. So here is my Summer makeup routine!

1. So after applying my primer, I would first usually use a BB cream rather than a foundation, as it still offers coverage but it is not quite as heavy as foundation. I would usually use the Dead Sea Spa Majik or Garnier BB cream, although I have also been trying out a Maxfactor CC cream too.

2. Next is my concealer, and I use the Bourjois radiance reveal concealer. I love this concealer as not only does it cover up blemishes and dark circles well, it also brightens your skin too, making you look alive and fresh for those summer days.

3. As I always do, I now apply a light dusting of my Rimmel London Stay Matte powder on the areas I get oily during the day.

4. I then move onto my eyes, starting with my eyeshadow. So I apply my eye primer, and the one I use is the GOSH roll on eye primer, which has become such a staple in my makeup collection recently.

5. For eyeshadows, I am loving nude colours but also with a touch of glitter, so I am loving using my Stila 'Eyes are the Window' shadow palette in 'Soul'. The eyeshadows are extremely creamy and pigmented and hardly ever crease, so I have found myself using this palette a lot.

6. I hardly ever use eyeliners, but in the summer days, I am loving applying white eyeliner to my waterline to give my eyes a little more definition. At the moment, I am using the Rimmel London soft kohl kajal eye liner pencil in the shade 'Pure White'.

7. Next I apply a couple of coats of my favourite mascara, the No7 Exceptional Definition mascara, on my upper lashes, and a coat of my Clinique bottom lash mascara on my bottom lashes. Mascara is definitely my holy grail product!

8. I love having lighter brows during the summer. So, I simply just use my Soap and Glory eyebrow tint and pencil in the shade 'Love is Blonde' followed by using a quick coat of my Maybelline brow mascara (the transparent shade).

9. I love love love pale pink blushers during the summer days! I use my Makeup Revolution Hot Spice palette a lot, but I have also been loving the MUA blush in the shade 'Lolly' this summer.

10. I usually forget to use lip liner, but when I do, I love to use clear lip liners as you can use these with any shade of lip stick/lip crayon. The clear lip liner that I use is a L'Oreal Paris one.

11. Pale pinks are a staple for me during the summer months, with the sun being brighter and lighter, so should our lips. So my darker pinks and purples are put to one side and out come my pale/light pinks and fushcia colours.

And of course, I use my Makeup Revolution setting spray to set my whole makeup look.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I would love to know everyone's summer makeup routines too! I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

We all know that sometimes beauty bloggers can have a lot of influence over us. I know that I have certainly been influenced quite a bit by other bloggers, and have even found myself buying things that they have recommended, and here is just a few of them!

1. LUSH lip scrub (£5.50)
I own the 'Bubblegum' one of these, which has the amazing taste of candyfloss. These are great, they really do exfoliate your lips and the fact that they are edible makes them even better. I probably don't use it as much as I should do to get the proper effects from it, but it really does help me out when my lips are extremely dry.

2. Soap and Glory Archery eyebrow tint and pencil (£10)
Now this was a bit of an impulse buy for me. I love my Maybelline brow palette, but I heard many great things about this Soap and Glory product so I thought I'd finally pick one up to try it out. I picked up the shade 'Love is Blonde' which is a (as you guessed) a light brow pencil, ideal for the blondes. I do feel like it is slightly too light for my brows, but paired with my Benefit 'Gimme Brows', I find I can build the colour up perfectly. It is so easy to use so I would definitely recommend that you try it too.

3. NYX lip products
Everyone has been raving about NYX since day one, and they've finally brought NYX to the Boots in my hometown, giving me the opportunity to try some of their products out. Their lip products are what most people talk about, so I decided that these would be some of the first things I tried. I have the Butter Lipstick in the shade Fizzies (£5.50), their Lip Lingerie Lipstick in the shade Bedtime Flirt (£6.50), a Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the shade Tea and Cookies (£6.50) and a Butter Gloss in the shade Madeline (£5). I really love these lip products and if you're ever looking for an affordable lip product then I would recommend NYX as you definitely get more than your money's worth with these products.

4. Clinique bottom lash mascara (£14)
This is a product that I haven't seen talked about much but should definitely be talked about more. I am one of those lucky people who have naturally long lashes, so extra length to my bottom lashes is not something I'm necessarily looking for. The smaller brush on this mascara means it is great for me to use on my bottom lashes as they're easier to reach and I can add colour without having to worry about having spider web eyelashes. Even though it is a bit more expensive than some good mascaras, it is definitely worth the money.

5. Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer (£7.99)
I have been struggling to find a decent concealer for so long, so when I heard Zoe Sugg talk about this then I was determined to try it out for myself. And it is definitely worth the hype. While it didn't cover everything up amazingly, it really brightened my skin and I will definitely re-buy this in the future.

6. MUA Blush (£1)
MUA is one of the cheapest brands I have ever discovered, and I find that a lot of people now have a lot of their products in their makeup collection now. I heard great things about their blushers, and I have always wanted to try out new blushers. So I picked up one in the shade 'Lolly'. It is a lovely subtle pink which is pigmented very well for its price, but is also very buildable to however you want it. I will definitely try out more of their products in the future.

7. Rimmel London Stay Matte powder (£3.99)
This product has been my holy grail item ever since I found out about it. I have it in the shade Transparent which I find is the safest option. It is so creamy and sits on my skin so nicely and sets my makeup perfectly. I can never imagine using a different powder ever again.

8. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (£15.50)
EVERYONE talks about this. I think this is a staple in most people's skincare routines now. It definitely is in mine. It really does cleanse my skin and always leaves me feeling so clean and refreshed. I would recommend you all buy this as soon as you can!

That is everything for today's post. I hope you liked it! I'll be back on Saturday with my Look Incredible review for you all.
