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!
Last week , my post told you about my favourite high end products, but I know that not everyone has that sort of budget, so I decided to tell you my favourite drugstore products too. I hope this again will be helpful for you all.
1. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
This is the first powder I ever used and, to be honest, is the powder that I reach for 99% of the time. It's not great on the areas where I get dry skin as it dries my skin out even more, but helps to make the rest of my face look even more flawless. It is really cheap too and really easy to get hold of as it is available in basically every supermarket and drugstore there is.
2. MUA Blushers
I wasn't sure about the idea of the MUA brand when I first heard of it as it is so cheap I was worried it would break out my skin. However, when I saw these blushers for only £1, I just had to try them out. And now I own them all. They are incredibly pigmented and blend very easily. The shade range is not massive but its good enough for beginners.
3. I Heart Makeup Unicorns Heart Highlighter
I have wanted a rainbow highlighter ever since I learnt that they actually existed - especially as I am obsessed with highlighters. So when I saw this one for only £5, I knew I had to buy it. And I do not regret it. It is a very large box, considering that it is very cheap, and the pigmentation is better than expected - it is very intense and I tend to reach for this one more now than the Sleek Solstice palette, which I used to use all the time.
4. Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil
I suppose I could say that the part of my makeup routine that is my weakest has to be my brows, but I suppose hardly anyone actually enjoys this part. I always struggle to get them even, and often en up making them look too dark,. Then I started using this product by Soap and Glory. It is so easy to use - the product from the pencil just glides on but suits the shade I wanted perfectly. This is probably the best eyebrow pencil I have ever used, and it is only £10!
5. Essence Lipsticks
For those of you who don't know, Essence is a brand linked to the store Wilko, which is one that I visit regularly. I have loved this brand for quite a while, and have got myself a pretty big collection of their nail polishes already. I also love their really cheap lipsticks - they're not the best lipsticks I have ever used but are better than expected for the price. I have the shades 'Barely There' (which as you can guess is a nude shade) and 'Natural Beauty' (which is a 'your lips but better' pink shade). I would definitely recommend these lipsticks to anyone looking to add to their collection on a budget.
What are your favourite drugstore products?
I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all.

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!
Can you believe it's March already! I can still remember Christmas like it was just yesterday and now 2 months of 2017 have already passed. So of course because it is the 1st of March, it means that today's post is all about what I was loving in February.
Let's start with the non-beauty items.
Something that hardly any of you know is that on the 3rd of February, I finally passed my driving test! It was actually my 5th time doing my test as nerves seemed to get the better of me and made the most stupid little things happen which meant that I would fail. So I knew this time I needed to do something to try and calm myself down. So I tried using Kalms tablets and these are honestly amazing! People said to me that these tablets are basically just a placebo and maybe they are but they really did work for me and even my driving instructor commented on how much calmer I seemed this time. And of course I passed so I plan to tell anyone who will listen about how amazing these tablets are! They're great to use if you suffer from mild anxiety with anything.
The next non-beauty favourite for me this month definitely has to be Youtube. Who doesn't love Youtube!? I was ill for a week or so in February and so didn't really have much energy to do much, so I chose to just watch Youtube videos instead. My favourite Youtubers at the moment are obviously people who upload beauty videos, and a few of my favourites at the moment are sophdoesnails, Sophie Louise, Emily Canham and Just Jodes.
Any English Literature student will know that when you study novels, you kind of get put off of reading for pleasure outside of your course. But recently I've been trying to read a lot more to help me settle down properly before I go to sleep and I've been leaning towards the author D H Lawrence as he was born in the same city as me and his writing style is just amazing.
My last non-beauty favourite of February is a city, and this city is the beautiful Brighton! Everyone who knows me well knows how obsessed with Brighton and I have actually chosen to go and study there in September. So this month I went to visit the university and I also decided to look around the city while I was there. And I immediately fell in love and I really can't wait to move there in a few months time.
Now onto the beauty favourites.
I've mentioned this product in quite a few posts before, but I have recently starting using the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish again. I used to use it all the time and then for some unknown reason didn't really use it at all. I've started using it a lot more recently and I use it now mainly to remove my makeup, as it just makes my makeup melt off of my face. And it leaves my skin feeling really smooth and fresh too. It's definitely worth the money.
The next is a recent discovery. I was in desperate need of dry shampoo and I usually use Batiste dry shampoo but couldn't find any. So when I was out at the shops one day I picked up the Girlz Only Dry Shampoo which is considerably cheaper than the Batiste dry shampoo that I usually use. I love the scent and it really does it's job. I would definitely recommend trying this out for yourself.
I was surprised when I realised I loved the Primark Velvet Matte lip crayons as I honestly was worried that they just wouldn't work for me because they're matte and so cheap at only £2 each. I have the shades 'Ballerina' and 'Mushroom' and they're the easiest shades for me to wear. Sometimes they do feel quite drying but if I get to that point then I will just apply a clear lipgloss over the top and then it feels perfect.
My final favourite for this month is again another rediscovered favourite. It is the Rimmel Stay Matte powder which I stopped using when I bought the NYX finishing powder. Not using it so much has made me realise how much I do love it and now I've started using it even more and I will honestly repurchase this in the future as it is perfect and so cheap. I have actually hit pan on it now, almost a year after purchasing it!
So these were my favourites for February! What were your favourites this month?
I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all.

Hello you beauties!
Welcome to the second post of my brand fortnight! Last time we looked at the NYX products that I loved. Now, it's Rimmel London's turn. Rimmel is probably the first drugstore brand that I ever used and while it is not the best brand out there, it certainly is good if you want something decent for a cheap price.
One of the foundations I use a lot at the moment is the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation and while it is not the best foundation I have ever used (I prefer my Bourjois one most of all), it certainly is great for the price. It offers great coverage for around £8 and doesn't go cake-y or oxidise on your skin.
Before I discovered the Freedom Brow Pomade and Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil, I would use the Rimmel eyebrow pencils quite a bit. They weren't the best, especially because I couldn't find a shade that matched my brows perfectly but if used with a delicate hand, then they could be enough just for everyday use. And they're a great bargain for just £3.99!
My staple powder has always been Rimmel's Stay Matte powder as it is a great setting powder. It really does make you look matte and doesn't make your makeup cake-y throughout the day. It's great if you just want a cheap powder too, as they're only £3.99 each.
When I first heard about their Kate Moss lipsticks, I was excited. And the shade range is amazing. They're amazingly pigmented and very creamy. They're easy to apply and don't dry out my lips. I would definitely recommend these lipsticks if you want some on a budget.
Rimmel's lipstick crayons were the first makeup products I ever used and I am honestly so amazed by the quality. I bought them from B&M for only £2.99 each compared to the £8 they'd cost in Superdrug and Boots. Even for £8 they're worth it. They are very pigmented and creamy and last basically all day. These are products that I will always use, even in the future.
So these were my favourite Rimmel products. I'd love to hear what Rimmel products you love too!
I'll be back on Wednesday 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 you will all obviously know, we all have our makeup items that we swear by, ones that we don't know if we can live without, ones that we will definitely repurchase in the future. Well, here is my list!
The Rimmel London Stay Matte powder is honestly the only powder I use. And I know there are probably other great powders out there, but I feel like this one does a brilliant job and its really cheap too so I will definitely buy it again.
I bought my first Soap and Glory archery brow pencil and tint not too long ago, and it has become one of my favourite products in my collection. I struggle to find good brow products for me, as I have naturally blonde hair but darker eyebrows, but dark eyebrow products make me look stupid, but the colour of this brow pencil in 'Love is Blonde' is just perfect for me, and I will buy another one when my current one runs out.
I got my first No7 Exceptional Definition mascara in a Look Incredible box a few months ago and since then I swear it's the only mascara I ever use. It's perfect for those natural 'no makeup' makeup looks. I have actually already repurchased it, ready for when my current one runs out.
I never have much luck with bronzers, so when I first purchased the Benefit Hoola bronzer, I was a bit worried in case it didn't suit me, meaning I would've wasted a lot of money. But it's the perfect bronzer! It's very subtle meaning it is perfect for contouring and doesn't turn orange either.
My first ever lip crayon was by the Collection brand, and even though they're only cheap, they're brilliant products. They're actually quite moisturising and give a great colour pay off. The one in the shade 'Cappucino' is actually my fave lip product of all time, and I have actually already repurchased one because my current one is almost gone!
Now, saying I would repurchase a Topshop lipstick might not be the most logical thing I could say, as I only own one, but because of the amazing quality of the one that I own, it means that I would not say no to buying another one. The one I have is a matte one in the shade 'Beguiled', which is a plumish red colour. Those are two things I used to hate - mattes and dark colours. But this lipstick made me love them as it's not too drying and the colour doesn't run or anything like that.
Finally, I would definitely repurchase the NYX Intense Butter Glosses. While I don't usually wear lip glosses, because of the colour pay off of these glosses, I would say they are more like liquid lipsticks. While they don't dry completely, they don't actually feel sticky and don't run either, which makes them so lovely to wear.
Make sure to let me know what things you will repurchase and perhaps try and persuade me to buy them myself!
I'll be back on Saturday 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.

3. Bourjois Radiance Reveal concealer in the shade '01-Ivory' - £7.99
