Whats in my makeup bag? March 2018

-
Hi guys!
wow its been a while since I've done a blogpost. but I'm feeling ever so determined to continue posting new content.

for my first post back, i thought i would do a 'whats in my everyday makeup bag' and show you the products I'm currently using and loving..

so here we go. 
the first being palettes!
the Kat Von D shade and light eye palette £37 this is my main palette, as i use it for my eyebrows! of course i also use it on the eyes, but that is my main purpose.
next is the Zoeva Matte palette £18 again these are pretty much my every day eyeshadow palettes. between the two there is a really nice mix of neutrals, warm tones and a few colours i like to play around with regularly.
the last palette i use on an every day basis is the Zoeva Basic moment blush palette £13. this carries a bronzer / contour shade, a blush and a highlighter, which is extremely handy that i can use one palette for all of my needs. also as both of my eyeshadow palettes are mattes, the shimmery highlight i often use all over my lids to break things up.

onto base products, i have other things that i use skincare wise, such as the no7 facial oil, serum and moisturiser, however i keep those separate, even though i use them most days and i love how they make my skin look.

for primer i use the smash box photo finish primer £26, i dont love this stuff, but I'm going to use it to purely use it up. after all I've already spent my money on it. as for foundation, 
in the little black pot i had decanted the remains of my mac studio fix fluid foundation, but i have recently finished that up and so i have swapped it out for a Vichy derma blend foundation £20, which i am absolutely loving. 
concealer wise, i have started to use the colour pop no filter concealer $6. whilst the concealer is an amazing finish and feels so lightweight, it oxidises a weird colour for me and creases a bit. i think when this runs out i may try a lighter shade!
to set my whole face i use the mineral magic foundation £9.99. it doesn't do all to much for me, but again, i want to get my moneys worth, and so i will use it until its done, but i probably wouldn't repurchase.
the sponge that i use daily without fail is the no7 sponge. i love this thing!
i also included my benefit high beam, i dont use it an awful lot, i always remember it after i have set my face, but it is a mini and so i am just trying to use it up.

for eyes and the rest of my brows i use the maybelline lash sensational mascara and the benefit ready steady brow.
lips, i always change out depending on my mood.





i hope you all enjoyed. I've missed making blog posts!

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick

happy Mondays all! here is a review on the Maybelline colour sensational lipsticks in three shades - 725 tantalizing taupe, 842 rosewood pearl and 630 velvet beige. love love love these. there isn't really much else to say. they're super moisturising and hydrating and have an amazing stay power. ive never really used any of maybellines products apart from the odd mascara or baby lips. but these I am so impressed with #630 velvet beige - this is probably the darkest nude shade ive owned, and on a good day it makes my face a bit brighter and not that i'm slightly dying.. but other than this it is such a beautiful colour. #842 rosewood petal - the only colour that has tiny glitter specs. when I saw that it had these specs it worried me as I thought it may be grainy however, it is far from that and I am so so happy with it. #725 tantalizing taupe - probably my favourite of the three as well as the palest. it is so unique as ive never seen a colour...

My Skincare Routine May 2018

-
hi all! i thought i would do a skincare routine, as i found when i was slightly younger, al the products the beauty you tubers used, were pretty damn expensive. all of my skincare at the moment can be found in a drugstore, minus a few extra bits that i like to use on occasion when i feel like i need it. starting off with a day I'm wearing makeup, i use the No7 Makeup wipes, this i use to take off all my face makeup, and as much of my eye makeup as possible. for wipes £7 is a lot of money,  so life hack!  when boots have the £2 off makeup and £5 off skincare vouchers, USE THEM! you can use the £5 off on their makeup wipes and they're only £2! i tend to stock up on them when i can get them cheaper while that offer is on. after this, i use soap and glory Face soap and Clarity face wash . this has micro beads in it, and i use that all over my face to get any shit out. this stuff leaves your skin feeling so damn soft!! as for cleanser, i tend to use whateve...
