My Favourite Cosmetic Products At The Moment

Hi everyone!

-

I know I have done a lot of these round ups/lists recently but I had a few favourites I wanted to share with you guys!

-

There are 5 items that I may have used/mentioned before in posts so sorry if some are repeated.

 Left to right - Clinique Superprimer, Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation shade 2, Garnier Roll on shade

 This is a mini version of the Charles Worthington heat protection spray and unlike other products it doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky

 I have been loving this mini Dior Addict lipgloss. It came in a set I got quite a while a go but I still love this product. It's quite a light pink colour and I wear it over my MAC blankety lipstick. I also think this gloss will look really pretty in spring/summer.

 Just a closer look at the products

Make sure to comment your favourite product because I love to read your guys comments!

Mascara Round Up

Aloha everyone!

-

I realised that after scouring Yahoo Answers there were a lot of questions about mascara's and what the best high end and best drugstore products were on sale so I thought I would give my take on the best mascara's, high end and drugstore.

-

This one has been my favourite for a while because of the amazing volume it gives my lashes. It almost gives a false effect which I love for nights out, also there are zero clumps so it works great if you like a natural look aswell.

(Colossal Volume Mascara)

 This is a similar mascara but this one is hyped about a lot more than colossal volume. This one is the Rocket mascara and it has such a large wand with tiny teeth but plenty of them for a full effect and minimal clumps. I don't find that this mascara gives as great length as the colossal volume mascara does but I still love it for an everyday mascara.

(The Rocket Mascara)

 You might have seen this in some of my videos/posts before because this is my go to mascara every morning for a fresh but popping look on the eyes to complement my eyeshadow and liquid liner. 

(Clinique High Lengths Mascara)

 This mascara is a new discovery and the very first thing I loved about this product was the spiceberry coloured matte packaging giving the product a high end feel. The other thing I loved was the curved wand. It really helps extend the length of the lashes and it's really is a 'does what it says on the tin' product because it defies the dreaded clumps day in day out.

(Clump Defy Mascara)

 I haven't met one person that dislikes this mascara. It really does give a fake effect without leaving specks of black on my face or leaving clumps on my lashes. It gives an elongated effect without appearing false and this is one of my favourite mascara's of all time.

Well thanks for reading everyone and had a lovely wednesday! Tomorrow I will be posting a requested post (Thank you MeganDoll) 'My Lipstick Round up'. Bye!

Favourite High End Products Of 2013

Good evening everyone!

-

Well I am going back to school tomorrow so I need to get my make up sorted and whilst looking through there were a few high end products I received this year that I love so I thought I would share them with you guys!

-

If you are a regular reader you will know that I adore this lipstick because it's the very first MAC lipstick I ever brought. I always get comments on this colour when I pull it out my make up bag because the colour really is gorgeous. It's quite a dark pink colour so it doesn't wash you out like most nudes, and it's very subtle when it's on. It isn't that matte however if my lips are flaky (which they rarely are) it can tend to cling a bit but a bit of gloss sorts that out.

(MAC Blankety Lipstick)

 If you saw my haul post you will have seen me mention this blush. I love this blush because the colour is so spring/summer however it also gives a lovely fresh glow in winter too. I would repurchase this over and over again however I do like trying out different colours with blush so I would perhaps try dolly mix next time. The only downfall with this product is you have to apply quite a lot to get a good colour however it is build-able and not cakey at all.

(MAC Stay Pretty Blush)

 This is the only product in this post that isn't MAC! This primer is so amazing and I would recommend to everyone - whatever your skin type. I have quite oily skin but it doesn't at all increase that. It sinks into the skin well and gives me a nice base coat that doesn't make my foundation settle on top of my skin with visible brush marks.

(Clinique Superprimer)

 These paintpots are my new favourite thing! I adore this product because unlike other cream products I have tried it is blendable and buildable however it maintains a beautiful colour. I would repurchase this very colour because it is so beautiful however I don't know if I would apply one colour paintpot then another colour paintpot over the top because I think they would mix quite a bit creating a bit of a strange colour but as a base with a powder eye shadow as well they are great.

(MAC Paintpot In Bare Study)

 Finally another one of my Christmas presents. I pretty much liked my Rimmel Stay Matte powder however with finding my skin getting more and more oily since using the much more fluid Rimmel Match Perfection foundation I wanted a better coverage powder. This powder gives amazing coverage and I think in a day I might re-apply this product about twice which is really good seeing as my previous powder would need about four applications a day.

(MAC Studio Fix Powder)

So comment your guys favourite high end product of 2013! I have just loved MAC in 2013 and probably will increase my collection this year. Thank you for reading!

Drugstore Make Up Routine vs. High End Make Up Routine

Hello lovelies!

-

As promised here is my drugstore vs high end make up routine, and when I say make up routine I mean from foundation to lipstick. Obviously people have different ideas of what high end and drugstore make up is, so I have pretty much used products that you would typically find in a drugstore for example Boots for those in the UK and then make up you would typically find on counters. I apologise for having two videos, but I couldn't fit in the two whole routine into one video!
