Favourite Drugstore Mascaras

Hey guys!

-

I am going to be doing a favourite drugstore mascaras post today because there have been quite a few mascaras that I have been loving recently. To be honest mascara isn't one of those make up products like lipstick or eyeshadow that I get excited about, it's more of one of those products that you put on because you have to like concealer and foundation.

So first is the Great Lash which is a mascara that I used to use all the time and I have just recently go into using again. The mascaras packaging is really bright which is really attractive, however the colour names are strange for example 'very black'.

Next is the Falsies mascara which is the classic mascara that everyone loves. I have used this mascara a few times before and I love the brush because it curves around my lashes perfectly.

I love the Rocket mascara because of the tiny teeth on the brush which define each lash and leaves no clumps. However this mascara can be pretty difficult to remove, but this can be a good thing if you are swimming etc.

Finally the Colossal Volume mascara is my very favourite mascara because the brush has really long teeth which means my lashes really do get extra volume and I end up with sort of a fan effect which draws attention to the eyes, and when I do wear my glasses this helps my eyes stand out under the lenses.

I hope you guys liked this post and comment your favourite mascara! Have a great night guys.

Favourite Lip Products At The Moment

Hello everyone!

-

Today I realise that I have been loving 5/6 lip products at the minute, and I haven't told you guys about them, so here they are.

-

Left to right - Chanel Mythic [discontinued] , Estee Lauder Vanilla Truffle

Estee Lauder A27, MAC Lipglass Ready Or Not, Chanel Lipgloss 99

-

So the Estee Lauder lipstick is a product that I have brought recently, and I think it might be my favourite lipsitck ever. It's quite a nude colour, however it's more coral than the Chanel lipstick 'Mythic'. Mythic is a colder nude, that has brown and purple undertones. 

The Estee Lauder lipgloss has a really good full colour and it's got a little sparkle in it. The MAC lipglass is the nicest colour lipstick I think they sell. It is a really thick lipsgloss and I love the applicator. Finally the Chanel lipgloss has the nicest applicator of all. It's not dense, synthetic and picks up the lipgloss well. It's like a light, synthetic lip brush. The lipgloss is really opaque and light which makes it really easy to wear and re-apply.

-

So the prices of the products are -

Chanel Mythic Lipstick [discontinued] : £25

Estee Lauder Vanilla Truffle Lipstick : £20

Estee Lauder A27 Lipgloss : £18

MAC Ready Or Not Lipglass : £17.50

Chanel 99 Lipgloss : £18.80

-

So as you can see they are pretty cheap for high end products, compared to some brands like Tom Ford. Thanks for reading and have a lovely evening.

February Favourites

Hello everyone!
-
 I don't usually do favourites on the month posts but it seems like I have been loving a lot this month. There are technically 6 favourites but I am classing two as one as they a very similar.

The Righteous Butter is my favourite body butter scent from Soap And Glory. It smells amazing but of course I can't really describe it. I brought this as a mini so I could travel with it.

Pearl Drops are a whitening formula toothpaste that I have been using for a few weeks now. Unlike whitening toothpastes I have used before, this one really is working and my teeth do look a few shades brighter.

La Roche Posay Moisturiser And Effeclar Duo are two products that I think I have reviewed before. I love both these products and use both of them after cleansing and toning.

Barry M Nail Varnish In Strawberry Ice Cream is a product that I have a picture of on my Instagram and included in a haul. I have been wearing it a lot because not only is it a long wear, chip resistant nail varnish, but also a pretty pastel spring colour.

Philosophy Granny's Apple Pie Body Wash, Shampoo and Bubble Bath is a product that was also included in my haul. I use this all the time now and I love it. To me, it smells like sweet apples and popcorn. It was half price I think at £3.50, but there was only one of these 100ml bottles left.

I have been loving all these products this month, particularly the Philosophy body wash. Thank you for reading everyone and have a lovely day.

Favourite Body Products At The Minute

Hello everyone!

-

I have been loving a few products at the minute that I really wanted to share with you guys because I would really recommend to you. Most of these products are from Soap And Glory, there is one from Laura Mercier and The Body Shop, and two from Lush Cosmetics. I am a sucker for body butters as you know, so the majority are body butters, but I have also been loving two face masks so I popped them in too.

Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream And Body Scrub

I got these products in a set after Christmas in Boots as they had all their sets at half price. This usually £18 set of Sugar Crush Body Butter, Scrub and Shower Gel was just £9. The body buttercream is really thick but feels kind of like a soufflé on the skin. There is loads of it in the tub so it will hopefully last me a while. The body scrub has a fainter smell, but it is really exfoliating. When I wash it off with the Sugar Crush body wash, my skin is smooth and soft, then I use the body butter over the top to finish it off.

The Body Shop Passion Fruit Body Butter

This product was on sale again after Christmas for £5, which is amazing! It smells gorgeous and if I was to describe it, I would say it smells like a tropical flavoured yoghurt. That sounds kind of gross but I promise it smells amazing. This body butter is a little bit drier than the Soap and Glory one, but just as, if not more moisturising.

Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Body Butter

This product was a Christmas present this year and I adore the smell. It was inspired by Laura's childhood growing up in France and all the Patisserie's. It really does smell like rich creamy caramel and it moisturises my skin perfectly without leaving greasy residue. I haven't used much of this because it is quite expensive at £27 tube, but I think I would repurchase it in a different scent next time, only because this one is slightly stronger than I would like.

Soap And Glory Righteous Butter And Scrub Em And Leave Em

These two mini tubs of Soap And Glory goodness are brilliant travel sizes. They both have a similar scent and I have almost ran out of both. I think these were £2.50 each so £5 for these two. 

Lush Cupcake And Oatifix Face Mask

If you saw my haul yesterday I did mention a little about the Cupcake face mask. I haven't actually used this yet, but I included it in this post purely for the smell. I literally smells like warm chocolate cupcakes/cupcake batter and mint. The mint isn't really overpowering like it is in the lip scrub, there are just subtle hints. The Oatifix face mask is one of my all time favourite Lush products. The soap that I had that was a similar scent is still my favourite Lush soap now, and I will really have to repurchase it soon. However I think some people really like the scent, and some people really don't (my mum for example - she hated the smell of my soap so much she thew it away) so I would advise you to head to a Lush store to smell it rather than rely on my poor scent description. I would say it smells like sweet porridge and bananas. That sounds just as disgusting as the 'Tropical Fruit Yoghurt'.

Well I hope you don't mind my scent descriptions (I'm working on it), but there are my favourite body products at the moment. Have a lovely evening and enjoy this Spring sun while it lasts.

Non Beauty Favourites

Hi guys!

-

This is my first non beauty favourites blog post and I don't really know why I have never done one before, because personally I love these posts.

-

I have 3 favourite fashion items at the moment. First is Topshop Leigh Jeans because they are so comfy and they fit perfectly. Second is a orange cami from Topshop which was on sale. It's a little thin, but they are good to wear with jeans, shorts and tucked into skirts. Finally I am loving my New Look fur hood parka. It's really warm and one of the cheapest fur parka's around at £30.

-

The film that I loved is 'Endless Love', which is a really sweet movie. I went to watch it with a couple of friends and I have to admit I did cry. There are a few TV series that I love at the minute. First is Modern Family, which is a TV show that I watch all the time and I love the story lines. I also am loving DCI Banks, which is a mystery drama with a story line that lasts for 2 episodes. My favourite song at the minute is 'Say Something' by A Great Big World.

Thanks for reading everyone and I hope you enjoyed this post! I will not be posting tomorrow but I will do a haul on Sunday.
