FEBRUARY FAVOURITES INC MAKEUP GEEK, MORPHE BRUSHES & MORE.

 FEBRUARY FAVOURITES

Z Palette - Beauty Bay - £15.00
I decided to purchase the oh so famous Z Palette from Beauty Bay as I was running out of places to store my Makeup Geek eyeshadows and it was driving me mad keeping them in the little cardboard pouches. I decided to go for the black Z Palette as you may already know it's one of my favourite colours. The Z palette came with around 10 circular magnets and 10 square, which was great. Quick tip: make sure you have a permanent marker with you when you're creating your Z Palette as you can write the eyeshadow shades on the back of the magnets so you don't forget the names or what you're using.

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows  - Beauty Bay - £4.95 each

Ok so I've clearly started adding to my Makeup Geek collection and boy do I love this brand when it comes to their eyeshadows. The Makeup Geek eyeshadows are highly addictive and I want them all!  I just love how highly pigmented they're and how buttery the shadows are to blend out and work with. These are now my favourite eyeshadows to use for everyday use or special occasions. I can't wait to add even more to my collection. The last time I showed you any of these eyeshadows I only had a few, which you read all about just here. Also I don't know why Frappe and Cocoa Bear look so similar in the swatches above.

Vanilla Bean - Vanilla Bean is a gorgeous vanilla shade that has a peachy/beige undertone. This eyeshadow has a matte finish with a hint of sheen to it. I think this eyeshadow works well as a base when you apply all over the lid/eye area as a starting point for any eye look.

Peach Smoothie - This is a gorgeous light peach shade with a matte finish. I find that this eyeshadow works great as a transition shade. Although I have noticed more fallout with this eyeshadow than any of the others that I own. I love using this to correct any in corrections with darker shades in the crease.

Mocha - This is the best brown eyeshadow I've ever owned. Mocha is a deep, rich brown shade that has a matte finish. This eyeshadow looks amazing in the outer v when doing a neutral smokey eye.

Corrupt - When I first swatched this shadow I thought wow this really is black black! It might sound dumb, but theres a lot of black shadows out there that have grey/ashy undertones to them and it easily puts me off using blacks in any of my eye looks, not this one! This is the most gorgeous matte black eyeshadow with the slightest hint of sparkle.

Morphe Makeup Brushes - Beauty Bay

MB11 Angle Liner Brush - Beauty Bay £2.50 - When I first received this brush I was quite shocked at just how big it was, I was expecting something teeny, but as you can see in the photos above it's not really that small. This brush is definitely not one for a super fine line, but it is great for apply eyeshadow as a liner and I've been loving this one for my brows.

M330 Blending Crease Brush - Beauty Bay £4.75 - This is one of the best blending brushes I've ever owned. It is the perfect shape for the crease of my eye, super soft. The tapered point really helps to get that eyeshadow into the crease of the eye. When blending out those transition shades.

M422 Cresent Shadow Brush - Beauty Bay £3.25 - This brush is my new favourite brush for applying product to the lid. The density of the brush makes it easy to pack eyeshadows on the lid.

Real Techniques Beauty Blender - Boots - £5.99
I was desperate for a new beauty blender and after watching so many people use this one in their YouTube videos I had to give it a go. Now I haven't applied my foundation with a beauty blender for quite some time and I'd forgot just how great they were. The Real Techniques beauty blender is so soft and squidgy and leaves your makeup looking flawless. I use mine with liquid foundation and liquid concealer. I also found this beauty blender easy to clean unlike the other ones I've tried before that just ended up going in the bin.

L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara - Boots - £9.99
If you read my previous post you'll know just how much I loved this mascara. To read more about this mascara | click here. After I purchased this product I went home, removed my make up and tried it out. I was amazed right away. The comb is the perfect fit for the eye and it really does get to the root of the lashes. It must have taken me about 30 seconds/1 minute to apply one layer of mascara and to feel truly happy with the outcome of the lashes. How quick and ideal is that for when you're in a rush first thing in a morning?

DIRECT COSMETICS HAUL.

DIRECT COSMETICS HAUL.

Direct Cosmetics is an online website that basically stocks items for a lot cheaper than your retail prices. Everybody loves a good old bargain right? Well, recently I was given chance to pick out some of my favourite items from their online website. How exciting?! Now I hadn't really heard of the Direct Cosmetics website before. So I was over the moon when the contacted me as I love websites like these. When I had told my friends and family about this website they did question whether the items was actually genuine, but I couldn't fault them in any way, shape or form as all the products I received was top quality and I had no concerns with the items being fakes etc. So where do I start?

Loreal Lash Architect | Waterproof Mascara - £4.89 
Anyone that has read my blog for a while will know that this mascara is my go to mascara... 100%! So when I saw the waterproof version online I thought I'm adding that to my basket for sure. Especially with the warmer months cropping up, nobody likes that mascara dribble under or above the eyes do they? This mascara is great for adding volume and thickness, the brush is perfect too! I can't stand those horrible hard combs that come with some mascaras.

Rimmel Sun Shimmer | Bronzer - £2.99 
Here is another staple in my everyday make up routine. I've used Rimmel bronzers for such a long time as I refuse to pay 20 odd pound for one bronzer as I go through them too quickly. Hello bronze goddess (one can dream) ha! I got this bronzer in the shade 001 Sun Kiss, which is quite a nice colour for when my skin is more tanned. So it's going to be pair perfectly with my skin tone throughout the Summer, whether my tan is real or fake. Does anyone else go through bronzers like me? I don't know where they go, honestly.

Clinque chubby stick | Tinted Lip Balm - £3.99
I never fell into the blogger hype last year with all the chubby sticks. So when I saw this online for just £3.99 I just couldn't refuse. I decided to get this lip product in the shade voluptious violet, as I think it will pair perfectly with my berry lip liners, especially on those days when I don't want to wear a lipstick on top. Now I'm not usually the biggest fan of balms, but I couldn't really fault this one as it's ultra-hydrating formula left my lips looking and feeling amazing. So for those people out there that do appreciate a good old balm, I think you'd love these if you haven't tried them already.

Beyonce Pulse | Perfume 50ml - £5.99 
Can you believe that you can buy a perfume for just £5.99? That's 50ml bottles as well. Now I'm not usually a fan of 'celebrity fragrance', but I had a quick scout online at some reviews before I selected this one. This perfume is the perfect scent for the warmer months, now I don't know it it's the musk mixed with the jasmine or the vanilla mixed with the pear. Who knows? It's a gorgeous scent anyway that makes me feel like an hawaiian babe. Kind of reminds me of a suncream scent without the coconut. I honestly haven't stopped wearing it since I got it. It's the perfect price to repurchase and something you can wear with confidence everyday.

Elizabeth Arden Hydrating Mask | Face Mask 100ml - £6.99 
I couldn't wait to try this one. I've always loved the 8 hour cream from Elizabeth Arden, so I knew this was going to be good, or so I hoped. Basically all you have to do is apply the face to mask to a clean face and rub gently into the skin, leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes and wipe away. I find that heating up a hot muslin cloth and wiping off the mask is a lot better than using anything else. This product left my skin feeling nice and hydrated throughout the day.

Nicole by O.P.I | Nail Polishes - £1.99

These nail polishes were a great bargain at just £1.99 each, I've browsed this range in Superdrug many of times and refused to pay £7.99 as I hadn't tested any of them from this range before. So I got two polishes by Nicole - O.P.I. One in the colour Girl Talk, which is the nail polish on the left and it's the prettiest brown shade that I own. I nearly bought one from Essie that was really similar to this, so I'm glad I didn't. I then decided to go for a coral colour with it being Spring, you know, get me in the spirit and all that. This one is called Reach Out and this one isn't as full coverage like the Girl Talk, it goes on the nail kinda sheer I only tried this polish with two coats though, so maybe with a couple more layers it would turn out better?

All in all these products should of cost me a whopping £98.13. So it was such a bargain as I got all of these items for less than £30. How awesome is that? I'm all about saving money and I'll definitely be checking for bargains on their website the next time I'm after something new.

Have you shopped with Direct Cosmetics before?

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE FOUNDATION 24HR IN 260 GOLDEN SUN

 L'OREAL INFALLIBLE FOUNDATION 24HR IN 260 GOLDEN SUN

This is my holy grail drugstore foundation, hands down! I've bought more bottles of this foundation than any other foundation I've ever used/purchased before. Golden Sun 260 is around the same colour as NC30 in MAC Studio Fix Fluid, so it's a perfect match for my tanned skin during the Summer and for those fake tan nights out throughout the Winter. The longevity of this foundation usually lasts around 8-10 hours on my skin, which I think is amazing for a drugstore foundation! I haven't tried it out for longer than that though really so I wouldn't be able to comment on the foundation lasting '24 hours'. The coverage is light-medium, but I'd say it's more of a medium-full coverage foundation. So it's perfect if you want to cover up any blemishes and it does do that! It's comparable to the MAC studio fix fluid in consistency and how it looks on my skin. I don't really notice a difference between the two and that's for half the price I will pay for a MAC foundation. One pump is enough and sometimes I'll mix just half a pump with an illuminator for a lighter, dewy kind of finish. That's my favourite kind of finish and for some reason I always end up buying a matte finish? Just why? I do not know haha. If you could recommend any foundations with a 'dewy' finish that would be a great help. This one has a semi matte finish as it does have a bit of a glow to it once it has been on the skin for a couple of hours. This may be a downside to some people as it is suppose to stop shine coming through, but I like the dewy look that it creates. The consistency is on the thin side, which is quite a shock to say how good the coverage is. You'd of expected it to be a lot thicker. Yeah, so this makes it easier to blend into the skin and I've never noticed it being cakey. 

I love the fact that it comes with a pump dispenser (biggest pet peeve when they come without) and this pump is super easy to control. If you want half a pump, you can have half a pump. Now that's what I'm talking about! Overall I really, really like this foundation and I don't know if I'll ever find a foundation that suits my skin more than this one. Although I am dying to try the NARS sheer glow as I think it will be the perfect match from what I've heard, but it's just getting the right colour and the price is a little steep too. Have you tried NARS sheer glow? What is your holy grail foundation? I do like to try new ones from time to time ladies as I'm always on the look out for 'the one'. I do have to say this is mine up to now.

LOREAL TRUE MATCH - D4 W4.

 L'OREAL TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION IN THE SHADE - D4 W4 £9.99

THE OH SO FAMOUS YOUTUBE FOUNDATION

L'Oreal has always been one of my favourite brands when reaching for drugstore products especially when it comes down to foundations and mascaras. 

When using L'Oreal foundation previously I've always gone for the 16 hour infallible foundation rather than the true match, but after watching hundreds of YouTube videos including videos from one of my favourites who highly recommends this one (Lauren Curtis) I had to add it to my basket. I did use to use this when I was at college, but I probably chose the wrong colour so I'm pretending I've never used it.

The consistency of this foundation is really thin and lightweight, whilst the coverage is pretty light-medium, it's definitely build able though and blends into the skin quite well. This shade is perfect for my skin tone (when I'm not supporting a holiday tan). I'm usually MAC NC25 if that helps? They are very similar in colour as you can see in the picture below. The foundation does last around 6 hours on my skin, which isn't too bad at all and is perfect for a lightweight foundation throughout the Summer. Nobody wants to feel all cakey when the sun is shining do they? This foundation also includes an SPF 17 which is another great bonus! It has a natural finish, sometimes it can appear matte and other times it can have more of a glow to it, this might have something to do with the fact that it adjusts to your skin though and mines different every day so that doesn't help ha! 

L'Oreal always have super sleek/clean packaging and are yet to prove me wrong with any of their products. I don't think I've ever tried anything and hated it. I usually mix this foundation with the L'Oreal Lumi Magique illuminating primer as I like to have a bit of a natural looking glow to my foundation. I'm dying to try one from NARS, any recommendations ladies?

Sorry that it's been so long since I last posted guys, I've been without my laptop since before I went away as it came down with a stupid virus, which resulted in me loosing all my photo's etc. Major downer! I hope all is well anyway. It feels like I haven't wrote a post in far too long, but guess what? I'm BACK! eeeeek.

peekaboo.

Heyup cheekies!

So I've seen and read a lot of posts on here about 'what's in my make-up bag'

I'm always one of the last to jump on the band wagon.

 

 

A Pug make-up bag of course!

This was a present from my little brothers at Christmas

I believe it's from Next not too sure how much it was though.

 

 

So this is what I carry with me in my bag on a daily basis.

No wonder my bag is always so heavy! :o

I suppose I always think well you never know when you may need a touch up or if you end up staying over somewhere, I'd hate to be without my 2nd face.

 

 

From the left to the right:

(missing out the make-up brush)

as I can't remember where I got this or the price.

 

1. L'OREAL Paris mascara - Lash Architect - Midnight black 

 £12.99  Purchased from Boots drug store.

2. Rimmel London - Eyebrow pencil - 001 Dark brown

£2.99 from Boots but you'd be able to pick one up in most drug stores.

3. L'OREAL Paris infallible foundation - 260 golden sun

£12.99

4. Witch naturally clear - blemish stick

£2.89 this was also purchased from Boots drug store.

It's reall good for fresh spots, takes away the swelling etc. I've only just starting using this product this week as well, I'm quite impressed.

5. MeMeMe beat the blues - highlighter

I didn't buy this it came within a GLOSSYBOX.

But I love it! I apply it under my brow arch and in the corners of my eyes on a big night out.

6. Love me, love me not - Double sided mirror 

I picked this up from Claire's Accssories - £4.50

It's so cute.

7. (The Pink Blusher) GLOSSYBOX Blusher - Glossy rosewood

again this was sent in a GLOSSYBOX - such a nice colour to add to your cheek bones for the Spring/Summer.

8. Rimmel Natural Bronzer - 021 Sunlight - I don't really use any other bronzer's other than Rimmel and the very odd occassion I will treat myself to Benefit.

I got this from Boots - £5.59

 

What do you keep in with you on a daily basis?

Are you as bad as me?

 

 

Ok stop been nosey now!

I've just tanned myself with St. Tropez Bronzing Gel

I have no idea why I didn't do this last night as I've gotta walk round all day now looking like a wotsit! D: waaaah.

I hate how the lotion goes on it always looks so streaky, but it has the best results tan wise once I've had a shower and got all the mucky bits off. I'd say this is the only tan that doesn't smell like Hobnob biscuits too, BONUS!

 

 

I'm really looking forward to going out tomorrow night.

I hope y'all have a lovely weekend anyway.
