MY FAVOURITE DRUGSTORE LIPSTICKS.

MY FAVOURITE DRUGSTORE LIPSTICKS

RIMMEL LASTING FINISH - KATE MOSS - 03 - £5.49
This has to be my favourite nude lipstick when it comes to snapping up a cheap one. 03 is a nude/pink on me which is the perfect shade for my NC30 skin tone as it doesn't wash me out. I would say to swatch before you buy though as it does look a little more orange toned on my friends lips, but she is fair skinned. This lipstick leaves your lips feeling super hydrated throughout the day.

TOPSHOP LIPS IN PEACH SUNDAE - £8.00
The most gorgeous peach coloured lipstick when shopping for a cheap one I wear this lipstick every night when I'm on holiday. Now I'm not too sure if this colour has discontinued as I couldn't find it online, but there is a very similar colour called 'Ohh La La' which is within the link. Peach Sundae glides on the lips like a dream! I really like Topshop for lipsticks and guess what? They often get compared to the MAC lipsticks. 

NO.7 STAY PERFECT LIPSTICK - 15 GAY GERANIUM - £9.75
I was debating on purchasing MAC Morange, but it looks a little 'out there'. So then I was on the hunt for the perfect orange/red lipstick. That's when I came across this little tube of fairies! I haven't stopped wearing this lipstick. It has a satin matte finish and lasts so long on the lips!

RIMMEL LASTING FINISH - KATE MOSS - 110 - £5.49
I'd say I wear this lipstick the most out of all the red lipsticks that I own. The colour is just b-e-a-utifuuuuuuul (yes that was my inner Jim Carrey shining through). The only thing I could fault with this lipstick is that it is a matte - matte finish. So if you continually top up the lipstick it can look a little clumpy. The best thing to do is just wipe off any excess and then re-apply. I always get compliments when I wear this lipstick.

TOPSHOP LIPS IN RIO RIO - £8.00
Looking for the perfect bright red lip with orange undertones? Look no further, lips in Rio Rio is to die for! This lipstick is the perfect shade for a retro/vintage make up look and it has a satin matte finish. So a little more moisturising than your standard matte lippies.

MUA - SHADE 1 - £1.00
Like your lips to look a little on the vampy side without it looking too much? This shade is perfect! Now I'm not one that can pull off the dark purples lips etc. Least I don't think I can. This one is just enough for those who are just daring to go onto the darker side of lipsticks.

So there we have it, my favourite high street/drug store lipsticks. It was quite hard to narrow it down as you want to include them all don't you? But I had to go with theses as I wear these 6 lipsticks the most out of them all. Well I hope you enjoyed that one! I absolutely love reading these kind of posts although they usually send me on a buying spree... shock! What's your favourite drugstore lipstick?

MUA Pro Base Eye Primer - Review.

 

 

Make Up Academy - Pro Base - Eye Primer

 

Everyone hates it when they go out the house looking/feeling fab and then a few hours later they look at themselves in the mirror... to find the make-up they applied this morning appears to have disappeared.

I am always on the look out for new products to try out which may help my make-up stay put for longer.

When I noticed this MUA eye primer for a bargain price of £2.50 for 7.5ml, how can you not try it out for that price?

I thought that the packaging is quite sturdy but look's a little bit cheap. To apply the eye primer the product comes with a wand to apply (kind of like the collection concealer) we all know what that looks like don't we? When applying it does look like a concealer but blends in quite well and absorbs quite fast as well.

I applied one eye without the product and one eye with it. I found that the primer gave my eyeshadow a bit more of a pop! So the eyeshadow looked more vibrant than usual. but I didn't think it made my eyeshadow stay put any longer than it usually does.

So all in all really I don't feel like I rate this product that much but I'm going to try it for a full week as I feel like I had a bad make-up day yesterday when trying this out.

 

Have you tried this product before?

Is there any good eye primers out there?

MUA.

Howdddy!

Hope you're all fine and dandy!

So my blog today is going to be about one of my favourite May purchases.

 

As you already know I love the MUA make-up brand that you can purchase from any Superdrug drug store.

If I'm honest I've only ever tried their lipsticks, which I highly recommend you all to try.

But I saw this palette of theirs online and thought I'd give it a try.

 

MUA - UNDRESS ME TOO PALETTE. 

I can't believe this eyeshadow palette was

ONLY £4.00.

 

The Palette comes with the double ended sponge applicator and has 12 lovely shades from nude to black. Perfect colours to create a natural smokey eye.

Top from left to right: Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy.

Bottom from left to right: Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink, Obsessed, Corupt.

 

I must admit I'm not the best at applying eyeshadows as I've only just started wearing them really. So I'm trying to tackle this blending technique, I have to watch the tutorials on Youtube to help me out so if your anything like me have a look on there.

 

 

 

Step 1. Cover the base of the eyelid with shade Shy with the sponge applicator.

Step 2. Apply Lavish in the crease of the eye to create a pinky browny shade and blend with a blending brush.

Step 3. Patting gently on the eye with Shade Devotion up to about halfway across the eye getting lighter as you work to the inside of the eye.

Step 4. From the outter eye blend Shade Fiery about a third of the eye inwards.

Step 5. Use shade Corrupt (I blew my brush before applying to the eye) and just work it round the corner of the eye and into the crease.

Step 6. With a small slanted firm brush apply shade Corrupt as  you would apply eyeliner to the top and bottom of the eye.

 

 

 

And there you have it a natural smokey eye perfect for an everyday look :)

 

Excuse my eyebrows they're in need of a serious plucking the little slugs.

I really need to get use to applying eyeshadows I always feel like I've got too much make-up on when I wear it, kinder like a hooker or something but I love seeing other people with it on.

 

I can't wait to try some more of their eyeshadows and other make-up products now and you can't say no to the price's either as they make their make-up affordable for us all and for good quality too which you don't get often.

 

What's your favourite eyeshadow brand?

And does anyone know what colour suits green eyes best?

glad rags on.

Hey!

Hope all is well Bloggers?

So I went out Saturday night and it was brilliant! Although I was in bed most the day yesterday nursing my horrendous hangover. It was definitely worth it though!

I love these eyelashes from Eyelure in - 140 purchased from my local Boots drug store. I have to cut mine down in length though, I must have really small pea eyes? haha.

I added some more highlights through my hair, Spur of the moment thing Saturday! Not too sure if I'll keep it though.. what do you think? :/

I love this lipstick by MUA in shade 1, which was only £1.00. Everyone loves a bargain, right?

This is me and my sister (just taking a few snaps on my phone before we went out).

So I wore my dress from Missguided which I previously blogged about. I just made sure to style it different with plain black high heels, the black and gold bag which was from Dorothy Perkins (was only £10.00 in the sale) and the chunky gold bangle from H&M which was £4.99.

Dress - Missguided

Bag - Dorothy Perkins

Bangle - H&M

Heels - Next

Hope you all had a lovely weekend anyway.
