Hello Everyone!

Hello Everyone!

This is my everyday drugstore makeup tutorial. I hope you enjoy!

Firstly, I prepped my skin with Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean, Botanics Hydrating Day Cream and Botanics Hydrating Eye Cream.

Then I applied one pump of Rimmel Match Perfection evenly all over my face with Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

Next I moved on to my eyes and used bronzer (MUA Bronzer in Shade 3) all over my lid to give a me-but-better colour to them. I used the matte end of the brush that came with the Smashbox Full Exposure palette but you can use any medium sized shadow brush.

I then went into the crease with Rimmel Colour Rush Mono Eyeshadow in 033 Dusk which is a matte dark brown shade and just blended it from the outer-v to the inner corner of my eye with Real Techniques shading brush. I went in with the other shadow brush to blend it up to my brow bone.

After that I used L'Oreal Blackbuster felt tip liner to create a simple thin line on my upper lash line. You can do a cat-eye or whatever look suits you!

I used my Eyeko lash curler to curl my lashes then one coat of Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Super Volume Mascara then another of Maybelline The Rocket Volume Volum' Express Waterproof to set it in place on my upper lashes.

Next I started on the brows by combing them through with a spooly (mascara wand with no mascara on it!) then doing my usual routine with a flat angle brush and Shade M6 from the Full Exposure palette. Setting them with 2True clear mascara


Then I carried on with my base with L'Oreal True Match Concealer in 3 Crème under my eye, on any redness and on some blemishes. I blended it in with Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I used Rimmel Stay Matte in Transparent to set it with a powder brush.

I then blushed with Bourjois blush in Rose Ambrè on the brush it came with, bronzed with MUA bronzer in Shade 3 on the Benefit Hoola Bronzer Brush and highlighted with Studio highlighter with a powder brush.


Lastly I lined and filled in my lips with Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses in 600 Carry On Cherry.

Hello Everyone!

So Saturday I went on a HUGE shopping spree! I thought I'd share some of the things I got with you. Enjoy!

I love this outfit! I think it looks so sunny and fun! I bought the jumper yesterday. The front is see-through with crochet flowers and I put the yellow vest top underneath - I think it looks super cute! This look would be perfect for a cool summer day you could definitely wear it with black or denim shorts for hotter days.  

Jumper - Primark £8
Vest - Primark £2
Leggings - Topshop £12
Sunglasses - Primark £2
Flip Flops - Accessorize £8











This top is the bomb! It has flamingos and blue flowers with leaves all over I also love the lace trim that goes all the way round the top! Sorry I didn't have my bottom half but I loved this pic. I just had leggings and golden strappy sandals. You could wear this for a casual meal out maybe and you could jazz it up with a black skirt.

Top - Warehouse £10 (In Sale)
Leggings - Topshop £12
Sandals - New Look £5 (In Sale)











 This is the most reasonably priced dress I have ever bought! It was only £5! I love it though! It is very simple but you could totally dress it up a bit with a gold necklace, bracelet or something. I have gone for a daytime special occasion kinda look. But you could definitely dress it down with some golden or tan sandals.

Dress - Primark £5
Wedges - New Look £39.99 
This is a preppy yet cute outfit and I love it! I would wear it for day out with bf or as casual evening wear. I really wanted to wear a daisy necklace to match the print of the skirt but I don't have one so that is now on my shopping list! Just add a necklace and lose the cardigan for a more glam look.

Vest - New Look £3.99
Cardigan - GAP £12.99 (In Outlet Sale)
Skirt - USC (Soul Cal) £18
Shoes - Fred Perry £24.99 (Outlet)











This is a really casual outfit perfect for summer adventures or lazy days. The top is actually quite long but I tucked it in. Untucked without shorts, it would look awesome with a bikini underneath by the pool or on the beach. For a smarter look you could swap the shorts for a black maxi skirt. I was wearing gold sandals; and my charm bracelet had the Eiffel Tower, postcards and blacks ribbons going round.

Vest top - H&M £3.99
Shorts - H&M £14.99
Sandals - New Look £5 (In Sale)









OMG! This is by far my favourite outfit! It is a skater dress with a very low back which is so cool and makes it quite dressy. The print is very bright but is toned down slightly by the pastel pink background. The shoes are less dressy but you could easily wear stilettos.

Dress - H&M £12.99
Shoes - New Look £24.99 (I think!)












  

I am loving this! The necklace and the shorts are very Aztec and Boho. This is a great look for a lunch date. Simply take off the necklace for a more casual look. I was wearing the golden sandals! It would look awesome with lots of gold rings!

Cami Top - Primark £2
Shorts - Forever 21 £12.75 (I think)
Necklace - Primark £4
Sandals - New Look £5 (In Sale)










I hope you enjoyed this post and I will talk to you soon,

Hello Everybody!

Hello Everybody!
                              Thank you to whoever wrote this cute little note!

Hello Everybody!

So today I thought I would give advice to anyone who is just starting out in makeup or just wants some budget essentials to add to their collection!

To start with a Foundation! I am loving Rimmel Match Perfection at the minute. It's light weight and long lasting which are the two things I look for in a simple daytime foundation. It comes in 10 shades from Porcelain to Bronze. This product has matte finish but I don't find it at all drying. It is one of the cheapest of its kind on the market at the minute at a RRP of only £6.99!

Next up a concealer. I have chosen Natural Collection Cover Up Cream. It's a Boots own brand product but it worked really well! This is one of the cheapest concealers I could find for you (and I happened to own it) coming in at a only £1.99! It works for spots, blemishes and dark circles so an all-in-one product. The only thing I would say about it is you have to work speedily because it tends to set quite quickly.

For a bronzer I have chosen MUA Bronzer. I have this in Shade 3 which I use for a strong contour on the go as it fits perfectly in the side pocket of my bag! This is a really good product considering it's only £1.00! It is smooth and blendable which is great but it isn't very pigmented so I have the darkest shade which seems to make up or that.

Now then, for blush I chose Rimmel London Lasting Finish Mono Blush. I am not a big fan of blush but this is a good one! It is quite pigmented, blendable and just ticks all the boxes for a drugstore blush. It only comes in 4 shades which is a shame but they cover all basis! For £3.99 it's a good one to get!

Sadly I don't own a drugstore highlighter so I can't give you a personal opinion on this one but I suggest you that if you are starting out in makeup or need something basic you maybe should use a highlighting concealer for example Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer for a more natural, easy to apply highlight!
Grab it here http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Illuminating-Touch-Concealer_867449/

Next for eye shadow I have chosen for you guys Barry M Natural Glow Eye Shadow and Face Blusher Palette (Yes you read it right it comes with a blush!). This palette is brilliant! This palette has six neutral tones and one blush at the end which are all very pigmented and blendable. Neutral tones are a great starting point and at a price of only £6.49 I would defiantly recommend this! It also comes with two sponge applicators, which personally I don't get on with, but maybe you will!

Another eye product now and it's an eye liner! I have chosen a pencil eyeliner because they are the best to start with because they don't smudge too easily and barely ever transfer making the learning process a lot easier. Also if you just want something basic a pencil is a great option. This product is 2True Easy Glide Kohl Pencil. This black shade isn't too pigmented which is good for a starter because it will help keep any mistakes less obvious. It is only £1.99 which is bonus!

Mascara was easy for me! This is Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara. This is AMAZING! Lengthening, not clumpy, add volume and everything else you could wish for! It's £7.99 which is on the pricier side but totally worth every penny!
Grab it here  http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Falsies-Mascara-Very-Black_1439559/

Last but not least a brow product! Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil is awesome. It's a simple pencil with a brow brush on its lid which is a bonus. It is a simple product but worth it and only £2.99
