April Favourites♡

Hello lovelies! 

Today I have for you my April favourites! It's not quite the end of April yet, but I was very excited to do this blogpost as I have already sorted out all my favourites. I hope you enjoy! 

Firstly I'm going to start off with my makeup favourites....


I have absolutely been loving this avon bronzer in the shade "peach glow" I'm not personally a fan of this peachy blush in the pallete, but the bronzer is gorgeous and perfect for contouring! 

I've been really getting used to the Maybeline brow drama mascara recently. It's so easy to use and defines and adds a lovely tint to your eyebrows.
I popped into boots a few weeks ago to try and find a benefit kit... AND I FOUND ONE!! I got the "Happy Beauty day" kit and inside came porefessional,posietint and bad gal lash which are all in my favourite and I will talk about individually. But I have been using posie tint and been loving it! It has such a gorgeous bright peachy glow and I love it to pieces! 
 This is the porefessional by benefit and it's so good! I mainly just tend to put this on my nose to block out pores and to keep my makeup staying there and it really works! I am in need of buying a bigger version.
Lastly in the kit was this Bad gal lash from benefit and this is one of the best mascaras I have ever tried. I may just cry when it runs out... It's honestly so good and yet again I need to buy a bigger version! It separates my lashes and adds such amazing length to them!

Now my favourite favourites.... FOOD.

I literally die and go to heaven when I eat these! They are amazing and so yummy. I went into marks and Spencer's the other day to try to find them and I could not find them :( if anyone would like to send me a lifetime supply of these I would much appreciate it! 
 
My next favourite is not just a favourite... It's a addiction.
I LOVE SPIDERMAN.
Oh my god look at my pyjamas! I'm obsessed with marvel and spiderman of course, so when my mum got me these I basically cried.
My mother also bought me some spiderman tissues which I'm very greatful for. She said to me "when you watch spiderman you can now wipe your tears away with your spiderman tissues" god bless my mum.
I'm OBSESSED with the amazing spiderman films (1&2). 
On Easter Sunday, I went to go see the amazing spiderman 2 and let me just say I cried three times. It was absolutely incredible! I seriously reccomend it. I need to watch it again! 
If you don't know what spiderman looks like, this is him. Andrew Garfield *cries* 


I hope you enjoyed this blogpost! Sorry if I drowned you over my spiderman addiction... 

Love

My Everyday Makeup Routine♡


Hello lovelies!
Long time no see! Sorry I haven't been blogging recently. I have been quite busy but I'm hopefully going to get back into the routine of blogging! So, I was wondering what to post and then realised my everyday makeup has completely changed so today I'm going to show you my updated routine. 

I firstly like to start off with a primer. Not everywhere on my face just on my nose and most oily parts. This is the benefit porefessional but it's a mini :( I'm in need of buying a bigger one!
Next I like to apply concelar. Medium 3 and fair 1 don't actually match my skin colour and that's why I have to apply this before foundation... But anyway I put the lighter shade in the inner corner of my eye and the darker shade focusing more on the underneath.

Then, I like to apply my foundation. This foundation is lasting me so long and has done such an amazing job! This is the Bourjouis healthy mix foundation. It has a very light, dewy coverage and I love it.

I use real technique brushes for all my makeup. For foundation I use the buffing brush and for concelar I use the essential foundation brush.

I next like to contour and I use the avon glow pallete in the shade "peach glow" I'm not a big fan of the blush that comes with it!
For countouring I use the contour brush to get into the hollows of my cheeks and then the blush brush to blend the product in.
On top of the contouring, I use benefit "poise tint" this is such a gorgeous peachy, pink glow and adding it above the contour makes your cheeks stand out even more!
On to eyes, I love to use my naked basics pallete by Urban Decay as this pallete just has such simple but gorgeous colours in that are easy to use.
I like to apply "Venus" onto my brow bone, the whole of my lid and the inner corner. Then apply "naked 2" in the crease for some suttle definition and also under the eye.


I use the "domed shadow" brush for eyeshadow on my lid, crease and inner corner and then the "pixel point eyeliner" brush for under the eye eyeshadow.
Then, I use Benefit "Bad Gal lash" for mascara. I love this mascara, it's so natural and doesn't clump at all.
 For brows I use Maybeline's brow drama in the shade dark brown. This just adds a lovely tint of colour to your brows and defines them amazingly!
This step is vital for me, powder! I use the rimmel stay matte powder. This is such a trusty powder it does the job so well! To apply I use the multi task brush. 
And lastly, my favourite part of all, lipstick! I use this M.A.C lipstick in the shade "syrup". This picture does not do the lipstick justice! It's so gorgeous and has quite purpley undertones underneath the pink on top I find!

And here's the finished look! 

I hope you all enjoyed this blogpost! 

Lots of love

My Top Drugstore Makeup Products♡

Hello my lovelies! 
Welcome back to my blog!
Today, I thought I would go through my favorite drugstore makeup products. This may also help a few of you that are starting to use makeup too!


Primer

I have only ever used one drugstore primer and that's the Seventeen Stay Time Long Wear primer. It's actually very good and really helps my makeup stay.


Foundation 

I absolutely love the Bourjouis Healthy Mix foundation as it feels so light on the skin and has a very light coverage too! Also I know the Maybeline Dream Fresh BB cream is not a foundation, but it works like a foundation and has a lovely coverage. It looks so fresh and isn't Cakey at all and I would highly reccomend it!

Concelar 

These are the Collection concelars and I love them to pieces! They are so good and coverage up discouloration, blemishes and dark circles. I have three here because I wasn't quite sure which one was my colour... But I absolutely love this concelar and would highly reccomend it!

Lipsticks

I love this Kate Moss matte lipstick in the shade 107. It's a gorgeous dark red colour and stays on my lips for ages. I also love this revlon lip butter in the shade peach parfait. I seriously want more revlon lip butters as they are just so lovely! They are a mouisturising lipstick that do not add as much colour as normal lipsticks do. But they are amazing and would reccomend.

Blushes

I love the Maybeline dream touch blush in the shade "06" it adds a rosy glow to my cheeks and it looks really natural. The other blush here is the Seventeen instant glow shimmer brick. It's quite shimmery so I use it more as a highlighter kind of blush on the top of my cheek bones.
But it's gorgeous and I love it.

Powder

I have only tried one powder from the drugstore, but I really love the stay matte powder by rimmel. It does it's job really well and I like to take this powder with me throughout the day as I have really oily skin. Apparently this powder is essentially the same as the M•a•c mineralise finish one, so if you are looking for a cheaper version pick up this one! 

Brows 

I love this Maybeline brow drama sculpting brow mascara. It adds a lot of definition into your brows and keeps them in place, it's so good.


Eyeshadow

I'm afraid I have only tried one eyeshadow product from the drugstore (at least what I remember...) and it's the Maybeline 24h colour tattoo in the shade "pink gold" it's seriously amazing and adds a lovely colour to your eyes and literally takes a few seconds to put on! 

Mascara 


I am in love with the Big Eyes mascara by Maybeline! It just opens my eyes up and makes my eyelashes look so long! I love it so much! 

Brushes

The real technique brushes are honestly amazing! They are reasonably priced and so easy to clean! I seriously would reccomend them. They stay super soft too. 

So that's the end of this blogpost today, I hope you enjoyed it! 

Love

Pamper Evening Routine♡

Hello lovelies! 

So today I'm going to share with you my pamper evening routine. I'm doing one tonight so I thought I would share with you my steps! Hope you enjoy.

Firstly, I take off all my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing water. This is so good, I prefer to take off my makeup with a Micellar cleanser rather than a makeup wipe as they are bad for the skin.

Then, I like to apply a face mask. The one I'm currently using is the Catastophe Cosmetic face mask by Lush. This is really good for the skin and leaves it super soft and hydrated.
Next I will run a nice, warm bath. Unfortunately, I don't have any bath bombs :( so I'm just going to use the Snow Fairy shower gel to create lots of bubbles and clean my body with the Soap and Glory Clean on Me. This smells devine!
Then I will paint my nails. I put on a nail and cuticle oil before putting on nail varnish as it just softens your skin and smells amazing. I have been obsessed with this Topshop nail varnish recently and it's in the colour Parma Violet. Once that's dry, I will put on a clear coat and the one I'm using is a Maybeline colour show one.
Once my nails are dry in will use the soap and glory Daily Smooth body butter onto my skin. I love the smell it's amazing and just does it job very well.

I will then put on some comfy pyjamas. I'm not sure where the pyjama bottoms are from but they are so comfy and I love the tartan pattern. The top is a white plain one from Topshop and the fluffy socks are from primark. If you don't own fluffy socks you have never lived, they are heaven above!
Lastly, I will go into the kitchen to make a cup of tea and get a little snack. I have mini eggs here because why not it's Easter?! The rest of the night I will go on Netflix. It's an addiction I cannot get off of it! I just love Gossip Girl, such an amazing programme! 

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, maybe it gave you some inspiration for your pamper evenings!
