The Cost Of My Daily Makeup

Hello everyone,

I have been looking at blog post ideas lately, and came across a post about how much you everyday makeup costs, this is going to be interesting to see how much my daily makeup is, but good for you to see what my makeup consist of on a daily basis.


The makeup -

Estee Lauder double wear foundation - £30
NYX HD concealer - £5.50
Nars radiant creamy concealer - £22.50
Clinique contour chubby stick - £19
NYX born to glow highlighter - £7
MAC mineralise skin finish natural - £24
Benefit Hoola - £23.50
The Balm tro luminisers - £24
Mac Mocha blush - £18.50
Mac painterly painterly pot - £16
Naked 2 palette - £38.50
L'oreal So couture liner - around £7
Benefit Rollerlash - £19.50
Anastasia dip brow pomade - £15
NYX tinted brow mascara - £5.50
Palmers lip balm - £1.99
Mac Lip pencil - £12.50
Mac lipstick - £15.50

Total cost of my daily makeup - £305.49

I am shocked at how much my makeup comes to cost wise, £300 is a lot of money writing it down it doesn't seem a lot of products I used. But putting it into perspective I am not surprised by the amount of products I use when I am doing my makeup for the day! 

This was surprising  but interesting to see. How much does your daily makeup cost?

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

Hello everyone,

Today I found out that NYX was in my local boots, it's been on the Boots website for a while now but we have a stand finally in the shop! I scanned to see what they had and decided to opt for the soft matte lip creams, as I need to try these as I have been getting a lot more into a matte liquid lipstick. These lip creams retail for £5.50, which I think is a very reasonable price and come in a variety of shades from a very nude to a red and everything in between! (£5.50 - link)

Left - 14 Zurich 
Right - 19 Cannes

Looking over at the soft matte lip creams and I have to say some of the colours that were out as testers just seemed either too nude like the classic old concealer lips look, which I am not a massive fan of, or the dark vampy look which isn't my thing as the weather is getting warmed! I knew I wanted to go for a "nude" as I can get more wear out of them and then get a full review.
Left - 14 Zurich 
Right - 19 Cannes

These are very creams as the name suggests from a first impressions, and they smell devine! Very sweet and cake like but I have a sweet tooth, so it doesn't bother me! The colour Zurich is a muted pink/rose shade, where as Cannes is more of a darker pink nude. They have a dofer applicator which is the best for these types of lip products, but the wand isn't too long that you don't have control over it, they are the perfect size and length. 

 Top - 19 Cannes
Bottom - 14 Zurich

As you can see from the swatches above they are very pigments and don't need many coats what so ever! I am interested to see how quickly these take to dry, how long they last and how they fade during the day! I have high hopes for these are the whole of youtube and beauty bloggers have spoken about these, I have tried the NYX butter gloss which are beautiful!

The next shades that are on my list are - Abu Dhabi, Stockholm and I would love to try Morocco!

America Holiday Haul

Hello everyone,

I am finally getting round to doing my America holiday haul for you all, I have got quit a lot to show you ranging from makeup (obviously) through to some teddy's! Also I haven't shown you presents I have got people because they may be reading!

Duty Free - Gatwick (South terminal)



I do like to treat myself at duty free considering the price differences, so from Mac I brought 3 eye shadows which are Wedge, Charcoal Brown and All That Glitters, Sweetie lipstick, Mac 234 eye shadow brush and the Erase Paste concealer from Benefit.

Sephora



I finally went to Sephora while in America which you would have seen from Florida day 2. I brought a canvas makeup bag saying ' I would cry but my makeup is designer', the Sephora eyeshadow in the shade Cashmere Coat, a Spehora eyeliner in Girl talk, the Bite travel size lipstick duo in Fig and Date, the Anastasia Dip brow pomade and the number 12 brush with a angled eyebrow brush and spoolie.

Walgreens/Walmart/Target



Then from the drugstores I brought 6 EOS lip balms and a EOS hand cream because they are amazing I would highly recommend these. I also brought the ELF small stipple brush to go with the NYX cream blush in Boho Chic, the ELF smudge pot in Crusin' Chic, the ELF eye shadow C brush and the lip balm tint in Berry.

Bath and Body Works



Well I brought 20 hand sanitisers from the best place in the world! I got a mixture of scents such as Pineapple Sorbet, Dazzling Diamond, Emergency Stache, Pure Paradise and many more. I also brought one of the holders.



I also brought 6 of the travel size body sprays in the sets cashmere glow, sweet pea, Japanese cherry blossom, paris amour, pink chiffon and endless weekend. They smell beautiful if I had my way all of them times 5 would have been in my case!

Victoria's Secret



I didn't buy much from Victoria's Secret because I already have a lot of their sprays! I brought the Mango temptation body spray, the mini Noir Tease body spray and two of their lip glosses in Love berry and Candy baby.

Calvin Klein 



I have wanted to buy a CK underwear set for the longest time, I had waited for America because I knew they would be much cheeper. I brought the white bralette and matching knickers.

Miscellaneous 



I brought 3 shot glasses one Miami south beach, one Florida and one Mimia beach one because I am now collecting shot glasses, one from every country I go to. I also brought a Miami pen and magnet.



While at universal I brought a little minion because minions are my favourite thing! I also brought a Universal Studios Shelby tree decoration. Then at disney I brought a Mini Mouse and a S key ring with some disney faces on.

Michael Kors



I did get another Michael Kors watch, this time a rose gold one with a blush pink rim in the middle. The watch is called a MK-4288, I am not too sure why the rose gold has came out orange looking but their is a better picture here.


That is everything I brought while I was in America!
