My Favourite Brow Products

Hello everyone,

I am going to talk to you about my favourite brow products, apart from Blush and Lips, brows are my favourite part of doing my makeup, simply because they make so much of a difference to any look, they are a key staple in my makeup routine. I personally think everyone should do something to their brows, wether it's just shaping or filling them in, it makes such a difference and makes everyone look a bit more out together, they stand out and change/shape your face.



Maybelline Brow Satin Brow duo (£5.99) - This is a great drugstore eye brow product and it's a very unique one. This has a pencil on one end which is perfect for shaping, then you have a sponge with brow powder on to fill in your brows. This is very good and gives natural definition to your brows, perfect for beginners who are just looking for natural definition. Link

Anastasia Brow Wiz (£15.50) - This is a very staple brow product as in pencils are the easiest to use and the most common, a lot of people may own this because it is very easy and convenient. This has a brow brush on one end to distribute the product and to blend harsh lines, this needs to be used with a light hand as pencils can come across very unnatural and harsh at times. This is a great product for travelling as well as using on the go or if your in a hurry. Link

Benefit High Brow Glow (£16.50) - This is more for the people who want the very slick and strong brows, this can be used to highlight all round the brow for definition or can be used in certain places such as under the arch of the brow for a crisp arch. This this a good product but it's not a staple for many people, I don't use this everyday but this can make a big difference. Link

Real Techniques Brow Brush (Can't but separate £20.99 for set) - Their aren't too many good brushes for a cheaper price compared to Mac etc, but Real Techniques is greta quality this brush can be very natural; because it's bigger than some brushes, meaning it looks natural as it doesn't add too much products, great with most powder products not too much cream. Link

Anastasia No 12 Brush (£15) - This is now my favourite brow brush for cream products, it adds more definition because it's smaller, this is also very precise for creams. This is a the perfect brush as well because of the brush on the end, it blends products out like no other. Link



Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade (£15) - Speaking of cream products above, the reason why I brought the No 12 brush is for this product, the Dipbrow Pomade is one of my favourites! Perfect for definition, you don't need a lot of product and a little goes a long way, I would also recommend using a light hand since you don't want it too harsh. I would say for everyone to try this because it's so easy to use that it can't really go wrong. Also the best thing about this is that it lasts forever meaning you don't have to worry about it throughout the day! Link

Mac Eyeshadows (£13) - You may of heard about using eye shadows for brows, well for me the best eyeshadows for this is Mac. I have Charcoal Brown and Omega which are both Matte shadows, for your brows you want to use mattes since their not sparkly etc. These two colours are the best for brows I think and would suit any colour brows. These can also still be defining as well as natural, it just tends on how much you use etc. Link

HD Brows Palette Foxy (£19.95) - This is one product I had always walked to try as HD Brows as a brand made your brows look perfect! This is a lovely palette again for travelling, but because you have so many colours which is great if you tend to go for different looks. 

Benefit Gimme Brow (£18.50) - This is one of my favourite products again, this is a life savour when your not looking to do much with your brows, great for every day! This gives slight definition and keeps them natural. This is amazing on it's own or layered with other products such as the Mac eyeshadows. This is perfect for beginners who don't want too much product or definition. Link

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo (£17) - This is again a lovely product from Anastasia which keeps your brow natural but defined. I tend to mix the two colours together to create the perfect colour and definition. This is easy to use and great to carry with you on a daily basis. Link

Benefit Brow Zings (£24.50) - This again is another of my favourite products, this is perfect for creating definition and a precise look to your brows. I first apply the powder then go in with the wax to set them and to add more colour and definition, this is pricey but will last you ages, this is easy to use and works perfectly every time. You can also create a more natural looking by using either of the products on it's own. Link


What are your favourite brow products! I have a eyebrow routine from last year click here.

School Makeup - Drugstore

Hello everyone,

I have the back to school series starting, I thought I would start by doing the drugstore back to school makeup. I have a lot of products to show you but their are also alternatives as well, you can obviously switch this up to suit your needs and wants but this is basically the products I love. I have also decided I am going to be doing around every other day for the blog posts as of todays post.


Primer - I don't have too many drugstore favourite for the primer category, but one I love is the Bourgeois Happy Light primer for oily to combination skin. This is great for school mornings because it is light for your skin, absorbs quickly but this also makes your skin look like it's glowing giving it this fresh natural look, great to make you look more awake for early mornings.

Base - For my base I chose the L'oreal infallible 24 hour matte foundation, this is a high coverage foundation but you can sheer it out using a stippling brush, fingers or a damp makeup sponge. This is a good product for school because it looks great all day, meaning your not worrying about it all day.

Concealer - Concealer is a life savour for school mornings especially under the eyes! The Maybelline anti age eraser is great for covering dark circle and tired eyes, make you look instantly awake. For a concealer to cover blemishes the Bourjois healthy mix concealer has great coverage for redness and covering blemishes, it's just a tad drying under the eyes.

Powder - One of my favourite powders of all time is the kick Ass translucent powder by Soap and Glory! A beautiful powder for setting foundation and concealer, but keeps your makeup in place all day as well as keeping you from being shiny! This is also a great school bag product because it has no colour so it doesn't look too much over the course of the day, it's got sturdy packaging and a mirror too (Perfect product for school)

Contour/Bronzer - I don't have too many bronzer/contour favouite from the drugstore because I prefer high end at the moment. A great one is the Bourjois Chocolate bronzer, lovely for adding warmth to the face as well as great for contouring! A contour on the drugstore market is the master sculpt my Maybelline which looks lovely, give this a try if you think the Bourjois one may be too orange for you!

Blush - I am loving cream blushes a lot lately! My favourite one from the drugstore is again a Bourjois product, it's the cream blush in the shade 03, this gives you a instant light pink glow to the cheeks, with this I wouldn't use a highlighter as it makes you look glowy already because it has slight shimmer in it.

Eyeshadow/Crayon - I have two different products to show you, first of all for eye shadow I have the Collection eyes uncovered pallet you for in Nude, this is a great alternative to the Urban Decay naked pallets, these are lovely quality shadows for a small amount of money, great shades to do a lot of different looks. If your not too keen on shadows I have a eye shadow crayon for you from Bourjois  called the colour band shadow and liner in the colour 03 Beige minimalist, a very natural gold to sweep over the lids and your done, you can add a crease colour if you feel the need to.

Eye liner - Again I have two different options for you, for a liquid liner I love the Soap and Glory supercar, this is great for everyone pros and beginners at liner! So easy to use and stays for a long time. If you prefer a Kohl liner then the Rimmel scandaleyes liner in Taupe, a more natural option to black, great for the waterline for definition, but isn't too dramatic, this would also look lovely with the eye shadow options I mentioned above on the lash line.

Brows - Another Soap and Glory product I love which is the Brow Archery, this is a great brow pencil which gives you a lot of precision especially from the liner side to fill in the brows adding extra hairs, but the pencil is great for definition.

Mascara - Keeping in natural for a school day, the Max Factor false lash effect in black brown. This mascara is perfect for volume and length, I would recommend a black brown mascara because it looks more natural but still giving you lovely full lashes.

Lipstick/Gloss/liner - I have a whole selection for you, to start with a Liner the rimmel liner in Eastend snob is a great nude pink, great for just lining the lips or applying all over. If you want a crayon type product the Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker in nudeist it a great your lips but better colour, would look lovely with the liner. Lastly if your more into a gloss, then the Soap and Glory mighty mouth is a brilliant gloss which is a natural pink, this is also very moisturising.

Sorry some brands were repetitive. I hope you enjoyed!

Spot Prone Skincare Routine

Hello everyone,

As you can tell from the title I have a skincare post for you about dealing with spot prone skin, and a tried and tested routine that will work if your dealing with blemishes. This is my skincare routine that I have used for a few years now and I can honestly tell you it have been a life savour.

Just to clarify I now have spot prone skin but I would say it's not normal than combination now.


The Steps - 

Cleanse - I haven't included makeup removers because that for me changes all the time because that doesn't tend to affect my skin. Anyway the cleanser I swear by is the Biore Blemish fighting ice cleanser, I have loved this for around 3 years now, and it's changed my skin dramatically. This is something I use in the morning and afternoon, I use this with a soap and glory face massage mini mitt, this has also been a staple with this cleanser, it just allows you to work the product in and to get a clean base. I dampen my dace then I apply roughly a pump and a half on the damp mitt then work the product in, using circular motions. 

Face Wash - I have had a love hate relationship with Neutrogena products, but this is the Visibly clear spot clearing facial wash, and this is a product I love! This foams up very nicely and makes your skin feel clean, and ready for moisturiser etc. I use this after cleansing to make sure all dead skin and bacteria is gone, I also use this with a damp face, put two pumps on my hand a again massage it in with circular motions.

Toner - A toner is no important with blemish prone skin, because it's all caused from a build up of dirt or impurities, I love the Lush tea tree water after face wash. This is a great product with it's no too harsh but it has tea tree which is great for dealing with spots. I spray this around 5 time all around my face then wipe away using a cotton pad, I again use circular motions. 

Moisturisers - Another important step which is putting the moisture back into your skin, I have used this product for a few years now and it's the Clean and Clear dual action moisturiser, this is targeted for people with spots and blemishes. A moisturiser is so important because you need to put all the good things back into your skin, this is hydrating but doesn't make you look oily. I use about a pea size amount round my whole face after my face it dry from the toner.

Spot Treatment - Once you have found the best base products for your skin type you will need a spot treatment, this helps to clear your skin from blemishes and spots, but this also helps to prevent any as well as reducing swelling and redness. I use the Lush grease lightening treatment, this works wonders and clears your spots in under a week if you use it religiously. I apply this after moisturiser and apply a little amount around the blemish, you can use this all over your face, but I feel as it it dries my skin out too much.

Tips and tricks -

Adapt your skincare to you - This is the most important tip, if you have dry and spot prone skin don't use something that isn't too moisturising, this is the same for any product you use. Give what your skin needs otherwise nothing will work.

Stick to your routine - For some people they have great products that work but they never stick to the same routine, once you have used some products for a while stick to it! Your skin will start adapting to your products, but you have to stick to the same routine to see any changes and improvements.

Keep hydrated and Eat well - This is a big step and one that is the hardest for me, eating well and having a balance diet is going to help your skin tremendously. If you eat 5 bars of chocolate a week then this is going to have the opposite affect on your skin to what you want. 

Stop exfoliating! - You may have realised that I didn't include a face scrub etc. This is because they don't help your blemishes and spots, you need to use gentle products on and around them otherwise because you can irritate then and spread the bacteria all over your skin... resulting in more spots!

Remove makeup - Never sleep in your makeup, remove it even if your half asleep! This will just clog your pores resulting in more spots even if your using makeup wipes it's better than nothing!

Clean your brushes - This again is a major step, you need to clean your makeup brushes! A build up of bacteria on your brushes is a bad idea, as it's going to spread germs and bacteria all over your face. If you don't use makeup brushes then make sure your hand/sponges are clean.

Stop touching your face - We never realise how many times that we actually touch are face during the day, this is a recipe for disasters with the amount of germs on your hands from your surroundings, if your going to touch your face have clean hands.

Less makeup is better - When you have spots and blemishes don't cover your whole face in thick makeup products, keep it minimal because you don't want to be irritating the spots making them worse, or even adding more already.

I hope this helped you!

My favourites of 2014!

Hello everyone,

I can't quite believe that we are coming to the end of 2014, this year has gone so quick and because it's coming to the end this means a favourites of 2014 post! 


My favourites -


Makeup -

My first makeup favourite of 2014, has to be the Benefit Gimme Brow, this is a wonderful product that fills in, defines and cares of your brows! This looks so natural and only takes a few seconds to transform your brows. This can be used on it's own or over over products to set them in place.

Onto a lipstick, this is Mac's Lipstick in Creme cup, this is a great everyday lipstick and I have got a lot of use out of it since I brought it in August. It's a pigmented baby/nude pink, this is very creamy hence it being a cremesheen.

I think I found one of my favourite foundations through out this year, and it's the Bourjois 123 perfect, this is a correcting foundation with three pigments, yellow for anti-dark circles, mauve for anti-dull complexion and green for anti-redness. This is a great drugstore foundation, because it looks natural and helps to prefect any imperfections.

A powder that has had a lot of hype this year, is the Soap and glory one heck of a blot. This is a translucent and fine powder to help mattify your skin, what I love about this the most is that it doesn't add any colour to your skin, and doesn't make you look orange or even too pale, because one colour fits all.

The Nuxe Reve De Miel lip balm is great, it's a perfect all rounder, perfect for under lip products, perfect for dry and cracked lips but also it excels for hydrating your lips. This is one of the best lip balms I have tried, and I love this for every day.

Moving back onto Bourjois, I brought quite a lot of their Colour Boost glossy finish lip sticks. And long story short I have fallen in love with the two colours Orange punch (03) and Plum Russian (06), they are very glossy and look lovely on the lips, because they are a glossy lipstick they don't stay on the lips that well, but they are so easy to re apply that I don't mind topping them up.

Their is one mascara that I love, and that I will love for a long time, this is Benefit's They're real. A great mascara for getting length, but holding a curl and giving great volume!

Another lip product, this time from Sleek, this is their Matte Me lip creme in the colour Petal (435). This is a very pigment matte pink which is more of a baby pink. This looks matte and beautiful on the lips, and has great staying power.

Another lip product I love which is the Lush Santa's lip scrub, this is a paste scrub which work miracles at keeping your lips looks good, and is great at the dry and cracked areas on your lips. This is limited edition for Christmas, but all the other lip scrubs are just as good,

The HD Brows eye brown and eye shadow palette is great for travelling. It has a lot of neutral matte colours perfect for a every day eye look, but you can also use the colour to define your brows. It does a good job at filling in your brows, and then if you use the Benefit Gimme Brow on top, your brow game is very strong!

Lastly is a makeup product that is a stand out of 2014, or my ultimate product of this year! This is the Benefit Brow Zings brow shaping kit. This comes with a powder to fill in your brows, a wax to set everything, a hard angle brush to use with the powder, a blending brush to use with the wax and a mini pair of tweezers for any star hairs. This is in my eye a brow changing product.

Hair -

I have liked using the Toni & Guy sea salt spray for a few years now, but through out this year I have been using it more and in different ways. This gives great texture, and beach waves. One way I like using it is to spray it in the mid lengths of my hair, throw my hair in a bun on my head, then take out when finished getting ready. Or even curling my hair, then applying this in after to make the curls more rough and and beachy.

Something more recent, this is the COLAB dry shampoo in the scent New York, this is much better than Batiste dry shampoo. This one adds more body, volume and doesn't dry out your hair, it smells amazing and is by far the best one I have tried.

Scent -

A perfume I have recently brought is the Philosophy celebrate grace fragrance, this is a hard one to describe but smells fresh and fruity, but with a slight hint of floral. A great scent for everyday and one to throw on.

Onto a body spray, this is the Victoria's Secret Endless Love body mist. This smells like Herbal Essences shampoo, and is very fruity. It is meant to smell like apple blossom and ylang ylang.

Skincare -

This year I have fallen in love with one skin care brand, which is Ren! I brought one of their sets a few months ago and haven't looked back since. The Hot Cloth Cleanser is perfect for a mini pamper session every night when taking my makeup off, it feels amazing and takes off your makeup like no other.

Another Ren product is the Daily Supplement moisturising cream. This is my day time moisturiser, it hydrates and doesn't dry out. A little bit goes a long way but also it sits nicely under makeup.

Onto a skin care item I have mentioned loads of times, this is the Palmers Cocoa Butter, and my saving grace. Perfect for any thing, for hydrating dry areas from hands to face, or even using as a after sun.

Jewellery/Fashion -

I got given a Michael Kors bracelet when my dad and step mum went to America. I have loved it since the day I got it, it is a leather wrap bracelet with the MK in the centre, this is gold and is perfect with my Michael Kors pieces. 

They are my products of 2014! Have you tried any, also I want to know what are your products of 2014? Comment below

Autumn/Winter Makeup

Hello everyone,

Its getting a lot colder here in the UK and it feels more like Winter everyday and with Christmas getting very close. I thought that I would share with you some autumn/winter makeup trends and my chosen products for these trends.

Trend One - Smokey eyes paired with a nude lip, and a light base.

The first trend is some smokey but still nude eyes, with a very light but glowing base and a nude lip.


We saw this look in Paris Fashion Week on the show Chloe, you can see that it's very nude all over and is very natural but femening.


Then again from the show Balmain at Paris Fashion Week we saw model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, wearing some light eyes and nude lip with strong brows and contour, with a lovely sleek low ponytail with a middle parting.


I first of kept in mind that we saw a lot of glowing but light foundation as a base, I reached for the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation, this gives you a light base but keeps your skin looking radiant and glowing at the same time. For cheeks again very minimalistic, for this I chose the Mac Pro Longwear blush in Rosy Outlook applied very lightly over the cheeks. Then onto eyes you wanted to neutralise all the veins, redness and discolouration in your lids, this is why I chose Mac's Paintpot in Painterly. Onto eye shadow I kept it very simple and not too shimmery, I used the Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallete with the colours Foxy all over the lid, Tease in the crease with Half Baked over Foxy and under the lower lashes, all blended out with no harsh edges, also I would keep mascara very minimal with some brown/purple eye liner to softly add depth. Lastly onto well moisturised lips I would use the Soap and Glory Gloss Stick in Nudist over the lips, for a your lips but better.

Trend Two - Light eyes and a bold lip, with medium-full overage bases.

The second trend is again some light eyes but this time channeled with a bold lip, but with some medium to full coverage foundation for a base.


Here we see model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley modeling for the show of Grace in London Fashion Week. Glowing medium-full coverage foundation with a bold lipstick.


If anyone is going to pull off a purple lip Cara Delevigne can! Again with the light eyes and purple lips its a perfect looks for Autumn and Winter.


To start with a medium to full cover foundation has to be the Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation, this is great for coverage and any skin type. Then for a very light cheek I have picked out the Bourjois Cream Blush in 03, a perfect flushed pink for the apples of your cheeks. Onto eyes, for a base I went for the Mac Pro Longwear paint pot in Let's Skate, a lovely shimmery pink. Them to define your eyes a bit more I have used the HD Brows eye and brow pallete with the colour medium brown in the crease and Carbon on the upper lash line. Lastly the statement part, I have gone for the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Plum Russian with the Sephora Lip Gloss on top in Purple. Also if your looking for a red option in the picture above of Rosie she is wearing Mac's Russian Red lipstick.

Favourites// June 2014

Hello everyone,

I honestly am so shocked that we are in July! I go on holiday a month today and the time is flying by. But today I have my June Favourites for you, I have found some makeup last month that is part of my everyday routine now!

June Favourites 2014

My first favouirte is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation, I have the shade 51. This isn't recommended for oily skin but I really like it, as long as it covers and looks natural I can deal with the shiny skin during the day. I would reccomend this for everyone, but if you have oily skin bare with it and just carry a powder with you all the time. This looks very natural and flawless, light-medium coverage.

The brush I use for my foundation is the Real Techniques expert face brush, I did not like this before because I thought it was very scratchy and made my foundation look streaky. But now I love it I think it's very easy to use and makes blending and applying foundation look flawless in seconds.

Normally I switch my blush up everyday. But lately I have been going for the natural healthy glow, and for this I have been using the Benefit Rockateur blush this is rose gold, and looks amazing for a natural everyday look.

My last makeup favourite is the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist, this looks amazing with the Benefit blusher. I love it for a everyday natural school makeup look. Great to put in your blazer or makeup bag for touch ups because you don't really need a mirror.

My last favouirte, is this necklace I have been wanting a everyday necklace for ages. I found this one in Miss Selfridge and I love it so much. I have had so many compliments on it and I am obsessed. It is so dainty and perfect. (Link// Click here)

Wishlist// Drugstore Beauty

Hello everyone,

Today I have a drugstore beauty wishlist for you, I was going to do a tag but I felt like doing a post focusing on drugstore because there is a lot I want to try. Some that are quite new and some that have been out for a while.

Drugstore Beauty


I do have quite a lot, so I will start off with base. I have been wanting to try some new foundations or things along that line. I have had my eye on the L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder foundation I would get this but the colours aren't light enough, so I would have to mix this with a lighter foundation or moisturizer. Another base is the L'Oreal True Match, Amelia Liana goes on about this foundation so much and her skin looks flawless, this looks great because the colours are light enough. My last base is the Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream, I have heard quite a lot of good things on this and I am into lighter foundations at the moment to test out for my holiday.

The I have a sort of 'skin care' item and base. This is the Max Factor CC Colour Correcting sort of primer, Viviannadoesmakeupused this in a video and this looked amazing I love the idea of a pencil stick because it's quick for on the go, also it corrects red because this is green. My next two items are skin care, I really would like the Soap and Glory Scrubatonic I really want to try more soap and glory skin care. Also I am in love with the brand Biore and my friend says this scrub is really good (we are in love with the ice breaker cleanser). 

Moving swiftly onto lips there has been a lot of hype over the L'Oreal Lip colour liquid lipsticks, and they look amazing I am in love with the idea, these look great for everyday and perfect for a lip product that will stay on with not much re applying. Also I am in love with the Bourjois colour boost lip crayons, I have Peach On The Beach and I am in love and I want more colours they are amazing! Also Revlon recently came out with there Matte and Laquer balms I have one of the Laquer balms and again they are amazing and I want more colours for Summer! And again I have a lot of the Revlon Lip Butters and I want more colours for Summer! 

Have you tried any of these? What do you think Comment below!

Tag// Lip Product Addict

Hello everyone,

I saw Amelia and Estee make this tag and I had to do it, and it's all about lip products, from you favourite balm to you highend favourite. And of course I have more than one for some questions but oh well.

I am a lip product addict.

1. Favourite balm/treatment? - My favourite lip balms are the Burt's Bees nourishing lip butter with Mango and the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula original lip balm. These are both amazing hydrating lip balms, they feel amazing under and over lipsticks, with a lip scrub they are the perfect two.  

2. Best eye-catching red? - I am not a big red fan, I prefer more of a sheer red. I have choosen the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Plum Jam. This is an amazing every day red not too bright or dark. I really want to try more red lipsticks, if you have any favouirtes leave them below.

3. Best luxury & best drugstore? - This was the easiest question to answer, my drugstore favouirte is the Revlon matte lipstick in Pink Pout, this is one of my first lipsticks and I wear it all the time; perfect for everyday. My high end lipsticks are the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 74 and 70, the packaging is stunning and the colours are great for everyday. 74 (Parfait) is a perfect light pink with a hint of pink shimmer. And 70 (Sourire) this is a great pink for everyday with slight shimmer. These are amazing lipsticks for everyday and I would highly reccomend these lipsticks.

4. Best MAC lipstick? - This was really easy for my to choosen and Angle (Frost) is my favourite, this is the best everyday lipsticks, this looks amazing with every look, it doesn't look over the top or too nude. This is great if your looking for a pinky nude lipsticks for everyday.

5. The most disappointing? - My most dissapointing lip product is going to come to a shock to some, but it's the NYX Mega Shine lipgloss in La La, the colour isn't too bad but I don't lip the smell, I find these quite sticky aswell. Also I don't like the packaging either. I want to try another colour the one Beige I think.

6. Liner, yes or no? - I have to admit I am not the biggest lip liner fan, but I do wear it sometimes if I really want a lipstick to last. My go to one is the Rimmel Exaggerate Liner in 003 Eastend Snob. I brought this because Sammi recommended the Revlon lipstick and said this looks amazing under it and it does. 

7. Best gloss? - I have picked a drugstore which is the Tanya Burr Lipgloss in First Date, this is a perfect baby/pale pink, this looks great over Mac's Angel, this smells amazing and is not sticky. My highend favouirte is the Chanel Lipgloss in 166, this is stunning and looks amazing on it's own and over lipsticks.

8. Something Extra! - For something extra I have chosen the Revlon Lip in Sweet Tart, I have mentioned this in a posts and this looks great dabbed in for everyday and applied generously for a brighter more daring look.

I tag everyone! Do you have any lip product recommendations for me?
