The Whole Make-up Collection: Base Products.

So hi....

Going to talk about the base products today, probably the smallest collection I have. These are my foundations blush/bronzer and all that shizz.

Let's first talk foundation. I don't use foundation all that often, I'm a lazy concealer and powder only kinda girl. But I do own three foundations.
First is the Rimmel Wake me up foundation in Ivory, I love this foundation but it's ( if you couldn't tell) a little bit too dark, i love the coverage and everything else on it but when i bought it I just picked up the lightest shade there and that it still too dark I can mix it with the match perfection foundation however for a more well matched colour.
Speaking of the second foundation I own is the Rimmel match perfection foundation in light Porcelain, this foundation is kinda runny and a little too light for my skin, which makes it a good mix with the wake me up colour.
Lastly is the Foundation I'm currently using which is the Maybelline Super stay better skin foundation in Ivory. This has a decent coverage and is the best colour match so it's what I'll currently make the effort to use.

Next I'll cover all the other bits since I currently only have one of each. For concealer I have the Rimmel wake me up concealer.
I also had the collection lasting perfection concealer however it's run out and I have yet to find a store that has the fair shade that hasn't been used to replace it. The wake me up one does a pretty good job however so it'll d for now.
For powder I'm pretty loyal to Rimmel's Stay matte powder, it does the job well and I couldn't really ask for much else.
I also have the MUA Pro-base Primer, thought it's nearly run out and in all honesty, I didn't feel that it made much difference. I am on the look out for some good primers however so any suggestions down in the comment section would be appreciated.
Last but not least is the Two faced no make-up make up palette, which holds my highlight, blush and bronzer all in one, I love this little palette as its extremely useful and easy!

And we're already done... I told you it was a small collection. I am on the look out to expand it greatly but I feel like with base products it's very important to get it right and not waste money because you picked the wrong shade or something.

The Make-up Left Behind

So hi...

Although I don't have a huge collection of make-up it has built up a little bit, and I've realized that in this slow collecting process a few make-up bits have been abandoned and become the make-up that time forgot. A lot of these I put in a little bag which I left at my best friends in an aim to use it when I stayed at his but it's still quite neglected, so I thought I'd so you the bits forgotten.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
I feel quite bad when I actually opened this as It's nearly a whole tub and I had gone through a tub of the stuff in my early teens(think 14) I honestly don't remember what this was like, i did apply it with a rather awful brush so I can't imagine it looked that great, But once I discovered liquid foundation this quick got put into the back of the pile and there it has stayed Maybe I should give it another try one day and let you guys know my thoughts?

MUA Creme Blusher in Lush
I bought this for the price, I wanted to experiment a little more with blusher, but I found this annoying to work this, maybe because of the flat pan size, but I didn't give it much on a chance, Powder blushers have much more become my thang, my oily skin meant I just because deal with the feeling of creme blush, but maybe it's another one to revisit.

Rimmel Match perfection Coconcealer
This was an emergency purchase my dad was kind enough to buy me in tesco as I had run out completely of concealer and hadn't yet been paid. Honestly it wasn't all that great, I used it because I had to but the brush was annoying and seemed an unclean applicator, it was just very very average, and I stopped using it as soon as I bought a replacement.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara
I got this product of my mum who bought it thinking it was waterproof but then found out it really wasn't. There isn't too much wrong with this mascara, It's just I have ones I much prefer, The brush is rater large making it a lot harder to work with and I find in turn can easily make your lashes look pretty clumpy. Just not my cuppa tea really, so abandoned it was.

Primark Liquid liner
I've written about this before here. so won't go on about this too much but again it just wasn't that great though I didn't expect much, it's flakes where my other liquid eyeliners don't, simple.

Barbra Daily Brown eye liner.
This is another product that has nothing wrong with it, I was given it by my dad and have used it a few times but there just isn't many times where I feel the need for brown eyeliner rather than black and so this doesn't really get used that often, but as a product it's good, it does the job well and I'll probably still have the rare occasion where I'll use it.

Rimmel Extra wow Lash.
Once again this product was abandoned for no real reason, It's a decent enough process I suppose, I have no real hate or dislike for the product, it's just not really outstanding and doesn't make my lashes look that great, not as well as miss manga does or S&G Super thick mascara so it just didn't get used and got put in the abandoned bag.

And that's all of them, the poor products, most of which did no wrong, that not put away and forgotten about until now, but maybe I'll give them all a second chance and see if I can get along with them a little better...

We'll talk soon lovelies!

A New Everyday Make-up Routine.

So hi.

Recently I've found that my make-up routine has changed a lot and I find my make-up looking a lot smoother and more flawless as a result, so I thought I would tell you all my make-up routine, I don't think it's anything special. More so that I've gotten much better with my ability to blend and generally apply my make-up, which makes me rather happy.

I think two things have greatly contributed to my improved make-up routine, discovering the usefulness of a primer and decent make-up brushes.

The make up brushes I use are unbranded ones I order for only a couple of quid from Tmart, they are soft and fluffy and do the job well, they are also in need of cleaning I know.

For my primer I use MUA's Primer, It was £4 and my first choice in experimenting with primers as I didn't want to spend to much then possibly not like it, I'm looking forward to trying some other primers though.

After priming I use my concealer,which although has been collections lasting perfection offering for a while, after struggling to get another from my local Superdrug, I gave Rimmel's wake me up concealer and I really like it, I'd be so bold as to say I think it's just as good as collection's one.

Next is foundation and recently I haven't been using foundation too much because of the hot weather but when I do it's the Super stay better skin foundation from Maybelline, I think it really goes on well on my skin and I love the finish it gives me. It's the best foundation I've tried so far. I then contour my face with the Two-faced No makeup palette, I absolutely love this product, I bought it off Tmart like I did with the brushes and it wasn't listed as a brand product but when it arrived I was excited, It has the a contour, highlight, cream and powder blush and a shimmer bronzer. and with my face all done and looking the best I could hope I use Rimmel Stay matte powder to set it all and give my face a matte effect.

Next up I do my eyes, if I can be bothered with eye shadow, I get out the Naked 3 Palette, my favourite colours are burnout, limit, liar and mugshot. After is the cat flick which I use either Superliner by Loreal or Collection's Extreme 24 hour liner, followed by mascara, I use two mascaras, firstly Collection's no clumps which gives me good length to build up on and then I use Miss Manga by Loreal.

And that's my make up done, there's also lipstick but I change it up so often, but as I would say I'd mostly use a shade of red, I photopraphed Apocolips in Big bang and the Rimmel Kate moss in  01.

What's your make-up routine like?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

London and Half Term Haul!

So Hi..

I did a post recently that I visited London with my best friend, Ross and our adventures and the retail therapy that we both participated in. I thought I should definitely do a little haul to show you all what I bought! Most of the products were things I've wanted to try for a while and sort of went 'what the heck' and took them merrily to the till.

Firstly I took a trip to Primark in my town the Sunday before London to check out the new beauty collection they have released called Ps. Beauty.
Honestly I was kind of gutted as I didn't spot many things but I presume that's down to the rather small Primark in my town, maybe I should have waited to look in the London oxford street primark but alas. I did pick up three bits. One was simply just 2 eyeliner pencils as my black ones are a bit on the short side and for £1.50 why not?

 I also picked up two moisturising lip crayons, One in a bright red colour and the other in a rather natural nude colour, these are nice for lazy days where I don't want to worry about lipstick too much.

While in london I also visited Sugerdrug, What can I say it's my favourite store for relatively cheap make-up. I found the MUA section... Oh it was so much bigger and stocked full of goodies!

I couldn't help but pick up two more nail polishes and can you blame me? these two are just beautiful. the pale mint green is call 'Pistachio Ice cream' and the gorgeous pinky colour is 'Bright Coral' I've already had both these colours on my nails and absolutely love them, I think they will be perfect in the warmer months.

Now call me a make-up Noob ( which I really am) but I do not own or use lip liners all that often, I just didn't really think about it, However recently I've been wanting to get a slicker, neater feel from my lipstick and decided to try these two MUA lip liners to cover my red lipsticks and I've pleased to report that I an converted, I felt the lipstick looks much much cleaner with a no bleeding throughout the day and I am definitely wanting to get a few more lip liners

This next buy has been delayed for a long time. I picked up the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin foundation as I had read some good reviews about it and It just honestly peeked my interest when I had seen it in store, So I finally just went for it and picked it up in london, I'm really loving in at the moment and it's currently my everyday foundation.

Of course, I just couldn't help but pick up yet another MUA lipstick while I was there, I love this more neutral pinky colour, I've been wanting a wider range of neutral colours recently as my lip collection is full of cold bright reds and this just fit the bill, It's a pale brown tones pink but looks gorgeous on, Very my lips but better.

I also picked up this much paler baby pink which I also adore! I had worried it would wash me out but it doesn't and I love it

After seeing a few reviews I was set on trying out the L'Oreal Miss manga mascara and although i love the package and name, even the brush I am gutted to say it didn't seem to work amazingly on my lashes, Maybe it's just me as it's looked amazing on other people just not me, i still do like it as it's a good product, just not the 'manga eyes' i was expecting

Now I didn't actually but this as I got this from my mother but thought I would include it any way, It's waterproof as well which is a bonus and I'm eager to test that claim

And that's all folks, Quite a few bits that should.. I say SHOULD keep me satisfied for a while, I bought some non make-up bits as well but that's for another post!

We'll talk soon lovelies!
