Hello my lovelies, 
Another item I got for Christmas was this lovely Real Techniques Shading Brush. I absolutely love this. It is the perfect size for me as it helps give you more control over where you but the eye shadow especially if you just want it in the crease as the brush itself is quite small. It has the same look of all the Real Technique brushes which you will know I love! It is very thin and petite which is good if you only have little hands it helps you be less clumsy than with a big fat brush. 


I hope you're all having a fab week and enjoying your holidays!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and got everything you wished for! 
I was going to do a 'What I got for Christmas' post but everyone seems to be doing that so I thought I would share with you some items I got for Christmas that will interest you more than knowing how many pairs of socks I got. 
The first item I got for Christmas was this brush from Real Techniques. I love these brushes and now have a small collection of them. I think they're great value for money as they aren't too expensive but are an amazing brush. I love MAC brushes as well but these can be a little on the price side for me. I've needed a new powder brush for absolutely ages and when I found this in my stocking I was super chuffed. I think the best kinds of presents are ones you don't know you're getting but you need. 
The brush it self is fab it is absolutely humongous so makes applying powder really easy and in my opinion helps to give an even coverage. The white ends on the brushes are one of my favourite things about this product because I think it's smart, not only does it look good but it makes it super easy to tell when your brushes need a clean.


I hope you all had an amazing Christmas
Much love <3

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush Review

Hello my lovelies,
I bought this brush recently after reading one too many great reviews about this brush. It was £8.99 at Superdrug. I think you can get it at boots but it is more expensive :( 
I really like this brush it is really firm and the handle means it stands on its own which is a feature I really like haha, the brush blends in my foundation really well I don't notice any lines or brush strokes which I really like!If you're just starting out with make-up I think this would be a good to use first because there isn't a specific way to use it you just move it in small circular motions to blend in your foundation. I really love this brush and I can not wait to buy other real techniques brushes such as the blusher brush because this one is so fantastic. 



I hope this has helped some of you who were on the edge of whether or not to buy it.
I hope you're having a great day.
Much love <3

Make-up Haul

Hello my lovelies,
Here is all the makeup I bought on my travels to Superdrug this saturday. I am super happy with the products I have bought, they are all amazing quality for the cost and I would definitley check them out if you want higher end brand quality but lower end brand price!I'm going to try and do little posts about each product in detail through the week so this will just be an over view. Keep your eyes peeled for more! (that is such a strange expression).
apologies in advance for the bad photo quality. Don't even ask about my beautiful DSLR. 


Number One is Rimmels' Wale Me Up foundation. I know I've said it before but I will say it again! I love this after eyeing it up for ages I decided to just go ahead and buy it! It was £8.99 in Superdrug and my shade is true ivory. All I'm saying for now is I absolutely love this product!


Number Two is, of course, Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer. Where has this been all my life it is amazing for such a small price! I think this was £3.49 but I cant rememer exactly, my shade is 02 light. (I know this is lighter than my foundation but I find this helps to avoid those patchy orange bits around blemishes and such evil things)
Number Three, Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, I don't know what to say about this I am absolutely in love with it. This was £8.99 in Superdrug which may seem like a lot but it is worth every penny!



 Number Four, this was more spontaneous as I recently ran out of blusher and I heard this was a really good brand and shade so of course I bought it! It's sleek blusher in Rose Gold. This will be the first review I'll do and I'm going to be honest it's an amazing blusher and was I believe under £5!


Thats all my lovelies! I hope you're all having a fab week and enjoying life!
Much love <3

My Make-up Wishlist

Hello my lovelies,
Recently I have been running out of all my makeup! My foundation needs chucking away and my blusher! It feels like I've lost alot of products that are quite essential all at once. I decided to let you know what I'll be looking to buy this time and why as it may help some of you with your choices to :)

1. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. This foundation has had some really good reviews. I also want to go back to a liquid foundation rather than a mousse one as I found it to be quite drying and very dull on the skin. I really like the look of this and hope it lives upto the expectation. BUT for £9 you can't go wrong!
£8.99 at Superdrug

2. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I know what you're probably thinking. You haven't had it yet?! No I haven't I already had a concealer and thought I would continue with that but now its time for change so I decided to jump on the band-wagon so to speak and add this to my list of 'to purchase' items! 
£3.69 at Superdrug.




3. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. This brush has been talked and talked about with beauty bloggers everywhere and alot of my friends have suggested it to me. It is meant to be used for applying and blending foundation. The brush is also super soft so that is an added bonus! 
£8.99 at Superdrug

4. This one is a little more pricey but I think you will be able to understand. Mac Lipstick- Russian Red.
I really love Macs' lipsticks they are really soft and creamy which I think is great because you know they won't dry your lips out. It has a really great colour and after swatching it it took ages to come off and I was wiping it with a wet wipe, which makes me think it will be long lasting as well! 
£15 online at maccosmetics.co.uk

5. This is the last one and it's not from a specific brand but it is these lip crayons that have been going round. I have tried a couple out and they are so so so nice its crazy! I have 2 brands which I know do them and that is Revlon and Bourjois. I have read a couple of reviews and think I will most likely go for Bourjois version as I have read a couple of reviews saying these last longer etc. 
Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon £7.99 at Superdrug

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain £7.99 at Superdrug.
What do you guys want this September I would love it if you let me know :)
I hope you're all having a great week and just remember it's FRIDAY!!!
Much love <3
