Maybelline super stay 14 hour lipstick!!!


This is the new ( New for me anyway ) maybelline super stay 14hour lipstick I brought these awhile back but I wanted to review them properly. I always have this thing were I always have to get more than one product when it comes to lip products. I do not know why as my purse don't like this idea. But I just can't help  it. 



First of all I love the little cute packaging. These lipsticks have a lot of beautiful colours  to choose  from I'm not 100% exactly how many but I choose 5 of my favourite colours I saw in front of me at the shop at the time. So from left to right is 180 ultimate blush it's like a pinky reddy colour. 430 stay with me coral. Which is defo a deep coral colour. 210 mauve toujours which is a median purple with sparkle. This one is my favourite colour it's the 150 on and on pink. This colour is a beautiful hot pink with glitter bits. The last one is perfect for a everyday look it's the 610 beige for good. It's a matte light chocolate colour.
All of these lipsticks smell the same to me like strawberries/ sweets.




I think the pigmentation of the product is brilliant. It's exactly the same colour from the lipstick to your lips. Now it says it stays on for 14hours but I wore it for about 6hours and it definitely wasn't on my lips after 6hours. Also make sure you use a lip balm before you put on the lipstick because after a few hours it starts to dry the lips. I topped up just a little with a lipgloss just to give them a little moisture. I would recommend this product because the colours are amazing but make sure to carry a lip balm or lip gloss with you and the lipstick because after 4hours you will need to reapply.
Also make sure you leave enough time for it to dry or it can be transferred onto anything your lips touch. You can buy this product from any drugstore I got mine for £6.99.

I hope you enjoyed my little review on these little lipsticks I still use them in my make up looks. Till next time "keep blogging and blagging"

soap&glory haul!

Soap&Glory Time! 


So I picked up some soap&glory items from boots about a week ago, I've never tryed any items from soap&glory before so I was pretty excited to it try them out. I must say I really liked most of the items because I didn't think I would.



The first thing I got was this wonderbroze in the  colour sundaze. I love all the different colours. It's quite alot of product for your money with a mirror. It's a slight shimmer, but it's  perfect for summer.find it here I got mine at £11.00.



The next thing I picked up was this concealer. Called kick ass concealer in the colour light. This is amazing find for £10.00 you get a brightening under eye concealer and cover up for  spots and a  fixing power with sponge and a mirror. My favourite bit has to be the powder, I love  the fact it's completely a white colour for that extra brightness and makes your concealer stay put. find it here.


This is a instant flaw softening illuminator called hocus focus. It reminds me of a magic potion. You can use this as a highlighter for your cheeks or mix In with your foundation. I personally use it as a primer it just brings that  soft base for your foundation and that natural shimmer  if you have dry skin like me your really enjoy this product. I got mine for £11.00 find it here.



I'm not really one for eyeshadow primer but I thought I would give it a go. It was £8.00 from boots find it here. Primer is defo the way forward. It's really soft on the skin. you can wear this just on its own. Just pop a little in the corners of your eyes just to brighten them up. I'm glad I chose this as my Frist primer but I will try others. It defo makes my eyeshadow stay on longer.

 


Again this is a first for me as I've never brought a night cream before. It's called wish upon a jar. But as I'm in my mid twenties and I'm really bad when it's comes to looking after my skin. I really need to start paying more attention to my skin. I decided to buy a night cream. I love the sliver ball packaging. It smells  like a chocolate orange I actually quite like the smell and its a really think texture but I just use a tiny bit rub it in my hands and then all over my face right before bed after I've taken my makeup off. I've only used it a few times but I love how soft my skin feels when I  awake up in the morning. Its actually on offer at the moment online maybe also in store I might of paid a little bit more. But it's £10.67 find it here.



So this is the trick and treatment under eye concealer. I have to be completely honest when I brought this I was super excited to use it but I was a little disappointed I have really  sensitive eyes  and this formula really irritated my eyes. I found out tho that this perfect for a highlighter for  cheekbones with your foundation.  I brought for £9.00 I'm not going to leave a link for this one as I believe their are better concealers out there. I  still  wanted to add it as I still brought it and wanted to include my thoughts.




These are off your face, make up wipes. Again on offer at £3.00, 3 in1 make up wipes gentle on my skin cleanse and tones and exfoliates the skin. Perfect for when your in a rush to take your make up off nice and easy. find it here.




P.s  just to let you know there is offer on all  soap&glory cosmetics at boots at the moment so check that out! www.boots.com this link will take you straight to all the soap& glory stuff.



I hope you enjoyed this post, you can ask me anything about  this post and till the next one ''  keep blogging and blagging ''

MR DRUGSTORE...


Hey peps!!!!! 
So after a busy day at work I was on my way home when this drugstore just jumps out of no where and invites me in! I was trying to be polite and say no in till  I looked through the window of all these happy people enjoying themselves getting lost in all the isles. The colours so bright and sharp. I thought to myself I can pop in just for a minute. So I accepted the drugstores offer, to which it flung its door wide open and congratulated me for saying yes. Walking through the isles I was arguing with myself. I was thinking I need this I don't need this but I really do need this and that and this. Before I knew It, I looked outside it was getting dark. Wow have I really been in here that long. I looked down at my basket and realised it was time for me to go. At the checkout line I was so happy look at all these new things I'm going to have. The lady at the checkout was also really pleased with what I had and  told me I made some good choices here in this beautiful drugstore. I skip out the shop and Mr drugstore gives me a pat on my back please come back soon he shouted as I walked away. 10minutes later I checked inside my bag to look at all my new gems and suddenly realised there was a receipt on top of the bag. I read this long list of things of just brought and at the bottom was the bill! Oh noooooo! Mr drugstore you did it again...




What's up guys hope you enjoyed that little story. Lol let me know if that has ever happened to you. It's always happens me! 

Anyway I've got some make up hauls/reviews coming up for you soon get excited I am!! 
Thanks for reading.

give me something new TOP 5 make up products

Come and see what are my top five make up products to have this spring! 




Hey peps so as you can see this is actually my second post since my blog started I'm very excited to talk about something beauty related and make up is something I'm  very passionate about. Saying that I'm no way a professional or a make up genius just thought I would share my favourite Top 5 items I'm loving at the moment.



So most of you will of probably seen one of these before it's a real techniques brow brush. It's amazing! I love it first of all because it's like my favourite colour. I use eyeshadow to colour in my eyebrows because I'm what you would call a wobbler. A wobbler is someone who can't use a pencil because they wobble to much. Lol. I got mine at boots for about £21.99 in a park of 5, all different eye brushes, there really soft brushes and pick up lots of product. They make your brows really natural looking, a really good brush.



So this is the studio finish concealer spf 35 I use this product for under my eyes as I have really bad dark circles and love how thick the texture is. It has the best coverage for my eyes and doesn't irritate them. People will  say it's more for blemishes and spots but for me I love it for my under eyes. I think it's  about £15 which it might be little pricey but it's last month's. I like how small the product is so you can carry out round in your make up bag. 




Soooo this little beauty is the lumi magique base light primer from l`oreal Paris. It proper illuminates the skin, this is great under my foundation. I have really dry skin so I just use a tiny bit and spread it with my fingers all on my face.since wearing this product people have said to me I look healthier. It really does brighten the skin. I brought it from boots for £9.99 the only down side is it comes out very quickly from the pump. If you want that natural glow then choose this.




OMG! This is the new shimmer highlighter from MUA. This is really fantastic. It's summer soon and you defo don't need to go on hoilday to get your glow. It's all in this pot! This is perfect to put of top of your checks for that extra shimmer. I'm so glad I decided to get this. It's a crime  at only £3 from superdrug. B.A.R.gin! Love it love it love it.




So as the saying goes " last but not least "  No.5 is the Mac mineralize spf 15 foundation. So this is a really new product for me as I normally wear the pro longwear foundation. But I do have really dry skin and want more of a hydrating foundation so I've had this for a few days now and I'm really liking the texture. It's really soft on the skin.It can come off your face quite quick but  make sure you set it with a power not to heavy . I love the glass bottle it comes In. Very posh.Lol. I brought mine at debenhams dept store for £25. It's pretty standard price. I would definitely consider getting this if you have dry skin and like a light to medium coverage.





And that was my Top Five make up products for this spring! If you have any suggestions on what other products would be great before summer hits.please let me know! 

What's your top 5 make up products??

Lots of love
