Disappointing Makeup Products!

Hey Hey Everyone!

Today I'm talking about Makeup products I didn't enjoy from high end to the drugstore!
Let's get started and I hope you enjoy!

The first item I am going to talk about is l'Oreal true match.I know it's a big favourite in the makeup world it I just didn't enjoy it at all. I felt like it sunk In to all of my pores and just didn't look good on my skin.This really annoyed me since I had huge hopes for this foundation.Its quite dear too for a drugstore foundation which is annoying.Maybe if you have oily skin it would suit your skin but for people with dry skin I wouldn't recommend it.

The next product is a lipstick from the drugstore and it's called Revlon colour stay lipstick in the shade 'Socialite'.This shade is so drying on the lips it's almost uncomfortable.I only picked up one shade so I don't know if their all bad but I hate it which is sad because it was a pretty colour and wasn't cheap for the drugstore.I also had high hopes for this since I loved the lip butters so much but anyway don't be fooled like me!

A highEnd product I wasn't too impressed with was Benefits HighBeam. It's basically a cream highlighter that will cost you around the 30€ mark.the thing I didn't really like was the pigmentation.Don't get me wrong it's totally build able and a lovely natural highlighter.I just had great expectations and I think the Me Me Me dupe is just as good for cheaper also I prefer the Me Me Me one better.

Also I wasn't too impressed by the l'Oreal super liner.A Lot of people rave about this one too but for me I found it a bit annoying. It took too long to apply and for me I had to keep dipping the felt tip brush in and out the liner a good few times until I got the line I wanted. Also it's a hard to remove after wearing it all day. Personally I like to have a liner than is quick and easy to apply on the go and it wasn't one of those liners. This liner is a bit over the 10€ mark,So a bit dearer than your average drugstore liner.

The final product is another drugstore lippy and it's called Wet n Wild's Megaslicks balm stain in the colour E125. These lip balms are really lovely on the lips, Great colour pay off, very moisturising but after a few hours they started to sting my lips.Only the dark red shade has done this too me a few  times which is really sad because I really loved it. Let me know of this has happened to you! The rest of the shades are lovely though and would defiantly recommend them!

so that is it for my disappointing makeup products. I hope you enjoyed reading and I would really love if shared my blog with your friends because it would mean a lot!

My makeup must haves!

Hey hey Everyone!
So sorry I haven't posted in a week but I've been really busy! Anyway today I'm telling you what are my makeup must haves!!weather it's in my collection or my makeup bag or on the go. Let's get started!!
My first favourite is The pore fessional by Benefit!
This is an amazing primer to keep your foundation lasting all day and to minimise pores.I use this on its own or before or after makeup.Its amazing I can't go without it! The pore fessional is 34€ I think in most department stores.

My second favourite is The sleek face form palette Contouring and blush palette in the shade  light 373.The palette contains a blush ,highlighter and a contour shade.The palette is perfect for pale skin because the shades are light but they have good pigmentation. This palette is 12€ in selected boots stores.Its an fantastic palette I would recommend to anyone with pale skin and they have a palette for dark skin too Which is perfect!

 My third favourite is an Essence long lasting lipstick in Natural beauty.This lipstick is so moisturising and smooth on your lips. It's a shade I wear every day and it's just  perfect everyday your lips but better colour.It would suit anyone and it's only 3€ in penny's and most pharmacies.

 My next  favourite is the collection ever lasting concealer in the shade light 1.I feel like everyone raves about this but it's just amazing so long wearing and covers my dark circles like nothing I've tried before . It's only Around 6€ in boots and it's one worth picking up!

My last favourite is a new foundation I recently picked up as a girl from urban decay stopped me and asked if I wanted a free make over. She used their naked skin foundation on my skin and I fell in love! It's so long lasting and it covers redness and spots so well!You really don't need much on your face and it's so light weight! I think it's 34€ its quite pricey but if you are looking for a good foundation to buy its one to pick up! It's available in most department stores.

So that was my makeup must haves I hope you liked reading it and found it helpful.Also if you would like to contact me please feel free  to ask me questions or recommend things for me to review.

My summer makeup favourite trends

Hey hey Everyone,   

Hey hey Everyone!,

                                                                                                                                                              It has taken me a while to think of what to write about on this blog because I want to do it well! Also I want to write about things that people of all ages will hopefully enjoy. So I thought I would share my favourite summer makeup trends.Please note that I'm writing from an iPad so I'm not quite sure how to put in pictures yet!                

Firstly makeup:


One of my favourite celebrity beauty inspirations has been the one and only Kylie Jenner! The reason I'm mentioning her is because her natural makeup is fabulous! She's been rocking big lashes with little winged liner and a natural eye shadow look. Not to mention her fabulous contouring,bold brows and her natural pink toned lipstick. Basically her look is fabulous! I've just been loving her look and I've been wearing a really similar look also this summer...Thanks to her!

Moving on to bold,bright summer colours.. I've really been loving bright lips colours and Bold eyeshadow looks.So suitable for summer and they just look fabulous! I have been really including bright colours to my makeup looks this summer because it's the perfect time to wear them and they look amazing! I really recommend trying out colourful eyeshadow looks because you won't look back! Also even smudging a bit of colour on the top or bottom lash line is such a good way to start!


Highlighting and contouring:

I've been really into highlighting and contouring my face this summer more than usual because summer is where you can most work it! Contouring my nose has been my favourite this summer..I feel like it just transforms the look!I've also been loving putting a bright or light concealer under my eyes, it really makes your face a lot brighter and healthy looking!



Lashes!!:

I've really been liking lashes not really bold ones everyday but lovely natural ones! Ardel is my favourite brand they just look amazing with winged Liner or without! I feel like it really completes a look.

So that is my favourite makeup trends this summer,A lot of this trends are around all year but I really like them in summer!
