Hey beauts!

 

I like most others often find myself differing between lip-glosses or lipsticks, which one do I go for?

I put together a few of my favourites from each category and Im going to tell you all which I prefer!

 

Lip-glosses are a good old favourite of mine, when I was younger and put on my mums makeup I always went for Lip-glosses, mainly because it didn't stain things as easy.
 
As I've got more and more into makeup Lip-glosses haven't been my go to thing as much as they once were. I just don't like the pigmentation of them or the stickiness!
 I'm always super quick to judge with lip-gloss and don't even give it a second look, however since Tanya released her range I had to get some of her collection and this made me think that I should probably give some other brands a chance too.

Now I use lip-glosses as much as I use any other lip product, I actually really like wearing lip-gloss over matte lipsticks for a stunning glossy effect



I know there's not one of you reading this that doesn't look a good pigmented lipstick -argh I just love lipsticks. Whether its a beautiful nude or a stunning burgundy, I love them all - within reason!

Lipsticks in my eyes are far more worth the money than a lip-gloss, they're so much more pigmented and not as sticky. I love how you can have matte, sheer, wet look lipsticks.

There's so many different types and it makes me want to burst with excitement. There's nothing I love more than swatching lipsticks on the back of my hand for hours on end - which in some cases is a big statement as my clothes also end up with lipstick on them!


I think my favourite has to be Lipsticks! I've always been more of a lipstick girl. What do you prefer?


If your a blog designed please do get in touch as I'm looking for a new blog design asap!

Best of Maybelline | Drugstore Beauty

Hey beauts♥

 

Know we all know I cannot keep up a series if somebody paid me, however I've had the Best Of (insert brand here) idea in my head for donkeys now. I decided that this was a series I would enjoy doing and would hopefully be able to keep up. I already have taken photos for the upcoming editions of this series.

 

Throughout this series I will pick out a few of my favourites from the brand  I have chosen and share my reasons for loving them with you!

 

 

Today I thought we'd start of with Maybelline as this was a brand that never really bothered me but lately I've found myself always appearing at there stand in Boots/Superdrug!

 

 

Are you surprised to see the dream pure BB cream in here? No. Didn't think so. This is my favourite BB EVER, I would choose this over any high end BB cream, if you want to see a full review then click here. To save me rambling on about this AGAIN. 

 

  The Maybelline Better Skin foundation has been an absolute life saver when my skins been horrid, the coverage on this is like no other. I hardly ever find a foundation that can make my skin look flawless without having to pay for it after with horrendous blemishes!

 

My mum actually recommended the 24hour color lacquer to me and I'm so glad she did. This literally lasts 24hours! I've this on in the morning and accidently fallen asleep with it on at night before and in the morning it hadn't even budged. Most lipsticks etc. fade away the second I sip at a drink but this one doesn't. Did I mention how pigmented this is???

 

I know, I know I'm super late on the hype with the Maybelline color tattoos.. Why didn't somebody make me more aware of these before?! Since buying this back in September I've been nonstop wearing it whenever I get the chance to. This acts as such a great eye shadow base or a gorgeous crease colour, it has such beautiful pigmentation. 

There all the things I have been loving from Maybelline lately! What have you been loving from Maybelline?

Which brand would you like me to do next?

My travel picks | Makeup Brushes

 

 

Hey beauts!

 

We all know when it comes to travelling and packing makeup brushes there's very big decisions to be made.. how many to take? which ones? do I really need that brush?

 

I always find myself in this situation and after a lot humming and arghing I came to a decision on what brushes to take and I thought I would share them with you.

 

Face:

 

Real Techniques blusher brush: This is my all time favourite brush and it has so many uses! I use this for blush*obviously*, powder, contour! By taking this brush it means you have to take a million less brushes!

 

Dior highlighting brush:  I got this brush last year with a whole set of brushes and at first I wasn't that amused because it malted quite a bit but after one wash it stopped malting... thank god. I use this to highlight the tops of my cheeks and forehead.

Primark powder foundation brush: This is meant for powder foundation but I think it works even better with liquid and that's exactly what I use it for, I do also use it for setting powder every now then. This is actually one of my favourite brushes believe it or not!

Eyes:

Dior eyebrow brush: Eyebrow brushes are essential for everybody in my eyes, that is of course only if you fill them in! This is an angled eye shadow brush and I just find it very easy to use.

Real Techniques all over base brush: This brush is such a loved brush throughout the whole blogging community and I too am one of them bloggers that love this brush!  I sometimes even use this for contouring smaller areas i.e. my nose.

Real Techniques deluxe crease brush: This is a rather large eye shadow brush so its not useful for much other than blending in eye shadow. However it does an amazing job of that!

Real Techniques eyeliner brush: I use a lot of gel liner over liquid eyeliner and I often find the brushes too stiff however this is one is firm but flexible enough to get the wing eye look.


There the brushes I would take away with me, have I left any out? which brushes would you take and why?, let me know in the comments.
