It's all about MAC lipsticks today! I think it's safe to assume that most of us beauty bloggers and the make up obsessed of us have heard about/own at least one MAC lipstick. I have to hold my hands up and say, yes I am addicted and so I thought i'd share my collection with you all as I absolutely love reading about other collections. 

As you can see I am a big fan of pinks and nudes, but then again who isn't! 

Some more shades that I've got my eye on are: 
Creme cup
Hue 
Fanfare 
Saint Germain 
Pink nouveau 
Twig 

But if any of you have some suggestions that are completely different to the colours i've already got please comment below and I will certainly check them out!

BOTANICS ALL BRIGHT SKIN CARE SAVIOURS

Saturday 21 March 2015


Last month I popped into boots and noticed that they had a 3 for 2 offer on their Botanics range. I've recently seen lots of posts raving about this range and in particular the 'ALL BRIGHT' products so I decided I'd give these three a go. 

ALL BRIGHT Radiance Balm £2.99 WAS £5.99

I've been using this product in replacement of my usual primer (Smashbox Photo Finish £25)and I have to say it's amazing!It really does what it says on the tube and helps to noticeably brighten your complexion, it also has a really light formulation so it's not heavy on the skin. In regards to how it is under make up it works perfectly as a primer as it keeps everything in place all day.

ALL BRIGHT Refreshing Eye Roll-On 15ml £4.49

I have to admit that recently I'd forgotten about taking care of my eyes within my usual skincare routine but this product is a real life saver. Do you ever have those mornings where you wake up and look like you've just had 10 rounds with Mike Tyson? Because I certainly do! This little miracle product helps to de-puff your eyes whilst the metal roller ball cools. 
In actual fact this product has prompted me to find a night time version, so if any of you have some recommendations on a good night cream please comment below and let me know!

ALL BRIGHT Face Serum £5-£7

Unfortunately I couldn't find this on the Boots website so I had to make a rough guess in regards to the price I paid for it as I didn't keep the receipt but never mind! This has been the first time I've used a face serum and I have to say that this is probably the product that I've been most impressed with! 
It adds so much more to your usual skin care routine and leaves my skin feeling softer than it's ever felt before (combination skin) it's a real miracle product.

Are there any skin care products you've recently discovered and just cant stop raving about? 

Also please leave your eye cream suggestions below!!

HOLIDAY BEAUTY LUSTING

Saturday 7 March 2015

Bourjois Bronzing Primer £9.99
I'm super excited to be going on holiday in May with Drew and my family so fingers crossed I'll get a tan! As soon as the weather gets a bit nicer I find myself becoming more of a bronzing addict and this product looks like it would be right up my street. It claims to smooth out your skin with an even coverage whilst having a matte finish to it. 

EOS Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet £5.99
I've heard such a hype around these lip balms and have never actually tried one. I love using fruity lip balms to hydrate my lips in the warmer weather and strawberry sorbet just sounds delicious! 

Urban Decay Sheer Revolution lipstick in Obsessed £15.50
I already own one of these lipsticks in the shade 'Liar' and it's one of my absolute favourites. The formula is amazing as well as the staying power so I've got my eye on this particular shade to spruce up my Spring/Summer lip collection. 

Make up Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in Sugar & Spice £6.00
The shades in this palette look absolutely gorgeous and it's only £6.00 I can hardly believe it. I love a nice pale pink blush in the warmer weather as it's so pretty and fresh. This palette is an absolute dream! 

L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Primer £6.99
The latest craze to hit the drugstore are the L'Oreal Mattifying primer and foundation- I am a complete sucker for a gel based primer and when I saw that this was mattifying it had to go straight on the list. 

Chanel VITALUMIÈRE AQUA £33
A bit on the pricier side I know but I find that when I go to a hotter climate I don't want heavy foundation sitting on my face and the reviews I've heard about this have been amazing plus it even has an SPF of 15.

Maybelline Colour Drama Lipstick £4.99
Another product that has recently appeared in the drugstore are these lipsticks from Maybelline. The shade range is amazing and it claims to have a creamy texture meaning that it shouldn't dry out the lips.
