I am a real lover of green polish. And with this years Pantone Color Of the Year being Emerald, its the perfect addition to any outfit. If you are a little nervous of green, then polish is the ideal place to start.
I have never really been a fan of loose powders as a rule.
I have used the Elf Hd and Mac Prep & Prime, these two being my favorites so to speak. Neither tho are products that I reach for daily.
Having had some issues with my skin recently (I have PCOS)I have been struggling with breakouts an keeping them covered.
I had heard a few beauty Gurus on YouTube talking about Dermablend, a brand that has high cover concealers and foundations for those needing a fuller cover. I have tried the foundation in the past, and although I liked it, my skin at the time was pretty good and so I sold it in a blog sale.
Knowing how full cover the foundation is I decided that I wanted to have a look at the concealer and loose powder ( LisaLisaD1 loves the powder!!).
I came away with the powder, hoping that as promised by the box it would be my fixer.
I cannot tell you enough how much I love this powder and how fantastic it works.
Its Hypoallergenic and Paraben Free, both fantastic. The powder itself is designed to set the Dermablend foundations and concealers and promises up to 16 hours with a matte and natural result.
The white soft, finely milled powder disappears on the skin, leaving what I would say is almost a satin finish rather than a flat matte look. Its not at all cakey or powdery looking and really does make my makeup last all day.
Since I have been using this I have found that I hardly if at all need to touch up my makeup throughout the day. For the first time ever I am completely sold on a loose powder.
I used it in my recent get ready with me video if you want to see it in action.....
I paid £14.30 for the powder at Boots you can get it in selected stores and online.
So back at the beginning of the month, I shared with you my love of the Rimmel Scandaleyes shadow sticks. You can see the post here.
I have been so impressed with them that I decided to pick up the other two colours in the range when they were on offer in Boots recently.
Blackmail and Tempting Turquoise
I have been wearing both these colours since I got them an awful lot. The Tempting Turquoise is probably my all time favorite turquoise pencil. I have worn it on most nights out recently, if you follow me i=on instagram you will off seen it a good few times.
As I said before Im so pleased to of found a product I love from Rimmel, I hope its the sign of things to come for me!!!!
I really am pleased that its time for February Favorites as it means that Spring is nearly here.
I have had a complete skin care over haul this month, although I was seeing some improvements, it wasn't enough, so I got some advice and have started using Avene.
As well as lots of favorites, I do have one fail this month, maybe its something you can help me with?
I thought it might be fun to show you five of my favorite products that cost £5 and under.
I like most beauty lovers am a fan of high end products, I also love lots of products from the drugstore. I dont see the point in paying a high price for a product if there is an identical one or better for a lower price.
Hello, My name is Maria and I am addicted to blusher.
I have alot of makeup addictions and love all cosmetics, however I really do think that blusher is my one true love.
In my January Favorites I spoke to you about Peach from NYX a blush that I have been obsessed with. Today I have Pinched to share with you.
Pinched is a beautiful pinkie coral with some slight gold shimmer. There is no chunky glitter in this pretty blush, just a lovely subtle golden sheen.
This blush applies beautifully and is not at all chalky or powdery on the skin. It lasts all day and is super pigmented.
The blush costs £5.50, a great price for such a great quality drugstore blush.
I wish that we were able to get NYX in our beauty halls and drugstores like in the states, you can order online tho, so all is not lost!!
Hi Everyone, hope you are all well and getting excited for Christmas!!! I have been crazy busy at work and so my November favorites are late for you this month.
I didnt have millions of new loves this past month, I have enjoyed using alot of my all time favorite items and things that are quick and easy to fit into any makeup look.
It has been nice to rediscover some of my holy grail products as well as finding a few new gems.
Have you been reaching for old faith fulls this month?
Over the recent months, I have found that I have been experimenting with a few more foundations than usual. Because of this I decided that I wanted to share with my favorites.
I have a mixture of favorites, both drugstore, mid range and high end. as well as a mixture of finishes, dewy, matte, demi matte and so on.
I find that I find myself reaching for different foundations at different times of the year as well as different occasions.
If you have been following my blog or watching my YouTube videos, You will know that I have been loving this YSL Glossy stain ever since I picked it up.
I decided that it was high time that I shared it with you.
At first I wasn't sure about the hype surrounding these glossy stains, needless to say I'm a total convert and completely get it.
As well as the usual stunning packaging that is the usual we expect from YSL, these really do deliver on all fronts.
They have a doe foot applicator that deposits the right amount of product, leaving you with glossy lips that are not sticky or overly tacky. The gloss also tints the lips and leaves a long lasting stain that doesn't dry out the lips or leave them feeling tight.
These really do feel expensive, with a price tag of £22.50 they are on the top end of what I would personally pay for a lip product, I would not hesitate to spend that again on these tho.
They are fantastic value as they are so long lasting, they also smell AMAZING!!!!
I have shade 17, a pretty fuchsia pink
Have you tried these out yet? Were you hesitant like me?
