February Favourites

Hello my lovelys!

Today's post is going to be my February favourites as im sure you can guess from the title!

So as i said in last months favourites i'd been loving the Nars sheer glow foundation but i'd been using it too much and i didn't want to waste it on everyday use. I was reccomended to try out the Revlon Colour stay foundation. So i did.

This foundation is very comparable to the Nars sheer glow foundation as it gives the same finish, it lasts all day and it's full coverage. Now this one is thicker than Nars but when i use a beauty blender with it, it goes on like a dream! It covers up all my redness and blemishes and it has great lasting power. I'm in the shade Buff and it's a great match, however it does have a slight yellow undertone to it and my skin has pink undertones. It's quite pricey at £12.99 but I am happy to repurchase it as it works so well on my skin!
I did buy the one for oily skin by accident and i noticed a lot of the foundation started to cling on my dry areas so i make sure i cleanse, tone, moisturise and prime well before using it and then it's great. But next time i will be picking up the right one! Really like this product!

For Valentines day i got the Naked 3 pallette and i have used it everyday since! I in LOVE  with this pallette and it works so well on my skin tone and eye colour. I was woried about it being pink but it's amazing and each colour seems to adapt to your tones. I've already done a post on my thoughts about the Naked 3 so i wont ramble on! But it's the perfect palette for spring in my opinion!

Now that spring is coming i'm no longer feeling the heavy black thick winged liner and im going for a more subtle smokey look. So for this effect i've just been lining my lash line with the Maybelline Eye Studio Master Smokey pencil in either black or brown depending on the eyeshadow used and then smudging it out to make the lashes appear thicker and to make the eyes look softer. 

I've found myself reaching for my Benefit Rockateur blush recently as it gives a healthy glowing look and it's a gorgeous rose gold blush that compliments the Naked 3 palette well. I love the smell of it too!

I've also started loving glossy lips and put away the lipsticks and just stuck to the gloss as i feel like it makes any look more fresh and not so heavy.
I want to start toning down my makeup looks so i've been trying different techniques.

There is one brush i've been adoring this month and that's the real techniques blush brush. I really like this brush for bronzer to warm up the face and for blush as i feel like they go on so much smoother without scratching my foundation off.

I've obviously still been loving previous favourites like my Sleek contour kit and Maybelline age rewind concealer but I'm trying to use different things each month so it's not monotonous!

Hope you enjoyed!

January Favourites!

Hello my lovelys!

I can not believe it is February already! Time goes way to fast....
So today's post is going to be my January favourites.

For Christmas i got the NARS Sheer glow foundation and i have been using this everyday since! I love this foundation so much and i think i really need to calm down on the usage as it costs £31 a bottle!
The lightest application makes my skin look healthy and the redness disappears. It is has buildable coverage to medium but it's not great at concealing blemishes and dark circles so I'll always use a concealer on top for a flawless coverage. I would say the lasting time is about 6-8 hours depending on the thickness. I'm not really sure it 'glows' but it has a bit of dewiness throughout the day .I'm matched in the shade Mont Blanc and i feel like it's a tad dark as I'm so pale right now. I've also been breaking out a lot lately around my chin so I'm planning on using something else for a while to see if it's the foundation.. I really hope its not because it's my favourite foundation ever!

I picked up these two mascara's before Christmas at TK Maxx and i absolutely adore them! I use the L'oreal telescopic explosion first to add volume to my lashes and i then go over it with the L'oreal telescopic clear and this gets clumps out, lengthens and separates. Together these are the BOMB! my lashes look full and long and they were £3.99 each instead of  £10.99 each! i'm pretty sure you can find them on Amazon or ebay for around the price i got them.

As i recently did a post on the Collection 2000 extreme 24hr felt liner you'll already know that i adore this! So easy to apply, so quick, so black and lasts really long! Can't go wrong for £2.99.

I got this paint pot by MAC in Utterly Becoming for Christmas in the limited edition gift set and i love this a lot. It's a great base for eye shadows as it blurs out veins and imperfections making sure that your eyeshadow is true to colour and lasts all day long. I'll even wear this on days when i don't want to wear eyeshadow because when i apply my eyeliner it doesn't transfer anywhere on my lid. Which is my pet peeve! It's a shame it's no longer available as I'll really have to make this one last but I've used it non stop so far and I've barley made a dent so i think it will last me a while anyway. 

Again as i recently did a post on how much i love Snob by MAC, it probably comes as no surprise to you! I just love the colour on me. It's a great shade of pink that is light enough for everyday to make you look put together and it's simple enough to finish off a night time smokey look without having too much going on!

And finally I've been loving this Wet N Wild eyeshadow trio in walking on egg shells. This look I've been wearing everyday almost. The lid colour is a gorgeous shimmery pink which just brightens up your eyes, the crease colour is a shimmery brown but when you blend it, it looks matte. It's the perfect crease colour as it pulls the eye look together and creates a lot of dimension and the highlight is a beautiful white/ silver shimmer and really compliments my skin tone. My friend got me this from Florida but 'm sure you can find it online.

I really made an effort to try new things this month as last year everything was very samey! 

So i will make a conscious effort to do the same in February!
