Matte Lipstick Love

Hi Guys, 

So today I bring you a true beauty budget product. For a while I've been on the hunt for some matte lipsticks, I never used to be a fan but more recently it's all I can see on Pintrest, Instagram and I must admit seeing all these pretty matte lip looks I wanted to get in on the action! 

So I set out and managed to find four AMAZING colours.

These lipsticks are from MUA, I got mine at Superdrug and they only cost £1 each! Yes you did read that right only £1! That's only a hundred pennies - such a bargain!

So the colours that I got, from left to right, Totally Nude, Pouty Pink, Lilac Belle and Scarlett Siren. As you can see these lipsticks are actually really pigmented, especially for only being a pound! My personal favourite is Lilac Belle, it's a very adventurous colour for me but I think that
now it's Spring it's acceptable to try and pull off lilac lips. 

One thing I will add though is that because these are matte lipsticks they are very drying, so girls   make sure you moisturise your lips before applying this lipstick - we all know chapped lips and dry lipstick are one of the worlds biggest no go's. 

I thought I had to share this find with you all, as well or £1 you just can't go wrong :)

                                        

Little Mix's Make Up line with Collection

Hi Guys, 

I was in Superdrug the other day when I saw that Little Mix had brought out some make up items with Collection, All of the items were under £4 so I thought I'd pick up a few pieces to try! 

First thing this is definitely aged at a younger more teenage age, but I still wanted to try some of the pieces out. I got Jesy and Leigh-Anne's trio eye shadow which were both £3.19 each and I also got Leigh-Anne's bronzer which was £2.99.

Leigh-Anne's Trio.

Leigh-Anne's Bronzer.

So as you can see for the price your getting a good amount of product and good pigmentation. The eyes shadows really suprised me how pigmented they are although I will say they do wear off and go quite dull throughout the day I had to top up around 2 o'clock from putting it on at 8 in the morning. The bronzer is so beautiful I love mosaic bronzers and I think the sheen on this one is just beautiful. I'm going on holiday In November and this is definitely coming with me!

Have you tried any of Little Mix's Collection products?

New Barry M Products!

Hi Guys,

So Today I went into SuperDrug & the Barry M stand was chock full of new products (yay!)

I grabbed what interested me and ran to the till to pay, I was so excited to just go home and use the new beauty items.

I brought all of the new palettes which all include of 6 eye shadows and a blush, I also picked up some of the new nail polishes.

Now as always Barry M isn't a brand that's going to break the bank, the palettes were all £6.49 each and I believe that the nail polishes weren't any more than £3.99 each. When I was younger Barry M was one of the brands that I would drag my mom to, to buy me nail polishes galore. As I got older the same old products at Barry M started to bore me, that's why I was so excited to see these new items today!

                 So the 3 palettes, are Smokin' hot, Natural Glow and Glamour Puss.

Below is the Smokin' Hot Palette

Here is the Natural Palette

& finally here's the Glamour Puss Palette,

For just over £6 these palettes are amazing, the pigmentation & colour pay off is lovely. 

The palettes are just the right size to fit into your hand bag too!

 I also got some Barry M Nail polishes;

Drug Store Hero

Hi Guys :)

So when it comes to drug store brands hands down my favourite is Rimmel and this year in particular they have brought out some amazing products (Apocalips & Wake me up foundation I'm talking to you). But I think that I often forget about the other drug store brands, usually when I pop into Boots or Superdrug I'll go straight to the Rimmel stand, and ignore everything else around me. 

So recently I've been going a bit drugstore mad. I've brought items from Loreal, Barry M, Revlon, Maybelline, Collection 2000 basically them all! & I've found I have a new drug store brand hero. Maybelline. 

I can't believe how blind I've been to this brand, I know that Tanya Burr swears by their Falsies Mascara but apart from that I didn't know too much about the brand or products. 

Anyway I've been buying their products for the last couple of months now and thought I'd share with you my top 3 favourite Maybelline products. (Actually I had 4 favourites but I did a whole separate post on my ultimate number 1 Maybelline Product click here to read all about it!)

My top 3 products are: Brow Drama, Colour Tattoos & Expert Wear Mono eye shadows.

1. The Brow Drama is a recently new product for Maybelline, it's priced at £4.99 (BARGAIN) and is a finishing wand for brows. I've recently got into "grooming" my brows so I was keen to get my hands on it quick. At first I did have my doubts thinking how would this be different from using a clear mascara but it is just so much more! The wand shape has a ball on the end and it's really easy to match the shape of your brows, the formula is quite thick and I like this - it allows you to build up the amount of colour you want on your brows. 

I use this with my brow pencil and HD brow kit, all 3 make my brows perfect!

2. The Colour Tattoo eye shadow creams are amazing you guys, I have been using these for a good few months and I just can't get enough of them. The colour range is brilliant, the colour pay off  and pigmentation is great and the staying power really is all day. 

Again these are extremely purse friendly at just £4.99!!! Such an amazing price and this is the type of product that really will last you. 

I currently have 7 colours and I want so many more!

 

The shades I brought were; metallic pomegranate, eternal gold, on and on bronze, 24k gold, light in purple, turquoise forever, immortal charcoal. 

I use these almost every day now and they're great for bases or being used on there own if you're in a rush! 

3. So finally my last product from Maybelline is the Expert Wear Mono eye shadow.   These eye shadows are only £4.09, and you get a lot of product. I chose three colours to show you guys, these are ones that I find myself reaching for more often and I guess they're those sort of colours that you can wear everyday.

So there you have it my top 3 Maybelline products & they're all under £5. 

Have you tried any of these before?
