Beauty Haul

Loreal telescopic mascara | Revlon lip butter | Mac palette with brule eye shadow | real techniques expert face brush | maybelline gel eyeliner | Collection lasting perfection concealer

Sorry I've not made an appearance on my blog for so long! I'm back with a haul. Boots were doing buy one get one free so I got a few bits and bobs!

Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Magnetic Black, £10.99-I've heard Vivianna Does Makeup rave about this and as I was running out of mascara I thought I'd try this. I love the brush, it's plastic with lots of small bristles.

Lollipop

Juicy Papya

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya and Lollipop, £7.99-After hearing about these for ages and not getting any, as I saw them in boots I had to swatch them I was amazed. They're sooooo creamy and really pigmented. Since it's summer time, I thought I'd get out of my comfort zone and go for some bolder colours. I tried them as soon as I bought them and I'm already in love.

Mac pro palette, £6.50 & Mac eyeshadow in Brule, £10-I'm a massive fan of Mac eyeshadows and I've only ever had singles. I decided it was time to start an everyday quad as it would be so much more practical. I also decided to get Brule as I thought it would be a great start for a neutrals palette. It's a matt creamy colour and is a good all over lid colour. I'd quite like to de-pot my satin taupe eyeshadow and put it in my palette as it's my favourite. However, I've heard they're so hard to depot. If anyone has done it before, was it easy and does it ruin your eyeshadow?

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, £9.99-I finally got my hands on this! I've been looking for this brush for a while but it has always been out of stock when I've tried to get it. I already love this brush, I used it this morning to apply my foundation and it made my face look so flawless! It's so soft and buffs all your foundation into your skin to give you a natural finish.

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner, £7.99- I've never been that much of an eyeliner fan. My hands always get all shaky and wobbly when I try to apply it. I had kind of given up on liquid eyeliner, so I was wanting to try gel eyeliner. I heard people talk about this and how amazing it is. Since I'm probably not going to use gel eyeliner that often, I thought I'd get a cheaper one instead of buying something expensive that I might not want to use. The eyeliner came with a brush, so I'm going to try it with that brush and see how it goes. Wish me good luck haha!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair, £4.19-This concealer is amazing. I know you've all probably heard about this somewhere. It's a concealer you can use to conceal everything. I use it for blemishes and under-eye circles. I can never find my colour in stores as it is always out of stock, however I asked in boots and someone who works there went to get it for me in the store room. So if you have the same problem as me, just ask someone if they have any.

P.S, sorry I've not done my monthly favourites yet. I think it's probably too late now so I might have to skip a month.

April Favourites

So this month has been pretty hectic. Schoolwork has basically taken over my life! I'm midway through my exams at the moment, I finish on the 15th of May, can't wait! Anyway, I've not been putting on too much makeup this month as I've either been studying at home in sweats or in school doing an exam. However, I do still have a few things I've been loving.

MAC eyeshadow in Satin Taupe

MAC eyeshadow in Satin Taupe

MAC eyeshadow in Satin Taupe £12- This eyeshadow is fantastic. Definitely my favourite Mac eyeshadow at the moment. It's a cool toned brown with some mauve undertones (aka taupe), and it has a little bit of silvery shimmer. Not too shimmery though, it's more of a shine. It looks great on its own or as a lid colour, or even a crease colour. This has a lovely velvety texture which blends so well! I think it's a must have for any neutral fanatic like me!

Rimmel Stay Matt Powder in Transparent £3.99- So, I finally jumped on the band-waggon and bought this early in April. It's really good for the price! Not the best powder, but amazing for £3.99. It does the job for me, keeping me shine-free all day long. I just press a little bit of this of with a Bareminerals brush along the t-zone to stop me from being an oily mess! The packaging does feel cheap but for the price that is understandable. But for the price, why not!?

Sephora's Express Nail Polish Remover €7.90- This is the best nail polish remover I've ever used! I started using this ages ago, but this month I've been loving it even more as it's so quick and easy to use. On the inside of this little tub there is a sponge which you wipe your finger against and it instantly removes all your nailpolish. It also smells so good, it leaves you with fruity smelling nails. For anyone else in britain, you can't get a hold of this. I stock up on mine every year when I'm in France. There are a few dupes for these that are available in britain. Bourjois have one that is available in boots for £4.99, Nails Inc also have one that you can buy on their website for £7.00.

Maybeline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow in 35 On and On Bronze

Maybeline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow in 35 On and On Bronze

Maybeline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow in 35 On and On Bronze £4.99- These are amazing! They are an exact dupe for the MAC paint pots. This colour is so pretty and looks great as a base for a dramatic eye, or on its own for a whop of colour. It's a lovely brown toned bronze with a metalic shine to it. I love the texture of these, they're so creamy but dry almost powdery. This also has staying power, so it lasts all day!

 Thanks for reading. What have your favourites been this month?
