May Favourites



Illimasqua Liquid Light Foundation in 133:
I have had this foundation for a while now and I really love how this looks on my skin as it gives a light coverage which is build able and it is perfect for spring and summer as it doesn't feel to heavy on the skin. I have had a disaster with this foundation before as I have found that it cannot be worn when it is raining as it will melt off the face. 


Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette:
This is a recent purchase for me and I have reviewed it, and I have completely fell in love with it and have found myself neglecting my Naked palettes which used to be my go to for my everyday makeup, the colours are so easy to wear and are really blend able. 


Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:
This is also something that I have had for a while and I use this brush almost every time I put makeup on it is such an amazing brush it is really easy to use and make it very easy to buff my foundation in and it doesn't take forever which is a bonus. 


Sleek Contour Kit in Light: 
I really like contouring my face and this is one of the best products I have used, you do have to be very careful and it is really pigmented, which makes it very quick and easy to contour my face, I also like the fact that it comes with I highlighter and it is perfect for days when I am in a hurry as it don't have to hunt around for other products. 


Makeup Revolution Highlighter in Peach Lights: 
While I am on the topic of highlighter I have recently purchased the highlighter in peach lights for makeup revolution and I have fallen in love with it an have been neglecting my sleek highlighter as a results it is the perfect colour for my skin and is really fine so it gives an amazing glow to the skin and because it isn't to shimmery I don't have to worry about being heavy handed. 


Smashbox Photo Finish Primer:
Now I have been using the Benefit Porefessional for a while and really love it but I have sadly ran out so when I received a sample of the Smashbox primer I thought I should use that before deciding whether to repurchase the Porefessional and I really like it, it feels really nice on the skin and my makeup lasts all day which is a very good thing and I no that this would not be very good for my friend Becca as she has some issues with silicones in primers and it does feel like it contains a lot. 


Makeup Revolution Matte Eye Primer:
Now I have to say I have been using the Urban Decay primer potion for about a year and up until now have not found a eyeshadow primer that matched, I can now say that I have, the matte eye primer from makeup revolution is really amazing and I think I prefer it to my urban decay primer, as it stop my eyes from getting very oily throughout the day and it makes my eyeshadow stay in place which is amazing, and makeup revolution also do different types of eye primer which I might have to check out sometime. 


Makeup Revolution Essential Matte Palette:
My last favourite is the Essential matte palette from make revolution (can you see a theme) I have been using this palette on the days where I can't really be bothered to spend a lot of time on my eyes and I tend too use some of the lightest shades on my eyes and use one of the browns as a very quick and simple smokey eye.

March Beauty Favourites




The first thing I have been loving is my Illamasqua Skin Base: 
I have been using this almost everyday this month. I love the coverage that I can get with this foundation depending on the brush that I use. It is also the prefect colour for me and it doesn't wash me out which is a bonus an other reason that I like this foundation is that it doesn't make my skin feel oily which is a huge plus for me as I have really oily skin. 

The second thing I have been loving this month is my Body Shop Honey Bronzer in the shade 002 fair: 
I have had this Bronzer for awhile and I have found that it is the prefect shade for me as I have fair skin so I find it hard to get Bronzer that isn't too dark. I can also use this to contour and to just bronze up my face. 

The third thing I have been loving this month is my Benefit There Real Mascara: 
I have been using this mascara for a awhile now I have eventually finished my sample and opened my big tube that I got for Christmas and I really do love this mascara almost as much as my L'oreal volume million mascara. This really does make my lashes look lovely. 

The fourth thing I have been loving this month is my Collection 2000 extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner: 
This is another thing that I have had for a while and I stopped using it and I have recently remembered how much I enjoy using eye liner and remembered how to do winged eyeliner which is a bonus. I am also really surprised that this hasn't dried out yet and for £2.99 it is a bargain. 

The last thing I have enjoyed using is my Real Techniques Stippling Brush: 
I bought this to use with my creme foundation but I have loved using this with all of my foundations this month, which means that I don't have as many brushes to clean which is a huge bonus as i normally put this off for as long as possible.
