Monthly Favourites

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, today I'm doing a monthly favourites, I haven't done one in a while and I've had some new favourites to share with you and these have been from the last couple months too.

Beauty Favourites

Starting off with eyes, the Makeup Revolution Palette in Iconic 3, every since buying it which was quite a while ago it has become a firm favourite of mine. I love the pigmentation and the quality of they eyeshadows and the colours are just beautiful, you can create both daytime and night time looks that are natural or smokey. For only £4 you can't go wrong and it's a dupe for the Naked 3. Next is the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette, I've had this for ages and I digged it out of my collection and started using it again, I use the pink and brown shades and not really the greens and you can create a natural everyday spring look, the eyeshadows are really pigmented and a great formulation. I haven't been wearing liquid eyeliner as much and this Bare Minerals Lasting Line in Forever Brandy is a lovely brown shade, it's more natural and looks really nice with my blue eyes.

For blushes it's been NYC West Side Wine it's a lovely pale pink that really suits my skin tone and looks natural and it's matte. Ever since getting MAC's Soft and Gentle it has been my favourite highlighter of all time, it just gives a beautiful glow to the cheeks and I've been wearing it most days, it's definitely worth the money. The Catrice blush in Love and Peach is a gorgeous orange peach shade that is perfect for Spring and Summer, it's really pigmented and lasts really well on the cheeks.

Then for lipsticks I've been wearing, Bourjois Color Boost in Peach on the Beach, it's a peachy pink shade that is such a stunning colour and perfect for Spring, I love these lip pencils because they are really moisturising but still pigmented. Revlon Colourburst in Fuchsia is a gorgeous pink fuchsia shade, that I absolutely love it's really pigmented and lasts really well. Last up is the Kate Moss Lipstick in 08, this is a pinky brown shade that is a good everyday shade that looks great with any look.

Non-Beauty Favourites

Music- Kelly Clarkson-Heartbeat Song, I just love Kelly Clarkson's music and have been a big fan of her from the beginning, Maroon 5-Sugar I love this song and the video is great, James Bay-Hold Back The River another amazing song I love.

TV Shows- The Flash is such a good show, I've been hooked from the beginning and you should definitely check it out, Grey's Anatomy I love this show but was so gutted when they killed off a main character, I won't put who it was in case someone hasn't seen it. Catfish is another great show.

Film- Insurgent such a great film and I watched it in 3D that made it so much better, it was really action packed and I liked the twist they had on the book.

What have your favourites of the month been?

The Blush Addict Tag

Hey Lovelies, I've been super busy recently and not feeling the best, so sorry for the lack of posts and I'm going to try my best to post regularly again.

The lovely Heather from Porcelain Beauty, tagged me to do this post and she has an amazing blog so definitely go check it out.

1. What colour blush suits you the most?
For me I think pale pinks suit me best but I do like orange and coral blushes too as well as more vibrant shades but because I have a pale complexion, pale pinks work best with my skin.

2. Pressed/cream/loose blush? 
It has to be pressed blush they are my favourite by far, I always find them really pigmented and what I use the most but I do like using cream blushes in Spring and Summer they just make your skin look more dewy and fresh.

3. Favourite shimmery blush?
That's a hard choice but I think I will have to go with Sleek's Rose Gold it's such a gorgeous shade and really brightens up your cheeks. All Sleek blushes are really pigmented and long lasting that's what I like most about them.
  
4. Favourite matte blush?  
That's another hard one I would have to say Nars Douceur it's such a lovely everyday shade that goes with any look and gives definition to your cheeks. For a cheaper option I would say Sleek's Suede this is also an everyday sort of shade that goes with every makeup look.

5. Favourite cream blush?  
My favourite cream blush I would have to say is the Bourjois Cream Blush in 03 Rose Tender it's a gorgeous pearly pink shade that looks amazing on the skin and isn't too much.

6. Favourite drugstore blush?  
Another hard one I have quite a few favourites but I would have to say NYC West Side Wine it's a lovely pale pink that I can easily wear or Makeup Revolution blushes they are so pigmented and last really well on the cheeks.

7. Favourite high end blush? 
My Favourite high end blush would have to be MAC's Well Dressed it's a gorgeous pale pink with shimmer that isn't really noticeable and looks great on lighter skin tones.

8. Favourite bright blush?  
I don't have too many bright blushes, I prefer more subtle blushes but if I had  to pick I would probably say Catrice's Love and Peach it's a bright orangey peach shade that is really pigmented.

9. Biggest blush disappointment/regret?  
I don't have any disappointments or regrets with the blushes I have, I always research before buying a product to make sure I will like it and isn't a waste of money.

10. Best blush packaging?  
I don't own any but I think the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush packaging looks absolutely stunning and sophisticated and I definitely want to try out some of their blushes. From the packaging I do have I would say MAC or Nars it's simple and sleek.

11. What's on your blush wish list?
Like I mentioned it would have to be Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes or more Nars Blushes I only have one and definitely want more.

12. Number 1 holy grail blush?  
A hard one to choose but I would have to say Nars Douceur it's a lovely everyday shade that can go with any look I wear and give my cheeks definition and Nars blushes are really pigmented and last really well on the cheeks. 

I don't know who hasn't done this tag yet but if you haven't go for it and leave a link so I can read. I tag Alessia, Chelsea and Sophia and anyone else who wants to do it. 

Sleek Rose Gold Blush

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice bank holiday, I've got a new post for you on Sleek's Rose Gold Blush*.

I've wanted this blush for ages, I've heard so many good things about this blush and it being a dupe of Nars Orgasm blush and I've had it ages but I've only just got round to reviewing it.

First off just look at this swatch it's absolutely gorgeous, I've been wearing it most days and I love the glow it gives to my cheeks and it's perfect for Spring and Summer.

Like in the name rose gold the blush is a pink coral shade with gold shimmer, that gives your cheeks a nice glow and really brightens up your skin.

I've always liked Sleek packaging it's compact and I like that they have mirrors in their eyeshadow palettes and blushes, it makes it easy to throw in your bag when your on the go.

Sleek blushes have been a favourite of mine for years and they never disappoint, they are a great formulation always pigmented, easy to blend and long lasting and good value for money.

Sleek have lots of different shades and only cost £4.49 you really can't go wrong and would highly recommend picking up some of their blushes.

What are your favourite Sleek blushes?

Quick Update and Bare Minerals Lasting Line Long Wearing Eyeliner in Forever Brandy

Hey Lovelies, hope your all doing well and having a nice day. If you've noticed I haven't blogged for a few weeks, I've had a lot going on and not been in the best place, so I needed time before I came back and being in the right mind set to blog I think is important because I always want to do good posts for you all. On to the post I'm talking about the Bare Minerals Lasting Line Long Wearing Eyeliner in Forever Brandy.

I've had this eyeliner for ages but I only started using it over the last few months and it has become a firm favourite of mine.

This eyeliner is in Forever Brandy it's a gorgeous matte brown shade, I've always been a black eyeliner sort of person on my lid but since using this I've been loving wearing brown eyeliner, it's a lot more natural and subtle. It also really brings out my blue eyes.

The eyeliner is really pigmented and long lasting, I often find with pencil type eyeliners they don't last very well but this eyeliner lasts a really long time on the lid. I've just been wearing it on the lid but you can wear it on the waterline too.

It's really easy to apply to the lid but I do find it harder to blend out. The packaging is really sleek and it has a little smudger on the end to help blend out the eyeliner if you want it more subtle.

If your on the lookout for a new eyeliner, you should definitely give this one a go and it's only £14 as it's really pigmented and long lasting.

Bloggers Fun Day Meetup

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice weekend, I was going to do this post at the beginning of the week but I had a lot to do and didn't have time but it's here now. Last weekend I went to the Bloggers Fun Day at Handmade Burger Co at Valley Centertainment in Sheffield. Billie organised this event and she was so welcoming as soon as we came in even though she was nervous, she didn't need to be she did an amazing job and it was fun for all the bloggers.

We had Lush Meadowhall and the two ladies were really lovely and informative, they talked about their massage bars, I have never really used these products so it was nice to learn about them. They then went on to give hand and arm massages I've had one before so I didn't this time but I know from experience they are really nice and relaxing and leave your skin feeling soft. They also talked a little about the Lush Spa's which sound amazing and I've never been to one but I think I might have to when I have some money. They also taked a bit about their perfumes too.

Handmade Burger Co very generously let us have the food, sides and refill of drinks completely free which so nice of them and their food was just amazing, just looking at these pictures it's making my mouth water it was absolutely delicious. Billie had someone make cupcakes for the meetup and they were really nice too.

It was so nice to meet some new bloggers from Sheffield that I had never met before and chatting with some bloggers I had seen at previous events and have talked to before, everyone was so lovely and easy to talk to.

Then we got the personalised tote bags from The Blogger Programme with lots of lovely goodies including Elf Vouchers and Products, Your Tea, Leaflight Moisturising Cream, Personal Planner Voucher, Merumaya Deluxe Sample Set, Halo Eye Makeup Wipes, Skinetica Toner, Into The Red CD from a Local Band, Nourish Celluar Skin Perfection, Nanshy Blending Brush and Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm.

The meetup was so relaxing and I got the chance to talk to most of the other bloggers and we all had fun and thoroughly enjoyed the day. A big thank you to Billie for organising this lovely meetup.

Favourite Shade Lipsticks

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a good day. Today I've got a lipstick post on some of my favourite shades.

I'm definitely a lipstick junkie and love switching up what shades I wear. I have so many lipsticks and here are some of my favourite shades.

I have a lot of pink shades they are definitely what I wear most so it was hard to pick just one pink shade but I went for the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusive it's a gorgeous everyday pink shade that you can wear with any look. Revlon Colorburst Balms have been a favourite of mine since they were released they are pigmented and long lasting, the Matte Balms are slightly more drying than the regular and lacquer balms but overall they are an amazing lip product. If you want to see a collection of my pink lipsticks let me know but I do worn you I have lots.

MAC Russian Red is my go to, all time favourite red. If I'm ever wearing a red it is usually this lipstick. Russian Red is matte but its not drying at all, it's really pigmented and lasts really well. It's a beautiful brick red that I think will suit any skin tone. I think everyone loves a MAC lipstick, I certainly do.

17 Mirror Shine in Beehive is my favourite nude it's a lovely pink nude and isn't too pale for my skin tone and I can pull it off. I find with nudes it sometimes hard for me to find a shade that will suit me. I also love the L'Oreal Cheryl Nude and it was a tuff one to pick between these two but they are both pinky nudes. Beehive is so moisturising and lasts quite well but isn't overly pigmented.

Next up is MAC Rebel this is a gorgeous plumy berry shade and I absolutely love it, this is a great Autumn/Winter shade. It looks really dark in the tube but it isn't that dark and it will suit all skin tones. Rebel is a Satin finish and isn't drying at all, it's really pigmented and long lasting. I don't have many purple shades but this is my all time favourite.

Last up is Bourjois Colourboost in Peach on the Beach, I don't have many peachy/orange shades because I don't think many really suit me but this a lovely peachy pink shade that does suit me. The Colourboosts are so moisturising but still pigmented but they don't last as long as some of the other lip products I've mentioned.

What are some of your favourite shade lipsticks?

Wedding OOTD

Hey Lovelies, over a week ago my parents got married after 25 years of being together, it was so surreal I never thought they would after being together for so long. Anyway I wanted to do an outfit post because I loved the dress I bought, I didn't include pictures of my family because I didn't know if they wanted to be on here.

This dress is from Debenhams and was on sale for only £50, the blazer was from Missguided for £18, I wore some black heels that were from Matalans ages ago and my bag is from Primark.

I love the one shoulder design and the pattern of the dress, I think it is really elegant and the blazer gives a splash of colour to the outfit, so it's not all dark and it's a nice smart blazer that I can wear for interviews and it's a nice colour.

I kept my makeup quite minimal, I used pinks and browns on my eyes but really blended it out and had winged eyes, peachy cheeks and a everyday neutral pink lip.

The wedding was really magical and such an amazing day and me and my sister got to be witnesses and sign the registry.

House of Fraser-Valentines Gift Guide For Her

Hey Lovelies, hope your all alright and having a good day. Today I have a Valentines Gift Guide for Her, sorry for the photo's not being the best quality but I had to use my sisters boyfriends IPhone 6 for the pictures because it was the best quality I had because I let my parents take my camera on there honeymoon but I wanted to put up this post for you. I got this from House of Fraser* to be included in the gift guide.

This Benefit Primping with the Stars Makeup Kit, is a gorgeous little kit it includes, They`re Real mini, Stay Don't Stray mini, Benetint medium, Some Kind-A Gorgeous Medium, Girl Meets Pearl mini and Porefessional mini. I have tried the They're Real mascara and Porefessional before and they have been favourites of mine for ages. I love these products, the mascara lengthens and volumises my lashes without clumping up and the primer leaves my skin feeling amazing and helps make my makeup last longer and I've heard good things about these other products in the kit. Any girl that loves beauty will love this kit, it has mini products that you can take on the go easily and what you need in your makeup bag. This kit is £26.50.

Us girls love perfume and smelling nice, so even of these perfumes would be a good option and are quite popular and are both floral scents. Roses De Chloe is £56 for the 50ml bottle and the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream is £39 for the 30ml. If there is any other perfumes that you know your girlfriend/wife likes then definitely go for that.

This Pandora Silver Bracelet Heart-Shaped Clasp is simple but elegant and I think a lot of girls would like it and when they wear it, it will be sentimental and when they see it, it will remind them of you and this gorgeous gift you got them. This bracelet is £55.

Last up is the MAC Mineralize Rich Lipsticks, all of us girls that love beauty, love MAC lipsticks, I've not tried this formulation of lipstick but all the other MAC lipsticks I've tried I've loved. A pink everyday shade is a good shade to go for as they will wear it more and suit most skin tones. These lipsticks are £22.

I think for sure most girls love flowers and chocolates so if you know their favourite type of flowers and chocolates pick them up for them.

If your finding it hard to pick something out for your girl, definitely go check out the House of Fraser website for ideas.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin

Hey Lovelies, sorry for being a bit MIA on the blog, if you follow me on twitter you will know I have been super busy and so my blog had to take a bit of back seat. Anyway I've got a new post today on the Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin.

I got this Primer Potion at the blogger meetup I helped organised back in October, I've had so many products to try out and I like to give them a good go before putting up a post. I've never tried the Primer Potions and I've heard so many good things, so I was so excited to try it.

This Sin Primer Potion has become a new favourite of mine, you only need a small amount and it's really pigmented and creamy and easy to blend and then it sets and makes my eye makeup stay on all day without creasing, I just love it.

The Primer Potion in Sin is a light champagne beige shade, that is metallic and is a nice everyday shade and you could even wear it on it's own.The packaging is simple but nice and easy to get the product out.

The Primer Potion is a little pricey at £16 but you get 11ml but a little goes a long way so it will last you for quite some time.

What do you think to the Urban Decay Primer Potions?

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle

Hey Lovelies, hope your all alright and having a good day. Today I've got a review on MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle, I got this for Christmas and ever since I've been wearing it so much I absolutely love it. 

I've always been a highlighter fan and I wanted to try Soft and Gentle for ages but I didn't want to fork out £23 and luckily enough my parents got me it for Christmas, every since getting it I've been using it constantly and has become my new favourite highlighter, it beats any others I have in my collection.

Soft and Gentle looks like a golden peachy champagne sort of highlight and it does but also it has a hint of a pink to it. The highlight is absolutely gorgeous and it highlights your cheeks so well and will suit most skin tones.

The highlighter isn't glittery but metallic and gives such a nice glow to your face. I just use the highlighter on tops of my cheekbone mostly but you can use it on your forehead, nose, under the brow bone or in your inner corner, it's a nice multi purpose product. You can use the highlighter day or night and in any season, it makes your skin look dewy and glowy which just looks amazing.As always I like MAC packaging it's simple but sleek.

It is quite expensive for the highlighter but you do get a lot of product and I would definitely recommend it, if your looking for a new highlighter, it's such a gorgeous highlight and gives your skin a nice glow.

What's your favourite highlighter?
