September Beauty Favourites

Hey beaut's!

It's monthly favourites time again.... Who's totally obsessed with all things Autumnal already? I know I am he he. These next few months coming up are my absolute favourite, I love it! Anyway before I get into my beauty favourites I have to just add in a couple of TV favourites, I don't normally do this but wow, who's been watching Doctor Foster and Liar, I'm totally addicted! I still have no idea who's lying in Liar, is she crazy and making everything up?? Is he absolutely vile?? Who knows, but I cant wait to find out!

I have been totally obsessed with my Z Palette and my Anastasia Subculture Palette recently, my Z Palette has a mix of Makeup Geek and Freedom Makeup shades and I've particularly been loving the shade Grandstand by Makeup Geek (middle, far right), it's the most stunning rose gold/copper shade with a foil finish that can be used in so many ways, I'm obsessed!

Zoella's Snow'ella Body Mist has been my favourite scent all throughout September, its so fresh, bright and clean and is amazing for everyday, casual use! Technic's Metalix Eyeshadow Cream in Taupe Be has been my go to for days when I quickly need to whack some eyeshadow on a get out the door without the need for loads of blending, it looks so stunning on the eyes and it sets really well too and doesn't budge once it's on! Tanya Burr's Peonies Please Illuminating Powder has been my total obsession since my birthday in August, it's the prettiest blush/highlight hybrid I've ever seen or used, the pinky glow is just stunning, if you haven't tried this yet then you need to beaut's! Finally for lips I've been using Revlon's Black Cherry Lipstick, although it looks super dark in the bullet it's actually a lovely berry colour perfect for Autumn, you can find my swatch of it HERE.

What have you been loving this September  beaut's?? I'd love to know!

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color Review

Hey beaut's!

Ever since the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors where released I had been lusting after them and finally I picked one up from Boots a few weeks ago, I know, I know I'm super late to the party but I got there in the end hehe.

The Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors (£8.99) are available in seven shades ranging for neutral to brighter pinks and reds, I opted for Devotion a gorgeous neutral rosy pink shade that's super wearable, Devotion is actually one of the lightest pink's in the collection although it still packs an almighty pink punch, it actually reminds me of Mac's Mehr a lot.

The formula of the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color in Devotion is lovely, it's SUPER pigmented, feels really lightweight on the lips, has a moisturizing feel despite being matte and is very easy to apply because of it's curved, velvety applicator that just hugs the lips. As the name would suggest the finish is matte however.... mine takes a good couple of hours to set matte, yup I did say hours! When I first apply the product it goes on glossy and like I said before it feels lightweight and moisturizing but that matte feeling isn't there at all, and until it has actually set it transfers terribly on cups and glasses when drinking which annoyingly takes some of the product off too. I've actually played around with this a lot to see if I could speed up the setting time and the only successful way I've found so far is by blotting it a lot on a tissue straight after application, this does speed up setting time and im left with a velvety, matte finish that lasts a good 5 hours on me without being drying in anyway. 

Overall I do like the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color but I wouldn't say I love it, I mean it's so comfortable to wear on the lips once it's set and I really love the shade I bought as it's right up my street and so wearable for everyday but I'm a little disappointed about the finish. I expected  it to dry/set after a minute of so like most liquid lip products and the fact it doesn't has put me off trying any of the other shades within the collection, when I get a product like this I really don't want to have to faff around blotting etc, it's such a shame as I was really excited for these.

Have you tried any of the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors? What did you think? I'd love to know!

November Glossybox Review ♥

Hi beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossy box time!!! This month Glossy box  have a 'Lipstick to Lashes' themed box for us to tie in with this autumnal time of the year when your makeup should have a touch more drama. I'm so happy with the contents this month, theres five products in total, four of which are full size which is a major bonus and I happen to love everything in my box and will get use out of everything so it's a big thumbs up from me this month he he.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry | Full Size | £7.99

Firstly this month we have this gorgeous Revlon Lipstick. Last month Glossy box told us that we would all be getting a Revlon Lipstick inside our November box and that we would have full control over choosing the lipstick shade with four shades to choose from, but because I was late to the party I missed out on choosing mine ooppsie. Out of the four shades that I could have picked I was lusting after the ever so popular Black Cherry and thankfully I actually ended up getting that shade woohoo! Black Cherry is a gorgeous rich burgundy-wine colour perfect for the Autumn/Winter months ahead and has a moisturising creme finish that feels so nice on the lips, arrrhhh I love it so much!

MUA Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed | Full Size | £4.00

Next up is the MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette which is totally up my street, it contains 12 eye shadows in a mixture of neutral, earthy tones which I tend to wear everyday and look how similar the palette is to the Urban Decays Naked Palette, its easily a dupe for sure. All of the shades are well pigmented and the formula and quality seems pretty good so I cant wait to give this a go.

Eylure Natural Lashes | Full Size | £5.00

With the party season fast approaching these Eylure false lashes will come in really handy, the set I received are called Naturalites which provide a subtle boost of volume and length to your lashes and will finish off any sparkly eye look perfectly this season, I'm definitely going to rock mine at the Christmas party I'm going to that for sure.

Royal Apothic Body Creme | Full Size | £14.50

With the colder weather comes dryer skin so the Royal Apothic Body Creme turned up just in time. The body creme contains lactic acid which smooths the skin and keeps it hydrated leaving you with super soft skin all day long. I have actually been using the body creme every evening since receiving it in my Glossy box and my goodness it's amazing, my skins never felt so soft and moisturised and it works well as a hand cream too so I'm going to be keeping mine in my handbag at all time for when m skin needs that boost in moisture.

Emite Diamond Heart Primer | Travel Size| 

The only sample in this months box is Emite's Diamond Heart Primer, this peachy toned formula is said to balance out our skin tone, boost radiance and create a smooth finish for our base makeup to sit on top of. I haven't used this yet but I am expecting good things from this little beauty!

  What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Autumn/Winter Beauty Essentials ♥

Hey beaut's!

Being the Autumn/Winter lover that I am I couldn't resist doing a post dedicated to some of the beauty products that I know are going to be well loved by me this season. Firstly I love to have a nice moisturised, dewy looking base and Garnier's Moisture Match in Goodbye Dry is a must for me, I went through two tubes of the stuff last year and it was the only daily moisturiser that kept my face completely moisturised throughout then entire Autumn/Winter so I'd highly recommend that. For foundation and concealer I find Rimmel are always a winner, their Match Perfection Foundation is gorgeous and so luminous and the Wake Me Up Concealer really brightens up that under eye area on the dull winters mornings! For the eyeballs the Urban Decay Naked Palette is a must have, it contains all the shades you'll need for the Autumn/Winter including the gorgeous gold shade Half Baked which I tend use to death at this time of year to create a gold smokey eye. If your looking for something more quick to use and affordable the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Metallic Pomegranate is great! 

Next up is that pout... It's essential to look after your lips over the colder month's as they are prone to getting dry, flaky and chapped when it's freezing cold. I love to use a good scrub like the Lush Lip Scrubs often as they not only put some well needed moister back into my lips but it will remove any dry flaky patches and prepare a nice base for my chosen lippy. Lip Balm and a berry toned lip is also a must during the cooler months and my current favourites are the Burt's Bees Lip Balm and the Revlon ColorStay Moisture Lip Stain in Parisian Passion. Finally you have to keep that body moisturised because the colder climate can really take its tole on your skin and I find Soap and Glory always help me when it comes to skincare. Their Righteous Butter is so thick and creamy and just melts into the skin and their Hand Food hand cream is my handbag essential because my poor hands really suffer when its cold!

Burt's Bees 100% Natural Lip Balm £4.89 / Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter / Soap & Glory Hand Food Hydrating Hand Cream / Moroccan oil Treatment £13.00 / Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub / Urban Decay Naked Palette / Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow in Metallic Pomegranate / Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation / Revlon ColorStay Moisture Lip Stain in Parisian Passion / Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer / Sleek Blush in Pomegranate / Garnier Skin Moisture Match Goodbye Dry Moisturiser / Barry M Speedy Nail Paint in Pomegranate / Lush Twilight Bath Bomb

What are your Autumn/Winter beauty essentials beaut's? I'd love to know!

Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Ginger Melon | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

You may have seen in my recent Boots Beauty Haul that I finally picked up the gorgeous Revlon Parfumerie Nail Enamel in Ginger Melon. I've had my eye on this collection since it was released because everything about these little polishes lures me in, the packaging is adorable, the shades are stunning not to mention they are all scented, I mean what's not to love! 

The Parfumerie collection consists of 20 shades in a variety of both classic and on-trend colours, with all the shades revealing a light and enticing fragrance, so there's certainly a shade and scent for everyone. The shade I opted for was Ginger Melon, a pinkish/coralish red shade, perfect for the Summer months, I can see it looking super cute on toes too. The formula of Ginger Melon is very much on the thin side, I'd probably go as far as saying it's the thinnest constancy I've ever seen in a nail polish before, despite it's thin formula Ginger Melon is opaque after 2 coats and drys super quick, by the time I've painted one hand, then painted the next, my first hand is dry for me to apply my second coat. As for application... I find it rather odd, it looks extremely streaky whilst the polish is being applied but dries completely smooth with no bubbling or streaking and your left with a lovely, shiny finish too which is fab. I manged to keep my polish chip free for 3 days, that's with me being at work and doing housework etc so the lasting power isn't too bad nor really impressive with these.

As for the 'Scented' element of the polish... I must admit to begin with I thought this was going to be a major let down scent wise, as soon as I opened the bottle I took a massive whiff and all I could smell was your typical nail polish scent, then after reading the small print on the back of the bottle I noticed that it read 'Fragranced when dry', woahh thank goodness ha ha! It was literally like magic, as soon as my nails where dry I could smell a tropical scent with hints of honeydew melon coming through, it's delicious! As the polish is called 'Ginger Melon' I did expect it to be slightly on the spicy side, but no, there is not a hint of ginger or spice at all, which I'm quite thankful for to be honest as I'm quite happy with its tropical fruity scent. The scent lasted on my nails the whole duration I had it on (3 days) which was pleasantly surprising as I thought once I had washed my hands a few times it would wear off but it didn't, it's not an overly strong scent but I could definitely smell it when laying in bed, when doing my makeup and even when I was in the car my father in law said he could smell it, so scent wise this certainly gets a massive thumbs up from me.

Now onto the packaging, arrhh I love it! The polish comes in vintage looking, perfume style glass bottle's which hold 11.7ml's worth of polish and is finished off with a cute, rounded plastic lid, I mean just how beautiful would these polishes look on display on a dressing table. The brush for the Parfumerie polishes is actually really tiny, the smallest brush I've used from a nail polish that's for sure but it does the job and isn't fiddly at all.

Overall I absolutely love these little polishes, I do think they are on the slightly pricey side being £6.49 a pop, but then again I guess when you take into consideration the scented element and cute bottle the price is bound to go up abit.

Have you tried these beautiful little polsihes girlie's?? What shade or scent is your favourite?? I'd love to know.

Boots Beauty Haul ♥

Hey beaut's!

I recently made a cheeky little online Boot's order because not only is their fabulous 3 for 2 offer still on across all makeup lines but I managed to get another brilliant little deal that was too good to miss which I'll tell you more about below...  

Rimmel 'Kate' Rockin Curves Mascara £7.99 + Some Fabulous Freebies!

I dont know if you beaut's are aware but Boots online do a cool concept of waiting lists on most new makeup releases. By simply popping your name and email address down on the waiting list it ensures your'll get an email when your desired makeup product has been released and beacuse you where on the waiting list you can get some pretty cool perks like free gifts and money off voucher codes, whats not to love ha ha! When I saw Rimmel where releasing a 'Kate' version of their Rockin Curves mascara I knew I'd have to have it so I popped my name down and received an email when the mascara was released on the 30th April. The email included a voucher code that entitled the first 180 people on the waiting list 4 FREE Kate Moss goodies when you purchased the mascara, so of course I popped the mascara straight into my basket and added the voucher code and as if by magic it added my 4 free gifts into my basket, woohoo! 

The 4 freebies I got are the Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 33 worth £5.49, Salon Pro by Kate Nail Polish in Goddess worth £4.49 , Eyeshadow Stick by Kate in Rose Gold worth £4.49 and the Waterproof Gel Eyeliner by Kate in Emerald worth £6.99. I'm over the moon with all of these goodie's and the lipstick and the eyeshadow stick in particular are stunning!

Revlon Parfumerie in Ginger Melon £6.99

Ive been lusting after these little nail polishes for soooo long, they just look so cute in the packaging, their are so many colours to choose from and the fact that they are all scented intrigues me even more ha ha. I literally cant wait to pop this little beauty on my nails, it's such a perfect Spring/Summer shade too isn't it!

Seventeen Cheek Stamp Blush in Blushing £4.99 (My 3 for 2 freebie)

I was tempted to buy a Seventeen Cheek Stamp a while back but I wasn't sure about the whole 'stamp' aspect of it, however curiosity caught me and I just had to buy it. I saw this particular shade 'Blushing' used in a makeup tutorial on Youtube a while back and it just looked so pretty and perfect for the time of year, I'll be doing a full review for you all on this blush soon beaut's.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub £8.00

This was a trusty repurchase of an old Soap & Glory favourite of mine as I just recently ran out of my Sugar Crush Scrub, so of course I had to replace it immediately with another delicious smelling scrub from Soap & Glory. Arrrhhh I'm going to hop, skip and jump to the shower now as I cant resist not using this any longer ha ha.

So that's my little Boots beauty haul for you all, I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and do let me know if you picked up the Rimmel 'Kate' Mascara whilst the fabulous freebie offer was on or if you've picked up any makeup products recently that I need to try do let me know he he!  

Weekly Beauty Favourites #1

Hey beaut's!!!

Today I thought I'd do something a little different, I always do my monthly beauty favourites but I thought every now and again I could switch things up and do a weekly favourites post, just when there are stand out products that I've loved using throughout that particular week. Do let me know if you like the idea beaut's, is it a yay or nay ha ha!

Anyway onto this weeks delights...

Sleek Garden of Eden Palette

   Ive been using this stunning palette everyday this week as it's perfect for Springtime wear,  the shades eve's kiss, paradise on earth, forbidden and flora are my most worn shades this week.. Ohh they're so pretty!!! I think the Garden of Eden Palette is such a lovely take on neutrals palette and the combination of the earthy browns, dusky purples and the organic greens work so well together. As with all of the Sleek i-Divine Palette's I've tried the quality is amazing and the eye shadows last on my oily eyelids all day without a primer which is just fantastic! You can read my full review and see my swatches of the shades HERE.

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Lips in Vega

I only bought this little beauty just over a week ago but I've been wearing it every day since, its just so pretty and I love the formula. I picked up the shade Vega, as it's a summery version of a vampy red lip and you know how much I loved my vampy red lips during the Autumn/Winter so it's nice to have a cooled down version for Summer...ohhh its just so lovely. I'll have a full review coming soon so keep those eyes peeled beaut's he he.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Garnier's offering of the popular Micellar Water is a firm favourite for most of us beauty bloggers and I have certainly become addicted to the stuff, so much so that I have another bottle sitting in my cupboard ready for when my current bottle runs out, even though I'm not even half way through yet he he, oh well it's always good to be prepared! The solution itself is so soft and gentle and just dissolves all my makeup and the days dirt instantly without the need to rub at my face or be rough on my eyes. I've notice after use it leaves my skin so refreshed, lovely and soft and it isn't drying in the slightest either. If you'd like to know abit more about this little beauty you can check out my full review and pictures HERE.

Poundland Bargain Nail Polishes

Recently I've been finding some amazing beauty bargains in Poundland and in particular I've been loving these gorgeous sparkly Revlon nail varnishes that I picked up. The Blue is called 'Midnight Sparkle' and is an opaque blue polish crammed full of different sized sparkles, it just reminds me so much the sea when your on holiday when the sun makes it glisten, its so pretty. The Purple is called 'Brilliant Bordeaux' which has loads of purple and silver holographic glitters suspended within a clear polish, which I've been loving for an accent top coat over a pastel pink/pastel lilac nail he he. You can really get some amazing things in Poundland if go in at the right time, I've seen and bought brands such as OPI, Dainty Doll, L'Oreal, Calvin Klein, Collection, Rimmel, Sinful Colors and many more so its definitely worth a look around.

Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' Bubbly Shower Gel

I have been obsessed with Marc Jacob's 'Daisy' scent recently and this week I've been using up the remaining bubbly shower gel that I got within the Daisy Gift Set. I find it works so well with the Daisy perfume and enhances the scent and lasting power dramatically, not to mention it's the perfect scent to accompany the springtime season. The Bubbly Shower Gel also feels like such a luxurious treat, as the name would suggest it lathers up loads and makes your skin feel super soft, moisturised and refreshed.

What have you been enjoying this week beauty wise? I'd love to know!

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation | Review

Hey beaut's!!!

 I have spent months picking up the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Superdrug and then putting it back down again but recently I finally caved in and treated myself. Don't get me wrong I love my Rimmel foundations and I repurchase them all the time but I always hear such good things about Revlon foundations in general that I just knew I couldn't fight temptation anymore. 

Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation has a light-diffusing formula which claims to give you a complete yet virtually undetectable coverage, while also preventing sun damage with it's added SPF 20. The professionally designed formula has been tested under the harshest of lights and high-definition camera lens, resulting in the appearance of flawless skin whether your under indoor fluorescent lighting or full outdoor sunlight. It's also oil-free and fragrance free, well I was completely sold!

Revlon PhotoReady is available in 8 shades from Vanilla, which is the lightest shade to Cappuccino, which is the darkest shade. I opted for Shell which I have to say is pretty much a perfect match for my skin tone at the moment. The PhotoReady foundation comes packaged in a glass bottle which holds 30ml's of foundation and has a plastic pump dispenser, which I always prefer as it's easy to use, cleaner and you don't end up with much wastage which is always a bonus.

 So what did I think of Revlon's PhotoReady offering... Firstly the foundation has a rather thin consistency which straight away I liked, I find thicker foundations always tend to be quite cakey so this was a good sign from my very first pump. I was super impressed with how beautifully PhotoReady blended onto my skin, I switch between my Real Techniques Buffing Brush and my Nanshy Buffer Brush and both brushes apply the foundation flawlessly and spread very quickly covering my face within seconds without clinging to or exposing any of my dry patches that I'm prone to getting which I think is fab. In terms of coverage, I'd say PhotoReady provides a medium but buildable coverage, you could quite easily get full coverage results from this foundation yet it feels so lightweight. The finish of this foundation I'd say is semi-matte, it also  contain light reflecting shimmers that give you a slightly dewy, soft luminous glow which I love, however if your not a fan of foundations that contain slight shimmer you'll definitely want to give PhotoReady a swerve, it also makes my skin look and feel super fresh and healthy.

As for photo taking which I'd say is this foundations biggest selling point... I do think that PhotoReady is an ok foundation for photography but not the best, after taking pictures myself and obviously a tonne of selfie's (as you do ha ha) my skin does look super flawless, with no ghostly flashback but that's only when the light isn't too bright, I do find that in certain lights the light reflecting shimmers do bounce back the flash of the camera creating a white cast on my face, so I would say it's 'PhotoReady' claim can be abit hit and miss depending on your environment.

Overall I do really like PhotoReady, I think it's great if your looking for a foundation to give you flawless/airbrushed looking skin with great coverage that isn't cakey or heavy in the slightest, it's also very easy to use, apply and blend, it hasn't broke me out or dried my skin out further and for picture taking during the daytime I've found it makes my skin look perfect. However I do have 2 downsides to this foundation, the first being that it didn't live up to it's PhotoReady claim when taking photos in ANY light and the second being it's price of £12.99, which I think is pretty expensive for a drugstore foundation so I'm not sure if PhotoReady would be something I'd repurchase often.

Have you tried Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation?? What did you think beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Recent Make-Up and Beauty Buys ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

Today I thought I'd do abit of a collective haul of the makeup and beauty goodies I've bought over the last couple of weeks. I will probably be doing reviews on most of the goodies in this haul, once I've used everything abit more as some bits I've had longer than others.

Anyway onto the little treats I picked up....

Sleek Makeup Garden of Eden Eyeshadow Palette £7.99

You cant beat a good ole Sleek eyeshadow palette can you, they are the only high street eyeshadow palette's I really LOVE to be honest and when I heard Sleek had released 'Garden of Eden' for Spring it went straight onto my wish list and then straight into my basket the minute I saw it ha ha. The colours in the palette are beautiful, earthy and most importantly easy to work with.  

MUA Pressed Powder in Shade 3 £1.00

I've always wondered how MUA's little £1.00 pressed powders would fair against the rest so I finally picked one up to try in shade 3. So far, so good and for just £1.00 you really cant go too wrong can you.

Revlon Photoready Foundation in 003 Shell £12.99

I've been picking this foundation up and then putting it back down in Superdrug for months but I finally caved! I love my Rimmel foundations which I always repurchase but I hear such good things about Revlon foundations that I just knew I couldn't fight temptation anymore. I opted for Photoready because it has such pretty light reflecting particles in that make your skin look radiant and dewy which I love and the colour match to my skin was perfect. Look out for a full review coming soon.

Barry M Aquarium Nail Paint's in Mediterranean and Treasure Chest £3.99 each or 2 for £6.00

Barry M Nail Paints are a firm favourite of mine and whenever a new collection is released I just have to get my mitts on them to try. The Aquarium collection is great fun and if you love metallic, duo chrome or foil effect polishes you'll love these, the shades are based on all things aquatic and beachy so if your not a fan of the traditional pastel nail for Spring these could be a great alternative. My review on Mediterranean and Treasure Chest is coming very soon.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencil NAKED 3 £12.00

After hearing such good things about these Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencils from a friend I knew it wouldn't be long before I had to have one and in the end my lovely boyfriend kindly  treated me to one. I opted for the NAKED 3 double ended pencil which comes with Darkside on one end and Blackheart on the other which match up with the shades in the NAKED 3 Palette.

MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation Sample *FREE*

Whilst in my local MAC store I asked if I could be colour matched for their foundations as believe it or not Ive never tried or owned any of MAC's foundations. I explained that I have dry skin, I like a dewy finish and that I like nothing too heavy, so the lovely lady matched me up and then popped some of the Mineralize Moisture Foundation in NC15 onto my skin. I was kindly given a sample to take home and try, so far I'm not too convinced on the foundation itself but the colour match is great!

MAC Brush Cleanser £10.00

Another treat from my boyfriend he he, serious boyfriend points over here!!! I've never actually owned a brush cleaner that's great for spot cleaning my makeup brushes and having to deep clean my brushes all the time was becoming a chore, but now all my prayers have been answered thanks to this MAC brush cleanser, it makes my life so much easier and cleans up my brushes a treat.

Simple Kind To Skin Light Moisturiser £3.32

This was just a standard repurchase for me, however I've switched things up and went for the light moisturiser instead of the rich moisturiser, just because now the weather is changing slightly and hopefully it will be getting warmer soon so I'd prefer something that little bit more lightweight.

Simple Kind To Eyes Soothing Eye Balm £2.66

And lastly the Simple eye balm... Ive never used an eye cream/balm before, so I thought it was about time I started, as I really should look after my delicate eye area and so far I'm loving this little beauty.

So that's my little collective haul of all my recent makeup and beauty buys for beaut's, I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and do let me know if you've picked up any of the goodies I purchased too.

High Street Beauty Wishlist

Hey girlie's

Today I've put together a little 'High Street Beauty Wishlist' as I'm seriously craving some high street makeup goodies at the moment, however there is a little girlie shopping trip planned in the middle of March that I'm excited for, so I thought it would be fun to put this wish list together and see how many items I end up getting on my shopping trip!

1. MUA Fixing Spray £5.00
I have been after this fixing spray by MUA for ages... My Superdrug is constantly sold out of this little beauty, which to me says its very popular and I've heard its well loved too. It's also meant to be a fantastic dupe of Urban Decays All Nighter Spray which costs £20.00, I'd rather save some pennies and give this a go I think he he.

2. Sleek Garden of Eden Palette £7.99
Sleeks latest I-Divine Palette release really doesn't disappoint does it! The Garden of Eden palette is full of stunning earthy, natural shades which I love the look of, I seriously need this palette in my life.

3. MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder £3.00
Again, another MUA treasure that I can never get in my local Superdrug as it's always sold out but I'm determined to get this gorgeous, well loved highlighting powder when I go out of town on my shopping trip, it looks seriously stunning!

4.Revlon Photo Ready Foundation £12.99
I've been umming and arhing over whether to give this foundation a go for so long and I think its finally time I just bought it! I love the fact that it claims to have great coverage whilst still giving you a luminous finish and the fact its great to use when taking photo's and wont flash back is fab!

5. L'oreal Lumi Magique Highlighter Pen £8.49
Arhhh the YSL Touche Eclat dupe! This highlighter pen from L'oreal looks a seriously stunning product and the rose gold packaging looks so expensive too. I must admit they're aren't many products I lust over when it comes to L'oreal, but this highlighter pen I need!!!

6. L'oreal Collection Privée Cheryl in Greige Glow £8.19
The collection privée line has been created for us girlie's to achieve the perfect nude lip for each and every skin tone, and this cheeky offering from Cheryl Cole certainly looks like the most gorgeous nude lip shade and of course as I love Cheryl its only fair I buy hers first ha ha.

7. Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin Curves Mascara £6.99
Now a makeup wish list of mine wouldn't be complete without a mascara, and as you girlie's know I LOVE me some mascara's ha ha. I love Rimmel as a brand so I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on their latest mascara release. The Rockin Curves Mascara certainly sounds amazing and the wand also look quite spectacular too.

And their you have it girlie's, these are the current goodies I'm lusting after at the moment, I must admit the high street makeup brands don't half bring out some amazing, beautiful things don't they?

I'd love to know if any of you beaut's have tried any of the makeup goodies I'm after, and whether you think they're must buys or not!
