My Top 5 Makeup Setting/Priming Sprays!

Hey beaut's!

Makeup setting sprays and priming sprays are huge these days and I for one am a total addict of them, priming sprays always make such a different in how my foundation looks on my skin and setting sprays... well they just keep everything set and in place, no melting clown faces to see here beaut's he he! 

I'd say MAC's Fix + and Technic's Primer Spray are both my favourites for refreshing and priming my skin, and to be honest despite the price difference they both work in more or less the same way. Before I apply my foundation or concealer I literally drench my face in either of these beauties and then I go straight in with my foundation and concealer whilst my face is still wet with the priming sprays, this does something magical as I'm blending everything in and the overall finish of my base makeup is lovely, so lightweight, smooth and dewy, I love it. Both of these priming sprays can really transform your eye shadows and highlighters into well pigmented, gleaming gorgeousness too, just spritz your makeup brush and your well away!
As for setting sprays theres one clear, affordable winner for me and that's the Barry M Mist & Fix Dewy Finish Setting Spray quickly followed by Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting SprayThese two are extremely similar to each other and practically work the same way although, I would say Urban Decay's offering does keep my makeup in place a tiny bit longer than Barry M's Mist & Fix but I'd say Barry M have a great dupe here and for a fraction of the price, plus I love the fact Barry M have the option for a Dewy finish setting spray or a Matte one, you don't see that very often. Finally I adore Rimmel's #Insta Fix & Go, this is a two for the price of one kind of product, not only does it set and lock in your makeup but it can be used to prime the skin too, you cant beat getting two products in one can you! Not only is Rimmel's offering really good for the price but it gets the award for best smelling making spray in my opinion, on my goodness it has the most amazing refreshing cucumber scent which is so lovely and something you don't find in most makeup setting sprays do you. I'd definitely say all three of these sprays keep my makeup in place a good 7+ hours without any fading, caking or melting and none of them dry my skin out at all and they keep me looking fresh, dewy and radiant which I love.

Honestly beaut's if you haven't tried any of these makeup setting/priming sprays then now is the time to take yourself too Boots or Superdrug or place a cheeky online order and treat yourself to a couple to try, you wont regret it trust me!

Top 5 Makeup Products Under £5!

Hey beaut's!

When it comes to make up I'm a real bargain hunter, of course I love fancy high end make up but my purse certainly doesn't he he, so I love it when I find absolute gems in the drugstore that are not only affordable but amazing in quality too. So today I thought I would share with you all my top five make up items that are all under £5.00, some I have even repurchased over and over!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair £4.19
The Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer is hands down the best concealer I've ever tried from the high street, I even prefer it to some of the higher end concealers I own and I kid you not I've probably repurchased this concealer 10+ times over the years, I even use to buy it when Collection where called Collection 2000, I love it that much! It just has the most gorgeous creamy texture that blends beautifully and provides a medium to full coverage without looking cakey, it covers my blemishes, redness and dark under eye circles with ease and lasts all day without needing any touch ups, in a word its 'brillaint'!

Barry M Lip Liner in #15 Rose £2.99
As far as lip liners go I think Barry M have an amazing collection, theres lots of gorgeous shades to choose from and the formula is lovely, they are velvety soft to apply whilst still being firm enough to create precise lines and the texture once on the lips is stunning.

Miss Sporty Studio Lash The Miaoww Eye Liner £2.99
Like the Collection concealer the Miss Sporty Studio Lash The Miaoww Eye Liner is my all time favourite liquid liner and it came at a bit of a surprise to me to be honest, I picked it up on a total whim last year purely because it was only £2.99 and I loved the shape of it's nib, but Miss Sporty was a brand I never really bought anything from so I wasn't expecting much if I'm honest. However its absolutely amazing and one of the best high street liquid liners I've ever used, it's just so easy to apply and so precise and the formula is so inky black and long lasting. If your into liquid liner or even if your a newbie to liquid liner you definitely have to try this bad boy out!   

Collection #BlushAndGlow Palette £4.99
The Collection #BlushAndGlow Palette is just so convenient and never leaves my makeup bag, it contains a matte bronzer, a matte pink blusher, a shimmering pink blusher and a neutral highlighter all of which work amazingly well and blend out beautifully. I must admit I only really use the bronzer and the shimmery blush all the time but the fact this palette is only £4.99, has four colour options to play with and the quality is so good I think its incredible.

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipstick in Chauffeur £3.00
Lastly but in no means least is the Makeup Revolution Chauffeur Lipstick from their Rose Gold Collection, this is literally the perfect shade of nude for me and I must say it's the only nude lipstick that I've EVER really really liked that doesn't wash me out! The formulation of these rose gold lipsticks is amazing too, I have the collection and they are all super pigmented, long lasting and have a lovely satin finish which is my favourite, for £3.00 you certainly cant go wrong!

What are your favourite high street makeup products under £5.00 beaut's? I'd love to know!
