January Favourites '14

How are we already in February?! I still remember getting excited about Christmas. Why does time fly so fast! So let's get started on my monthly favourites.

First on the list is Foundation. L'Oreal's Eau De Teint is amazing. That velvet-y feel on the skin just makes me want to apply layers upon layers. It's lightweight, leaves a powder finish and has a SPF 18. It gives such a flawless finish. I have been wearing this every day to university and I don't think I want to try any other foundations until this one finishes right to the end. 

This lovely potion in a bottle, retails for £9.99 in Superdrug. 

BABY SKIN. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW KNOW. (Know the song?)

So Maybelline's Baby Skin isn't a primer like POREfessional. This is mostly a silicone primer which smudges your pore's away. I haven't found an absolute difference between not using this primer and using it. Although I have noticed that my foundation does glide on better and blends in quicker, which is a plus for me as I don't have time to keep on blending. 

Still worth it as it's only £7.99.

Get rid of them wrinkles. Eye Creams/Gel are a must in any girl's makeup bag. It helps when you're concealing the eyes and leaves a smooth finish. The Body Shop's eye cream is unperfumed, lightweight and de-puffs those eyes from a night out on the town. Retails for £7.00. A little steep for a basic eye gel but does the job well.

Flutter them lashes with Revlon's Lash Potion. I prefer the plastic wand when applying mascara, like the Maybelline's Rocket, but this is amazing for a bristle wand. The non-waterproof holds my lashes in place and there is no fall out whatsoever which is normally a big problem for me. I actually bought this for £5 as it was on offer after Christmas. But it's usually £9.99.

And last but not least, PERFUME! Oh and not any kind, oh no no no, it's the Katy Perry Killer Queen. Ever since buying this, it's been my scent every single day. It's sweet and mature at the same time much more mature than her first ever perfume Purr. The only thing I don't like about it is that I thought there would be some sort of holder for the perfume, just because it just lies on the table and get's in the way. Apart from that it is AMAZINGGG. Usually retails for £29.00 for the 50ml, but it's sometimes on offer in Boots so always be on the lookout.

What's been you're January Favourites and what are you looking forward too?

Review -Maybelline 24Hr Colour Tattoo

I know I'm a bit late but I recently got these three amazing eye shadow's from the Maybelline Colour Tattoo range. I got them in the shade 'On and On Bronze', 'Pomegranate' and 'Permanent Taupe'. They were also on a 3 for 2 deal in Boots. Individually they are £4.99. 

 

I actually bought these shades is because they can easily be worn everyday. The On and On Bronze can be used as an inner eye highlight, the Pomegranate as a base shade and the Permanent Taupe as a blending shade. A good autumnal night out look. 

The colour pay off is actually amazing. Very creamy and full of colour. Apparently they are also a good dupe for the MAC Paint Pots. Affordable and amazing. 

As you can see, in photo's the colour is still vibrant and doesn't get lost. I don't know how more highly I can talk about it haa. Let me know what colour you've tried and recommend, I think I need to get the Eternal gold as this can be another alternative highlight for the eyes.

Review - Maybelline Baby Lips

I know I haven't been blogging a lot, it's due to the start of my new course at university. So bear with me if I don't post for a while. Let's get back to the post ...

So I went to Superdrug guys. I know, it's a weakness. So yeah, I went to Superdug and got myself two more Baby Lips. YAY. They are the softest and smoothest lipbalm that I have ever used. I've been using the Intense Care for a while now and it's almost running out. I've noticed such a different in the softness of my lips when using the Intense Care. 

Cherry Me and Peach Kiss are the new additions to my life. Both are so moisturising and they both have slight tints to the lip. I don't know what else to say apart from them being so amazing! Get them now. You're missing out if you don't. Throw away the Vaseline and by yourself some Baby Lips.
