P.S. LOVE | New Primark Beauty Range.

When it comes to make up i'm very high maintenance and love spending money on the likes of MAC, Benefit and Chanel. So, when Primark released their new beauty range I was very intrigued as already I was seeing a lot of positive reviews from other beauty gurus and bloggers! I picked up a collection on which I'd use, sadly though I couldn't get my hands on the day and night eye palettes and I'll be waiting a while to try and get my hands on them as I don't live near a Primark! Maybe next time though! These products are price ranged between £1 to £1.50.. bargain! Here are a few of the bits I received and my views on them.

 These Lip Stains are gorgeous! I'm always nervous about using lip stains in case i can't get the colour of my lips as i'm not allowed to wear bright lip colours to work. So, i test them out at weekends and i adore them! I team the red lip stain up with the red lip gloss i got which i've reviewed down below, and i team the pink lip stain up with my pink lip gloss from smashbox! If you want a long lasting colour then definitely try out lip stains they are completely worth the money.

I don't tend to wear lip gloss that much but this looked a gorgeous shade of dark red so i thought I'd give it a go! I only wear this when I have my red lip stain on as without I feel like this falls off my lips a lot quicker, but after all it is lip gloss and I'm more of a lipstick kind of girl!

When it comes to eye liners I must own at least, about 20! I'm obsessed and can't leave the house without wearing it! So adding these two black eye liners to my collection and getting a pencil sharpener with it was luck as i lost my pencil sharpener for my eye liners! It applies easy to my water line and it lasts for hours, i do have to apply it at least twice a day! 

Volumising mascara is my best friend, I have quite short eye lashes and also having blonde eye lashes becomes such a problem for me! I can apply as much mascara as I like but still some lashes peak through! So trying this mascara for a £1 i was pretty sure the results were going to be a nightmare . Boy, was I wrong! This leaves my eyes looking fabulous and covers ever single eye lash, my only moan is that I wish it was a waterproof volumising mascara, but that's the reason why i bought the waterproof mascara.

I'm loving this. I love the thick applicator and I coat this on after I put on the volumising mascara, above. This is a little beauty in my eyes.

Any other Primark beauty products which you recommend?

Winter Lipcare | My Must Have Essentials!

I don't know about you but at this time of year my lips get very chapped and dry which causes me to be in a lot of pain! If you're lucky enough to live somewhere hot you might not get this often but for us UK lot it is a daily hassle for us! 

My three lip essentials, Baby lips and Vaseline are cheap and simple but do my lips the world of good! 

Intense Care (yellow) and Hydrate (blue) are the two baby lips i tend to use as they are just more suited for winter and for damaged lips. My Vaseline was limited edition, it's pink bubbly and tastes a little bit like champagne which i am not complaining about! All Vaseline does do the same job so you can choose which ever one you like! They both sooth the lips and make them feel hydrated in no time! 

Baby lips cost me £2.99 and Vaseline costs me £3.49 as it was limited edition, but they usually cost £1.99 from all highstreet stores! 

Lastly, Blogmas didn't exactly work! I've been ill and i've been starting work at 4 and 6 in the morning and with being busy on top of that, it got too much! So going to stick to just my 3 days a week blog! Sorry about that!

Rimmel apocalips

I recently bought rimmel apocalips in the colour 'Luna' as I seen it in a video by my favourite youtuber 'zoella' and love the look of it!

Apocalips by rimmel is a lip liqueur and is basically a lipgloss and lipstick in one! It's very pigmented and last me ages! The colour I bought, Luna, is pink/orange and will only suit certain skin types, so make sure you do a tester before you apply as I wouldn't want you wasting your money on lip products that you don't like, as I have done it before and immediately regretted it! 

This product cost me, £5.99 but at the moment on superdrug they are doing a 2 for £10 offer, so get them whilst it last! You can also buy them in boots and no doubt any other drug store! I'd love to hear your opinions of this product!

Rimmel 'scandal eyes'.

Rimmel scandal eyes, is a eye shadow stick/eye pencil and is around about £4.49 from superdrug and boots! There are two types of this stick, a eye kohl pencel or the thicker shadow stick which I purchased!

My best friend left hers at mine one day and I was intreged about it as I'd never seen it before and I was running out of pencil eye liner! So I wandered into superdrug and bought it and have been using it for about 1 month now and I like it! If your into making your eyes darker then this is the pencil for you! It goes on quite thick and smoothly along your waterline or eye lid! The only problem I am having with it is that it smudges a wee bit but that's because I'm not used to putting on such a thick eye liner on my water line yet, I am debating going out to buy the kohl pencel and using the thicker  stick as a more eye lid base product! I will do photos of my eyes as well if to want to see the finishing product! Let me know in the comments below!

Maybelline gel eyeliner.

Today I will be writing about maybelline's gel eyeliner that I bought on superdrug for £7.99! (Photo below)  If you are like me and wear liquid eyeliner most days you know it can be a bit of a chore and time consuming to make it neat and perfect! I must admit I usually rush around last minute, shove it on and then go out leaving the house hating the way my eyes look!

I had walked pasted the maybelline gel eyeliner for weeks debating if I should get it or not as it looked tricky to apply as is just a eyeliner brush and a pot filled with the gel! I gave in though and gave it a bash and its one of the best decisions I have made! It's actually so easy to apply and makes your eyes look amazing as you can apply it either thick or lightly and still shows amazing results! The only problem for me as it stays on better when I apply primer to my eyelids but primer is such a good buy I'd definitely buy some if I were you! If I want the gel to stay on longer though I add a little bit of liquid over it just to be safer instead of reapplying throughout the day when I don't have time!

If you want me to do a tutorial on how to apply it let me know in the comments below and I will do one for you!

Maybelline 'the falsies' mascara review.

I am a huge fan of YouTube and one of my favourite youtubers is, Tanya Burr. Watching her videos one day I came across a make up tutorial and she was using maybelline 'the falsies' mascara. I had walked pasted it so many times in superdrug and boots but never bought it as I thought it would be just another overrated mascara that is a little pricey for me to splash out on and never use!

I used to use rimmel volumise mascara and then I moved to benefit as I got a free tester (one of my blog reviews) but I got bored and my tester was running out! I watched this video and I couldn't believe the huge difference that one little bottle of mascara could make to somebody's eyelashes, it was incredible! I went out straight away and bought it for £7.99 (roughly) from superdrug. (Ill post a photo below). The bottling of this product is so pretty, it's purple with a gorgeous wee lace design on the lid and big bold writing to make the bottle pop and stand out!

The mascara basically does what it says on the bottle! It makes you look like you have fake eyelashes on! I'm not a fan of fake eyelashes as I can't apply them so this was the perfect opurtunity to see if I suited thicker and more volumised eyelashes! And I did, I can't change to any other mascara now as I can't live without it! It's so handy and when I'm lazy and can't be bothered applying a lot of make up this just makes up for it and looks amazing! I hope you guys can go out and buy this and share my complete joy of this product! Do you have it? Tell me what you think!

Mua makeup.

I recently bought some Mua makeup as its one of the cheapest I could find in my local super drug and can't afford at the moment to splash out on £20 makeup.

Being cheap you can't always tell if its going to be good or not so I took the risk and bought three products from the mua range! I now know I am going to think twice now on splashing out on mac makeup and other expensive ranges as this works better than most of them!

I bought the mua eye pallet, mua nail beads and a red/orange lipstick. (Photos below)

Eye pallet: This eye pallet cost me £4 which I thought was a great bargain, i tend to suit darker eye shadows so this pallet worked out great for me! It had darker eye shadows and a few lighter ones i wouldn't tend to use and found out that I actually suit them better than most dark shades! There's a few different bronze shades which I adore and can't stop using at the moment and also have been asked a few times where I got my make up from!its unbelievable that when I wore expensive make up i never got asked but now I'm wearing a tad cheaper make up i got asked straight up!

Nail beads: I was worried at first when I bought these! I think they were around £2/£3. I have had nail beads in the past and they have fallen off after a few hours and felt like I had wasted more money on things I had to get rid of! But these beads are unbelievable! You put one coat (or two if to prefer) of nail polish on your nails and apply the beads straight on, if your nails start to dry they won't stay on the same then hold done on your nail I'd say for about 20 seconds then realise! I added a matte coat over the beads which was a good and bad idea as the beads would not come off my nails at all but at least they stayed on right!? Maybe even add a clear coat of nail varnish over the top and that will make them stay on for sure!

Lipstick: I don't wear lipstick like, ever! But I always end up buying it as I tend to go to strange dress up parties or wake up one day in the mood to wear it! I'm still not sure about the shade I bought but the lipstick does stay in and it applies nicely! I think next time I will get a lighter shade and I will like them better! Oh and did i mention.. They are only £1! YES, £1 for lipstick, amazing right!?

Superdrug: sale products

So yesterday i bought sale items in superdrug and i thought i'd share them with you. They have an awesome sale on atm, so you should definitely check it out!

1. Colour unlimited: I bought this make up box to try out, i have tested it and it's turned out really good, it's not that expensive but not always the best make up is! In the set you get, an eye shadow pallet with greys and blacks, blusher and bronzer, two lip glosses - one light pink and one dark pink, glitter liquid eye liner and two dark glittery nail varnish. You do get different colour box sets but i suit darker colours better than light.

2. Tommy Hilfiger - LOUD: This perfume i love, it was orginally £19.99 but i got it for £4 which i thought was a great bargain. I love the smell of it but different people like different stuff, so i might not be your type of perfume.

3. Gosh crayon eyeliner: I loved this from the moment i tested it. I got it for £2 when originally  it was £4.99. I prefer crayon eye liner to pencil as i feel that pencil can sometimes be tough on your eyes and it goes on very thick, but with this it goes on smoothly and neatly, which i love.
