March, April & May Favourites

So, it has been a while since I did a favourites post so this is a collection of the past three months worth of products. Enjoy :)

Illamasqua Eyeshadow in Jules My only matte eyeshadow that works great in the crease

DiorShow Mascara Slightly strange smell but really helps to open the eyes and add length to lashes

Revlon ColourStay Foundation Great coverage and a lovely dewy finish, but be careful it can look a little greasy

Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Foundation Probably my all time favourite!

Barry M Nail Paint in White Goes amazingly with a tan

Illamasqua Eyeshadow in Tango Reminds me a lot of a classic Olsen eye when it is smoked out

Calvin Klein Highlighter Pen Really brightens the eye area

Stila Kajal Eye Liner in Topaz at first I didn't like it but on the waterline I think it really makes a difference

Neal's Yard Remedies Eye Liner in Black Smokes out beautifully, and I think it was a freebie in a magazine

Mac Studio Finish Concealer This will forever be in my favourites, the coverage is flawless

Soap & Glory Hand Food Perfect after work when my hands feel really dry

Clearasil Ultra Overnight Lotion I think this really has helped to clear up my skin recently

Superdrug Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream Amazing tapped along the cheekbones

Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Scrub Seriously cannot rave about this enough. I have really dry skin but this removes it all and makes my face feel and look super smooth

Maybelline Dream Sun Glow Instant Bronzing Perfect for an instant tan that you only want for one night

Soap & Glory Righteous Butter Always a favourite!

A Few Bits & Pieces

These are just a few bits and pieces that i have picked up over the past few weeks but haven't had chance to show you all yet.

Illamasqua Eyeshadow in Tango

This has been on my wishlist for ages now so i was really happy to see it reduced to £9.00 on the ASOS sale. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful eye shadows I own and I've been wearing it loads lately. I think Illamasqua is a brand i really need to look into more because out of the two products I own, they are both amazing!

Stila Kajal Eye Liner in Topaz

This eye liner has so much hype around it as a perfect alternative to white eye liners as it is suppose to look less harsh. I however really am not a fan. I think it just look really un-natural and i think i prefer white eye liner to make my eyes look bigger and brighter. I do however like the consistency of it so would be interested in looking into other colours.

Avon Nail Wear Pro in Luxe Lavender

Yes, I'm still buying pastel nail polishes. But I have an excuse for this one, it was on sale for half price so only cost me £3 :) I haven't really worn it yet so i can't comment on how much I like it, but the colours is beautiful and I always love the consistency of Avon polishes.

2009: The best and worst

For me, 2009 had been the year of make-up. In 2008 i was just starting to get into it and buying random things from superdrug to try and work out what suited me the best. 2009 has been more about knowing what suits me and trying to find the best quality products. It was also the year i started buying mac :)



This post is basically focused on 2 products. One is the best thing i bought this year. The other is the worst.



The results are:

The Worst = Stila Lipcolor in Laurel.


Beautiful colour. Beautiful Formulation. Beautiful Packaging. The worst tasting lipstick i have ever owned! It makes me feel sick and i cant wear it for more than a minute! It tastes like plastic and it is sooooo gross!



The Best = Mac MSF Natural



Easily the best powder i have ever used. I have always had to set my foundation with a powder and was quite annoyed by this because it usually meant matting out my glow from the foundation. This powder however is mineralized so it has a little big of shimmery glow in it so i can set my make-up and still have the texture i want :)



I want to start this post as a tag. So i tag you :)
