The Over-Excessive Travel Makeup Bag


Like I mentioned in my last post, I am an overpacker. I pack everything to make me feel a little bit more comfortable in new environments. Another thing, I'm a makeup addict. I love it to pieces. So the two of it combined... UH OH.

I understand it's a lot. But I wanted to mention now, that a week after I come home after this holiday. I'm going away again for a week in Sidari, Corfu with my family. So I was thinking all the things I don't really use then, I will take out and then it will be more condensed the second time around. I'll do a post too and let you know!

ANYWAAAAY

Starting with base, this is when the mini versions of products come out. I have two mini Benefit primers, That Gal and Porefessional. Both two of my favourite ever primers. I'm taking two foundations one that is my skin tone now, and another that is too dark. So I thought I'd take it away and get some use out of it. They are the L'Oreal Infallible (which I'll probably finish while I'm out there!) and the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, the old formula. I'm taking two concealers, one that is light for highlighting under the eyes, Seventeen Stay Time, and the other concealing blemishes, the Collection Lasting Perfection. I'm taking the NYX HD Loose Powder and that's the base.



For eyebrows I'm taking my normal eyebrow duo, the Sleek eyebrow stylist and the Benefit Gimme Brow. For eyes, I'm taking a tester of Benefit's Air Patrol, as it has SPF in to protect them. I'm taking a Benefit cream eyeshadow in RSVP, MAC Blue Brown pigment as I take this everywhere with me and lastly my Naked 2 palette. Me and my friend have a deal, she takes the Naked 1, I take the Naked 2. I'm taking the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk from NYX, Urban Decay Perversion and Faint eyeliners.
The mascaras are a mini Rollerlash and Maybelline Lash Sensational, the waterproof formula.

For Face, I'm taking MAC's Soft and Gentle as it looks gorgeous in the sun, Benefit Hoola Bronzer in the mini size as it looks great with a tan. I'm also taking the Seventeen Define and Conquer contour kit because the light shade is perfect for setting the undereyes and the dark shade is great as an eyeshadow. I'm taking NARS Orgasm blush, in a mini and Milani Luminoso blush. Both look phenomenal in the sun. I'm also taking the NYX Wonderstick to trial too! Benefit Watts Up highlighter goes perfect under Soft and Gentle.



This is where I 1000% know I've gone overboard, but I feel like these colours are hard to wear in Wales... I'm just gonna list these.

MAC Cherish
MAC Whirl Liner 
MAC Soar Liner
KIKO Creamy Colour Liner in 315
MAC Morange Lipglass
MAC Please Me Lipstick
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Abu Dhabi
Too Faced lipstick in Stiletto Red
Kiko Gossamer Emotion in 107.


I'm judging myself for taking this much makeup too...

See ya soon!

Skincare Routine

I have never ever had a skincare routine. I know, so bad. But I was always on the hunt for products that would save my skin, and I feel like I've found them.


Morning
I like to use the Ultrabland cleanser from Lush in the morning. I've gone through many of these and I just love it, the smell is a bit meh because it's got a lot of beeswax in it, which actually makes your skin clear up so well. It's a balm consistency which means if you don't have a good flannel it has a tendency to stay on your face! But it does a good job.

I then use my Kind to Skin Protecting Facial Cream from Simple, I've gone through two of these and I love it. It has loads of good things in such as high SPF and UVA protection. It also contains glycerin which keeps your makeup, hence why I love using in the morning before makeup. 

I like to use an eye-cream in the morning too so my undereye concealer doesn't crease as much, and for that I use to the Simple Kind to Eyes cream.


Evening
I like to use my Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm to take my makeup off. You barely need any of it and it just makes your skin feel so clean! Sometimes with the Liz Earle cleanse and polish, I have to do another cleanse to make sure the makeup is off thoroughly, but with this I don't!

I like using serums at night and for that I use the Emma Hardie plumping skin serum. You barely need any of it and it just makes my skin loads so much more healthier when I wake up in the morning! I then either use the Liz Earle Skin Repair moisturizer for combination skin with Benefit Total Moisture on my dry matches. Or, I go lightly with the Liz Earle Superskin moisturizer. I finish off with the Emma Hardie serum for eyes and that's me done! 

Other products I like to use are the Effacular Duo from La Rosche Posay, the Liz Earle cleanse and polish and the Emma Hardie moringa facial exfoliator. I love Lush face masks too!




(Please forgive me for my photography skills, I use my iPhone and I haven't got very good editing skills, lemme know if there are any good editing apps you know!)

The Power of Makeup

A lot of people think that girls wear makeup to impress boys, intimidate others or just to mask themselves. For me, I wear makeup to express myself and be creative. I'm not a creative person, I was crap at art, I can't play any musical instrument and DIYs just aren't me. Makeup is my way of being creative. I started wearing makeup at the age of 18. I didn't wear foundation every day until I was 19. I'm now 20, 21 at the end of the year. My friends in school wore foundation and it looked horrific so I never wore it, despite the fact my skin was aaawwwfffuuulll. YouTube and blogging definitely made me want to wear makeup, I adored watching videos and I just learnt everything from there. My friends that couldn't apply makeup properly, are no longer friends (not because of their makeup haha) and I run into them and I've changed so much. I also love makeup shopping and I feel like makeup is my hobby? Like I get excited to shop makeup, I watch videos on makeup and I write about it!

Uploading these pictures are a big deal for me. As you can see, I haven't got the best skin. At the minute it is super bad, that's due to stress, bad eating and other contributing factors. 





I apologize for the awful lighting and the emoji top. It was 12:23am and I got the last minute inspiration. 
Credit to Nikki Tutorials for the awesome idea, you gurl are a slayerrrrr.

The Best of Beauty 2015: Blush and Bronzer.

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, I'm doing Blush and Bronzer.

Blush
Benefit Rockateur Blush
A beautiful deep rose gold blusher that just looks beautiful all year around. If I need a blush that is going to make me look awake and healthy, I'll go to this, it is pricey but Benefit blushers are in kits and I know this particular blush has its own kit so it's more for your money!
£23.50

Runner Up
Milani Luminoso Blush
I purchased this at the start of the December, but it's just too well loved not to mention it in this post. It looks so subtle on the cheeks, you just look like you have a natural flush to your cheeks. Definitely one of the cult products you have to pick up for yourself!
Milani is hard to get in the UK, but it's $8.49 on the site and that's £5.79!

Bronzer
Benefit Hoola Bronzer
Another Benefit product, I'm sorry! But this one is definitely worth it. For me, it kind of doubles up as Bronzer and Contour powder. When I'm tanned, I just use this as a bronzer to enhance my colour, when I'm pale, I can use this as a contour powder. This has it's own kit "Do the Hoola" and it's also in "Bronze of Champions." I own both and I think they're £26!
£23.50

Seventeen Define and Conquer Kit
I know this is a contour and not a bronzer but this is just the one. It looks gorgeous on light-medium skin tones and the highlight is matte. Matte highlight, can we just take a moment to appreciate that? I never see a matte highlight on the high street! The kit is so cheap for the money and it's entirely worth it.
£5.99

The Best of Beauty 2015: Face and Eye Primer

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, face and eye primer. 

Face Primer
Benefit Porefessional Primer
I have used this for well over a year, and I adore it. I have quite large pores (I don't know why, someone help me please) and this just covers them up. The Nude Magique Blur Cream by L'Oreal does a similar job but this just slays. I'm not sure whether I'll repurchase it once I've finished it, I don't really want to pay that price tag again! 
£24.50

The Runner Up
Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer 
If you read my foundation post, which I really hope you did, then you will have seen that I love the Lasting Finish foundation. This literally feels like a second moisturizer, it glues my foundation to my face and it's just so good!
£6.99 I think!

Eye Primer
Urban Decay Primer Potion in "Eden"
I have all of the Primer Potions because when I had my first two Naked Palettes, they came with testers of them all. Unfortunately, my Smoky Palette didn't! But this one is the best one, it's matte and you literally need about half the amount of this one compared to the original. It's tinted and it's great! Plus, the testers have loads in so i've not actually had to buy the full size of it!
£16 for the full size, and you can get a smaller tube for £10. I just have a sachet!

Runner Up
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original 
Although Eden won the first place, Original is still better than any other primer I've tried. I highly recommend the Urban Decay Primer Potions in general. Glues your eyeshadow to your eyes!
Same price as above.

Stay around for the next post, blush and bronzer!

The Best of Beauty 2015: Mascara and Eyeliner

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, mascara and eyeliner.


Mascara
Benefit Roller Lash
I'm so incredibly picky with mascara. Mascara is one of those things that I will splurge on because I am still searching for the best mascara. However, this comes close. This mascara makes my straight lashes so curly, the curl lasts so long. No clumps and I make it dramatic with the more coats I use.
£19.50

The Runner Up
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
I was really doubtful about this mascara. Everyone loved it, and I was thinking "It can't be that good." I was so wrong, it curls, it lengthens, it does everything I'd ever want it to do. I use the waterproof one which is a bugger to get off. For the price, you can't go wrong for trying it, and people are right. It is good!
£7.99

Eyeliner
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencils 
I have so many shades of these. I got given a kit that has a fair few mini eyeliners in and one large one of the Perversion liner. My favourites shade are Stag and Pervision. Easily blendable and definitely worth the price!
£15.50

The Runner Up
NARS Larger than Life Eyeliner in Via Venito
I got this in the NARS Glossybox (Which I've done a post on!) and it's just a simple black. It's quite an average eyeliner really that's hiiiiighly pigmented!
£19

The Best of Beauty 2015: Powder and Eyebrows

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, powder and eyebrow product. 

Powder


Benefit Hello Flawless
This powder basically feels like a powder foundation. I apply it all over the face and use a little brush to apply it directly onto problem areas. It looks beautiful on the skin and I want to repurchase it, but the price tag definitely puts me off. I'm going to invest in the MAC Studio Fix powder and if it's not as good as this one, I'll stick to this. Baring in mind, the powder has lasted me well over a year! It also has an SPF of 15.
£25.50

The Runner Up
Revlon Photo Ready
I don't have one that magnificently stood out for me but the Revlon Photo Ready would be my next favourite. £11.29

Eyebrows
Sleek Eyebrow Stylist
I have been using this for about a year and a half. It is an absolute favourite of mine, I've repurchased it four times. It has a wax on one side and a spoolie on the other. The spoolie is incredible and I never need a gel to set it. Absolute must!
£5.99

The Runner Up. (It almost won.)
Benefit Gimme Brow
Ahhh the ultimate cult favourite. I love this gel, I use this on its own when I've just had my brows done or with the eyebrow stylist for that bit more va va voom. Mine lasted me a year and I've just repurchased a new one! 
£18.50

Stay tuned for Mascara and Eyeliner next!

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag!

Hello! I'm trying my best to get back into blogging, as I have so many events coming up and I really want to account for them. (Is that the right term.. or?) So to start back, I have the Seven Deadly Sins Beauty tag!

1. GREED: What is your most expensive beauty product? What is your most inexpensive?
Now, I'm a bit tight when it comes to money. I bloody hate spending it! But I think it's my Urban Decay Naked palette, which retails for £38. Thirty eight pound for twelve eyeshadows! But saying that, my parents got it for me. So I think it's my Benefit set with six blushes and a highlighter that come out at christmas, or my Urban Decay Naked on the Run palette!
Inexpensive, easily, the MUA lipsticks for £1. Bargain!

2. WRATH: What products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Liquid blushes. I love the Benefit tints, I have them all! But lordy, they are so hard to blend. I love the colours, I love the idea of it not coming off, but I do not love the fact I can't leave it in one place for more than 0.9 seconds!

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
My MAC lipsticks taste delightful, the vanilla scent is just peeeerfect. Another is the LUSH Bubblegum lip scrub and oh my lord, it's like heaven in a pot.

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
Eyeliner. I don't wear liquid eyeliner as it doesn't suit me in the slightest but any eyeliner is just soooo much hassle. Just the mascara life for me!

5. PRIDE: What product gives you the most confidence?
Foundation, as my skin is bloody damn awful. Or red/dark lipstick, I legit feel like a rebel when I wear MAC's Rebel lipstick.

6. LUST: What product makes you feel more attractive?
Lipstick, I just feel like I can take on the world when I have my lippy on. Also, glowy skin like, whenever I look in the mirror and I look so radiant and healthy, its great! The combination of the two and I actually can take on the world.

7. ENVY: What products would you most like to receive as a gift?
I would loooove another Naked palette, in particular 2. They're just so damn gorgeous! Or I would love a Nars product, like the Sheer Glow foundation or their audacious lip pencils. Ooh, or Zoeva brushes, rose gold is just mhmmm!

I tag all of you to do this tag!

Top 5 Beauty Favourites of 2014

Ooooh, the big one, the yearly favourites!

I feel as though 2014 has been the making of me in terms of beauty wise. Sure, I used a foundation the odd couple of times and I quite liked the mascara that was a fiver. But this year I grew my collection massively, especially in regards to Benefit. Benefit was the first high end brand I wanted to buy from. I would steal my sister's "They're Real" mini mascara whenever I had the chance. Now, I own a hella of a lot from there and I own MAC and Urban Decay. Lipsticks were never a main priority for me, and now I can't stand to be apart from my collection. Without further or do,  let's get into it!

Benefit The Porefessional Primer
I had never even used a primer until this.. how crazy! When I first went to Benefit, the lady put this on me. Of course I'd heard about it and the reviews were crazy, but could it really work? Did it actually make my pores look smaller, my skin smoother? YES! I absolutely love this primer, as a girl with oily skin and a lifeguard on a boiling hot poolside, I feel my makeup stays on a lot more. And I love it!

MAC lipstick in Hue
You know that lipstick that you wondered what you did before you had it? This is mine. This is my go to, everyday, perfect, nude. I thought "Yeah I'll like this" but I didn't expect to be obsessed with it. Which I truly am.

Benefit Coralista Blush
If you had told me at the start of the year, that I was going to buy a blush for £23.50, I probably would've laughed, hit you, and told you to jog on. But yes, I took the plunge and bought the beautiful box. It's without a doubt the nicest blusher I have ever used, it even has a nice smell. It looks so natural but so effortlessly gorgeous at the same time. Aaah, i just love it!

L'oreal Collection Exclusive Lipstick in Blake's Red
This year, I went out and reached for a red lipstick. Every girl needs one in her lipstick collection, I don't care what you say. I had MUA's Shade 1 before and yes it was nice for a quid. But this, is perfect. It's matte which screams for me to buy, as I am a matte girl. It glides onto the lips and just looks bloody gorgeous on. I hear it is a dupe for Ruby Woo by a MAC by the way.


L'oreal True Match Foundation
Late to the game I know, but I don't give into hypes very easily, e.g. Benefit Porefessional ;) but I thought hey ho, let's buy it. And I'm so glad I did! It's a matte finish, mediumish coverage, and a perfect skin match for me. I'm in N2!
