Part 1: My Makeup Palette Collection 2016!

Holaaaaaa
I realised I never ever say hello in my blog posts, how rude of me, I apologise. Anyway, I digress.

I'm a makeup addict. There, I said it. 

I buy makeup all the time and what is the point when I only have one face? But that's not the point of this post. This post is about my palettes. Quick note, I'm half way through this and I feel like I'm going to have to make another post because I have that many palettes. Great!
I'm going to do a separate post on my custom made palettes, but these are my actual set shade palettes. Let's start with my favourite.

Urban Decay Naked 
This is the original one, and my favourite one. It comes with twelve shades, ten shimmers and two mattes and they're all warm toned. I think this is a perfect all rounder eyeshadow palette as it was my first palette!

Urban Decay Naked 2
I do love this one, I did originally buy it for my sister for Christmas but I heard her say she wouldn't wear them so I kept it for myself. It's more of a cool toned palette compared to the original, but I love this one for nights out.

Urban Decay Naked Smoky 
I'm annoyed at myself that I don't get enough wear out of this, but I think with Christmas season soon approaching (YAS) that I will be reaching for this. A perfect mix of eight shimmers and four mattes. If you're extravagant go for this!

Urban Decay Naked On The Run
If you've never tried Urban Decay, get this. It comes with the Perversion mascara, the 24/7 glide on eye pencil in Smokeout, the ultra nourishing lipgloss in Sesso, five eyeshadows, a bronzer and blusher. Gloriously worth it!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics 
I like this palette, I don't love it. It's six matte shades and they're alright you know. I'm tempted to get rid of it but I feel like I'd miss it as soon as I'd get rid of it!

Urban Decay Naked Flushed in "Native"
Love the highlight, not so keen on the blush, quite like the bronzer. Not gonna lie, I kept it for the highlight. Highlight life.

I apologise if I sound a bit "weeeee" in this post. I'm really tired, goodnight! :)

Too Faced Haul


When this little beautiful box arrived at my door I straight away was in love. It started when I was led on the sofa watching the telly, and I had an email from Too Faced saying it was free shipping worldwide. Knowing I wanted a specific set from the American site, I took my chance.


I ordered the Most Loved Set and got to choose two free samples, I chose the Born This Way foundation. Which came in a strip and gave a good amount of foundation in a sachet, in three different shades. I really appreciate the fact they did that because usually brands just send a random shade! I also didn't realise this but I picked the Hangover X primer as a tester too, even though it came in the set haha!


The set I picked up included the most popular items from Too Faced in mini form including:
-Melted Lipstick in Melted Fig
-Hangover Primer
-Shadow Insurance eye primer
-Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
-Better Than Sex mascara




I had tried the Better than Sex mascara before so I was super excited for it to be included as I'm running out of my current one. I have also got the Melted Nude lipstick and I adored it so I'm happy for another one of them. Although, the colour is a bit out there, I think I'll be brave in the winter.
The chocolate soleil bronzer literally smells like chocolate and it looks so incredible. I've heard great things about the face primer and the eye primer!

I will update you on what I think :) 



P.S. I'm really sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, I was going to do a post but I haven't got a reason why. I think I want to just keep this as a hobby and if I pressurize myself, I might not want to even do a post! So yeah, when you get one, you get one, when you don't, you don't! Sorry X

Highend Make Up Spree

With all my travelling, I visited duty free more than once. On my first holiday, I restrained from buying anything from the first time because I knew returning home, I would go nuts.

That I did.

I picked up the MAC Ariana Grande VIVA Glam Lipstick, I ordered this ages ago but was refunded because they had run out of stock. I absolutely adore this shade, I love Ariana, I have nothing like this in my collection, I've never had a VIVA Glam and all the proceeds go to charity. What else could you want?


Awful lighting lol, I apologise. 

I also picked up the Amber Times Nine palette, I was going to get the burgundy one but I feel as if I wouldn't reach for it that much. It's nice and compact and so perfect for travel. Definitely a must if you're looking to try MAC eyeshadows!

On my third holiday, (my second one was in a little village) this is where I branched out. I had done my research and knew that the duty free while returning was small so I decided to treat myself on the way, to Estee Lauder. I have been on the hunt for a eyelash primer for ages and I was torn between Estee Lauder's Little Black Primer or Benefit They're Real Primer. I decided to pick up the Estee Lauder one as there was a kit available, the primer and the Sumptuous Mascara. I so far, love the primer! I haven't tried the mascara as of yet.

When I was on holiday, we went in to Corfu town, and I was incredibly shocked and SO excited to see a Sephora. I ran down the street and ran straight in, I picked up a fask mask and some bath fizzers from the actual Sephora brand and then I picked up the Too Faced Natural Mattes palette, which I absolutely adore and think it could already be one of my ultimate favourites!

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!

Spring in Wales

With Spring finally in amongst us, I've been trying to get into the Spring vibe. I put trying in italics because in Wales, it's quite hard to be in cute dresses and floral clothes when it's hammering down with rain outside.. and when it is sunny, two hours later it will be hailing. Just like today! 

But, I have found a combo that allows me to feel like I'm dressing somewhat Spring like.


It's wearing a floral jumper from Pull and Bear, which was £8 and I have received a million compliments on! The white, orange, yellow and blue flowers on the black jumper looks like it could be from Urban Outfitters. But it wasn't. And it doesn't have the price tag.


I match this jumper with MAC lipstick in Ravishing. I'm always trying to match this colour with a look because it is such a beautiful colour. It's a toned down orange which you can intensify or down it down even more to be a orangey nude. It's a cremesheen so it's super creamy on the lips and it matches the jumper so well!




I think I could probably make this work in Autumn too, but let's not get too carried away!

April 2016 Beauty Wishlist



I've been seeing this style of post for a while now and I think it's such a good idea to get some inspiration if you're looking at getting a few bits, be it for birthday, someone else or a treat for you!

Zoeva Brushes 
I think everyone is lusting over these beautiful babies. I am not ready to spend £60+ over a couple of pretty brushes, however. So, I have decided I am just going to lust over the Buffer Brush on Beauty Bay.. and if I keep thinking about it... I may own one.

Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick in 1995
I feel like this one will probably happen because this is also on Beauty Bay and me and my friend, Leah, have been talking about it. So I feel like this is going to be mine, but it just looks gorgeous! The name is also a plus because I was actually born in 1995!

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
I bought the All Day Luminous Weightless foundation in December and I think it's one of my favourite foundations EVER. But, this is just so so raved about that I want to try this too. I don't know how likely this purchase will be..

NARS Raquel Audacious Lipstick
Another NARS.. for goodness sake Katie, why such expensive taste!!!! But I have always wanted this lipstick and Kathleen Lights says this is her ultimate fave and she is like God.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll review at the end of the month to see if I did buy any of them!

Handbag Essentials


If you're like me when you wake up in the morning, get yourself ready as quick as you can, grab your bag and run out the door and think "Wait, have I got my ____?" Then I hope this post helps you.
I have certain things that I keep in my bag ALWAYS. They never come out, and that's the things in the pictures.
A Diary
Chewing Gum
Lipbalm
Powder and Brush
Lipgloss
Perfume

There are other things I suggest you always keep in there such as handgel, tissues and other things like that but I forgot them. (The irony!) 

Diary: You always need to know what time you're supposed to be at the hairdressers.
Lipbalm; Dry lips are not cute.
Powder and Brush: You can get oily running about all day!
Chewing Gum: Good breath is always a good move.
Lipgloss: If you're feeling fancy
Perfume: Smelling good should be an essential.

These things never ever leave my bag!


L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Powder
Victoria Secret Dream Perfume
Urban Decay Naked lipgloss in Naked
Extra Ice Chewing Gum
Real Techniques Powder Brush
Sprinkle of Glitter Diary 2016

Current Favourite Things

I wanted to do monthly favourites on this blog, but sometimes I really don't love that many things and I don't want to just throw random things in just to say, if I don't really love them. So I'm just going to do Current Favourites, while I collect them all together and write.



Simple Kind To Skin+ Protecting Moisture Cream SPF 30. UVA/UVB.
I think I've mentioned this before on my blog, but I absolutely freaking love this. I went through two over the last year and recently ran out. I decided not to repurchase it and use up a couple of other moisturizers I had to use up. But I ended up throwing them away and sticking to this. It contains so many good ingredients such as Vitamin B3 and Vitamin E. It also has Glycerin in, which helps keep makeup on so I love using this before. It just makes my skin so glowing and protects it so well. Would definitely recommend. 
£4.65

Urban Decay Naked 2 
I'm going to do a full review of all the Naked Palettes I own soon on my blog, so I won't go into too much detail. But I adore this palette, it is so good for day and for night and just makes my eyes stand out so much.

L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Stay Fresh Foundation
L'Oreal foundations have some of the best foundations I've ever tried. I have this and the Matte version of this foundation. But this one I prefer, I have figured out that the best way to apply this is with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. It is a high coverage foundation, makes my skin so glowy and I look fresh, which is exactly what the foundation claims to do. 
£9.99

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara
I purchased this from the Swindon Designer Outlet Centre which I mentioned here for £9.50. I adore this mascara, I makes my lashes extra bouncy and I also like to put it on the outer top lashes and on the very tips on my top lashes for a extra curl. It definitely puts that finishing touch on my makeup and I definitely recommend it. 
£13.50




Random

TV
Thirteen 
This is on BBC3 which has recently moved online. It's about a girl who went missing at 13, for 13 years and the police are trying to find out about what happened and then other things happen to make the plot even thicker. Now I'm usually a Gossip Girl fan so this is a bit different to what I usually watch but I still love it just as much. They upload a new episode every Sunday at 12pm. Highly worth a watch!

Pasta Bake
Very random I know. But I am LOVING pasta bakes, they are just incredible. Not much else to say on the pasta bake front.

I hope you enjoyed these favourites, what have you been loving?

My MAC Lipstick Collection

As I mentioned in my last posts, in 2014 I came into my element with high end makeup. MAC was definitely one I was resistant to, I don't know why, I just wasn't feeling it! I was soon converted by Gabriella or velvetgh0st as she is a huge fan of MAC. So without further or do, here is my MAC lipstick collection.
Since 2014, I have built up quite the collection of MAC lipsticks. Some I wear to death, some not so much.

In Order of Purchase:
Creme Cup
Hue
Snob
Ravishing
Rebel
Costa Chic
MAC Red
Cherish
Peach Blossom
Shy Girl
Velvet Teddy
Relentlessly Red
Please Me

My favourites are Velvet Teddy, Hue, Shy Girl, Rebel, MAC Red and Please Me.
I think my least favourites are Snob and Costa Chic just because they are very very pink, obviously. i love them, like I love them all, but I don't use them nearly as much as I should because of how PINK they are.

MAC Eyeshadow Palette

Following my Swindon Beauty Haul, I feel like I should do a collection of my MAC eyeshadows. 
I started my MAC palette in November, I know I have a lot, considering that's like four months. BUT. Three of my eyeshadows were bought from a outlet centre. And the rest of them were bought from my sister who has a MAC pro card so she got it cheaper. She gave some to me for my birthday and christmas, and my mum used the card to also give me some. I'm a lucky gal! 

Top Row: Yoghurt, Naked Lunch, All that Glitter, Honey Lust, Amber Lights


I couldn't swatch yoghurt because it wouldn't show up that well, but it looks beaaautiful on the eyes.

Second Row: Patina, Charcoal Brown, Mystery, Satin Taupe, Club and Black Tied.


My favourites are Naked Lunch, Charcoal Brown, Satin Taupe and Club! 

I absolutely adore my MAC palette and get so much use out of it. I use all the shades so I do get my moneys worth. Overall, I really rate MAC eyeshadows and I'd definitely recommend them!

Swindon Beauty Outlet Haul


Recently I went to Swindon Designer Outlet and picked up a few makeup bits. I also picked up some trainers but I feel they didn't go with the theme of this video haha. 
From the Beauty Outlet, I picked up a Victoria's Secret spray in Pure Daydream. It was £10 down from £15 so I thought why not, me and my sister also picked up the last two of them, so it was fate reaaaally. I also picked up a L'Oreal infallible eyeshadow, as they always have them in there. I picked up the shade Forever Pink which is absolutely beautiful!

Then on to the Cosmetics Company Store, I picked up a few MAC item. I chose two eyeshadows which were Black Tied and Mystery, I've wanted them for the ages so I thought why not! £7 each and they are beautiful shades. I also got a paint pot in Stormy Pink, which again I was going to purchase before I went there, it was £11.25 rather than £16. I got a blush in "Make You Mine" which is a beautiful dusky shade and highly pigmented, that was £10. Lastly from MAC, I got the lipstick in Please Me, which is a pink matte shade. It goes so well with the lipglass and looks so nice on the lips. That was £12. 


I got two more items from the Cosmetics Company store, I picked up the Estee Lauder double wear foundation. I have never tried this, and it was £21 rather than £30. They had so many colour ranges and I picked up 2N1. Lastly, I saw the Clinique Bottom Lash mascara and hearing so many good reviews I had to pick it up. That was £9.50.

Quick disclaimer, when I know I'm going to Swindon, I always save in advance as I rarely go and when I do go, I splurge. I don't buy makeup all the time so when I do, I treat myself.

Waterproof Makeup

For those of you who may or may not know, I am a lifeguard and swimming teacher. I teach swimming four times a week, and lifeguard around that. My job means that sometimes I have to get in the pool, either expected or unexpectedly. Thankfully, most of the time I don't have to get in, but there is always a chance. So, I like to wear makeup that I know will not drip down my face if it does happen.
I apologise my brows are awful, they are due a wax!

I like to opt for a lighter foundation or a BB cream when I work, I can't actually remember what I wore here but I think it was L'Oreal Nude Magique or Rimmel Matte BB Cream! 
Brows are always filled in, but with a wax instead. I like the Sleek eyebrow stylist, and don't forget the brow gel!


I like using colour tattoos from Maybelline, they stay on forever and they can be subtle, or strong, depending on how much you want! 


Always use a powder, and waterproof mascara! I like Maybelline Lash Sensational. TIP: It hurts if you get mascara or in particular concealer in your eyes, so light coats of mascara and extremely light on the under eye concealer!


I don't bother with lipsticks or gloss so I just use a lip balm! :) 

I hope this helped some of you, this could also be used in the summer if you're at the pool or if it's just a really hot day!
