Money well spent!

I often get asked how I do my makeup and how it's so long-lasting and goes on for hours without smudging. Now I'm going to share with you my secret. Haha. As if!

It's that simple! All you need is a primer of any brand I'd imagine, but I'm using Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I'm sure all primers work more or less the same way.

However, I find applying this one is so effortless and it glides on so smoothly. You only need that tiny little bit for upper and lower eye areas and smooth it on with your finger. I prefer to use my ring finger because it's known to be the gentle one with the mildest pressure. :p

I don't quite remember how much exactly it was but definitely under £10 again I could well be wrong. I got mine from Boots but Superdrug does them too! Check them both out as they sometimes do pretty awesome deals. Enjoy!

Hope you're having a great day and stay pretty ladies. Huggies. xoxo

My must-have!

If I must choose one item and one item only, it would have to be MASCARA! How about you? What's the most important part of your make-up regime?

I have used many brands of mascara, from branded to drugstore ones but I have to say Loreal's Voluminous is the winner of them all (until I find a better one). It's so cheap, something like less than £7 each and sometimes you get deals like buy 3 for 2 which means much cheaper at less than £5 each.

This is the old version of Voluminous. They have revised it and now it's Voluminous X5 and the packaging is in black.

Go grab yourself one if you haven't tried this! I really enjoy using mine and I hope you'd enjoy it as much as I do.

Diorshow is one of the expensive ones I've used. I'd give it a 3/5 because it smudges after a few hours of application. Maybe because I have oily skin? I don't know. Anyway it didn't work very well for me plus it's on the expensive side at around £20 each.

This is another that failed to meet my expectations! It's said to create a spectacular fanned out effect, for voluminous and beautifully lengthened looking lashes. Unfortunately didn't work for me!! Maybe for those with extremely long lashes it might do the trick but for me I'd give it a 2/5!

The most disappointing and pointless one I've used will have to be Lancome ÔSCILLATION WATER-RESISTANT. This is what it says on the product descriptions and none of its claims is true, what a bunch of b***s***!!!! Maybe for the part that it vibrates. Haha!

The 1st water-resistant vibrating mascara by Lancôme.
Perfect looking-lashes at the touch of a button.

Up to 18 hours wear. Lashes resist water without smudging. Up to 7000 oscillations per minute. Easy application.

The polymer-based vibrating brush has been specially designed to work in synergy with the texture of Oscillation for perfect lashes in the blink of an eye.

Simply press the button and this mascara automatically mimics the zig-zag brushstrokes used by professional make-up artists for lashes that look fuller, longer and more seperated.

1. Its micro-oscillating action and its ultra-smooth water-resistant long wear formula allows every single lash, even the shortest and hardest-to-reach, to be coated evenly.
2. The easy-to-use mascara brush ensures a controlled application so each lash is perfectly defined with no clumping.
3. Our revolutionary Powermascara leaves lashes looking visibly extended and multipled at the touch of a button.

They're charging a hefty £28 each and I felt so cheated after my first application!! It didn't do a thing to my lashes and I must say, any drugstore mascaras would do better than this. What a total gimmick!!!

So ladies, make sure you don't go wasting your money on this one!! I haven't touched mine a lot after a few applications! What a total waste of money!!

Enjoy your day and stay beautiful ladies. xoxo

Best and cheapest lip care product

Like many others I often find myself having very badly chapped lips especially in winter it can get so dry it sometimes bleeds.

I have tried many lip care products from Burt's Bee the popular and rather expensive one at around £5 for a tiny little jar to Carmex and Blistex and other lipglosses but in the end I always find myself coming back to Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

Not only it's cheap at £1 each it seems to be doing the job quite well. I've recently been to Boots and saw this:

Bought it without second thought and loving it to bits. I think it's relatively new in the market because I've never seen it before, I'm sure it has always been the usual green and blue pots but never a pink one. It caught my eyes while I was checking out the aisles and thought I had to have it. It has a gentle tint of pink which gives rosy lips. How much better can it get for a £1 lip therapy product?

So that's like the best thing obviously because I can use it on its own as a soft lip colour + lip care. What a find!!

Small things make me happy and I'm glad I'm quite easy to please!!

Enjoy your day ladies and catch up soon! xoxo

False eyelashes

The sole purpose of this picture is to show you my eyes, nothing else! I've recently bought myself a pair of falsies and loving it! Too much hardwork though - well not too bad for a first-timer!

Don't think I'm bothered using it everyday - maybe when there's a big occasion or something yes I'd definitely consider using it because it does do wonders and open up eyes but then again it does feel a bit too much at the same time! Maybe not on pictures but in real life it does feel that way! Maybe I'm not used to seeing myself having it on just yet.
