Today I thought I'd share the products I use on an everyday bases for my make up. My make up is pretty basic and natural so I don’t use many products and I never do much eye make up apart from a bit of eyeliner and mascara. Anyway here are some of the products I use everyday.

Revlon Nearly Naked foundation 

Maybelline Falsies mascara

Collection eyeliner pencil

(sorry i didn't get a photo) 

MUA Cover and conceal concealer

Rimmel stay matte powder

MUA Bronzer

Maybelline Baby lips Hydrate

I do use a lipstick but this often changes but the one I’ve been using the most is the Revlon colour burst matte balm

I use the two brushes Real Techniques powder brush and the Real Techniques face expert brush to apply my powder and foundation and for my bronzer I use an Avon angled blush brush to apply that.

So these are the products I use everyday or have done for the last few months,

Lip Product tag

1.What is your favourite balm or treatment?

Without a doubt my favourite balm has to be the Maybelline baby lips, this is just my favourite balm it’s perfect it has a nice range to choose from and they’re very hydrating. I usually use them on a daily bases for school and they keep my lips hydrated for along time and for the price they’re cheap and affordable. 

2. What is your favourite eye catching red?

Rimmel apocalypse lip lacquer big bang (400) I’m a big fan of the rimmel apocalypse lip laquers, they leave a bright, bold, stunning colour on your lips. I love the look these leave. i have never owned a red lipstick but this is defiantly the one I want to get. 

3. The best luxury and drugstore product?

I have no Idea what the best luxury drugstore product Is I never tend to go for the luxury stuff and I’ve never bought anything that’s luxury but I’m going to say mac without a doubt mac are the best you’ll get. My favourite drugstore product will have to be the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks I currently own one of these in the colour 16 and I love it, they’re around £5- £6 I think but they’re really good and last quite a long time plus you have a large range to choose from and either a matte lipstick or the normal lipstick.

4. Best MAC lipstick?

The dazzle glass for me is the best lip product you can get (I haven’t tried any other lipsticks from mac yet) they’re not too sticky and they’re have some great colours. The colour I have in this is the colour dark crimson and this is a neutral colour, but once it hits the light it is amazing the product basically is what the name is it dazzles when it hits the lights, it’s super glossy.

 5. Most disappointing lip product?

I’m going to say the topshop lipsticks, now I do love the colours from the topshop range and they’re not bad price but I got the lipstick in the colour Beguiled and I do love this colour but I’m disappointed at how the finish is. It makes your lips look very dry. i know it can be easily solved but if you use a lip balm before the product won’t go on as easy. So yeah after all they hype I had heard it defiantly wasn’t as good as I expected.

6. Lipliner : yes or no? no I don’t like using a liner I don’t find it any useful, I just find that it adds extra time in the morning and doesn’t make a difference.

7. Favourite gloss?

My favourite gloss is the mac dazzle glass in the colour Dark Crimson like I mentioned earlier it’s really nice on the lips and it’s very glossy and this colour especially is very subtle and very neutral.

8. ..Something else?!

I’m going to say that the something else that didn’t fit into this quiz is the Revlon colourburst  matte balm. this product has to be my new favourite ever since they came out I have fell in love the colour I have is 205 Elusive and I love this I have wore it throughout march/april and may and I generally love it. it’s very moisturising and it’s a matte finish which looks gorgeous and it actually lasts about two hours before needing to be reapplied. And did I mention that it smells like peppermint? It’s really nice.

April Favourites

So it’s once again the end of April and it’s the beginning of may and I can say this month has just came and gone, I feel like I've done so much in so little time and now It’s may and my exams start in about one or two weeks, I'm terrified as I still haven't started any revision yet, but anyway here are some of my beauty and fashion favourites from April.

This is an overview of all of my beauty favourites of the month.

So to start with I got the Maybelline Falsies, I watch a lot of Youtubers on YouTube especially fashion and beauty youtubers, including both Tanya Burr and Zoella and every time I always hear about the Maybelline Falsies. I've been dying to try this but I've always put it off getting it, but I finally got it at the beginning of April and I have loved it since. It gives the lashes a dramatic but natural look.

My next favourite is from Lush, this month especially I have fell in love with Lush and their products but I have especially loved the Bunch of Carrots which I got for Easter. I've had the for the entire month and I still haven't gone through one carrot, so they last a long time and they smell amazing and of course even though it’s a bubble wand it still leaves your skin refreshed and soft.

this favourite I have had for months but have mainly been using over the last two weeks since I went back to school last week, my lips have been getting dry from talking a lot and generally just from being in school all day, so I’ve been using the Maybelline Baby Lips hydrate and I even put this on as a layer then apply my Mac Dazzle Glass Lip Gloss on top, This lip gloss is pretty good it doesn't last the full eight hours it should but it still lasts a long time.

So that was my beauty favourites so here are some of my fashion favourites for the month. To start with I'll start with my favourite footwear of the month which it my Grey Ankle Boots from River Island. This boots I've had for three years now and they're kind of a re-discovery and I wear them with everything, I think they just fit and they're extremely comfortable to wear.

This favourite I included in one of my blog posts a few weeks ago and it’s this Half black half Grey top from Newlook, this top I’ve fell in love with I know it’s spring and I should be wearing pastels and lighter colours but this top it’s really light and quite thin so it’s nice for the hotter days but I really can't wait to wear it when I go to college.

 My final favourite is my new jeans from Urban Outfitters they're called Black cigarette cuffed jeans and I got them in their sale for £20 they were originally £45 and I love them, I find it hard to find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly around both the waist and the legs but these jeans I found they are a perfect fit and for being skinny jeans they are incredibly soft and comfortable and since they're plain back they're suitable for both going out during the day or going out for a meal.

(not my photo i couldn't get a good photo of them) 

i have one last favourite but it’s not a beauty or a fashion favourites it’s a film, I went to see this during my Easter holidays and I can say that it was brilliant film there wasn't a single boring moment. It’s Divergent, I'm in love with it and it’s made me think a lot about fear since I saw it. I know, I know it’s stupid but i got my inspiration for my last post from the film. But if you haven't seen this film I recommend that you do. I'm not going to spoil anything but I wrote a blog post about the film, which I'll link below.

Shopping Divergent and Nandos: 

So these were my favourites of April favourites, let me know below in the comments what your favourites of the month were and I'll update next Saturday
