Make Up On The Run

When being forced into having to apply make up on the run, both convenience and speed are key. Here are the immediate 'throw into bag' products when in a rush, but still wanting to look somewhat put together.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES : February

I always seem to forget how fast the month of february goes, and before you know it, I'm conjuring up my list of products that make the cut for the months favourites. This month has revolved around looking put together with minimal effort required, and boy have I mastered that technique these 4 weeks. 

THOUGHTS: Revlon Colourburst Matte Balms

'Mischievous' - LEFT | 'Complex'- RIGHT

Ah the humble crayon. As much as I adore the flexibility of the concept, I simply wasn't head over heels in love with the continuous glossy formula that was being released alongside it. However, Revlon have once again answered my somewhat silent prayers and finally released a matte offering. 

Mini London Beauty Haul

Oh how I've missed blogging, its been what... 5 days? It feels like I've been away for 5 years! If you haven't already figured out from the title, I took a little trip to london and missed college, how rebellious. The soul purpose being to see the magnificent Taylor Swift in concert at the O2. It was amazing, spectacular, life changing... okay maybe not the last one, but I'm a huge fan so I guess you could say it was. 

Fan girling out of the way. I did manage to pick up a few beauty bits whilst on my travels; though not exactly a mountain of goodies, I thought it was worth a quick post to provide me with an opportunity to explain my absence. 

Best In Beauty 2013

I've only just realised whilst uploading the pictures that I have in fact, picked out 13 products. I could totally make this into the 'top 13 of 2013' tag floating around on youtube but it was completely unintentional. 

The majority of my favourites from 2013 have popped up from the drugstore. Lets be honest, drugstore brands were on a roll the past year, with quite a few releases being dupes for high end products! So without further a do, lets get started shall we.

The Winter Nude

Of course its natural to stray toward the darker tones this time of the year. So essentially, the same has to be said when it comes to the humble nude lipstick. We've also got to take into account the bitter weather conditions and with that come the products advertising hydration. Not quite the hefty criteria, but I find The Revlon Lip Butter in 'Pink Truffle' fits the bill just about right. 

AUTUMN PICKS: Lips

So a few of you may know by now that lip products are possibly more than a weakness to me and I never really feel fully satisfied unless I return from a shopping trip without a sparkling new lipstick at hand. Suffice to say, if there was ever a 'lipsticks anonymous' group session I'd surely be the first to sign up and admit to my addiction. Going completely off topic as per usual, but I just wanted to share a few of my favourable picks that shall be sweeping my lips this fall. 

Seche Vite VS Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat (DUPE)

Nail polish will forever hold a special place in my dear heart.It is of course, what introduced me to the wondrous world that is beauty . Seche Vite was a product that I would continuously contemplate on purchasing, being a tad on the pricey side for a clear top coat. However, pondering on the FeelUnique summer sales, the offer of £8 caught my attention and so I quickly snatched it up. Deciding that it was something that I would eventually want to try and cave on anyway. 

Seeing as though my previous 'Beauty battle off' post had proven quite popular I thought you all would find this equally as useful. 

BACK TO SCHOOL: Lips Of Choice

In order of lip products in previous images 

When considering a lip product suitable for school/ college days, quite a few factors come into consideration: longevity, comfort, effort etc. Most would stay within their comfort zone and opt for a simple chap stick and breaking boundaries would be a tinted lip balm, Which to be honest, I have no problem with. At the end of the day, that option is hassle free and no fuss is included. However being a lip product lover, I do often like to wear a spot of colour on the lips as I feel that it can make a look more put together and like effort has been made. Most days, I would swerve toward the 'my lips but better' shades (I know, cliché statement alert!) but on the days that I am feeling a bit on the daring side, I tend to opt for the classic red lip. So here are some options that I find fit the bill perfectly. 

Youtube Made Me TAG

Ever heard the Mean Girl's quote: 'I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops' 

That quote right there thoroughly describes me when it comes to Youtuber recommendations. So glancing at this tag, I thought it would fit me perfectly.These are just some of the products that a few of my favourite Youtuber's have recommended. 

SUMMER SELECTION SERIES: I ❤ Summer Tag

SUMMER SELECTION SERIES: Summer Make Up Bag Essentials

So my summer selection series is expanding and I thought this would be another simple post as to what I typically carry in my makeup bag in the summer; wether it be a shopping day or a day out with friends  

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: June

Ever since watching and reading all the monthly favourites on youtube and blogs, I have wanted to do my very own . So when starting this blog the first thing that I screamed (inside my head of course) was "I finally get to do my very own monthly favs!!". The point is- I am VERY excited to be doing this post! 

Apart from finishing college, not much has happened in the month of June and because of that my make up has been kept quite simple. So in terms of beauty favourites, there all products that I have been using on a daily basis. 

SUMMER SELECTIONS SERIES: Beach Beauty Essentials

Summer is in full bloom and as per usual England is nothing but a nasty rain cloud (which is really not surprising) However, in order to brighten up my mood I have been thinking about some beach essentials that I will be needing when I go on holiday and have the opportunity to tan by the sea!

SUMMER SELECTION SERIES: Top 5 Summer Lip Products

 I'm about to make a big confession.... i have a bit of an obsession for lip products; I always feel accomplished when returning home from a shopping trip with a good lipstick or gloss so as part of my summer selection series I thought a Top 5 would fit nicely.
