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.

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.

Lets Talk Lip Care

Autumn is officially in full swing, hence the lovely seasonal change in background. However, the weather it drags along with it can reek havoc on our precious lips and lets face it, no one wants to be sporting the chapped lips trend this fall and winter. So in order to keep them in lip locking condition, here is my combination of products to see me through.

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. 

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: August

The monthly favourites spree of posts is in full swing and I thought it was about time that I shared my own. I did do a mid monthly favourites for this month but I have discovered so many new products that this post would have been about 10 pages long if I didn't split it up. But without further a do, I'm just going to go ahead and start the rambles on my recent favourites.

BACK TO SCHOOL: Make Up Bag

So College is not so surprisingly around the corner. **Sigh** and to make matters worse, I have to start applying for universities and write my personal statement which by the way is a mammoth of a task. One of which I don't want to even think about at this moment in time. Anyway, I always like to be prepared when it comes to college, some may say a bit too prepared but you can never have to many emergency products with you. 

My Lips In Love

EOS (a.k.a Evolution of Smooth) lip balms.

 Ive never seen my lips react so quickly and lovingly to a hydrating lip product. Suffering from quite dry lips, I have been through my fair share of lip balms and treatments on the market and none of them have ever seemed to get it right. Of course, few have come close, for example the Carmex lip balm. For a while I was addicted to the stuff, but once I stopped using it I found that my lips became even worse. I also wasn't a big fan of the slippery oil like texture that sat on the lips.

So when I found that I would be taking a trip to the big US, the EOS lip balms were a product I definitely wanted to get my hands on.
