Maybelline BROWdrama: The BROWsaviour

If it wasn't obvious previously, I have a not so sneaky obsession with brows. If you're at all interested  in my reasoning as to why, then I will link the shpeel here. I know this product isn't exactly a recent release, but I felt a need to express my undying love to it for vastly improving my brow routine.. and my eyebrows in general. 

THOUGHTS: Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Paints

L - Golden Bronze | R- Rich Russet 

It's near impossible to resist temptation when a youtuber or blogger is fawning over a product and unfortunately... or not so unfortunately in my case, a lot of my sporadic purchases are as a result of reading or watching one too many videos or blog posts; this particular purchase being a prime example.  

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: Charles Worthington Texturising Spray

Now I'm not really one to slather products onto my hair very often. However, being the owner of waist length, pin straight hair certainly does not do me any favours in the volume department. So I will do just about anything to give my hair a bit of a lift. 

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. 

THOUGHTS: L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara

With manga, abnormally large doe eyes spring to mind. Now who wouldn't want that... I know I sure would. Colourful displays and a big fat sign shouting 'offer for £5.99' was simply enough to lure me in. I swear Boots can sense my weaknesses.

As a daily falsies wearer myself, I'm not typically a huge mascara junkie... but who can resist Barbara Palvin on the advertisements. 

THOUGHTS: Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

 Of course, drugstore primers are both a blessing and a slight curse. Though there isn't a hefty price tag, It does often brake me out, or not even fulfil its job as a primer. So with that in mind, I was in fact a little skeptical when returning home with the product at hand.

THOUGHTS: Quick Fix Facials

My skin has been a wreck recently. To be honest, I have a feeling it has something to do with my lack of clean make up brushes, which I can't necessarily complain about seen as though it comes down to no ones fault but my lazy self. 

I've trailed through a fair few spot treatments and so I thought it was due time that I tried a face mask or two. 

THOUGHTS: L'Oréal Nude Magique Foundation

The Boots 3 for 2 offer lured me in as always and this time around, I decided to try out a few new released bases. There have been a few whispers on this particular release but all were fairly positive and the concept of a 'fresh feel foundation' and 'weightless perfection' definitely intrigued me enough to give it a go.

THOUGHTS: Nivea Express Hydration Primer

Though the drugstore has skilfully mastered most beauty products that have hit the high end counters, I still find that primers are an aspect they have yet to perfect. I must admit, I've tried my fair share of budget primers but none seem to give me that long lasting, air brushed finish I desire that will also keep me matte. So winter is well on its way and I figured that if this worked well, would kill two birds in one stone, making my morning routine slightly more time efficient.

My New Nude Lip Lover?

I cut my lip :( 
Rimmel moisture renew lipstick- Lets Get Naked

It seems as though I've been betraying quite a few products recently, first my beloved Maybelline Gel liner and now unfortunately my former nude lover Mac's shy girl, whom maybe feeling a tad left out... is it weird that I'm personifying beauty products? Eh, who's classed as 'normal' these days anyway.

THOUGHTS: Rimmel ScandalEyes Felt Tip Liner

I will admit, Ive been quite lazy this past week. I do tend to love experimenting with shadow combinations on a daily basis, but It's all just gone a bit down hill if I do say so myself. So during my so called 'sloth week' Ive just been sticking to a simple winged liner and my statement lip of choice, which has recently been my new RiRi Woo.

Despite my love affair with the mighty gel liner, this new product has been my newest weapon of choice. 

THOUGHTS: Manhattan Soft Matte LipCreams

Lip products in general are an absolute weakness, so routing through Fragrance Direct, it was ultimately going to end in at least 1 lip purchase. Lip creams have been quite the hype since NYX released their take on the formula. I know when I was in my early teens that I formly owned one of the Collection (or collection 2000 as it was) lip creams and was treasured till the end of it's sad life, so it isn't essentially all to new to the inudstry... everyone was just kinda late to catch on I guess. 

THOUGHTS: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum

£10.99 (Superdrug)

When it comes to foundations, I'm not really the type to sport a full coverage formula often. On an everyday basis, I tend to steer toward the BB creams and if I'm fortunate enough to be blessed with a good skin day then concealer would do the job just fine. When reading the phrase 'Gel Foundation' I was a tad skeptical on how natural the finish would be. However being a firm follower of EssieButton from youtube, I simply couldn't resist the purchase. 

THOUGHTS: Bourjois Bronzing Primer

Trolling through Boots on the oh so fabulous 'buy 1 get another 50% off' deal' I decided it was time to give this fairly new release a test. I've had my eye on the Chanel soleil tan de chanel for quite some time but figured I should give this one ago before hammering the bank account on a bronzer. Also, having heard Chanel owns Bourjois (or vice versa) I thought it would be of the same concept. I absolutely love to contour so the idea of a cream bronzer ticks all the boxes for me! 

REVIEW: Bourjois Colour Burst Lip Crayons

 Le swatches:- 

Left- Peach on the beach 

Middle- Orange punch 

Right- Red sunrise 

Ever since the release of the Clinique chubby sticks there has been a sudden craze in lip crayons; with just about every drugstore brand creating there own version, so it was not surprising when Bourjois decided to launch their take on them. 

During my America travels I have been testing these beauties out on their wear, pigmentation and just all round comfort in the scorching heat. 

Swatching them in the store, they came across quite highly pigmented for a lip crayon which was of course a good sign and the fact that they had a supposed 10 hour wear and SPF certainly did not put me off. So of course, being a lip junkie, I had to buy more than one shade.. More like 3, but I certainly did not regret it.
