Spring Makeup Essentials

Hi Guys!
As the weather has been amazing recently in the UK and we're finally in spring, I thought I'd do a post on my spring makeup essentials! Some of these products are new to my collection and some I've had forever! So here's my picks... 

MAC Strobe Cream

I've recently been using this under my foundation as a base or mixed in with it to add a beautiful natural glow to the skin. It's perfect for spring/summer as it creates a dewy finish to any foundation without looking sweaty. I will be buying the full size of this soon!

MAC Face and Body Foundation

I have this shade a bit darker than my normal skin colour as I use it when I'm tanned - especially on holiday. Its a water based foundation and is so light weight on the skin so is perfect for summer! Its also waterproof yet still gives good coverage. My perfect summer foundation!

MUA Spring Break Eyeshadow Palette

I only picked up this palette today but the colours and pigmentation are amazing for just £4! The light blue shade (Bottom row, 4th in) is the perfect spring shade for adding a pop of colour to any look! I love using these shades to smoke out my lower lash line for a more wearable colourful look.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Soft and Gentle

I don't have many highlighting products but this is definitely my favourite. Again doing the same as the Strobe Cream, this is perfect for a dewy glowing look. I apply this on the very top of my cheekbones with a fan brush and it gives the most beautiful radiant glow!

Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream - Petal

I also only picked this product up this morning but have been wearing it all day and loving it. I have a red from this Matte Me collection and think the formula is incredible. They apply as a lip cream or liquid lipstick and within a minute they are completely matte and will not budge. I love a matte lip and think that this colour is perfect for spring!

MAC Dreaming Dahlia

Tanned skin and coral lips is always the dream look for me during summer. I picked this lipstick up last year and I'm pretty sure it was from the 'A Fantasy of Flowers' MAC collection but don't quote me on that... There's so many good coral/orange lipsticks at the drugstore however this is my favourite coral shade that I own! A definite must for summer.

MAC Kelly Yum-Yum

This lipstick was from the Kelly Osborne collection at MAC and the colour to me just screams summer! I find it so hard to wear these bright pink lip colours during winter as I personally just don't think it looks right so I'll definitely be getting good use out of this in the upcoming months! MAC no longer sell this lipstick however it is almost identical to their shade 'Candy Yum Yum' so check it out!

That brings me to the end of my Spring Makeup Essentials! Are there any products you can recommend to me for spring? I will be doing a tutorial soon and will incorporate some of these products into it! 

Hope you enjoyed,

Makeup of the day: Night Out

Hey Guys!

On Monday night I went to a club in Bournemouth where Callum Best was hosting his Birthday party. I ended up not even meeting him but took pictures of my makeup when I was getting ready! I've been trying to use things in my collection that I never reach for so here's what I used....

For a primer I used my travel sized MAC Strobe Cream which gives an amazing dewy glow to the skin through your foundation. I also used some Maybelline Baby Lips to moisturise my lips while I do the rest of my makeup. I've been loving L'oreal True Match at the moment so used this for my foundation. I then primed my eyes with MAC Paint pot in Soft Ochre. This is where I wanted to use some products that I hardly ever use... I put down my MAC Palette and picked up my MUA Undress Me Too Palette. I used the shade Lavish (5th from the left on the top row) mixed with Benefit Hoola in my crease for more definition. I then darkened up the outer v with Obsessed (5th from the left on the bottom row). For the lid I used MAC Lily-White Pigment from their A Fantasy of Flowers collection. I love the colour of this but for some reason have hardly ever used it before! 

For eyeliner, I used my ever trusty L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim - Intense Black on the top as it's so easy to draw on your liner as close to your lash line as possible. For my lower water line I used MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil - Engraved and it stayed on all night! Moving back onto my face, for concealer I used my Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye - Light and then to bronze, used Benefit Hoola again! I used my MAC Powder Blush in Desert Rose and then blended it in along with my bronzer. For eyebrows, I used my Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit - Dark and just used the powder. To finish off my face I used MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder - Medium and then used MAC Fix+ all over the face to add to the dewy finish. 

For lashes I used Benefit They're Real on top and then Maybelline Great Lash Mascara on my bottom lashes. I then lined my lips with MAC Whirl Lipliner and then filled in my lips with Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm - Elusive which I had just bought that day and really loved. And that completes the look! I know it wasn't very intense reviews on everything but was more for the products!

What's your go-to look for a night out? Or do you normally experiment with new things?

Speak soon,

Favourite Red Lips

When it comes to lips there's nothing more traditional than a red lipstick. It can sometimes be difficult to find a high pigmented, long-posting red lip and we've all be through the struggle of reapplying every 2 minutes! I like to change my favourite lippys up a bit so i've made a list of my top 5...

Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Revolution Lipstick - Mrs. Mia Wallace

This is one of my newest additions to my lipstick collection as the Urban Decay Pulp Fiction collection was only released in the UK last September and due to the high demand I wasn't able to get my hands on it until November... It was my first lipstick from Urban Decay and I love everything about it. The colour is the perfect blood/deep red and the lipstick formulation is incredibly creamy. It's truly long-lasting, smooth and richly pigmented. The packaging is so sleek and personally I found that the lipstick makes my teeth look whiter when wearing it, and who doesn't want that!

Kate Moss Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - 01

I've had this lipstick for a good few years now and I love the creaminess of it. It's a more blue toned red and is very long lasting. The only downside to this lipstick is that it can be slightly drying but it's nothing a little lipgloss/balm won't solve! Great value for money retailing at £5.49, perfect for those on a budget.

MAC Matte Lipstick - Ruby Woo

MAC is definitely my favourite brand for lipsticks in general, but especially their reds. Ruby Woo is incredibly matte, making it last a lot longer than other lipsticks which is essential for bright colours, especially for long days and nights out. As this lipstick is SO matte, it can be very drying so a lip liner is essential for me but personally I would wear a liner with all of these lipsticks. Definitely a repurchase! 

MAC Matte Lipstick - Lady Danger

My number 1 favourite MAC Lipstick that I own, possibly even my favourite from my whole collection. Lady Danger is definitely my most worn, go-to red. It's incredibly bright and summery however works all year round and even for that wintery, christmassy red. One of the least drying of MAC lipsticks, very creamy and pigmented and of course it's MAC so smells dreamy! 

Sleek Matte Me Ultra Smooth Matte Cream 

Not exactly a lipstick, but when it's done it's magic you couldn't tell! These Sleek Matte Creams apply glossy and creamy but quickly dry to a long wearing matte finish. Possibly the longest wearing lip product I own, perfect if you're not a fan of reapplying! So so pigmented and at £4.99 it's definitely worth it for how long lasting it is!

I'm always looking for new red lips to try out so what would you recommend?
Hope you enjoyed!
