Winter Spending.




I picked up these make-upilicious goodies over the past few weeks....


(Sorry for the blurry-ish picture...)


  • Max Factor 'False Lash Effect Mascara' : I absolutely love this! It makes your lashes look natural although extremely long!... Although the one down side i find with it is that it comes off quite easily... ( i don't like wearing a lot of mascara, so thats not an option) 
  • Maybelline 'Colossal Volum' Express Mascara' : This is the only other mascara i will use. It's very similar to the mascara i stated above but, it definitely stays on a lot longer than Max Factor.  Its a definite go to mascara. 
  • Maybelline 'Master Smoky Pencil' : This is a MUST HAVE. Its brilliantly easy to apply, and stays on the whole night! I actually got this for christmas, after falling in love with the same eye pencil but in brown, both are subtle, although easily can be great for a very stand outish smokey eye. 
  • Urban Decay ' Smoked' : This is an absolutely amazing smoky eye palette!  It has a good range of shades from neutral mattes to amazing glistening jewelled tones.  Perfect for anyone who loves the classic or even the more daring smoky eye. 
  • Benefit ' Boiing concealer' : If you have olive skin just like me, you HAVE TO get this concealer. This concealer is very creamy, but not greasy.  I can put it on blemishes on my forehead and it does not get any greasier than it needs to be.  Another pro to this amazing product  is that it's blend-able on the skin and lovely pigmentation. 
  •  Illmasqua 'skin base foundation in SB 11' : When i purchased this, i didn't intentionally go to buy this brand. Although i saw it on a stall in 'Selfridges' and thought it looked a highly approved brand.  The woman on the stall help me find my shade, as soon as she put it on my skin i though WOW, i need this. Now. It gives such a clean coverage, and doesn't leave any blotchy patches which i have found with other foundations.  If you're looking for a subtle and natural foundation this is one for you. 
  • Rimmel Lipstick 'Kate moss in shade 107' : After watching one of my favourite Beauty YouTubers 'Zoella' (will put her links below), raving about this lipstick i knew i had to give it a go. OH MY GOSH, this is amazing.  For the type of dull weather going on in England at the moment it's perfect. This lipstick has a lovely matte finish, doesn't dry out my lips and oddly enough, one of my favourite things about it is the smell...Its smells kinda like winter berries.
