The Affordable Dreamy Combo Keeping My Skin Looking Lovely

 My favourite combo at the moment has to be these two products. 

THE CLEANSER:

This cleanser from Sephora has to be the best micellar cleanser I have tried. It's kind to the skin, refreshing and most importantly it gets rid of all make-up and dirt on the skin, I've just started on my second bottle. Unfortunately you can't buy it in the UK so I always stock up on it whenever I am abroad. It's only $12 dollars so very affordable. (you can buy it online and just pay the shipping fee)

 THE NIGHT CREAM:

This night cream is from the Superdrug Vitamin E range which I had heard a lot about so I bought this a couple of months ago to give it a try as it is only £2.99(!!!) no harm done if I didn't like it but I really do. It does everything it says on the tin - my skin looks super glowy in the morning and it's been really helping me out with the colder weather as my skin hasn't really been dry at all.

Do you have any good skincare products you can recommend?

Lip Kit by Kylie Jenner Review

Lip Kit in True Brown K - Kylie Cosmetics

I finally got my hands on one!! It was Friday at 5pm I was at work, I clicked on Twitter and just as I did Kylie tweeted saying that all lip kits were now in stock 30 seconds ago. I was straight on the website with True Brown K in my basket. After watching all of the youtube first impressions about them I had to get one.

I do love all of the new shades but I wanted a shade I didn't already have something similar to so the brown it was. I have always been fond of a dark lip so this hasn't disappointed.

I'm really impressed with it, the lip liner goes on super smoothly and the liquid lipstick dries quickly and is really long lasting.

I must get more colours.

BEAUTY - My Favourite Liquid Lipstick

Sephora Cream Lip Stain - 13 Marvellous Mauve

On face -

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer under eyes

MAC matte bronzer on face

Clinique Cheek pop blusher in peach pop

Anastacia Beverley Hills eyeshadow in Pink champagne

Kat Von D tattoo eyeliner in Trooper

Sephora cream lip stain in Marvellous Mauve

This liquid lipstick or cream lip stain as Sephora like to call it is to die for. I swatched it whilst in Sephora in Hollywood L.A and instantly fell in love. The shade was exactly what I had been looking for and the formula is seriously dreamy. It hasn't left my lips since I bought it about a month ago.

I feel like this definitely doesn't get enough hype as I haven't heard of many people talking about them. The thing I like about it is that it's really long lasting but doesn't feel cakey on the lips and if you do want to change up your lip colour during the day it's easy to get off and isn't stuck there like some liquid lipsticks.

Matte lipsticks are literally my favourite thing and you can't really get any more matte than this. Annoyingly we don't have a Sephora in the UK but if you get the chance to head to a Sephora whilst abroad I would 100% recommend getting one if you love a long lasting matte lip like myself. I'm dying to get more shades!

Lipstick is super important to me as I wear it everyday without fail and I feel naked without it so I'm always looking out for new ones to try. I've got my eye on the Stila liquid lipsticks that I've seen people talking about and I currently have a Kylie Jenner lip kit on the way which I am ridiculously excited about. I got so lucky with that as I clicked on twitter just as she tweeted to say they were on sale so straight in my basket it went!!! I will be doing a post about it when it arrives to see if it lives up to the high expectations.

Liquid lipsticks have become my new favourite thing. If you have any to recommend please comment below as I'd love to know.

Lush Sale Haul

Snow Fairy set x 2

Butter bear bath bomb set

So I'm a sucker for Lush products as are many others. I got a few Lush bits for Christmas which you can see here and I decided to take a look online at the sale as there was nothing left instore when I looked. So this is what I managed to get.

I love the scent of snow fairy so grabbed two of these little boxes which were half price at £4 to keep my obsession going for as long as possible. I've never used 'fun' before which comes in the box with Snow Fairy. On the website it says "A 4-in-1 product, this gentle product can be used as a solid shampoo, bubble bar, soap, or even to play with" - how cool is that. Definitely going to be making fun things in the bath with it like the child I am haha.

In the Butter Bear set you get 6 bath bombs that come in this lovely tin which will be great to re-use afterwards to store my bath bombs in and it was such a bargain at £7.50!!

Did you manage to get anything in the Lush sale?

Mini Beauty Haul

Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser

Superdrug Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream

Caudalie Set

Sephora Liquid Lipstick

I can't go a month without buying any beauty so I thought I'd do a quick round up of what I've bought this month so far.

TheOutnet.com started selling beauty for a limited time over Christmas and this Caudalie set was such a great deal. It's the same price (£22) as 75ml mask that you get in the pack except you get 2x 25ml masks for that price too. I've never actually tried anything from Caudalie before, so I really wanted to give it a try.

I popped into Superdrug and bought these two items from their Vitamin E range as they were buy one get one half price so I got both for around £6 - so good! The hot cloth cleanser comes with a muslin cloth and it's a great dupe for Liz Earle cleanse and polish and a fraction of the price. I'm really enjoying both products so far. The night cream smells of coconut and is really nourishing and so cheap at £2.99. 

My new lippy is from Sephora. My sister rang me from Copenhagen to say she was in Sephora and if I wanted something - obviously I did! I've heard people talk about the liquid lipsticks so wanted to give them a try. I asked for a dark red so she picked me this one up and I loveeee it. It's fast becoming my favourite. The only thing I would say is that it can be a bit sticky on the lips at first but once it dries it's okay, it also has great staying power. 

What beauty bits have you been buying?

Beauty Haul

 

Rimmel Kate Moss 107 lipstick

Lush Snow Fairy shower gel

Collection lasting perfection concealer in fair

Younique pencil eye liner in Perfect

Lush Candy Mountain Bath Bomb

Aussie hairspray

Aussie mega shampoo

Aussie mega conditioner

 

I've picked up a few new beauty bits this month that I thought I would share with you.

 

I've finally got my hands on the collection concealer after everybody in the Youtube world constantly raving about it so I decided to finally give it a try and why not at just over £4.

 

I went into Lush to buy a bath bomb and went for candy mountain - it literally smells incredible. I also saw Snow Fairy and had to give that a try to. Everything pink is a winner in my book.

 

Every autumn I have to re-buy Kate Moss 107 and I bought a pencil eyeliner as I want to get back into wearing it on my water line. I also bought some new Aussie products as they smell soooo good.

Everyday Make-Up Look

Base - Maybelline Baby Skin instant fatigue blur

Concealer - Clinique All About The Eyes

Contour - MAC matte bronzer 

Blusher - Clinique Cheek Pop in Peach Pop 

Highlight - BECCA in Moonstone

Brows - Anastasia Beverly Hills tinted browl gel in Granite

Eyeliner - Kat Von D tattoo liner in Trooper

Eyeshadow - Soft peach all over and Morroco in the crease and outer corner

Mascara - Younique 3D fiber lash www.fabulashed.com

Lips - MAC - Velvet Teddy

So this is pretty much my everyday make-up look for work/the weekends. I never wear foundation so I just contour and lightly apply bronzer all over my face for colour. I currently couldn't live without my ABH world traveller eye pallette - I shocked myself when I fell in love with the browny/orange shade that is Morroco - it's a shade I would never dreamt of wearing before and now I am wearing it everyday as it's perfect for A/W. Teamed with a nude lip and a stroke of eyeliner I am good to go.

If you use any of these products on a daily basis I'd love to know your thoughts.

Sephora Haul

 

Luckily I was fortunate enough to go back to New York for the second time with work in the space of a few weeks, so of course this called for another Sephora splurge...

 

Anastasia Beverley Hills limited edition world traveller palette

I saw this online before I went back out to New York and I just loved the colours, and seeing them in store maybe me fall in love with it even more, there is no way I could've come home without it. Morroco and Intense Gaze are actually my favourite shades so far which shocked me as I'm usually a goldy/brown shimmery girl (I'm talking UD Naked 2). It's been so nice playing around with the different colours and to try new colours out on my eyes.

 

Becca highlight powder in Moonstone

I really wanted to get the Becca x Jaclyn Hill champagne pop highlighter but of course it was sold out, so I settles for this instead and I love it!

 Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

After this being raved about on Youtube I really wanted to buy it and give it a try. I've used it twice so far and I'm not completely sold that it's as amazing as everybody makes out, It's not as black as I would like it seems to take a few coats to get it really black.

I'd love to know your thoughts if you have any of the above products, especially the Kat Von D tattoo liner.

BEAUTY - Superdrug 3 for 2

Something I don't do very often is talk beauty but it's something I've decided I'm going to post about more. After hearing and seeing such good things about certain Rimmel Kate Moss pieces I decided to pop to my local Superdrug and purchase them. I'm not one for buying make-up from Boots or Superdrug but if I know a product is good then I'm more than happy to as just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's a good product.  So I purchased Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick in shade 108 (£5.49) and the Kate Moss eyeshadow stick in Rose Gold (£4.49). All make-up was on 3 for 2 so I also got Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Fatigue blur primer in rose gold (£7.99) as I never wear foundation unless I'm going for a night out so I wanted to get something to perk my skin up.

I tried all three of the products out for the first time the other day and I was really impressed.

The eyeshadow stick - I think it's a gorgeous wearable colour and it has great lasting power. It also works well as a base under other gold eyeshadows.

The lipstick - I usually only use/buy MAC lipsticks but I do love this one as it's a great price and the colour is perfect for this season. It does bleed a tiny little bit but nothing you can't live with and it doesn't last as long as my MAC lipsticks but I'm still impressed and it's definitely become my go to.

The primer - the picture above doesn't really capture the rose tone that well, sorry about that. It claims  it "instantly smoothes for even-looking tone and texture" and "skin looks refreshed and revitalised" I agree that it does do those things and it makes my skin feel really silky and smooth. 

Have you got any of these products? If so, what do you think of them?
