November Favourites!

Rimmel Kate-107

Maybelline The Falsies- Black Drama

I bought near the beginning of November as I needed a new mascara after my Maybelline Colossal running low and I thought I would take a break from my favourite and try out the famous Falsies that has been much raved about. I genuinely really like it, I still prefer the Colossal don't get me wrong but I do see why it is much loved and will buy this again; I got this in Black Drama because I always like my lashes to be as dark as possible.  

Philosophy Hope in a Jar moisturiser

I was gifted this after subscribing to Company magazine and my original subscription gift had run out of stock, so they gave me a different gift worth the same price instead; I'l tell you what I'm glad they did I love this! It's the 60ml pot which isn't the biggest available but it is worth about £34! It's such a lovely texture and is so light, you don't need a lot either so it lasts and is definitely worth the money, oops may have a new money draining addiction.

Sleek Antique Blush

I have already reviewed this product here but I continue to use it and it is so lovely for this time of year; being limited edition I hope I don't use this up to fast!

Barry M Berry Cosmo Nail Polish

This too has already made my rave list and I have raved about it over here, it is just perfect for autumn, is a gorgeous colour and it lasts a good amount of time too.

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 107

I haven't yet mentioned this since I bought it but I have worn it a lot! I haven't really worn lipstick for that long but for some reason I feel so comfortable wearing this even though it is bright. I just love it and think it can really complete your make up.

Stipple Brush

I bought this off eBay quite a while ago in a set and never really used it much, but I have been using it with my Sleek blush as it is so pigmented and this picks up the perfect amount of product without over doing it. It has super soft bristles and yes I know it needs a wash I'm on it ok.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Creme 477 Black Cherry

I had been looking for a lipstick a bit darker than my Rimmel one but still a plummy red colour that didn't completely wash out my pale skin, which I thought would be a tough job, but then I found this! I had looked up berry lipsticks and ones people recommended and this one popped up quite a lot, so I thought I'd give it a go. It is so lovely and so pigmented, it can be dabbed on for a lighter wash or put on for full colour, although I love this lippy I do find if I'm not careful it can become quite dark with a few layers and can look a bit much for everyday, however this could be great for an evening out so just a bit of trial and error and care and it will look gorgeous! (oh and it also makes you teeth look whiter, bonus!)

Collection Colour Lash Mascara- Clear

I know this isn't a great colour and is looking a bit grubby now but it is brilliant for eyebrows rather than lashes! Now personally I've never understood the use of clear mascara and never found it's done much on mine personally but it is great for keeping my brows tamed! I don't fill in my eye brows as I'm fair and quite pale so I don't think it suits me, although it could be my lack of skill, still this does a brilliant job of keeping them neat and is super cheap too.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my favourites of last month.

Makeup Brushes Have Arrived!

So I thought since I want to start getting in beauty more i should invest in a make-up essential; make-up brushes. I seen rave after rave about Real Techniques brushes and have even gone into shops and looked at them, but since I don't have a ton of money and beauty isn't the most important thing priority wise at the moment I couldn't justify forking out that amount for each brush, however much I wanted to. So I scavenged around website such as ELF, but found myself in the end on eBay! Surprisingly I found this great  company that sell make-up brushes at an incredibly cheap price range; admittedly they come from Hong Kong so they take a while to get to you but with FREE p+p why the hell not?! 

I got this pack of 5 brushes for £12.39 which is an absolute steal in my opinion. In this set I got: a blush brush, a stippling brush, an angled foundation brush, a buffing brush and a flat powder brush (these brushes didn't come under these names, or with any names at all so this is just my interpretation). 

I only got these today so have not had a chance to use all of them yet however I have tried out the buffing brush and it works great, they are all artificial bristles so are not real hair; this allows you to use less product as it does not get absorbed by the brush. Theses brushes are very soft and smooth on your face, which I'm guessing would be good to use on sensitive skin as well (I don't have that sensitive skin). The handles are nice to hold in use and also allow you to stand them when not in use so they don't get damaged. 


Overall I think these brushes are a bargain for the money paid and do the job really well. As a novice with anything make-up brushy these have made a good first impression and I'm glad that these were my first investment.
