Maybelline Color Tattoo- Permanent Taupe

Eye shadows are my weakness, i seem to be forever buying neutral eye shadows. I swear I have at least 5 of the same shade of brown. So why not buy another one?

This is my second Color Tattoo (I also have the shade Pink Gold) and this doesn't disappoint. It is so simple to use, perfect to take on holiday or travel. I don't use a brush, I just use my fingers to blend it near the corners of my eye or all over my eye lid. It does make a really nice simple and subtle smokey eye.

What I love about this is that it is not your classic neutral, it is a cool grey which goes perfect with most skin tones. It also lasts all day which is great!

Have you tried it? What did you think?

Maybelline Colour Tattoo -Pink Gold 65

This is very exciting for me, not only because it is the first of December  (chocolate!) but also because this is my first Maybelline Colour Tattoo.

I got the shade Pink Gold-65 and it was £4.99.

The packaging feels amazing and very hardy, however i wouldn't want to drop it as it is made of glass.

This is a champagne colour with a bit of shimmer, so very spectacular.

 The good thing about these it that you don't need to use a brush to apply it, you just spread it over your lid with your finger.

 It lived up to what everyone said and stayed on all day! I even went swimming and it was still on. I cannot explain how long lasting it it - its that good. I cannot believe i haven't tried this before, but now I have i will have to hoard some more of them.

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara

It is nearly the end of September, how fast has that gone? We are very close to the below zero winter, time to wrap up warm (a coat post soon!).

I realised i have not written an mascara post in the last couple of weeks and this has been my favourite mascara for the past month.

This is retailed at £9.00 from Boots, so it is not the cheapest but isn't too expensive. I didn't realise until i bought it but it is in shade brown, which actually i like a lot!

 The brush is quite short and flexible, it is one size so the bristles are the same distance apart.

It doesn't form clumps, which i obviously a big plus for you mascara lovers and it makes my lashes huge. My eyelashes are quite long anyway, but this makes my eyelashes up to 3x longer.

As you can see below it doesn't look brown but it is a lovely lengthening mascara.

August Favourites!

This month has been a great month for me and it went by so quickly! We are getting close to winter/autumn time now, so i thought i would share my favourites this month. Alot of these have been reviewed so i will link them in this blog!

First is this Simple 'Kind to eyes' make up remover. I love this so much, it is very inexpensive and it gets the job done. I don't use this on the rest of my face, i don't recommend that either, but for just eyes it works wonders.

 I love smelling nice but don't like to spend alot, so this Natural Collection Vanilla Body Spray was the answer! I also have the Lemon&Lime and Mango&Papaya but this is my favourite. It is so sweet and it just makes you smell super yummy!

How could i not include the Baby Lips from Maybelline? In a nutshell they are cheap, moisturising and well pigmented. My review explains more -link-.

 Another lip product i have mentioned before is the Max Factor Elixir Lipstick in English Rose. It is a beautiful colour and lasts all day! My review explains more-link-.

I have been wearing this nearly all month Liz Earle Sheer skin tint and it is such a lovely tinted moisturiser. On holiday or in the sun you don't want to put to much on your face just something light so this is perfect!

My review explains more-link-.

 I bought this nail polish a couple weeks ago and been wearing it ever since (i am a sucker for pink!)! It is 025 Strawberry Fix by Rimmel, its last really well and has a nice consistency. I had not even realised this, but it has a scent which smell really fruity :).

 Last but not least is this moisturiser from Garnier, it is the 7 day hydrate in Mango! All i can say is that it makes my legs feel AMAZING when i put it on, really soft! For me the flavour/smell doesn't do anything i feel that they are all the same?

What are your favourites this month?

Back to School Make Up Basics

Depending where you live you may be at School already or going to start soon. I am going back in September so i thought i would do a 'Back to Basics' Make-up for school. Some of you may be you teens just starting out or you just love reading posts like this- which ever i hope this helps.

Also there are alot of video/posts out there which don't offer the right price range, young teens generally cannot spend tons (eg £36.00 on a foundation is NOT happening), so i have put some very cheap products here for you!

For foundation i have 2 which are absolutely amazing the Rimmel Wake Me Up  foundation, this retails for around £8 at Boots. I love this as it is medium coverage (great for spots) and give a light shine which makes you look fresh and awake. I also have the Benefit Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation which retails around £20, i have put this in here as i think this is not too expensive if it works.

If you have oily skin, a powder is a necessity. So i have this MUA pressed powder for £1, great value and stops you looking shiny. If you don't need powder, don't buy it but it is a nice touch as well.

I have 2 concealers here, Rimmel Hide The Blemish concealer and Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. One is a doe foot applicator and the other is a stick, so which ever you think works best for you you can decide. The give the same coverage and both retail around £4-£5.

For blush i really like Natural Collection Peach Melba (£1.99 at boots), it gives a lovely bit of colour without being too over the top for school.

For bronzer i like this duo from Miss Sporty Ohh So Tan! It has a highlighter and a bronzer which have both good pay offs. It is  £2.99 at boots.

If you do want to wear eye shadow i recommend this MUA Heaven & Earth Palette, it has such lovely colours for a subtle eye.

I have 2 Collection mascaras Collection pump up the volume (£3.99) and Collection Super Size (£2.19), these are both great mascara's and do their job. I recommend collection if you are just starting out with Make Up.

For lips i have Maybelline Baby Lips, Clinique Chubby stick in Mega Melon and a Flormor Lipstick in shade 202. These are all slightly different colours for different skin types but natural.

That is it for my 'Back to Basics' School version! Comment below about anything you love!

Maybelline Baby Lips!

This product has been reviewed and raved about it the beauty community, so obviously i had to try it! It is £2.99 at Boots here, but i got this for 2.99 euros as i am on holiday. A great bargain for me!

The flavour/colour i bought was Pink Punch (as it was pink!), one great thing about this product is that it has a flavour so doesn't taste horrible in the mouth! The packaging is super cute (they have other colours as well) and it seems pretty durable.

 On this lips is seems very creamy and moisturising while adding colour. When looking it the mirror it honestly looks like a lip gloss, but on the lips it is so soft and moisturising.
The colour is long lasting, i think you would only need to touch up once in a day.
I think the only let down for me is that when i think of 'Baby Lips' i think of a super light natural colour. I feel like i did not get it with this product as it is quite pigmented, but don't get me wrong i love it now, though initially i was disappointed.

This is a picture of it on my lips, bear in mind this is a very thin layer! You definitely can get a MUCH bolder colour than this.
