Oops I did it again, I spent money I didn't have..

Mm I love shopping! Recently I have been spending monies and bought a few things so I thought I would show you!

First up is boring and its the Cutex ultra cleansing nail polish remover. I bought this from Superdrug because I ran out of nail polish remover (obviously) and this was on offer to £1.50 odd or something like that so I thought I'd pick it up and it was in the 3 for 2 nails offer. This is weird but I love smelling my nails after I have taken my nail polish off because it doesn't leave that horrible alcoholy smell that a lot of nail polish removers leave. It has multifruit acid, green tea extract and vitamin E which gives my nails a fruity smell after I use it. It doesn't smell like that in the bottle but I have found after using it a few times that my nails don't feel as gritty and horrible like when I use other nail polish removers. 

Next is a few nail polishes from MUA (I say a few?!) Like I said, superdrug have had a 3 for 2 offer on all nail things in store so I went a bit mental with nail polishes. I really like the MUA nail polishes, they are cheap but are really good not like those nasty nail polishes you get. The colour range isn't too bad either even though I nearly have them all.. I have written a post about them which will be linked here.

Next I have more MUA products (I told you I like them) and these are there lipsticks in Nectar and Juicy. I'm not going to go into too much detail about them as I've done a post about nectar which will be linked here and a post mentioning juicy which will be linked here. Love these lipsticks, can't fault them. Can't wait to get more!

Moving away from superdrug, I made a order on Wednesday night on Fragrance Direct and my order came today.. I ordered standard delivery and they came within 2 days! Super quick! As I've mentioned may times, I am trying to get into wearing lipstick so I thought fragrance direct would be the best place as everything is reduced massively! I have wanted a nude lipstick for quite a while so I ordered 'Notting Hill Nude' by Rimmel which is a lovely nude colour and I really like this already as it's not a pale nude like some lipsticks are, it has a pink undertone to it which I really like and it was 99p. Bargain!

Again from fragrance direct I picked up some Maybelline Colour sensational lipsticks in the colours Citrus slice and Tropical pink. Now, I already have one in electric orange which I love so I thought I'd go for some more bright lipsticks. Little did I know after looking at them, they are from the 'popsticks' range which means they have no colour, they are more like a balm in a lipstick format. I am gutted! It didn't say on the website that they were the popsticks otherwise I wouldn't of gone for them. Anyway, they were only £1.99 each so it's not a big loss but at the same time, I am quite like them. The stick itself is like jelly, its see-through, its so cool! and they smell and taste amazing! I will do a review on these soon to explain more about them.

I also ordered a Essie Nail polish is 'Fear and Desire' which is a gorgeous orange for £1.99. I was debating on whether to go for the oh so raved about 'Bikini So Teeney' and 'Mint Candy Apple' but I decided to go for a orange colour because I don' have a orange nail polish. I have 1 Essie nail polish in Sugar Daddy which I got in a Glossybox however it is very sheer so I have to do a tonne of layers to get pale pink colour. I previously had a orange colour from Missguided but it smashed and I have been looking for a nice orange ever since. The colour of this is very bright. I think it would go perfectly with a plain black maxi alongside my orange lipstick by Maybelline in 'Electric Orange' with a glowing tan. Mmm.

Lastly I ordered a nail polish in 'Minted' by Revlon. I haven't got a Revlon nail polish so I thought I'd try one out and I really liked the look of this mint colour. I have a mint nail polish form Barry M but that one is getting a bit thick so it's hard to paint my nails so I picked this one up for £1.99 again from Fragrance Direct. 

Last but certainly not least, I picked up a top from Primark. Primark have there mid season sale on and I saw this top and I fell in love with it. It was originally £10 and was reduced to £5 and it has a gorgeous geometric type design on it and is quite thin and sheer but you could get away with not wearing a vest underneath it. The arm, bottom and neck bit and cuffed which I thought was really nice. I mainly bought it to wear for work with a black skater skirt but I would also wear it with a pair of light coloured denim jeans.

That's all I've bought recently.It won't be long for me to accumulate more things for a haul! Have you seen anything above which you like?

Summer Essentials: Lips

MUA Power Pouts - Broken Hearted, Justify, Irreplaceable

 Maybelline Colour Sensational - Electric Orange

Revlon Lip Butters - Wild Watermelon, Juicy Papaya

MUA lipsticks - Juicy, Nectar

Summer is my favourite season of the year. I love everything about it, the heat, ice creams, late nights, holidays and hiding those thick wooly jumpers and scarfs. Now in the UK, it has been extremely hot to the point where even though I love summer, the heat is being unbearable. In another country, I can deal with it but at home I want to throw myself in a freezer. 

I have previously spoken about my essential nail colours which will be linked here and I also did a guest post about my favourite summer foundation which will be linked here. Today, I am going to talk about another essential, lips!

Now if you've read my previous posts then you know that I have horrible lips so i'm not a big lippy person but I am trying to get into them. I have picked out a few of my favourite lip products for the summer time.

MUA power Pouts:

I have already done a post on these which will be linked here for a more detail but I love these. They are a lip balm which gives a subtle colour on the lips and I just love them! 

Maybelline Colour Senestional:

When I first picked this colour up I put it straight back because of the colour. It is exactly the colour what it says on the lipstick, it really is electric orange. My boyfriend persuaded me to get it as he thought it would suit my hair, skin and eye colour so I thought why not. And I always watch Zoella's you tube videos and she makes me want to wear orange lipsticks. Everyone needs a bright lipstick in the summer time as they go with pale and tanned skin. I love this. I'm not brave enough to wear it too bright so I blot it down and it is also really moisturising. 

Revlon Lip Butters:

I picked these put a few months ago and they are similar to the MUA power pouts in the sense that they are like a balm with a hint of colour. I love these, they really moisturise the lips and work as a great base if you want to apply a lipstick or gloss on top or you can build them up for a stronger colour.

MUA lipsticks:

I need to stop talking about these but I can't! I've already done a post on the colour Nectar which will be linked here and I picked up juicy yesterday to add to my collection and it is a lovely creamy neutral pink which again would go lovely with a tan.

Oo can't forget, a lip balm with an SPF in it. I always carry lip balms with me and ones with SPF in are a life savior in this weather as no one wants burnt lips, ouch!

Overall, these are the lip colours that I will be wearing in the summer and there is no doubt that I will be adding more to my collection.

What are your favourite summer lip products?

Whats in my make up bag?

Hey guys!

I've decided to take a break from doing coursework and decided to do a blog post instead about what is in my make up bag. Now I'm the type of girl that if I'm not travelling around, my make up bag is emptied into my storage as I always change my make up on a day to day basis. But, I've kept these in my make up bag in order to do a blog post about it then my make up can return to its home.

Rimmel BB cream in Light £6.99

I was in St Neots the other weekend and me and my boyfriend popped into Superdrug of which picked me up some things as they currently have a 3 for 2 offer going on. 

I was debating on whether to get some more foundation or some BB cream but I opted for the BB cream as I have 6 foundations on the go! In the summer, I don't particularly wear as much make up because I cant be dealing with heat and a face full of make up. Even though we haven't had much sun in the UK yet, its getting there so I thought why not. Now I don't know much about BB creams but this is perfect. it works as a primer, moisturiser, concealer and even though I do all those things anyway, it brightens up my face without having the cakiness of a foundation. 

MUA Pro Base fixing mist £5

I have nearly ran out of my ELF fixing mist which is nearly or older than a year old (yikes) and again, I picked this up in Superdrug on their 3 for 2 offer as I needed a new fixing mist. I love spraying this after applying my face and also spraying it before I apply my make up as I feel that it freshens up my face. Also as its half term and I have not left my bedroom or my house and I haven't been wearing make up, I spray this on my face just to hydrate it and it so makes a difference.

Collection lasting perfection concealer in Fair £4.19

This concealer is so hyped up in the beauty community and I can see why. I use this on any blemishes and under my eyes after applying foundation or even applying it if I'm quickly popping out to the shop just to hid dark circles and blemishes. seriously cannot fault this concealer, it does the job for me!

NYC pressed powder in naturally beige £1.99

Now, I picked this up again from Superdrug but a couple of months ago for days when I don't want to wear foundation, but I still want some colour. I usually wear this on top of my BB cream to get it some extra coverage when I need it as its not translucent and it has some colour in it. It's not the best powder, but it does the job.

Real Techniques expert face brush £9.99

I LOVE THIS BRUSH!! I picked this up for my birthday with my birthday money after eyeing it up for a while. I use it with all my foundations and BB creams as well as cream blush. It creates a flawless look to my make up which I love and its so easy to clean, Bonus! I cannot wait to get some more of these brushes.

Fraulein angled eyeshadow brush and powder brush £7.99

I got a set of the Fraulein brushes a couple of months ago as I needed some new ones so I bought these of eBay brand new until I get new ones. These were really inexpensive and I use the angled eyeshadow brush with my concealer under my eyes and mostly round my eyebrows after filling them in to make them stand out about more. and the powder brush, I use for powder. Simple. The quality of these brushes are not brilliant. The bristles fall out but they were cheap and they do the job at the moment until I get some more real technique brushes!

MUA mosaic blush in English rose £2.50

I love MUA as a brand. They are cheap, they have nearly everything and the quality isn't so bad. Now I'm a student so I don't have a lot of money so the cheap, the better. I love this blush as its a highlighter as well. I swirl my brush around and apply it to my cheeks and it gives me a lovely colour which isn't too bold as well as a shimmer.

Sleek blusher in flamingo £5

I received this in Aprils Glossybox and when I opened it, I was slightly pooping myself, In the pan, its such a bright and bold colour and because I'm quite pale, it looks scary. but I found using a light hand and hardly any product, I gives such a nice pop of colour with a neutral eye and lip. The pigment is incredible and for £5, you cannot complain!

Fraulin blusher brush in set £7.99

Like the powder and eyeshadow brush, the quality of these brushes are not brilliant. I like that its angles so it gives a really nice look to my face and its super super soft.

Revlon lip butters in wild watermelon £7.99

Now, I'm not a lip kinda girl. I do try to wear more lipstick and stuff but my lips are so dry and flakey, it just shows through my lipsticks. But this is sort of a tinted lip balm. It has the moisture of a lip balm and the colour of a lipstick when built up as it can appear sheer. And I use it as a ''your lips but better'' looking colour rather than building it up.

MUA power pouts in irreplaceable and broken hearted £3

Like I said before, I love MUA and there power pouts. These are dupes for the clinique chubby sticks and Revlon just bitten kissable balm stains but I don't really wear lip products so I thought why shed out that much money, when I can get a cheaper alternative? These give me the moisture of a lip balm but with colour and I love them. These are my two go to colours as the moment and I love them. 

ELF neutral eyeshadow palette £5

I love this palette as it has shimmer and matte colours which is perfect to create a gorgeous eye. I'm not very experimental with my eye make up and I wear a neutral brown eye and I find that these colours in this palette is perfect.

HD Brows palette in bombshell £19.99

I received this in a Glossybox last year and I use it everyday. I love it. I use this to fill my brows and its the prefect colour for them. I have deep brown hair but my eyebrows are quite light so I have to fill them in to match but I don't like to make it look obvious that they are filled in and this palette does just that.

Natural collection clear mascara £1.99

I use this clear mascara to set my eyebrows in place so they don't budge. Theres not really much I can say, it does the job. 

Rimmel extra super lash mascara £5

I love this mascara. It coats all my eyelashes and separates them and lengthens them and the more coats you do, the better volume it gives. And its so easy to take of. I have a back up of it already for when I run out.

Benefit they're real mascara £9.50

I did a blog post about this which I will link here so I won't got into too much detail about it. I love that it separates my lashes and builds them up really nice and I use this after my rimmel mascara and I love it. apart from that its so hard to take off. I do not like that. 

Avon glimmer stick in dark brown £6

I get this the other day in Marie Claire magazine and I use it to fill in my eyebrows on the end where its hard to apply powder to make them look stronger but I have to use a light hand otherwise my eyebrows look weird as its a bit too dark for my brows. But nay mind, I like it. 

MUA intense eye pencil in brown £1

The quality of this pencil is not brilliant as it smudges on my eyes and doesn't give a lot of colour but i only really wear it when I'm going for a dark brown smokey eye and I use it on my lashline and smudge it in. I'm not a big eyeliner wearer so it doesn't really bother me about the quality of it but it does the job. 

MUA eyebrow pencil in blonde £1

I don't use the pencil side of this but the brush end of it. I picked it up before starting work one Sunday as my eyebrows were a bit of a mess and it does the job, Its not the best but it tidies them up.

So that it what is in my make up bag, I hope you enjoyed this post.

Whats in your make up bag?
