February Finds

I love Miss Dior Cherie. But cost wise, I hate it! £30+ for 30ml. Ridiculous.

I heard Next made a perfume that was said to be identical to it. I heard correct!

Introducing Next, Diamonds. Its fabulous, the bottle is pretty, and the best thing? 100ml...£12!! Bargain I think you'll agree!!

I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Next, you saviours you!

Another recent purchase is Maybellines Dream Satin Liquid foundation. I have tried a few brands of foundation recently, Mainly the Bourjois ones, but found them either really drying or really greastastic!

I find this a lovely balance, It doesnt grease, and it never dries funny. It is blendable, a perfect shade for my skin, and was on offer in boots for £6! Bargain!

Another find this month is Garniers Complete Cleansing Milk. I use this at night to remove all traces of make up. It works really well on removing my mascara (Collection 2000's Big Fake, which is notoriously difficult to remove).

The best feature of this remover, is how soft it leaves my skin afterwards. Its as if I've just cleansed, toned and moisturised all in one go! Its fabulous, and with such a decent sized bottle, I shall enjoy using this every night for a long time to come!

Crown Brushes

I love Crown Brushes. I think they're super quality and fabulous prices.

I own a few already, mainly eyeshadow ones. So i chose two face ones for my next purchases.

These are from the badger series (my fave!). They are soft, lightweight and small enough for a medium make up bag.

I would definately choose 4 of these brushes over 1 mac brush. I think these were around £5 each. Whereas macs can be more than £30 at times.

The flat bronzer is fab for contouring the cheeks and temples. The angle brush i use for highlight, as its smaller than your average blusher brush, and gets just where you need it to!

Perfect!

Elf Palette

I got this Elf palette for Christmas. Its lush, I love it.

Okay so I might not use ALL the colours, but its nice to know if you want a 'different' colour, there's plenty to choose from!

I'm not sure how much this is on the website, but its worth buying i'd say! :)

Mac

My new quad :) I love it, and I love the new packaging too. I wish the 15 pan pallete was see thru too!

My colours of choice were...Cranberry, Sumptuous Olive, Quarry and Brule.

I love Brule as an all over base, Cranberry is fab to blend with a shimmery bronze/brown. Sumptuous olive is great all over or just in the crease. and Quarry is lovely in the crease, with retrospeck in the inner corner

I also recently got Macs Painterly Paint pot...and the hype is true...

'I dont know how i ever lived without it' :)

Favourite Products right now...

I havent been doing much cosmetics shopping recently, Mainly funding issues, and also i didnt really seem to have run out of anything.

However, all in one week i ran out of my Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation AND My Rimmel SexyCurves mascara! So off to superdrug i went..

The first of my purchases was a well thought out buy, no impulses here. I had seen this foundation advertised on a few blogs, and wanted to try it myself.
I have to say i'm very inbetween with this. It is very drying and if not applied quickly, can go blotchy and really really unsightly.

But if applied well, this can be a perfect foundation. Its not at all greasy like all the other bourjois foundations i have tried. Plus its matte, so not much need for powder . The colour on me is perfect (52 Vanilla) and i love the packaging.

I'll try post some piccies of this when i can.





Next up i got a product Sam from Pixiwoo was raving about on her latest vid. Sleeks Rose Gold blush.
I love this. Its so shimmery and loaded with colour, you need very little on the brush. Big fan, I hope they bring more of these out!

I also got Collection 2000's Big Fake mascara. Mainly because of the price, but also because i LOVE a huge wand! I used to love love love Diorshow mascara because of the huge brush, but this is even better and a fraction of the price! (£4.99!)

I love this (suprise suprise)It makes my lashes full and thick and because its Ultra Black, It makes my eyes really stand out.

I can never have enough H&M Nail polishes...i could rave about these to anyone! I love the colours and the wands and the packaging...and the opaqueness of them!
They are fab! Although...the price has raised recently as im sure they never used to be 2.99!

I love a quick fix, and when i being lazy and cant be bothered to cleanse my face at the sink, i use this water make up remover with cotton pads. Its fabulous for removing all traces of face and eye make up, and its sensitive so it doesnt make my skin sting!..fabulous :)

Lastly i bought these earrings from River Island, a bit of a treat..i love :)
