Getting That Glow | Favourite Highlighters

I love having glowy skin so I thought I'd share with you how I get that glow, here's just a handful of some of my favourite highlighters at the moment.

Mac's Mineralise Skin Finish in the shade Soft and Gentle will always make it's way into my favourite highlighter one way or another. It adds such a lovely glow to the face and is very natural, I love using this when I don't want to be too "highlighted" (is that even a thing?!?) when I'm going for a more natural look I will definitely reach for my Mineralise Skin Finish. Another Mac product that I love for glowy skin is their Strobe Cream although I only have a sample size of this I have been loving using it under my makeup and I will be buying the full size once I've finished this little one up. It gives a lovely glow under your foundation or can be used mixed in with your foundation to make your foundation more illuminating.

I feel like I've gone on about the Sweet Peach Glow Palette from Too Faced so much lately but I just love it so much! The highlighter in this palette is amazing for giving you that peachy glow and I've been using it so much, I'm going to be so sad when I hit pan! Another highlighter palette I love is the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection, the highlighters in this palette are stunning. They are so pigmented and if you want to go all out with that glow then these are the best for it! One thing I will say is that the blushes in this palette are so pigmented so you need to use a really light hand.

Lastly, I have always loved the Watts Up Cream Highlighter from Benefit. I don'y tend to use many cream products but I love this highlighter it adds a really nice champagne glow to the skin and it really suits my skin tone.

Hope you have enjoyed todays post and I'll see you in my next one! Let me know what your favourite highlighters are!

Beauty Wishlist | Spring 2017

I always feel like my beauty wish list is never ending so I thought I'd share some of the things I've been wanting lately. As spring is just upon us there has been so many new launches from brands for they spring/summer ranges and I can say that I really want to get my hands on the new Too Faced collection. I've seen on twitter that it should be available in the UK around April time from Debenhams but for now I'll just have to wait to get my hands on it!

Too Faced Natural Love Eye Shadow Collection

As soon as I saw a sneak peak picture of this palette on Instagram I knew that I'd want it. There are 30 shades in the palette with a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters. I love Too Faced eye shadows so as soon as I saw this palette I knew I just have to get my hands on it (not like I need anymore eye shadow palettes).

Too Faced Love Light Highlighter 

Another part of the new Too Faced Collection is the Love Light Highlighters and these looks beautiful! I love highlighters they are one of my favourite makeup products and these ones of Too Faced look fab! The packaging is so cute as well.

Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow

After seeing these all over Instagram these have made their way onto my beauty wish list, I'm not usually one to go for a liquid eye shadow but these look amazing! They are so glittery and they are just what I've been after!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit Nicole Guerriero

I feel like most things on my wish list come with me seeing them on Instagram? I don't have a glow kit from Anastasia Beverly Hills in my collection and I've always wanted one and I think this would be the perfect one for me, I love the colours of the shades in this palette!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette

I was chatting about make up with one of my flatmates a few weeks ago and she showed me this palette which she had just got and its beautiful! After having a little swatch of it I knew it would be going straight onto my list. The colours are so pigmented and blend like a dream. I think I need this palette NOW!!!!

Hope you have all enjoyed todays post! Let me know whats on your beauty wish list this spring.

Spring Make Up | Peach Loving

When it comes to my go to spring make up look I always find my self reaching for peach and pink tones. So I thought I'd share some of my favourite peach and pink tones that I love for a peachy glowy look in the spring time.

I can't do a post going on about peach makeup without mentioning the Sweet Peach collection from Too Faced can I? Everyone probably already knows how much I love this palette by now and I think both the eye shadow and the cheek palette are perfect for spring. I love the whole peach eye look and glowy skin at the moment and it's perfect for spring!

I also really love using pink lipsticks in the spring time and two of my favourites are Angle and Cremecup from Mac. I love Mac lipsticks but I haven't brought any new ones in ages, so do you guys have any recommendations on ones I need? As well as pink lipsticks I also love peachy glosses and this one from Chanel is beautiful; its in the shade 179.

Hope you all enjoyed todays post and I'll see you in my next one!

Holy Grail | My Perfect Base

I feel like I have tried so many different foundations since I first started wearing foundation (starting with that weird Maybelline Mousse foundation that everyone seemed to use at school, but lets move on from that) I feel like I'm always trying out different foundations so in this post I have included the base products in which I always go back to so these are my holy grail base products!

Starting with primer, one of my holy grails which I actually forgot to photograph is the Benefit Porefessional Primer  I always end up going back to the Benefit primer, it is great for smoothing over the skin and of course filling in those pores! As well as the Porefessional I have also been loving the Mac Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage this is more of a new holy grail for me but I have been going back to this over my Benefit primer so it must be good? I love the primer from Mac as it evens out the redness in my skin and also adds a glow to my skin as it has flecks of shimmer in the primer, it is also great for helping my foundation stay on and making my foundation apply smoothly.

Finding the perfect foundation has always been something I've found hard to find, but I feel like I've found two foundations now which I will always want to have in my collection. The Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation, this foundation is very lightweight but offers a medium coverage but you can build it up to a fuller coverage which I really like. I like the way this foundation feels on my skin and the coverage it gives. Another foundation which I love is the Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation      I sometimes get really dry skin and a lot of the time foundations tend to cling to the dry patches but the Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation does not do that which is great! This foundation is a medium coverage but can be built up to create a fuller coverage. It leaves a dewy finish which I have been liking over a matte finish at the moment. I find the foundation has a long wear out of it.

I have 2 concealers which I always go back to and they are the Mac Prolong Wear and Collection Lasting Perfection. I love the Mac Prolong Wear concealer as it is so full coverage and a little goes a long way with this concealer it is great for covering blemishes and dark circles although I find it creases under my eyes but I am yet to find a concealer which does do that! For a drugstore concealer the collection lasting perfection concealer has great coverage and I usually use it to coverage any blemishes and I also use it to go round my eyebrows to make them more defined.

To set everything in place my favourite powder of all time has got to be the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot powder. I have loved this powder for years and I can't even remember how many of these I have repurchased. It helps to set everything in place whilst also making the skin matte. I still use this when I want a dewy finish buy using a light hand and adding it in places where I am likely to get to much shine.

Woooah that turned out to be a really long post! You guys should let me know in the comments what your holy grail base products are as I'm always on the look out for new products to try! Hope you enjoyed this post and I am enjoying getting into blogging again! See you soon.
