Milani Cosmetics

I have wanted to try some products from Milani Cosmetics for a very long time, in the UK it is hard to find Milani products so I ordered these from Beauty Crowd. I was very happy to finally get my hands on some Milani products!

I got a Colour Statement Lipstick in the shade Nude Creme, it's a pinky nude which applies beautifuly and lasts ages once on the lips. The lipstick has a sheen to it but isn't at all glossy it is more of a satin finish. It looks lovely with a smokey brown eye and its a very everyday lipstick that is easy to pull off.

I also got a  Rose Powder Blush in the shade Romantic Rose, these blushers are so pigmented you need to tiniest amount of product to get a good colour pay off. The texture is really smooth and buttery so the blusher applies very smoothly to the skin and last ages. I also picked up a Illuminating face powder in the shade Beauty's Touch, I use this to highlight the tops of my cheek bones it comes out as a pinky highlight once all the shades are swirled together. Both the blusher and illuminator are very pretty to look at and I almost don't want to use them and ruin their prettiness.

Drugstore Favourites | Collab With Life of Liv

I am finally sharing some of my favourite drugstore products with you. This is a collab with the lovely Liv from http://lifeeoflivv.blogspot.co.uk in her post she is sharing some of her favourite high end products so make sure you check out Liv's post as well!

I am going to start off by mentioning one of my favourite drugstore brands which is Soap and Glory they have so many amazing products and everyone is always raving about their products. I love the One Heck of a Blot powder which is a translucent mattifying powder. This powder is my holy grail it is literally the only powder I need, it makes everything stay in place all day! Also from Soap and Glory is the SuperCat eyeliner, I have used this eyeliner for months now and I am still loving it! It is so easy to use and so pigmented and stays in place all day and doesn't smudge all over the place like a lot of eyeliners tend to do.

I can't do a drugstore favourites post without mentioning the Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, I have done a whole post raving about how good this contour kit is so I won't blabber on about it too much but it is the perfect contour kit if you are just starting out with makeup or are on a budget. It is so pigmented and blends beautifully! Everything you want in a contour kit right?

I also have to mention the Maybelline Colour Tattoos everyone seems to love this and I do too! These are such an affordable cream eye shadow which are insanely pigmented and so easy to blend and use. They come in loads of different colours as well so there is one for every look.

Lastly I need to mention my favourite lip product from the drugstore. I have always loved the Bourjois Colour Boost chubby sticks. They are so moisturising and have an amazing range of colours! My favourite shade has got to be '07 Proudly Naked' it is the perfect everyday pinky nude.

Make sure you remember to check out Liv's high end beauty favourites which will be up over on her blog! http://lifeeoflivv.blogspot.co.uk 

New Found Loves

So I have recently picked up a few new makeup items and I love all of these items so much!

Barry M Speedy Quick Dry Nail Paint
I was browsing around in boots and saw these new nail polishes from Barry M and I found it so hard to pick a few shades to try out as all of the shades were so pretty and right up my street! I decided to get the shades 'Pit Stop' which is a light grey colour it is very similar to Nails Inc 'Porchester Square', I also got the shades 'Eat My Dust' which is a lovely light blue shade which is great for spring/summer, the third shade I picked up was 'Lap of Honour' which is a pastel lilac which is also lovely for spring/summer. These polishes do need about 2/3 coats as they are very light but I am amazed with how quickly they dry. I think everyone is always up for a nice quick drying nail polish.

Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow
I have been hearing loads about Kiko lately so I finally decided to check it out. I pick up two of these cream eyeshadow pencils and I can know see what all the hype is about. I love how you can just quickly run these over you eyelid and blend out with a brush or finger and your done! I have two shades a lighter shade which is '07' this is a shimmery champagne colour which really helps to brighten up the eyes. The second shade I have is a dark brown with gold shimmer running through it. It looks really nice on its own or blended through the crease, the shade number for this is '04'.

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush
I have had my eyes on these Max Factor blushers for a while now and I finally picked them up on one of my trips to boots. I have the shades '05 Lovely Pink' which is a light pink with gold shimmer running through it, these blushers are shimmery but not over the top I tend not to use a highlighter when using these. The second shade I have is '10 Nude Mauve' this shade is like a peachy/nude glow it looks lovely on the skin and adds a glow which would look lovely with a tan!

Hope you enjoyed todays post. Have you found any new items that you love? Let me know!

Loréal Paris Color Riche Lipsticks

Don't you just love it when you find great lipsticks without an expensive price tag, look no further these lipsticks from Loréal Paris are amazing and I don't know why I hadn't tried them sooner. They retail at £6.99 each which is amazing! I have six shades from pinky nudes to a berry red. I have one matte shade which is 430 - Mon Jules and the rest of the shades I have are a more glossy finish but not super glossy.

The three lighter shades I got are 136 - Flamingo Elegance which is a pink/peach shade which is great for an everyday shade, 632 - Greige Amoureux is a lovely pinky/nude which little bits of glitter in it. It adds a lovely gleam to the lips. The last "pinky" shade I got is 431 - Fuchsia Déclaration this is a deeper pink which also have a few flecks of glitter in it.

The three darker shades I got are 703 - Oud Obsession which it a dark brown nude I don't really know when or how I am going to wear this but I thought it was an interesting shade to have in my collection. I don't really have many red lipsticks so I got one and it's in the shade 364 - 16 Place Vendrome I really like this red as it isn't a bright in your face red it is muted which I really like! Lastly I have the shade 430 - Mons Jules which is a matte berry shade, I think this is one of my favourite shades as I don't really have anything else like it!
