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.

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.

February Beauty Favourites

Thought February I have found some new beauty favourites but have also rediscovered some old favourites of mine! Starting with my new favourites I just have to mention the Too Faced Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette again! I am in love with this palette, I love the packaging, the smell and of course the shadows. They have such a good pigmentation and blend like a dream, I love all the colours and there are so many different looks which you can create with this palette. To go along with the Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette I have been loving the Sweet Peach Glow Palette, I've been loving highlighters sooooo much lately I just can't get enough of them. I love having a peachy glow to my skin and the Sweet Peach Glow does exactly that for me! Moving onto another highlighter palette I have been loving the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette  before I got this palette I had never tried anything from Becca, but this palette has lived up to the hype! 

Moving onto another new favourite of mine which is the Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation, I have been finding that my skin has been really dry lately and this foundation has been perfect. It doesn't cling to dry patches and gives a lovely dewey finish to the skin whilst still adding a medium coverage. Now onto more of a rediscovery is the Bourjois Healthly Mix Concealer, in which they have recently re formulated this concealer and changed the packaging of it and I much prefer the packaging this way than it being in a squeeze type of tube. 

Moving onto another new favourite of mine which is the NYX Lingerie Lipstick, my favourite shades are 04&08 which are the top 2 shades featured in the picture above. These are really long wearing and aren't to drying on the lips. They also have an amazing range of shades and I really want to try more!

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

Favourite High End Eye Shadow Palettes

Today I thought I would share some of my most favourite high end eye shadow palettes, you guys should let me know if you would like me to do a drugstore version on this post! Starting off with the newest eye shadow palette which I recently picked up whilst in Barcelona is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, I have only had this for just under a month now but I can already say it has become a firm favourite of mine. The first thing I noticed about this palette was the smell, it smells so good you could eat it (although I'd recommend not doing that lol). The shadows in this palette are so creamy and blend beautifully. One of the main thing I love about this palette is that you can go for really natural looks or you can really build the shadows up and go for a really intense look. I use this palette so much whether it is just for my everyday makeup or nights out!

The Urban Decay Naked Palettes are some of my most loved palettes that I own! I still need to get the original one to add to my collect but I love the ones I have. I own Naked 2, Naked 3 and Naked Smokey. I always end up going back to my naked palettes, the colour payoff is amazing and they last ages on the eye without creasing and are just so pretty! If their is anyone who is starting out with makeup and wants to make a high end purchase I would recommend the naked palettes to everyone!

The last palette I'm going to mention in this post is The Balm's Nude Tude, as you can see I love a good neutral palette so this goes well with that. I love the shades in this palette and they are all so wearable and I am able to get use out of each shade. The shadows are really pigmented and so easy to blend!

Thank-you for reading this post, I hope you have enjoyed it! What are your favourite eye shadow palettes? Make sure you let me know. See you next time!
