A Little Something Extra

I know this post is coming a little late, however, although I do have things in my collection I still need to review, I wanted to take a break from the review and haul posts for a while. I hope that my favourites will have a little more variety than other peoples posts, but we shall see. I will try and go in order of how I would apply my face. Primer: This is something new that came to me at the end of the year but I can already tell its a firm favourite. I was always using the Becca Backlight Priming Filter which I still love however it wasn't doing anything to smooth texture and minimise pores, so I decided to try out a Jeffree Star recommendation, the Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer . This really smooths out my skin and creates a perfect canvas for my foundation. This is, however, a little mattifying, so it makes dewy foundations look more like a velvet finish. Foundation: Now this is a tie between two oh so expensive, but worth it, foundations. The first foundati...

I have never previously owned any Huda Beauty makeup, but when I saw these were only £25 I knew that it wasn't a bad deal. The first palette that I bough was the Mauve Obsessions. i knew for building my kit I would need more natural shades, and brides tend to wear mauves on their wedding day. After receiving the palette I have to say I was shocked to see how small the palettes are. The amount of product you get is great for the price however it is a shock when you're a palette collector like me to see them fit in the palm of your hand. The palettes also come with a mirror so these will be great for on the go, and travelling. I know that I can just keep these in my kit and they won't take up much room.

When I saw this palette my jaw dropped. I loved the idea of having a larger pan for transitions. I was gutted to find out, however, that it was a morphe website exclusive. I would have thought it would become available on the BeuatyBay website but they have only decided to stock the rest of the Chrismas items and not this. I then went on the Morphe website just to see how it would be for shipping, and it was almost the same amount as the actual palette so, I decided not to get it. I later found out they had a dedicated website for the Uk, where it was free shipping over a certain amount, and that's how I finally got it. Being from an artist background, I love how it just looks like a paint palette. The possibilities are endless with this palette and I am super excited to start using it for myself and clients. Morphe has recently decided to rebrand so everything looks so much sleeker, and the colours even have names now. The palette is more expensive ...

Ok, let's just get this out of the way, but I never used to be a bargain hunting kinda gal. I always save my money and splurge on the higher end things in life, but now I discovered something. I found an app called Depop and it's just like eBay in a way, however, I feel like the sellers are a lot more hands-on when it comes to selling and replying to comments. So as I've stated I am trying to branch out as a freelance makeup artist, so after watching/ reading a lot about becoming one I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. Luckily I do have a full-time job to start building up my collection but, I am going to have to buy quite a lot.  Since I didn't want to use anything out of my personal collection (I have LOADS of makeup that I've only used once so it's easily sanitized) I, shamefully, looked on eBay to build up my collection. While I was scrolling through couldn't get myself to buy anything because I don't trust the makeup on there, and I wou...

So if you’re a reader of my blog I often only mention high-end products. The only reason I can justify this is that I only really buy makeup online. I live in a town in Wales where the only store with any real selection of makeup is Boots, and it's not a really big store either. So the selection of makeup I have at my disposal in person is quite limited. If I am going to buy drugstore makeup, ill make an online boots order as its free delivery if you collect in store. Something that I always have in my personal makeup bag, and probably something ill buy for my freelancing kit (let me know if you want a blog post on this) is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I have been using this concealer for years and it's my go to if I need to cover blemishes as well as dark circles. The only downsize to this product is the shade range. It only comes in 4 shades and they only range to fair-medium-ish. However the pros far out-way the negatives as its only £4.99 and th...
