A Little Something Extra

So, here comes part two of my huge beauty haul. Starting off with my order from Selfridges. This was the first order that I had made with the company and I have to say it came super quick and neatly packaged, I would really recommend shopping with them for high end make up. The first thing I popped into my basket was something that I saw all over social media, especially Instagram. This is the Jorgobé Peel Off Mask. I have large pores so I get blackheads easily and masks don't usually draw out all the dirt thats stuck in them so I opted to try this mask. I have used it a couple of times and I am in love, its a black mask with tea extracts that pulls out all the dirt. When the mask is dry you can feel all the bumps of dirt under the mask which is pretty cool. I use this in conjunction with other mask during the week and I have noticed a reduction in black heads especially around my nose area. The other items I got were the Clarins Lip Perfector which I apply under liqu...

I know I have been lacking on the post recently, I can only say that there is a good reason, and Ill be showing it on here soon.. That doesn't mean that I didn't do a little shopping on my days off however. The shopping bug hasn't really bitten me as much since I have been back home in Wales. Perhaps its the face that there are barely any shops here and I hate online shopping.  Batiste used to be one of my favorite dry shampoo brands, thats until CoLab took over. However that doesn't make them not good. When I saw that the brand recently launched some new products I was all over it. They have brought out a texturizing spray and a smoothing spray. I have thick hair that has natural volume so I don't really have any use for the texturizing, however I was in need of something with smoothing properties. So I picked up the frizz tamer. This stuff works! It lasts all day keeping flyaways .. well away, smells so good and adds shine! Highly recommend! I cave...

It isn't often that I buy a lot of high end make up in one go however I made a cult beauty order and just so happened to visit a Mac Counter the day after, so it just so happens I went all out. No regrets and that. I'll start off with the items that I got in Mac. I was only going to go there for a red lip pencil (I was only going to get are always those famous last words aren't they?) but I got a couple of extra pretty things. I got the all so raved about Mac Pro Longer Concealer in NW15. This concealer is super light which makes it perfect for under the eyes to brighten and to hide those dark circles. I have found that a whole pump is a little too much for me, even for a whole face, and I do find that I need to set it with a translucent powder as it stays tacky for a while after the initial application. Next thing I got was Macs Soft and Gentle. This was a recommendation from my friend Zoe who said that it was a perfect golden highlighter with a high impact, and...

As you might have seen in my recent haul, well in one of my most recent hauls anyway, you would have seen that I got the Illamasqua primer. It is one of the best on the market as they say. Who says that I have no clue, however they were right! I have never been a huge primer person however I do struggle in keeping my make up on through the day. If I do want longer lasting make up I go for the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation whit usually lasts all day, but sometimes I want a lighter coverage, and an even lighter feeling. The texture of this primer is like none other out there, and for this reason alone it can be understood why its a cult product. When opening the packaging you get a little spoon that you mix the primer with. It forms a jelly texture that you take a small scoop of and then apply. My technique of using this product would be to apply it onto my finger, mush it up between my fingertips and apply all over the face. Some might say just to apply it in the problem ares h...
