A Little Something Extra

As I have neglected to include favorites posts for a couple of months I thought I would create a post about my autumn faves. I have recently discovered that I have been in a make up rut. Ive basically been going for the same kind of look. Full coverage, bronze lids and a 90's tone lips. When Mac came out with their Vamplify Collection I knew that I wanted to make a cheeky purchase, however by the time I actually had the chance to go to my nearest Mac counter the original shade that I wanted was sold out, and even sold out online. However I had come all the way there and I wanted to get some other shade. The girl at the counter gave me this mauve raspberry brown shade gloss called Tuned In. I really like this if I don't really know what to wear that day and its a really quick and easy gloss to throw on and have it last for hours. Another lip product that I tip my hat to are the Rouge Edition Velvets from Bourjois Paris. These ar great drugstore liquid lipsticks. They h...

When Bourjois came out with a new nail polish I had to investigate... and I had the good instinct to do so. These polishes are like nothing I've ever tried. They are really watery however they are super pigmented and fast drying. The first thing that caught my eye was the packaging as they are unlike anything I've seen. They have an unusual triangle bottle which at first I found difficult to hold when first trying to apply the polish, however once you get a hold of it correctly it becomes easy. It is actually super comfortable to hold compared to circular lids as it ensures no slippage. The triangular shape of the bottle also forms a circle when four polishes are put together as seen in the photo below, which I think when tied around like a bow would make a nice little gift. The colours that I picked up are shown below. There are also some suggestions if you cannot get these polishes in your local area like mine, which stock Bourjois but not their nail polish. Th...

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...
