My Mac Stash

I'm not one of those gals with hundreds of mac products lined up row after row but the few I do have I really do like.
Mineralize skin finish in soft and gentle- I use this when I go out and I want to have a natural looking highlight when the sun hits my cheekbones (or not as the case may be considering I live in England), the shimmer in this isn't overwhelming and doesn't look like I have just smeared my face in a pot of glitter, can't complain there!
Lipstick in Lady Danger- This orange toned red lippy makes me squeal a little inside every time I apply this, it can make my measly thin lips look a little less measly and I am ever so grateful for that. Paired with a simple eye look and a flawless base you're on to a winner with this one.
Lipstick in Crème Cup- Not going to lie here, this is probably my least favourite product from mac purely down to my skin tone. I have heard great reviews about this shade of lipstick from girls with lighter skin tones and how fabulous of a nude this is. But personally my skin is too dark to pull this off and so I dab it on as a sheer nude wash of colour and I'm satisfied with how that looks.
Studio fix concealer- This creamy concealer is great for under the eyes or covering blemishes, it isn't too cakey and the colour (NW30) matches my skin perfectly. The coverage of this is incredible, which when trying to cover those pesky spots is pretty important.
Lip glass in Russian red- Confession time, I was ordering some stuff online and decided that I wanted to try out the Russian red lipstick, so happily I ordered my lipstick and patiently awaited its arrival, however I totally didn't realise that I had in fact ordered the Russian red lip glass instead of lipstick. Initially I was pretty disappointed but after trying this out I realised that it was actually probably a blessing, this is a sheer true red non-sticky lip gloss and applied over a bold lip makes it look that tad bit more subtle and I just think it looks really flattering- personally I think that red lip glosses are underrated but they can definitely create some really beautiful looks when combined with the right products.

The Shampoo That Saved My Hair

Image
Well that title sounds rather dramatic doesn't it! I'll give you a bit of background info about my hair, its all round difficult to manage, my ends get extremely dry if I don't take good care of them, my roots get extremely oily about 10 minutes after washing (only a slight exaggeration) and my scalp if stripped only slightly too much will begin to flake, how lovely.. So I find it very difficult to keep it looking clean, shiny and healthy, hence why I am automatically drawn to brands which I have tried and tested and know work. However a couple of weeks ago my shampoo of choice which I had been using for about 2 months (L'Oreal EverStrong) had ran out and on my dash to boots it was no where to be found. My mother picked up the Herbal Essences combo which names slips my mind at this moment in time, but it is in a pink bottle. I gave this a go as it looked okay and I had no other options but it completely ruined the state of my hair, after washing I found that my hai

Beauty On A Budget- Naked 2 Alternative

Image
         Like the look of Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette but not loving the price tag? Check out the MUA undressed palette from superdrug for an astonishing £4 compared the Naked 2 which is £37. Both come with 12 different really wearable bronzy shades. The pigmentation and colour pay off is obviously going to be quite a lot better in the naked palette but for the price you pay the MUA palette is a wonderful dupe and can create some equally as great smoky eye looks. If you wanna know more about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette click  here  for my post on the full review and swatches of each shade. Okay guys, so I've decided to allocate particular days each week for posting new content, for the time being I will post 2 days a week, one day during the working week, most likely on a Wednesday or Thursday and then on a Sunday, I feel like this will give me a proper blogging routine and so you guys know when to come back and check out new content (if you would like t

A little bit of Luxury

Image
 I feel that facial oils get a bit of a bad rep for causing breakouts by being too heavy and greasy on the skin especially for people get oily patches i.e. me, surely if you use an oil on your face it will cause your skin to become uncontrollably greasy and unpleasant, right? I put my hands up and admit that I myself always steered away from applying anything too oily onto my face for fear of my skin reacting badly And God knows what happening. However after receiving this Bobbi Brown Extra face oil I cautiously braved it and I must say, I am converted. Super lightweight and non greasy and is absorbed into the skin within seconds. It doesn't fill my pores and I have experienced no nasty skin occurrences whilst using this for the last couple of weeks every night. It softens the skin and injects a burst of moisture whilst plumping (sounds a bit weird doesn't it, promise it's a good thing) out the face giving you a really healthy, natural glow. The price is the only dow
