My Top 4 Make-Up Tools


In my opinion make up brushes and sponges are essential to creating a really flawless make up look and after testing out my fair share of make up tools I like to think I have found some treasures.

For my base I have been non stop using my Real Techniques Complexion Sponge, I find that this, when damp can buff my foundation into the skin like no other, I don't get any streaks and my foundation doesn't sit on my skin horribly. Baking with this is also super easy as it has a tapered end which gets right into the corners of your under eye area. I now have 4 of these 2 which I use every day for various steps in my routine and then 2 back ups!

For contouring and bronzing I use my Real Techniques Contour Brush, this is super fluffy and the perfect size to chisel out those Kim K cheekbones, almost! I haven't found a brush better than this for bronzing up my face and adding glow into my cheeks.

Using my Sixplus concealer brush to blend in my concealer create a flawless effect, it's the perfect shape and side and density to work concealer in anywhere on the face and I just love love it! I got this in a set from Amazon (Similar here) which was about £6 for 9, what a bloomin bargain! and I can honestly say it is so worth the price and more!

The do it all eyeshadow brush Zoeva Luxe Soft Crease Brush/ 221. This is a serious dupe for Mac's 217 blending brush, it can pack shadow onto the lid and blends it out seamlessly. The bristles are amazingly soft and I just find this my go to brush when working with any kind of eyeshadows.

What are your top beauty tools?

Lots of love,

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

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

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
