Back To School | What's in my school bag

I know i'm not going back to school, but here is what I would have in my school bag and hopefully it will help you when packing your school bag.

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette!

This palette is so much more versatile than the other naked palettes. It features colours that you can use in the daytime, you can even use this palette to do a day in to night look. Do not be scared when looking at this palette thinking that it can only be used for night time and party looks. 

I love how the colours blend together so well and the fact that there is not much fallout is great, another great thing about this palette is that they have used some colours from the other naked palettes. 

overall this is a great palette and I know it is on the pricey side but it is so worth the money.

My Foundation Collection

Hi guys me again. This is my foundation collection, I don’t have loads of foundations but I have a fair amount. So I thought that you might want to see my foundation, ones that I love and ones that I wouldn’t repurchase. I’m going to talk a little bit about each one, not in great depth or we will be here forever. I’m going to go in order of ones I like the best to the one I dislike the most.

Maybelline - Dream Satin Liquid

Have you ever imagined or dreamed about finding a foundation that has the wow factor and you cannot fault it? This is a great foundation, goes on smoothly and gives such excellent coverage, I love it. I have brought this foundation three or four times and will continue buying this product as it is remarkable. I apply after using moisturiser and primer; it is such a good product and just goes on so well. I can't recommend it enough, definitely worth it.

Avon bright start

This foundation is fantastic it is so moisturising and feels very lightweight on the skin which is great. It also stays on for a long time I also put some press powder on as I like more of a matte finish.

Collection lasting perfection

Collection lasting perfection is a 6-in-1 foundation it primes, conceals, covers, smoothes, protects and mattifies, and it provides flawless coverage and I have seen myself grabbing for this a lot lately. The only problem with this is that it has SPF; I know SPF is a good thing to have in a foundation but it’s not good if you are going to somewhere like a wedding or to prom as it flashes back in pictures but overall this is a pretty fab foundation.

Collection Naturally matte

This foundation is not particularly one of my favourites but it is a good foundation if you are having an oily day and if you are in a rush as you don’t need to put a powder on as it dries matte. It is great if you are just starting to wear makeup.

New Look Pure Colour

Personally I don’t think this is a great foundation, I don’t like the texture. It also leaves your face feeling tacky also it doesn’t have a very nice smell. It’s a shame that this is not nicer because I love new looks beauty range.

Rimmel London Wake Me Up

I’m not a fan of this foundation it’s one of the worst foundations for my skin it just doesn’t work for me. The product felt awful, cloggy and tacky, the overall finish looked tacky and cheap. It’s got poor coverage and looks so unflattering when on and looks very tacky. I will not be getting this again which is a shame as I love Rimmel’s other products.

July Beauty Favorites!!

It's nearing the end of July. So here are my beauty favorites of the month. July has been a rollercoaster of weather from great weather for sunbathing and the next making you want to grab your winter coats. I was expecting it as we do every year in the UK. I really need to go on holiday as I’m missing the sun not that we see it that much.

Urban decay Naked 2 basic

I bought this palette at the beginning of the month and have not stopped using it since. I use this palette for day looks and evening looks and I use it when travelling too it’s just a handy little palette to take anywhere. The shadows inside are just your usual natural colours, they are all matte except one which has a light shimmer. The names of the shadows are (from left to right) skimp, stark, frisk, cover, primal and undone. So if you’re thinking of getting a palette and don’t mind it being a bit more on the prices side then this palette is the one for you.

New look pure colour highlighter stick, baked blusher and new look bronzer brush

I did work experience  at new look so I shop there most of the time and they have just started to do a beauty range called pure colour. I popped in last week and saw that they had a highlighter out, it was like love at first sight and I have been using it every day since. The shade that I have is 93-Gold. It is highly pigmented and I mostly recommend it.

Also when I was in new look I got a baked blusher. This blusher is baked for rich long lasting colour; it is full of illuminating pigments and is suitable for all skin types so it is great if you have very sensitive skin like me. The shade that I have is 70-Pink.

The brush is the softest brush ever and I use it for the blusher.

Benefit Roller Lash

I got a sample of these, two months ago in an Ellen magazine and was obsessed. I have quite long eyelashes this is great as I don’t really have to wear flash eye lashes. This gives you super curly lashes and I highly recommend it.

Mac Cosmetics-Velvet teddy

This is my favorite ever lip stick and it’s a lovely dark nude shade and the matte finish is gorgeous and the application is silky, it’s just a colour you can wear in the day time and evening time.

Makeup Revolution Palette!!

I love this palette, the shades are so gorgeous, i'm a sucker for anything to do with Mermaids. the shades work well with the theme and are super pigmented! The names of the shadows themselves are great and tie in with the under the sea theme, my favorite ones are Waves, Fishtail, Treasure and Ariel. it also has a large mirror which comes in handy.
