No matter what the price, you either love a product or can live without it. When it comes to the drugstore makeup, it’s no secret that there can be some absolute gems on the shelves. Beating their high end counterpart. So after reorganising my collection again, I thought I would share a few products I can’t live without!
Hello everyone! I hope you are all smashing your week! I have had the Becca Aqua Luminous Concealer for a while and had been meaning to write this post fo a while. For a while I was on the hunt for a high end concealer, I wanted to treat myself and whilst I was in Edinburgh last summer I finally found one that matched my skin tone, you can see what other goodies I got here. As someone who has a pale complexion with a neutral undertone, it can be difficult to find a pale concealer that isn’t yellow or pink toned. Many high end brands seem to do two pale concealers – one with a yellow undertone and the other pink. Or that are just look orange on me. So when Becca’s Aqua Luminous was a match I knew it was meant to be.

Ignoring the fact that I am constantly late to beauty band wagon, a while ago I bought the NYX Tame and Frame Brow Pomade as I figured it was about time I jumped on the pomade hype. I always thought that brow pomades would make my beauty routine longer, plus I wasn’t sure if I would like how a pomade would look on my brows compared to pencils. But there was only one way to find out!

Hello everyone and happy Valentines Day! I hope you all have a fab Valentines no matter if your single or in a relationship. I have spent my day curled up at home as I had my wisdom tooth taken out yesterday. So I’m feeling a little sorry for myself! Anyway, today I am back with another comparison review of a high end and drugstore product! After I finished a tube of Urban Decays Primer Potion I thought I would try a drugstore version of an eye base. I was curious to see if the drugstore version would be as good as the Urban Decay base. I decided to try the NYX HD Eyeshadow base.

Recently whilst perusing the isles of Boots, always a dangerous thing to do, I noticed Sleek had a new concealer out, the LifeProof concealer. I was looking to try a new concealer after repurchasing the NYX HD Concealer 4 times. I have Sleek’s LifeProof foundation for my makeup kit for uni and it’s a good foundation. So I swatched a few shades that were available and decided to pick one up.

For my pro makeup kit I was on the hunt for good foundations as I wanted something that would be good for the majority of skin types. So I started to research and test out quite a few foundations. Leading me to Bare Minerals Bare Pro, I had wanted something that was cruelty free, with a wide variety of shades and that was good for different skin types.

Brows are such a personal thing. Everyone has their own preferred technique and style. As someone who is constantly late to beauty bandwagons I took my time in trying out a brow pomade. I always thought they were made for people with sparser and thinner brows than me as on social media those were the only people I saw use them. I never saw anyone with thicker brows use them, but eventually curiosity got the better of me and I decided to try one out. Brow pencils and brow pomades give a totally different finish and I thought it would make a great comparison.

Over the last year I have really been loving glosses and so my collection has grown quite a bit. So whilst on the hunt for glosses I came across so many good reviews on Buxom lip glosses and saw many being used by my favourite YouTubers, one that came up a lot was Buxom’s White Russian.
