Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour

Recently I spent my boots points on the Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour. It is amazing.

Now I haven't tried loads of cream/stick form blushers as I prefer a normal powder blush, but this is just wonderful, definitely worth the £19 price tag.

I chose the colour robust rhubarb, which is a reddy, coral colour. (This was my favourite of the bunch!) They come in 3 other colours, Roly Poly Rosy, Amp'd up Apple and Plumped up Peony. They are all gorgeous colours, and I may have to purchase another! 

Blended

The middle picture shows a swatch and the picture below shows what it looks like blended out. The colour can be made as bright or as subtle as you would like!

The formula of these is very creamy, but not overly creamy. They are extremely blendable which is what I like about them. I swipe a small line just beside the apple of my cheek and blend with my fingers. As simple as that. 

The price of these is reasonable for a high end product, and for how good it is! I would 100% recommend these! They retail for £19 each and can be bought in Boots, House of Fraser, Feel Unique, etc!

Have any of you tried these, or have I persuaded you to buy one!? Let me know in the comments.

Dainty Statement > Midi Rings

So recently I found myself wearing rings a lot. I literally never wear rings so this is weird for me. I especially love midi rings, they're so small and dainty, but in a way are quite quirky.

 


I love the way they look, very different to normal rings! The simplest of ring will look amazing as a midi ring. My favourite ones I own are shown above,  I got them from Urban Outfitters, but you can  buy them almost anywhere.

Whats your opinion on Midi Rings? Do you love them or hate them? Let me know in the comments.

Everyday Eyemakeup

Today I thought I'd show you the eye makeup look I do everyday! 

As I have very oily eyelids (slight TMI!) I have to use an eye primer, I like to use Urban Decay Original Eye Primer. It. Is. Amazing. I'm sure you've heard a lot about it so I won't bore you! I then use Maybellines Colour Tattoo in 'on and on bronze.' Again, this is an amazing cream eyeshadow, as good as the MAC, bobbi brown and origins ones! I use this to make my eyeshadow more vibrant, and again to make it last longer. Now as you can see I'm a big fan of my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and I've hit the pan on almost all of them. For this eye look I use Suspect all over the lid and Snakebite on the outer corners. I then blend it out with the 217 brush from MAC. I then smudge the Stila smudge stick in shade Lionfish on the top and bottom lash line. I then use lashings of one of my favourite mascaras, Benefit 'They're real.'

From left to right: Maybelline Colour tattoo in 'On and On Bronze.' Urban Decay eyeshadow in Suspect and Snakebite. Stila smudgestick in 'Lionfish'

So that's my everyday eye makeup look! I hope you enjoyed!

Top 3 Drugstore Foundations For Oily Skin!

Today I'm talking foundation! Recently I have been buying a lot of foundations from the drugstore (oops!) and these are my favourite ones!

I thought I'd start with one of my old favourites! This has been one of my favourites for quite a few months now and it's L'oreal Infallible 24 Hour Foundation. This gives such a nice finish to the skin, not completely matte, but not overly dewy, so perfect for oily/combination skins! This also has a relatively good staying power, not quite 24 hours though! 

 

My next favourite is Revlon Colourstay for Oily/Combination skin! Now I don't know someone with oily skin who doesn't like this foundation. It has full coverage and an excellent staying power! I don't know what else I can say, except this is a really good foundation and would 100% recommend!

My last but certainly not least favourite is Bourjois healthy mix! Now if you saw my current favourites then you would know I already love this. It has a matte finish, but not powdery looking or cakey. It has really good staying power and feels so light on the skin. The coverage is good as well! This is also a definite must buy for oily skin. Perfect for everyday wear! 

I hope this helped any people with oily/combination skin find a perfect foundation in the drugstore! There are many more foundations that I like in the drugstore, these are just my absolute favourites! If you would like a foundation collection and a mini review on all of them, then let me know if the comments!

What are your favourite foundations?

Current Beauty Favourites!

So today I ventured outside and took pictures of some of my favourite products!

 

So the first thing I have been enjoying is the healthy mix range from bourjois. I have really been liking the original healthy mix foundation and powder. I love this duo because it keeps my oily skin quite matte looking but not overly matte, if that makes sense! I would definitely recommend this for oily skins! 

 



The next face product I have been enjoying is from Kiko. I wondered in there not really expecting to find anything but I walked out with this at a steal price of £4 reduced from £12.90! This is a limited edition product so if you go in soon you should be able to pick one up! It's one of their blushers but its such a light shade so I'd use it as a highlighter. It's really gorgeous at giving a subtle highlight for everyday. I have it in the shade pearly rock.

My next favourite is the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette! (Who's excited for the basics 2? Because I know I am!) I love using this for an everyday look using Foxy all over the lid and Faint on the top and bottom lash line! If I want a more dramatic look I will use Faint in the crease and then smoke it out with Crave! 

My next favourite is Rimmels accelerator endless mascara! Mine has sadly almost reached the end so a trip to boots is needed! I love this because it gives my lashes really good length. I like to pair it with  Benefits they're real mascara for more volume! 

My last favourite is a recent perfume purchase. I saw this on offer in boots for only £20! Yet another bargain! It's Vera Wang Lovestruck, Floral Rush! This is such a gorgeous scent for daytime! I'm awful at describing scents so it will probably be best for you to google the description! 

So those are my favourites at the moment! What have you been loving recently? Let me know in the description!

Shoe Favourite: Vagabond Grace

So today I'm talking shoe favourites! Now I'm not a person who buys lots of cheaper shoes, I like to invest in maybe 4 good quality pairs of shoes. For me thats two pairs of trainers and two pairs of boots! The latest addition to my collection is the Vagabond Grace boot. I've had these for around a month and here is my opinion on them!

So I'm going to come straight out with it and say I LOVE these shoes! I love that there isn't a massive heel, just the right height, seeing as I'm 5'9 and don't want to be wearing massive heeled boots! I also love that they're relatively comfortable once you've worn them in. 

These retail for £80 but if you have a student card like me, you can get them for £72! In my opinion these are 100% worth the money, they are a very versatile boot which can be worn with almost anything. They're also very good quality! 

I hope you enjoyed!
