October Favorites

| On
Sunday, November 02, 2014
Hey guys, So this month i haven't really got that many favorites. However, the ones that i do have i have been literally obsessed with recently.







First of all is the Tanya Burr nail polish in Peaches and cream. This is definitely my fave colours from her collection, and when i first bought it, I wore it pretty much everyday for ages. I then went off wearing for a while (I probably overdid it) but recently ive fallen back in love with it. 







Next is this hair mask from Sanctuary. I love all of Sanctuary's hair masks, particularly the detox hair exfoliator which is great for product build up. The rescue mud mask is a new try for me and i have to say, its my new favorite. My hair was really lacking in moisture and needed an instant pick me up, This mask pretty much did that within a coupe of minutes.





My next favorite is a little different for me, but i have been using it soo much, it seemed silly not to include it in my October favorites.
I have had Pinterest for quite a while now, but never really got into it. But i seem to be using it more and more lately mostly for references and ideas for my college work.



Okay so thats it for this months favorites. Like i said there really isn't alot but i didn't want to put any old thing down for the sake of it. I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

I'd love to know if you have tried any of these things and also what your favorites this month have been. 




REVEIW: Makeup Revolution

| On
Wednesday, October 29, 2014



I ventured out to my local superdrug today to pick up a few essentials, while i was there i had a snoop around the makeup isles to see if there was anything interesting a new to try.
Its been quite a while since I've gone into superdrug so i was interested to see what was there.
I came across this new brand and was pleasantly surprised by the quality the their products.  

Despite the low price tag, the pigmentation of the eye-shadows and lipsticks is great! There's such a huge variety of colours across all the products. I especially love the choices of lipstick shades, particularly the darker shades for Autumn/winter.

The lipsticks go on really smoothly and don't feel drying. They have a lovely buttery texture and seem to have good staying power. I definitely going back to superdrug to pick up the  rest of the collection.



The packaging for the lipsticks are typical for a cheaper high-street brand. I would have liked for hem to be a little more original. Saying that, the plastic used, is nice and sturdy and doesn't seem to be easily broken. Also the cardboard packaging for the palettes is really original,super cool and  quirky.
I love the quotes.




This is definitely going to be a well used blush palette for me. It has a great array of shades from cool corals to pretty pinks. Not forgetting the two fantastic highlighters at the end.



Unfortunately, I didn't check one of the two eyeshadow palettes i bought and when i got home i was faced with  a crushed eyeshadow. Luckily its still usable, but it just goes to show how soft the formula is.

I also picked up one of there single matte eye shadows as i though it would be a great shade for my eyebrows. The pigmentation again, is really intense and i cant wait to test it out.

I'm so excited to experiment with all these great products and will keep you guys updated with the quality of the products


You can find all of these products and more here or in store at superdrug.

I'd love to know if any of you guys have tried out this brand before, If  you have, let me know what you thought.





Topshop Makeup Haul

Cream blush in Afternoon Tea
£7.00


Matte lipstick in All About Me
£8.00


Lip cream in Lotus Flower
£7.00


I've never really had a good root through the makeup at Topshop which is weird as I've heard nothing but good comment on them. 
I visited the Topshop on oxford street where every beauty lover should experience. They Had an awesome offer which allowed me to receive a free lip cream if i spent over £15.00.

I knew I wanted to pick up one of their lipstick's and had great fun swatching all that was to offer. I eventually narrowed it down to macaroon, a gorgeous creamy pink shade and All about me. Of course i picked the bright pink 'all about me'. I thought it would be a fab shade to complete any spring outfit. I really love the smooth consistency of these lipsticks and the colour is beautifully bold.

Next, I ventured into the blushes. I'm not really a huge fan of cream blushes, personally I find them quite difficult to work with and apply. However, the Topshop ones gave a really lovely finish and have a nice texture. This shade gives a nice healthy glow, Perfect for spring.

I was then able to pick out my lip cream. Out of all the wonderful shades available. This one was the most unique. It's a pretty berry colour with a slight hint of fuchsia shimmers. The pigmentation of these is really strong and has a glossy finish. Its moisturizing and has a perfect formula. I cant wait to wear this shade, paired with a cat-eye flick.




Let me know if you have tried any Topshop makeup and what I should try next?
