<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I'm showing you my favourite brushes that I like to use when doing my makeup. I'm a firm believer that brushes don't need to be expensive to do a great job, so most of these are pretty affordable.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These brushes are good for powder because they're dense. The brush on the left is the best for all over face powder because its big and can pack a lot of product on. The brush on the right I use for smaller areas and also to clean up areas e.g. under my contour. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like this bronzer brush because it's big but it's also slightly tapered. I don't have a very large face so using brushes that are too big can make the product go everywhere and look a little sloppy. This brush is also fluffy so blends the product out while you're applying it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't use blush too often but when I do I like to use brushes which are fluffy but also tapered. You don't want blush to end up in too general an area (like you do with bronzer) so getting a brush which will place the product nicely is important. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With contouring brushes I look for something a lot smaller, usually slanted so you have more control over the placement of the product. Additionally, this brush is quite dense so you can pack product on, precisely but also blend it out at the same time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is just the perfect highlighter brush. A lot of people like fan brushes to apply highlighter but I prefer brushes like this, for me they're more precise. They also put enough product on so that it shows up but doesn't pack it on so that it looks like a shiny stripe on your face. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Blending brushes are so important for doing eye looks so finding blending brushes that work for you is very important. These two are my favourite. They're fluffy and soft but also tapered so that the product stays where it's placed. They also blend the product out perfectly. My absolute favourite out of the two is the Zoeva brush but its slightly more expensive than the Morphe one. </span></div>

Firstly I need to apologise for my lack of posts, I've finally finished my second year of uni but as you can imagine the last month or so has been intense! Because of my lack of posts I've decided to put my favourites from the past few months together into my current favourites! Also if anyone has any good ideas for posts let me know what you'd like to see.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know previously I've sang the praises of the Bondi Sands fake tan and the Loving Tan mitt but these two products have blown those out the water. I'm not usually a fan of fake tan lotions, I prefer foams but this is the best fake tan I've ever used. I usually fake tan at night and sleep in it as it's just what I find easiest but this one makes it so easy to do it during the day too as the colour guard (the darker colour it initially leaves you before you wash it off) is a nice colour and you don't look like a piece of mahogany furniture. It also applies flawlessly, the smell is pleasant, although I don't mind the smell of fake tans, and it actually dries completely instead of staying wet and tacky. The tan develops into a lovely dark colour, it fades so naturally and lasts a long time. Additionally, I need to mention this mitt from Skinny Tan which disperses the product evenly and stops it from looking streaky or patchy. This is now my new favourite fake tan and the only one I'll be using. I got mine from Superdrug, it's usually £20 put I got two on a buy one get one half price offer. The mitt was also from superdrug. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is my first proper product from Tarte Cosmetics. They're a difficult brand to get here in the UK and even though places like Sephora do carry them, they don't carry the full range of products. I decided to bite the bullet and to get some products from the Tarte website, I took advantage of their free international shipping offer so all I had to pay was customs (still annoying). This palette is beautiful, it's got 3 shimmer shades and 9 matte shades. Unfortunately one of my shades (top right- the darkest shade in the palette) arrived smashed but I think I've managed to press it slightly back into shape. These shadows are so lovely, they smell amazing, they're pigmented, buttery and blend amazingly. Also the shimmers are so pigmented and beautiful. I'm so impressed with this palette I've been using it non-stop since I got it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you have access to the internet and you have a pair of eyes you've probably heard of the Tarte Shape Tape concealer. I bought it at the same time as a I bought the previous palette. This product definitely lives up to the hype of being the most full coverage concealer I've ever used and it's so brightening. I got the shade fair because I'm very pale and I like a fairly bright undereye too. I'd definitely pick this up if you're ordering from Tarte, it's so full coverage a little goes a long way so this lasts a long time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is my new favourite brand of dramatic lashes. For a softer day time look I like not as dramatic lashes such as the Ardell Wispies/Demi Wispies but these are perfect if you're looking for something more dramatic. They're not ridiculously big so if you have smaller eyes like me you won't need to trim them down too much, they're easy to put on and they have so many uses out of them. My favourite type of glue to use is the duo- I use the clear ones and the dark one when I've got liner on. They're also a lot cheaper than similar, comparable lashes and they have tonnes of styles, my favourite being Alexa. I can't recommend them enough. They're available through depot and eBay, go check them out!</span></div>

These are the first eyeshadows I own from this brand and I really like them. This is really good for travelling and producing a cohesive look from just a few shadows. My favourite tones are warm and smoky so these are right up my street. Kat Von D beauty has recently become available in the UK in Debenhams stores so if you're looking to get these I'd definitely go there. This is really good for £17 for the quality of the shadows and the packaging is really great. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As much as I love my Beauty Blender I have been looking for other beauty sponges that aren't as expensive. I've seen these Morphe sponges being raved about left, right and centre so I thought I'd try it. It's half the price of the Beauty Blender so I thought I may as well. This is really good, it's a slightly different texture to the other beauty sponges I'd tried but I really like the fact that its got a bigger, flatter side and also a tapered side. I like to bake parts of my face and under my eyes so I like having a tapered edge. I know they now stock these on Beauty Bay which is great and I'll definitely repurchase these. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am so late to this Coconut Oil bandwagon but I think I finally understand why it's so highly acclaimed. I've replaced my nightly face and body moisturiser with this and I've seen such a difference in my skin, especially my facial skin. My breakouts cleared up so much quicker, it's helped subdue my redness and especially because I fake tan it's played a major part in making it last longer and come off more gradually and naturally. The only negative about this product is that it takes a bit longer to absorb into the skin which is why I use it at night and I wouldn't use it before makeup but it has been one of the only things (skincare wise) that's made me see an actual difference in my skin. I got this one from Primark for around £9, usually tubs like this are a similar price and last a while as a small amount of product goes a long way. I can't recommend this enough. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My first favourite product of the last few months is this highlighter by Jeffree Star cosmetics in 'Ice Cold'. This is amazingly pigmented and buttery, not to mention the sheer amount of product you get in these highlighters. This shade is definitely more for those with very pale skin, as when I've got a darker foundation on it can tend to look a little ashy. There is a very large range of highlighters which are for all different skin tones and all the ones I have are amazing, I highly recommend. </span></div>

Even though it's called Stay Matte I don't think it makes me look too matte, although I do need to use a setting spray. It keeps my oils at bay and keeps my makeup on all day. This one I use is the translucent one but I'm going to invest in the ones with pigment in. Additionally I don't use this powder all over my face, usually I bake under my eyes, my chin and my forehead with a loose powder and I feel like this has really helped my makeup stay all day. Best of all this powder is only around £4/5 making it completely affordable. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had been a bit sceptical about setting sprays, most of all because I never felt like they actually made that much of a difference, OR they'd be too wet and make me look oily and greasy after I'd applied them. After trying this one, however, I absolutely love it. It settles my powders and makes my highlight stand out without making me look wet and greasy. Additionally it makes my makeup last all day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I'm doing the second half of my 'favourite foundations' post. Last month I did a post dedicated to my favourite drug store/affordable foundations so check that out if you're interested! I have a lot less favourite high end foundations, but the ones I do like are my holy grails which I'll always repurchase. What I like about high end foundations it that they <i>generally </i>tend to have a better shade selection. More affordable brands don't go light enough to cater to really light skin tones such as mine, and I've found that they often tend to look quite orange/pink, whereas I have yellow undertones so these don't suit me. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first foundation is the infamous Double Wear by Estée Lauder. I really like this foundation, it's one of the most heavy duty foundations out there and if you set it properly it will stay put. The finish of this is definitely matte, especially when set with powders although if I've got a long day I generally tend to go matte anyway because it allows for my natural oils to come through more before I start looking horrifically oily. The things I don't like about this foundation are that the bottle doesn't have a pump- it's really irritating as when you pour out product loads tends to come out and you end up wasting some. Another drawback of this foundation is that it does flashback as it has SPF in, meaning that for flash photography and events involving pictures it might not be ideal. The shade I have is a light yellow undertoned one, called Bone. This foundation is a pretty standard price for a high end foundation (£31) but if you want some heavy duty coverage then try it out. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My second favourite foundation is the All Day Luminous Foundation by Nars. Nars only have two foundations and they're both in this favourites post. One thing I really like about Nars foundations is that they have a lot of yellow shades which is good for people like me. I don't usually like water-based foundations, which is what this is, as I don't feel like they offer very good coverage but this one is really great. It blends out really nicely and gives a full coverage without looking cakey or heavy. This foundation also comes with a pump (yay) whereas the other Nars foundation doesn't. At £34 this is slightly more expensive but it really is a beautiful foundation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I've talked about this foundation about 10,000 times so I'll try and make this brief. If you're looking for the fullest coverage possible, this is for you. It takes a bit of buffing in because it is so full coverage but the finish is fantastic. One thing I've found is that it can sometimes accentuate dry skin, but on a day to day basis I usually mix this with a thinner, more watery foundation to combat that. This is the most expensive foundation mentioned, £37, but instead of using pumps of foundation to get my desired coverage this only takes a few drops. I have 3 shades, but this one is Ivory. If you like full coverage, check this out. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This used to be my ultimate holy grail foundation before I discovered the Marc Jacobs one, BUT I still love this. Out of the two Nars foundations this one is definitely my favourite, I find the coverage slightly better and the finish slightly more dewy and long lasting. Despite the name the coverage is not 'sheer' and the finish isn't massively 'glowy', although with everything this depends on how it's set. I love the combination of this foundation and the Kat Von D Lock It Powder foundation, they work amazingly together. This is slightly cheaper than the All Day Luminous, £32, but doesn't come with a pump, although once you've bought a pump you can just transfer it from bottle to bottle. The shades I have in my Nars foundations are Deauville (lighter) and Punjab (darker) and they're perfect. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, this isn't a foundation but I thought it deserved a mention. This is the Cover FX custom cover drops. These are drops of pigment designed to be added to foundations or tinted moisturisers to add coverage. These are fantastic- there's been a few foundations I've liked but the coverage just wasn't enough for me, this has totally solved that. This is available in loads of different shades so they can also be used to lighten/darken foundations. These are £36 but as you only use 2-3 drops at a time they last a long time, a lot longer than a foundation would!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My first favourite of this month is this fake tan mitt by Loving Tan. I can't really remember when or how I got this fake tan mitt but I've had it for a while and just forgot I had it. It is incredible. I used to use really cheap fake tan mitts which were about £2 and never applied the product in a nice way (I don't know why I'm surprised). This one is a velour thick mitt which applies the product seamlessly and smoothly. The tan I currently use is the Bondi Sands Dark Mousse which I really like. I can't remember how I came to try this mitt and not Loving Tan fake tan, it's just difficult to get in the UK. I'd whole heartedly recommend this fake tan mitt, and because of the quality it will last a lot longer than other, more flimsy, mitts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I never find mascaras particularly impressive, as I've said before, so when I heard that the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara was the best thing ever I was reluctant to spent £19 on it. That being said I'm so impressed with this mascara. The wand is big but not too big so that it smudges all over my eyes if I'm careful. It lengthens and separates my lashes really nicely too. Don't get me wrong I do still prefer to use false lashes as well just because my natural lashes are nothing special but this still makes my natural lashes as good as they can be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This beauty oil is all over YouTube and influencers' instagrams. I got this oil around 2 months go but with items such as these, skin care etc, I like to give things a fair amount of use before I pass judgement on them. I love this oil. Recently my skin has been all over, going from very oily to very dry, especially on my cheeks. I use this oil at night and also put a few drops on my beauty blender when I'm blending out foundation, it works especially well with matte foundations if I don't want them to be so matte or my skin is feeling dry. Additionally, it's amazing for adding to cream contour kits which I haven't been able to use previously because I've found them to be too dry and drag on my skin (I'll talk more about this for my next product). This product is fantastic, smells amazing, and it's one of those skincare products where I can genuinely feel a difference. This oil, as a lot of beauty oils are, is expensive but as you only use a few drops at a time it lasts for a long time. I got mine from the official Farsali website but literally the day I'm writing this it's become available on Beauty Bay which is very convenient. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I haven't really been a big fan of cream contouring in general. Every cream contour kit I've had has been difficult to blend out, probably because of the dryness of my skin. I've had this contour kit for over a year now and barely used it, but I've literally fallen in love with it after discovering the Farsali Rose Gold Elixir. Adding a few drops of the beauty oil makes these creams extremely bendable and more natural-looking than powders. This palette is in the shade light and has a great selection of colours for highlighting and contouring for pale skin. This palette is quite expensive, I haven't tried any more affordable cream contour kits but now that I like cream contouring I'll definitely be trying more out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I feel like recently I've found a lot of affordable foundations that I've really liked, and this is no different. This is the L.A. Girl Pro Coverage foundation and I really like it. I thought I might like this foundation as their concealer is one of my favourite products. I love this foundation. It's a very dewy finish and until set with powder stays very very wet, although this is fine if you set it properly. The coverage is fantastic, I love the finish and best of all it's only £11. This is the shade 02 Natural which is too dark for me (SHOCK) and they only have one shade lighter than this one which I've just purchased to try. I'd recommend this foundation if you like full coverage and have normal/dry skin. If your skin is really oily it may be a bit too dewy for your liking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My final favourite product of this month was these House of Lashes falsies in 'Mini Wispies'. I'm die hard for my Ardell Demi Wispies as I find they're one of the only pairs of lashes that suit my small eyes size and shape. That being said, I found this range of 'mini' lashes by House of Lashes which are in their normal styles but are smaller and have smaller lash bands. These are lovely, they fit really well and don't swamp my eyes. I get all my lashes from falseeyelashes.co.uk for a really reasonable price. Definitely check these out if you're like me and have smaller eyes that you struggle to find lashes for!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi! Today I'm showing you some of my favourite affordable foundations. These are ones which can be found in 'drugstores' e.g. Boots/Superdrug etc here in the UK, or that are from brands which are more affordable. Obviously I have favourite foundations that are from higher end brands, but I'll do a separate post on these! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My skin type is very combination. At times, although less recently, I'm really really oily, especially in my t-zone, and other times my skin is horrifically dry (although it's always pretty dry on my cheeks). The state of my skin usually dictates what type of finish I'm looking for, if my skin is dry I go for a dewy finish and vice versa, although generally I believe most foundations can be made matte/dewy with the right finishing powders and setting sprays. All but 2 of these foundations can be bought in stores such as Boots & Superdrug so they're pretty easily gotten ahold of. All of these foundations offer good coverage, not the fullest you can get but still good, which is why I like them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love this foundation. As the name suggests 'lumi' means that this is quite a dewy foundation with 'liquid light technology'. I don't really know what that means but this foundation gives a really beautiful finish on the skin. My problem with this foundation, and this is a common theme with affordable foundations, is that the shade range is horrendous. I have the shade 'Gold Linen' which I think is the lightest yellow undertoned shade they offer, and this is by far the darkest foundation I own, meaning I can only wear this when I've got ten thousand layers of fake tan on. Even on the Boots website, there only seems to be 6 shades available, 3 of each undertone, so if you're pale like me this isn't great (although the available shades might be completely different in other counties). Currently, on the Boots website this is priced at £10.99, but Boots also usually have offers on (at the moment it's 2 £12 on selected L'Oreal products) so you can usually get it cheaper! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This foundation is a cult-favourite on YouTube and for good reason. EX1 markets itself to those with yellow undertones to their skin and I believe all but 1 or 2 of their shades have yellow undertones. What I've generally found is that more affordable brands don't have a lot of shades with yellow undertones, they're usually pink or really orange, so this brand is great for that. The shade I have is shade 4.0, again, too dark for me without fake tan and they don't offer a really pale shade. I believe they have just remodelled their shade range going from F100 etc to now just 1.0, 2.0 etc. Both of these ranges are available and I'm not too sure what the differences are between these. The finish is semi-dewy, but not as much as the L'Oreal Lumi Magique. This foundation is only £12.50, and is most easily acquired from <a href="http://www.lookfantastic.com/ex1-cosmetics-invisiwear-liquid-foundation-30ml-various-shades/10789049.html?widget_id=173493">www.lookfantastic.com</a> for those in the UK, where they usually offer some kind of discount (18% at the moment) and free delivery. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This foundation smells absolutely amazing AND the shade I have is actually one of the few that matches me when I'm pale. I have the shade 'Light Vanilla' which is the lightest one they offer, and they do seem to have a slightly better shade range than some other brands. One other thing is that there are so many brands which only offer foundations to light/medium skin tones and offer absolutely nothing to deeper skin tones which is ridiculous. The coverage of this is possibly the lightest of all these foundations, but I have a lot of facial redness which is often hard to cover so if you don't have that it's probably fine for you. Again, the finish is quite dewy, probably comparable to the L'Oreal Lumi Magique. I often like to mix this foundation with others to make them less matte and slightly lighter, it's great for that. This foundation is priced at £9.99 at Boots UK, but again if you catch it on an offer you could probably find it cheaper. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a relatively new foundation to me but one that I've really been enjoying as I included it in my December Favourites post. The coverage is great with a semi-matte finish, comparable to the Nars Sheer Glow and I'd say it's most comparable to the EX1 out of these foundations. AGAIN, this is only wearable for me when I've got tan on. I have the shade 2.0 Natural which is one of the lightest shades they offered, they do offer a slightly lighter one but this wasn't available, so if you're pale, again, this isn't great however it does offer a large range of deeper shades for darker skin tones which is good. This claims to be a concealer as well, I don't really find that to be honest, although I like to use a light concealer under my eyes to highlight anyway. The easiest place to get Milani products in the UK is Beauty Bay, and this is only £11 so very affordable. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, I've talked about this foundation before. Out of all of these this may be my favourite, with the highest coverage and best finish. I have two shades, 105 Natural Ivory and this one, 128 Warm Nude (tanned shade). Again, their shade selection isn't great and doesn't cater to deeper skin tones. As the name would suggest, the finish is matte but it isn't like a total flat matte. I don't really use this when my skins feeling super dry though as it can cling to dry patches and accentuate them. The only thing I don't like about this foundation is that it doesn't have a pump! This is just a fantastic foundation and at £6.99 from Boots you can't really go wrong.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This used to be my absolutely holy grail foundation, high end or affordable. The coverage is fantastic and the finish is quite matte although not too matte. I haven't used this foundation in a while, I mainly stopped using it because of the shade range, there weren't enough shades with a yellow undertone. Looking on the Boots website now the shade range seems so have increased a lot, and they now offer a pump on the bottle. I'm definitely going to re-purchase this because I used to absolutely love it and I would definitely recommend it at only £9.99. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Something really different for you today... I recently went to Vienna and I thought it would be nice to try and shake things up a bit, so I wanted to write a post about my experience and also some recommendations of some things I enjoyed doing if you ever go. I don't really travel a lot, and especially the last few years I haven't been able to do much in the way of holidays so this was a long overdue mini break. I'm also just going to put some photos on here as well, as I took quite a few and it would be nice to have somewhere to display them together!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So we went for 4 full days and 3 nights, which I'd say is a perfect amount of time, although I definitely could have stayed longer. We stayed in Pension City Hotel just off of Stephenplatz (St. Stephen's Square- the main square in the middle of Vienna with the cathedral.) The hotel was perfect, the location was amazing, it was reasonably priced and I can't praise the staff enough, they were welcoming, helpful and friendly. The Cathedral is pretty much the centre of the city, and everything we visited, with one exception, was well within walking distance. </span></div>

The first day we arrived and went straight to the hotel where we could left our luggage and headed straight back out. The main thing we did on the first day was visit the <a href="http://www.freud-museum.at/en/">Sigmund Freud Museum.</a> Me and my friend both really enjoyed this, especially because as a psychology student I've learned a lot about him already. Admission was €12,00 for adults and €7,50 for students (which Is what I paid). This also included an extensive audioguide which was available in several different languages. This takes about 1-2 hours depending on how thoroughly you listen and read everything, it definitely isn't the biggest of museums but there is plenty to see and hear. We also took a walk around the city and then down to the river. </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second day we visited the Schönbrunn Palace, which also had a zoo in the grounds. This is the only day we had to use public transport, although it was very easy to understand. From where we were staying at Stephensplatz the easiest way to get there was the underground train. It was cheap, fast and easy to navigate- if you're going to go here I definitely recommend you take the train. The zoo and the palace are two separate activities although if you buy the 'Winter Pass' you can have access to both for €27.50, this includes full access of the zoo and a tour of the palace. Admission to the zoo is usually €18.50 itself so this is definitely value for money and includes the extended tour of the palace rather than the shortened tour which is also offered. This, again, is accompanied by an audioguide in a range of languages. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'd definitely recommend a full day for this activity. On the day we went, we went to the zoo first and then into the palace. The palace shut at 5pm and we had only just finished our tour, we also didn't have time to fully walk round the gardens and grounds, although to get to the zoo you have to walk through the main grounds regardless (unless you're stupid like us and get lost). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On day 3 we spent most of the day exploring St. Stephen's Cathedral. We paid €13.90 for an all inclusive ticket which included access to the South Tower, where you could get a spectacular view of the entire city, The North Tower, a guided tour of the interior of the cathedral, a tour of the catacombs and a tour of the treasury. The tour of the cathedral itself came with yet another audioguide, and the tour of the catacombs was lead by a guide who spoke both English and German. The cathedral was absolutely amazing, both inside and out, and the tour of the catacombs was both interesting but also chilling. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After exploring the cathedral we bought tickets to see a concert called 'The Sound of Vienna', which was advertised as a traditional Austrian music concert which showcased the best of Austrian music and culture, namely the music of Strauss & Mozart. We were slightly reluctant to buy tickets to this event as I wasn't really sure if it would be my thing but it was amazing. This was held at Kursalon Wien, again, a short walk from all the main attractions and landmarks. We were offered a reduced price of €31, down from the original €42 but it was well worth the money, it not only included music but singing and dancing. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After getting a cake breakfast, and trying traditional cakes including the famous Sachertorte, the final day we spent in the Museum of Art History. We didn't have the full day as we had to catch our flight home in the evening so we didn't want to go too far. We decided to head over to the Museum Quarter and visit the art museum. We had originally planned to visit the Vienna Natural History Museum but it is closed on Tuesdays (be aware of this if you want to go!). The Art Museum was great, we paid €15 entry, and could have paid another €4 for an audioguide, but we decided not to get these as everything was labelled and pretty self-explanatory. The museum was massive, and included exhibits on Roman and Egyptian art and sculptures. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We spent about 3/3 and a half hours in the museum but definitely could have spent more time there if we'd looked at everything more thoroughly. The museum is over 3 floors with many different rooms on each floor, so if you're going to go here I'd recommend dedicating the whole day so you can see everything fully. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overall, we both had a really great time. The weather was cold, as we'd expected, but it was never unbearable, and if you just dress accordingly you'd be fine. Vienna is a great place for a mini-break, everyone we met there was welcoming and friendly, the city was easy to get around both by public transport and on foot and the city itself is beautiful, especially the architecture. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a short holiday not to one of the typical cities. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi and Happy New Year! Again, I've got to start this post by apologising for my absence, it's a very busy time of year and uni work is killing me. But here I am, with my first post of 2017, my December favourites. I'm also thinking about doing another post with my top beauty products of 2016- although I'm worried this will be a bit samey, and most of the products will already be in previous favourite posts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've also got quite a lot coming up in the next few months so I'll endeavour to get a post up every week as usual, even if they're slightly shorter than what I usually write (I'm aware some of my posts are quite long so I might shorten them but make them more frequent?). I'm also quite active on Instagram where I post mini reviews, photos of new products and a lot more makeup products than make it up onto here, so follow me on there if you're interested, username: catrionabathan. Or you can click the social media icons to the right!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, as I've said before, hair isn't my thing. I am both blessed and cursed with very long very thick hair which I never really wash or style. I (semi) recently went ombré blonde, I've never had my hair so light before, so I didn't know what to expect. One thing I've struggled he most with is having brassy, yellow tones in my hair which just don't look good, and I wasn't really aware of what a toner was, what they do or why I needed one? Thankfully my friends are less useless than I am and suggested I get a purple shampoo. I started with the £3.99 one from Bodycare and was pretty impressed with the results until I saw this on Beauty Bay. I am SO impressed with this product, it's amazing. It removes 100% of all the brassy tones and you only need to leave it on for a few minutes, there's been a few times where I've left mine on for too long and it's started to turn my hair an almost white/silver. It's so strong, smells great and doesn't leave my hair feeling dry. It's also only £10.75 and contains a really large amount of product. I use this once a week (which is all I wash my hair) and also shampoo my hair with a normal shampoo beforehand. Seriously, if you're blonde, you need this! I've also inserted a photo of my hair so you can see what colour mine is. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, I have a new Holy Grail foundation (sorry Nars). I'm planning on doing an entire post on this product because I love it so much. I have never used such a full coverage foundation, especially one where you don't need to apply layers and layers to get the desired coverage. Yes, it is the most expensive foundation I own, but I could be using tonnes and tonnes of layers of foundations costing £20/30 or several drops of this one. It's incredible, I love it. The only issue is it's not too available here in the UK, I got mine from Sephora, although you can order it online from John Lewis, but you've got to colour match online (risky, but worth it). </span></div>

I've already done a full post about these liquid lipsticks so again, I won't go into too much detail but I love the colour of this so much. I have Unicorn Blood too, and although I do like it I just didn't find it as dark as I wanted it to be. This is very dark and vampy, and the formula is amazing. He's also improved his packaging so they lock in place tighter. This shade is from his Christmas Holiday collection, which is still available and he's now realised the majority of his shades and products on Beauty Bay- for which I am very thankful. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is another foundation I've been really liking. The coverage isn't as full as the Marc Jacobs one, but it's also over 1/3 of the price. The coverage is still fantastic, I'd say it's comparable to the Nars sheer glow and the finish is similar too. Milani is a brand which I'm really getting into, their products are great and affordable. One criticism I've got is the shade selection. I got the shade 02- Natural but I can only wear it when I've got a decent layer of fake tan on. Since buying that shade they've added a few more on the Beauty Bay website including the lightest shade, but as with most drugstore/affordable foundations they don't cater to a large range of skin tones. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">I haven't had a new hairdryer in about 7 years and I used to get so frustrated that it took around the same amount of time to dry my hair. My hair always looked frizzy and felt dry after </span><span style="color: #666666;">using my old dryer, and it would always overheat and cut it. So long story short I decided to invest in a new one. This hairdryer is the same brand as the curling wand I mentioned in another favourites post. It's fantastic. It dries my hair a lot faster than my old one, it has more heat setting and speed settings. It also smooths my hair as it dries it and it doesn't make it feel dry and damaged. I've been trying to take better care of my hair in general, I finally invested in a heat-protectant and I've been using products such as Moroccan Oil and Coconut Oil on it. I really can tell a difference. I really recommend this hairdryer if your hair is long and thick like mine and drying it is a point of contention, I still hate washing and drying my hair but this has made it slightly more bearable. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Firstly sorry for my absence. December is a very busy month, with uni work, working and Christmas I've found it difficult to find the time to sit down and write properly. That being said I have tried to use my Instagram to offer little reviews and favourite posts when I haven't had time to write a full post- I also offer a lot more makeup looks on there than I post on here so follow me for those. Instagram: catrionabathan. This post is about this pinky shimmery eye with nude lips and a black wing. I really like this look, it's semi-dramatic but also isn't too dark for day-time wear. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Huda Beauty is one of the most influential beauty bloggers in the world. Her Instagram has nearly 16 million followers and from blogging and makeup artistry she's turned her hand to business. Her brand now produces eyelashes, liquid lipsticks and most recently this eyeshadow palette. This is the only Huda Beauty product I own, although I've heard very good things about every single other product, especially the eyelashes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I ordered this eyeshadow palette from Cult Beauty, a website here in the UK which stocks hard to get hold of brands. This product is also available from her actual website and other assorted retailers. On Cult Beauty this product was priced at £54 which was slightly more expensive than I'd anticipated although it does contain 18 shades, 6 foiled finishes, 1 shimmer and 11 matte shades. With a price of £54 and containing 18 shades this works out at £3 per pan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I absolutely love the look of this palette. I think it looks like a very well thought through cohesive palette with a lot of range of the looks you can create. The colours work very well together, there are enough light & dark colours, transition colours and groups of colours which work together to create a full look. This is often a big criticism of mine- that the shades don't work well together and that you cannot create a look from start to finish using only one palette. Additionally, the colours in this palette are totally up my street, they're mostly warm earthly tones but with a few pops of colours for more out-there looks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The packaging for this product is absolutely awful. After looking at several reviews I've seen that the packaging has been highly and widely criticised for being 'too cheap'- I completely agree. There is an outer cardboard sleeve with the iconic Huda Beauty eyes on the front but underneath this the same type of cardboard material. The clear section in the front of the palette is also made out of thin plastic. The whole thing just feels flimsy and un-luxurious (don't know if thats actually a word). For the price of this palette I just expected something sturdier and a bit more substantial. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for the actual products I just find this palette disappointing, and it totally pains me to say I because I had such high expectations (as did everyone). The matte shadows are nice but not amazing, I prefer the formula of ABH (Anastasia Beverly Hills) and MUG (Makeup Geek) shadows. I've also kind of found that they can tend to muddy up when they're applied and then blended together, although this could just be the way I apply them but I've seen others say this. As for the foiled shadows I find a lot of pros and cons about them. Huda Beauty recommends that they're applied with a finger and not a brush because of their foiled texture, and when I've used my finger they are amazing. They're different to other brands such as MUG foiled eyeshadows or shimmers in that they're very textured and coarse. In some respects this is good but only being able to apply them with a finger leaves a lot of problems. If you're doing any kind of precision work e.g. putting a shimmer on the lid or doing a cut crease, not being able to use a brush makes it very difficult to be at all precise and brushes do not pick up any product AT ALL so using a finger is really the only option. Additionally because these shimmer shades are so textured they are quite heavy on the lid. I've also had problems applying liner over these shadows, my or my liner breaking up because of them. Don't get me wrong, these shadows are beautiful when used with a finger (as you'll be able to see from the swatches) but they're difficult to work with and can be uncomfortable to wear. Again, this could be down to my eye shape and size, I don't have a lot of room to work with which definitely doesn't help! </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overall I've just found this palette disappointing. £54 is a lot to pay for an eyeshadow palette, I feel I'd be a lot more forgiving if it was cheaper but raising the price also raises expectations. I will, of course, continue to use this palette, I hate being wasteful of makeup and I always try to use up a product even if it's not my favourite but I definitely wouldn't repurchase this product and, for the price, I don't think I'd recommend it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I'm doing something slightly different, and I'm showing you products I've bought because of recommendations from YouTubers! I watch a lot of YouTube, it's a slight addiction, but I feel like its a good way to learn and find out about the latest products. Makeup and skin care is not 'one size fits all', so what works well for other people may not work for you, it's definitely important to remember that, and even though I haven't liked all of these products it's definitely taught me what I do like and what I'm personally looking for in certain products. I got this idea from YouTube (shock) from KathleenLights but it's a great idea and I had a lot of the same products as she did! A lot of the products in my previous posts were purchased because of YouTube so I've tried to look at things I haven't already mentioned because obviously the products I've already talked about I liked! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first item is the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in the shade Light. I got this because of several YouTubers talking about it. This isn't a brand that I'd heard of outside YouTube and isn't very easily accessed in the UK. I love this product. It smells amazing and it's one of the most natural bronzers I own. I do like matte bronzers but this one is luminous and is the best at replicating natural sunlight. I got this from eBay and it's relatively cheap compared to high end brands, I'm assuming if this brand is sold in the country you're in it'll be ever cheaper. Depending on how tanned I am I like to layer this on top of a darker matte bronzer to add luminosity and and make it look (slightly) more natural. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I really like Zoeva as a brand, and until YouTube I hadn't really heard much about them. Zoeva make some of my favourite makeup brushes, they're amazing quality and very affordable. They also have a good range of makeup, mainly eye products. After seeing this palette on Jamie Genevieve's channel I decided to invest. As much as I like Zoeva as a brand I just don't love this product; I also have the Coco Blend palette which I feel similarly about. I just don't feel like the shadows blend or are as pigmented as other, similarly affordable, brands. Additionally, and this is totally my fault, I just don't really like cool toned colours on my eyes personally and this is quite a cool toned palette. Don't get me wrong, I feel this is a great starter palette and it's a very reasonable price, but I just don't find myself reaching for it that often. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As with the last product, I first saw this on the channel of Jamie Genevieve. I always used to feel intimidated when I went into Lush because I had no idea what I was looking for, what my skin type was or what it needed. I love this product and I've repurchased it several times since I started using it. It's a reasonably coarse face and body scrub which is amazing for exfoliating. I personally hate coffee, and I hate the smell of coffee but I've just learned to get over it because I like this product so much. Of course that won't be a problem if you like the smell. I use this all over my body but particularly my face. The only thing I would say is that because it contains small granules they can tend to work their way up into the hairline. Because of that I only use it on days I wash my hair (which is only around once a week) so that you can properly get it out your hair. Additionally, because I don't use it that often it lasts me quite a long time, although Lush products do have very clear expiration dates.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't specifically remember which YouTuber I saw mention this product although it was probably ALL of them. I probably would've bought this product anyway because it's so popular. As you can probably tell from the photo I really like this product, although it's not my favourite contour palette out there. I don't get much use out of the two right hand colours because they're too dark for me but the other colours are great, especially the cooler toned contour colour. She's recently brought out a second contour palette with refillable pans which is amazing because my only criticism of this one you'd have to buy a whole new palette if you run out of one colour. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once again, I bought this product because of Jamie Genevieve. I had previously bought the other Illamasqua Rich Liquid foundation because of YouTube which I absolutely hated, I just couldn't get it to work with my skin at all, so I bought this one in the hope it would be better. I quite like this foundation, although my biggest problem was that I got the wrong shade which is totally my fault. Additionally I never felt like the foundation actually dried and set properly, it would always feel like it was transferring and sliding around which I obviously wasn't a fan of. I don't really use this foundation at all anymore, I feel like you can get better foundations for the same price, or cheaper.</span></div>

Jaclyn Hill is one of the most successful YouTubers out there and she's collaborated with many cosmetics companies, most famously of course, with Becca Cosmetics. I do really like this product, although it works most effectively for me when I've got a bit of a tan. Because I'm quite pale naturally it isn't as evident on my skin on top of my paler foundations. I haven't actually hit pan on this product, I accidentally put my finger in it and ended up digging out loads of product, it's so sad. I'm glad I got this product and it's actually made me want more Becca highlighters. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This product I bought because of NikkieTutorials, who, most famously, introduced us all to the Nivea Post Shave Balm as a primer. This is the Makeup Forever Ultra HD Stick Foundation. I'd never tried a stick foundation before this so I wasn't sure to expect. My reservations with stick foundations are that they are hard to apply and don't blend very effectively. I've subsequently seen loads and loads of people swear by this product but I just cannot seem to get it to work for me. Every time I use it I feel like I'm dragging the product across my skin to try and blend it out and after all of that dragging there's barely any product left on my face. I've definitely had a problem with my skin seeming dry and products (particularly cream products) being difficult to blend out. I'm going to try and make more of an effort to rectify this with my skin, perhaps by prepping it differently, because I can't believe that this works for so many people and not for me!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't even believe I didn't use a Beauty Blender for ages, now I can't live without them. I used to apply my foundation with a big kabuki brush but it always used to leave brush marks all over my face and foundation. I've never been unhappy with the finish of my foundation when using a Beauty Blender, and it's amazing for blending out concealer, under eye concealer and cream highlight/contour. I personally wash my Beauty Blender every time I use it, mainly because I find that it soaks a lot of product in which then makes it not blend out as nicely when it's dirty. I've tried the Real Techniques sponge but I just don't like that one as much, it's a bit too big and firm. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The final item is a curling wand! I've tried so many curling wands that just haven't worked for me. My hair is particularly difficult to curl because it's long and very very thick, so usually the curls just drop out. Also now that my hair is blonde on the ends it holds curls a lot easier- this is the only curling wand I've used that's ever been able to create curls that hold. This wand came with 3 detachable barrels, I think the one shown is the medium one, and I use it with with the heat glove so I don't burn myself (although I've burnt myself loads because I'm clumsy). I've also just bought a hair dryer from the same brand. </span></div>

As with all products what works for one person may not work for someone else so I would always advise that you do research and look at a full spectrum of reviews! Let me know any different blog posts or reviews you'd like to see- I'd be happy for some requests!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I'm showing you the makeup look I wore for my birthday night out! It's a brown smokey eye using Makeup Geek eyeshadows with glitter on the lid and a second winged glitter liner. This is obviously quite a dramatic makeup look (as most of my makeup looks are) but I feel like a special event definitely warrants the use of glitter! Any lip colour would go with this look but I decided to go with one of favourite nude shades which wouldn't detract from the drama of the eyes. This is one of my favourite looks so far, definitely appropriate for a celebration!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'd never heard of this brand before I saw certain gurus talking about it on YouTube when I decided to try it. Translucent powder is always quite a handy thing to have, especially if you're like me and you can quite often be between different foundation shades. This powder is cheap and great quality, lots of people often compare it to the Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder, I haven't tried that one so I can't comment on that but for the price difference, I'm very happy with this one. I usually use a pressed powder which adds coverage and then I use this to bake my nose and forehead- they're the two areas of my face which doesn't hold makeup very well, especially my nose. I'm not sure of any retailer which sells this product however I get mine from Amazon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, this product has come straight from YouTube. A lot of beauty gurus rave about this product although I'd never seen it sold anywhere. I was expecting this brand to come with a hefty price tag but to my delight it is only £12.50, only slightly more expensive than 'drugstore' products. EX1 is a brand geared towards those with olive/yellow skin tones as pretty much all of their skin products have yellow undertones, which is fine for me as that's what I like, if you're looking for something more neutral/pink, this brand might not be for you. This foundation has great coverage, it blends out really well and is a good mid point between matte and dewy (depending on how you set it). I also really like the packaging, it has a pump and also has the type of mechanism which pushes the product up from the bottom which means you end up using all of the product and don't end up with loads of foundation in the bottom which you can't get to. I'm really impressed with this foundation, it's quickly becoming one of my favourites, the only criticism is that I can only really wear this shade when I'm tanned so I'd love it if they could come out with a paler shade.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't claim to be majorly into skincare or skincare products but when I find a product which actually agrees with my skin and makes a difference, I stick with it. I have combination skin which can go from being super dry to super oily throughout the day. As the weather has gotten colder it's tended to be on the drier side so I had a look for a more intensive moisturiser. I really like this product, it sinks into the skin very quickly and doesn't feel oily or slimy once it's been applied. That being said, I only use this moisturiser at night, not under makeup as it's quite thick, and I prefer something thinner and lighter so it doesn't move my makeup around. Additionally, a little goes a long way with this product and I think its a very reasonable price for the quantity and quality you receive.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Kiehl's is a brand renowned for their excellent skincare products and I've definitely been impressed with my first ever product from them, I'll definitely be investing in more.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've had this product for a while, but up until the past month haven't really found a proper use for it. This concealer is the most intense I've used in terms of coverage and pigment, although, as you can probably tell from the picture it is VERY thick. For me, it's too thick to use under my eyes, as my under eye skin can tend to be on the dry side. I also don't really tend to spot conceal either as I can generally find my desired coverage from foundation and powder. I like to use this concealer to clean up under my brows and also as a eye primer. Once it's set with a white it makes the colour of eyeshadows a lot more vibrant and gets rid of any discolouration of the eyelid. While this product is expensive it will last forever, it's so pigmented that you only need a drop each time you use it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've reached for this palette most days this month, it's fantastic. Unlike my other Morphe palettes which are enormous, this is great so that I can carry it around if I'm not getting ready at home or touching up my makeup. It's got everything you need to create a range of different looks, and for my personal preference I could wear a warm smoky eye everyday. I got my palette from Beauty Bay, although I don't think it's available anymore, it might just be sold out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #686868;">Hi! Today I'm showing you this brown smokey eye with gold on the lid and nude lips. This look also has some pretty intense eyeliner, but obviously this is totally optional and if you wanna do bigger wings/no wings, thats totally up to you. I've worn a nude lip with this although I feel like most lip colours would suit this eye makeup, especially perhaps a dark brown or deep red. For this look I'm using one of my favourite palettes at the moment, the Morphe 12NB which is great for smoky neutral looks such as this one.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I'm showing you some things I purchased from Colour Pop cosmetics. This is the first time I've ever bought anything from Colour Pop as they're an American Brand which have only recently starting shipping to the UK. Colour Pop is an extremely affordable brand and I've heard really really good things about them so I was really excited to try them out. I thought it would be helpful to include shipping information so that if you're wanting to try this brand you can know what kind of shipping times to expect. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I ordered these products on the 28th September, I received a shipping notification on the 3rd of October (this is longer than I'd expect although I did receive an email telling me so) and I received my package 10th October after paying a customs charge. I can only compare this to my orders from Jeffree Star (as these are the only other things I've bought from America) for which the international shipping was $10.95 compared to Colour Pop's $25 which was quite expensive in my opinion. Additionally all but one of my Jeffree Star packages has arrived within one week which I thought was exceptional compared to Colour Pop's 2 weeks. Taking all of this into account Colour Pop is a lot more inexpensive so I can forgive these things (perhaps not the shipping cost though). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first things I bought were some matte eyeshadows. I've heard some things saying that their matte eyeshadows are a strange consistency so I only got 3. I haven't tried them yet so can't comment on that but the shades I got were (L-R): Paradox, Central Perk & Beverly. They're deep reds and purples which is great going into autumn. I'll try them out and let you know how I like them. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also got a selection of shimmers which I have actually tried and they're amazing, especially when you just apply them with your finger. They're very pigmented and creamy. I got 3 shades (L-R): Game Face, Kathleen Lights & Drift. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also picked up another eyeshadow but this one has a considerable amount of shimmer and glitter through it. I thought it would be great for a really intense inner corner/brow bone highlight and because I'm quite fair I thought this one would show up on me the best. This is in the shade Tassel.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I got two highlighters, as you can see from the photo one of them arrived smashed although because of the formula it was quite easy to press it back into some sort of useable shape. The shades I got were Stole The Show (L) & Hippo (R). I bought the purple one to try and experiment as I've only ever just used normal highlighter colours.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also decided to pick up this gel liner. I usually always wear some kind of winged liner so I'm always open to trying new gel liners. This one is in the shade Swerve as it's just a black colour. If I like the formula I'll probably try some of their brighter shades. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The last face product I got was a bronzer in the shade Bon Voyage. It seemed to be the best shade for me considering I'm quite pale. Colour Pop is very affordable so at only $8 (£6.50) I thought it wouldn't be too much of a disaster if I didn't like it. Again, I haven't tried it out properly yet but it seems like a great colour when I've swatched it.</span></div>

They come in a variety of finishes: matte, satin, gloss. I got a selection of colours and finishes to try them out, the shades I got were (L-R): Pitch, Taurus, Skimpy, Tootsi, Aquarius & Kiddo. Again, they're a very reasonable price at $5 (£4) so I'll try them out and report back. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Colour Pop sells liquid lipsticks in 4 formulas: matte, satin, metallic and gloss; metallic and gloss aren't really for me so I thought I'd give the other 2 a go. The shade on the left is Prim and on the right is Littlestitious, these are the satin formula. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally I picked up their matte liquid lipsticks as, generally, I prefer a matte finish with lip products in general. Shades (L-R): Trap, Kae, Times Square, Lax, Vice. I got a good mixture between nudes and darker more vampy colours. I can't wait to try these, it would be really good to find a slightly more affordable brand of liquid lipsticks which perform similarly to my more expensive ones.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kat Von D has tried her hand at almost everything, she began of course tattooing but more recently she's entered into the makeup world. Her makeup brand started small and as slowly grown over the past few years being stocked by Sephora and have also now branched out to the UK. Her makeup line includes liquid lipsticks, bullet lipsticks, foundation, powder, eyeshadows and more recently she's released a concealer which I want to try! I have 8 shades of her Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks, 'Bow N Arrow', 'Vampira', 'Damned', 'Witches', 'Outlaw', 'Nosferatu', 'Exorcism' & 'Lolita'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I got these liquid lipsticks in two lots, 4 from Sephora and 4 from Debenhams UK. Kat Von D only released her brand in the UK within the last month online at Debenhams. Obviously I'm glad to have this brand a lot more accessible to me than it had previously been, however, it would have been nice to be able to try and buy the products in-store, especially foundations and concealers which are difficult to colour match online- hopefully this is in the pipeline. These products are $20 and £16 which work out as the same price when converted which is good as sometimes American products are slightly more expensive once the exchange rate has been considered. Additionally, there is a difference between the shade selection offered between Sephora and Debenhams, there are fewer shades offered by Debenhams. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One fact that Kat Von D prides herself on is that all of her products are completely cruelty-free and vegan. This is unsurprising as she herself is vegan and I feel there's a large movement happening in the cosmetics industry to strive for cruelty-free altogether which Kat Von D is very vocal about, understandably.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I really like the packaging of this product, Kat Von D's entire makeup line shares the same gothic feel which is typical of her style and she designs all of this herself. The tube is long and thin which makes it slightly more difficult to store than my other lipsticks as they don't fit in some kinds of acrylic drawers but this isn't a massive issue. The applicator is quite a small thin doe-foot (as pictured) which honestly isn't my favourite. For me, I find it liquid lipsticks easier to apply when they've got a slightly bigger rounded applicator. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I really really like these products, although honestly they're not the best liquid lipsticks I've tried. I've already included the shade Bow N Arrow as being my ride or die lip product which says a lot about how much I like these although my main criticism is that they can tend to be a bit patchy, especially darker shades. Obviously I don't have the entire collection but with the darker red shades (especially the shade Damned) it can tend to go a bit patchy and not completely opaque. This isn't a massive problem as long as you're careful when you apply and spend a little bit more time doing so. Another thing I've learned is to work with these in very thin layers as if you apply a really thick amount of product at once it can go a little chunky- although this is a common problem with liquid lipsticks so if you're used to using them in general you'll already be aware of this. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overall I think these products are great for a very acceptable price. They are long wearing and dry down quickly to completely matte. They're comfortable on the lips & don't transfer. Now that they're available in the UK, with the rest of Kat Von D's brand, they're a lot more accessible and I really like that she's branching out all over the world. I'd definitely recommend these, they're not the cheapest (for those looking for cheaper lip products I'm on the search and will be reviewing those soon) but they're definitely great quality for a fair price- I'm always willing to pay slightly more for vegan & cruelty-free products regardless.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know you're probably sick of hearing about Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks but they are genuinely my favourite brand. I've been slowly building my collection of this brand and picking up new ones as they become available. One of the latest additions is 'Celebrity Skin' which is a warm, darkish nude. It goes with basically any makeup look, it's long lasting and suits a range of skin tones. I've been wearing it pretty much non-stop over the past month and it's become my favourite go-to shade to wear. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bobbi Brown isn't a brand which I've had much to do with but I'd heard so many good reviews about this product I decided I needed to try it out. This is a moisturiser and face primer designed to be used before make up. I've been using this product for about 6 weeks now which I think is important to decide whether skin care products actually work and make a difference. I absolutely love this product, it smells fresh and citrusy and feels really soft on the skin. Most importantly it makes a genuine difference when it comes to the application of makeup- it creates an amazing, moisturised soft base for makeup. It doesn't do much for the actual longevity of makeup, for this I use Nivea Men After Shave Balm but the two products work amazingly together. As a high end skin care product this product is inevitably expensive (£40) however you don't need a lot of product and it's definitely worth the money. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I've said before I've never ever found a mascara I've been majorly overwhelmed with or that has blown me away. That being said I'm really really impressed with this mascara from Maybelline. It has a small, curved wand which is great for getting right into the roots of the lashes and builds them up. I usually use another mascara to add thickness but this one is the best I've used so far to separate and add length. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One thing I don't really know much about is hair. I'm quite lazy with my hair, I don't really style it most days and I don't get it cut as often as I should. I've recently gone very blonde on the bottom 3/4 of my hair and one thing I was worried about was it looks dry and unhealthy. I was recommended this to combat that and I absolutely love it. I put a few drops of this through the mid to ends of my hair when its wet and also once it's dry when I've styled it. It gets rid of fly aways and also is absorbed into the hair without making it look greasy. Additionally, it smells absolutely amazing and because you only need a few drops it lasts forever, especially if you don't wash your hair that often. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Hi!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I'm doing something a bit different and showing you different ways you can amp up your makeup if you're wanting to transform it to night-out appropriate. There are several ways you can do this but the aim of this post is to show that almost all makeup looks can be worn in a casual daytime setting or, by changing a few elements, can be worn for fully blown nights out. These are also good tips if you're short for time for getting ready for a night out or can't be bothered to take all your makeup off and reapply. The basis of all these makeup looks are the same: the same foundation, powder, brow products and eyeshadows have been used. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first makeup look is a quite natural one (for me). It has no lashes and no eyeliner, which for me are the two things which can take a makeup look from day to night time. Obviously if you feel happy enough wearing this makeup look on a night out then all power to you, but for me it's too simple. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second look is pretty much the same as the first, just slightly more dramatic and fine tuned but also with the addition of lashes. The brows are slightly heavier and I've chiselled them out with concealer, and also added Ardell Demi Wispies. Because I have such small eyes adding eyelashes really makes a lot of difference for me. All the face and eye products are the same as in the previous photo.</span></div>

All the products used on the face are the same, just more product has been used. The brows are a lot sharper still and more dramatic and also I've used more bronzer and contoured more harshly- but still all with the same products. The main difference is on the eyes, I've added a black winged liner, false lashes, bright colour on the lower lash liner and also a second line of winged liner in bright yellow. Additionally, I've gone with a much more dramatic lip [Dominatrix Liquid Lipstick]- one of the quickest and easiest ways of adding drama to a look is to change the lip colour from nude to something either brighter or darker. </span></div>

I really love these makeup looks and Makeup Geek shadows are so high quality and easy to work with, you should definitely check them out if you haven't already.</span></div>

</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I'm showing you some things I purchased from Beauty Bay- a website here in the UK which stocks lots of brands which can be difficult to get ahold of. I also bought a few bits from Boots and stocked up on lashes but I thought I'd just include them in this post anyway! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first things I bought were these Morphe palettes. The top one is the 35k (Colour Koffee palette) which is a lovely selection of warm browns with a mixture of matte and shimmers. The bottom left is the 12NB palette (Natural Beauty palette), again warm shades with a few shimmers in there. What really attracted me to this palette was the size- a lot of my palettes are quite big and not good for travelling or carrying about in a makeup bag, on a usual day I'll wear a warm smoky eye so I thought this would be ideal for using on the go. The final thing from Morphe was the 12P palette (Picasso palette). Again, this is for me to try and experiment a lot more with colour and this has the main primary colours all in one place so it's ideal. Morphe is a great brand, very very affordable with buttery, pigmented shadows. I'd recommend to everyone.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The next brand which I purchased was Makeup Geek, who, in my opinion, have some of the best eyeshadows available. They're pigmented, buttery, and very easy to blend. Additionally they have an amazing range of colours which they sell by the pan, so you can pick and choose exactly what colours you want. The colours I chose were: Chickadee (top left), Mango Tango (top middle), Poppy (top right), Cherry Cola (middle left), Mocha (middle right) & Dragonfly (bottom). They're all warm shades except for Dragonfly which I just really liked the colour of and I'm going to try and use in a more colourful look. Makeup Geek is a fantastic, affordable brand and I highly recommend them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Milani is a brand which I haven't really had a lot to do with except for my love of their cult baked blush 'Luminoso'. They're a very affordable brand with a large range of products so I thought I'd pick a few things up to try. The first is a beautiful baked bronzer and as I liked my Makeup Revolution baked bronzer so much I thought I'd give this a go. The shade is 'Soleil' and as far as I'm aware is the only one on the Beauty Bay website- I'll definitely try this out and report back.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also picked up 3 of their matte liquid lipsticks- I've seen a lot of good things about Milani's lip products from various beauty gurus so I thought I may as well give them a go. The shades I bought are 10- Adorable (left), 19- Covet (middle) & 20- Sugar (right). I haven't tried them properly yet, I've only swatched them but from my first impressions of that they look amazing. I'll try them properly and report back!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also invested in another Beauty Blender. I've already got a pink and a black one so I thought I may as well get the nude one as well. I use and wash my Beauty Blender every day so they do tend to get quite worn out quite quickly. I read somewhere the other day that you're supposed to replace your makeup sponges around every 3 months, which I definitely do not, so I thought it was about time to get a new one. </span></div>

I've got a couple of highlight and contour pans which don't really belong in my large eyeshadow Z Palette so I thought I'd get this for them to live in. Additionally, I thought it would be ideal if I wanted to travel with a few single eyeshadows, I could just pop them in here rather than carrying round a full sized Z Palette. </span></div>

The top 3 shades are Porcelain, the one I usually use and the lightest shade they do, but I also bought the shade Light Ivory for when I've got a few layers of fake tan on, or to spot conceal on my face. This is a very good, affordable concealer so if you're not looking to splash out give it a go.</span></div>

It's made from quite thick plastic and feels sturdy and fits a decent amount of products in. I'm really glad I bought this!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also find it difficult to believe that before buying these I did not own ANY glitter. I had glittery eyeshadows or shimmers etc but no loose glitter. I thought I'd pick up two pots of loose glitter from Violet Voss to try. The first shade is a golden colour called Golden Fairy and the second is a bright purple called Paige. I think they'll be great for adding a bit more drama to a look and especially at the moment, glitter is really on trend (although there's literally no way I'll be putting it anywhere near my hair because I'd never be able to get it out). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second thing I bought were 2 of the Blotting Powders, in Light & Light Medium. They're marketed as setting powders which don't have too much pigment therefore aren't adding too much coverage to the face. These will be good for more natural makeup looks or for touching up during the day, I'm going to try the light one to set under my eyes as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally I bought some refills for my favourite NYX Contour Kit, these are a light slightly pinkier shade called Soft Light. They're very affordable so whenever I see them I just grab a few. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, I stocked up on some of my favourite lashes. Ardell Demi Wispies are sold quite commonly in the UK for around £6 per pair, including on Beauty Bay and in Boots, however you can get these 4 packs on Amazon for just under £8 each! I also thought I'd try the full Wispies which are a bit bigger (they could prove a bit too big for my eyes) and I picked up a few different brands, Eyelure, Morphe and Red Cherry- all very affordable. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! Today I'm showing you the products I used to create this bright purple eye with white liner. It goes without saying that it's definitely not the most wearable of looks but it was really fun to create and I think it looks really cool. I'm really enjoying experimenting with makeup a bit more outside my comfort zone as I think we can all get stuck in ruts sometimes. Obviously the main focus is on the eyes so I've kept the lips nice and simple although if you wanted to make this look even more bold you could add a colourful lip. Here are the products I used:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hiya! Today I'm showing you my 'Ride or Die' makeup products- these are my ultimate one favourite product from each category (foundation, concealer, bronzer etc). I first saw this on YouTube by Jaclyn Hill and thought it would be a good idea for a blog post! I'm always interested to know what others' ultimate favourite products are and if anyone has the same ones as I do! I've tried to give a little explanation of why I love this product so much so this post is slightly lengthy!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #666666; text-align: justify;">This Nivea After Shave Balm basically broke the internet after Nikkie Tutorials stumbled upon it as a really good face primer. The reason why it's so good is that it contains a lot of Glycerin, an ingredient which is an adhesive and as such whatever you put on top of it literally sticks to it. Suffice to say this product doesn't do a lot for controlling oil or minimising pores but it really does improve the longevity of makeup and you could always use a pore filling primer in targeted areas. Not only is it effective but it's also cheap- as it's not a beauty product this only retails for about £5-£6 and you get a load of product. Anyone who's looking for something to get their makeup to last all day </span><span style="color: #666666; text-align: justify;">should definitely give this a try!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I feel like everyone is always on the look out for their Holy Grail foundation. It took me a while, and a lot of money, to find mine, but it definitely is the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation (this is in the shade Punjab although I wear Deauville when I am not fake tanned). This foundation is just amazing. NARS foundations do tend to have quite yellow undertones though so if you're pinky it might be slightly difficult finding the right shade for you. The coverage is amazing, not sheer as the name would suggest and I love the finish. It is semi-dewy although depending on how you set it you could achieve a very dewy or very matte finish. Another bonus of this foundation is that it has no SPF- this isn't a problem for me here in Newcastle, England where the sun rarely shines, however, if you're in warmer climates I would suggest adding SPF. SPF in foundations causes bounce-back in flash photography, so, if your foundation has SPF in, which about 90% of foundations do, your face will look a lot paler than the rest of your body in the photo. This foundation is perfect for nights out or events where you know you're going to have pictures taken of you and your whole body can match. This isn't the cheapest of foundations (£31) but it genuinely is worth it and I will always be repurchasing this foundation. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Generally, I only use concealer to highlight my face (under eyes, forehead, chin) as I can usually get my desired coverage from foundation and powder as I don't have majorly problematic skin. The issue I always have with concealer is their colour, they're never light enough to achieve a highlighted effect! A few concealers I have found which are light enough are NARS Creamy Radiant Concealer [Chantilly] and Lasting Perfection Concealer [Fair] although the formula of both of these products is quite thick and they tend to look a bit cakey especially on my occasionally dry under eye area. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I got this last year and it is everything you could want in a concealer. I use the shade Fair Neutral which is light enough to be highlighting, it's also amazing coverage while still being a thinner consistency and easier to blend. Again, not the cheapest of products (£17.50) but a little goes a long way and it's definitely worth it. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This contour palette is just amazing, I love and use every single shade and I love how the pans are refillable and customisable. I use the shades Bone (white), Soft Light (a light pink) and Cream (banana yellow) to highlight under my eyes, which one I use depends on my varying degree of paleness. I do also really like the bronzer and contour shades but they're not my ride or die of those categories.</span></div>

Additionally the refills on the pans are only £3.25 so this is so affordable and great quality. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Face powders are always a bit hit and miss for me. I've got combination skin meaning that when I apply my makeup my skin feels quite dry and dehydrated, but during the course of the day I do get oily, especially in my T-Zone. I also do look for extra coverage from my face powders as I just enjoy a full coverage look in general. This powder from Kat Von D is everything I was looking for. It adds extra coverage without looking cakey or chunky and paired with my favourite foundation it just makes my skin look absolutely flawless. In addition it's very long wearing and I can trust it to keep my makeup in place throughout the day. Again, it's a higher end product and retails at $35 but I use mine every day it lasts a long time!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anastasia Beverly Hills is queen of brows so it's no surprise that my favourite brow-filler product is the Dipbrow Pomade. I used to use the shade Dark Brown but switched to Chocolate as I found Dark Brown to be too cool toned for my hair. A little of this product goes a long way, it's easy to use (I use mine with a ABH small angled brow brush) and gives a great effect to the brows. It's £15 per tub but it lasts a life time- I know people have complained about theirs drying out but this hasn't happened with either of mine, I just ensure to replace the cap every time I use it. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For ages I didn't realise what a difference brow gels made, I always used brow products on their own and didn't set them. Using a brow gel or brow mascara sets all the hairs in place and faces them the way that you want them to face. I usually brush the hairs at the front of my brows upwards and then the rest of the hairs flat towards the tail. This ensures you can get a sharper brow with a more definite shape without errand hairs going all over the place ruining it. This brow gel is the perfect colour and consistency. It also contains tiny little fibres which cling to your natural brows and help make them look fuller, which I love. Best of all this brow gel is bullet proof, to the point where, at the end of the day, I have to completely scrub my brows to get the product off. This product is only £5.99 and I've had mine for over a year and there's still loads of product left in there- definitely recommend. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This one was difficult! I have quite a few eyeshadow palettes and making this decision was really hard, but it came down to two, this one and the Morphe 35o palette (of course). On a normal day warm smoky eyes are everything I want and I genuinely feel like this palette just encapsulates that. Obviously the Morphe 35o is all warm shades as well but what really sets this palette apart for me is the quality of the shadows, they're the best I've ever used, so pigmented, buttery and blendable. I am genuinely in love with this palette, despite having only had it for around 4-5 months and I'd still recommend it to everyone looking for warm shadows. This palette is £41 but worth every penny in my opinion. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyone who knows me knows that I ALWAYS have winged liner on, it's the one part of my makeup that I can't go without. As you can therefore imagine I've tried SO many liquid liners hoping to find the perfect one. What's most important to me is the width of the brush- I've got really small eyes with not a lot of eyelid space so if the brush is too wide my liner is too thick and takes up too much of my eyelid. This liquid liner has the smallest, most narrow little brush I've used meaning that you can keep a nice thin line and also get a very very sharp point at the wing. I have to admit that this liner isn't the best for actually filling in the wing, for that I use the NYX matte black liquid liner but this one is my ultimate for getting the outline and it's also only £5.29- bargain!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To be honest I still don't feel like I've found my ultimate Holy Grail mascara but out of all the ones I've used this is definitely my favourite. As with liquid liner, what I'm most looking for in a mascara wand is something small and precise. Massive wands are so difficult for me to use and I always end up smearing mascara all over my eyelids so for me smaller is better. This mascara is £15 from the eyeko website although this one I have here was a free sample I got from Beauty Bay- I'll definitely be purchasing it full size. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yet another issue with having small eyes is finding eyelashes that aren't going to look too big and too bold. Demi Wispies by Ardell fit my eyes perfectly and also because they're longer on the outside they give that cat eye effect which I love and suits a dramatic winged liner look, which is usually what I'm wearing. They're also reasonably inexpensive, around £6 per pack, although you can get them cheaper online. I am still searching for slightly more dramatic lashes but I will always return to these. </span></div>

Given, I don't use boat loads as I am quite pale and don't need to, but that's because this product is so pigmented. It does have a matte finish, so isn't the most natural of products but I genuinely love the way this product looks on the skin and not forgetting it smells absolutely incredible. It is £25 but for the quality and the time I've had it it's absolutely worth it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Contour powders are always a difficult one for me, if they're even the slightest bit too warm they can look like a big muddy splodge all over your face. This powder is just the right amount of cool toned that it looks a lot more natural, like an actual shadow on your face where your natural contour line would be. Additionally, the powder is so buttery and blendable, it doesn't leave streaks all over your face in a stark line. Yes, at £35, it is expensive but finding the right contour shade can be so important to bring a whole look together. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me start this by saying I do not like blushes. I have a lot of natural redness in my face which I work quite hard to cover up, so the idea of putting redness back onto my face doesn't really agree with me. However, I do really like this one blush by Milani. It's very very popular amongst online beauty gurus. It's not too strong in colour but it's just formulated so that it adds a really nice glow to the skin, blending into bronzer and contour beautifully. It's very inexpensive, around £6, and although I don't use a lot of blush it does last a long time- I've had mine over 3 years and it looks basically new. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It can be very difficult to find highlighters for those with pale skin, a lot of the time they're not light enough or don't show up properly. I do quite like quite a strong highlight, especially on the end of my nose, and despite trying quite a few different highlighting kits (ABH, Sleek, Becca) nothing compares to this one, for me. It's a pale yellowish colour but isn't at all chunky and it blends out well, meaning you can avoid that stark line of highlight which can sometimes happen. I think this retails in UK stores for about £20, although you can get it cheaper on Amazon. Again with all these products I'd had mine years and had only just hit pan on it until I dropped it and smashed it everywhere, I've obviously repurchased as I can't live without it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not Jeffree Star Dominatrix Liquid Lipstick!? Yes I absolutely love Dominatrix Velour Liquid Lipstick and if I could wear it every day without it looking inappropriate, I would, but the sad fact is it isn't the most wearable of shades. The colour I find myself reaching for most often is Bow N Arrow, an Everlasting Liquid Lipstick by Kat Von D. This shade is amazing, it's a slightly darkish nude brown but goes with so many makeup looks and I just think it would suit almost anyone. I especially like lightening up the centre with either NYX soft matte lip cream in Cairo (although this can transfer) or I'm Nude by Jeffree Star. Kat Von D liquid lipsticks are great quality and very reasonably priced ($18), I can't wait until she launches her brand in the UK next month!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This one was another difficult one, it was either this or the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. What swung it for this one is how well it settles powders on my face. I do tend to use a lot of powders to achieve a full coverage finish but that means it can often look a bit too powdery and too matte, if that's not your thing spraying a setting spray when you've finished your makeup will take away that excess powder and give you a slightly dewier finish. I absolutely love the way this feels when you spray it on your face, it's so refreshing and it smells and feels amazing. It is £17.50 but if you try not to completely douse your face every day it lasts a long time! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have to admit that I've been stuck in a bit of a bronzer rut this year and I generally don't branch out or feel the need to branch out. I've been in love with the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer for about 3 years and a lot of the time when I have tried new bronzers I've found them a bit too warm for me. However, I decided to pick this up as I've heard good things about Makeup Revolution in general and for only £4 I thought it wouldn't be a disaster if I didn't like it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Obviously it's inclusion in my favourites post means that I really like it, and the fact that it's so affordable makes it even better. It's pigmented but not so much so that it leaves streaks all over your face, and it blends out amazingly. Additionally, the fact that it's baked means that it's not matte, it's glowy and replicates a real tan and the way skin would actually look if it was sun-kissed (something which mine never is). From what I can gather from the website, this is the second darkest of 4 shades and I'll definitely be picking those up for when I'm slightly more or less tanned. Overall I'm really impressed with this product and the price is an added bonus, it's definitely made me want to invest in more Makeup Revolution products. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As with bronzers, I've had a very set brow routine for the best part of a year now (ABH Dipbrow & L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper) but this little brow gel caught my eye when I was placing an order on Sephora. I've never really owned anything from Tarte, although I think that's mainly because they're not readily available in the UK and until a few months ago I'd never bought anything from Sephora. I love this product because of it's tiny little applicator. It's so small and precise so I use it to brush the hairs at the front of my brows upwards. They've got a great selection of colours and this one [Rich Brown] suits me perfectly. I've already got a list as long as my arm of Tarte products that I want to buy, but they'll have to wait until I do a big Sephora shop! </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Does this product really need an introduction? Anyone who likes makeup and likes warm eyeshadows will already know about this palette. It's taken me a while to get my hands on and I am aware it's very difficult to get ahold of, but, if you get the opportunity, you should definitely take it. I got mine from Beauty Bay about 3 seconds after I got an email from them saying it had been restocked. It was £34.50 but to be honest it could've been a lot more than that and I still would've bought it. The shades are amazing, they're pigmented, buttery and there's a nice range of mattes and shimmers. It's basically all you could ever need and for under £2 per pan I think it's great value as well. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Something not makeup you say? (Yes I'm aware I'm talking to myself) but yes, not makeup! I've had to include this because I've just been in love with it this month. I'm also aware there's no actual product in this photo but I haven't had the chance to repurchase just yet. This smells amazing, it's a mixture of oats, maple, banana and almond. It's a coarse sugary scrub which is the best for exfoliating. I exfoliate my skin about 2-3 times per week and go extra hard the day or day before I fake tan. I'd also really recommend this for getting those stubborn bits of fake tan off before you want to reapply. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I'm showing you a few products which I recently purchased. All of this is 'drugstore' makeup (affordable brands) which I purchased from Boots here in the UK. Most of this is from the brand NYX which is a relatively new brand in the UK, but it's quickly become one of my favourites- it's very cheap and great quality. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing I bought was a restock of one of my favourite foundations (featured in my July favourites post) the Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless foundation. I also bought a darker shade in what I can only assume is the same foundation but I don't really know why the packaging is different. The shade I use when I'm pale is 105 Natural Ivory and the darker shade I bought to try is 128 Warm Nude. I'll report back on whether I like that shade but it seems to have a strong yellow undertone which is good for me. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Staying on the Maybelline track I also bought the face powder from the same range as the previous foundations. I've heard good things about this whole range so thought I may as well pick this up at the same time. I got a shade which is between my light and dark shades although it's a lot easier to make powders which are the wrong shade work than a foundation which isn't the right shade. </span></div>

I meant to get 2 of the banana shades [Cream] and 2 of the lighter more pink shade [Soft Light] but for some reason I ended up buying 4 of the banana shade colour (welcome to my life). Oh well, at least I won't need to restock those any time soon!</span></div>

In addition I bought the white version of my favourite eyeliner to try and be slightly different. I'm going to try and experiment a bit more with colour and hopefully looks incorporating these new products will be coming soon. </span></div>

The only problem is I can't seem to see the names of the shades that I bought. The top shade is 03, the middle 12 and the bottom 10. I'm really happy with the shades I've chosen and I'll report back on the formula. I'm not sure what finish they're meant to achieve, whether they dry down matte or are a satin finish but I'll try them out and let you all know! </span></div>

It's quite a bright pinky/cranberry eye with dewy/glowy skin and nude lips. I didn't want the lips to be too bold as to detract from the eyes as they're the main focus of this look and I love them! I'm absolutely in love with this makeup and I'm glad I'm trying to branch out of my warm smoky-eyed rut. All the products I used will be listed down below:</span></div>
