Nyx Butter Gloss ♡

Hello, ♡
Here are my two favourite Butter Glosses from Nyx!

♡Creme Brulee- Creme Brulee is a pink toned nude. One layer leaves your lips with a soft baby pink glow, however when more layers are applied a strong pink colour can be achieved.

♡Tiramisu- Although the two shades are very similar (I'm a nude lip wearer hehe), Tiramisu is more of a brown toned nude that creates the perfect nude gloss.

These glosses are the creamiest, most moisturising glosses I've tried and I can't wait to try more shades! Also, the smell is DELICIOUS! Like sweets and desserts and all things yum!

You can grab these glosses here for £5 (an amazing price for such a good product), and they are also available in some Next stores around the UK!

Hope you enjoyed!

Liz Earle | The Skin Saviour ♡

Hello & Welcome Back ♡

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's day can be completely ruined when having a bad skin day? It's got to be the most annoying and frustrating thing when you go through a little spurt of having a few spots that just wont budge!

I went through this a couple of weeks ago, where my skin was the worst it's been for years! I have relatively good skin with the occasional break out (girls you know what I mean) but never how it was through this strange phase. My chin and forehead broke out and nothing I tried worked until I made a Liz Earle order online.

I'd already used the 'Cleanse & Polish' and loved it so decided that I need to splurge on Liz Earle skin care in order to get my skin back to normal. It just so happened that on the day I ordered there was a special offer on skincare named 'Superskin' for £45 +pp which came with:

ღHot Cloth, Cleanse & Polish

ღInstant Boost Skin Tonic

ღInstant Boost Skin Tonic Mini Spritz

ღGentle Face Exfoliator

ღSkin Repair Moisturiser

The parcel was beautifully packaged making the whole shopping experience more enjoyable, and it makes you feel valued as a customer. It also came with a little book about everything they sell at Liz Earle.

There wasn't a single product that I didn't love and my skin cleared up instantly! I honestly can't express how impressed I am but I will be buying Liz Earle forever more (no exaggerations here!)

The products where gentle and soothing and showed an instant difference. The tonic's smell fresh and natural and the spritz really refreshes the skin when you need a boost. Also the moisturiser is creamy and thick yet sinks into the skin without hassle.

Although the same superskin range is not longer available, they have a new superskin range available here and honestly if you know whats good then you must go and buy it now! 

My absolute skin saviour! ♡

FOTD| Face Of The Day- High End ♡

Welcome back! ♡

In my previous post, I showed you my 'face of the day' using drugstore products, which is the sort of makeup I would wear on a daily basis. This post is going to be the higher end version. Although the products I've used are higher end, I would still wear this as a daily look however would also wear it out for dinner or simple outings with friends and family.

I found prepping my skin was really important to get the final glowy finish I wanted without using a highlighter. I've tried to centre this look around the eyes by adding a small amount of shadow, highlighting my tear duct, adding liner and adding volume to my lashes. To compliment the eyes I simple created a light flush to my cheeks, and a 'your lips but better' shade to my lips. Here are the products I used:

♡ Perricone- Blue Plasma £79
I use this to prep my skin before my moisturiser. The smallest drop goes a long way and after smoothing on, my skin instantly looks 100 times better! It contains the same ingredients as some skin peels but obviously without making my skin fall off which gives my skin a fresh glow before I've even started with make-up. Once you've used it, you can definitely understand the price.

♡ Aesop- Control £15
Another prep product! I apply this before my makeup to any blemishes i have, which keeps them from becoming any worse! It also reduces redness, so an overall must have product.

♡ Laura Mercier- Silk Creme Foundation £34
My favourite ever foundation! Honestly a holy grail in my collection, it smoothes on so evenly and you need the smallest bit each time meaning the tube lasts a long time. The finish is silky (as the name suggests, duuuh) and leaves a flawless and dewy look which is personally my favourite finish.

♡Arbonne- Got You Covered £29
I have the shade bronze in this powder and although its a finishing powder/foundation, I use this as a bronzer to contour and generally bronze my face. The finish is silky like the Laura Mercier foundation so the duo really compliment each other.

♡Chanel- Joues Contrast Powder Blush £31
I use the shade 'Rose Initiale' which is a soft pink colour that creates a slight flush of colour to the cheeks. Not too much but not too little! The perfect shade (and also it smells divine).

♡ Urban Decay- Naked 3 £37
I simply used the shade 'Trick' all over the lid after priming with the urban decay primer potion, followed by the shade 'Nooner' throughout the crease, and then 'Dust' on the inner corner.
This palette is the perfect palette to take you from day to night, it has a wide range of colours so you're never short on a different look!

♡Dior- Dior Addict Lipstick 'Tailleur Bar' £24
Obviously Dior lipsticks are going to be good but I can't get over how much I love this! It is the perfect shade, which is very similar to my natural lip colour but with shimmer and gloss. Adaptable to any look you're trying to create.

♡ Dior- Dior Addict Gloss 'Spring Ball' £22

Such a pretty pink gloss and thats all I can really say!

What do you think of this look and what are you favourite high end products?

FOTD | Face Of The Day- Drugstore ♡

Don't you love having a 'go-to' make-up look that you can apply effortlessly each day? I think we all must!

I have pretty much always used drugstore make-up over high end make-up for an everyday look simply because you can still get a flawless finish for less money (I know my bank would be thanking me if it knew how much damage would be done if I was using high end make-up everyday). For an everyday look I like to keep it simple with minimal eye makeup and mainly focusing on bronzed and dewy skin with a nude lip. Although wearing higher end makeup makes you feel good I think that for everyday use and a schedule including work and typical daily activities a cheap and cheerful drugstore look like this is totally acceptable!
Especially now it's summer here in England, I have been loving more moisturising and cream products, so here are a list of the products I have been using daily for my 'go-to daily look':

♡ Soap and Glory- Glow Job £7.33
     I use this as a base for my skin and love it! Not only does it act as a moisturiser, it also gives my face a lovely golden glow before I've even started to apply any make-up!
♡ Maybelline- Dream Fresh BB Cream £7.99
    I blend this in using my fingers, a bit like i would a moisturiser which evens out my skin tone    whilst giving me a reasonable amount of coverage. I love this BB Cream for its dewy texture and i love the finish it gives!
♡ Rimmel- Wake Me Up Concealer £5.49
     As the name suggests, this concealer definitely makes me look awake! I apply this under my eyes to brighten them up (it works) and dot a minimal amount on any imperfections that I feel need covering.
♡ Soap and Glory- Archery Brow and Tint Pencil £10.00
     Although quite pricey for what it is, this double ended eyebrow pencil makes filling in brows so much easier and enjoyable to do! I like a think and full brow and am really enjoying the look this creates!
♡ Nyx- Blusher in Taupe £6.00
    A taupe shade blush is the perfect colour for contouring. I simply take a bit on a brush a sweep across the top of my forehead and through the (non-existent) hollow of my cheeks to try and define my face.
♡ Bourjois Cream Blush in Shade 3 £7.99
   Although this applies as a cream blush, the finish is very matte and looks like a natural flush of colour to the cheeks. I find this perfect to apply over the bb cream, a dream combo!
♡ Maybelline- Rocket Volume Mascara £7.99
    I use this as the first coat of mascara to my lashes, I love the plastic brush which allows each lash to be evenly coated and it really does add volume :)
♡ Rimmel ScandalEyes Rocking Curves Mascara £7.99
    As the second coat to my mascara regime, this mascara is essential is adding the curl to my eyelashes. I am very fortunate to have naturally long and curled eyelashes so I never have to use an eyelash curler, however just for satisfaction I use this mascara as a little cheat!
♡ Rimmel- Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Nude Delight' £6.49
    This is the perfect orange toned nude! Not drying and has good lasting power, this is my ideal drugstore nude! I highly recommend if nude's are your go-to colour.
     

What are your favourite everyday drugstore products? Anything I should try throughout the summer?
