No matter what your budget is, there'll be something here for everyone! The beauty world can be very overwhelming and with new launches every week, it can be hard to know where to start. Here is a guide to all things...

Brand favourites - MAC lipsticks

For a long time now MAC Cosmetics has been my favourite brand for lipsticks. I love the quality, the different finishes and even the smell! So I thought I'd write a quick blog post about my favourite MAC lipsticks. Below are a couple of pictures showing swatches of my 8 favourites. As you can probably tell I really love my nudes- Kinda Sexy being my all time fave! It's such a gorgeous pinky/peachy...

MAC X Jamie Genevieve lipstick

  Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you will know that Jamie Genevieve is absolutely KILLING it right now.  She now has over 700k subscribers on her YouTube channel and over 1 million followers on Instagram! I love her videos, she always seems very down to earth, 'normal' and funny. She's an absolute babe as well!  It's no surprise that MAC Cosmetics...

Pretty Pout Cosmetics

Recently I came across a small makeup brand on Instagram, called Pretty Pout Cosmetics. I haven't tried anything else from the brand yet so I can't comment on that, but I bought this gorgeous bright eye shadow palette from them and I am in love!  This is the Oops- a - daisy palette. It's a gorgeous palette full of bright colours which I've been looking for for a while! The pigment...

The 60p eye shadows

Lets face it- we all love a good bargain now and again, especially when it comes to make up. So when I saw these eye shadows in Primark for 60p (YES that's 60 PENCE!) I just couldn't resist. I decided to just buy 2, thinking that they would probably be a bit crap, but I'm actually quite impressed. Now obviously I wasn't expecting them to be on the same quality level as my Anastasia palettes...

Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Palette

One palette that I don't get much use out of- but totally should, is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism. Although I absolutely love this palette, I tend to reach for other palettes instead because most days im kinda boring and just go for a neutral eye. (Even though you can definitely create a lovely neutral look with this palette!) Prism has so many beautiful colours though, and is so versatile....

Makeup Revolution Fast Base Foundation Sticks

I've been thinking about trying a stick foundation for the longest time after seeing endless reviews and tutorials all over Instagram and You Tube, however not only did I not know which to go for but up until now I've never found any that were in the more 'affordable' price bracket- i.e. drugstore! The Revolution Fast Base Foundation sticks come in at only £5 each and can be purchased in Superdrug...
