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. You can easily create a trusty old neutral eye or something more dramatic and colourful if you fancy! My favourite shade is sphere. It's a gorgeous bright yellow and looks stunning on the eye. Below is an eye look that I did using only the Prism palette, and I love it. The yellow (sphere) gives my eyes such a gorgeous pop of colour!

As with all Anastasia Beverly Hills Palettes, the formula is great! It's easy to blend, very pigmented- a little goes a long way, and the colours are beautiful. I also love the packaging of the ABH palettes as they always feel well made and strong which is a plus for anyone that takes their palettes with them when they travel. It also comes with a very handy (and good) brush! The only down side to this palette is that sometimes there can be some fall out, but if you do your eyes before the rest of your face this shouldn't be a problem.

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 (instore or online) or online at https://www.revolutionbeauty.com/en/gb/Home.aspx

They come in 18 different shades with a variety of undertones, so hopefully most people would be able to find their perfect match. This is great for a low price drugstore product because as you may have already noticed, cheaper brands unfortunately don't tend to stock many shades, especially darker colours. So Revolution is really nailing it on the diversity and the inclusion aspect of their products.

I bought 3 shades; F2 which is light with yellow undertones, F6 is light (but a few shades darker) with yellow undertones, and F13 which is a for darker skin tones with warm undertones. I tend to need different shades depending on the time of year and how tan I am. F2 matches my skin perfectly when it is at it's palest, but it feels a little too light for me at the moment, so I warm my face up with the F13 shade which I use as a bronzer/ contour on my cheeks and around the perimeter of my face. F6 also matches me perfectly when I'm slightly less pale, and I have also tried the 2 & 6 mixed together which is also lovely on me.

The foundation applies lovely. It is so quick and easy to use- blends out beautifully and fast, and looks great on my skin! The formula is very creamy which makes it glide onto the skin, blends easily and the coverage is medium- but buildable to full.

Unfortunately, my skin gets quite oily in the T-zone with some foundations, and it does with this one. But I find that it is fine for everyday use and I can control with oil with blotting sheets and a little bit of powder. However for this reason I wouldn't choose to wear this if I wanted my makeup to look flawless for a long time and didn't want to keep checking my make up in the mirror.

Overall, I do really like this foundation and it has recently become a staple in my makeup bag. I would recommend trying it, especially as it is only £5!

I hope this has been helpful for you. If you would like to purchase online you can buy them here: Fast Base - available in 18 shades

Retail therapy

So today I was feeling a little down and disappointed in myself after failing a test that I had to do (which I can resit- so it's not the end of the world, just annoying and upsetting to me). After I got my results, I sat in the toilet and cried. However I text my girlfriends for a rant, then I pulled myself together and left. As I walked out there was Debenhams staring at me... and I thought well why not cheer myself up?! So I went in and purchased Benefit Hoola, as mine is running really low. (Great bronzer by the way!) 

I still wasn't satisfied however, so I went into Superdrug to get a few more bits. Bourjois healthy mix is one of my go to foundations for everyday. It has good coverage and the colours sit really well with my skin tone. This was also a repurchase as I ran out of mine. 

The other items are all new purchases to me so I can't comment on how good they are as of yet- but the lip colours are to die for- my perfect shades! 

It's safe to say that retail therapy helped me cheer up! Lol! 

Does anyone else do this? 

For me it's always makeup. I have far too much, but it makes me happy!
