My Favourite Beauty Products of 2020

February 17, 2021      12 Comments

Following on from My Favoruite Skincare products of 2020 post, I thought it would be the right time to share my favourite beauty products.

I’ll have to be 100% honest with you all here… I didn’t wear makeup a lot during 2020. Most days were joggers, a little bit of skincare and more trips to the fridge than usual. On the days I did wear makeup it was vibrant as I wanted to dress up, even if it was just going to Tesco.

Anyways onto the post, lets see my 2020 beauty favourites…

My Favourite Beauty Products of 2020

Urban Decay Wired Pressed Pigment Palette

I bought this Urban Decay Wired at the start of lockdown as I wanted to add some bright eyeshadows to my eyeshadow collection. When I first bought it I wasn’t completely sure I liked it but the more I used it the more I started enjoying using it. I like using these solo.

Wet N Wild Colour Icon Bronzer SPF 15 ‘Ticket to Brazil’

Home Bargains have been one of my favourite shops during lockdown because you never know what you will find. I have never tried Wet N Wild before so I was excited to try this bronzer. I have seen mixed review online but I find it works well giving me a soft-sculpted cheek without looking too harsh.

Makeup Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Concealer

I have trusted Makeup Revolution products for a few years now. Most of their products are wonderful and this concealer is one of them. This concealer is perfect for concealer dark circles, created a base for eyeshadows or even defining the brows. With more than 25 shades to choose from its easy to find which works for you.

XX Revolution FleeXX Brow Pomade ‘Black’

Eyebrow pomades are my favourite way of styling my eyebrows. It’s so much easier defining brows with pomade and a brush. I love this XX Revolution pomade as it’s easy to use and lasts all day without budging.

Makeup Revolution Renaissance Flick Eyeliner

I have tried many eyeliners over the years but this one is one I come back too because it works perfectly for me. I love cat eyeliner and this works well every time. It doesn’t smudge over the day which is a plus.

Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation

Another product which I didn’t like to start with but grew on me. The finish is matte and you can customise it by applying less or more. I love wearing this on days when I don’t want full coverage.

Fenty Beauty- Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter / Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fu$$y and Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Liquid Colour in Uncensored

I just LOVE Fenty Beauty products, everything I have tried so far has been fabulous. I defiantly think it’s worth the higher-end price tag.

The highlighter is a lovely silverly sparkly shimmer that adds glow to any makeup look I create. Now the lipgloss is just divine, I never used lipgloss since I was a teen but I have fallen in love with it again because this one is nonsticky and adds gorgeous gloss to the lips. Lasty I love their longwear liquid lipsticks, they apply effortlesy, have a lovely selection of photos and last all day.

Pixi Lash Booster Mascara

I really love this mascara as it adds so much curl and definition to my lashes. It has a huge wand brush which applies the perfect amount of product.

What are your thoughts on my beauty favourites; Which Beauty Products did you love in 2020?

Until next time

October 5, 2020      9 Comments

Trying the New Pixi 'Eye Effects' and 'Nuance Quartettes' CompactsHello everyone!

Pixi has done it again and brought out four new gorgeous looking products. Firstly they have two new ‘Eye Effects palettes which are called ‘Hazlenut Haze’ and ‘Rosette Ray’. The other palettes are ‘Nuance Quartettes’ which are in two shades called ‘Sugar Blossom’ and ‘Honey Nectar. Prices start at £16.
Both palettes have the same design and are a handy size so they are quite easy to store or take with you while on a night out or travelling. One of the types palettes is eyeshadow palettes and the others are like blushers with some highlighters.
Pixi Beauty sells a variety of skincare and makeup. All their products are cruelty-free.

Revolution Forever Flawless Chilled with Cannabis Sativa Palette | Review

Revolution Forever Flawless Chilled with Cannabis Sativa Palette | Review
My blooming goodness the name of this palette is a mouth full isn’t it? LOL
Anyways back to the post, Revolution has grown so much since it came out a few years ago. I have lost track of all their new releases, they seem to be something new every week aha! I have a few of their eyeshadow palettes the last one I purchased is the Revolution Creative Vol 1 palette just before the summer holidays. I didn’t check out many of their releases for a few months after that until I saw the  Revolution cannabis Sativa products including this Revolution Forever Flawless Chilled with Sativa palette and I kinda thought to myself … in makeup now like? but hey I wanted to try them to see if they are worth the hype.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Mini Jawbreaker | Review
I have been so excited to try the new Jeffree Star Jawbreaker Collection! I managed to get myself the Mini Breaker palette and also liquid lipstick in the shade Yes Ma’am! I will probably get the larger palette eventually but today I will be reviewing and telling you all my thoughts on this mini Breaker Eyeshadow Palette.
The Jeffree Star Mini Jawbreaker palette cost me £25 from Beauty Bay. It contains 9 shades; 2 being from the main Jawbreaker palette and 7 brand new hues. The eyeshadows are a mix of metallic and matte pigments.

Makeup Revolution Creative Vol 1 Palette | Review

Makeup Revolution Creative Vol 1 Palette | Review
Hi everyone! 
If you have read my blog before you will know I am a huge fan of bold and bright lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes. I knew I had to have this palette when I spotted it in Superdrug when I was looking for a palette I wanted but was sold out, this one stood out. One thing that made me want to buy it was the outer packaging, it stood out as usually makeup revolution palettes are simply designed but this, on the other hand, has a lovely peacock design on it.
Makeup Revolution is an amazing cruelty-free and super budget-friendly brand. They have so much makeup and skincare products it’s actually mind-blowing.  I have lost track of how many eyeshadow palettes they actually have now. The creative Vol 1 palette has 24 colours in the palette and it cost me a cool £10 Superdrug.

Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Iconic Division | Review

May 4, 2019      8 Comments

Hello, Lovelies! 
I have to admit I am a huge fan of eyeshadow palettes and I definitely have my fair share of eyeshadow palettes. I saw this Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Iconic Division palette last month in Superdrug and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to buy it and it went right in my basket. I have a good selection of makeup revolution products so I had high expectations of this palette because at the moment they are just out of this world with the makeup they are bringing out. I have a few of their eyeshadow palettes in my collection but they are more vibrant than this palette so this is a complete change for me.

Ad/gifted 💗 When it comes to skincare I usually Ad/gifted 💗 When it comes to skincare I usually go all out for my face but only use a moisturiser for body skincare, until now! 

I was happy to be able to try these @pixibeauty Rose Body Treats out. Including is a ‘Rose Body Cleanser’ a ‘Rose Body Polish’ and a ‘Rose Body Balm’ 

I have used them a couple of weeks now and so far so good! 

What are your thoughts on the collection? 🌙
