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

The Best Classic Red Lipsticks

January 29, 2021      19 Comments

For me, red lipstick is such a classic and ‘go well’ with any style accessory. Whether its matte, satin or gloss, red works wonderfully with any of these products.

I only started wearing classic red lipsticks in my mid-twenties as I never found one that suited me. Now I have reached thirty, I know which retro lipsticks I love after a lot of searching. I like to switch them up whenever I feel like I want a change.

Whenever I think of classic red lipsticks, people who come to mind for me has to be Marilyn Monroe, Rhianna, Gwen Stefani and Tim Curry.

Check out the post to see which classic reds made it on my list..

My Favourite Lip Glosses | 2020

November 11, 2020      2 Comments

β„Œπ”’π”©π”©π”¬ 𝔒𝔳𝔒𝔯𝔢𝔬𝔫𝔒
2020 has been one heck of a rollercoaster, hasn’t it? I would say this is the year where I have barely worn any lip products never mind makeup. I would say the reasons for that is because of being a mix of not being bothered or no place to go because of lockdown and many restrictions and the stress of it all. Anyways onto the topic of this post, Lipglosses! I never used to like wearing them because they either were too sticky or come off after 5 minutes but now I wear them more than lipsticks.
As you can see by my selection they are mostly rose-tinted with a hint of sparkle and the reason for that is that I think they suit me so well. They are versatile for the makeup I like to wear
Carry on reading to find out more on my favourite lip glosses…

My most used Lipsticks so far this year | 2020

My most used Lipsticks so far this year | 2020
Hello everyone!
2020 has definitely been one of those years I am sure many of us will remember for a long time! It’s not been anything like we are used to and getting used to new norms is defiantly not easy and takes so time to get adjusted too as well.
One thing for sure is that i don’t wear lip products as much as I used to because of daily wearing face masks leaves the inside of my masks looking like a makeup removing wipe leaving my lipstick all over my mouth area which can be a right laugh if you’re going to a restaurant for example LOL.
Anyways here are the lipsticks I used so much they ended up being in my handbag!

Pop Beauty Permanent Pout Liquid Lipsticks Review

February 15, 2020      4 Comments

Pop Beauty Permanent Pout Liquid Lipsticks Review
This post contains PR/gifted items, no paid content. All opinions are my own
I was pleasantly surprised when I got this PR package a couple of months back. I have never tried or even heard of Pop Beauty before so I was very excited to give these Pop Beauty Permanent Pout Liquid Lipsticks a try!Β 
Β 
Even though this brand is very new to me, it looks like the brand has been around for quite a while now. They have a big selection of makeup to choose from on their website including; foundation, eyeshadow and much more.
Pop Beauty permanent pot liquid lipsticks have 15 velvety matte shades in their collection, each costing Β£8 each. I was sent 9 of them which is very generous and also good so I can try a variety of them for a more in-depth review. They are long-wearing and kiss-proof with a paraben-free formula which isn’t tested on animals. Not only were they 9 liquid lipsticks in the PR package but there were 2 cups which you can test the lipsticks don’t smudge when you have a drink.

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in Venus | Review

December 1, 2018      1 Comment

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick


Huda Beauty is a huge brand that is very popular with influencers and beauty fans alike. I have heardΒ about them as a brand for a while now but didn’tΒ get round to trying anything.. until now that is. I was totally unsure where to buy theirΒ productsΒ because theyΒ aren’tΒ availableΒ in any shops near me and I think the nearest place I can think of is Selfridges stores which aren’t in Scotland… yet ( please make one here LOL) Oh well I can’t complain at least they have the products available online on the Cult Beauty website and also Selfridges.

Liquid lipsticks are all the rage at the moment and many brands have versions of them. Huda Beauty has an impressive selection of liquid lipsticks and I am so glad to have finally got myΒ first product from the brand from Novembers Glossybox.
