Products of the month and new products I love!!

My new goodies ;-)

My all time favourite body butter , I get very dry skin in winter and this solves that problem will making me smell likes coconuts. I love to wear this in summer to its such a summery tropical smell. I always get compliments on how good it smells. Its rich and creamy, its perfect :-)

Rimmel stay matte pressed powder. This is a shine control powder with natural mineral,and helps to minimise the appearance pores.I used to always use MAC's blot powder for oily skin but this is just as good and is a new favourite.

No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick 'love red' I recently purchased this lipstick after seeing it on my favourite So Sue Me Blog, its her favourite red lipsticks and always looks gorgeous on her so I'd thought I'd try it out as I love my statement lips. Red lips add instant glamour to any makeup look. No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick's are long' lasting and hypo -allergenic  provides gorgeous colour that last up to 8 hours and keep your lips comfortable and  hydrated. These lipsticks have a matte/satin finish which I love! I will definitely be trying out alot more of these lipsticks.

My two favourite mascara's at the moment NYC big bold curl 'black' mascara and Maybelline collasal volum' express waterproof 'black' mascara. The NYC mascara makes my lashes super long, really black and thick while the Maybelline one is more natural looking while giving great length to my lashes. These mascara never go clumpy or flake so these are a winner for me.

LUSH 'Bubblegum' lip scrub

After hearing great reviews about this lip scrub I  had to try it, I suffer quiet a bit from dry lips from travelling to and from hot and cold countries. This lip scrub is amazing it gets rid of any dry skin from your lips. All you have to do is add a tiny amount of the products onto your dry lips, massage gently all around then remove the excess with a damp cloth its also safe it lick it off its totally edible and tastes like candy :-)

This LUSH face and body scrub is my all time favourite face scrub I have been using it for years. I always get a tub of it when I'm in the UK or Ireland. All LUSH products smell amazing!  Most of LUSH's  products are organic, vegan, vegetarian and cruelty free. The Ocean salt face and body scrub is ideal suitable for all skin types its good for brightening the skin, clearing blackheads,blocked pores and blemishes. 

New face products I'm trying out

Maybelline baby lips 'pink punch' lip balm

I recently purchased this lip balm and I have to say I absolutely love it! It protects and moisturizes lips for up to 8 hours. It gives a lovely pink tint to your lips and looks very pretty. It comes in 6 shades.

My new Real techniques brushes. I have been using Real technique brushes for quiet a while now and all the brushes I own are still in perfect condition so I wanted to add a few more to my make up brush collection. I purchased the real techniques blush brush, stippling brush and miracle complexion sponge. I really loved the blush brush, the stippling brush was good and I didn't particularly like the miracle complexion sponge as it seemed to soak up most of my foundation and not go on my skin well so it was kind of wasting my make up. 

My favourite brush out of the three I purchased. This Real Techniques blush brush was so soft, applied my blusher beautifully. Also, I love that their brushes are self standing 

I have finally got my hands on this gorgeous contouring kit. I purchased the 'light' shade. It comes in four shades fair,light,medium and dark. All the colours blended beautifully and had great colour pay off. The light contouring kit has a lovely bronze shade to contour, a stunning highlight colour with gold specks and a rose gold blusher which is very flattering, I would recommend a contouring kit to everyone. Contouring and highlighting gives great definition to your face. This palette is great for achieving that Victoria secret glow ;-)

Swatches of the colours

W7 'loads of lashes' fiber lash mascara

W7 'loads of lashes' fiber lash mascara and w7 'just brows brown pen. I purchased both these products before Christmas and I've been using them all the time. I have never heard of W7 brand before until I went into Cara pharmacy in Galway. My sister first posted over the brow pen for me to try out, I live in Marbella so some make up brands aren't available here. I really loved the brown pen as its water-resistant and last long and gives lovely precise definition to my brows. The fiber lash mascara was also recommended to me by my sister, It was my first time trying out a fiber lash mascara and it really lenghtened my lashes like I never knew was possible. I used it with my favourite NYC  big bold curl mascara and my lashes looked like falsies even my fiance said so :-)

I have been using the Maybelline fit me foundation for a few months now, I usually go for full coverage foundations but I thought I'd try something different! The Maybelline fit me foundation is a medium coverage foundation with build-able coverage, it gave my skin a lovely healthy sheen, it covered my blemishes and redness and lasted long too. I got the shade '210' its almost an identical match to my MAC studio fix fluid foundation. Overall, this is a great foundation.

I recently purchased the Maybelline fit me concealer as I was so happy with their foundation I thought I'd give the concealer a go.I got it in shade '10' Its the lightest colour from their collection. It covered my dark circles, blemishes and any discolouration I had. I would definitely purchase this again. 

MAC prep and primer highlighting pen 'bright forecast'. It's perfectly natural looking and also add a gorgeous and subtle sheen. I use this pen when I'm highlighting and contouring my face, it is peachy toned so its great to counteract dark circles and discolouration. It does a great job at covering dark circles and it barely noticeable on the skin even when looking really close. Its available in four shades.

MAC 'blacktrack' fluidline gel liner
I usually use liquid eyeliner and have recently been using my gel liner's again. I really like this MAC gel liner its easy to apply with a angled or pointed liner brush, I just wish it was more black. I always end it applying liquid liner over it to make it look as black as possible

Urban Decay 'SMOKED' palette

I got this eyeshadow palette last year for my 24th birthday off my friend, I was so excited when I seen it I couldn't wait to use it!! I use this palette for daytime or night-time looks. It includes ten shades,it has a selection of matte and shimmery colours. I love every colour in the palette their very wearable. It also comes with a full size 24/7 glide on 'perversion'  blackest black eye pencil and a mini primer potion in original.  I'm thinking of doing a full in depth review and swatches of this palette, Love it :-)
