Empties #34 - Makeup Lipstick

Now I'll be honest, you are about to be hit with empties post after empties post after empties post. I have had so many because I thought it would be easier to keep them all and do a big post (WRONG) but here we are and this is the first one of .... well, let's keep it a surprise!

All About Lips #129

Today's lip post is a little different... Basically it's the lip products that have not made the cut to stay on!

Empties #24

It's almost rare that I have so many make up items which are featured in empties, but hear me out, I have a reason for each!

All About Lips #81

Just because we are near Christmas... does not mean we all want to wear red, or dark lips. Who know, you may want to just break all rules and rock a bright pink lip!

If so, crack on with this post!

November Favourites

 This month's favourites feature mostly new products, with the exception of the Stella Eau De Toilette and the Ole Henriksen cleansing gelee. I do still love the Caudalie Organic Grape Water and Hylamide Advanced Anti-Age Serum, but thought I would talk about something else for a change.

What is it about Retail Therapy?

Just before I flew off from England, I had a bit of a shopping splurge. I picked up bits from Debenhams as well as getting an ASOS delivery

Latest In Beauty : The Glamour Summer Edit

As far as beauty boxes come, Latest in Beauty are the people to look towards!

This is really one of the most exciting boxes, with at least 1 item being a HG item and a few that I know I would love and some that I think are handy for travelling and trying, this was already a winner in my eyes!

Holiday Bag

Now you know how if you only have a carry-on bag, you are only allowed a little bag of toiletries that are not more than 100ml?

Welcome to travel mayhem!

Now here, you can see 3 bags. Let me clarify. The pink bag houses all things that are not creams/liquids and the top clear bag, is my boyfriend's toiletries. That essentially meant I packed it with gender neutral items we could both use on the holiday (I forgot the toothpaste) and then I packed my little bag of toiletries. EXPLOSION.

Face of the Day

I was not really sure what to post about and thought I would do a face of the day post, just so you can see what I am wearing (make up wise) today!

Superdrug Haul

So I did my first haul of 2015 and it was not too terrible, I think

I picked up 3 lip products despite not needing any but I have been eyeing these for a while now.... So that justifies it slightly, yes?

My make up of choice

So I packed my favourite make up when I was coming to Lucerne, knowing full well that my Christmas face, as well as my daily face, will be created from this stash of make up.

I tried to split it up into face, cheek, eyebrows, eyes, lips.

Let's go through what I actually brought.

I like to use an assortment of different items for different days to create different looks =)
The Bourjois foundation is a new one for me to try as I was a little tanned for it but now I am a good colour for it so I have been using it.
For a drugstore foundation, I really like it and it serves me well.

Fav Five - Foundations!

I think I may start another thread for myself.. which is a Fav Five Friday!
Basically, this would like a Top Five items, which I find easier than having to do only three, and thus having a "Top Three Thursday" or something...

Anyway, I digress, but perhaps I will start with only 1 post a month, and then work my way up with it.

Today's post is inspired by Anna from Viviana Loves Make Up and her Top 5 Foundations.

Empties #8

It sometimes is a little odd how quickly time passes.
This month, I have quite a few make up items, which is rather odd for me.

 MAKE UP

Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder - 55

 I picked this up to use as a bronzer and I actually really like using it as such.
It does not swatch dark, but as I am about a 51-52, this is a good shade as a bronze and I do use it to contour as well.
I have decided to part ways with it because it was getting really difficult to use with my Bobbi Brown Bronzer Brush.

Empties #4

Another empties post!!


This month's empties include



HAIRCARE


Silk Honey Shea Butter Hair Mask

I received this in my June Birchbox, which I was a little disappointed with because I wanted the beauty blender but received Benefit They're Real Mascara, which I hate unfortunately... but that is a story for another day.

This felt like a really nice daily conditioner, I find it hardly nourishing enough as a hair mask!
