January favourites 2015

January favourites, the first favourites of the year and for the first time on my blog.
I wanted to do a 2014 roundup favourites but was a little late so I figured I'd do my January favourites which could also combine into what I got for Christmas I suppose ;)
I have filmed my January favourites on my YouTube channel it was a colab with Sarah V. All links below :)

It's been absolutely freezing during January and my skin has suffered for it thank goodness for the Clinique moisture surge moisturiser. I've been using this for a few months now but have definitely been reaching for it more this month as my skin is really dry. I love that this is very light on the skin and feels more like gel texture than creamy like most moisturisers. I like to put a thick coat/layer on at night so that it sinks in throughout the night and just a small amount in the morning after cleansing - perfect! 

To go with my Clinique moisture surge moisturiser I have been using my
Laura Mercier primer (thanks Santa). 
This primer is also gel like it feels like
Moisturiser before applying my foundation. We all hate it when your foundation clings to dry patches and makes you look like flake face! This primer seems to smooth over your face making it a great base for your foundation. It's quite pricey but definitely worth it. 

I suppose I should tell you what foundation I have been using after applying all these moisturisers and primers ;)
Dior skin star foundation - it's marvellous! 
they say that it's used in studios, so perfect for picture taking. 
I'd say it's medium coverage and definitely buildable it just looks like perfect skin. I'm in love with this foundation, it blends easily I use the real techniques buffing brush as to most people by the looks of it - haha. 

I have been reaching for my YSL 
Rouge Volupte lipstick in nude beige (01) 
It's a nude pink.  I would say it's one of those your lips but better colours but I think it's a bit lighter than  my natural lip shade. It's the perfect every day throw on lipstick - ready to go! 

I have been loving my Marks & Spencer's cape. It's a black fleece material with a leopardprint fur trim around the neck and sleeves. It's been perfect for this cold snowy weather we've been having in England recently. I am channeling my inner Cruella De Ville ;). 

I have been obsessed with the TV program 'Stella' (Sky 1 -uk) it is set in Wales written and starring Ruth Jones (Ness - Gavin & Stacey). This month I have watched series 1, 2 and 3 and am waiting for series 4 to be released next month. It's about a woman who has three children and has pretty much brought them up single-handedly. We follow her hardships of money and love life - however it is a comedy drama so like most would laugh and cry and then laugh again. Give it a watch because it's took me so long to get round to watching it and it's brilliant!

I also met GRACE HELBIG this month!!! WHAT? Yes it's true i met the brilliant, beautiful and funny Grace Helbig. Don't believe me? WELL we vlogged it!!(on Sarah V's channel links below) So you can see the moment - oh what a beautiful moment it was.
She did a UK book tour of her book Grace's Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-Up. Me and my best friend Sarah went along to Birmingham signing - it was amazing :D
I also had a naughty splurge in Selfridges whilst there….blame Charlotte Tilbury! Look out for a haul on my channel.

July Favourites 2015

Not many make up favourites this month because I haven't been wearing much make up recently.  New to me this month the Bourjois colour boost lip crayon in peach on the beach. A Tescos bargain find at £2!! It's a glossy finish which needs reapplying a few times. It feels like to lip balm but with a decent colour payoff.  My Nars radiant creamy concealer has been my best friend this month! (Running out - cry!). I have been on antibiotics this month which have caused me to break out... Good old concealer! It's an oldie but a goodie. If you haven't heard of this product then it's really worth the money because it covers well, lasts all day and doesn't crease.  Paired with concealer I have been wearing my Mac mineralise skin finish powder in medium plus. Which is also running out! Brilliant for a "no makeup makeup", great coverage without looking "powdery".  The Maxfactor 2000 calorie mascara is...

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

   I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel...

The battle of the Lip Liners

So who isn't obsessed with the nude liner these days? (top to bottom swatches - Charlotte Tilbury, Primark, Essence, Rimmel) I am in love with my Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat in pillow talk and have been searching for an alternative or dupe.  First up Primark! Gotta love Primark. This liner is a close match on colour, especially once applied to lips. And for £1 is decent! It's a good liner and I'm happy with it but it's not quite Charlotte Tilbury. The lasting power isn't the same as pillow talk.  Next Essence. I have already reviewed products from Essence which included this liner. The shade is slightly darker than the Charlotte Tilbury lipliner but the consistency is very similar it has a matte but creamy texture. The most annoying thing about this liner is it doesn't last long at all, maybe a few hours. But yet again it's only £1! Finally Rimmel. I think the whole world and his wife knows about this dupe. Yes the colo...
