Maybe it's more than it cracked up to be.

Hey!

Maybelline is one of my favourite drugstore beauty brands simply because of how good the products are, plain and simple! I find it affordable and the majority of my everyday makeup routine is Maybelline so there's that and the Falsies can do no wrong in my books! 

Anyhow, back to the point! If any of you beauty lovers out there follow maybelline on Instagram @maybelline or their blog +Maybelline NY Mx you may have seen a product that they call the "Face Studio Hi-Lighting Blushes and Bronzers". It isn't on shelves yet and is set to be released in January, i'm not sure if that it's in the UK or not yet but either way this product looks so appealing to me! As a fan of highlighted blushers, not so much bronzers, this product just seems like it would be a wonder to add into my make-up collection! I will be purchasing this on the website come January, could i get away with calling it a late christmas present ? 

Just look how pretty they are !

Girl Meets Pearl

Hello world.

Benefit makeup is my all time favourite brand (or at least one of) I love the quality of their products and as i live in a city which contains no MAC or NARS counters, this is the make-up brand i browse almost daily in my local Boots store. One of my all time favourite products by Benefit is the "High Beam" and it's essentially a liquid highlighter. All i do is pop it the top of my cheekbones to enhance them and down the middle of my nose and it makes my skin look so luminous and as close to perfect as it'll be!

To my dismay i ran out mid-week last week so i nipped to the counter and the lady recommended i try "Girl meets Pearl" so i took her advice and gave it a shot! I'm not going to lie and say this product is a world away from the High Beam, in fact, it so similar that someone who didn't know make-up could just mistake it for the exact same thing. However in my opinion is just slightly tips the High Beam and the packaging is simply out of the world...not only beautiful but pretty user friendly too! I would say the main difference between the two products is the shimmer in the "girl meets pearl" is slightly less obvious which i do prefer myself! Would i buy this product again? 100%

Girl Meets Pearl £24.50

High Beam (sorry about the teeny bottle, this one is from a set) 

For a full size bottle £19.50 

Which Benefit products are your favourite?

OOPS.

HOLA!

I went shopping today, 3 days before payday so you can imagine what my bank balance/ overdraft is currently looking like! I went to pick up some eyelashes cause i'm going out tonight and ironically i picked up a lot of stuff none of which were eyelashes! I went to superdrug, tactically avoided boots, then onto topshop, primark, and H&M.

Superdrug 

Maybelline Falsies Mascara £7.99

this is a re-re-purchase and my favourite mascara 

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm in 700, not an illusion and 220, Rumour has it £5.99 each

I'm a sucker for a lip crayon in the day and i've heard good things about this one so i thought i would invest and these 2 colours just stood out for me. 

Large Cotton Wool Pads £1.69

Perfect for removing make-up/cleansing etc. 

Blow Pro Conditioner £4.90

Never tried, let alone heard of this brand so i thought i'd give it a try and see what i made of it as they didn't have my usual favourites in store. 

Topshop

Jeans £38.

Topshop jeans are my all time favourite jeans, they never sag at the knees which i love and although you can't really tell on this picture the colour of these are such a nice shade of blue. 

H&M

Grey Jersey £7.99

I love these tops for just lounging around the house and the long sleeves make it ideal for winter 

Tshirt £9.99 

Again, i think this is really cute for lounging around and just slobbing out 

Woven Dress £14.99 

This is a very nice fitting dress for an hourglass figure and it could be worn casually with tights and boots or on a night out with a pair of heels 

Finally...Primark 

3 sets of knickers, polka dot, blue and red all with lace £2.00 each 

2 Bra sets one blue with pink ribbon and one with comic strip on them both £5 

Spongebob socks £1 

Red Candle £2.50 

and that's everything from my 2 hour spree today
