Beauty Blogmas #20 || Currently Loving




Hello Everyone, 

So as you will have noticed many days have been skipped & there are many reasons for this. I will not bore you with this now. Instead I will create  a proper post where I will be telling you about it. Anyway Its 5 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS! WTF?? 

Lets get back to Blogmas!! Here is day 20!! Enjoy!!


Skincare


Pennys Lip Scrub

I mentioned this lip scrub in Blogmas #2 || Holiday Skin Saviours which you can check out by clicking here -> Full Post. I told you it was a recent purchase & I was enjoying it but I didn't like the thought of it having dead skin on it so I had to make sure it was clean everytime I finished using it. Although that fact still remains I really love this little product. It really does work and I love the way my lips feel after using it & applying a lip balm. I definitely recommend you give this little product a go if you are looking for a new lip scrub to try out!









W7 Lip Bomb


I got this Lip balm in a set of three which I have broken up so I have kept one & I will be adding the other two to the gifts of two of my friends. I love to do this with gifts as I think sometimes its nice to let everyone try the brand. Especially when a set consists of things like 3 lip balms. It takes a while to get through even one lip balm! I am very impressed with this one! I chose to keep the Raspberry flavour for myself & I am glad I picked them up. I am also now confident that they are a good addition to my friends gifts.






Garnier SkinActive Moisturise Bomb


This was a product that I had heard a lot about so when I was in need of a new moisturiser I decided to give it a whirl! This product was also mentioned in my post Blogmas #2 Holiday Skincare Saviours. Again that was a new enough product to me when I was writing the post. I have to say though from day one this product has impressed me! I love the consistency of it! Its like a thin gel formula that melts and feels like water when you apply it to the skin. My skin just loves this stuff especially now that the winter weather is upon us and has caused my skin to completely dry up!! I definitley recommend this!









Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Tissue Masks 

These are another genius little product from the same range from Garnier! Garnier are showing they got game at the moment. Throwing out little wonder products left, right and center! When your skin feels dried up from the weather this is the perfect product to give it the boost it needs to spring back to life!! I think everyone can agree that I look extremely attractive in this picture & that my boyfriend is a very lucky guy!! haha









Pennys / Primark, PS... PRO Miracle Primer - Prep & Perfect


Pennys / Primark have brought their range of PRO Makeup this year including two new primers (I have only seen two anyway) I included both of them in my Beauty Blogmas #1 || Festive / Winter Makeup Essentials -> Full Post. This one is the PS... PRO Miracle Primer. When I first picked this up & tried it, the first thing it reminded me of was the Benefit Porefessional Primer! I was so excited to see how it compares & The result? In my eyes its a dupe, from the texture of it applying it, to the colour, to the way it applies & the way my skin feels after! I also think the staying power & performance is just as good. To be honest I think I will be purchasing this rather than the porefessional as it is a fraction of the price. 






  

Collection Precision Contouring Stick - Light 1


I've only had this product for about 3 maybe 4 months now and I love it. Its the perfect consistency, blendable without being too creamy or cakey. I feel like it gives me the perfect shadow under my cheek bones with minimal effort. I'm not sure if this shade would work for you if you were much darker than me (MAC NW 20) but I have seen that they have darker shades in the range so hopefully there will be one to suit you should you decide to try it out!







Essence Extreme Lasting Eye Pencil - Easy Glide & Waterproof


This is also a newer purchase. I used to use the regular Essence Kohl pencil but when I needed a new one I decided to pick up this one. It looks new but it might not be. Over the years I have tried out many a kohl liner believe me! It was one of the first makeup items I started using back in the day. I have quite watery eyes, nothing super crazy but generally eyeliners will bleed on me and it is something that I have noticed, been conscious of & just generally accepted was always going to be the case but with this one I have noticed that it doesn't bleed. I have been so impressed with this liner! I highly recommend it!!





Essence Velvet Stick - Matt Lip Colour - 02 Peony Star 


I hauled this a few months & I have included it in Blogmas # Festive / Winter Beauty Essentials. This month I have really been loving this product all over again! In Fact I'm going to have to pick another one as I am nearly out!! That's a positive review for the product in itself! 








These are the products I have been loving this month! I may have another currently loving next month as it is the season for beauty after all!! Let me know in the comments below what have been your beauty picks of the month or you can leave me links to your post if you have done it in blog post form. I'd love to know & I am always on the look out for new products to try out!! #beautyaddict

Essence Lipsticks

I have spent a long time raving about the the Essence Lipstick Range Here are a few of my favourites from the Long Lasting for the season - 





Here are my two picks from the Matts Range






Maybelline

Maybelline is another brand I trust when I am in need of a good lippie!! Here are the two I will be wearing this season - 







Wet & Wild

I love the Wet & Wild Lipsticks. They are so affordable too & have a wide range of colours and finishes too!! These are my picks!






Sleek Cosmetics

Sleek produce some of my favourite bold lippies. They don't have a massive range of colours but they perform excellently on the lips. I love this shade of red for Christmas time! 






Essence Velvet Sticks

I hauled these a while back. They are the Matt Version Velvet Sticks. I have the glossy version too which I accidentally picked up but I much prefer the matt versions. I have been wearing them alot. Can you tell which one is my favourite of the two? 







Lip Liners

Lip liners are a newer addition to my routine in the last year. My drugstore favourites are the P.S range at Pennys/Primark & the Essence Lip Liner Range.

Beauty Blogmas #6 || Festive Polish









Hello Hello,



Today I thought we would talk all about festive polish!! These are my top picks this year!!




Maybelline Super Stay 7 Days Gel Nail Colour

One of the things Maybelline do well is nail polish. My favourite December picks are Rose Veil (from the Metallic Silks range) & Extreme Blackcurrant and Devine Wine (From the Forever Strong Range) I love the formula of these!! 





Essence Cosmetics 

I have always been a huge fan of the nail polish lines produced by Essence. These are my picks for this time of year!!

 


In the photos they all look fairly similar but I promise you they are not (spoken like a true beauty addict!! haha). From left - right in the top photo - 114 Fame Fatal, 113 Do you speak love?, 10 True Love, 169 A Hint of Love. They the perfect shades for any red nail occasion!! 



They also have a range of other winter shades if red is not your thing! Again from left - right -102, Sparkling Water Lily, 53 Rock my World, 80 Jeans On!

Catrice Cosmetics 

We all need a bit of sparkle and metalic in our lives, Catrice does this well! Here are my two faves from my collection!




Here we have 62 Must Have STEELetto & C03 Metalight

Barry M

I love Barry M nail polishes!! I them all year round but I have picked two that I think will be nice this time of year if your are not feeling the bold, dark or glittery



From left - right -Rose Hip, Cardamom. (full review on Rose hip - Full Review Post)

P.S... Nail Polish Range

Pennys / Primark have really upped there game in the past year these are my picks for this season! And at E2 a pop not much room to complain! They now have shine finishes, metallics, mattes. The pink/nude shade is also a matte finish which I enjoy! The only thing I don't like is that there are not names so it's hard to identify them!



Wet & Wild Megalast Nail Polish

This is another formula that I recommend from the highstreet/drugstore. I love these polishes. These two are shades that I believe can carry you throughout the Autumn/Winter season. They are muted but dark at the same, perfect for if you want something a bit bolder but not too loud and in your face!




These are my recommendations! I love a good polish and I think they can tie your whole look together!! Leave me know in the comments what your favourite festive nail polishes are and any recommendations for me?

Beauty Blogmas #5 || Empties!!



Hello Hello,

Today I have another empties. I had to look back over my blog to find out that the last time I did one of these posts it was MARCH!! Crazy! Anyway I have quite alot to get through so I will split it up into different posts so you might see another one of these types of posts again in January! So here's what I gots for you today my loves!

If you would like to check out my other empties I will link them below! 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I think the picture says it all! 6 Full size bottles and one travel. I'm currently making my way through another one!! I have a full review here - Garnier Micellar Water - Full Review but I think you can already guess my thoughts on this product!




Batiste Dry Shampooo

Again you can see this is a much loved product. 5 empty cans! I love the brunette version as there is no white casting from it! Another highly recommended product!! 




P.S... Love This Make-up Brush Cleaner

Again I have been using this for over a year now and I couldn't recommend it enough for spot cleaning brushes. At E2.50 a pop you can't go wrong #winning




Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - Medium

Yesterday we talked all about self tanning and I mention that I have been using this product for about 8 years now. It honestly is a #holygrail product and I don't take that term lightly! I have a full review on the range here - Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - Full Review and you can also check out yesterdays post to find out more about how I use this & other tanning products! 




Soap & Glory Mist You Madly

I really liked the scent of this. I don't usually use body sprays, I much prefer Perfumes, but I love to spray this after getting out a shower. It has the lovely Soap & Glory clean smell. 




Loreal Paris Infallible Mattifying Base 

I really like this primer. I have a full review here if you would like to find out more - Loreal Infallible Mattifying Base - Full Review



This is my little empties I will have more on the way with more make-up bits. This has made my empties bin a little more spacious!!

Beauty Blogmas #3 || Pennys Winter Goodies Beauty Haul!!




Hello, Hello,

I have done a little retail therapy!! Of the Pennys / Primark variety of course!! Nothing better in my eyes! & I thought what better way to spend a Satuarday in December then to share it all with my friends here on #BeautyBlogmas on my little blog!!

Makeup Bag - E5.00

Ok so I have many makeup bags but there all a bit dirty now (I know I can throw them in the washing machine... well some of them.. But who has the time haha) I have been looking for the right one for a couple of weeks now but couldn't find it. I didn't want a normal one that was just a open bag as it drives me mad when everything gets dirty from brushes and things. Then I spotted this beauty! Exactly what I was looking for! One side for brushes & one side for anything else I want to take with me!! #Loveit








P.S Pro - Mattifying Primer - E5.00

Ok so originally I was planning on picking up the maybelline Baby Skin Primer as it is a personal favourite of mine. However when I tried this on the back of my hand it had the same kind of texture & my hand was left silky smooth after it so I thought 'why not?' and if it doesn't work out then Ill just pick up the Baby Skin in a couple of days. I know this isn't the time of year to be using a mattifying primer when I have normal to dry skin but I also know that this is the time of year for parties and events! This means I need my make up bullet proof on those occasions.... so let's give it a whirl shall we?? 









P.S Pro - Miracle Primer - E5.00

I also found this primer in the range. This Primer has a different feel & look to it. I haven't given it a try yet but I am honestly hoping that it is going to be a budget version of Benefit's Porefessional which I am already a fan of!! I also thought I could use this for everyday and keep the mattifying primer for occasional wear!! It looks and feels similar to the Porefessional but whether it performs in a similar way remains to be seen!!










Eyelash Curlers - E1.50

Okay, Okay I will admit these were a total impulse purchase! But how pretty!? I do have my pair from Fuschia Cosmetics that I got about 3 years ago now (oh god I hadn't actually realised that until right now!) So it was about time for a new one to be fair!  





Rose Gold Animal Print Hand Held Mirror - E1.50

Again HOW PRETTY!! It was not on the list but it was definitely coming home with me!! I have my other one which I got last christmas (pictured below) & Still use when im out and about even though its christmas themed but I think I will replace it for a while & bring it out again in the festive season!





P.S - Eyelashes - E1.50 (Each)

I picked two more packs of my favourite individual lashes! I wont talk too much about it as I've done a whole review post on them. If you missed it you can check it out here - Full Review






Wet & Wild - 1 Step Wonder Gel Nail Colour / Shade - Pale in Comparison

I spotted this line of Nail polish & Im not sure how long they have been out but I couldn't resist trying them! I'm really into pale nudes at the moment or really dark colours (theres no in between haha) So hence why I chose this colour. I recently saw a YouTube video with Tati (Glam Life Guru) where she said Pinky Swear was a dupe for Essie's Fiji & I was going to pick up that but I was drawn to this shade at the time. However if I like the formula I will definitely be picking up Pinky Swear as well as other shades!










Essence Waterproof Liquid Liner - (get price)  

Again this is a firm favourite of mine! It has been mentioned as a dupe for the stila liquid liner but as I have not personally tried that I can not confirm nor deny, all I know is that It is currently my favourite liquid liner at the moment and a product I always go back to. If you are in the market for a new liquid liner I definitely recommend you give this one a shot!







Catrice Matt Bronzing Powder

Again another favourite, I have used this for a while and my other one bit the bullet during the week, Its been on pan for a while & then I dropped it!! I really was planning on trying something new but again I wanted to stick what I know works for me. I will branch out soon though. This one is for medium skin but there is one for darker skin too that I saw (I assume there is one for light skin too but I didnt see it available) This is another product I recommend if you are looking for a new bronzer.





P.S. Brow Kit - E2.50

Now I have a review up of the P.S. Brow Kit but since that review they have changed it. Now it still contains the powder brow shade (which I love) but it no longer contains the lighter shade, which to be fair didn't work for me as a brow shade but (if you read my review you will already know) I did like to use it as a powder contour shade. Now the little trio contains a brown tinted wax, a powder brunette brow shade & a powder highlight shade. I haven't used this new version yet but I'm looking forward to giving it a go!! 








  

 Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Shade 26 - E2.90

If you have been with me for a while now (Thank you!) Then you will know I have raved and raved about the Essence Long Lasting Lipstick range. #obsessed I found a new shade! Woop woop!! Love this shade and can't wait to get some good use out of it!! Perfect Shade for this time of year!! In the Swatches picture below the swatch of the lipstck is accompanied a the Penny's / Primark Lip liner. 











Penny's / Primark Lip Liner - E1.50

This is the first lip liner from the line that I have tried. The one thing I don't like about the product is that the shade name is not on the product itself! I think it may have been on the packaging but I wasn't vigilant enough. So after consulting the Google gods. I believe this is shade 06 Nude. I saw this shade and though it was very "MAC" like & since I purchased this I hear that it has indeed been duped for MAC's Whirl!! Shows I have a good eye I guess!! #Proud. I hope it performs the same way!! I will keep you updated! 






Thats it!! My Little Penny's / Primark Beauty Haul!! Have you done and Pennys beauty shopping lately!!?? Please let me know in the comments below!! I'd love to know what you've been picking up!!
