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

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!!

Makeup & Skincare Travel Essentials!!



Hello Beauties,

As many of you will know I am moving soon! Anyway the way it works out I will be moving down the night before I have to start my new job which means I basically have to pack a suitcase with all my essentials as I wont have time to unpack that night! So I thought why not make a post of all my Makeup & Skincare Essentials that I will be packing for the night before I can unpack! 

What I will be packing in my overnight suitcase - 

Skincare (in brackets I will add the one I am currently using!) 

By the way I ran out of most of my skincare last week / have to throw away as they were out of date (isnt it always the way) So I have picked up new products that I have to start tonight & more I have to pick up tomorrow!!  

  • Makeup Remover (Garnier Micellar waterFull Review!)
  • Cotton Rounds (Boots Brand or Lacura)
  • Eye Cream / Gel (Currently run out need to pick one up tomorrow!)
  • Serum (Lacura Q10 Multi-Intensive Serum - New Purchase havent tried it yet)
  • Day Cream (Lacura Q10 Daily Face Cream - Again New Purchase yet to try) 
  • Night Oil (Currently out & have to pick up new one tomorrow! really like the Argon Oil one)
  • Night Cream (Boots Simply Sensitive - I like it but have not been using it long enough for a full review)
  • Face Exfoliater ( Currently out - Also I dont recommend you bring this on a trip over night, unless you have really dry skin there really is no need) 
  • Makeup removing wipes (Pure)
  • Lipbalm (Carmex - Love this stuff!)
  • Lip Oil (Essence Prettifying lip oil - have not been using it long enough for a review)
  • Lip scrub (Again currently dont have one)














If any one has any recommendations on skincare please leave them in the comments below as I would love to hear them! Also you may notice there are may Lacura products in there that is because I wanted to pick up the range & try them out for you guys as they are a budget brand & I have heard great things about them!



Makeup

  • Brushes (These are mixed brands but mainly from Real Techniques, MAC, P.S.Love..., Essence & Fuschia.
  • Primer (Need to pick one up but My faves are Maybelline Baby Skin Primer - Full Review & Loreal Infallible Mattifying Base - Full Review)
  • Foundation (Currently using Rimmel Match Perfection in 100 Ivory & 102 Light Nude I mix & match) 
  • Concealer ( I use Rimmel Match Perfection, Collection Perfection Concealer or Essence Stay All day 16hr concealer)
  • Contour (NYX Blush - Taupe)
  • Bronzer (Catrice Sun Glow Matt Bronzer)
  • Blush (Currently trying out Essence Mosaic Blushes in 30 Kissed by the Sun & 10 Miss Floral Coral. You can check out the post where I hauled them here - Essence Haul!)
  • Eyeshadow (Palates are best in this situation! I will be packing my high-end Original Naked Palate & my high-street W7 In The Buff Palate. If you want read comparison posts of the UD Naked Palates & the W7 Palates you can just click on these links -Getting Duped! Naked Palate Original! & Getting Duped! Naked 2 & Naked 3!)
  • Kohl Eyeliner (Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil 01. Black Fever)
  • Liquid Eyeliner (Essence 24hr Liquid Liner)
  • Mascara (Catrice Ultra Black Volume Mascara - Lashes to Kill- with Black Diamond Powder)
  • Eyebrows (P.S.Love... Eyebrow Kit - Full Review)
  • Lips (So many choices here! Really just go with your gut instinct!) 
  • Setting Product (For Setting Spray - Urban Decay - All Nighter Setting Spray. For Powder - Catrice - Prime & Fine Setting Powder or Rimmel Stay Matt Setting Powder)   















Those are my essentials that I will be packing in my overnight suitcase!! None of the items I have mentioned are going to break the bank. They are all budget friendly (Well aside from the Urban Decay Products) This is not because I dont enjoy high-end products, of course I do! I just love finding hiding gems at the drugstore / high-street & these are my picks for the moment! For General Travel essentials you can pop over to my Lifestyle Blog where there will be a post up shortly. 

Leave me a comment letting me know your makeup & skincare travel essentials or what is one product you couldnt leave behind! Also if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them!!

Empties!! #4



Hey Guys!

Okay so its been a minute since Ive done an empties post! For anyone who has never seen one of theses posts Its basically where I keep all the empty packaging of products I have used up & tell you all about the product & whether I liked it or not! I will link my previous 3 empties below if you would like to see more. One of them is in video form! 


As I am on the move soon #sad #excited #dontknowwhatIamfeeling I could think of no better time than to do an empties post! Especially since it means I dont have to take it all with me!!

So here are the products I have used up recently!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The first time I picked this bad boy up was about 2 years ago & since then I have never been without it! This one here is a mini bottle which is perfect for travel! To be honest there should be many more but I must have thrown them out! I am currently making my way through one of the larger 400ml bottles! I absolutely love this stuff (For my full review on this product you can just click - Review - Garnier Micellar Water! )    






P.S. Love This... Makeup Brush Clenser

I love this brush cleanser for on the spot brush cleaning! I have gone through about 3 bottles of this now I believe. It is both a cleaner & a disinfectant which is hard to find at this price! At E2.50 a bargin it is an absolute bargin & I recommend anyone who enjoys makeup or is a makeup brush hoarder but hates the thought of cleaning them (Like me!) to pick this up! You will not regret it!!  






Loreal Infallible 24H Stay Fresh Foundation

I did really like this foundation. Good coverage & staying power! (To see more on this foundation & the Loreal True Match Foundation (old formula) You can just click here to see post & watch my Youtube Video -  Post - Current Top 5 Highstreet/Drugstore Foundations - Youtube Video)







Loreal True Match Foundation (new formula)

Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now (Thank you) or seen any of my Youtube Videos (Beauty La Linda - Youtube I will be starting up & making videos again! Planned for April! Keep posted for that!) then you will know that for the longest time now my holy grail (& I dont use that term lightly) foundation has been the Loreal True Match! This is the new formula & I have already gone through 4 bottles of it (can you tell I like it?) I was so worried when I heard that it had been re-formulated as I was such a lover of the old formula. However somehow they managed to make it better!! Go Loreal! It is super blendable, I love the texture of it! I love the colour range, the staying power is amazing! Seriously! If you havent tried it already you need to get your ass to a boots / Drugstore / Highstreet Store whatever... & pick one up! Now!






Loreal True Match Foundation (old formula)

Again I loved this at the time but it has since been discontinued!






Mitchum Advanced Control Stick deodrant

Okay so this is a #Youtubemademedoit moment! I have seen this deodrant all over youtube the past few months so when I needed a new one I thought "why not try it out for myself" I really like it! I dont think I would rave that much about it to be honest.... Its deodorant...   but it does the job well, I like the smell so I will be picking it up again!







Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

This has been in a previous empties & for good reason! I love this little product! It does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak! It is very appropriately named! It wakes you up! Well it makes you look wake anyway & thats what we looking for isnt it? Something that helps us to fool the world into thinking we are well rested people! Love this & Recommend anyone on the hunt for a new under eye brightening, highlighting concealer to give it a go!





      

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Nude Love

I have raved about this lipstick more than once here on my blog & also my channel on Youtube. Its appeared in many a favourites post & lets be real.. Ive got to love it if I actually manage to use up a whole tube of lipstick! I mean how often does that happen? If you would like to read a full review of it you can do so by clicking here - The Perfect Nude!? Review - Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Nude Love  I already have back ups as you can see in the photo!







Lacura Aqua Complete - Multi-Intensive Serum

This is a serum Ive mention once before in my Beauty Hangover Survival Kit Part #1 (You can check it out but clicking here - Beauty Hangover Survival Kit Part #1 (Skincare)) I really enjoyed this serum & have a full review coming on Friday! So keep posted for that!!






Thats all! Those are all the products that I have used up lately. It was kind of a favourites post too really as many of these are my go to products!! 


Have you tried any of these products!? What did you think!?
Have you any recommendations for any products I should try out??

Best of Beauty 2014!!




Hey Beauties!


Today I thought I would dedicate a post to my Top 10 beauty finds in 2014. This post would have been up sooner but unfortunately I have been really sick the past few days :( I know not a great way to start the new but it can only get better right?? hah...  

Honestly it was quite hard to narrow this down as there were quite a few to choose from. In the end I chose the products that were stand out kind of products that I used consistently since discovering them. All these are products that I chose over others most or all of the time! I chose 5 make up items and 5 skin care items. Enjoy!! 

Make - up


Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - 15 Nude Love

Ah the perfect Nude!! I think I may have raved about this product a tad too much already to be honest but you cant have too much of a good thing...can you?? haha! If you want to see a full review just click here - Link




Essence 24hr Liquid Liner

Essence does it again! I found this liner early last year and I have never used any other liquid or gel liner since. It is totally user friendly I find that I can get almost any thickness or shape of a cat flick that my little heart desires. The only thing I wouldnt recommend it for is smudging out because girl let me tell you this stuff is made to stay put! Perfect on application and 16hrs later (I have not made it to 24) Its still perfect!! Also it costs less than €4!! Bargin!! 




Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser - Primer

Another product that has featured in a monthly favourites and has a full review. This is another product that I have never strayed from since discovery in the beginning of the summer. For full review just click here - Link




Catrice Sun Glow Bronzing Powder

I love this bronzing powder. I think it may have been mentioned in a monthly favourites and if I havent it definitely should have been!! This bronzer is perfect for contouring and general bronzing up of the face and neck. I also use it in the crease to contour my eyes! Love Love Love!

  


Ardell Demi Wispies

This was another beauty I just happened upon one day and didnt look back! This product has already been featured in a product of the week and a monthly favourites. To read the product of the week review just click here - Link






Skin Care


Garnier Micellar Cleansing water and eye make up remover

These too products for me were total game changers when it came to taking off my make up! I have yet to find better products at removing make up and for the price they are an absolute steal!! For a full review on the Micellar Cleansing Water just click here - Link




Balmi Lip Balm

Like I said in my monthly favs in which this featured I thought lip balm was lip balm as long as it does the job im happy but I fell in love with this one!! If anyone is looking for a new nourishing lip balm to try then I recommend you give this one a go! 




Argon Oil Night Serum

This is another product that since I picked up I have been using it as my only serum and I have noticed that when I use it my skin seems softer and more hydrated! Plus as I have said previously I love the smell!!


Vaseline Healthy Hands + Stronger Nails ,  Hand Cream

I love this hand cream. I love smell its non sticky and and smells soooo nice. Plus my hands feel so soft and nourished after using it!




So There you have it! Now I realise I need to branch out and discover new products as I have been using the same ones for a while now. Cant wait for all the new discoveries in 2015!!



Have you tried any of these products??

What are your Best of Beauty picks for 2014??
