My Current Winter Favourite's Oh what a winter this has been! I am still considering it to be winter even though it is March (Scotland eh?).  Who would have thought that we would have more snow in March than we did in December?  During this cold winter I have found some new and some old favourite's. Beauty Favourite's Dose of Colours - Lipgloss The Winter has absolutely killed my lips so using lipgloss has became a new thing for me.  I bought this from Beautybay on a whim but I can honestly say that I love it and will be buying more.  Obviously it doesn't last all day as it is a gloss but it wear off evenly and still leave a nice hint of colour. Bondi Sands - Gradual Tanning Foam & UTAN & Tone Facial Tanning Mist  I hate winter in general. It's cold and wet and cold. Yes I said cold twice.  But being tanned seems to make everything better.  I don't want to be super tanned when I have no nights out planned. A nice glow is ampl...

Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation Packaging Foundation Wear Test  I had been wanting to try the Huda Beauty Faux Filter foundation since its release but I thought I would wait until the hype died down before deciding whether to purchase.  I purchase the foundation off of Cult Beauty where it is £32.  The colour I matched myself to is Chai, which is a really good match for my fake tan. Packaging The packaging is really nice and looks professional.  It is bulkier than Mac and Estee Lauder foundation but that does not bother me too much.  The packaging looks glass but is actually a thicker plastic but that is also fine with me as I usually drop things.  And the best thing is that it has a PUMP!! Application  I used a Beauty Blender to apply this foundation and it gave it a flawless finish.  I feel like using a brush may make this foundation more cakey than it needs to be.  Two pumps is enough to do my whole face (a little goes a l...

My plan for January was to save money after spending so much at Christmas time.  As you can see from the title this did not happen.  Although I did not spend as much as I normally would. Violet Voss - Hashtag palette  Now, how beautiful is this?  When I first opened up the box I was unsure whether I would actually use it or not.  I am happy to tell you guys that I LOVE IT !! It is so pigmented and the colours are absolutely GORGEOUS !! This is my first Violet Voss palette so I wasn't sure what her palettes were usually like. Would I buy another Violet Voss palette? 100% yes! Sugarpill - Single Eyeshadow - Buttercupcake At the end of the month, after searching for weeks (maybe even months) I finally found the yellow eyeshadow I have been looking for.  I had never bought a Sugarpill single eyeshadow before, but the pigment is amazing and the colour is just what I was looking for.  This eyeshadow is larger than my most of my other sin...

2017 was a great year for me, but not for my bank account. Whoops! Here are my top beauty products of 2017 in no particular order: Cover FX - Custom Enhancer Drops - Candlelight Even though these may seem pretty pricey to some, they last a very long time.  Currently I mix these with my foundation or apply before my foundation to give me a nice glow. Mac - Highlight - Double Gleam This highlighter goes with every look and looks awesome on the brow bone. Physicians Formula - Butter Bronzer - Light This is easily the best bronzer that I have ever tried. I'm very pale at the moment so the light shade is pretty accurate for my skin tone at the moment but I will definitely be buying the darker shade for the summer.  It says it in the name it goes on just like butter, no blotchiness which I sometimes get with bronzers. Kevyn Aucoin - Sculpting Powder - Light I accidentally received this in a BeautyBay order I made. And it was the best accident ever !! I do not thi...

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2018 I was so excited to receive my Beautylish Lucky Bag! I continuously tracked where my parcel was for days before it arrived.  To those of you that don't know, Beautylish's Lucky Bag is $75 plus shipping (this is the regular sized edition, there is also a XL version but this does not ship to the UK where I reside).  This is my first ever year to purchase the Lucky Bag. When purchasing the lucky bag you have no idea what you will receive but that just makes it even more exciting!  The lucky bags go on sale on Boxing day and I received my lucky bag on the 15th of January. What I received in my Lucky Bag? Jeffree Star Liquid Lipstick in Nathan -  (RRP $18 on Beautylish/£16 on BeautyBay) To those who know me, you will know how much I LOVE Jeffree Star's Liquid Lipsticks.  This will be the 11th that I have purchased.  I do not own this one yet so that makes it even better.  Jeffree Star's formula is one of the long...
