Revlon Photoready Prime + Antishine



I love Revlons Photoready section, I think for the price, the quality and results are amazing! And this product is no different, any time I have used it, I'm matte and stay matte, it keeps my make-up on for a good few hours before I would need to touch up, if even and in pictures I look flawless. 
But what i also love about this is that you can use this as a primer and also to matte your skin before you apply your make-up, but you can also apply it after your makeup is done, if you happen to think you look a bit shiny you can just apply it like you would with a powder and it doesn't disturb your makeup in the slightest! 

Overall, a really great product which I would highly recommend!

Lottie London



These brushes have only been in my local Superdrug for about a month and when they had a three for two across everything, I decided to add these to the offer. I love new make-up brushes and nothing can beat my realTechniques ones, but I do really like these.
They have quite a selection of brushes and the two I picked up were the blush brush and the tan brush (bronzer). They are incredibly soft and apply the products really nice and evenly distribute it. I also love the packaging, its really cute and girly, the only thing I would say though is, the blush brush, should've been the pink one instead of the blue one, that's my only beef with this.
So all in all, I do really like these and I'm intending to purchase some more from the collection

Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit


I'm a little on the fence about this product, there are things that I like and things that I don't. I like the packaging, I think it's really cute, it's not too bulky and it's a good size to take with you if you were going travelling. I like the colour and the tones of the products, they're quite cool toned which I like and there's a very gradual shade difference, it's not to harsh between the bronze shade and the contour shade which makes for a really natural contour. They also blend really nice and look very natural.

What I don't like, is the smell. When I first bought it I thought i was maybe just the packaging or the wee bit of plastic that protects the powders - but now I think it is the actual product which is pretty off putting for me as it doesn't smell the best, though you can't smell if when it's on your face so I guess it's not too bad and when I bought it was on offer for about £5.99 I think, so I can't really complain.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation


Here I am wearing my NARS Sheer Glow Foundation and my skin just looks wonderful and healthy with a lovely glow. On my lips I have Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Don't Pink of It (10) which is a gorgeous muted matte pink shade

I have wanted this foundation for ages and unfortunately no where in Northern Ireland sells it and to be honest, I didn't want to buy it online in case it came broke or something, so I decided to wait until I went to Birmingham to get it. 
I got the shade Punjab which is Medium 1 and it was £31...... pretty expensive I know, but that's around the standard price for a high end foundation and it was totally worth it.

The coverage is really nice, I would say it would medium to definitely buildable, it gives the skin a really nice luminosity/dewy glow making the skin look lovely and healthy. It blends really nice into the skin as well and doesn't appear cakey even when I build it to full coverage.
Overall, this foundation is everything I wanted it to be and I will definitely be purchasing it again, maybe even online! :)

Weekend Away - Birmingham

As strange as this may sound, I have never been to England, ever. I have always wanted to visit and explore but the opportunity had never came up until my boyfriend's Dad's Wedding and we were able to go from Friday to Tuesday. It was a great experience and it was a little overwhelming - there are just so many people and they were all quite frankly, a little bit rude haha but anyways, it was a great experience. 

We didn't do anything extravagant but we did go to Greggs and The Bull Ring Shopping Center and oh my God, Greggs is to die for, the cupcakes and buns all looked amazing and they were so cheap s well! And the Bull Ring was just something else, it was huge and there was so many shops I was just blown away...

The wedding was also a beautiful ceremony - the bride and groom looked wonderful and the eveneing do was also really great, it was very laid back and fun and the food was delicious which is always a bonus :)
