Drugstore Self Tanners

I have used a lot of self tanners from a wide range of brands, and I now think I have found my favourite ones - from Superdrug. I'm all about that natural sun kissed glow and these two tans definitely give that.

The first tan is by the brand Sunkissed which I got when I was over in Birmingham for only £3.99. It has a yummy coconut scent even when rinsed off.  It is very moisturising on the skin and feels lovely as well. Colour wise it is very golden as it has more of a yellow undertone than any of the other tans I used, but once it has developed after a few hours it deepens into more of a natural tan colour.

The second tan is one I have been wanting for ages as I've seen it so much on social media - especially Instagram, and it is  Bondi Sands The Australian tan. I got this the other day when it was on offer for £9.99 and I love it. It also has a yummy coconut scent to it even when rinsed off and depending on how dark you want the tan, you can rinse it off after one hour. The colour itself is very natural, as i you were on holiday - it's not too yellow or orange, but the perfect shade of brown. It's very moisturising on the skin and makes my skin feel and smell lovely

Bourjois Summer Collection

I've seen these products a lot throughout social media, especially Instagram and I've been dying to try them and give you my thoughts. I love Bourjois - their products are amazing and so are their new products.

I picked up three of the 12hr Aqua Blushers, a Colour Boost lip crayon and their new, Nude Sensation foundation.

The blushers are gorgeous. They have four shades in total and I have three of them which are; Pink Twice, CocorriCoral and Nude.

The colour, when applied and blended onto the skin is quite sheer, giving that natural, healthy glow. The formula is a gel, which is feels lovely and cooling on the skin and is very easy to blend. 

I picked up only one of the Colour Boost lip crayons as I wasn't sure if i would like the formula or texture as I am a bit fussy - but I do love it. The shade I got was Proudly Naked which is a lovely, natural pink shade. It keeps my lips hydrated and feeling soft, the texture is very smooth and comfortable doesn't make my lips feel sticky and it also lasts quite a long time too

I then picked up the Nude Sensation foundation in the shade 44 Sunny Nude, which is the darkest. The formula is a mousse in texture and it is very smooth to apply, it doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all. It also helps to refine any of my pores and it smoothes out any fine lines I have especially around my eyes. 

(Left to Right) No make up - One layer of the foundation - Two layers of the Foundation

 The foundation, as you can see does even out my skin tone and reduces the appearance of redness and blemishes etc. It is definitely buildable to a fuller coverage without feeling heavy. But I would say for those of you with very dry skin to avoid this foundation, even though it isn't necessarily drying, I don't think it would be kind to dry patches and it would more than likely accentuate them 

But overall, I love these products and I will definitely be building up my collection of these products :)

Pay Day Splurge

I got a little excited when I got paid and made a trip to Yankee Candle because I love candles, and Superdrug to see what goodies I could get and there were a few 3 for 2 offers, which do bad things to me and my bank balance, but no matter, I love make up and this is what I picked up :)

Makeup Revolution is fast becoming one of my favourite drugstore brands, so when I seen this highlighter palette and lip lacquer I new I had to get them. I've also heard so many good things about the MUA velvet lip lacquers so I decided to try them

Maybelline was doing a 3 for 2 offer acros all of their make-up so I decided to pick up their new Master Sculpt kit, I also picked up their baby skin primer becaue I've heard so many good things about it but never thought to try it and finally I picked up a new colour sensational lipstick

Bourjois also had a 3 for 2 on their makeup and I new without doubt, that I had to try their new Aqua Blush so I picked up two and also a Rouge Edition Aqua Lacquer 

And finally I picked up a new Bourjois chocolate bronzer because my other was just crap and also a new Revolution blush :)

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation & Concealer

Maybelline is a great drugstore brand - it's affordable, it has a huge range of products and has been around for years! For me personally, the Fit Me range is my favourite - I love the foundation and concealer. 

The foundation retails for £9.99 which is the standard drugstore price for a foundation. It has a smooth texture - it feels lovely and moisturising on the skin and makes the skin look healthy and dewy and it also has an SPF of 18. As the texture is smooth, it is very easy to blend and it doesn't appear cakey or anything like that. I picked up the shade 220 Natural Beige as I like to wear this foundation with tan and it matches my tan very well, though there are 18 shades altogether in the collection so choosing a shade to match you would be fairly easy.

The concealer retails for £5.99 which is also a very good price. It has quite a light and smooth texture which makes it very easy to blend and smooth over any fine lines around the eye area - and it also helps to brighten the under eye are as well. It does have good coverage so I also like to use this on blemishes. 

My Everyday Face

These are the products I have been using on my face for about a month now, and I absoloutely love them. This routine for me is so much faster but gives the same awesome finish - my skin looks great and healthy but it's a lot faster which is a big bonus!

The products I use are;

- NARS Sheer Glow in Punjab

- Maybelline Fit Me concealer

- Chisel Cheeks by Barry M

- Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Lovely Pink

- MUA Matte Perfect powder 

L'Oreal Super Liner brow pencil in Dark Brown

- L'Oreal Telecopic Mascara in Black

- Bourjois Liquid liner in Black

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
