Sisters are bad Influences

S.O... as I mentioned before in my last post my sister came home last week and of course we had to have the obligatory shopping trip before the cinema trip!!

And of course because I have an obsession with make up Superdrug happened to be on that trip.

Item 1


For the past few weeks I have been looking to work on my eyebrows and on this shopping expedition I came across the Make up Academy Pro-Brow ultimate eyebrow kit (Fair). The Kit has 3 shades of powder and a highlighter to apply under the brow to give a finished look. Along with a mini tweezers and a double ended brush to help you perfect your brow. I found this product easy to use and as a relevant new comer to filling in my eyebrows I love that could jump straight into perfecting my eyebrows.

Price £3.50

Item 2

Now I have grown to love the L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Collection and after experimenting with the Blake I went and got the Eva Pure Red. Now this one is a more orange in colouring in comparison to the Blake. Like my other matt red from this collection it have a great staying power and I highly recommend these to anyone and everyone!!!

Price £6.99


 Item 3

Not sure why but I just I can't get enough of red lips atm (might be my obsession with Taylor Swift) and so I have a wonderful deep red for you all. A well know favourite amongst many is the Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Wine 107. A perfect matt lipstick with an intense velvet colour which was wonderful/spooky for Halloween But also an autumn/winter essential look. but surprisingly it smells sooo good! (not what you look for in a lipsick). 


Price £5.49




Item 4

 Now everyone needs a good natural eye shadow palette and mine has been recently been running out so I thought I would try a new a different one for a change. Beauty UK  is a brand I have never tried before an the Posh Palette Masquerade No.2 looked look full of great colours.

Price £5.99


Item 5

My last item in the haul is the Real techniques Nic's Picks collection. This group of 5 brushes comes in limited edition silver colour and is part of the Superdrug Christmas range.

Firstly The duo-fibre Face Brush. Perfect for application of face powder if you need a nice light weight coverage (not a powder face) and also works well for blending blusher and bronzer. The duo-fibre gives a lovely soft touch.










Secondly the Exclusive Cheek Brush. This brush if great for applying make up across the cheekbone helping to highlight and shape key features.

Next the Exclusive Angled Shadow Brush. For a while I have needed a brush to help me with my use of eye shadow and this is a great addition to the collection as it is perfectly cut to create layering in the crease off the eye lid simple.

Thirdly The Base Shadow Brush allows you to apply a base of eye shadow flawlessly but also great for blending and I think its a great addition to anyone's make up bag.







Lastly the Exclusive Eye liner Brush this makes the application on a gel liner easy and can also be used to apply eye shadow on the lower lash line to finish of a look.

The Struggle of Pale Skin

S.O..... One problem I have always had is getting a foundation to match my skin colour! And because I am so pale, if I get the wrong shade I look like an oompa loompa (which is not a good look) and to top it off I have a more yellow toned skin meaning its even harder to find foundation to match my skin, as the majority of pale foundations are pink based.

On one of my fantastic trips to MAC, I asked for their expertise on what foundation I should use, where I found that I had the choice of two..... the lightest two they had! Although they were perfect shade wise, I just don't think I could justify spending £21.50 on Studio Fix Fluid Foundation every time !

So I went on a hunt in Superdrug and came across these three products which I think give me the perfect (pale) skin look! 

Item 1


The Collection Lasting Perfection Liquid Concealer in 1-Fair. I had heard great things about this concealer and when I saw that it came in fair I just had to give it a go! It has a nice creamy texture and gives amazing coverage under the eyes and on blemishes. The colour is nice and light which helps to brighten up dark circles under the eyes. Overall I love this product as it is not got a red under tone meaning it doesn't produce an odd colouring !

Price £4.19

Item 2



Item number 2 in the Haul in the L'Oréal Infallible Foundation Porcelain 15. I had been eyeing this foundation up for a while in my many trips to Superdrug and as I was searching for a new foundation how could I not buy it?!? When I was trying the different shades, I had a great conversation with one of the staff about my skin and after testing them out Porcelain seemed to be the one for me. Overall I am loving this foundation especially because of the coverage and creamy texture when you apply it to the skin (its a perfect budget alternative to the MAC foundation).

Price £9.99

Item 3

I love applying a powder over the top of my foundation to set it in place and because I have very oily skin I need something to counteract this. I have sampled a few powders but usually stick with the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. However, for a change I thought I would try the Maybelline Matte Maker in Classic Ivory. This has a nice soft texture and leaves the skin lovely and matt, just what I wanted! Also the Maybelline is a fairer colour compared to the Rimmel so I will be sticking with this one for a while.

Price £3.99


These three items have been my staples for the last few weeks and I have found they created an even skin tone whilst matching the rest of me too (no more orange face wahoo!)
