Quick Little Superdrug Haul.

Hey!

So in the last couple of weeks I picked a couple of things up that I'd been dying to try from Superdrug - all things which I will do reviews on once I've used them a bunch and know my thoughts on them!

So, I got the Barry M Fine Glitter Dust in Gold Iridescent, it was £4.59 and I thought this would be perfect for the inner corners, to use as a highlight (because it is very fine, barely feels like glitter) and for cut creases and such. It also looked like a very cheap alternative to MAC's Reflect Gold glitter! I'll let you all know how I get on with this when I get to using it properly.

Next up was the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer in the shade Tranquility, for £3. When I swatched this in store it looked like a much more matte version of one of my MAC lipsticks (one which I wish was matte as well) so I decided to pick it up too! Again I'll let you all know how I get on with this. It's a gorgeous colour though!

Lastly are the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighters in Iridescent Gold and Pink Shimmer, both £3. Originally, I just swatched these and decided that I didn't need yet another highlighter... So I carried on my way around Superdrug and swatched things but kept going back and looking at these and looking at the swatches and just completely falling in love! They ended up being in my hands before I knew it - and luckily too, because they were the last ones! 

I hope you enjoyed this little mini haul, will be posting my reviews as soon as I get to know my thoughts and all these products! :)

Thank you for reading!

Three Looks Using Morphe 35B Palette.

Hey lovelies!

 Just to go along with my review of the Morphe 35B palette, link to that is here.. I thought I'd do a little post on three looks I created using the palette and how diverse it can be! I love colourful looks so this palette is pretty much perfect for me :)

This is using mostly the reds/oranges and just a dash of the pink. I was quite fond of this look actually, kind of like an Anti-Valentines look!

This is my absolute favourite look of the three! If you can't tell, I absolutely love purple (my hair is purple as well) and this look was just perfect! I loved the way it turned out.

This one was also really nice and I liked the way it turned out, spotlight eyes are always a hit or miss for me - and I did actually get a little help on this look to make the inner blue pop by using MAC's Vanilla pigment, but shhh!!

Anyway, this is my three looks using the Morphe 35B palette, which just goes to show all the wonderfully colourful and amazing looks you can get from it!

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading :)

Just Some Makeup...

Can't remember the majority of the things I've used in these pics... Should really start remembering to take damn notes! I do know, however, that glitter is the devil and I am STILL finding it everywhere. I also know that the majority of these pics I am wearing ABH DipBrow in Dark Brown and the Contour Palette in Fair/Medium and the glitter used is by MAC :)

I hope you enjoy! x

MOTD | Mostly Drugstore Items.

I thought I'd do a little Makeup of the Day for you guys! I'm just going to show you all the products (including brushes) that I used today to make my face a lot more presentable to the world. 

I should say that I first off washed and moisturised my face and I might do a skincare type post soon, not sure yet! Anyway, so the first thing I used on my skin was the Makeup Academy Pro-Base Primer which claims to flawlessly even out your complexion - I have to say, I don't agree with that. It is a decent primer in that it keeps my foundation on all day, I'll possibly do a review on it soon.

Next, since my skin is super bad just now, I went in with my concealer before I done my foundation. I dabbed it all under my eyes and then all over my cheeks area (I have an insane amount of redness just now all over my face, not sure why) and the concealer I use for this is the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in the shade Ivory 10.

Next I went in with my cream highlighter by Illamasqua in the shade Aurora. This is absolutely gorgeous and highlights perfectly, I love it. I just dabbed it on the highest points of my cheekbones and a little bit down the nose for under my foundation. 

So then, using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, I blended the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in the shade 010 Light Porcelain into my skin and then with any leftover brush strokes, I dabbed with my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge to give my face an even, flawless coverage (I wasn't up for showing the sponge up close because it's embarrassingly dirty)

Now onto powder, I use the Maybelline Fit Me powder in the shade 115. It's a decent powder and keeps me pretty matte all day, which I love. I do prefer the Rimmel Stay Matte one though. I just use a French Connection powder brush with this to set my foundation. I also then curl my eyelashes.

After my powder, I dab a little bit more of the Illamasqua highlighter on to the highest points of my cheekbones again just to give it even more of a pop. Next, I go on to blusher. I use the Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush in Santa Rose. It's more of a bronzey-colour rather than a blush for me since I'm awfully pale and don't like many blushers but I like it nonetheless to give my cheek bones some definition. I use the Real Techniques Blush brush with this.

So next I comb my eyebrows through (or what there is of them...) with a little spoolie/spooly? Idk. One of them, anyway! Then I start to shape my brows using an Angled eyeliner brush - it's just one I got out of H&M but it's decent for my brows. I then fill in everywhere that is sparse and make sure they're the shape I want them. If I've made any mistakes, I'll go in with a little lip brush and my concealer to erase the mistakes. I use Illamasqua's brow cake in Gaze for my eyebrows.

I then curl my eyelashes once more and use my YSL Mascara that they no longer do. I then use my No7 Exceptional Definition mascara to use for my bottom lashes since it's teeny tiny.

I have linked absolutely everything I can - if things aren't on sale anymore that's why they're not linked! This is my kind of every day, go-to makeup routine and it's not anything fancy, pretty natural and light. This is what I looked like this morning after all of this:

I am being so overly posey in this photo, I do apologise. But I hope you enjoyed reading this, I enjoyed doing it actually and will be doing more like this in the future I think! I think an eyebrow tutorial (possibly with just step by step pictures will be coming on here soon as I have just now realised how big and bushy my eyebrows are with makeup, yet with nothing on them they are barely there, haha! Anyway, I'm rambling.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Thank you again for reading,

Rachel
