Boots 3 for 2!

Just a quick one today, as deadlines are getting crazy. 

I have a week and a half left, then i'm FREE...until september.

I really want to have an amazing summer, this academic year has been incredibly stressful for a number of reasons, so giving the elbow to Uni for 5 months on the 23rd will be the dream.

I have a few plans for this summer, I'm going to Florida for a month to visit famalam which I am incredibly excited about..SEPHORA ANYONE?!

Also, there has been word of a potential explore of Europe for a couple of weeks with my chummy which gets me incredibly excited. 

                                          But onto the post eh?

I was back in the 'Shire last week for Easter and my attention may have diverted into Boots, and the 3 for 2 offer may have caught me out. I was having one of those days where everything went wrong, including smashing my phone screen..so the 3 for 2 purchase was obviously justified..

I've been using the MUA eyebrow palette for about 2 years now, but due to re-shaping my eyebrows I've began filling them out slightly differently. The colour in the MUA palette was WAAAY to red-ish and my eyebrows just looked a hot mess. So I Picked up Soap and Glory Archery in the colour "Hot Chocolate." I've used a similar product before, the MAC eyebrow twist pencil but it just ran out so fast that I couldn't justify paying that amount of money to repurchase it. So far I am loving the Archery product, the colour is almost a perfect match for my brows and the spooley on the other end is incredibly useful for those times when you have a bit of a heavy hand and need a bit of a blend.

Next I went for the Seventeen Falsify HD! I have heard such great things about this product, giving natural lengthening with one coat but also with the ability to build for a more dramatic look. What can I say, I am IN LOVE with the product. It is so affordable and really does what it says on the tin! 

For my third item I went for the Rimmel BB Matte Cream in Medium. I'd seen Shani Grimmond on Youtube use this a few times and the coverage for a BB cream was amazing. I've not had the best of luck with BB creams if i'm honest, i've never found one that I love..so I'm hoping this will be the one! The light in this is very pink in its undertones so I had to go for the medium. At the moment this is too dark for me so I will have to wait a while to give it a try but I am excited to give it a whirl. 

Have you been suckered in by the Boots 3 for 2? What did you buy?

Also, do any of my fellow oily skinned ladies have any recommendations for a good BB/CC cream?

See you later...

My Small But Growing Lipstick Favourites...

I Really can't say that I'm the biggest user of lipsticks, and I often gravitate to a bit more of a 'gloss n' go' routine, but this doesn't mean I don't own and have favourites and of course, end up leaving boots without a billion swatches of lipsticks in shades I'm not near brave enough to try swatched up and down both arms...

As you can maybe see from the image about I'm a bit of a high end make-up fiend, I'm so attracted to the whole experience really, the lure of the beautiful  packaging, the counter ladies and their ever so perfect (but sometimes a little overdone) make-up, the multitude of choices, it really is a tailored-to-you shopping experience..A little sad for some, but for me I'd choose the experience of 'High-end' beauty shopping any day! 

And in no particular order - My favourites. 

Chanel -Rouge Allure - 217 Radieuse

This is one of those 'your lips but better' shades - very sheer giving a slight pink glow to the lips.

Mac - Pink Plaid - Matte

This is a lovely matte pink shade that is very build-able to create a more intense shade if that is the look that you're wanting to achieve. I prefer more of a subtle sweep of colour so with just one application it creates the perfect amount of pink for me!

Mac - Rebel - Satin

This was the outcome of my first ever Mac visit over 4 years ago, and I still love the it! As you can probably tell its a little different in comparison to the other lipsticks I own but this one is such a lovely shade. Again its very build-able and is my go to Winter lipstick.

Mac - Honeylove - Matte

I'm so in love with this shade, and looks so beautiful matched with a cream lipgloss. 

Clarins - 121 Rouge Prodige

My favourite red shade. it claims to be a long-lasting lipstick but I don't agree with the statement at all, it comes off like no ones business, I've had it on my teeth, clothes and even my leg!..I mean maybe that's a little harsh it is a great product that is semi-matte and has a lovely vanilla scent to it - I'm a sucker for sweet smelling lipsticks. 



What are you favourites? do you have any recommendations for me to try?


Until next time....
