Recent Favourites // Product Review

Since i started watching the likes of Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter and Tanya Burr, I've really gotten into make up and taken inspiration from their videos. That's why today's blog post is all about my recent favourites in make up.

My first recent favourite is the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette. I'm not the biggest fan of eyeshadow, finding them pricey and hard to apply. I struggle putting any kind of make up on my left eye, as when I close it, the strongest part of my vision disappears. My left eye is stronger than my right, which makes everything so much harder. Still, I like how eyeshadow brings the focus to your eyes, so try to use it when possible. This palette contains 12 different shades of gold, burgundy and brown. Some are matt and others glittery, but they all leave a gorgeous look. This palette is easy to apply, long lasting and has a wide range of shades :) More than anything else, this is a great dupe for a more expensive palette. It cost only £3 from my local Superdrug.

Another thing I have been loving is the Collection, Long Lasting Perfection Concealer. This cost £4, a hefty price for such a small bottle. Non the less, this concealer is one of the most popular and one bottle can last up to 4 months! I don't break out often, having quite dry skin. So I use this concealer under my eyes, every time I do my full make up. It covers blueness and dark circles well, without looking cakey. For a concealer, this blends in very well and they have 4 colours to choose from, 1 being the lightest. So far, this is the best high street concealer I've come across.

The next thing i'm recommending is the AVON Super Extend Liquid eye liner. It has a pen nib and applies very easily. It's long lasting and doesn't rub off after a long 6 hours at school. I often find that liquid eye liners off the high street, don't last. This one lasts until you remove your make up and is priced at a decent amount of £6.

By far, my favourtie beauty related things I own are my Real Technique brushes. They're soft, don't loose shape when washed and usable for pretty much anything. The four brushes I own are from the core starter kit and are named. The great thing is, you can adapt and use the brushes how you want to. I use the contour brush to buff in my foundation. This set cost £15 from Amazon, but you can buy from many places, such as Boots or ASDA.

Another eyeshadow I have been loving is a Calvin Klein one. It was relatively cheap, and is very pigmented. For a cheap, not so bold eyeshadow it was definitely worth it. The colour is subtle and good for every day wear. It is easy to apply, long lasting and has a nice gold highlight in certain light.

My final favourite is the Revlon matte lipstick. This is in the colour Oh So Mauve, number 3. It is possibly the nicest lipstick I own and so easy to apply. The colour is quite natural and adds a slight boost to your lips. Even though it is a matte lipstick, it is very moisturising and suits a very natural make up look.

That's my review for today. I'll be back soon, at some point this week, quite possibly with a film review. Niamh x
