STUDIO SECRETS MAGIC PERFECTING BASE - L'OREAL

This primer is very thick, it blurs imperfections like enlarged pores and makes your skin look smooth and matte. For me I always use it with a base so I apply and let it sit for a bit, then I apply foundation it works best with creme foundations or ones with silicon as this is a silicon primer and would probably not work well with water based foundations. When I apply this my skin feels so soft and smooth and so far no breakouts yet. I get a good 8-10 hours of wear which makes the price worth it. You only need a tiny amount and can be worn with or without makeup.  This is a great product and I would definitely buy it again.

-Mattifies skin without drying it
-Reduces the appearance of pores
-Can be used as a base under liquid foundation

ONE BY ONE VOLUME EXPRESS MASCARA - MAYBELLINE

Holy grail mascara. I don't even know where to start with expressing how much I love this mascara. I have naturally long eyelashes, and this makes them look just so much longer and thicker, it's unbelievable. If I try a mascara out and don't like it, I always go back to this one. It gives my lashes super mega volume, and really curls them upwards as well as making them super thick. The brush is super big and really good at getting every lash and separating them. I really love the packaging as well, it's such a lovely colour. Seriously, go and buy this mascara. You will not regret it.

- Mascara doesn't clump on brush OR lashes
- Gives super volume and thickness
- Formula isn't too wet
- Doesn't make lashes feel dry or crunchy
- Dries super quickly and doesn't transfer

MONTHLY FAVOURITES - JANUARY 2014

Beauty favourites

Top Secrets All-in-One BB Cream - Yves Saint Laurent - Shade: Medium
This BB Cream from YSL is amazing! It's by far the best BB Cream I've ever tried. It's really hydrating, it glides on your skin very nicely and feels so moisturising. This BB Cream also works as a primer if you want to even out your skin tone, hydrate, conceal or correct your skin before you put your makeup on. I don't have to put concealer on when i use it, it gives such a great coverage.

Naked 2 Palette - Urban Decay

In this palette are 12 beautiful shades, 3 matte shades and 9 shimmery/glittery shades. This palette is the perfect travelling companion, it doesn't only offer so many possibilities with a mirror included, it comes with a full size crease and shadow brush, the packaging is made from a steel type material, which is really easy to clean with a wipe or a wet cloth. I don't know if my makeup collection is the only one that gets a bit dirty, so being able to just wipe it all off is a bonus.

They're Real! - Benefit
I honestly love this mascara, i have 0 problems with it, it doesn't clump and it evenly spreads out your lashes to look perfect. it doesn't flake or melt off after a while but the TIP of the brush is the best part, it has a rounded end that still has the little bristle things instead of just being a blunt tip. It makes it alot easier to spread out your eyelashes and get a non-clumpy, even look! 

 Eye Brows - MAC - Shade: Brunette
I was having such a hard time making my brows look natural. My brows looked so harsh no matter what I used to fill them in with. I could never find the right shade.  Now my brows look so well groomed and it doesn't matter if I mess up tweezing, you can't tell. 

Matte Lipstick - MAC - Shade: Diva
This lipstick is amazing. It is a very gorgeous plum/burgundy vampy look that is perfect for the fall and winter. I receive so many compliments when I wear it. 

Nail Lacquer - OPI - Shade: Up Front & Personal
Love this colour! I've been wearing it all month!

MINI MAC HAUL

 Recently I've been trying out some new makeup from MAC, I wanted to share with you what I got and what i think about the products!

 Mineralize Skinfinish - Soft & Gentle

I think this highlighter is so beautiful! It is probably going to be my favourite next summer!

Studio Finish Concealer - NW 25

I needed a new concealer so I  decided to give this one a try, Not so sure what I think about it yet.

 Eye Brows - Brunette

Love love love this eye brow pencil, my new favourite! The pencil is very thin so it's easy to apply, it goes on really smooth and has a natural finish. This eyebrow pencil is replacing my Sensai eyebrow pencil!

 Lip Pencil - Naked

I use this lip pencil to line my lips before I put on  my Creme D'Nude lipstick, not much to say about it!

Cremesheen Lipstick - Creme  D'Nude

A very nice nude lipstick for everyday use! 

Matte Lipstick - Diva

My new favourite lipstick! Im so obsessed with dark lipsticks, this deep reddish burgundy is so perfect I just can't get enough of it!

 Swathes: Diva - Creme D'Nude

Fix +

A very nice moisturising/refreshing spray. I spray it on my face before makeup application and it's also great for applying shadows.

HOMEMADE LIP SCRUB

What you need

Sugar or Brown Sugar
Honey
Coconut Oil
Jar
Teaspoon

I took about 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of honey and mixed it all together. I took my mixture and rub in gentle circular motions around my lip area to remove excess dead and flaky skin.
The oil in the mixture will help to keep your lips from drying out. When you’re done I would apply a moisturising balm to your lips to really lock in the moisture.
