Benefit Makeup Haul!

Good Afternoon! 

On Wednesday I went to my local shopping centre to attend a 'student lock in' with my cousin. We had a lovely shopping trip although I didn't buy anything except for these two little splurges! 

 The first thing I bought was the 'porefessional' from the Benefit counter in Debenhams. I had been looking for a makeup primer for a long time and after reading loads of reviews online I decided to treat myself to this. To begin with the packaging is so cute! I like how the box opens to look like a 'doll'. I will give this a try and let you know how I get on with it!

 Whilst I was browsing around the counter I also spotted this big easy better than BB cream and picked it up. I had also seen lots of reviews online about this and seeing as it is relatively new out on the market I wanted to give it a try also. I haven't tried a BB cream but am excited to try this out. This is another Liquid to Powder formula so I am excited to see how it works.

When checking out the lady gave me this fake up concealer to try. This is a hydrating crease control concealer. I am also going to be trying this out and will hopefully have a review of it up soon if it all works well!

Benefit is a makeup brand that has really improved with its products over the past couple of years so I am excited to try some full sized products that I have heard great things about.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what Benefit products I need to try!

No7 Nail varnish collection

I know I usually post on a Sunday, however I couldn't wait any longer to post about this little collection of nail varnishes. I got this as a present from my auntie, uncle and my little cousins at christmas and just love everything about them! I am a huge nail varnish freak, and after clearing out my polishes I have managed to be left with more than I started with (weird right!?). The consistency of the colours are just on spot. I tend to use them with a base coat and a top coat so that helps to make the varnish glide on easily. Two coats of these and your mani is complete! 

In the set comes Totally Teal, Devils Delight, Damson Dream and Hot to Trot. I love how all the beauty companies are starting to name all of their varnishes as looking at old No7 varnishes in my collection they are left nameless. Each varnish comes with 4ml of nail paint inside which seems to last forever.

Have you tried any No7 nail varnishes?

Lipstick Haul and review!

I am a sucker for a cute lipstick and when spotting these little beauty's this summer I felt it would only be write to blog about them. The lipsticks in question are 'Pink Punch- Baby Lips' 'English Rose- Maxfactor colour elixir' 'Bombshell- Mac Frosted lipstick' and 'Lovesick- Revlon Just Bitten, Kissable Balm Stain'.

Similarities?
Two of these colours are very similar in the way they look although they do have different textures when applied to the lips. My favourite out of the 4 has to be my MAC lipstick which I have been wearing as part of an everyday makeup look. The other two lipsticks are very different to anything I have ever owned and I love that the Revlon balm stain really does last ALL day!

Product most shocked by

The product that I was most shocked by was the quality of the Pink Punch Baby Lips balm. I had heard of the hype for this item from many you tubers/bloggers in the states and was waiting patiently for this product to come to the UK. I now totally agree why it is so loved. This balm stays on the lips for a really long time and moisturises as well as looking really pretty. I have even been wearing it over the Lovesick Revlon Balm Stain.

Packaging 
The packaging for all of these products is really professional. I love the way that the Baby lips is in a 'twisty' tube rather than in a pot as it makes it really easy to apply. I also really like how the Revlon Balm Stain can be twisted up. I would also like to note here that I have had this product over a month now and I haven't had to twist it up yet, even though I have worn it everyday!. Maxfactor have also really 'upped' their game when it comes to their packaging. Although the lipstick isn't high end the golden case looks so professional and I really like how you can see the colour at the bottom of the case. Finally, the MAC lipstick is in a classic MAC casing. I love the simplicity of all MAC products and this lipstick definitely did not disappoint. (I also secretly really like the smell of MAC lipsticks!)

Overall all of these products have been worth the price that I had paid for them and I will definitely be buying more when these ones run out! (dreading that day).
