Review: September 2018 Glossy Box

Image
Its the second post to my glossy box review series. This months glossy box was inspired by 'Back to school' to help you  prep and get organised this September. whether your heading back to work, university or school, these 6 handbag essentials are perfect for if your late and on the go. This month was included with 5 full size items and 1 deluxe mini, all worth over £65. The box includes a perfume, Eyebrow cream, Lip Liner, Scalp Detox Treatment, Antibacterial Wipes and a bubbling sheet mask.  The Wild Garden Pure & Fabulous Eau de Parfum has notes of pear, water Lilly and warm amber. I really like receiving perfume in a glossy box as it gives me a chance to try other perfumes that i usually wouldn't go out and buy. This is a really nice fragrance it smells really fresh (which i like) and i would class this as an everyday fragrance. It is a 15ml fragrance but it is a great one to keep in your handbag if your jus wanting a touch up, and it would also make a great

Best Drugstore Face Mask's

So i know everyone loves a good face mask (I know i do). I try to do a sheet mask every other day and a clay mask maybe once a week. I know everyone has a different skin care routine but this is just what works best for me. I do have a lot but i do also have my go to ones that do work best for me and i find i can always notice a result when using these. They are all so affordable and all so easy to get a hold of. I will try to leave links of all the ones mentioned down below. Loreal Pure Clay Purity & Blemish Rescue Mask If your wanting a super affordable easy to get a hold of clay mask that will purify your skin then the loreal ones are definitely a good place to start. The creamy texture works straight deep into your pores, leaving your skin feeling and looking purified and looking matte without drying it out to much. instantly after washing it of your skin will feel fresh and purified and feeling much softer. But if your wanting a clay mask to tackle those blemishes then

My Powder & Cream Blushers - My Makeup Stash

I love blush, I never go a day when I'm not wearing it as i feel like it brings my whole look together and just add's a bit colour to my face as I'm rather pale. I do Love almost all of the ones in my collection apart from one. I will leave pictures of all the ones mentioned below.  Tarte Amazonian Clay 24HR Blush In Monarch I do like this blush but its not as pigmented as i thought it would be. I have more drugstore blushes that are more pigmented. It is a really nice colour and you can build it up but you just don't get much colour pay off. Pixi Aspynovard Glow-y Powder in Rome Rose This isn't a blush i usually reach more as it is very shimmery and for me it just doesn't really look right as it is very bright. I did get it in TKMaxx for £6 so i don't feel as bad that i don't like it. Clinique Shadow Duo & Blush This is such a lovely blush colour. I don't really reach for the eyeshadow shades as they aren't col

My Liquid Lipsticks & Lip Glosses - My Makeup Stash

I'm continuing by doing my lip products next. I am going to be doing it a bit different as i do have a lot so I'm just going to be inserting pictures, kind of showing what i have in each category as doing them all separate would talk to long and even i wouldn't like to read that. Lipstick's Traditional lipsticks are always my favourite. They are always my go to when i cant get liquid lipsticks to go right. With bullet lipsticks i find it really easy to over line my lips and it not look totally daft. Liquid Lipstick's I do like liquid lipsticks but i do struggle sometimes to get them right and always end up over drawing them to much even when using a lip liner. I do have some favs that i always use that i do find really easy to use and don't have to work to much with them. Lip Glosses I love lip gloss, I wear it daily and you'll see below that i have kind of a lot. I do love a full coverage lip gloss if I'm wearing them

My Concealer Collection - My Makeup Stash

I love concealer its my favourite part of doing my makeup. Ive never found a concealer that i haven't liked as long as its a full coverage one then I'm happy. As the rest i will leave pictures below of all products that are mentions below. The Body Shop Matte Clay Full Coverage Concealer This is a really full coverage concealer. I don't like to use pot concealer under my eyes as i can feel that they can be to thick, however i like to use this to do a cut crease and use as an eyeshadow primer base. Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer This is such a world wide favourite concealer and after trying it i can see why. It is such a nice formula. it has such good coverage and blends so nicely and makes any area applied to look flawless. I'm so glad they eventually released more shades as the lightest shade before was still to dark for me, but i now have a back up of the lightest shade now. Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer This is my

My Setting Spray's - My Makeup Stash

Image
It's the 6th post to my series and I'm continuing it by showing my setting sprays. I love setting spray or just anything i can spray on my face. I do use all of these and there's not a single one that i don't like, so i apologise in advance if i repeat myself for each product as i love them all. I will leave pictures of all the ones that are mentioned below. Revolution Hyaluronic Fix Setting Spray This is one of the best setting sprays i have ever used. It just feels so nice on the skin and leaves a lovely finish it isn't to hydrating which i like as i do have slightly oily skin so it does just soak up any excess powder. I think the hyaluronic effect is a good touch as i haven't seen any setting spray that have that included. Wet N Wild Photo Focus Natural Setting Spray This is a recent addition to my collection after they were released on beauty bay. It is a really nice setting spray and it is a really good dupe of mac fix +. I do notice a diff

My Primer Collection - My Makeup Stash

The 5th post to my series is my primer collection. I do believe that i have a lot of primers when i tend to use the same ones. I do use them all but i do have my favourites that work best for me. I do have a lot of drugstore primers and only seem to have one high end one. I will leave pictures of all the products that are mentioned below. Barry M Unicorn Primer Drops This is the most recent addition to my collection and I'm loving it. I always wanted to try the farsali drops but I'm not paying that much and these are just as good. They smell amazing and leave my skin looking quite glowy but it makes my makeup last all day, as they leave your skin feeling quite tacky which is what you want and it makes the foundation stick. Definitely a new favourite, highly recommend. Barry M Flawless Original Primer This is the first primer that i tried and I'm just about out of it. It is a really nice primer, it leaves my skin looking blurred and flawless. My foundation
