Nip + Fab Salicylic Acid Range. Are They Worth It?

Image
Recently i have been hearing lots of good thing's about the new Nip + Fab Teen range, now I'm far from a teen anymore but with them being salicylic acid i thought that i would give them a go, because it cant hurt to try right! I love Nip + Fab products and i have been using them for years and they have always worked great for me. I have previously tried the glycolic range and that worked great for me when i don't have breakouts.  I wasn't going to upload this review for a while so i had a chance to try and review the products properly but i have been using them for about a week and i have already seen a huge difference in my skin and i did start to come out in a few breakouts but that always happens as its bringing the bad stuff out of your skin, and while still using them the breakouts were gone with in a couple of days. At the moment my skin is not doing so good and i have recently had a lot of breakouts. I have tried so many different skin care products (probably no

Holy Grail Drugstore foundation & Powder Routine

Image
I know eveyone has that one foundation that they always go back to even when they have about 10 others in their collection. I have tried foundation after foundation trying to find one that sits on my skin the way that i want it to and just make my skin look flawless and smooth. I know everyone gets caught up in the release of a new high end foundation (because i do) and i sometimes have to restrain myself from buying them as i already have enough foundation to last me a life time, and sometimes in the release of a drugstore foundation which i do buy and they're always super affordable and wont break the bank. And if i don't like them then i dont feel as bad. I do have slightly combination skin so i do tend to get a bit oily throughout my t-zone and around my nose and chin, but that is only when its super hot and it rarley is in the UK. So i need a foundation that is going to stay on all day and not budge, and this one definately does the job. i try to use all of the other

My Single Powder & Liquid Highlighters - My Makeup Stash

Image
Highlighters are my favourite part of doing makeup and i think that any beauty influencer or just makeup lover will agree that all and any highlighters are amazing and will also themselves have a wide selection of highlighter, and therefore i have a lot of them. Again i will leave pictures of all the ones that are mentioned down below. Revolution Pro Illuminate For £4 this is an absolutely amazing highlighter. I had been looking for this highlighter for ages but it is really difficult to get in stores, as i wanted to see if the colour would match me. But eventually just ordered it. It is such a nice pale gold colour that would probably suit all skin tones. It is not glittery at all and it really does just give that beautiful glow from within look. The powder is so soft and smooth and not chunky at all, it applies beautifully and you can build it up more for an intense highlight. There really isn't enough hype around this product and I have never really heard anyone ta

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
