A KIKO Milano Haul

Evidently I am a makeup lover, hence why I created this blog in the first place. I like many others love to try out and experiment with new makeup and for so long I've been lusting after a variation of different products from Kiko, a brand that before now I had previously never tried before! 

That recently changed however, as rewind back to November when Black Friday sales were at their peak, I decided to place a pretty hefty order on Kiko's website. At the time they were having a Buy 6 Get 3 Free sale on and I quite simply couldn't pass on that incredible deal. As they were being shipped directly from Italy it ended up taking roughly two weeks to arrive, but I sat patiently and waited...well not literally!

High End Beauty Wishlist!

Now there's no denying that my makeup collection has grown quite considerably over these last couple of years, but there's one thing that's really missing from my collection, and that's high end makeup! I do own pieces here and there, especially as I'm a big fan of brands like Urban Decay and Too Faced but overall I really haven't tried that much in terms of high end. It's not necessarily a bad thing; I think a lot of drugstore products can do what high end products do (or even better at times) at just a fraction of the price. But there's just something special about having these high end products in your collection and I've now decided that I need to start trying more out!

 

So I've compiled a little wishlist with the top products that I would really love to try!

 

Why I Don't Like Covergirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation / The 12 Days of Blogmas #10

 

As someone who would, after this past year consider themselves as a makeup junkie, when I hear fantastic reviews about a certain product, I jump at the chance to buy it and I was certainly very excited to get my hands on this! In this case I'd heard a lot of great things about the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation or if you're from the UK, I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as the Max Factor Facefinity Foundation. I purchased this product in the September when on holiday in Florida, and now feel that I've had substantial time to gain a good enough view of this foundation to give an honest opinion.

7 Drugstore Products I Regret Buying

 

When it comes to buying beauty products, I am most certainly one of those people who will scour the Internet in search of reviews to see if I should actually purchase that product. Although this generally works to my benefit, there are still those times where some products that others rave about, I end up absolutely hating. I will however mention that most of these products listed here were bought on my initiative...possibly showing that I should not trust my own opinion!

Mini Makeup Haul!

On a few different shopping trips I've been needing to pick up a few different beauty items, which thankfully I've been able to find...however as usual I did get pulled in by some pretty great deals as well, oops! I've also purchased some clothing items recently as well, but I thought it would be best to do two separate hauls instead, so this is quite a small haul really.

 

Review // Maybelline's Better Skin Foundation

 

So looking at this photo you may be wondering why I have a tester instead of a normal bottle of foundation. I didn't steal it from the store just in case you were wondering; I have this because recently Maybelline were giving away free samples of their new foundation online. So because I'd been wanting to try this for a while, I took this as a chance to test it out and see if I should actually buy the full size. And I'm so glad I did because I hate it!!

Rimmel vs Rimmel

 

I'm a big lover of foundations and I have to say that Rimmel make some great ones. I haven't yet tried the ever so famous Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation yet, but I have tried the Match Perfection and Lasting Finish foundations. I've been using both of these foundations for well over a year now so I thought it would be interesting to compare them and show you which one I actually prefer!

The Best Of Beauty 2013!

Hello Lovelies!

 

Now I know this is a bit late to be posting this, but I thought as it's still only January and since I have only just started my blog, this would be a suitable first ever beauty post for my blog.

 

 

I decided on 6 make up products to include in this post, all which were purchased and tried for the first time last year and even better 5 of them are drugstore products (or high street here in the UK), HURRAY!!!
