Top 5 Drugstore Lipsticks Under £5

I love trying out new lipsticks but unless it claims to do something amazing or is a high end brand I don't really want to pay a lot. I buy new lipsticks all the time and I never stick to the same one so imagine if I was to pay more than £5 each time! It would cost me a fortune! Obviously, if I always used the same lipstick then I would pay more. I don't think I have ever used up a full lipstick. As with everything, I like to change all the time! I have picked 5 lipsticks that I think are great value but the price tag is kind to your purse! 
 

1) MUA Lipstick In Shade 5 - This lipstick is from the MUA £1 range and is absolutely brilliant! This is my favourite shade from the range but I do have others that I love! In total, there are 16 shades to choose from. This shade is a shimmery pink that really suits my fair skin. It applies easily and feels great to apply.. is moisturising and hydrating to the lips. It doesn't last all day and you do have to reapply it a couple of times but the wear time is longer than I expected for a £1 lipstick! You can't really grumble when it is only costing £1! It doesn't dry your lips out which is a big bonus for me! I hate having dry lips. The finish with this shade is quite sheer but I like that, it also has a slight shimmer which is nice! You can pick this lipstick up at most Superdrug stores or on the MUA website.   

 
2) No 7 Vital Brights Lipstick In Shade Blossoming Pink - Blossoming pink is a very sheer light pink colour which achieves a barely there look, I absolutely love the shade! It is perfect for pairing with a more dramatic eye look and it would suit most skin tones. Application is easy and applies smoothly and evenly leaving your lips to feel very hydrated. It is a creamy formula and almost feels as though you are applying a balm rather than a lipstick. The wearing time is good but you do have to reapply throughout the day, this doesn't bother me though as I love touching up! My only issue is the packaging, it is very flimsy and cheap looking which is unusual for a No7 product! This isn't a problem to me as the lipstick itself is great quality! It is currently for sale in Boots for £5.

 
3)Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick In Shade Heather Shimmer -  This shade is absolutely beautiful. It is a pinky/plum colour with a hint of brown and is great to add a pop of colour to the face. It isn't really dark but it is dark enough to brighten the face. The formula is very creamy and feels lovely to apply to the lips. It is moisturising and hydrating to the lips. It claims to last up to 8 hours and I do agree with this claim. If you are looking for a lipstick that doesn't need reapplying that often then this range is perfect for you. It also doesn't dry out throughout the day and feels hydrating all day long which is brilliant! It also holds the colour well! When it does fade, it fades evenly so isn't noticeable. There are other shades available in this range. This is currently for sale at Superdrug for £4.99.
 
 

4) Barry M Lipstick In Shade Coral - This shade is just as described and is a beautiful coral colour. This is perfect for daytime or night time wear. It applies smoothly almost gliding on with no effort and feels very soft! It only takes one swipe to get an opaque colour. It contains natural moisturisers which keep your lips hydrated for hours! The wear time on this is quite long and I find I only have to reapply once or twice in the day. The finish is beautiful and very high shine! There are also other colours in this range which I have a couple of and they are consistent with the formula. This is for sale for £4.49 at Superdrug.
 

5) NYC Expert Last Lipstick In Shade Red Flame - I thought I best include a red lipstick in my 'Top 5', this is my favourite one that I have under £5 and I absolutely love it! It isn't the brightest red that I have in my collection as it applies quite sheer and has a slight pink tone to it. However, it is different to other reds I have due to the fact that it has a shimmery, metallic finish. I love how moisturising this is to the lips and how long it lasts. It currently retails in Superdrug for £1.99 which is an absolute steal for a product that is as good as this!

My Top 10 Speedy Beauty Tips

 
 
We've all been there, the alarm has gone off and you've repeatedly pressed the snooze button until your running so late you have to sacrifice makeup or breakfast. If you're anything like me, you won't think twice before you decide to skip breakfast. Now, I'm not saying these tips will solve all your problems but they sure might leave you 5 minutes to grab a bite to eat!  
 
 
My Top Ten Speedy Beauty Tips:
 
 
Tip 1 - Hate waiting for your newly painted nails to dry? After applying a top coat, wait 30 seconds before running a bowl of cold water and submerging your hands fully for 1 minute and hey presto, dry nails without the wait.
 
Tip 2 - Do you get a red shaving rash after shaving? One way to avoid this is to stand under the warm shower water for a good 5 minutes. This helps soften the hairs and makes them easier to shave away, meaning no nasty red rash. I also like to apply baby oil before I dry myself after a shower, the oil helps to lock in the moisture and leaves your skin silky smooth. Another good tip for shaving rash, especially under the arms or on the bikini line is to apply deodorant to the area as soon as you have shaved, it will stop the prickly bumps/rash from appearing.
 
Tip 3 - Need your lip colour to last all day long? Try applying foundation or concealer to the lips before applying your choice of lip product. It acts as a primer and gives the lip colour something to stick to.
 
Tip 4- Run out of nail polish remover? Place a clear top coat on the nail and remove with a cotton pad straight away. Make sure to do one nail at a time as it needs to be removed whilst wet.
 
Tip 5 - Can't find your hair serum or even worse you've run out? Don't panic! Use a pea sized amount of baby oil and smooth through the ends of your hair. Shiny silky hair in a flash.
 
Tip 6 - No time to wash your hair? Take some talcum powder or even loose face powder and swirl a brush round, tap the brush to get rid of excess and apply to the roots. This will soak up any grease and nobody will know you slept in,
 
Tip 7 - Just about to head out the door and you break your nail? Don't rip it off and think you have to spend time sorting your manicure out when your already half an hour late. Apply a small amount of super glue over the torn part, wait for it to dry and then buff with a nail file. If you have time then you can go over this with nail polish but if not it should hold until you have time to sort it fully.
 
Tip 8 - Have you woken up with brows that don't seem to want to behave? Take a clean toothbrush, spray hairspray onto the bristles and gentle brush your brows to tame them. The hair spray will keep them tamed all day long.
 
Tip 9 - Have you woken up to a fake tan disaster? Streaky legs and orange arms? Make an exfoliating paste by mixing baking soda with water and rubbing over the affected areas. This should gently start to remove the fake tan and leave you looking a little less Umpa Lumpa. If the baking soda alone isn't enough then you can apply the baking soda paste to half a lemon and rub over the skin.
 
Tip 10 - Looked in the mirror and your face resembles flaky pastry? If your foundation has gone cakey don't panic, use a clean damp sponge all over the face paying to smooth out the foundation, make sure you blend it all in and you're as good as new! 
 
 
What tricks do you use when your in a rush? Would you like to see more of this type of post?

MUA Eyeshadow Review

The MUA eyeshadows have to be some of the best shadows I have ever come across. I have a range of different shades in singles and palettes. I have picked out my two most used and clear favourite shadows from the range. These are shade 24 & shade 3. 
 
L to R - Shade 24, Shade 3
Shade 24 is a lovely pinky plum/rose gold shade and this looks great as just a wash of colour or can be built up with other colours to create a smoky eye.
 
Shade 3 is a silver shade and I never thought I would wear silver shadow but this looks great incorporated into a smoky eye with darker colours, it adds such a nice shimmer and sparkle to the eye. Both of them can be toned down to wear in the day or built up for going out at night.
 
Here are the swatches on the back of my hand. That is just swiping the finger across the shadow and then across my hand. (The flash has bounced off the shimmer slightly so its not that clear but there are swatches on the MUA website too)
 
 
 
 
 MUA can be bought in all Superdrug stores and online at the MUA Website. Their products are some of the cheapest on the market but they are such amazing quality! I would highly recommend that you take a look at their range.
 
The single eyeshadows cost £1 each and there are a total of 26 pearl shades & 5 matte shades in the £1 range. 
 
I've said before that I am not keen on the matte shades from this range as they don't seem as pigmented or seem to have the same formula as the pearl shadows, that still remains true but the good news is, I haven't come across one pearl shade that isn't fantastic!
 
They range from natural shades to bold shades and any look can easily be created. You can use one single shadow to sweep across the lid for a wash of colour or use a mix up of shades to create a bold & dramatic eye.
 
The shadows are easy to apply, easy to blend and easy to slowly build up to create the look you want. They are super pigmented and this translates onto the eye lid. You really can just swipe a shadow coated brush across the eye lid and achieve a perfect wash of colour.You can also use the shadows wet to create an even bolder look. 
 
One of the biggest pros of these shadows is that I have barely noticed any fallout, even with the darker colours. The finish is absolutely stunning, the shadows have just the right amount of shimmer, which means that the shadows can be worn day or night. I want to say that they are creamy, and by that I mean that they have the finish and apply as easy as a cream eyeshadow would. 
 
The staying power of these shadows is unbelievable for the price, they look exactly the same 12 hours later as they did when they were first applied, there is no smudging, the colour is still as intense and there is no creasing.. This is all without applying a primer first! £1 for an eyeshadow that does so much! 
 
You can take a look at the whole range HERE .
 
The great thing about the MUA website is that all the shadows have been swatched so you can get a good idea of the shade before buying! What more could you ask for, for £1!!
 
Have you tried any of these shadows? What do you think?

My Current Top 4 Drugstore Blushers

Hey Guys,
 
Today, I thought I would share with you my top 4 Drugstore Blushers that I am using at the moment. 
 
All of the Blushers vary in price but I think they are all great value for money and great all round Blushers. I have included an Elizabeth Arden Blusher which I would class as being Mid Range but it was bought from the Drugstore! They are in no particular order.

From L to R - L'Oreal Project Runway, Rimmel Lasting Finish, MUA Blusher, Elizabeth Arden Colour Intrigue.



1) L'Oreal Project Runway Super Blendable Blush In Shade Charming Cockatoo's Blush (425) - This Blusher is unfortunately limited edition and they have now stopped selling it in Drugstores. However... I have found it on Ebay, priced at £3.79 (Click HERE) It is also available in the USA on Ebay for $9.99 (HERE) - It is available in 3 other shade too which are also available on Ebay. This Blusher is a rich warm rosy shade with a slight hint of shimmer, it is a very 'natural' shade which looks beautiful on the apples of the cheeks. It does what all good Blushers should do and adds a natural 'blush' without making you look like you have tons of Blusher on! It is pigmented enough to transfer colour to the cheeks easily but it is not so pigmented that you have to be light handed. I am generally quite heavy handed when it comes to products like this so this is perfect for me. The colour can be built up and it is very easy to blend. The texture of the blush is quite powdery but I found that this didn't transfer to the cheeks. Overall, this is a brilliant product and I would highly recommend it!
 
 
 
2) Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush In Shade Santa Rose (010) - This is another 'natural' warm rose shade. This Blusher looks even more 'natural' on the cheeks as it doesn't contain as much shimmer as the L'Oreal. It is very soft in texture and easy to work with, it blends lovely on the cheeks and can be built up to the look you want to achieve. As with the L'Oreal, it is pigmented enough to get enough colour on the cheeks but you don't need to be careful applying. The finish is sheer yet flawless once applied to the cheeks and the wear time is amazing! Rimmel state that it is long lasting and smudge free, I agree totally! I can usually go all day without having to reapply this Blusher once (I have combination skin.) The only thing I am disappointed about with this product is the size of it! You don't seem to get an awful lot of Blush. It is only £3.99 though and it is great quality which I would personally rather have! Rimmel do other shades in this range which I am yet to try as I love this shade so much! This Blusher and the other shades can be found in most Drugstores, it is currently priced at £3.99 in Superdrug (Click HERE)
 
3) MUA Blusher In Shade 1 - I love this Blusher! I use this when I want to wear a light pinky bubble-gum shade rather than a natural looking rose. It is such a gorgeous pink and looks lovely on my fair skin. I would imagine that it would look great on any skin tone though. This Blusher is very highly pigmented so you do have to be a little bit careful when applying. The best thing about this Blusher is the price. It is only £1 on the MUA website - £1 is brilliant value for such a great blusher! It doesn't last as well as some of the other Blushers and it can be quite powdery when it is first applied. I have found that the powdery finish soon disappears after about 10 minutes of it being on the cheeks. And who cares... it is £1!!! Unfortunately, MUA @ Superdrug have now released 6 new blushers and stopped selling these exact ones - they have even given the new shades names! You can still get this Blusher from the MUA website HERE for £1 (you can also get all of the other old shades from the website too!). The closest match to the shade in MUA @ Superdrug is Bubble-gum and that can be found HERE, also for £1. The other shades in the new range can also be found at Superdrug! So if you fancy introducing a pop of colour to your face take a look at the MUA Blushers.
 
4) Elizabeth Arden Colour Intrigue In Shade Pink Glow (04) - Before I start telling you how wonderful this Blusher is I will just let you know that I can no longer find this exact shade anywhere on the internet! I originally bought mine from Boots for £24 - Although I cannot find this exact shade there is currently a choice of three shades available on the Fragrance Direct website for £4.50 - Nearly a £20 discount! (Click HERE) - Because I cannot find the shade I won't talk too much about it but I will just say that if you can get your hands on the shade Pink Glow then you will love it! It is quite different to the other Blushers that I have as it is a rosy shade yet it also has a pink tone to it. The formula of this Blusher is also amazing. It isn't powdery at all and once it is applied to your cheeks it will stay there for the whole day! As with the L'Oreal and Rimmel, it is pigmented enough to transfer the colour to your cheeks but not so heavily pigmented you end up looking like a Clown! It can be built up easily and it blends really well, it takes very little effort to blend into a natural looking 'blush' look. It also comes with a little brush and a mirror inside the compact which is great for taking out with you. The packaging also feels very hardwearing to me so you can put it in your handbag and not worry about your blusher crumbling into a 1000 tiny pieces! The shade Peach Sorbet would be my next choice as it looks like a lovely peachy/rose shade - that can be bought from Fragrance Direct for £4.50 HERE. I think £4.50 is an absolute steel for this Blusher!  
 
Let me know if you have found any of these Blushers cheaper or if you can find the EA in shade Pink Glow!
 
What are your favourite Drugstore Blushers? Do you share the same ones as me?

My Wishlist! :-)

Hey guys,
 
I think it is very important to have a wishlist each month! I especially love it when I buy an item from my wishlist and I get to tick it off :-) It gives me such a great feeling! I thought it was about time I shared my wishlist with you guys! Especially since it is my Birthday on the 21st of August so you never know, they might all be ticked off by the end of the month!
 
 
 1) YSL Glossy Stain (Shade 7) - I currently have one of the L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash but they don't have much of a colour selection! I absolutely love my Glam Shine Stain and if they had a bigger selection then I wouldn't think twice about getting another! YSL have so many colours to choose from and I must admit I do want to compare the two to see if they are any different (Mainly due to people saying they are a great dupe). After all, L'Oreal and YSL are part of the same group.
 
2) Soap & Glory Products - Butter Yourself, The Breakfast Scrub, Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser, Smooch Operator Lip Butter Balm - As you know from my previous review post I am absolutely mad for Soap & Glory products, if I could buy all of the products I would, but after spending ages looking at the Boots website I finally narrowed it down to a top 4! Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser is in my top 4, purely because I have nearly run out of my current cleanser. Same with The Breakfast Scrub, I have almost used all of my current Soap & Glory Scrub 'Em And Leave 'Em. Body Buff so I fancy trying a different scrub. The Smooch Operator Lip Butter Balm and The Butter Yourself are just products that I would really like to try! Let's hope someone buys me some S&G for my birthday!
 
3) Pixi Glow Tonic - I have recently heard skincare expert and blogger Caroline Hirons talk about this amazing product! It is completely hand made, hand packaged and contains only natural ingredients. It is oil free, alcohol free and very heavy in Aloe Vera, Ginseng and Witch Hazel. It works as a chemical exfoliant to clear away dead skin cells and also tones, firms and softens the skin. I have heard many good things about this product so I know I will purchase it in the near future, especially when my current toner runs out! Unfortunately, it is only available through mail order, by contacting 0207 287 7211 or emailing storemanager@pixibeauty.com
 
4) Revlon PhotoReady Primer & Shadow - I love getting new eye products all the time and this compact looks perfect! You get a primer, 3 shadows and a sparkle top coat. I love the idea that you can choose between whether you wear the shadows matte or shimmery! The colour selection that appeals to me is Metropolitan but the compact comes in 4 other colour selections. If the shadows are pigmented and easy to work with/blend then this compact will be great value for money!
 
5) Essie Summer Nail Polish Collection - There are 6 different colours in this collection, Full Steam Ahead, Rock The Boat, More The Merrier, Naughty Nautical, Girls Are Out & Sunday Funday. I would like all of the colours out of this collection but at £7.99 they are a bit expensive to buy them all in one go! IF I had to choose three shades to have then I would choose, Naughty Nautical which is a lovely turquoisy shade, Sunday Funday which is a gorgeous pinky red shade and More The Merrier which is a lime green type shade. I have a few Essie polishes and I love how they apply so they are great value for the price. All the colours in the collection are beautiful and I would class them all as being very wearable! They are perfect Summer colours and since I haven't bought a new nail polish in over 2 weeks I think I should purchase them some time soon!!
 
To check out the products, please click on the underlined product names!
 
There we go guys, my wishlist for this month. Hopefully with it being my Birthday very soon I will get some of these products and the ones I don't get I will definitely be purchasing soon!
 
Are any of these products on your wishlist? Have you tried any of these products already? Let me know your thoughts and comment below!

Soap & Glory Body Butter Review

Hi Guys,
 
Today I have two Soap & Glory products to talk about. First of all I have the Soap & Glory Righteous Body Butter 300ml and secondly I have the Soap & Glory Daily Smooth Body Butter 250ml.
 
I absolutely love all the Soap & Glory products and I especially love both of these body butters! I think they are great value for money and last for ages! And to make them even more appealing, Soap & Glory do not test on Animals!
 
 
 
The Righteous Body Butter contains Aloe Vera and Shea Butter to make your skin especially smooth and soft. The smell is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot describe what it smells of other than Bergamot ( The scent I would associate with Soap & Glory) I am addicted to anything that has Bergamot in it. Soap & Glory say that the scent contains aroma's of leafy greens, bergamot and mandarin, with a floral and fruity edge followed by soft, sexy, musk, oakmoss, amber and woody notes. The scent lingers for a very long time which is great! I love how this product applies to the skin and how little product you need. It rubs in so easily yet the formula is so thick, creamy and smooth to give you a perfect velvety finish. Soap & Glory compare it to wearing velvet! It advises on the back of the pot to use it on damp skin after showering but personally I use it any time of the day! I think they recommend to use it on damp skin because the formula is so thick. I particularly like using this product on my feet, elbows and knees as it seems to hydrate them instantly and the hydrated feeling lasts until you next shower! I tend to stick to using this on the dryer parts of my body and I use the Daily Smooth over the rest of my body. It can be used all over the body though, its just me being greedy again and wanting to use more than one product! You also get a massive 300ml of product! I have had this since Christmas and I am still yet to use the whole pot up! It retails for £10.50 which I think is exceptionally good value compared to other body butters on the market.

The Daily Smooth is one of my main staple products and something that I use on a daily basis. It contains the same scent as the 'Mist You Madly' body spray, another scent that I absolutely love! If you haven't smelt this before then I can only describe it as very floral and fragrant, once again it contains Bergamot. Maybe this is the reason I love all of the Soap & Glory products! I would also class the scent as very flirty! As I've mentioned before, Scent is one of the most important factors to me when I am buying beauty products! As stated above, the scent also lingers with this product! I don't think I have used a Soap & Glory product where the scent doesn't stick around for a very long time. This product is great at combating dry skin and leaving your whole body feeling hydrated, smooth and soft. It contains rosehip seed oil and cocoa butter so you know you are going to get great results! What is great about this product is that once you have massaged it all in to your body it doesn't leave a sticky wet residue behind so you can get dressed almost instantly and because you have to massage the product in to your skin, it gives you a great excuse to spend time massaging! Once again, you only need a tiny amount to moisturise your whole body as the formula is quite thick and creamy. This product is also great value, it retails for £9 and I have the current bottle for over 3 months now - using it everyday!
 
  
Top marks go to Soap & glory! Not just for these two products but for every product they have ever made! I have lots of products from them and they never fail to disappoint!

Another thing to note is that currently all the Soap & Glory range is on offer for 3 for 2 at Boots! To take a look at the current promotion, please click HERE.

 I know I will be going and buying more Soap & Glory soon! 
 
Let me know if you would like me to review more Soap & Glory products!

MUA - My Favourite Products From The Brand

Hi Guys,
 
Since I have been buying a lot of MUA products recently to try out (because they are so cheap!) I thought I would do a blog post on my favourite products from the MUA brand! I have done reviews on a few of these products already but this is a summary. I have linked all of the products so you can click on them to have a look :-)
 
 
 


1) Cover & Conceal Wand - This has to be one of my favourite MUA products at the moment. I use this on a daily basis to cover blemishes and dark circles under my eyes. I have the shade fair but it does also come it two other shades - natural & almond. The formula is very lightweight yet it covers any flaws completely whilst still looking natural! It is long lasting and doesn't crease whilst wearing. I would not be without this product! It is one of the best concealers I have ever used and at just £1.50 its a steal!
 
 
 
 
2) Matte Perfect Loose Translucent Powder (Click HERE for full review) - This is a good shine control loose powder! I don't use this on a daily basis but I do use it for the days where my skin is extra shiny. I have combination skin so day to day my skin varies. As long as you apply just the right amount and not too much then this product is brilliant! It does state that it keeps the shine away for the whole day but since I suffer with quite oily skin at times I found that I did have to reapply a few times throughout the day. It sets your foundation, eliminating any oil whilst still letting just enough of a dewy glow shine through. It is very finely milled which means that it disappears and absorbs all oil/shine so you can't tell you have a powder on. This costs £2.30 on the MUA website.
 
 
3) Trio Of Eyeshadows In Shade Innocence - This eye trio is amazing! The eyeshadows are super super pigmented, so easy to work with and easy to blend. You would not think that this eyeshadow was from a drugstore brand. The staying power is unbelievable! I don't have to wear an eye primer as it lasts all day without smudging or creasing. This trio has three neutral shades - Cream, light brown & dark brown meaning it is great for creating a neutral smoky eye! All from the same trio! These are the colours that I tend to wear on a daily basis and at the moment the trio is in the sale for £1.25 - that's £1.25 for 3.. yes 3 eyeshadows!! Even at full price this product is amazing value.
 
 
 
 
4) Fashionista Double Take Lipstick - I have this lipstick in shade 3 - Babydoll Pink. It is just as it sounds and is a baby pink colour. The colour makes me feel very happy when I look at it. The lipstick is very pigmented, creamy on application and very hydrating on the lips, however, the finish is matte! I didn't know this when I bought the product as I don't usually like matte lipsticks but this has changed my views completely. This is not drying to the lips at all! It still manages to feel hydrating and creamy whilst being completely matte! There are 10 shades in this range, so if baby pink isn't your thing there are others to choose. This has being hugely discounted on the MUA website. It was originally £7, then it was reduced to £3 and now it is only a mere £1.50! What a bargain!  
 
 
5) Lipstick (Full review can be found HERE ) - I have a variety of shades in this product range. My favourites are; Shade 5, Shade 7 & Shade 14. Altogether, they have 16 shades in this collection and I am sure by the end of the year I will have accumulated all 16. Once again, these lipsticks are super pigmented and I love applying it, It is so creamy and feels amazing on the lips! The smell of the product is very sweet and vanillary, it is quite a nice scent! They do stay on the lips for a decent amount of time, a lot longer than I expected them to. The finish is very glossy but the amount of product needed depends on the colour of the lipstick and the finish you want to achieve. You can pick these lipsticks up for £1 each. What an absolute bargain! (The picture shows Shade 5)
 
 
6) Single Pearl Eyeshadow - I have quite a few different shades in this range but my favourites are; Shade 3, Shade 14 & Shade 24. These shadows are super pigmented  and the colour payoff is amazing! They come in a large pan and I am yet to reach pan on any of the shadows I have even when I use them every day. Application is smooth and the shadows are very workable, they are very easy to blend and I haven't experienced any fall out whilst using them. All of the shades I have are exceptionally long lasting without any smudging or creasing, even when a primer isn't used. When wearing these, my shadow looks the same when I go to take my makeup off as when I applied it. I particularly like shade 24 and I quite often wear this in the day time. The beauty of these shadows is that they are perfect for either night or day, they can be built up to achieve the look you want. There is also a matte range but I don't like this as much as the pearl range as they aren't as pigmented and easy to work with. These shadows are £1 - perfect, if you like experimenting! (The picture shows Shade 14).
