I ♥ Drugstore Makeup Tag!

 Drugstore Makeup Tag!

So today something a bit different, a makeup tag! Hope you enjoy!

1. What is your favourite drugstore makeup brand overall?
It would definitely have to be Rimmel London as they literally have such a good range of everything like mascaras (scandal eyes) and amazing lip products.


2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?
Ooh, face would be Rimmel London Wake Me Up foundation and concealer but unfortunately now my skin has got lighter I can't wear the foundation now but when I did I LOVED it. Cheek would be the Sleek Contour Kit and Lip products would definitely be the Revlon lip butters as they are so moisturising and amazingly pigmented!


3. Least favourite product?
DEFINITELY the Maybelline Color Sensational the Pop Sticks in Citrus Slice as it has no colour and is totally NOT moisturising at all! OR Bourjois Smokey eyes in Rose Vintage as it is so dusty and so un-pigmented!



4. What is the best makeup bargain?
Sleek Palettes! Highly recommend these as they are so inexpensive and amazingly pigmented!


5. What is your favourite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)
Number 7 Products - such high quality makeup and always under looked


6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?
Max Factor 3 in 1 foundation, so expensive for £11.99 and NOT worth it

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!
One in the Storm Palette - similar to Mac Wood winked



8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
I'm sorry to say it but Rimmel Retro Glam Mascara. Defo not worth the hype :(

Maybelline The Falsies



Maybelline The Falsies

I haven't posted for ages, sorry about that! I am currently writing whilst watching my favourite show at the moment called Ugly Betty which you can find here. So todays review is on Maybelline's The Falsies!




WOW! This mascara is absolutely AMAZING! I have to admit that I was sceptical at first but once I tried I fell in love with it! It is super voluminous which I love in a mascara and has a brush applicator which is so gentle on the eyes. This mascara is so inexpensive, which makes it so great. I will continue to keep on buying this mascara as I LOVE it!

Hope you enjoyed!

L'OREAL Collection Privee by Cheryl Cole and Eva Longoria

First of all can I just say how much I look up to these two beautiful women. Unlike a lot of people I absolutely LOVE her and her music, and for Eva I think she is so gorgeous and I loved her in Desperate Housewives! So when I saw that these had come out I was so excited! I absolutely adore the way they're all nudes, so these can be worn day to day and the fact that

this is going to be such a beautiful winter look. I love the packaging, completely black  with the signature L'OREAL logo on the top. These look phenomenal! They are highly pigmented and give a gorgeous moisturising finish! For £8.19 each these are beautiful, and expensive for high street lipsticks. I super super love these and they are so worth the price! If you love nudes and love L'OREAL go and put these in your boots bag! I would so recommend these! TEN OUT OF TEN! Thank you for reading!


Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Well first off one thing that annoys me about this concealer is that it is way way way lighter than the foundation! But if I am honest I wish they would make the foundations in lighter shades:( But anyway I use this concealer everyday and I absolutely LOVE IT! It really has a 'wake up' effect under the eyes and on blemishes. It is so inexpensive which is great for high street brands and I do really just love it. It seriously does do what it says on the tube - WAKES YOU UP! This is amazing I really do recommend this! Go buy it here, hope you enjoyed:D

Essie nail lacquer in 'play date'


Review on: Essie nail lacquer in 'play date' 

Out of all the colours from Essie that I could have chosen from, I chose the most BORING purple there is. First of I must say that I love the big brushes that come with these nail varnishes as they make it so much easier to apply it. If anything I do love these nail varnishes, this colour is so boring and not a good colour to get! This nail varnish lasts really well, and they have such an amazing range of colours to choose from. The price is quite expensive but they are good quality!

Overall view: Worst colour to choose, but are amazing quality!
Recommend or not: Recommend

Thank you for reading!

Benefit they're real mascara


Review on: Benefit they're real mascara

I absolutely LOVE this mascara! Being 'Benefit' the price comes to £19.50, which is a big price compared to drugstore mascaras. This mascara definitely volumises my lashes, but also makes them sticky so i can not curl mu eyelashes after, until a long wait. This is a lovely product to use! The brush is long and thin, with lots of tiny bristles along it and a big circular wand at the end which makes it a lot easier to get the end lashes. This is an expensive mascara but I would say it is definitely worth saving up for!

Overall view: Amazing mascara, if you feel like spoiling yourself try it out!
Recommend or not: Recommend!

Max Factor Face Finity Foundation


Review on: Max Factor Face Finity Foundation

I had very high hopes for this foundation, and when I tried it I found that it was okay. The bottle states that it is a 'Primer, Concealer and Foundation in One' but if I am honest it doesn't work as a primer or concealer. This has good coverage, and is quite a heavy coverage. This product doesn't have a very nice fragrance, which is a real downer for me. This does have SPF 20 which is useful to protect your skin from the sun. The price comes in at £11.99 which is quite expensive for a drugstore foundation, and I would say that it is not worth that price, as it is just a good, average foundation.

Overall view: An average, normal foundation which is okay, but is not worth £11.99.
Recommend or not: Not, find another one for a better price like the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation.
