Makeup and beauty favorites for February :)

OMG its the end of the month again feb always goes by so quick and this weekend is march which I cant believe. Its still so cold but at least its brighter out and the evenings are stretching I say roll on summer. Anyway enough of my rambling lets get to it!!

 The first product I am going to talk about is the loreal paris skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution. Mouthful or what ha :)

So omg I am in LOVE with this stuff its like magic in a bottle and the best part is the price tag a lot of the time its on offer in boots for 4 euro and its normally priced 6.99 so its very affordable. I use it to take off my makeup. I pour a bit on to a cotton pad and wipe off my makeup and it just takes the makeup of so well and I mean I wear full coverage makeup and always have a full face on. So basically it claims to dissolve makeup unclog pores removes impurities and tones and soothes. I defiantly think the above claims are all through it removes my makeup amazingly and leaves my pores unblocked and my face feels fresh and toned after using it. This is a stable in my skincare and I seriously dunno how I survived before without it. I recommend it 100 % and boots are on 3 for 2 at the moment so defiantly a time to buy it!!!

The next stable in my life the past month has been Tanya Burr lip glosses :)

So I am typically not a lip gloss person the stickiness and tackiness tends to annoy me so I stick to my lipsticks. But because Tanya burr is one of my fave makeup artist and you tubers I popped on the bandwagon and bought them and I have to say I have been converted to lip glosses. I love these they go on the lips so smooth and feel great and not sticky or tacky at all but very moisturizing  and the colour range is amazing. They are so pigmented as well so there is no need for a lipstick underneath and the price point is amazing. I bought mine of cloud 10 beauty and they are also available on feel unique.com. I will also have a more detailed blog post coming soon on Tanyas glosses and nail polishes so stay tuned for that :)

The next cult product the past month has been rimmel wake me up foundation. 

Now I have loved this foundation since its been out but now that were in spring and I am all excited for summer I have been using this non stop the past month for a lovely radiant look.

My last but not least fave product I have been using the past month         is the loreal miss manga mascara.

Now I have heard a lot about this on you-tube and from bloggers and its defiantly a mixed opinion people seem to either love it or hate it. I love it!! It has a lovely bristly wand instead of a plastic one which seems to be popular at the moment and its easy to apply and its not at all messy like others and I have not experienced any black fall out under the eyes as I have with others. It just leaves my lashes looking lovely and separated and it lengthens them lovely too. But what I would say is don't use to much as more then a few coats can make it look clumpy (unless you like that look) but other then that its my new fave drugstore mascara :) if you would like a more in dept review with pictures let me no and I will do an entire blog on this mascara alone because I love it :)

So that's it for my most used beauty and makeup items over feb I hope its useful for you and you find something you love if you try any of the above products.

The best part is most of them are available in boots and are really affordable and the 3for2 offer is still on in boots at the moment. The Tanya Burr lip glosses are so affordable too there only eight euros and fifty cent on cloud10beauty. So defiantly check out all the items I have mentioned because I cant live without them.

I hope this was helpful. Stay tuned for more exciting blog posts.

maybelline baby skin pore eraser :)

So today I am blogging about the maybelline pore eraser. Its basically a primer for the skin before you do your foundation. It claims it gives pore-less smooth skin and its lightweight and breathable. I have been testing this out for the past few weeks various ways and with different techniques and foundations and I have to say I'm not a big fan of it. I felt it didn't really do anything for my pores (not to say that it wouldn't for others) I felt they were still noticeable and it does claim to reduce them. Also I felt that it dried out my skin. I don't have terribly dry skin at all and I tend to have an oily t zone so that's were I tend to use primers but after a few weeks of using it my skin started peeling and drying out bad. Now I'm not using it my skins back to normal so it would of had to been that making it slightly dryer then usual. After a few uses when my skin started drying out and id use this and my foundation would patch in places because of the dryness but as I said now Its back to its old self using my cult faves for my skin (which I will go into detail on another blog post) But the one thing I have to say is it did make my foundation last that little bit longer which is a plus. 



This primer had a lot of hype around it as maybelline have done so well with the baby lips line and some people were comparing it to benefits porefessional primer. Its defiantly nothing like the porefessional primer from benefit but they were trying to do the same concept. The baby skin pore eraser has a more silicon feel to it something like the smashbox primers but not the same results as them as smashbox is one I like.




 I started off by placing it on my t zone and it went on pretty nice felt smooth and it didn't feel to heavy on the skin but my pores were still really noticeable as I said and my skin started drying out. Its only a few euro and worth a look at as boots have three for two on at the moment as this primer might really work for some and some might find it there cult product but I am not a fan but I don't hate it. This is just my opinion and I hope it was helpful.

stay tuned for more blog posts :)
