5 Product Face: Spring Edition

We all have them days when we are running  late or we just can't be bothered  to do makeup but still want to look presentable. Here are five quick products to use on the go!

This Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer is great! It has great full coverage and you can get away with this with no other face makeup at all, its also very easy to blend in! No matter what I always need to powder, the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is my holy grail, it sets my makeup all day and despite the name it still shows the glow of other products through.

Now I have quite full eye brows, but if yours aren't and you feel the need to, then fill them babies in, I would recommend a tinted brow mascara. The Soap & Glory double sided eye shadow pencil is great as they blend very easily and don't budge after you have finished working with the product. I like  to put the lighter colour in my inner corner to make me look more awake. And sometimes if I have extra time I run the brown along my lash line, for my lashes to appear fuller and thicker. Mascara for me is vital, I love having definition in my lashes and volume, it makes me appear more awake and presentable. I always feel no matter how much makeup you are wearing a lip colour always makes you look like you have put more effort in when you haven't. I am really enjoying the Collection Cream Puff lip cremes. The colours compliment my skin tone and they are very affordable.

I hope you now know quick and easy products to use for effortless (but looks like you have put the effort in) makeup, obviously these don't apply to everyone and you can take out and include what you like, this is just what I use when I am in a rush. Much love,  Rose x

Mini Collective Beauty Haul April 2015


Hey everyone! This is just a little special mini blog post, because I had collected a few makeup bits over the past few weeks and thought I would show you so lets get started, also tell me if any of you have tried any of these bits in the comments! Everything you can get from boots!

First I picked up another Simple moisturiser, in the Autumn and Winter months I was using the rich moisturiser and I thought I should switch it up with a lighter one as I don't need such moisture in Spring and Summer. This retails at £4.50, Simple is my favorite place  for skin care!

Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer
Next is the Simple moisturizing facial wash, I ran out of  this so I had to get another one, it' my favorite by far! This retails at £3.49.
Simple Kind To Skin Moisturizing Facial Wash
Lastly for Simple I got the toner, which I already have but it was on a deal so I thought I'd pick up another as I love it so much. This retails at £3.29.
Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner
I got this from Superdrug as Tanya Burr cosmetics aren't sold in Boots unfortunately, I love this lip gloss so much, these retail at £6.99
Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lip Gloss 'Afternoon Tea'
I had this eye liner last Summer and I hadn't picked it up in ages, but this is one of my favorite liquid liners, defiantly brilliant if you struggle with eyeliner, this retails at £5.99
Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner
 I hadn't tried this eye brow mascara before, but I decided to pick it up after loving the Maybelline master drama brow gel, for some reason I don't get on well with this brow mascara, I feel like its quite wet and doesn't set your brows all day it just tints them which leads me on the the size of  the brush is very big and doesn't fit my eye brow so it makes them look big and dark. Me my self I would not recommend this, but if you love it tell me why in the comments! This retails at £3.99
Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Gel
Next is a foundation again I hadn't tried, but I heard so many good reviews about it and it is a dupe for the Nars Sheer Glow foundation, so I was eager to try it. I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know what I think in a future blog post. This retails at £6.99
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation
Okay as it is Spring now I need a primer, again I haven't tried this yet so will have to let you know what I think, but I did opt for the Maybelline Baby Skin, but I wanted to try something new as I had already tried that, this retails at £6.99.
Rimme Lasting Finish Primer
 I apologize for this photo, its such bad quality! But I adore this concealer I had it a couple months back and used it all up and completely forgot how much I loved it when I saw it in a video on YouTube, this is by far my favorite I will do a review on it very soon! £7.99.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer
Thats it for today everyone, sorry about the quality of these photos, but this was just a middle week blog post, I hope you enjoy don't forget to leave a comment and share with your friends! Bye loves x

My Top 5 Lipbalms

Hi everyone! Sorry for being a bit late for the blog,post and doing another 'Top 5' I swear next weeks blog post will be more um 'exciting' haha. Anyway I am a massive lover for lip balms so I thought I should let you know my favorites if you are looking for some good lip,balms. Lets get started.

I'm starting with a product from the body shop that is quite well known by a lot of people, The Born Lippys, I have the strawberry flavor, I mainly love these simply because the taste and smell is soo good and also adds a lovely, gloss, red tint to your lips whilst being hydrating. This retails at around £2-£3 I can't remember which one.

Next up is the Burts Bees replenishing lip balm, I recently just used up the mango one I cant remember the name but I really enjoyed that one, so I decided to get another one. Again these are really hydrating and leaves my lips nice and soft. The only thing I don't like about the pomegranate one is that fact it tastes of plants, it's odd but you get used to it these retail at £3.50, quite pricey but worth it.
Now I have Carmex, very simple and use by a lot of varieties of people. If you suffer with sore lips this will do the trick as soon as you apply it tingles on your lips and you can feel it working. This doesn't really taste of anything which is good. This retails at £2.69.



THESE ARE MY FAVORITE! Haha, I am totally in love with the Nivea Lip Butters, they come in a variate of flavors and scents, and the moisture stays on for a really long time, and they are just very pleasant to have on your lips and apply. These retail at £1.50 so very affordable and are perfect!
Now I show you the (Malin+Goetz) lips moisturizers, I have seen reviews on these, a lot of people don't like them but a lot of people do, so it is very mixed opinion but in my opinion I really like these, the original does not have a flavour or smell, but they just really norish your lips, they are quite heavy so I prefer to use these at night and wake up with the softest lips ever! These are quite expensive at £10, but this brand is so lovely and their products always work nicely on me.

Okay so that wraps up everything for today, I will talk to you all next week! Question of the week, what is your favorite lip balms?

My Top Five Drugstore Products


Hello everyone today I am going to be going through my personal five favorite things from the drugstore, maybe you are reading this and you are stuck of what to get and what is good, or maybe you are just reading in curiosity. All these products are all under £10 which is great! Anyway I hope you enjoy and this helps you in some way, enjoy!

 I will just start by saying that these aren't in ranking order. So first I have Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation this is one of my favorite foundation. This foundation is medium coverage, so it covers blemishes, but still gives you a beautiful natural, glow to your skin, whilst still looking like skin, brilliant for school or work. It states it lasts for 25 hours which I don't personally think is true, because who wear their face makeup over night? But this does have an incredible staying power, and once I get back from a day out I can still see a flawless, natural, glowing finish. This foundation retails at £6.99


  You have probably all heard about the Sleek Contour Kit as it is incredible. I don't think it has the best staying power on me, prehaps I need to use a primer, I don't know but despite that it has a really pigmented contour which is completely matte, so brilliant for creating shadows on the cheek bone and also is accompanied by a darling highlight, this highlight makes my skin look so healthy and radiant. This retails at £6.49.
 This is an old favorite, I have been using this liquid liner for two years and nothing can compare although L'Oreal Super liner is a close tie. This is the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Felt Pen. I love this because the nib is incredibly tiny (0.4mm!), so makes being accurate an easy job. This lasts all day with an intense black look and does not smudge, although if you have watery eyes you may experience this. This retails at £5.99.
If you are a fan of Zoella, like myself, you will obviously heard of this gorgeous lipstick, Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in the famous shade 107, obviously they have much more shades but this is in no doubt my fave! These lipsticks leave your lips feeling so moisturized, yet you can feel it will last. If you are not eating or drinking, then you wont have to re-apply but of course if you are you may need to touch up after eating or drinking! I love how pigmented these lipsticks are and how creamy they feel and the easy application of them. These retail at £5.49.
Lastly I have again another classic, Maybelline New York Rocket Volum' Express. This is my holy grail mascara and goes perfectly over the top of Maybelline New York Mega Plush Mascara, they create the perfect combo, but this on it's own is just as fab. I only need a few coats and I have voluminous, non clumpy and long lashes. I would defiantly recommend to get this!


So that is the end of  this blog post, don't forgot to comment and share my blog with your friends! Give me some good ideas of blog posts you would like to see next time, bye for now! x x x
