As a gal who loves a light, dewy finish I was surprised by how much I liked this foundation. When applied with a damp beauty blender this gives a lovely soft, matte glow with medium coverage. It's staying power is it's real superpower. Normally, foundation seems to disappear from around my t-zone by lunch time but this one lasted all day. Rimmel offer a great range of colour options for us pale gals too which is ideal. I will definitely be repurchasing.
I have recommended these lip paints to SO many friends. The colour pay off is amazing and they really do last. I recommend exfoliating your lips and popping on a bit of lip balm before applying as lip paints are notoriously drying. Harmony is my favourite, a lovely brown nude that works really well for day to day wear. I also love Hustle for night-time when I want a fierce berry red lip. These are available in Superdrug for less than €5 and I can promise you that you'll want to buy the lot!!
This was gifted to me at a Biofresh event last year and I love it. I'd say I use it most days. There are six colours to in this palette, two bronzer colours, two blush colours and two highlighters. The glow from these beauties is second to none. I just love Bellápierre products as they are so gentle on the skin and this is definitely one of my favourites!!
4. Catrice Glam and Doll False Lashes Mascara (available from Penneys)
I am a mascara snob. I know what I like and know what I hate! I despise 'toilet brush' style wands and always go for stiff, comb like ones. I bought this mascara on a whim on day in Penneys as my beloved Maxfactor False Lash Effect had run out. I actually forgot about it for a while but the other day I rediscovered just why I love it so much. The lift and curl this mascara gives is absolutely sensational. It separates each individual lash and is as black as coal. I cannot describe how happy this mascara makes me. The fact that it costs less than €10 isn't even the best part! I'd happily pay double!
I am OBSESSED with Huda beauty. Her instagram page is amazing and the makeup tutorials are out of this world. During Black Friday the makeupmonster posted a discount code for Cult Beauty and I couldn't resist! This palette is only a little one but my GOD the colours are stunning. Rich warm browns that blend like butter. I now want ALL the palettes.
I hope you enjoyed this post and make sure you enter my giveaway on instagram where you could win some Penneys goodies!
