November Favourites

Cara Delevingne

Oh my this month has seriously ran out the window... or should i  say THIS whole year has gone out the door!


Apart from the busy silly season approaching.During the lovely month of November i did do some purchases that i loved and as well hate.



When i find something i love, ill buy it over and over again because as you know in the cosmetic world if you find something you love stick to it! Until they decide to discontinue it.

Hourglass- Dim Light

Hourglass Dim Light

This powder is amazing.
The hourglass DIM LIGHT is unlike any other powder i have used, what it actually does it blurs out any imperfections on your face.Still leaving a slight glow look to it as well.
It also enhances your skin when flash photography is involved, evening out your skin tone 

Ive made this my go-to finishing powder because i love the flawless look it gives to my face 

The range is quite big i have yet to checked out the others but 9/10 kisses to this! Best of all its talc,gluten,fragrance and nano-particles free! 

Revlon christmas set 2013 brushes

These are the cutest, when i saw these cute revlon brushes i couldn't say no!

They're great value I've never had a problem with revlon brushes. They are still good quality for what you pay for especially if your starting out using make-up brushes!

Ysl baby doll mascara 

I really loved this mascara it would give my eyelashes a really full look as well no clumpy mascara bits on my eye lashes. Even appearance in lashes

Con: This mascara really dried up quickly! which was really annoying i started using the wand to dip in other mascaras

Im hesitant to buy it again because I'm unsure if it was just the batch or just me? 

Estee Lauder LIMTED EDITION make up portfolio!

This is absolutely fantastic book of make up is the best if your starting out with eyeshadows or on the run with work because you can just stick it in ur bag its A5 size 

You get 2 lip glosses, a few mini brushes for on the go, 4 blushes which two are bronzers great for contouring! 

15 lip sticks-

THIRITY EYE SHADOWS! wow so many different looks you can accomplish, all your   basic colours are in this pallet! 

Correcteur perfection Long lasting concealer

 Meet the concealer  of your dreams ladies...say goodbye to the fine lines that show up as deep lines!

THIS concealer  is amazing i know its a little pricey but its seriously worth it!

I use to wear one concealer (not mentioning any names) but it just went into every little crease under my eyes and some lines that didn't even exist without conceal appeared!

This is nothing like the rest its so smooth,silky and textured under the eye not emphasising any unwanted lines

The price is worth it it'll last for ages as long as you seal it up tight.When applying you only need the smallest amount on the back of your hand or just applying 3 dots under both eyes! 

Until next time..........

The essentials your only going to need what you have on your face during that day, so when packing your cosmetic bag think of what YOU need to use to touch up your face!

Think of the event as well, if your working then pack it as your basic cosmetic routine for work 

If its a night out, think what do i need to bring do i really need to bring all this make-up with me?
