Ever since I started this blog, my makeup collection has grown rapidly. Most of it is highstreet/drugstore makeup, but over the past year I have been spending my money on more expensive items. One brand I have been spending most of my money/receiving as presents, is Urban Decay. I mainly have eyeshadow palettes from the brand, but recently I purchased a blusher/bronzer/highlighter palette.

Today, I am reviewing the Romantic Efflorescence palette from Makeup Acadamy (MUA). It's a plum and metallic based palette, that costs only £4! It contains twelve shades and a dual-ended sponge applicator, that I throw away as soon as I can. The shades are a mixture of mattes and shimmers, which is perfect for creating a smokey eye.

So today I thought that I would show you what is currently in my makeup bag and the look I keep wearing using those products.
Enjoy!

Hey! I'm back! I know it has been two months since I last posted, but I have needed to take a break. However, I will be talking about that tomorrow on Tag/Tell-all Tuesday, so come back then.

To get back into the swing of things, I thought that a look through my current go-to lip products would be a great start. Autumn/winter, for me, means dark and berry tones. This time of year is amazing for lip products, and I always want to make my lips stand out, rather than my eye makeup, during the A/W days. 
So here are the five lip products I can't stop wearing this A/W.

Today's post is a little different from a normal FOTD. I have tried to see if I could limit the amount of makeup I use, and see how I could make a look go from day to night. Also, this shows how most products can be used for multiply things, not just for what it says it is for.
I feel that these looks are perfect for busy people, who don't have time to apply tons of makeup in the morning. Also, they are both quite natural looks, which works with many skin tones and would be perfect for school.

P.S. I am sorry for the change in lighting and quality of photographs. The Sun kept going in and out, then I had to change from my camera to my phone.

I am a self-confessed mascara addict! Mascara is my favourite makeup product and I couldn't live without it. It is something I wear everyday, even if I am not doing anything. It just instantly makes you look awake and draws your attention to your eyes, away from any face demons!
Because of my love for mascara and wanting to try as many tubes as possible, I seem to have a collection of mascaras that may seem a little ridiculous as I only have one set of eyes! Obviously, there are people out there with more mascaras than this and, more than likely, a lot less mascaras than this. But, I seem to wear all of these mascaras as I like to rotate them. Some get used more than others, but I really like my current collection of mascaras.

Back in May, I reviewed a bunch of Primark Makeup and here I am, doing it again! Last time, I reviewed 5 items but I have only added these two products to my Primark makeup collection. The first product is a red matte lipstick, which I have used in a FOTD recently, and a brow pencil, which was also used in that FOTD.

This week is something I have been thinking about doing for quite a while.
#BREASTWEEK is all about breasts/boobs/tits, whatever you like to call them. (Personally, I have names for my 'girls'!) All girls (and boys) have them and we have to take care of our lady lumps.

Whether you have small, medium or large boobs, I hope this week is helpful for you all.
I am going to cover different breast related topics this week, from making sure you get measured for bras to the history of a famous lingerie designer. Come back everyday this week to see what I am talking about for #BREASTWEEK.

Firstly, I am so sorry for not posting on Thursday & Friday last week. I have been busy packing and starting to move into my new University house. Now that I am in 2nd year, I am moving into a house with two of my previous flatmates. So, the past few days has consisted of packing & moving, even though I am not officially moving in yet.
Now that apology is out of the way, lets get on with today's post. 
For this weeks Beauty Monday, I am doing a FOTD, as I am in love with my makeup today!

To kick off this weeks posts, I thought that I would share with you my new haircut and colour. I have been through so many different hair cuts & colours since I was 12 (now 20!), and I still manage to have something new done. I have dyed my hair these pink and purple colours before but just in a different way. 
If you guys would love to see my 'hair evolution' from when I started to have it done professionally, then leave a comment below!

To start off this weeks posts, I thought that I would review this mineral mask that I have been trying out for the past few weeks. It is from AVON and costs £5.00 (sometimes on offer for £2.50).

I'm back!!! Sorry, that I have been away for a week & a bit, but I had some other important things to do and I didn't have time to schedule posts. However, I am back with a video post and a facebook page! Go like my facebook page as I will be linking my blog posts to it.

Anyway, today's post is a Summer makeup look that I keep applying all the time. 
It is a no-foundation, purple eyes and nude lips; a perfect, light summer look.

Today, I am showing you how I get myself summer ready. This whole routine is something I do every Sunday in the summer, as I couldn't do everything in the video everyday. It would take me hours to get ready everyday! 
This GRWM doesn't include a summer make up look or any summer fashion, as next Monday, I will be posting a summer make up look and the Friday after that, I will be posting a summer lookbook.

So enjoy this video of how I get my body, skin and hair ready for summer.
FYI, I am as pale as Casper the Friendly Ghost and I like it that way, so no fake tan for me!

 For today's Beauty Monday post, I thought that I would do a FOTD (face of the day), as I really liked the make up I wore today. I was going shopping and for lunch with my friend, plus it was really hot today, so I wanted an easy, light make up look. 
So I went with a simple eye and bold lip.

Today's post in all about my current top five nail polishes for summer. Now, these are from my own collection and are the top 5 polishes I am currently reaching for. I always like the idea of painting my nails but doing such a 'hands on' university course, I can't really paint my finger nails during term time. So when summer comes around, I fall back in love with painting my nails. Well, I say my nails but I wear fake nails as mine don't really grow anymore. Too many years of biting my nails have led them to not grow very fast. 
Right now, I am letting my finger nails have a rest from polish (and fake nails) but I have the blue shade in my top 5, on my toes.

Over the past few years, I have tried so many different products to keep my skin at its best. About a year and 1/2 ago, I did have a perfect routine for my combination skin. However, I am coming out of my teenage years now and my skin type has changed to dry with slight oily patches on occasion, which is less oil than before. So, I had to work out a new routine to work with my skin, which will help to keep it hydrated. 
I feel like I have a good routine at the moment but I am always willing to try new things! There are a few golden products in my routine, but if you have any recommendation for dry skin, then leave a comment. 
I have been using this routine for a good 2/3 months now (apart from 1), so I can give you a honest review of these products.

Today's Beauty Monday post is my May favourites. These are the beauty, fashion and random things I have been loving throughout the month of May. 
So let's get started!

Beauty


My first beauty favourite is the Vitamin E Overnight serum-in-oil from The Body Shop. This product has been a lifesaver for my skin! I suffer from dry skin which can be a hassle when applying make up. But this product helps to deeply moisturise my skin overnight, so that my face isn't flakey in the morning, when applying my foundation etc. I totally can't live without this product now and I always regret it when I forget to apply it. That's how I know this product works. When I don't use it, I have flakey skin in the morning. When I do use it, my skin is wonderfully moisturised.

Primark make up. The one question on everyones lips, is it any good? Yes. Yes, it is. In my local store, they have quite a selection but I thought that I would only test a few items and then giveaway a few products to a lucky reader. The price range is mainly £1, with a few exceptions for eyeshadow palettes. 


I decided to pick up the Volumising mascara, the black felt eye liner pen, a bright pink lipstick, a mint green nail polish and a matte top coat polish.
