Real Techniques Makeup Brushes

Hi Guys

If you haven't tried these brushes yet, why not? They are amazing brushes. There a brilliant drugstore makeup brush with a high end feel to them!
Makeup is so easily blended with these, it makes applying your makeup completely effortless. 
I don't know exactly how many different drugstores you can buy these in but I have found them in Boots, Superdrug and Asda.
I first bought the starter set which included 5 brushes in there own little holder which is very sleek. It includes the following brushes:
                                            Base shadow brush 
Deluxe crease brush
Accent brush
Fine liner brush
Brow brush
I then bought the core collection which again were in there own little holder and contained 4 brushes which were:
Detailer brush
Pointed foundation brush
Buffing brush
Contour brush
Since starting with these brushes and loving them I've since brought there version of the beauty blender sponge which they call the Miracle Complexion Sponge. I've never been sure on these sponges but now I've used it quite a bit I love it. Especially for buffing in concealer.
I also picked up the Powder brush, Blusher brush, Stippling brush and the Expert Face brush. 
All if the brushes including the sponge wash really well, and I've found they dry a lot quicker then some of my other brushes which is a bonus. 
If your new to makeup these would be the ideal first set of brushes to purchase. The singly sold brushes range from £8.99-£12.99, the sponge is £5.99 and the two sets are £21.99. (These are the prices in boots, other places will vary)
There are other brushes on the collection too which I haven't got yet but hopefully I will do in the future. :-)

NYX Lip Products

Hi Guys!

Hope your all enjoying another bank holiday weekend! 
I'm sitting in on this beautiful day wondering what to do. So as you do, I thought I'd give you a review on some of my NYX lip products I've been trying over the last month. And I have to say I'm loving them.
I got the NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick. Which is a lovely bright burnt orange colour. Perfect summer colour, and also a perfect pick me up colour. It's one of those colours that you can put on when you feel like you need a little pick me up! 
Here's me wearing it! As you can see it really can brighten up any outfit. I've never really had matte lipsticks before but after using this one I'm totally converted. It's super moisturising, has fab pigmentation and lasts for ages! And best bit is that there only £6.

The other lip products I've been LOVING are the Xtreme Lip Creams. They say that it's not a lipstick, or a gloss, it's a mix of the two. They have fab pigmentation, and again are really creamy and moisturising, and last really well. I've got two of them in the colours Candy Land and Natural. 


 These are priced at £7 each. And in my opinion worth every penny. I just love that you still get a gloss feeling, but colour that lasts.

Bye for now
