drug store favourites





Everyone loves to splash out on high end beauty products now and then . However In reality everyone loves a good bargain when  it comes to makeup, and pretty much everything . In my eyes if the product works there is no shame in it being drugstore ,in fact tell the world about it because I would much prefer to spend £6 on a concealer from Rimmel than a £25 one from a high-end brand and them do the exact same thing ,or the drug store maybe even better . Its lovely to have them high end brands to feel flashy and luxurious but the excitements real when you go  down to boots on a cheeky 3 for 2 and come out with a bag full of new products to try for £50 . and I know  not all the time the drug store is the best but when you find them certain products that are worth the hype its the best .This is why this is my first blog post because I want to share my personal favourites with you .exclaimer !!!these products aren't  the newest this  is why the packaging is abit grubby, but I  can reassure you most of these products  I have brought multiple times .
 These products are not in a particular order .


1.Rimmel 25hr lasting finish foundation £7.99 -http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Lasting-Finish-25hour-Foundation-with-comfort-serum_1150829/

The product description of this foundation claims to give you a smooth lightweight coverage that leaves your skin feeling hydrated all day .I agree with all the claims other than the "lightweight coverage" because personally I feel compared to some of the other  Rimmel foundations I have tried it  has a heavier coverage but this isn't  a bad thing at all , I love this foundation it leaves my skin looking air brushed and gives  a healthy glow that lasts all day.One con to this foundation is that it dosent have a wide colour selection so some skin tones may struggle.




2. Soap and glory archery brow tint and pencil £10-http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory™-Archery™-Brow-Tint-And-Pencil_1279313/


me as a person  I am incredibly picky when it coms to eyebrow products
when I'm not using my mac eyebrow gel or abh dip brow i'm using this .
when I want to go for a more natural brow look I will pick this out of my makeup bag .Its a two sides eyebrow product with a normal pencil on one side which I love because of the small nib this is  great for presition and filling in naturally sparse brows. On the other end is a felt tip tint which is much better at creating structured brows . Personally I like to outline in the felt tip and fill with the pencil . this product is much better for people with darker hair because it only comes in three shades ,all of which are pretty dark.




3-Nyx  liquid suede cream lipstick £5.99 -http://www.boots.com/en/NYX-Professional-Makeup-Liquid-Suede-Cream-Lipstick_1771344/


When I initially i purchased this lip product and  thought it was a liquid .For those who don't know they are liquefied lipstick that dry's matte on the lips .stereotypically thinking it was going to be a liquid lipstick I thought it  was going to be very  dry and uncomfortable, however to a lovely surprise it applied creamy and sat on my lips like velvet .There are so many different types of colour to choose from and they last on the lips for a good 5 hours or so I usually reapply after a meal . The packaging is sleek and professional and for the price they are amazing. I will be purchasing more of these . i'm pretty sure the one I have (pictured above) is in the shade Brooklyn thorn.




4. collection lasting perfection concealer £3.99 -http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_1693350/

If you watch zoella or other beauty gurus on YouTube you most likely know about this gem of a concealer .It is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! It covers blemishes and spots like a dream as with dark under eye circles. For the  price you  cannot go wrong .One down side of this concealer is that the packaging scratches of Easily  making it look grubby however other than that you cant really fault it .

thankyou for reading some of my drugstore must haves comment if your reading and tell me your favourite drug store products  because i would love to know !

introducing my blog

Me:*takes deep breath and hesitantly starts typing
hello! I'm not sure whether anyone is even reading this blog post right now ,but if you are hi and welcome. You can probably tell this is my first . First time writing and creating a blog .First time stepping out of my comfort zone. This might be your first time reading and blog, and if so I apologise its this one .you may be confused to why my name hasn't been mentioned yet well ... I'm taking baby steps ,at this moment in time my name isn't important .Think of me as a anonymous cyber friend that's hear to chat and tell you all about beauty and makeup . Moving on to why I'm doing this   . basically I'm  addicted to all things makeup (if you couldn't guess by the title name already) and if you have stumbled upon this little blog about makeup you most likely have common interests about makeup and all things beauty . So this is all very new too me and honestly I don't really know if im approaching this in the right way or even doing this right, but its my passion  and I really want to connect with people e who have similar likes to  me .I'm probably boring you half to death ,but in  my eyes this first blog post introducing myself to you isn't half as bad as I expected . have an amazing Sunday whatever you up too and see you in my first official blog post whenever that may be
Ciao
