Five favourites || Spring lipsticks

In spring it is time to go bold. And bright. These lipsticks are sure to create a statement however there are a few, 'my lips but better' colours as well. Hope you're having a nice day!

Probably my favourite of the lot, Charmed by topshop is a gorgeous peachy coral, sure to brighten up any outfit.

Rio Rio by topshop has had a fair bit of use from me, I absolutely love it!

Mac's Fleshpot is a satin finish and is an easy nude to pull off for fairer skin tones.

Natural Collection's products are only £1.99, so this moisture shine lipstick in Rose Petal is an absolute bargain.

Finally, from MUA's £1 lipstick collection . . . Shade 7. Could they not think of a better name. I know that it's very cheap but I always feel sad for an unnamed lipstick. Apart from that, though, the quality of this is far beyond the price and I would highly recommend picking one up.

Review || Soap and glory Arch De Triumph eyebrow pencil

Creating the perfect brow can completely change the way your face looks. Soap and glory's, 'Arch De Triumph' is the latest brow crayon that I have been trying out. Here's what I thought...

The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, which is to be expected of S&G.

The pencil lids don't fall off in my makeup bag and the packaging is very sturdy.
Most brow pencils tend to look like your eyebrow has been drawn in and very fake, however the taupe coloured pencil is very natural looking . Although I feel that the pencil needs warming up before use to create any pigmentation, which can be quite frustrating. The highlighter is very pigmented and creamy and doesn't emphasise any pores.
Overall I really enjoy using this pencil but would try it before buying, due the £8 price tag, how hard the pencil is to apply and the little variation in colour.

If you do feel like giving this crayon a go you can buy it from here.
 
Have a nice day!

Topshop makeup review || Highlighter in sunbeam

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Today's post is a review of the Topshop Highlighter in Sunbeam (if you hadn't already guessed by the title)!

Can we have some love for this packaging please?
 

That's right people, your eyes are not deceiving you, there really is  6 . 5 grams of product.

Did I mention that it was shimmery?

If you're tired of silvery, pearly highlighters then this sun-kissed, golden toned beauty from topshop may just be the one that you're looking for! The shimmer, when blended well, is just right for a glowy (not sweaty) makeup look. Priced at £10 I think that this is a bargain especially compared to higher end brands. In English drugstores, I definitely think there is some much needed attention to go towards powder highlighters and topshop stepped in just in time. Overall I think that this is definitely worth the money and would recommend this to any friend!
Available to buy here.

Until next time

In the beginning...

For a while now I have been reading beauty blogs, so I have decided to make one of my own. So what is to be expected of this blog? I hear you ask. Well, a lot of the products I buy are from high street stores and as someone saving for the future (whatever that may hold), I often find it hard to justify spending a lot of money on a small purchase. However, a bit of retail therapy every once in a while (or quite regularly) never hurt anybody.... I hope you enjoy reading this blog and that it fulfils your budget beauty needs.
