I ♥ Drugstore makeup tag.

Hi everyone so today i thought i would do the 'i heart makeup tag' tag hope you enjoy.

Questions

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand?


I would have to say L'oreal because their products are consistently pretty good and i do own a fair bit of their products.

2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products?


Face - Rimmel Stay matte face powder - I adore this product it is shamazing! It is very natural and controls shine for around 6 hours before needing a touchup on my very oily skin. My only qualm would be that it comes in such a limited range , i have the last colour in the range (006) and it is just right for me.

Cheeks – I love the Maybelline dream mousse blushes although now that I think about it I think they are discontinued, which is a shame as it is the only drugstore blush I have ever loved

Lip- I love the rimmel kate moss matte lipstick , I have them in shades 111 and 107 they are amazing and worth every penny if you ask me.

3. Least favorite product?


Ohh that's hard I would have to say rimmel eyeshadows , when i tried them there was absolutely NO colour payoff on the lighter shades only on the darkest shades. Also they faded within a hour - even with primer!

4. What is the best makeup bargain?


The best makeup bargain in my opinion would be the collection 2000 lip creme's just for the immense colour payoff, lasting power and the price which is a measley £2.99! A must buy if you ask me.

5. What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)


Probably the blistex lip balm as carmex has taken all the drugstore lipbalm thunder! It is just as good if not better.

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?

The revlon just bitten lip balm stains. They are great but for the amount of product it is just not worth £7.99 in my opinion.


7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!


My best dupe would be the collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer for the estee lauder double wear concealer.  It is on-par with double wear but if the shades were more varied and coverage a teeny bit better then i would be in concealer heaven!

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

The bourjois healthy mix foundation. Although i initially loved this i found within time the foundation got gloopy and started to oxidise on my skin. It may the cold air reacting with it or my oily skin rather than the foundation but i will not be buying this again regardless.

Ps **If you would like separate reviews on any of the above mentioned products please do not hesitate to ask in the comments section below J **

Pps - i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and i hope you have an amazing 2013 !

Hair Wishlist

I have been recently trying to take care of my hair more and more so these are a list of products that i hope to purchase in the near future.

I want the Lee Stafford hair growth conditioner (£7.99) as even though my hair is quite long i want it to be longer without it breaking, me going to the hairdressers then having to start from square one.
I have heard that the tangle teezer is a godsend for some and with my thick, tangly and breakage prone hair i hope it works for me too.(£10.99)
I would like the charles worthington time defying mousse as i have heard that it gives volume without it look unnatural (hello-Towie!!!)(£5.49)

I'm guest blogging !!! :)

Model's own - ibiza mix

For the most part i don't like to put glitter on my nails as i have home ec which means i have to cook.  But now and then i just can't resist putting a little sparkle into my life.

 Application wise this was easy to work with and dried fairly quickly so that was great
Truth be told that i have never had as many compliments about my nails as i did with ibiza mix - it was so lovely that people actually notice my nails!
This nail polish was infuriatingly difficult to get a hold off (it took 5 months) but i got it in the end thankfully.

this nail polish is packed with multicoloured glitter in different sizes of glitter in a clear base.

I think this looks best over a simple base colour - i'm using rimmel's beige babe.

As it is only £5 i feel that if you happen to stumble across this colour then you should snap it up!!
