The Comeback Queen?


Good Morning,

How have we all been? Where have you been and what have you been up to? (Who am I talking to?) :P 

I *believe* this is my comeback. I have some favourites for you and a little update at the end. 



It's still warm or should I say humid here in the UK so I am still baring with the minimal makeup look. 
  • Makeup Geek eyeshadows are EVERYTHING. Pigmented, easy to blend and affordable.
  • Illamasqua 'Lover' blush is a gorge matte peach and suits fair skin so well. I love it.
  • Becca 'Champagne Pop' is too dark on me in the Winter so she's been my bitch this Summer.
  • MAC Burgundy x9 is warm toned and one for the year around. Gorgeous shades with 2 duds though.
  • Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 'Light' is creamy, light and doesn't crease on my tired under eyes. WOOHOO. Also, it's from the high street so cheap.
  • NYX Tame and Frame in 'Espresso' is a great eyebrow product but just a little too warm. Keep the brows good even in rain.
  • Wet N Wild 'Brulee' eyeshadow is the best base over your lid primer. Cheap as chips too.
  • MAC 'Lightscapade' MSF is gorgeous and COOL TONED. My red toned fair skin is pleased.
  • Beneft 'Hoola' is the perfect neutral blush for contouring. Hate to admit I like a Benefit product.


 I hate trying to narrow down lip products for fave posts because I always have about 15 to mention. Typical girl. These have been my absolute go to lip products.

  • Sephora cream lip stain in 01 is gorgeous. Matte, not flat, cool toned and pigmented as hell. Not drying either. My lips feel comfy with this and I never get butthole lips.
  • Wet N Wild 'See If I Carrot' is a gorgeous orange, sheer balm. It's got colour but it's not too bright and it's comfy.
  • Kat von D 'Lolita' and 'Bow N Arrow' just rule my life. Lolita is a warm rosy medium brown that looks gorgeous on fair skin. Bow N Arrow is a beige brown and I love it. Perfect everyday nude shade. These are a little drying but not uncomfy and last so long on the lips.
  • Rimmel Provocalips 'Little Minx' is a love/hate product for me but I think I've finally mastered how to use the clear set side now (only took a yr). This is a bright hot pink that pulls cooler in tone on me. These last ALL day, through everything, which is great but they are tough to remove. They don't dry matte, more glossy but very pretty. Anything long wearing like this needs something oil based to remove.
Favourite products posts are always hard to write because what works for you, might not for others. Always remember that. I will include foundations soon as I am testing out a few new ones and old treasures. My skin has changed with all the running I'm doing lately.

I am going to strip the blog back to basics and get it redesigned very soon. I will post 2/3 times per week. So stay tuned. I left blogging for this long because of online bullies but they won't stop me this time.

Let me know what you've been enjoying and I will see you soon.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A...

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this...

Wet N Wild Mega Liner

Image
Hey loves, As you may have guessed, Wet N Wild is available to buy in Ireland now. One of our supermarkets here called Dunnes Stores carries it. They booted Essence out and got Wet N Wild in. For those who are new to liquid liner or just prefer gel, try this if you can. As you can the brush is short but it isn't as pointed as some others I have seen. My issue with liquid liner is getting a grip with the brush so it's firm but still moves. I don't think for me, as a beginner, a long brush or handle is ideal. I love this product. The handle and brush make it so easy for you to have a good grip. The colour range isn't the largest but I chose turquoise for the Spring. I found two coats of this on the lid made it pop and look very different. This liner is so easy to use, I even managed to get a wing. That is a huge deal, for me anyway. For €2.99, I have to go back for more. For those in the UK looking for Wet N Wild, click here. Victoria xox
