Boots Budget Makeup Kit

Clockwise: L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Base, L'Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte Foundation, Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, Max Factor Creme Puff Blush, L'Oreal Super Liner, Soap & Glory Archery Brow, Bourjois Healthy Balance, Soap & Glory Solar Powder, Revlon Ultra Hd Lipstick

Drugstore makeup is great and its hard to know what pieces to choose from the sea of products available in Boots, so I've decided to put together a little makeup kit, great if you are starting out with makeup, or want to completely refresh your makeup bag with great new stuff but that won't break the bank.

My Top 5 Style & Make-up Staples

I thought I'd write a quick post on my top 5 style and make-up staples, the things that really make me feel like me!

Urban Decay - Naked On The Run

Feel Unique did an amazing 25% off sale recently and I managed to get my hands on the beautiful Urban Decay Naked On The Run Palette for the amazing price only £27.75! Normally retailing at £37 I couldn't resist purchasing it. Not only will this be great for taking on my travels to Paris in May but it also gives me the opportunity to test out some of their products I've not tried before. Plus it comes in a rose gold case! *drools*

Kat Von D

A while ago a did a major splurge and ordered some products from the Sephora website (ouch to the import charges). I'd heard a lot about the Kat Von D products and they looked and sounded right up my alternative street! I ordered the Tattoo Eyeliner (because eyeliner is my fav) and one of the Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks in Outlaw, a classic 'can't go wrong' red shade. 

5 Current Makeup Bag Essentials

5 products I can't live without in my makeup bag at the moment are:

Best Of Benefit Set

I've been meaning to post about this since Christmas! I received this beautiful Best Of Benefit Gift Set for christmas, in my hast to try it out I totally forgot to take a photo of the complete set...oops! Here is what it looked like in its shiny box.

Topshop Makeup Picks

I love Topshop! My mantra has always been "Shopping is my religion, Topshop is my church. I spend an unholy (pun intended) amount in Topshop and when they released their make up collection a few years ago I was in heaven!

MAC Superslick Eyeliner VS. Topshop Liner

I must have tried hundreds of different eyeliners over the years. Perfecting the cat eye flick has taken years in the making! Two products I came across, one higher end and one more 'drugstore' price, I decided to compare the two to see who came out on top.
