Drugstore Favourites

Hey x

So I know I said that we were going to try and post more regularly but I guess I forgot how bust school is and how much homework we get! But anyway here I am, I'm thinking I am going to try and post once a week, Tuesdays I guess?

Today I decided that I would show you some of my favourite make up bits and bobs that are very affordable, okay so maybe I didn't decide today... I've been planning to do this blogpost for ageess so I took the photos a while ago and I have been too lazy to actually write it. So I actually do have a few more new make up items that I have fallen in love with but I'll show you them in a later blogpost. okay enough rambling..



First I am going to start with foundation- Rimmel Match perfection is quite a recent addition to my collection but I fell in love with it straight away. It is really long lasting especially If you wear a powder over the top and I love the natural velvety dewy kind of finish it gives as I am not a huge fan of matte foundations. It is incredibly affordable even for the drugstore so If you are looking for a new foundation you have no reason not to give this one a go!



Next up is a powder- Rimmel stay matte.. I am not going to go on about this because I know loads of people use it but I find it really keeps my foundation in place and looks natural as long as you don't apply too much. I think that you can't really go wrong with a powder that is like £4?



Next I am going to bang on about this bourjois blush, its in the shade rose gold I think. It is an absolutely beautiful colour that makes you look really glowy and amazing! The packaging is a adorable and it is really easy to apply even if you don't have the greatest brush and erghh its perfect.. It is about £8 which is a bit more pricy than some other blushes in the drugstore but I think it is worth the money.



Now onto mascara, even if I don't have time to put any make up on I will always apply a coat of mascara, I think it is essential and really opens your eyes up. I am quite fussy with mascara and I often find that highstreet mascaras make my lashes clumpy. However the volume million lashes mascara - so couture, really separates my lashes and adds volume AND length! the wand is tapered so you can reach into your inner lashes and you can create a really full lash look. Highly recommend!

Almost finished don't worry, I am now going to talk about brows. I think brows are really important to help frame your face, and I like them looking natural but still quite defined. My current favourite highstreet brow product is soap and glory's archery in the shade brownie points. It has a pen end and a pencil end, I use the pen side only because I prefer how it looks and the colour it gives. However I would say that it can kind of fade in the day and look kind of reddy so it may need re applying occasionally.


My last favourite is the Maybelline colour tattoos, my favourite is the shade on and on bronze. I think these look really pretty on their own or as a base for other eye shadows.  I think it is really easy to apply just all over your eyelids with your finder then blending out the edges, they are really long lasting although I haven't ever had to wear them for 24 hours so idk if they would last that long. they are around £5 so I would recommend them a lot.


Thank you for reading my blog post for this week, I hope I gave you some ideas of what to pick up next time your in superdrug or boots.
