What Is My Face Worth?

I love reading these posts.  Not sure why, I just like knowing what makeup people are wearing I guess! Since I enjoy reading them so much, I thought I would enjoy writing one and it would be interesting to see how much it all costs.

The Body Shop Insta Blur- £14.00
Rimmel Match Perfection- £6.99
Rimmel Wake Me up concealer- £5.49
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer- £3.99
The Body Shop Brush On Bronze- £14.00
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder: £3.99

Avon Eye Shadow Primer: £7.00
MUA Hall Of Fame Eyeshadow Palette- £4.00
MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow: Plumluxe- £30.00
Barry M Blink Waterproof Precision Eyeliner- £4.59
Benefit Rollerlash- £19.50


Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm, On Fie- £5.99
Intense Gloss, Quick Smooch- £2.00

All in all, that comes in at £121.54. I am shocked. Never did I think my everyday make up would cost so much! It could be a lot more as well, if I was using more high end products instead of MUA. Crazy! Also, the quality of the pictures is worse than normal! Sorry! Dodgy iPhone after dropping it numerous times haha.

I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if any of you have done this! I'd love to have a look :)

P.S.  As I have exams coming up and a lot of work due in that I've missed through the year, this might be my last post for about a month.  I should have scheduled more posts, but I've ran out of time. With my anxiety, I need to just focus on my exams no matter how much I enjoy blogging! (If any of you wondered haha)

March Favourites | 2015

Hi! I can't quite believe we are now at the end of March, like what, where is this year going?! Anyway... This month I have had quite a few favourites so I thought I'd put them all in one post :)


Liz Earle - Deep Cleansing Mask- Link


I've made a review before about a few Liz Earle products which you can read here and if you follow me on Twitter you will know how much I love them, but this month my favourite has been the Deep Cleansing Mask. It makes my skin feel SO soft and clears up any spots I have.  I love it.

Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter- Link 



I've never really used many Soap and Glory products, but at Christmas I got a set of lots of body products and I've been using them and oh my goodness, my skin has never felt so soft after I use this butter. It also smells amazing and it sinks into the skin really well, and moisturises really well.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara Very Black- Link

This always use to be my go to mascara, but I started to get bored of using the same product every day so I tried a few others.  These were ok, but I never really loved them. So I've eventually came back to this one and I have fallen back in love with it! It makes my eyelashes look really nice and it is a good one to use while I save up for Roller Lash haha.

MUA Hall of Fame Eyeshadow Palette - Link




I've only recently purchased this, but I am in love.  I don't own that many eyeshadow palettes and I wasn't really expecting to love this as much as I do. I love neutral eye shadow colours so this looked perfect to me, and it is.  I wear it most days and I love it.

MUA Lipgloss in Smooch - Link

 I find it hard to find a nice lipgloss, but this one I've purchased from MUA is lovely.  It is so cheap but the quality is really good. It is not sticky and it just gives the lips a really nice shine and this is another product I normally wear everyday.

Rimmel Lipstick in Divine Wine (I don't know a link for it anywhere, sorry!)


I discovered this lipstick at the bottom of my makeup bag a few weeks ago and decided to try it.  As you may know, Im not really one for lipsticks but I really like this one.  The colour is really niI ce and stays on all day.  It's a really creamy, moisturising lipstick. 

Real Techniques eyeliner brush from the Nic's Picks set - Link 


I've never been good at eyeliner no matter what type I use (liquid, gel etc) so I never thought about even attempting an eyeliner brush, but since it came with the set I thought I should! I use this with a gel liner and it makes it SO easy.  My eyeliner has never looked so good haha. Definitely recommend using a eyeliner brush.

So there's all my March favourites! I hope you enjoyed reading this post and let me know what some of your favourites have been in the comments!

MUA Haul

Hi again! I recently purchased a few things from MUA so I thought I would do a post on them!

MUA makeup is known for being a cheap brand, you can get a lipstick for £1! But the price does not reflect the quality of the makeup at all. I really love all of the things I purchased so I thought that it was only right that I wrote a post for you all to see.



Hall Of Fame- Eyeshadow Palette (£4)


An eyeshadow palette for £4?! How could I not buy this haha. I've heard lots about this palette so I knew I wanted it and it would be good. I wasn't disappointed.  I love it! I haven't actually tried all the colours yet (e.g. the blue at the end) but the rest are lovely.  I prefer nude shade shadows and so the pale pinks and golds/reds are perfect for me.  The actual eye shadows themselves are really pigmented and they stay all day, what more could you want?!

Eyeshadow- Misty Rose





















I ordered these products during a valentines offer that was going on so I got this eyeshadow for free.  As I've said, I love pale eye shadows so this one is perfect. I'm in love, haha.  It has a very gentle shimmer and comes out as a lovely pale pink.  I like using it as a base colour and then using a darker shade from the palette in my crease.

Lipstick- Tulip




















This lipstick also came free with the rest of my purchases. Now I don't really wear lipstick, I mainly stick to lipgloss.  However, when this arrived I thought I may as well try it! Its a really nice creamy, quite pigmented lipstick in a pink shade.  I have to admit, I don't think I will be wearing this until it is really properly summer or I'm on holiday... When I tried it, it was quite bright and I don't think I really pulled it off, haha. But it is a really nice creamy lipstick.

Lipstick - Bare, £1




















As I've said, I don't really wear lipsticks, but I thought if I am going to buy one, it may as well be a cheap one so that if I never wear it, I don't really waste my money.  I went for a nude shade, but as I'm pale I don't think this was the best idea I've had.  It does wash me out a bit when I wear it, but with a lipgloss on top, I quite like.  Like the other lipstick, it is really creamy and fairly pigmented.  So, yes I do like this lipstick.

Lipgloss- Smooch




















This is the lipgloss I like to put over the Bare Lipstick, or I usually wear the lipgloss by its self.  The swatch above definitely does not show clearly how much sparkle you get with this lipgloss.  It is a really nice everyday lipgloss with a nice shine to it.  I was worried if it would be sticky (there is nothing worse than a sticky lipgloss) but it wasn't, its lovely and goes on really nicely. Taste nice too... Haha.

So that's all the products I bought! I hope you enjoyed this Haul blogpost.  Let me know any products you like from MUA or any other good makeup brands you know of in the comments! :)
