My top 10 Makeup Must-Haves!




Hello again Beauties! 💗💗

So lately I have tried out a lot of new products that I loved and taught I would share with you guys. Some products are high end and some are drugstore products. These are just some of my personal favourites right now;

Primer:  Maybelline Baby Skin instant fatigue blur primer in warn apricot.
This primer has a creamy texture and blends so easily into the skin. It moisterises and give the skin a radiant glow. Primers also help keep a barrier between your skin and makeup which we all love. This costs €14. And although its small its mighty! 



Foundation: Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation in 201 classic beige.
This foundation is my fav right now, it has great coverage and its very buildable depending on what look your going for. This is also very long lasting and noticed I didnt need to touch up as often as other foundations. Defenatley reccoment for a great drugstore brand and costs an amazing €10 - worth every penney!


Face Powders: Rimmel stay matte powder in 006 warm beige & MAC studio fix powder foundation in NW30. I just couldn't choose between these there both my absolute favs! Rimmel stay matte has been one of my go to powders for over a year now and no matter what I always keep going back to it. The coverage is amazing and it gives you a beautiful matte finish for hours which I love. And is a steal at only €6.

Next is my MAC studio fix powder which is my go to on a night out or when I'm wearing a more full makeup look. 
It gives a lovely bronzey colour and is also great for bronzer/contour. This beauty costs €31.50, a little steep but this will last you a life time and can used for a lot of different ways.


Concealer: Rimmel wake me up concealer in classic beige. This has medium coverage and is very buildable. I use this under my eyes to hide any imperfections and to brighten the under eye area. I also use this to brighten other areas of the face such as bridge of the nose, chin, cupids bow & forehead. All around its a great concealer and costs €8.


Mascara & Liquid Liner: These two have been in my makeup bag for as long as I can remember. I couldnt live without them especially my Seventeen high drama liquid liner in black. This is THE best liner I have ever used. I get a perfect winger liner every time with the pointed dense brush and it lasts for hours and only costs around €5.
This mascara is also amazing. The brush is a little bit shorter and thinner than a normal size mascara wand which is perfect for getting at every lash and the lower lashline easily without any mess. This mascara costs about €9 but is usually on special for about €6.


Bronzer: Benefit Hoola bronzing powder is my absolute fav bronzer. I got this little mini one in a gift set about a year and a half ago and I still havent even reached pan 🙌 This is defo worth every penney and the 8g size will last you a life time. The colour is so creamy and blends so easily. I use this for contouring & bronzing up the face & neck. The 8g Hoola retails at €34. 


Fixing Spray: MAC Fix+ spray is my new fav. I always sprits some on every day when I've finished my makeup and it keeps if in place all day long. I got this a gift and not 100% sure of the price but from what I can see online it is around €20.


Lipstick: MAC lipstick in Twig. 
The most amazing nude/brown colour and has been compared to Kylie Jenners lip colour. Since I have bought this I have been wearing it every day and I am already planning on buying a second back up 🙊 MAC lipsticks are so creamy amd long lasting and there is so much choice. Another MAC nude I adore is Kinda Sexy which retail at €19.50.


If anyone has any products or your favourites to reccomend I would love to know and try them out 😊

Morphe Eyeshadows (single pans)

Hello Beauties! 💗💗 

So today we're talking about the oh so amazing Morphe eyeshadows! I had recently started following @morphebrushes on Instagram and seen their eyeshadow palettes and single pans. For weeks I was looking at them and reading all the fantasic comments and reveiws about them and even though they have to be shipped from America (and I live in Ireland, boohoo) I said feck it and went online and had a look. The colours to choose from are to die for! I wanted all of them!!!! And altough a lot of them were out of stock I still managed to pick a couple I liked. Wish I understood considering the price and now knowing how amazing they are I am not surprised they are nearly always sold out. And at just $2 each you can't resist. I ordered 6 different colours ranging from yellow to black. 
Now the waiting game. It took about 2-3 weeks before they arrived but let me tell you it was worth the wait. The colours are beautiful and the texture so creamy and smooth. The pigmentation of these little beautys is out of this world. They blend so effortessly. 
The other thing I love about these is the pan is magnetic so they will pop into your magnetic palettes which I love.
So if you haven't heard about Morphe you need to check them out ASAP!! I cannot reccomend these highly enough. Last week I went to try purchase the Jaclyn Hill favourites palette (for the 100th time) but it was still out of stock (wahhhh.) So instead I chose the 35C palette which is filled with multiple colours from nudes to darks to colours and I am so excited to get it and try it out 😍😍😍

 If anyone has ever tried these I would love to hear what you think of them or if you have any other makeup brands to suggest. 💄😊

The 6 colours I chose were: 
No.32 (matte yellow)
No.25 (deep shimmery purple/wine)
No.14 (matte orange) 
No.65 (matte red)
No.28 (matte black)
No.76 (shimmer brozney gold)

Here are a few pics of the shadows & eye looks I created using them;
