Raisa Cheema Made Me Do It!!!!! #minibeautyhaul

A few weeks ago the beautiful Raisa Cheema posted a video on her YouTube channel (click here to watch), and the three products shown above were included. So me being me went out to my local Boots the next day and picked these up as they were on 3 for 2. I'd been looking out for a BB Cream that helps with my crazy oily skin so when Raisa mentioned the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream I knew I had to try it! It is not perfect at keeping my oils at bay, but it is a whole lot better than the ones I have previously brought. I've found the best way this works is by using Wayne Goss's trick (it has literally worked wonders not just with this BB Cream but my foundation too!). This really does feel so nice and light on my skin and when I do have a breakout on my face this really does not anger the spots further, most likely down to the fact that the BB Cream does have salicylic acid.

 

I had heard a lot about the Maybelline Fit Me concealer and thought it was time to see what this hype was truly about.. Needless to say I am sooo impressed! It doesn't really do a great job in covering blemishes but that's not really what I wanted it for, instead I use this in the shade 10 under my eyes, and boy does it do a great job in covering the under eye mess! It does not crease on me and yet somehow doesn't look unnatural as I find some concealers under the eyes do tend to do!

 

Okay, moving on to the thing I was most excited about trying- Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in Make an Entrance. So as soon as Raisa appeared on my screen I was dying to find out what she was wearing on her lips and turns out it was this bad boy! It is simply gorgeous and I could not resist the urge to slather it all over my lips as soon as I got out the shop! No words can describe how I feel about this lipstick. Lipsticks/Lip glosses are my favourite beauty product to try out I absolutely love them! This lipstick is most definitely something special it is a red lipstick with orange undertones which I was a bit sceptical about to begin with as anything with orange undertones do tend to make teeth appear to be yellow, however this was not the case! It glides on the lips, super easy to apply and lasts quite a while without drying up my lips. So if you're on the look out for a red lipstick which isn't too bold and in your face then this is the lippy for you!

 

Overall I would recommend all of the products I have mentioned in this post! They are AMAZING!!! All of the above are very reasonably priced and there always tends to be some sort of offer going on whether its Superdrug or Boots.

 

If you would like a more in depth review of any of these products leave me a comment down below!

 

Hope you're all well!

Mini Beauty Haul

Helloo guys ! Thought I'd do my next post on small collective hall, the clothing/fashion haul shall be up very soon! If you want to see an in depth review of anything just let me know !

I must say this is one of the best moisturisers I've ever used ! It can be hard to find something that hydrates your skin without leaving it shiny and looking very oily, so for me this is perfect! Quite often on offer in Superdrug and Asda for around the £3 mark, and absolute BARGAIN!

So I brought this as I was finding using foundations too heavy for my skin, I don't really have perfect skin and for my skin tone I find it difficult to find a perfect match drugstore foundation, hearing good things about this I thought I'd give it a try especially as BB creams are meant to adapt better to your skin tone.. however the medium shade was way to dark for my skin making it look orange, so next time it's on offer I shall be getting the lighter shade.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BABYLIPS! They are the perfect tinted lip balms especially this shade and the 'pink punch'.

Never EVER have I loved any make up brushes as much as I do these! Real Techniques do the best, they leave my make up looking flawless, so easy to wash and dry and do not shed at all! When I saw these two on offer in Superdrug I found it hard to pass it up!

Batiste dry shampoo works amazingly on my long curly hair, a quick spritz and my hair feels fresh and ready to go. 

Natural Collection have some great finds at a bargain price! The rosey glow blush is a favourite of mine especially for this time of the year!

I also picked up the lip liner and lipstick seeing as it was on 3 for 2.

I've not actually given this a proper go but I'm excited to try this out!

Cocoa Butter Lip Balm is a must for me especially in the cold wintery season.

Fashion & Skincare Haul ♡

Hiyaa Beautifuls! 

Today I was feeling in the need of a pick me up and as I was in town I decided to so some damage. I'm using the excuse that I had a voucher and my student card to get discounts, that makes it allowed right?

I guess ill begin with the skin are items. Seeing the new L'oreal Skin Perfection 15 Second Cleansing Oil I was intrigued as I was on the look out for an alternative to my usual make up wipes as these were just not cutting it for me anymore. 

The Simple Oil Balancing Moisturiser was on offer and as I'm almost out of my Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser I thought I'd pick this up. Cocoa butter is something I adore the scent of! Although it's a body moisturiser I do intend to use this at night time to try clear my skin of those pesky marks! 

Unfortunately H&M didn't have the red version of this in stock so I decided to go with the cream to help tame my hair (more like hide it on a bad hair day) and keep my ears nice and toasty! 

I've been looking for a coat similar to this for a good few months and I happened to come across this in New Look and I really could not resist! 

This jacket I think is and absolute bargain from Zara as it was in the sale for £16.99,   need I say more? 

I've had my eye on this for a while and seeing as H&M had 20% off I grabbed it whilst I could. Seeing as the days are getting colder I thought this would be ideal and I could easily dress it up with a statement necklace and some skinnies!

This jumper I'm not so sure about if I'm honest, I was looking for a jumper in the exact same colour but a bit more fluffy, but I guess this will do for now unless I find something better anytime soon. 

If you would like me to do a bit more of an in depth review of any of the skin are items or OOTD's with the clothing I brought just pop me a comment :)

Hope you're all okay! 

Nicky xoxo
