TAG | 10 Products I Would Repurchase

 

I have seen this TAG floating around the Internet, and thought it was right up my street. These are 10 products that I will repurchase when they run out, and that are, in my opinion, worth the money!

 

1. Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation- This is, hands down, my favourite drug store/ high street foundation. I have a very old review here. It is really amazing, and today, I think I got the very last bit out. Once I've used up my Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, I'll defiantly be buying a new one!

RRP: £8.99

 

2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- I use this usually only on special occasions, as it has such a hefty price tag, but when I do, it gives my face such radiance. I use it under my eyes, on my cheek bones, brow bone and cupids bow. It is such a beautiful, luxury product that I really enjoy using! I use it sparingly, so it will last a while!

RRP: £24.50

 

3. Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara- I am currently in the process of using up all of my mascaras that I have on the go. When I am mascaraless, this will be the one I go for! Its hard to believe, but I have never bought the same mascara twice- not because I haven't liked it, but because I like to branch out and try new ones, but this mascara has stood out as my favourite!

RRP: £7.99

 

4. Topshop Cream Blush in Flush- For school, this is the blush I reach for. As much as I love my MAC blush, there is a little too much shimmer, and I usually opt for the more natural look. This blush blends beautifully, and is the perfect colour for me. I have a full review here.

RRP: £6

 

5. MUA Professional Eye Primer- This eye primer has been my favourite for ages now. For me, it trumps Urban Decay Primer Potion. I have oily lids, and this primer ensures my eyeshadow stays on all day, no matter what the weather.

RRP: £2.50

 

6. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24h- My full review for this product is here. Having only ever used pencil and liquid liners before this one, I wasn't really sure what to expect from gel, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I love the consistency, and it is really easy to work with.

RRP: £7.99

 

7. MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy- Sometimes I feel a black eyeliner can be a little too intense on me. So most days, I wear this in my water and tight line. It is a lot more natural looking, and MAC eyeliners are so pigmented, you barley need to press on your eye! This one is such an unusual colour too, I haven't seen many shimmery bronzes on the market. My full review is here.

RRP: £14

 

8. Technic Highlights- This is a dupe for Benefits Highbeam, available at Bodycare. It is really inexpensive. I own both and I prefer the consistency of this one. It gives exactly the same finish, if not better!

RRP: £1.99

 

9. Collection Cream Puff in Cotton Candy- I have been using these nearly everyday, and have had a lot of compliments. They are so easy to wear, and you can pair them with a lipstick as well as on their own. They are really moisturising. Not to mention great value for money!

RRP: £2.99

 

10. Urban Decay Naked Palette- This and my MAC Palette are my most used and loved eyeshadows, but I decided to include this one in the TAG as my MAC palette isn't full. I love all the colours in this palette and they are just amazing quality. I wont babble on, as I've gone about it so much before, but it really is one amazing palette!

RRP: £35

Touche Éclat on a Budget?

Being one of the most hyped about products in the beauty world, Touche Éclat is loved by woman internationally.

Not being one to suffer to badly with under eye circles, but I do find I need something to make me look wide awake!

It is the Maybellie Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Under Eye Concealer.

Although it doesn't have a very wide colour range, I have found the perfect shade for my under eye area.

Packaging is pretty standard. For just over £5, you cant expect the shiny gold packaging like YSL, also, Touche Éclat has a push button at the top to release the product, whereas the Maybelline Concealer has a twist application. And they both have a similar brush.

Onto the product itself.

Before:

(Sorry about the dodgy photos!)

As you can see, it does make, quite a difference!

It is quite thick in texture, making it feel luxurious to apply.

Overall, I am incredibly pleased with this purchase, and will be using it daily in the near future!

Summers on the way!

I know its only January, and I'm already thinking about Summer, but, c'mon, whats not to get excited about?! Hot weather, (well fingers crossed!) happy faces and and long days. I for one can't wait!

This little post is about some things I have my eye on for the summer time!

Clothes:

Not to sure whats up with the positioning of the picture!

You may have heard on the grape vine, that, once again, H&M are pairing with Versace to create a new line. I may do a seperate post about it. And looking on the website, I found these, and arnt they just adorable? Patterened denim hot pants? Yes please!

RRP: £24.99

Accessorise:

This summer, I will deffinatley be trying out nail wraps! They are such a cool idea, and they give off such a cool vibe. Nail Rock deffinatley has the best selection in my opinion, and there is a certain design I have my eye on!



You can just see them. The design is awsome!

Another trend I want to try, is feather extentions!

Here's a picture of Selena Gomez sporting the look. When worn subtley like this, I think they look amazing!

Makeup:

I know, I know, this next thing is way out of my league, but a girl can dream right?!

For a long while now, I've been eyeing up the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation.

I think this foundation is perfect for the summer time. Now, I know that Chanel have literally just launched a new foundation- Chanel Perfection Lumiere, but this one, gives a more dewy, natural look, compared to a matt finish. You may prefer a matt finish, but personally, I think a dewy look is nicer for the summer.

The next product, is a beauty sensation. Not many people are not absolutley head over heals in love with it! YSL Touche Eclat is a staple in many womans (and now mens!) makeup bag!



I have said countless times before, how much I want this, and this summer, I really think I'm going to take the plunge and splash the cash! It will be perfect just to pop on, on those summer days, when any other makeup would seem to heavy.

As for eye shadows, I really like wearing creme eye shadow (although, I do wear them all year). They are light wieght, and a good quality one will stay on all day without creasing. Here are a few that are a nice summer shade.

The first one is MAC's Rubenesque. Its a beautiful gold colour, that will suit any skin tone.

Owning one myself, I know that Benefit's creasless cream eyeshadow's are superb quality, and really do last all day. I'm planning on buying this shade for summer:

The shade is Sippin n Dippin. And is a less gold, less shimmery version of Rubenesque.

And the last ones, I have just found out about from Fleur's blog, and they are the Maybelline Eye Tatoo Creme Eyeshadow, and although they are not currently available in the UK. As soon as they are, I will deffinatley be trying them out!

The two bronze colours are simply stunning, and will be making their way into my lipstick collection when their available!

And lastly I will mention a few lipsticks.

I really like coral and pink shades for the summer.

The first one is MAC Costa Chic.

This one is MAC Pink Parrot. (LE)

And also MAC Flamingo. (LE)

And for those who arnt for forking out on MAC lipsticks whenever you feel like it, as, lets be honest, unless your Kim Kardashian, who can?!

But these will be hitting the UK in March, and I cant wait to try them!



These are the Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butters. They come in a wide range of colours, and are supposed to be super moisturising. So perfect for lazy days in the garden!

I hope you enjoyed this post, that turned out to be a bit longer than I expected!

Let me know if you have tried any of the products I've mentioned!
