Beauty ¦ The Makeup collection - Eyes and brows

So I thought it was about time that I updated my makeup collection. This time I've decided that I'm going to be super in depth and I'm going to spread my collection out over 7 days. I just want to add a little disclaimer that I am in no way shape or form bragging I love makeup collection posts and videos and I wish that more people did super in depth ones. If you would like to know my opinions on any of the products in this post let me know in the comments and I can either link you to my review or give you a quick opinion in the comments.

 

If you missed them here are Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4  

 

So after showing you my powder shadows yesterday today I'm talking about everything else eye related. Starting off with cream shadows I have my pots all lined on their sides so that I can see the shades. I have a lot of the Maybelline colour tattoo's as I think they are incredible. The formula is brilliant and they are super easy. I also have a Mac Bare study paint pot and a P2 forever intense eyeshadow cream.

 

 

I also really love a good eyeshadow crayon. My favourite shadow crayons are the Rimmel scandal eyes crayons which have all the qualities that I want in a cream shadow. The Topshop crayon is wonderful however I do think it is discontinued which sucks as it is a really brilliant formula as well as being a stunning shade.

 

 

 Two products I'm not 100% sure about are the Gosh Forever shadow pencil and the Miss sporty fabulous eyes pencils. The gosh has a lovely formula however it isn't in a shade I would ever wear (I won it in a giveaway) therefore I don't reach for it. The Miss sporty glossy pencils where sent to me and were something I really wanted to like as there are some stunning colours in the range however I find for me they are far to wet as I already have oily eyelids therefore they just settle and crease really badly.

This bit of my collection has a bit of everything from eyelash glue to mascara to brow gel. I have lots of liner pencils despite the fact I never use them and I also have my eye primer which I cannot live without. (Urban Decay Primer potion if you where wondering)

 



Some favourites out of this section include Duo lash glue, Soap and glory thick and fast mascara which is my current favourite mascara however if I had to pick an all time favourite mascara I would have to go for Benefit's they're real, Benefit instant brow pencil, Collection fast stroke liner which is by far the best liquid liner I have ever tried and the Maybelline brow drama pencil.

 



Finally I have a little section with my eyelash curlers, back up/brightly coloured mascaras and some false lashes. These Eylure pro lash individuals are my favourites as they are a million times easier than strip lashes.

 

So that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed

Beauty ¦ The Makeup collection - Powder eyeshadows

If you missed them Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 are here

 

 

So once again I keep these in my Malm dresser in stodja cutlery trays from Ikea. Today I thought I'd just show you my powder shadows and then I'm going to be showing you my cream shadows and all my other eye products tomorrow.

 



So I literally just picked out six shadows at a time to show you. First off I have the Rebel young baked eyeshadow in Fairy cake which is stunning and metallic I just wish that I could pick them up in the UK. L'oreal's Colour riche shadows are stunning I reach for them on a regular basis as they are incredibly pigmented and super blendable. Café saint Germain is definitely one of my favourite shades out of all my single shadows. MUA shadows are brilliant quality for the price however I never reach for this particular shade (25) as it's a little to pink and I find I have to work really hard to

make it look nice.

 

Urban Decay's moondust shadow in cosmic is something I love to use when I want a little more sparkle on my eyes. It's basically just lots of different coloured glitters suspended in a slightly white base. The 17 eye pot in statuesque was something I used to reach for all the time however recently it has definitely been pushed to the back of my stash. Finally for this six I have the 2 true duo eyeshadow which is a really stunning little duo and a complete bargain at only £1.99.

 



In this set I have another of the L'oreal shadows in sable lame, another MUA shadow in 24 and another of the 2true duos. I also have a Jemma kidd glitter which I picked up from a discount store and I used it for prom. An Essence shadow in the shade metropolitan which I just a basic shimmery chocolate brown and then a Catrice single shadow in Oops nude did it again which is perfect for highlighting and as a very subtle base.

 



The Revlon colourstay shadow links are something I have mixed feelings on. The matte one I own is a stunning shade however I've found that the shimmery ones lack a little in pigment at £2.99 I'd definitely recommend the matte shades. The Essence pigment is something that I never ever reach for and in all honesty I'm not sure I've ever used it's incredibly pretty but far to much hassle for me. I don't tend to buy trios or quads at all however two of these where gifts and one came free in a set. The Bourjois trio has three stunning shades in it however it lacks a little in terms of pigment. The Essence quad creates a beautiful smokey eye however it isn't something I reach for often as quite frankly smokey eyes terrify me. Finally I have one of the Body shop shimmer cubes which I love when used wet however due to that being a bit of a pain it's only something I reach for when I have loads of time to do my makeup.

 



Finally for powder shadows I have 7 of the Makeup revolution shadows which are incredible for the price. I would definitely say that I prefer these to the MUA ones I also find that the packaging more practical and less prone to breaking and the pigment and blendability are a little better.

 

So that's it for today's makeup collection post, I hope you enjoyed. 

Beauty ¦ The Makeup collection - Palettes

So I thought it was about time that I updated my makeup collection. This time I've decided that I'm going to be super in depth and I'm going to spread my collection out over 7 days. I just want to add a little disclaimer that I am in no way shape or form bragging I love makeup collection posts and videos and I wish that more people did super in depth ones. If you would like to know my opinions on any of the products in this post let me know in the comments and I can either link you to my review or give you a quick opinion in the comments.

 

If you missed it here is Part 1 and Part 2

 

I didn't actually realise before I took these photos how many palettes I actually have. I keep my most reached for palette in a set of two Muji drawers which I keep on top of my dressing table and then I keep the rest of my palettes in my Malm dresser in the stodja cutlery trays.

 



I have a good mix of high end and drugstore palettes however I do tend to reach for my high end palettes more often as I just find on the whole they are better quality. Some of my favourites include Urban decay Naked one, Urban decay Naked basics, Stila in the light, Nars virtual domination and my Mac quad. However I do still love my drugstore palettes and I reach for the Revlon photo ready primer shadow and sparkle kits, the Collection eyes uncovered and my Sleek vintage romance palette all the time.

 



 

Despite the fact that I love 99% of the palettes in my collection I do tend to use the same ones all the tame and I tend to neglect a couple which are really amazing like the MUA hall of fame palette, The Balm Balm voyage and my Illamasqua aura palette.

 

So that's it for today come back tomorrow for my powder eyeshadow collection.

Beauty ¦ The Makeup collection - Cheeks

So I thought it was about time that I updated my makeup collection. This time I've decided that I'm going to be super in depth and I'm going to spread my collection out over 7 days. I just want to add a little disclaimer that I am in no way shape or form bragging I love makeup collection posts and videos and I wish that more people did super in depth ones. If you would like to know my opinions on any of the products in this post let me know in the comments and I can either link you to my review or give you a quick opinion in the comments.

 

If you missed it here's Part 1

 

So today's post is all about the cheeks I'm going to be talking about all things bronzer, highlighter and blush. I've always been a lover of blush however bronzer is something that I've only recently (I'm talking in the last year ish) discovered as I was always terrified that it would make me super orange.

However it is something that I now use everyday and I couldn't be without it.

 



Just like my base products I keep these products in my Malm dresser stored in the stodja cutlery trays from Ikea.

 



So starting off with Highlighters I have mini's of both the Benefit liquid highlighters. I love both of these and I would happily pick up the full sizes however these mini's seem to be lasting forever. I also have the Beauty UK Blush in Halo which is such a stunning highlighter I find that it doesn't have enough colour to use it as a blush. Seventeen's bronze block in pink bronze is something that I don't reach for as often as I should however when I do I think it's beautiful. Finally for highlighters I have the Sugar box face stick in 01 which is something I got from Born pretty and is something that I don't really have much of an opinion on it's ok but nothing thrilling.

 



Next up we have single bronzers I use the L'oreal glam bronzer a lot however the other three tend to get neglected bar the L'oreal one all of these are completely matte. I love the Bourjois bronzing primer however I find that in the winter it's a little to dark and a little orange. The MUA bronzer and the NYC smooth skin bronzer are both nice for the price. I find that the NYC lacks a little in pigment and the MUA is a little powdery.

 



Finally for bronzing and highlighting I have my contour kits. My favourite out of the three is definitely the Sleek contour kit it's the perfect shade for pale skin although I still find it works for me in the summer when I am tanning. Barry M's contour kit includes a bronzer as well as the contour powder and the highlighter. I love the contour powder as it's super ashy and it leaves a super natural finish. Finally I have the Seventeen contour kit which I am not the biggest fan of it's okay however it's not something I ever reach for.

 



I love a good cream blush as you can probably tell my favourites out of this bunch are probably the Topshop cream blushes and the Illamasqua cream blushes. I don't tend to reach for the Stila convertible colour or the Maxfactor cream blush as I find that they can be a little bit sticky. I love the shades in the Sleek blush by 3 palette however I find it's just not something I reach for often. Finally for cream blushes I have the Rimmel stay blushed liquid blush which I like however I find that it tends to move around the makeup underneath and the P2 blush stick which in all honesty I'm not sure I've ever used.

 



Rimmel Santa rose was a super hyped product in the blogging world and I find myself reaching for it when I want a neutral cheek. I also really love the Catrice illuminating blush for a natural look as it also adds a little bronze. The Essence blush is really bright and I absolutely love using it in the summer. Both the Collection blush block and the Catrice defining blush add fairly subtle flushes of colour however I do find that they are less natural than the Rimmel and the Catrice illuminating blush. The Catrice is a little peachier and the essence is a little more pink however they both leave a beautiful glow on the cheeks.

 



 

Natural collections blushes are by far my favourite budget blushes at £1.99 they really are lovely. I was gutted when the Accessorize makeup line was discontinued however I have read that they have re-launched however I'm not sure if they have re-launched the blushes this shade adds a beautiful pinky glow. Mac blushes are something that I wasn't sure about however I do really like this shade and the formula. The Maxfactor Cream puff blushes are meant to be brilliant dupes for the Hourglass ambient lighting blushes (which I haven't tried) this particular shade which is Gorgeous berries is perfect for this time of year. The Essence Come to town cream blush is similar in texture to the Maybelline bouncy blushes however I do find that it has a better pigment. Finally we have the Clinique cheek pop. This is by far he prettiest blush I own I love these and I definitely want to try more shades.

 

That's it for today!

Beauty ¦ The Muji files part 1

If you read my Makeup collection post back in November (If you didn't you can read it //Here//) I said about doing a little series about my muji drawers which house all of my lip products. I finally got round to taking the photos and I decided to do it draw by drawer instead of doing one really long post! I hope you enjoy this and I'd love it if you could link me to any lipstick/makeup collections or just lipstick reviews in general! 

So in the top draw I have all my lip stains/ lacquers, lip liners and a couple of lipglosses. Some of my favourites out of this draw are the Essence xxxl matte lipglosses are a really lovely long wearing and comfortable matte shades. I also love the OCC Lip tar in NSFW this is the most amazing bright red and once it's on the lips it's not going anywhere. I seriously need to get round to trying more of these. Other favourites include the Catrice Made to stay smoothing lip polishes, the Essence lip liners and the Collection Cream puffs. Also an honourable mention has to go to the Benefit Ultra plush lipglosses, they aren't something I use very often but they are really lovely glosses and that's coming from someone who hates glosses. 

So that's draw number one! I hope you enjoyed this post and I'd love to know if you'd like to see the other 3 drawers. 

The Makeup collection post.

Disclaimer: I have far too much makeup and I'm fully aware of that, some people collect stamps I collect lipsticks! I am in no way trying to show off or brag about how much makeup I do have, if you don't enjoy these types of posts please just click off. 

Now that's done, let's skip to the good bit. 

I recently got some new makeup storage (which is actually my christmas present off my grandparents). I have the bulk of my makeup in the Malm dresser and then all my lip products in 2 sets of muji drawers. This is a very picture heavy post!
