Haul // Liverpool and Chester

Hiii, today I have another hauuuuuul! I've been shopping quite a bit recently and I've bought loads, especially clothes! I haven't put the clothes in this, I might do a completely different post for them so these are the remaining things that I have bought! 

From Topshop I bought this absolutely gorgeous purple matte nail varnish. I have been looking for a matte colour for ages so obviously, I bought this when I saw it. It was £6 as well which is really good! 

I also bought this ring which was from H&M, it was on sale for £1! I quite fancied it as a mid ring so I got a really small size but I think they went up to large so you could wear it however you liked. 

In Liverpool, they have a Kardashian Beauty pop-up shop but because it's closing down very soon, everything was half price! So I got this for £10! I picked up this lip set called 'In The Buff' which includes lip liner, lipstick and a lip gloss. I absolutely love the colour, it's a really natural brown tint and it looks a absolutely stunning! 

I also bought some Apple Earbuds. I got some for Christmas but I think in about March, I dropped the right one in a cup of tea and didn't realise so it was there for a good few hours and the ear bud was absolutely soaking. It is incredibly annoying having only one working headphone so I treated myself to a new pair! 

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSHES. If you haven't seen the full collection of the Bold Metals Collection, seriously go and have a look, they are the prettiest brushes I have ever seen! They are quite expensive but just look at them! I had a £20 voucher for Boots so I was able to get both of these for £7! I got the 201 Pointed Crease brush which was £12 and the 200 Oval Eyeshadow brush which was £15. The Bold Metals has to be my favourite ever collection of brushes, they are stunning and Real Techniques brushes are so long lasting so you definitely get your moneys worth! 

This is definitely my favourite thing! In Liverpool there is a Beauty Bazaar/Harvey Nichols shop. First things first, the shop is stunning. Basically, it's a big shop full of little shops like MAC, YSL, Chanel, Tom Ford, Jo Malone and so many others! If you're ever in Liverpool, go and take a look around, it's a gorgeous shop! 

Anyway I had a £20 voucher for Christmas so I put £5 to it and I treated myself to a YSL lipstick. I have never felt so posh in my entire life. The lad that worked there put it on me to try and I think I came home about 3/4 hours later and it was still on incredibly well so I'm so glad I bought it. I've been looking for a red for ages and I saw it and it was like 'THAT'S THE ONE!' 

I got the Rouge Pur Couture in 64 Fuchsia Danger. It is a bit pricey (£25) but if you have a voucher, it's a really nice treat! 

P.S even the bag's nice!

How gorgeous is the case?! 

I hope you enjoyed it, let me know if you have any questions!

Make Up Starter Kit

Hiii, today I have a make up starter kit for you which basically has everything I think you will need if you're starting to wear make up. Some of you have probably seen some of these before but this is my take on it! 

Before I start, I need to apologize for the pictures! I had to change where I was taking them just for today and they all have shadows so I'm very sorry! 

 The first thing that is essential when you're wearing make up is a good face wash. I picked up the Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel a few weeks ago and I love it. It's about £3 and it's so worth it! I have noticed an incredible difference in the last few weeks so if you're starting to wear make up or you already wear it, this is definitely something I would recommend! 

Another product that is essential is moisturiser. The one I tend to use is the Nivea Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream. As well as keeping your skin fresh, moisturiser helps as a base for your foundation which is so useful!

If you are lucky enough to have good skin, I would use tinted moisturiser rather than a foundation. One that I found works really well is the Natural Collection Tinted Moisturiser. It comes in three different colours and this is the Natural shade which is £1.99. I still use tinted moisturiser now, for example, if I'm having a good skin day (which is not very often) and I'm just popping to town for half an hour, I'll wear this so I don't have to go through the whole process of putting make up on when there's no need to. 

However if you're looking for something with a bit more coverage because like me, you have bad skin, then I would recommend the Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation which is £7.99. I have had this since I started wearing make up and it was so useful at the beginning because it gave me good coverage without it being too thick.  

One thing that isn't essential is concealer. But just in case, I would recommend the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer. This is £5.49 but it is so worth it! I've used this since I started wearing make up and I still wear it now. It just adds a little bit more coverage in places like under your eyes or on spots. 

On to mascara, this is probably one of my favourites and it is the Collection Lengthening Mascara and it is £2.99. This isn't the one that I used but I didn't know about this at the time. With most mascaras, you can't wear them for day and night but with this one you can. It lasts a good few hours so there's no need to keep re-applying it throughout the day. 

The Collection Work The Colour Nude Eye Palette can be used for two things which are eyeshadow or for eyesbrows. It is £2.99 from Boots. Before I started filling in my eyebrows, I used this as an eyeshadow palette. The colours are so easy to wear and they are simple to apply. As for eyesbrows, I don't like thick eyebrows so I go for a more natural brow by just filling them in with some eyeshadow. 

What I really like about this palette is the fact that it comes with a 'How To Use' section on the back which is so useful if you're just starting out.   

I know a lot of people like bolder colours so this one is definitely useful. I can't find this one in the brochure or on the website but they do very similar ones for about £7. I found it really useful when I was starting to get into eyeshadow so I would definitely say it's worth a try. My cousin has one and she's 14 and I know she loves it as well, especailly with the colours. 

I hope you enjoyed this! I tried to keep it as simple and as cheap as possible, so I hope it was helpful!
