Drugstore beauty favourites - Spring

hi guys,

recently i've been loving a few products and i thought i would share them with you. these products are all ones i've recently purchased for spring and i love them! also sorry this blog post is a day late i had a concert last night x

i'm going to share my favourite face, eye and lip products

face products

foundation - my favourite foundation recently has been the rimmel london lasting finish (this is the one with the red lid). my face products haven't really changed as i tend to just repurchase until i find something better. anyway i think this foundation is amazing, it is a medium coverage foundation but leaves you skin looking natural and flawless and it lasts forever. i don't actually wear foundation that much but when i'm going out somewhere i will.

concealer - i love the rimmel london wake me up concealer as i have pale skin and i often get quite dark circles under my eyes. the concealer i used to use was miss sporty perfect stay but i found that even the lightest shade looked orange in my skin so i tried out this and it surprised me! one thing i would say is us a brus or a beauty blender to blend it otherwise i found it cakes but otherwise this is a great concealer.

powder - i use the maybelline matte maker powder to set my makeup and it works fine on my foundation and concealer and doesn't cake. i would recommend this powder, the collection pressed powder or the rimmel london stay matte powder, they all work really well.

blush - i have two favourite blushes for spring, the first being the mua blush in the shade cupcake. the mua blushes are really pigmented and they blend really easily, this blush is also a really good price as it's only £1. my other favourite blush is the rimmel london lasting finish mono blush in the shade pink rose. this blush gives a really nice natural pink glow and isn't shimmery so it's perfect for daytime.

contour/highlighter - i don't wear contour as i haven't really found a contour that doesn't turn out orange on me. sometimes i wear highlighter in the spring and summer months to add an extra glow. my favourite is probably the makeup revolution golden lights highlighter. it's quite pigmented and has a little shimmer in office i think looks really nice and natural.

eye products

eye shadows - i have a few eyeshadow that i really like and that i think are perfect for spring: i really like the rimmel london 5 pan eyeshadow palettes and the pinkadilly circus palette is probably my favourite as you can create a really natural eye look or you can create a heavy eye look. i prefere a more natural look and the pinks in this are perfect. I have 2 favourites from mua and they are the mono eye shadows in the shades champagne and oyster. all of the mua eyeshadows are super pigmented and really shimmery and this is why i love them. they are also amazing for the price.

eyeliner - i don't wear eyeliner that often but when i do i wear the collection fast stroke eyeliner. i love this eyeliner as i'm not very good but the brush size is perfect and makes it a lot easier.

mascara - mascara is my most used makeup product as i wear it everyday for school and whenever I'm going out. anyway i always wear the rimmel london super curler mascara. not many people think this is a good mascara but i do. it definitely works a lot better on top of another mascara but if you are going for a natural look this is perfect.

lip products

lipstick - the max factor colour elixir lipsticks are definitely my favourites especially the shade angle pink 610. this is such a pretty pink shade and it's also really natural. the lipsticks are really pigmented which i love and this is perfect for spring!
