Beauty Updates | What's New in the Beauty World?

So many brands thrive during the summer time because this is the season where people are out doing things, wanting to look and feel great. It's the time when consumers are more motivated and therefore buy more (well I do anyway...)

I've rounded up some of the most exciting new product launches and news in the beauty world.

Building up a Make Up Collection | Mascara

I started this theme of posts a long time ago and haven't got round to doing one for a while... until now! This is going to be a quick ramble about how to find the perfect mascara for you and how to make new additions to your make up collection.

Current Make-up

I've been so absent from my blog because university is literally taking over my life! That and my laptop and camera decided to break within weeks of each other. Luckily that problems solved and I have a new laptop and my camera should be here within the week.

Its winter guys and it's really cold (spot the obvious hey!) and that usually means big woolly hats and scarves wrap around our faces. I've never been one for either of those things. Instead you can paint your face like Monet and hope it covers up your terrible winter skin. 

I'm wearing L'Oreal True Match Foundation in W4/W5 mixed together (because I really need new foundation)

Mini Beauty Haul

Hey Guys! I haven't blogged in a while due to a hectic university timetable but I have been shopping!

I bought myself some new glasses and a lush iPad Mini (check my Instagram)

but I've been buying some gorgeous new beauty products so I thought I'd share them.

Benefit - They're Real Mascara £19.50

 I avoided trying this mascara for so long because I couldn't justify the high price but when I gave in and bought I understood the hype! I love it and it WILL be repurchased!
(Price too high? - Try the mini versions sold in Boots)

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light - Here at Superdrug

I decided to give this under eye concealer a go after watching countless YouTube videos featuring in it. I've used other drug store under eye concealers but I definitely like this one as it suits my skin tone more and covers my dark circles really well!

New MAC lipsticks, Yay!!
I re-purchased So Chaud in Amsterdam recently after losing the one I bought in Canada last summer which I was annoyed about. I love this colour, it's a coral -red.
I really wanted to stray from my comfort zone of red lipsticks so I went onto the MAC website and bought Girl About Town and Flat Out Fabulous. 

Girl About Town is a purpley pink amplified colour and Flat Out Fabulous is a retro matte, deep berry colour (my favourite so far).

With Flash - £15 each

Without Flash

I previously used a Barry M eyebrow definer gel wand to set my eyebrows but because i was clear it sometimes took the colour of the hairs of my eyebrows so I bought this Benefit Speed Brow.
It was pricey at £13.50 for such a small wand and amount of product (3.0g Net wt. 0.10oz)
However, I'm impressed with it! Its colour isn't too dark and coats my brows eventually and keeps them set all day. I highly recommend trying this.

The 'No Make-Up' Make-Up Look!

Sometimes it's really nice to get up in the morning, do a full skin care routine and carefully apply your make up for the day. However, being at university usually means late nights and early mornings which don't offer the chance for the most perfect look everyday (I live with 5 boys and I don't sleep well!). 

 As we all know the weathers getting colder and the parka's are coming out so put your hood, plug in your earphones and get ready for a long day studying!

Most days are no make up days for me but I'll still put on some essentials so my face is completely naked! My 'naked day' essentials are -

 - Benefit POREfessional primer

- NYX HD studio finishing powder

- L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique in 1 Light

- L'Oreal Paris Falsh Lash Telescopic in Magnetic Black

- Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara in 100% Black

- Maybelline BROWdrama in Dark Blond

Hair Colour -
Nice N Easy Colour Blend Foam Medium Ash Blonde 8A
Glasses - Specsavers
Parka - Primark

Remember, sometimes less is more!
