Mario Badescu The 50th Anniversary Edition Set

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Mario Badescu The 50th Anniversary Edition Set. I got this from Beauty Bay for €39.40. It sold out very fast but its now back in stock on their website. This brand has a huge range of skincare products which are very popular and this set is a great way to get your hands on a good few of their most popular products. According to Beauty Bay's website this set comes with 5 products: Drying Lotion (1 fl oz) - An award-winning spot and whitehead treatment. Silver Powder (0.5 oz) - A blackhead remover. Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater (4 fl oz) - A hydrating and refreshing facial spray. Flower & Tonic Mask (0.5 oz) - A purifying face mask. Enzyme Cleansing Gel (4 fl oz) - An exfoliating face wash. I usually wash my face using the enzyme cleansing gel. I have sensitive skin so I'm always cautious of face washes but I find this product is very gentle on the face. I apply with a face cloth and rinse off with warm w

Superdrug Haul

Hi guys!! Today I'm going to be showing some new products I bought at Superdrug recently. I was really excited to get these products as I'm always on the hunt for the best products on a budget. My total came to just over £40 which is a little pricey but I was happy to be able to get all these products from the one place. I know that most of the products I picked up are also available in other retailers so if you're looking for any of these products I'd recommend checking out Boots as they stock most of the items I picked up so I'll also link their website down below. So the first item I picked up was this Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer Dry/Sensitive. I have been looking for a new cheaper primer with a while now so when I saw this for £2.55 I said I'd give it a go. It claims to be very hydrating on the skin and it has a gel like texture so I'm very interested to test this out. The next item I purchased was the Revlon Sculpt + Highlight

Makeup Revolution My Sign Lipglosses

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be showing you the new Makeup Revolution My Sign Lipglosses. I picked these up off the Tam Beauty website in their sale. There are lipglosses for every star sign and they also released 4 collections of these glosses in Fire, Air, Water and Earth. I only have the Water collection as they are they shades that I liked the most. I bought 7 of the 12 shades because these are the shades that I think suit my skin tone best. I have worn all these glosses a few times now and I must say they are really nice. I think that recently matte lipsticks and liquid lipsticks have exploded in the make up industry and as much as I love these types of lip products I wanted to try something a bit more hydrating. These glosses have amazing pigmentation and are very comfortable to wear on the lips. They are also super affordable and are currently on sale on the Tam Beauty website. If you're looking for a new lipgloss with strong pigmentation that I would highly recommend giv

Get The Conference Look

Hi guys! I hope everyone is having a great Friday! Today I'm going to be showing you how to create this very pink make up look suitable for any office function. I recently attended a Commerce event and thought I would show you how to get this same look. So firstly I started by priming my face using the Soap and Glory speed plump all day super moisture marvel. I then applied the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear 24 hour foundation in the shade 005 beige ivoire using a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I then applied the Make Up Revolution conceal and define concealer in C1. Next I primed my eyelids using Mac paint pot in painterly. I created my eye look using the Makeup Revolution Soph Eyeshadow Palette and the Blank Canvas Cosmetics eye brushes. This is one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes ever. I love the colour story and it is, in my opinion, probably the best drugstore eyeshadow palette on the market at the moment. I firstly dipped into the shade Pancakes and I ran this

High End Valentines Day Eye Tutorial

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be creating a high end eye look. I created this purple smokey look using the Laura Lee Los Angeles Cats Pajamas Eyeshadow Palette and it's perfect for Valentines Day.  I started by priming my eye lids with the Mac paint pot in painterly and placing down all the matte shades first. I took the shade Bomb Diggity in the crease and blended this upwards. I then took the shade Cray Cray and blended this through my crease and blended this downwards. I then used the shade Kooky and focused this on the outer edges and lighted ran this through my crease. I then started on the shimmer shades by dipping into the shade Out The Other and placing this on the outer third of my lid. I then used the shade In One Ear and placed this all over the final 2/3's of my lid. I used the shade Okie Dokie under my brow bone to highlight that area and finally I placed the shade Scatter Brain on my inner corners to brighten up the eye. I must say I was really impress

Affordable Valentines Day Look

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be creating this affordable Valentines Day look using mostly drugstore products.  This look was super easy to create and I tried to make this very affordable too . I started by priming my face as always using the Soap and Glory speed plump all day super moisture marvel. This is my favourite moisturiser ever and always smells amazing. I then used the Bourjois healthy mix serum foundation in the shade 51 and applied that all over my face using a Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge (which is currently on sale on Feel Unique's website see the link down below). I then applied the Make Up Revolution conceal and define concealer in C1 to my under-eye area and blended it in using the same sponge. Next I primed my eyelids using Mac paint pot in painterly. I don't currently have a dupe for this product but I would love to find a good cheaper eye primer if possible. I then used the Make Up Revolution Flawless 4 palette and Blank Canvas Cosm

The Best Concealer Ever?!?!

Hi guys today I'm going to be reviewing the new Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer. This concealer has been highly talked about since its release with many people saying its a close dupe from the Tarte shape tape concealer. I personally haven't tried the Tarte concealer so I can't do a comparison but I'd imagine this one is a good dupe for it from seeing what other beauty guru's are saying about it online. I bought this as soon as it was released on the Tam Beauty website for €4.98. I picked up the shade C1 which is the palest shade in the range. The shade range of the concealers that Makeup Revolution have released are extremely impressive for a drugstore brand. This concealer is available in 18 shades and is super affordable. It comes in this plastic tube with rose gold packaging, has a large doe foot applicator and you get 4ml of product. This product has a thick consistency and has amazing full coverage with a soft velvet finish. You can also cont
