Some of my current favourites 😍 💫 @revlon_uk Colorstay in 180 Sand Beige ➡ Gosh I love this foundation! It has great coverage, wears well throughout the day, is easy to blend and matches my skin perfectly. I have acne-prone skin with a lot of redness all over my face, and it does a fantastic job of evening out my skin tone. I've been reaching for it every single time I put makeup on 👌 💫 @thebodyshop Vanilla Chai Body Lotion ➡ I recently became obsessed with Chai absolutely anything (mostly Chai Tea Lattes) and picked this up in The Body Shop sale. It's such a beautiful warming scent - I wish I'd discovered this at Christmas because I'd have bought the whole range 😂 💫 @newlookfashion Lip Tint in Berry ➡ This is a perfect everyday lip colour - a hint of colour, without being bold, and moisturising at the same time. I need to go back and get the other shades, I love it! 💫 @primark Pomegranate & Black Tea Eau De Parfum ➡ I keep going on about this but honestly it's so good. I've had a cold for the last week and I've still been able to smell this 😂 I'm gonna go back and get the room spray, hand cream, body lotion and hand soap - just try and stop me 🙌 💫 Crystal Earrings ➡ Aren't these cute? I got them from AliExpress and they were 85p. Lovely! 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #drugstoremakeup #beautyhaul #makeuphaul #primark #primarkbeauty #primarkhaul #jomalone #fragrance #dupe #thebodyshop #revlon #aliexpress #favourites #aliexpresshaul #newlook #lbloggersuk #beautybloggersuk #beautycommunity #projectpan #makeupreview Planned on doing a soft, natural makeup look today, but then my hand slipped and suddenly I'd done a smokey plum halo eye. Whoops 🙈 Also - my brows were on point 👌 I'm also loving this Natural Collection mascara - it makes my lashes look super long, defined and curled, plus it doesn't flake - amazing for a £2 mascara 😍 💫 @maybelline Color Tattoo Creme-Gel Eyeshadow in Creme De Rose as a base 💫 @w7makeupuk Naughty Nines Palette in Midsummer Nights in crease 💫 @brijacosmetics Eyeshadow in Mulled Wine on inner and outer corners 💫 @brijacosmetics Highlighter in Moonrock in centre of lid 💫 @naturalcollectioncosmetics Lash Length Mascara in Black / Brown 💫 @freedom_makeup Eyebrow Pomade in Caramel Brown 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupmess #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #indiecosmetics #indiemakeup #indieswatch #maybelline #drugstoremakeup #motd #lotd #eotd #makeuplook #makeuptutorial #slaytheflatlay #brijacosmetics #w7makeup #w7cosmetics #w7 #eyeshadowtutorial #freedommakeup #tambeauty #lbloggersuk Thursday #FOTD 💄 Happy weekend everyone! I'm off work for 4 days in a row and I'm so excited 😊 I finished that famed Primer Water 😭 but I found another one in Primark last week 👀 so check your local store! Also while you're there - pick up the Pomegranate & Black Tea Eau De Parfum - yes, a Jo Malone dupe - I can't stop wearing it. 💫 @thebodyshop Instablur All-In-One 5 Action Perfector 💫 @misssportyuk Insta Glow Foundation in 003 Medium 💫 @bourjois_uk Radiance Reveal Concealer in Ivory 💫 @primark PS. . . PRO Longwear Finishing Powder 💫 @milanicosmetics Baked Blush in Luminoso 💫 NYC New York Color Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny 💫 @makeuprevolution Aqua Brow in Medium Brown 💫 @essence_cosmetics Make Me Brow in Soft Browny Brows 💫 @naturalcollectioncosmetics Lash Length Mascara in Black / Brown 💫 @primark Primer Water 💫 Bath House Mango Mojito Lip Balm with Vitamin E + Cocoa Butter 💫 @misssportyuk Wonder Smooth Lipstick in Heroic Copper 💫 @officialbbeauty B Brilliant Rich Colour Lip Gloss in Hibiscus 💫 @primark Pomegranate & Black Tea Eau De Parfum 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #drugstoremakeup #motd #lotd #eotd #makeuplook #primarkbeauty #makeupreview #misssporty #bourjois #bbeauty #milani #essence #beautybloggersuk #dupe #lbloggersuk #beautycommunity #beautybloggers #projectpan I hear so much about @aldiuk skincare, so I figured I'd try it for myself 😉 these both smell amazing - but more importantly, they do a great job of hydrating my skin without feeling greasy. They also don't irritate my acne - what a godsend! I'm really enjoying using these, and wouldn't say no to trying more of the range - these were both £4.99 each, which I think is a great price point for decent quality skincare 🙌 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #aldi #lacura #skincare #skincareaddict #skincareroutine #skincarereview #affordableskincare #drugstoreskincare #beautybloggers #discoverunder10k #beautybloggersuk #makeupjunkie #lbloggersuk Big news! @primark have launched a 'Jo Malone inspired' collection 😍 There are 5 fragrances - including famous scent blends like Lime, Basil and Mandarin - available in hand cream, soaps, lotions, and small and large Eau De Parfum. Yes - not Eau De Toilette! 🙌 I don't own anything from Jo Malone (there's a reason it says 'affordable' in my IG bio) but I was super happy to spot these. I love the packaging, and the products inside smell wonderful. I went for the Hand Cream in Amber Noir (£2), and the small spray Eau De Parfum in Pomegranate and Black Tea (£3). Depending on how well the scent wears, I might go back for the full size - it's only £8! If you're reading, Primark... candles next please 😜 Have you seen these in your local Primark? 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #drugstoremakeup #beautyhaul #makeuphaul #primark #primarkbeauty #primarkhaul #jomalone #fragrance #fragrances #discoverunder10k #beautybloggersuk #perfumes #makeupcollection #makeupjunkie #beautyjunkie #dupe Does anyone else have a product that they hardly ever use, but can't help buying anyway? For me it's eyeliners. I pretty much never wear winged liner but that doesn't stop me going on a weird quest to collect every colour. Black? Of course. Brown? Why the hell not! Green, purple, pink, burgundy? Well obviously I need those too 😉 What do you hoard but never use? 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #drugstoremakeup #motd #lotd #eotd #makeuplook #eyeliner #gelliner #delilah #rimmel #maybelline #mac #zoeva #makeupcollection #makeupstash #beautybloggersuk #newmakeup #flatlaythenation #flatlay #flatlays #makeupbrushes 💖 This @iheartmakeupldn Goddess of Love Triple Baked Highlighter in Goddess of Faith is such an unsung hero of my highlighter collection! It's so glowy and easy to blend, with no chunky glitter (yay!) It's also massive - and a little goes a long way - so for £4.99, you're getting some serious bang for your buck 💸 Have you tried any of the products from this line? 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #drugstoremakeup #motd #lotd #eotd #makeuplook #highlighter #makeupcollection #makeupstash #beautybloggersuk #dupe #makeupdupe #makeuprevolution #tambeauty #highlightonfleek #glowkit #iheartmakeup #lbloggersuk ⚠ There's a brand new post up on metababycow.co.uk - the first part of my @brijacosmetics collection. If you love a good bit of macro makeup porn, you won't want to miss it! Link in bio 👉 I've been putting serious sweat into this post (honestly. Photography lights are hot as heck) so I hope you all enjoy it! 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #makeupreview #indiecosmetics #indiemakeup #indieswatch #duochrome #macro #makeupporn #brijacosmetics #beautybloggersuk #makeupcollection #makeupstash #greenbeauty #greenbeautycommunity #swatches #crueltyfree #swatch #swatches #swatchsunday #eyeshadow #highlighter Thursday #FOTD 💄 I really loved my brows today 🙌 I hadn't used powder in ages but they turned out so good 😊 What do you guys prefer for your brows? Powder? Pomade? Pencil? Liquid? Wax? Or just mascara? 💫 @muacosmetics Skin Define Hydro Primer 💫 @revlon_uk Colorstay in 180 Sand Beige 💫 @bourjois_uk Radiance Reveal Concealer in Ivory 💫 NYC New York Color Smooth Skin Pressed Powder in Translucent 💫 Constance Carroll Powder Blush in Rose 💫 @focallure Highlighter in Hippo 💫 @freedom_makeup Eyebrow Powder Duo in Caramel Brown 💫 @essence_cosmetics Make Me Brow in Soft Browny Brows 💫 @naturalcollectioncosmetics Lash Length Mascara in Black / Brown 💫 @kikomilano Tropic Heat Primer / Fixer 💫 Bath House Mango Mojito Lip Balm with Vitamin E + Cocoa Butter 💫 @officialbbeauty B Brilliant Rich Colour Lip Gloss in Hibiscus 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #drugstoremakeup #motd #lotd #eotd #makeuplook #muacosmetics #revlon #kikotrendsetters #focallure #panporn #projectpan #projectpancommunity #beautycommunity #makeupdupe #dupe #bourjois #freedommakeup #makeupcollection 💦 I've been loving this @lorealskin Hydra Genius Aloe Water - I've been reaching for it a lot lately! It's light in texture, but very hydrating, and sinks into my skin almost instantly. I use it both as an extra layer of hydration in combination with other skincare products, and as a standalone moisturiser. I think this is something my mum would love too - she doesn't like thick or heavy moisturisers, so this would be perfect for her. Have any of you guys tried it? 💕 💕 #bbloggersuk #beautyreview #discoverunder100k #l4l #makeupflatlay #ukbloggers #loreal #lorealskincare #bbeauty #skincareregime #affordableskincare #skincareobsessed #skincareblogger #sblogger #slaytheflatlay #marble #canon #discoverunder10k #beautybloggersuk #skincareaddict #skincareroutine #skincarereview #skincare #skincareluxury #beautybloggers #aloe
