My Current Beauty Favourites.

I believe if I did a monthly favourites it would almost be the same things over and over again, so here's what I'm loving right now..
Bioderma crealine, caudalie grape water, MAC, Elf powder brush, avon super shock, wet n wild,
MAC Studio Finish Concealer- My all time favourite concealer, it's thick and creamy and works well to cover my beasty dark circles. I have tried a few other concealers by MAC but they don't cover as well as this one. I have also tried Bobbi Browns creamy concealer which did an awesome job at covering but unfortunately creased like crazy! I am yet to find something as good as or better than this, it even has SPF 35 which is a bonus.
Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation- I wear this almost everyday or at least the days I want to wear make-up. I only use liquid foundation now and again as this foundation is good enough for me. Light and natural looking but also has up to medium coverage.
Elf Powder Brush- My go to brush to put on my powder foundation, dirt cheap, soft and a good quality brush in my eyes.
Avon Supershock eyeliner- A great jet black eyeliner that glides on very easily and a decent price of £6 when I got it.
Wet n Wild Lipstick 904B- Andrea sent me this and I just love the colour it's a gorgeous rosy pink and very pigmented. Not as easy to get in the UK (that I know of) but it's a pretty cheap brand and I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you have access to it! 
Bioderma Crealine H2O - This cleanser is my go to for removing make-up, it's very gentle and refreshing rather than oily feeling and although in my opinion it's not the best for getting rid of eye make up such as mascara it's still a great cleanser. 
Caudalie Grape Water- This little baby I adore, my friend from Paris sent me it and it's 100% organic grape water in an aerosol can. It's supposed to be moisturising, refreshing and soothing and I'd agree to this to an extent, I still have to use moisturiser. I just love this product as I find it very refreshing to spray over my face especially on hot days and mornings. It's also great to spray over make-up to set!
Maybelline Lash Stiletto- My all time favourite mascara which I have mentioned before here. I think it's good as Benefits 'They're real' and much cheaper too. Great for lengthening and defining your lashes. 
Benefit 'They're real' mascara- Again a great mascara for lengthening and defining lashes. I've been using this alot since my Lash Stiletto ran out and I really like it although it's on the pricey side. I originally gave in to the hype and bought it to see what the fuss is about but don't think I'd repurchase as Lash Stiletto is just as good but cheaper. 


What are your favourites?

Just my luck! RIP MAC Dare =(!!!

It's gone! My new lipstick, my 3rd addition to the Mac family of lipsticks, the lipstick I blogged about a couple of days ago, the lipstick I had used twice....GONE!! =(
This catastrophe happened at some point today, either when I was running for the train, or on the train.

If anyone has seen this lipstickplease return it to mommy! haha

Anyways how saddening, I seem to be prone to loosing things, last time it was my new mobile and tweezers seem to be another thing prone to being lost by me I really need to get a grip.
Anyway other than that my day has been good, my only purchases was mini rolls mmm how was your day?

3D Alice in wonderland + Haulage....Benefit/Hotel chocolat/MAC/Lush (of course)

Alice in wonderland was AMAZING. I went to the second showing of the day it was released because I'm a geek like that, I even made my friend power walk from uni to the train station so we could get there early even though we had like 2 hours and I had pre-booked tickets. I really recommend it, when it ended I was like wow that went so quick! Time flies when your enjoying something.

After the movie I went shopping, I really need to control my spending right now but oh how it doesn't help when your in the city center numerous times a week. Anyway I'm typing this with the smell of sweet vanilla wafting around me thanks to the scarf I spray attacked at boots. I actually really wanted it but it was sold out due to the save 66p offer so £1.33 for a bottle of yummy smelliness? Bargain. I might have to pop back in to get it and maybe some other scents too..

Okay so thing's that I actually got my hands onto was: 

Benefit- Coralista    
I finallyyy got my hands on Coralista, I've been wanting to buy this blusher for a long long time, I've heard so many good thing's about it so I got it a couple of day's ago from Debenhams as they had 10% off beauty.

 
 
First of all I have to say how nice it smells, pretty much all of the benefit blushers do, this is the second one I own the other one being Dallas which I seemed to have stopped using so it's nice to have a great smelling blusher in use again! I'm not a huge fan of shimmery blushers but this one is just right, the colour is gorgeous and I can't wait to use it.

Dorothy Bubble Bar- £2.80

Okay so the smell I got told is like the figs and leaves soap which I'm not a fan of. I compared them both at the store but its similar but Dorothy is somehow different in a way. I just had to get it because its so cute and I'd like to see my bath water change blue or different shades thanks to the rainbow. I'm a huge fan of Lush bubble bars....think I've tried almost all of them!

I also got Amandopondo £2.45

As you can see I've already used it. It's supposed to smell of Lemon and Rose but personally I think it's more Lemon than anything, I think it overpowers the smell of rose that might be in it. Despite this I still like the smell, it's refreshing. I had lovely fluffy bubbles but obviously the water stayed it's normal colour and the smell didn't linger. No match to The comforter.

I popped into MAC as I was in there a couple of days before and tried on the lipstick Faux a satin finish mauvey pink.When I got home I felt the need to buy it, I really liked the colour on me and it was nothing I've had before.
So I went back but somehow ended up getting Brave which is a Satin muted pink beige with a pearl overtone.
I still want faux!
 
 
My 3rd Mac lipstick believe it or not! Any recommendations for some everyday pinks?

Last of all, I'm the biggest chocoholic in the world, I'm so going to have diabetes when I'm old. I went to Hotel chocolat just to look (honest!) and the SA let me try some chocolate and of course I went back and got a box....

Soooo yummy, and of course they look adorable. A nice sweet note to end my day on =)
