Christmas mini blog #3 Silver lovin'

These next two items, technically weren't presents as I treat myself, it was more of a merry christmas to me from me kinda thing. 
Ive had a real thing about metallic and glitter this christmas, something about everything being so sparkly this time of year, so I made these two purchases in the christmas sales. 
The first is the Guerlain 'The Eye Pencil' in the shade 05 Amber Silver. This is just a gorgeous silver taupe colour, with the slightest sheen to it, it glides on so smoothly, is very blend able and has a creme feel to it, making it really soft and easy to work with. 
The second is the Mavala nail polish in the shade 213 Pure Diamond. I love this, its a true silver colour, with loads of little sparkles and crystals in, making it a lovely top coat to add some sparkle. This is also lovely on its own as its build able depending on how sparkly you want it. 
These are perfect for any party, and just in time for New Years too.

Christmas mini blog #2 Benefit

My next present was probably one of my favourites as it came as a total shock from a lady I work with, and this was the 'Benefit Goodies A Go-Go' set. 
I LOVE this, I literally can't stress how much I love it. This is a cute little set in the shape of a house, that in itself is a winner. This set has four gorgeous shades of eyeshadows, a 'Stay don't Stray Eye Primer' and  a 'They're Real Mascara'. This sett is literally perfect. Ive had the Primer and Mascara before so I know they are amazing, but I've never tried Benefits eyeshadow before so I am excited to time them a go. I love the colours, and one in particular the 'Kiss me I'm typsy' is a deep purple-brown, looks amazing, definitely think this will be right up my street. 
This is the perfect gift to give any makeup lover of any age.

Christmas mini blog #1 Cath Kidston

One of the cutest gifts I received, was the Button rose Cath Kidston brush set. I haven't had chance to try this yet, so I'm not to sure on the brush quality. But I love the packaging, and the variety of brushes you get in this. This I believe was the summer edition, but I know you can get different variations of this from their range. 
This is in a cute roll wrap bag, with three sections, two for brushes, and one for extra bits of make up. It has the cutest pink pattern on with little roses, and is the perfect size to throw in a suitcase or travel bag. The brushes range from eyeshadow and blending brushes to powder and blush brushes, its a good range for the price. 
I love it so much, and I can't wait to try the brushes.

Christmas Present Mini Series

Hey guys, Ive been away for a while, but a lot has happened in the last couple of months, so I have been super busy. 

Ive decided to start blogging again, and to get me back in the swing of things I'm going to do a mini series of blogs featuring some of the gifts I received for christmas. Ive thought of this idea as a fun way to blog, and to share gift ideas for yourself or for others, also for bit of fun. 
Each blog will be a small post with some pictures, and reviews on whether Ive tried them out, or disliked a item or fallen madly in love. 
I hope that some of you find it interesting and it gives you a little inspiration to go and treat yourself.

Current Drugstore Foundation Favourites

I always find it hard to find a foundation that I like and matches my skin tone. 
I hate testing in store, I find it cringey, and very messy to open up the little testing pots, which always seem to be covered in crap. 
However, recently I have been catching up on some beauty bloggers, and really 'stealing' ideas from them on which foundations to try on etc, mainly focusing on those who have the same skin tone as me, so I can just buy their shade. Risky I know, but luckily for me its paid off!

The two that I have been loving are both Rimmel, and both amazing!
The first is the Match Perfection, one I feel you will have all heard of. I love this, its so dewy and light. It leaves your skin looking so radiant and healthy without making your skin look cakey. 
The colour range for this is pretty good, as there is a few too choose from if you're of a light to medium skin tone. I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin, as I feel it would just slide off and make your face look shinier than you want. 
This foundation is so build-able and a great affordable price of £6.99.
The next is Rimmel's newest foundation; the Lasting Finish 25 hour. I love this, I have only used it once, but I can already tell it will be a staple in my make-up bag. 
This is a full coverage foundation, that does stay on for quite a long time, even through exercise. I love that this is skin perfecting, balancing out any imperfections and again it leaves your face really glowing and looking healthy. 
This is priced at £7.99, a great price for a new product, and a little bit really does go a long way!
I would 100% recommend this this new product out, if you're on the look for a new foundation.


What's your current foundation fave?

First Mini-Haul from Revolution MakeUp London

I have seen a lot of fuss about this new drug store brand, Revolution Make-up recently, and was very pleased to see my local Superdrug had started to stock it. 
This brand has been all over twitter and Instagram (I will leave links below) and has been talked about by quite a few infamous bloggers. 
I only picked up a couple of bits, as I was in a rush, and just picked things that caught my eye, however I will be going back as I am desperate to try one of their eye shadow palettes, that look amazing. 
 The first thing I got was a nail varnish in the shade Adore. This is just a really cute purple colour, that I thought would look lovely in the transition from Summer to Autumn. This is quite a deep colour and goes on really well in two coats, leaving a lovely shine, this was £1 and they have a variety of other colours to choose from. 
Next were two eye shadow's, again, I could've grabbed more but didn't really have the time. I picked up a silvery- blue shade, called Frozen (how cute?) and this reminds me of MAC's Electra but for a tenth of the cost. I love this, as an inner corner highlight, or to use with a smoky eye for a more dramatic effect. The next is in the shade Insomnia and is just an amazing glittery dark plum colour, again I thought this would look amazing in Autumn, and Winter too, as its dark but still adds a little sparkle to your eyes. These were both £1 each, and again there are many to choose from. 
Lastly was a cute little blush, in the shade Treat and is just a really cute light orange- coral colour. This is quite orange toned, but looks great on the tops of the cheeks, to give a little colour, perfect for creating that rosy winter cheek, without sticking to the generic pink. This was also £1 is definitely worth the money.
I love the packaging of this new range, its just simple and classic, and good sizes for travelling with, and the best part... If you loose an item, or break something, it doesn't cost a fortune to replace! 


What have you tried from this range?

Topshop High Voltage Nail Varnish

The weather has been on the turn lately, but to keep the summer feel going I decided to try out one of my Topshop nail varnish's I had forgotten about. This is a hot pink one called High Voltage, and it is amazing!
This goes on so bright in one coat, and extra glossy and rich in two, the formula is really lovely as it isn't sticky, or gloopy and it dries with a healthy sheen. 
I just adore this colour for a summer look, to brighten up your nails and yourself, and Topshop are so affordable. 
I would 100% recommend trying out the range, they have so many colours and different types to choose from you're bound to find something you like.
Hint:
I always use a top and base coat to help keep nail strength and keep the polish on without chipping.
I use the OPI range, but there are cheaper alternatives!



What summer colours would you recommend?

First Outfit Post; Holiday Midi Skirt

This kind of post is a first for me, so bare with me as I play around with it. 
I also want to just say, I am not the most confident person with my body size or shape, and there are loads of things I would change, however after reading through one of SprinkleOfGlitter's latest youtube video, and seeing how brave she is, I thought I would give it a go.
Recently I went to Prague on holiday, and quite a few of my friends really liked the outfit I am about to show. 
Its a really simple, yet elegant summer look, perfect for holiday or even just at home when you're going out for lunch etc.


I love the midi skirt, and this has become a staple in my wardrobe, this one is from Primark and only cost me £10, a bargain if you ask me!
I love that its such a girlie colour, that can be teamed with almost any other colour, its a slight waffle effect, with a linen lining underneath, and comes with a brown waisted belt.
I love how light weight this skirt is, and floaty and girlie. ahhh I just love it. The smallest part of me, and my favourite 'body feature' is my waist, as its quite small, and I have an hourglass figure, so this skirt nips in at the waist and flares out to hide the fact I have chunky legs and a big bum.
I teamed this with a light pink shirt, from Dorothy Perkins sale which was £10. Again a gorgeous piece that I have put with loads of other things too.
This is a light flimsy shirt, but not see through, with a panel on the front, to cover the buttons, and a collar. 
This was perfect in the 36 degree heat which I was suffering in in Prague. 

I had cream flip flop sandals on, with gold studding in the middle, and flowers all the strap, these were Primark from a few years ago, but I know they stock similar styles now. They were super comfy to walk in all day, and gave your feet room to breathe in the sweltering heat. 

My accessories consist of a white Primark Satchel, which was £9, and was just perfect. 
It carried everything I needed it to, with extra pockets inside for my phone, lip balm, purse etc, and it was a lovely summer colour. 
I think satchels add a little extra class to any outfit, and they're handy to keep your hands free.

Lastly I had some 60 style sunglasses, also from Primark for £2. I have been after these for ages, and when I found them I was ecstatic. 
These are just cute and girlie, and tied the whole outfit together, especially as it matched colours.




So, just a few snaps, from my holiday to Prague, I hope this gives some style inspiration, and you guys like it.

Wishlist Tag

I have never done one of these before, but I thought seeing as it's coming up to my birthday, I would blog a couple of things I have put on my wishlist, that I would love to get!
I want to make this into a beauty tag, to interact with other blogger's, so at the end I will tag some blog's and hopefully they will get involved. 
Tag: WishlistTag

The first is a MAC product; this is one of the Cremesheen lipsticks, called Creme Cup. A lipstick first introduced to me by VelvetGh0st, in quite a few of her earlier YouTube videos.
I love this, I think its the perfect pink, and I love MAC products. 
The second is a NARS product. I actually don't own any NARS and have been after trying this range for a while, but didn't really know where to start, its a high end brand, and its a lot of money to waste if you don't like it! However I have heard great things about the Laguna Bronzer, so I decided to add this to my list. I reckon this would look lovely in winter to brighten the face, and add contouring too.
 Olivia Burton, is a brand that I have only recently come into contact with, I work in John Lewis at the weekends, and we have started to stock these beautiful watches. I love them, it was really hard to pick one, but I am a massive fan of rose gold, and I think this watch is so elegant and perfect. 


Following on the rose gold theme, comes the Zoeva luxe rose gold brush set. OH EM GEE... I have never fallen in love with anything as much as these.
There's nothing I can say that would do these justice. They're amazing, beautiful rose gold colouring, with all the essential make-up bushed in a cute little pouch.
I am desperate to get these for my birthday!

Now this one, is more of specific buy, I have my University Graduation in November, and not only do I love this cute Ted baker bag, but it would go great with my dress. 
This is a small leather bag, that you can use as a clutch or use the strap to put it on you for hands free. 
It has a cute little bow on the front in rose gold, and is the perfect size to fit all you need in for a night out or special occasion!



Lastly, is the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette. I have seen so many people recently pop up with great things to say about this product, and everytime I read a review, I feel I need it that little bit more. 
This is great, its a bronzer, highloghter and blush all in one. Great for travelling, as you have all three in a handy compact. I just think this would be a lovely product to own, and now that Urban Decay has come to John Lewis, the discount is great on it too! 

So this is my mini wishlist of 6 beautiful items, what would be on yours? 



Blogger's I have Tagged;

Love In my Language Book Review



I recently discovered Alexandra Elle on Instagram, (all places to find her I will leave at the end) after liking a photo, of a quote, very apt to my life at the moment, I decided to check out the rest of her account. I was very pleased, to discover the quote had come from a book, her book, Love in my Language (available on Amazon) and without hesitation I brought it. 

The book is a cute, and very unique take on Love, with poems and writings, exploring love from different angles from the author. From the moment you pick this book up, you are captivated, to its diverse range of rich language, and its exploration into feelings, which many of us can relate to. I love the layout of this book, each page adorned with a different tale, each as empowering as the other, whether its a three lined poem, or a two page story. You cant put the book down, You don't want to put the book down. 

I also liked the simplicity of it all, the black cover, with simple white writing, the non- frilly language, and the amazing idea of having a notes section at the end to 'write your language' spurring you on to believe you too can write your own language for love. 
I enjoyed this book, as it was a light read, I don't read as much as I would like to, and unfortunatley I am someone who is on social media all the time! But this book gave me the relaxing time out I so desperately needed from the real world, and transported me to a world of Love from Alexandra's point of view.
A thoroughly enjoyable read, one in which I think will inspire me for years to come.

Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam

This product, was one I was very sceptical to try, I used to have the dream matte mouse as a foundation when I was about 15 and just starting out with make-up, so I wondered if this was going to be similar, but better (if that makes sense?)
I love this foundation, Its so light and blend-able, its not high coverage, so is great if you want a lighter make-up look, or you're on holiday and want slight coverage. 
It doesn't feel cakey when its on, or clog on the skin, it glides on smoothly and blends really well with either a brush or your fingers. 
The shade range is great, and is suits skin tones well, to give a natural finish, however I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin, as it dries it out further. 
I went for 020 Cameo, because I had that colour when I had the Dream Matte Mouse, which suited me very well. 
I also like that this has a pump, so you don't lose a lot of the product in a glass bottle where it pours out!
The Airfoam is very affordable, and does everything it says; gives a nude perfect finish, using its air infused foundation techniques. 
I would 100% recommend this, if you're starting out with make up, or just want a light coverage foundation, this is perfect for you!

Lush Bath Bomb; Spacegirl

Recently, I have been a little stressed with life, and I have found baths a great help de-stressing. I love Lush Cosmetics, and have quite a little collection of items stored up ready to use.
The latest bath bomb, which I had never tried before was the SpaceGirl bomb, which has instantly become my favourite.
This is shaped like a spaceship, and is purple and pink with hints of glitter all over it, and it smells divine.
I simply popped it in while my bath was running, and let it do its magic.
The bomb, dispersed giving off a beautiful girlie sweet smell, perfect for relaxing in. It then mixed in with the water to create a beautiful fuchsia pink colour.
This is a lovely bomb, as it leaves you feeling squeaky clean, and is cute to relax in as well as beautifully smelling to ensure your bath is so heavenly you don't want to get out.. just what I've needed!






(Please excuse my rubber duck)

Lush do a fantastic range of bath bombs, you're sure to fins one you like.
What one's would you guys recommenced for me to try next?

Daisy Dream

So Marc Jacobs, have done it again... brought out a new fragrance that I have fallen in love with.
Daisy Dream is a gorgeous new Eau de toilette perfume, perfect for lighter weather. 
This is a light, sweet, fruity fragrance, that although is all these things, its very strong smelling, and last's on the skin. Usually with light fragrances they don't last long and often fade quickly. But with Daisy Dream, this is definitely not the case. 
To me this smells of strawberries, and is just beautiful, I would use this as an everyday fragrance, or if I was going out for a meal or on a date (its perfect for dates).
The bottle and packaging, is just so classic, and elegant. With its pale blue box, and liquid, adorned with cute white and gold daisy's, this is the perfect addition to any dressing table. 
Not only has Marc Jacobs brought the fragrance out, he has also given us some extra's too, in the form of a shower gel and a body cream, perfect for gifts or a little treat for yourself.
And the best part is the pricing, its so affordable. 
Buy here: 




Have you had any Marc Jacobs fragrances? What's your favourite?

Essie's Fiji

When it's summer, we all know we want lovely summer nails, right?
And one of my staple, and favourite colours of all time is an Essie polish in the shade Fiji.
I love this colour, you can buy them from the drug store, and they retail for £7.99, which for a nail varnish this good, is nothing!
This is a pink toned white, and looks great after just two coats. It goes on really smoothly and last's ages, without chipping, of course that is with a top coat. 
I just love this colour for the summer, its so fun and girlie, and looks effortlessly chic. With a colour this light, its great to add a glitter over the top, to add that instant sparkle, and creativity in minutes. 
All the Essie range are fantastic, the colours are beautiful and the formula is really nice. 



I would 100% recommend this, if you're looking for a pretty girlie colour, that steps away from the normal pinks and purples.

Healthy Snack Inspiration

Now that the nice weather has actually arrived, and it's starting to really feel like summer, it's the perfect time to get healthy snacking and take advantage of eating fruit. 
I am on a bit of a health kick at the minute, and I am trying to eat better, and drink more water, and so far I'm not doing too bad. However, I am a serial snacker, and I am a bordem eater, which now I am home from university, I find myself bored a lot of the time. But I am making a conscious effort to swap the crisps for fruit and vegetables... and these are two of my favourite snacks.
I love making fruit salads. They're so versatile, you can put any fruit in and mix it up any way. 
In this case I used banana, Strawberries and Grapes, and sprinkled with some Canderel (a lot fat sugar). This is so quick and easy, and is actually really filling, as you feel like you're eating more than you are, especially if you eat it slowly. 
The beauty of this, is that you can use almost anything, for instance, low fat Greek yoghurt, a sprinkle of honey, or even a meringue nest, which are really low in fat. 


One of my other favourite snacks is carrot sticks and dip. I literally go on a binge of these sometimes, like I actually worry I may wake up orange haha!
This literally takes 5 minutes, and again is so versatile, with what dip you could use.
All you need is to peel the carrot and then cut them into stick like shapes, and add a little dish of dip. 
My personal favourites are Low Fat Salad Cream or Sour Cream and Chive dip, or Humus.
This is great for when you are studying and need a little snack to get you through that dreaded essay, or great for when you have some friends over and you want to mix it up from the traditional crisps, nuts or pizza. 



Don't forget to drink lots of water too, it really does make a difference to every aspect of your body, including lovely healthy skin.




What are your favourite healthy snacks? 




Spring/ Summer Easy Hairstyle

What is it with British weather? One minute its thunder storming and the next we're having a heatwave! All girls know that coping with a lot of hair in this weather really isn't fun or easy. So I've created this really simple look, for the warmer weather. Its just really fun and girlie, and keeps your hair off your face. 
All I did was slightly curl my hair using a pair of GHD's, which takes about 5 minutes, and spray through some hairspray, I've been particularly liking the Tresemme firm hold spray. 
Then take the top half of your hair, making sure to scoop the sides, so nothing is on your face, you want to make this look quite messy, so don't flatten the top down too much to fit in the clip. 
Then take any kind of clip, I used this cute pink bow from Dorothy Perkins and placed central in the back of my head. 
I then resprayed with a little more hairspray, scrunched any hair, to make it look effortlessly wavy and job done! 

What summer hair tips have you guys got?

Bloglovin

Hey guys, I have just joined the marvellous BlogLovin, a great way to find new and exciting Blogs, with all things that interest you! I would be really grateful if you guys would follow me on there, or suggest me blog's you guys love. If you're new then definitely go and check it out! 



SEVENTEEN Blemish BB Balm


The first BB balm I have ever purchased, and I am quite impressed. I've been on the hunt for a blemish balm for the summer and I thought I would give this one a go. 
This is the Seventeen BB skincare and is great for lighter coverage. It's great for the summer where you don't want to wear much make-up or even have a tan. 
However, the shade range isn't fantastic, and it can feel quite heavy on the skin. Other than that for the price it does what it says, and it helps even skin tone, covers imperfections and helps oil control. I also really like that its SPF 25, which really makes a difference in the sun. 
I would recommend this if you suffer from oily skin, but I wouldn't recommend this for pale skin as it comes out quite dark. 

What other Blemish Balms would you guys suggest? 

The Body Shop Honeymania Lip Balm


I never used to use lip balms, as luckily most of the year my lips don't suffer. But for the occasions they do, this lip balm works wonders. 
This is the Body Shop Lip balm in Honey, and this is like a little pot of lip heaven. It smells amazing, it has that sweet, honey smell without being too overpowering or too smelly. 
Its got a really nice consistency and isn't sticky on your lips or fingers, once you've applied it. 
I love that it's in a handy little pot, that is not only cute, but fits perfectly in any handbag, or make-up bag.

MUA Heaven and Earth Palette


This is the MUA Heaven and Earth palette, and I have to confess this now, I love it! This is my second purchase, as I used up my favourite colour, and was really quick to rush out and re-buy it.
This is a beautiful eye-shadow palette with all gorgeous neutral shades, perfect for a light day wear or a heavier night look. The brush it comes with isn't very good, and normally I use a Real Techniques Eye-shadow brush, to get the best of the colours.
This palette is highly pigmented and all shades are full of shine and glimmer. And the best part is... its only £4!!! A real bargain if you ask me.

MAC Limited Edition Buttercream Pearlmatte Face Powder


Recently, I've been on the hunt for a good face powder, and after stumbling on this limited edition gem at an airport I couldn't resist buying it.
This is the MAC pink buttercream pearlmatte face powder and it is beautiful. If you're looking for a powder that is light in coverage but does the trick of getting rid of any shine then this is for you. It's beautiful girlie flower design and it's classic MAC packaging make this the prettiest edition to your make-up collection!
I gently dust this powder all over my face, and any dewy patches, and put a little extra on the tops of my cheek bones for a little subtle highlight. It's just perfect.

What powders would you guys recommend?

Real Techniques Brush Collection

For the last 6 months I have been really getting into makeup tools and different brushes, and after some 'research' into what brands to buy, I decided a great starting point would be the Real techniques brushes, and how right I was.

I own 7 brushes from this collection, that I have collected over the last 8 months, and I will definitely continue to expand my collection. I wanted to write a little post, just showing the ones I have and reviewing them, to give others ideas and guidance on brilliant make up brushes that anyone can use.
The real techniques powder brush, priced at £12.99, this brush is amazing, its a large sized brush, which is quite fluffy, and powders the face instantly, I simply run this across my powder and lightly brush across my face, it takes away any shine, and because of the size it takes seconds to cover a large area of the face with powder, worth investing if you are a big powder fan.
I also own the expert face brush, which I use for my foundation. This brush is priced at £9.99, and is the best brush, in my opinion from the range. I simply apply some foundation on the back of my hand, dip the brush in and apply, buffing it around my face. This brush has short bristles and captures the foundation brilliantly, it adds great coverage and the foundation goes on flawlessly, using this brush makes applying foundation so effortless, its great if you're running late in the mornings.
The setting brush, is something I have only recently purchased, and I use this for contouring and highlighting on my cheeks. This is priced at £8.99, and has so many uses its amazing, this has a small brush, with thin bristles and is perfect for intricate detailing. I simply dip into my bronzer and sweep onto my cheeks to contour, and blend with the brush, then I use it to highlight the apples of my cheeks, I have also used this to blend in concealer under my eyes. This brush is so amazing, I would 100% recommend this. 
Next is the Blush brush, I like this brush, but its my least favourite from the ones I have. this is also £9.99 and is a large fluffy brush perfect for blush. The only negative point about this brush, is its not that stiff, so you have to really push the brush onto the powder, for it to pick up anything, however when you apply it to your cheeks, it goes on smoothly, and quickly.
Lastly, is the shading brush, I have three of these, I use for different colours, or brands of eye shadows I have. This brush is brilliant for applying eye shadow, it glides the shadow on easily leaving the eyes looking perfect in any light, it has thick plush bristles, which allows you to blend the colours easily and smooth the eyeshadow out. This is priced at £8.99 and is such a bargain.

Have you guys got any of the Real Techniques brushes?

Mini review; Hollister body spray

I brought my first ever Hollister spray about 4 months ago, and It sat in the bag for ages, before I finally got it out and decided I needed to start using it, and I'm glad I did.
I brought the Hollister Tidelands Beach body mist, and it is amazing, they usually have an offer where you can buy 3 bottles for £21, which me and my sister did, so this only cost me £7. I use it quite a lot now, and it looks like I have hardly touched it. It has such a sweet floral smell, with a hint of strawberry, and lasts on you for ages, I sometimes spray it on my clothes and they smell sweet for ages too. I really would recommend checking this and the others in the range out, it is definitely worth the price and always makes me think of summer! What can be better than that?

First E.L.F Cosmetic's Haul

Hey guys, so lately I have been getting into watching different YouTubers than just sticking to the two or three I religiously watch, and one in particular BeccaRose use's a lot of E.L.F products in her tutorials, so I thought I would have a look on their website. I couldn't believe how affordable the brand is, I only got a couple of things just to try out, to see whether I like E.L.F or not, so I thought I would do a mini haul/review.
The first thing I brought was the matte eye shadow in the shade #D29, this comes in a little pot, with a small brush applicator. This is a nice nude colour, great to use as a base or just for a quick tool if you're running out of time to apply full make-up. This is a matte eye shadow that has no shimmer but is still really pigmented, which was £.188
 I also ordered the eyelid primer in the shade sheer, this is just a creme, clear formula used for priming the eyes before applying eye shadow, it locks in the shadow and works and making it last longer on the lids and making the colour much more pigmented. This retails for £1.50, and comes in a variety of shades.
I find it really difficult to find my favourite concealer which is the lasting perfection one by collection, it seems to sell out everywhere, so I thought I would try one from this range as a sort of back-up when I cant find my favourite. This is the Tone Correcting concealer in the shade Ivory, and this was £1.50.
Next was the Waterproof eyeliner pen in the shade Plum, which is a nice deep purple colour, I always think its nice to go for something other than black, and purple, for me, is still quite a safe colour without being to bold. This goes on very smoothly and last's for ages, even better that its waterproof, and cost £1.50.
Lastly, the product I am most looking forward to using, is the Make-up mist and set, which has Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A,C & E. This is in a handy sized bottle, great for your handbag and travelling, especially in hot countries where your make-up needs help to set. This just sprays on the face and keeps your make-up looking fresh the whole day, and this was £3.75.
I am really looking forward to properly trying out these products, and hopefully I have found another Make-up brand I will go back to, because I love their products.

Have any of you used E.L.F products? If so what did you think?
