Why TopShop Beauty is the Best

Whenever I go into Topshop, I will always have at least two beauty items at the end, without fail. So today I thought was the perfect opportunity to tell you why I love it so much.

LIP BULLETS

LIP STICKS

BLUSHERS

There are 3 main reasons why I love TopShop Beauty more than other clothing shops makeup;

1.Packaging: It's so cute and photogenic but apart from appearance, it's so lightweight. The Lipstick packaging is made of metal so that the lipstick doesn't melt so much in the summer as it would in plastic packaging. The Blushers are extra lightweight but are well made and they come with a compact mirror so they are great for traveling. TopShop do lip bullets which are slimline and don't have any extra packaging then necessary.

2.Formulation of the lipsticks is incredible because they are so long lasting, also the creme blushers particularly are great for in the summer months because the oils from my face don't eat the product up.  

3. The Scent is amazing because... it doesn't have one! I like my makeup not to have a scent to them because if they are all different and then they all mix and nobody want's that now do they?

Have you tried any TopShop Makeup? What are your thoughts? 

The Perfect Red Lipstick, That Won't Cost You An Arm And A Leg

Hands up if you find it overly hard to find the ''Perfect Red Lipstick''? Yeah, me too. Alas, look no further, I have the answer for you...

Of course it was going to be from L'Oreal. Oh how I love that brand! This lipstick adds to my every growing collection of red lipstick, but Blake's Red is P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Let me break it down for you;

The scent is incredible. I am a huge fan of parma violets and it honestly baffles me how anyone couldn't love them, however if you don't like that scent then I would void this whole collection.

Packaging is beautiful, some of my lipsticks have lids were it smushs  the actual product therefore making it 10x harder to use in the morning, however the packaging for this product is designed so that the product never happens because it has a little cut out so that it closes nicely. Also the lid is tailored to the same shape as the bullet.

A struggle I always find when looking for the perfect red lipstick is that the pigmentation and formulation never go hand in hand. L'Oreal Colour Riche Collection have definitely fixed this problem, the actual colour of Blake's' Red is very dense and opaque, that being said in no way does this product sit heavy on the lips and is long lasting also.

Makeup Starter Kit

Hi again everyone, so today I thought it would be nice to talk about a Makeup Starter Kit and I know that when I first started liking makeup, a blog post like this would have been a real cheat sheet so lets begin...

SOURCE

The way that I'm going to write this post is in the way you would apply your makeup. So naturally I'm going to start with base.

Firstly you may want a primer. What a primer's many jobs is, is to act as a barrier for your skin so that the makeup doesn't clog up your pores. Another job of a primer is to fill in your pores and ensure your makeup stays on all day. I recommend the following:

Maybelline Baby Skin

Max- Factor Face Infinity 

L'Oreal  Infallible 24hr Matte

After primer you will need either a foundation or a a BB cream. A foundation tends to be of a higher coverage so if you feel like you want to cover more I would suggest these foundations:

Rimmel Match Perfection 

L'Oreal True Match 

L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Matte

However if you want a lighter base then I recommend:

Bourjois Paris BB Bronzing Cream 8-in-1

L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB

Rimmel BB Cream 9 in 1 Makeup

To set everything in place I would recommend using the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

For Bronzing and Highlighting I would recommend the sleek contour kit which also includes a blusher.

For brows I would recommend trying out quite a few things first but my favorite to use is the MUA eyeshadow in penny.

Eyeshadows are really hard to recommend but the Flawless Matte Palette from Makeup Revolution is such a good deal for money. You get 32 really high quality, well pigmented, blendable eyeshadows for just £8

Depending on what look you are going for I would recommend the following Mascara's:

Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara
Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara
Revlon Fabulash Mascara

Lastly for lipsticks I would recommend checking out the MUA stand as most are just £1
