Points Haul

Who doesn't love having a look at their Boots/Superdrug card points and noticing that you have a good few saved up!? I blooming love it and today decided to go spend the points which I'd saved. Here's what I managed to pick up;

• L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara- I've been wanting to get my hands on this mascara since it came out so I was very excited to see L'oreal had 3 for 2 in Superdrug at the moment so this was the first item I picked up
• L'oreal Nude Magique Eau De Tint Foundation- I used a tested which I got in a magazine of this and LOVED how light it felt on my skin
• L'oreal Lumi Magique Hightlighting Pen- to complete my 3 for 2 I picked this up to try as my much loved Touch Eclat has run out
• Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Styling Gel- I've been longing after the Benefit Brow Gel for a good while but wanted to try a cheaper one first to see if it would be a product I would use to step up Rimmel!
• VO5 Plump It Up- I needed a heat defence and noticed that this one mentioned it adds volume and thickness too! Multi-purpose product, I'm on it!

So that is my mini haul using points...now I just need to save some more! Anyone tried any of these products? Let me know if you want a review on any of my new additions!

Favourite Foundation Brush

Now I'm fairly new to the make-up brush game so I have only got experience with cheap ones from ebay and the beautiful Real Techniques collection. I've bought a few of the Real Techniques brushes individually but recently I got my hands on the 'Core Collection' set and have found my new favourite brush for applying foundation. Introducing the Buffing Brush! 

This brush applies foundation lightly and allows you to really buff it into the skin (hence the name!). I have tried a few different brushes for foundation in my time and because I really like my foundation to blend into my skin and look as if it isn't there I have never found a brush which really achieves this...until now. Below are all the face products I've used this brush with and have found brilliant results with them all!

Before I got the Buffing Brush I would use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush which I also really enjoy for applying foundation but I prefer the Buffing Brush now due to the lighter coverage it gives.

Like all brushes in the Real Techniques range you get great quality at a low price and that is why they are my go to whenever I'm in brush need. I would recommend these brushes to anyone, especially those who are starting out with brushes as they are so effortless to use and give great results everytime.

Anyone got any other favourite brushes?

Benefit Posie Tint Lip & Cheek Stain

My love for Benefit is nothing of a secret. From their quirky packaging to amazing products I really can't fault them and their 'Posie Tint' lip and cheek stain is no exception. 

I have quite a few of these mini's including another blush colour and 2 highlighters. Although I have always known they're great products it's only recently that I started using Posie Tine on a daily basis and fell in love with it. 

On the cheeks it gives the most natural appearance and beautiful flush of colour. Because it's a liquid it gives such a dewy and glowy finish that just gives the whole face a healthy look. I don't use it on the lips as although it feels like a nice lipgloss it just doesn't give much colour but the Bene Tint version does gives more colour for the lips as it's a deeper red. 

All in all I love this and think it's the perfect travel partner as it's small in size but big in performance!

M I A

Hey lovelies! 

I feel my posts have been lacking recently and I feel like I should address why. I am currently traveling around New Zealand and still have a week to go. It's been a crazy adventure so far which has left me exhausted by the end of every night. I've also managed to pick up a cold (typical!) so haven't been feeling too great either. Put these both together and you have no blogging going on. 

I do apologise for this and I have missed doing it but fear not...I have one free day out of my entire time in New Zealand coming up and I'm determined to get one up then so please bare with! Once my travels here are done I'm heading back to Australia and will be traveling around there before heading home. This may mean that posts will continue to be few and far spread for the next couple of months but once I'm home I'll be on it and bombarding you all with posts (not really...maybe just weekly?!) 

Thanks for reading
