Favourite drugstore matte lip products

Hey everyone,

I've definitely needed to cheer things up with a bit of colour lately as the weather here in England is cold, dark and miserable. I tend to wear much bolder, brighter colours in the winter to brighten things up a bit so I thought I'd share my current faves

Sigma dry n shape review - show your brushes some love!

I'm ashamed to say that I'm one of those people who doesn't wash their makeup brushes enough. I use a brush sanitizer spray to keep them free of bacteria but I don't give them a full wash as often as I should.

It may be partly down to laziness but as I use them every day I actually find it difficult being able to wash and dry them before I need to use them again. I discovered the sigma dry n shape online quite some time ago but it's one of those items I never got around to buying so I was thrilled when my mum bought it for me for my birthday

Zoeva makeup tote Zoe bag - review

I've been looking for the perfect travel makeup bag for years. I usually have one bag for makeup, one for toiletries and another for brushes. I've found a few that have come close to being right and that work for a weekend trip but I have never found anything that fits everything in that I need for a two week vacation.

Then I discovered the makeup tote Zoe bag from Zoeva and my search is finally over. This is the best travel makeup bag I have ever seen! Can you tell that I love it just a little bit :)

Multitasking makeup - Sleek face form

Lately I've been searching for any products that do more than one job or are super compact for travelling. Whenever I go on vacation I seem to end up with way too many products that take up valuable luggage space.

My latest find, the face form palette from sleek is a blush, highlighter and bronzer for contouring all in one. Sleek face form in the shade 'light'.

Urban Decay Naked palette review with swatches

A few weeks ago I finally purchased the Urban Decay Naked2 palette I'd been eyeing for a while and within a few days I'd ordered the original naked palette too. I was so impressed with the pigmentation of the shadows that I was instantly hooked! I wasn't planning on buying the Naked3 as it has more rose and pink type shades which don't suit me as much but I have a feeling the urge to complete the set will force me to get it anyway :) The original and Naked2 palettes really do live up to the hype in my opinion.
