I am a nosy person and love seeing into people's makeup collections so it is only fair I share mine and if you want to see what my collections were like in 2018 , 2019 and 2020 then click the year. Now my room has had a little rejig and it is not finished yet and as you will be able to see that the three old IKEA Moppe drawers that I painted is just not doing it, my collection is growing so much and I do regularly clear them out but it just grows too much. After this writin

I wanted to battle the two skincare brands out against each other. PACKAGING (The Inkey List): A very basic box but that seems to be their signature look with a tiny plastic bottle. PACKAGING (The Ordinary): Another simple box with a glass bottle with a pipette.

All over the internet or social media you will see two skincare brands showing off and I thought I would battle them out.

I did a makeup collection blog post for the last two years so thought I would share this years, now if you would like to read previous years they were 2018 and 2019.

Drawer Set #1: Top Right This drawer is my foundation drawer: Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation (Warm Porcelain) Bourjois City Radiance™ Foundation (01 Rose Ivory) Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (51 Light Vanilla) - old version

I did this blog in 2018 and 2019 so had to make sure 2020 was done. These products I am using are my favourites, throughout the year I try new products for my blog posts but definitely go back to all of these things products if I am not trying anything out. Cleanser #1 Product: CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with Salicylic Acid I like to double cleanse so the first one is to take the makeup off, I use my Liz Earle Cloth to remove it, also I would like to thank Caroline Hirons

Now you might know that one of my favourite foundations is one from it Cosmetics which I did a blog post on it; REVIEW: IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ and have repurchased the minis in my shade as well as other shades for when I tan and even bought the full size in my natural colour (Casper the ghost shade). I saw on Instagram @dupeboss this post (click here to see it) so as I have just done a blog post on that product FIRST IMPRESSION: Revolution

I had purchased the Zoeva eyebrow product to try out and noticed that NYX have a skinny eyebrow pencil so thought maybe these could be dupes. PACKAGING (NYX): NYX comes with the plastic around it so nobody can use it but otherwise it's a normal looking eyebrow product. PACKAGING (Zoeva): Zoeva's comes in a box but otherwise the actual product looks like every other eyebrow product. CLAIMS ( NYX ): Build full beautiful brows with our ultra-thin Micro Brow Pencil. So precise, i

I had seen on social media that Zoeva has a few dupes with Morphe so thought I would try it out. I have been purchasing more and more eye brushes so let's see if these are dupes. PACKAGING (Morphe): The eyeshadow brush came in a pouch plus plastic slip packaging, I like the pouch, I probably put eyeshadow brushes in it when I travel so its more organised or put dirty ones in when I have used them on holiday. PACKAGING (Zoeva): The makeup brush comes in a plastic slip packagin

I had these two in my collection and thought 'oh, are these a dupe?' so I put them to the test. PACKAGING ( Essie ): I am a bit OCD when it comes to my nail polish, I love the squared/rectangular packaging because they store easier and nicer. PACKAGING (OPI): OPI's packaging isn't bad, the bottle looks sleek and is well known as OPI. CLAIMS (Essie): Provides flawless coverage along with outstanding durability Brush fits every nail size for streak-free application Intense rich

For years I have been using MAC Face & Body foundation but when I saw on @dupeboss Instagram post saying that NYX Total Control Drop Foundation is a dupe for MAC Face & Body. If you would like to see the post then click here . Now the shades aren't dupes, it's the actual consistency that is the dupe apparently. I did a blog post recently on the NYX foundation: FIRST IMPRESSIONS: NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Drop Foundation . PACKAGING (MAC): The MAC comes in a matte

I love Benefit They're Real mascara and saw all over social media but it's an article on Cosmopolitan: It's a face off: Luxury vs budget mascaras that was written back in 2016 when Benefit was cheaper, so if W7 have a dupe for Benefit then I will swap it over and get a cheaper alternative. PACKAGING ( Benefit ): The packaging is plastic however I am not sure if the hand is metal, it feels better than the W7. PACKAGING (W7): W7 feels cheaper than the Benefit one but looks ver

I love being nosy in other people collection now before we start most of this makeup I have purchased myself with my money, they were either gifted by family and friends for special occasions like birthdays and Christmas and then there is some that I have swapped with my sister. The drawers are from IKEA called MOPPE, they sell skinnier versions now but these aren't available anymore. Drawer Set #1 - Top Left Drawer I haven't shown you this drawer because it's just face masks

I shared the daily evening skincare routine last year and thought I would share this years, I have changed a few things and use a few different products but just to let you know these are my favourites at the moment, I am always trying new products out. Before you read this just remember I am not a specialist, this works for me and I know people will think it's wrong but like I say it works for me and it may work for yourself.

I was clearing out my makeup drawers and saw this mascara and remember loving it when I first tried it out so thought I would put it to the test again and see if I still love it. CLAIMS: Waterproof formula provides much needed moisture to prevent lash brittleness Long-lasting technology will not smear, smudge or rub off Contains a mixture of natural botanical and scientific ingredients to help keep colour on and protect lashes Before we start I thought I would mention that I

Last year I tried this foundation by NYX, I gave it a 4 out of 5 because it sunk into my fine lines but otherwise it was okay, now my skin is in a better condition right now, I still have dry skin but not as dry as it used to be. CLAIMS: Enhance the appearance of silky smooth skin. Achieve a picture-perfect look any time you're in the spotlight. You can see I have had a bit of a breakout on my forehead so I have texture but my skin is not as dry as normal. Coverage is buildab

If you are a loyal blog reader you will know that I love one mascara and that is Benefit They're Real! so I have been trying a few more mascaras and tried this one a while ago so thought I would retry it. CLAIMS: Curving Volumising Lasts 16 Hours My eyelashes right now are short. One coat of mascara and my eyelashes look more defined. Coat number two and I quite like the way my eyelashes look, they are defined and volumised. Applied the rest of my makeup and just to let you k
