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 saw these two nail polishes on my dresser and thought I would see whether or not they are matching, a dupe. PACKAGING (Nails Inc): Squared/rectangle glass bottle with plastic lid.

All over the internet if you look for a Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara dupe you will see this mascara is mentioned. CLAIMS (L'Oréal): Enriched with las-loving Castor Oil Intense, volumised lashes Flake-free formula Ultra-soft brush makes it easy to apply Feather-soft, longer-looking fluttery lashes CLAIMS (Too Faced): Stretches, lengthens, and curls lashes for extreme volume without flaking!

All over the internet or social media you will see two skincare brands showing off and I thought I would battle them out. PACKAGING (The Inkey List): Simple clip open bottle lid inside a cardboard box PACKAGING (The Ordinary): Plastic bottle with two different lids, one normal lid and then a twist spout lid also come inside a cardboard box although I don't have a picture of it because I have had this product for a while CLAIMS (The Inkey List): Enriched with 10% glycolic acid

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 Left This drawer is my mask drawer so won't show in there. 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 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 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. Cleanse: Sanctuary Spa Foaming Micellar Cleansing

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

Back in July I tried this mascara and gave it a rating of 2 out of 5, I know some of my mascaras are better once it's been opened so maybe this mascara will be better once it has been opened for a while. CLAIMS: Gives lashes a beautiful Clump-free volume, from first to last use Perfect everyday volume Use the Volume Defining brush to load bare lashes with a generous coat of volumising formula to build beautiful natural-looking volume. If you hate to throw away half-used masca

I found two photos of my nails and thought they looked similar so I have decided to see if they are dupes. I have buffed and filed my nails as well as paint my nails with a base coat. Now before I start I will explain how I am going to do this so I didn't think it would be fair to paint one hand with one nail polish and the other with the other nail polish because I am right handed so I generally get more wear and tear on them so going alphabetical with brands I will start on

A couple of years ago MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy was a big hit, everybody was wearing it and I remember that it was hard to get your hands on so Pinterest was covered in dupe pictures so I thought I would put one to the test. My lips are in a decent state, I suffer with dry skin and dry lips but today was a good lip day. I applied on my right (left in the picture) the MAC lipstick on half of my lips and on my left (right in the picture) the wet n wild lipstick. It was easie

It is sad to say that the founder of The Ordinary has sadly passed away, I am not writing this because of him. CLAIMS: Full coverage Lightweight Smooth, perfected and semi-matte finish Lasts all day without settling into fine lines HOW TO USE: Shake before use Dispense a small amount into the palm or the back of your hand Smooth on and blend throughout the face Ideally outward from the midpoint of the face When I first tried this foundation I said I would need to use a moistu

Back in May I tried The Ordinary Coverage Foundation for a blog post and when I purchased that foundation I tried to purchase this one but my shade wasn't available and FINALLY they have my shade in. CLAIMS: lightweight medium-coverage formulations looks natural with a very lightweight serum feel resist collecting within fine lines and stay on for longer offer a semi-matte finish HOW TO USE: Shake before use.  Dispense a small amount into the palm or the back of your hand.  S

My Dad tells me I have too much makeup, I have cleared some out but I love playing with makeup and putting together different looks. The way I have stored these are with three old IKEA Moppe drawers that I painted, you can get smaller versions of them still but I wish they still did this side. I am going to through each set of drawers plus each drawer, I thought I would mention that I am not a professional makeup artist, everything I know I have either self taught or watched
