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 have already done two battle of the dupes blog posts this round using these two brands, if you want to read them then click below: BATTLE OF THE DUPES #26: The Inkey List vs. The Ordinary BATTLE OF THE DUPES #30: The Inkey List vs. The Ordinary PACKAGING (The Inkey List): Plastic bottle housed in a cardboard box. PACKAGING (The Ordinary): The glass bottle with pipette is housed in a cardboard box. CLAIMS (The Inkey List): Targets breakouts Minimises pores Decongests confu

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. PACKAGING (OPI): OPI signature glass bottle with a plastic lid. INGREDIENTS (Nails Inc): Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Polyester-23, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Isopropyl Alcohol, CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE), Stearalkonium Bentonite, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl.

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. CLAIMS (The Inkey List): Chemical exfoliant containing Lactic Acid, a natural AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) derived from maize that helps to loosen and remove dead skin cells from skin's surface 10% lactic acid for mild ex

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 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

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 have mentioned a few times (I think) that my favourite nail polish is Essie in Fiji, it's a really nice colour on pale skin tones as well as dark, I saw that there is an OPI dupe for it (according to Pinterest) and I have that shade in my collection so thought I would put them to the test. Prepped my nails prior to painting them by filing, buffing and pushing my cuticles back. First coat is patchy. Second coat and both still patchy. Third coat and the Essie is a solid colou

I thought this Nails Inc shade was limited edition but it turns out that it's not, I got this in a magazine I have buffed and filed my nails as well as paint my nails with a base coat (CND Creative Play 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 alphabeti

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

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
