GET READY WITH ME: Post Lockdown Night Out
I went out on Friday with some old work colleagues and thought I would share with you what I did to get ready. I have tried to link as many products as possible, they are not affiliate links, I don't earn anything from sharing these. Wednesday 14th August 2020 Fake Tan: Bondi Sands Aero Aerated Tanning Foam - I have done a first impressions blog post, click here to see what I thought then but let's just say I like it even more.

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #20: Morphe vs. Zoeva
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

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #14: Benefit vs. W7
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

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #6: Benefit vs. wet n wild
In 2016 Benefit Cosmetics sold a Hoola Bronzer every 10 seconds and in 2019 they expanded this to range to having four shades now but I saw people putting up dupes on social media for the original bronzer so I thought I would put one of them to the test which is the wet n wild MegaGlo Contouring Palette. I got my Benefit product in a Christmas gift set so when compare the products below and link the product I will be linking the original sized Hoola. wet n wild has only just

Makeup Collection 2018 #Blogmas2018
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

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #3: Benefit vs. Maybelline
All over Pinterest and Instagram I had seen people say that Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is a dupe of Benefit POREfessional so I though I would put it to the test myself especially as I love using the Benefit primer and if I can find a cheaper alternative then that would be brilliant. Also the day that I tried the primer out was a busy day, I had to work for a few hours and then headed to a park for a friend's birthday with the family and all of this was on a hot
