My Everyday Makeup Routine - MAC, urban decay, Loreal, benefit and more

Hello beauty lovers I hope you are all doing well, I thought that I would share with you my everyday makeup products and routine, its super easy to achieve and doesn't take too long which is great for all you girlies with a busy lifestyle or even a little monster to look after like me.

Starting off with the face the first thing that I do is moisturise as I do suffer from super dry patches on my face in addition to having oily skin in general. The next thing I apply to my face is my favourite primer and the moment which is the L'Oreal mattifying face primer, this is perfect for those of you who have oily skin and enlarge pores, as I feel that this primer keeps me from looking like a disco ball, but is also smooths out my skin and reduces the look of my pores. I addition to using the L'Oreal primer I also apply a pea size amount of benefit porefessional just when I have enlarge pores to reduce them even more, After doing this it gives me a smooth and hydrating base to slap my face makeup on, which makes it not only look better but also last longer well in my opinion it does.

Benefit Rollerlash review with before and after pictures

I know this review is late but I suppose its better late than never lol but I have about 8 mascaras that I am using at the moment, and I hate opening too many mascaras at once as they end up drying up before I get a chance to use them properly, But I couldn't wait any longer so I decided to use it today. I am currently using the sample size mascara that I received for free in Elle magazine, so the packaging inst as pretty as the full size mascara but none of the less its still cute. 

How Much Is My Face Worth

I have seen many beauty bloggers doing the "how much is my face worth" lately and thought that it was such a  good and fun idea to do it too, as I do use a variety of both high-end and drugstore makeup products in my everyday routine and was very intrigue as to what my total would be.

Moisturiser johnsons baby lotion - £2.79

Primer benefit porefessional - £24.50

Foundation MAC studio fix fluid - £21.50

Face setting Mac studio fix - £21.50

Under eye setting powder Rimmel stay matte - £3.99

Concealer Collection lasting perfection - £4.19

Eyeshadows - Naked palette £38.00

Liquid Eyeliner Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner - £7.99

Mascara Urban Decay Perversion Mascara - £17.50

Highlighter Mary Lou Manizer - £17.50

Blusher Mac Desert Rose - £18

Bronzer Bobbi brown bronzing powder 3 - £28

Eyebrows Collection Eyebrow Kit - £3.99

Lipliner  Mac Soar - £12.50

Lipstick Mac Velvet Teddy - £15.50

Total £237.45

OMG!!! I  am seriously shocked at the total as I wasn't expecting it to be this much, and it has really made me think about how much money I spend on makeup, However I think one good thing is that I am actually using my makeup and not hoarding it so its not a complete waste of money and it is what works with my skin best and makes me happy.

Elle Magazine Freebie!

Hello beauty lovers I hope you are all doing well, I thought that I would do a quick post about what I discovered today in ASDA. So you will hardly ever find me reading magazines unless I am in the hairdressers and still then I am just flicking through looking at the pictures. However if you are a beauty bargain hunter and love benefit products like me, than you should pick up the march issue of Elle magazine as you will receive a FREE!!! benefit roller lash mascara that hasn't even be sold by benefit yet, therefore if you want to try out this mascara first then make sure to pick it up, it should be sold in most supermarkets and retails at £4. The mascara claims to be a super curling and lifting mascara because of the shape and design of the brush, and the packaging looks amazing.
