mini makeup haul - E.L.F, Revlon, Bourjois, Rimmel and loreal

I know I am supposed to be on a spending ban so that I can help contribute to saving a deposit for a house but when It comes to makeup I just cant help myself, I seriously feel like I am addicted to buying makeup and I need to start going to a shoppers anonymous if that even exists haha. Anyway back to what I was saying if you have seen my last post foundations empties, I was really in need of some new foundations therefore I when straight onto fragrance direct as I know that I can get foundations from there for 1/3 of the price and I love saving money and finding bargains, therefore I 100% recommend this website and the postage and packaging was £1.99.

On fragrance direct I picked up Revlon Colourstay whipped creme foundation for £3.99, Bourjois Bio Detox organic foundation for £1.99 and Rimmel clean finish foundation for £2.99, I feel that I got these foundations for a considerably cheap price which means that I have more money to spend on limited edition MAC.

I also made a shopping trip to town the same day as I couldn't find my favourite foundation in the right shade at fragrance direct which is the Revlon colourstay (but not the the whipped formula which I purchased from fragrance direct). However while picking up my foundation in boots they had the 3 for 2 deal on so I also picked up the L'Oreal infallible mattifyling primer and the L'Oreal miss manga mega volume mascara as I have heard so many youtubers and blogger rave on about this mascara, such a Sammi from beauty crush who is amazing I love her videos, all these 3 items came to £21 and was purchase from Boots.

While shopping I received an email from E.L.F Cosmetics saying that they had a huge sale on and that items were up to 70% off so I went straight onto their website to have a browser, however they were having a big sale because they were actually closing down, I am so genuinely upset about this as I have really been loving elf, so I decided just to get a back up of my E.L.F foundation in the shade almond and try out the cream blushers because I thought that they looked pretty, I cant believe these are the first ever cream blushers I have ever brought and I cant wait to try them out and review them for you, but that was all they really had left on the website. I will be posting a review on these products when I get to use them a bit to get a good idea whether I like them or not. Also my next post will be what clothing item I brought the same day so keep tuned lol.

Have you seen my last post Empties - foundations would I repurchase

Beauty Tips and tricks Tuesday - Mascara

hello beauty lovers I hope you are all doing well, I decided to try something new on my blog called beauty tips tuesday where I can share with you different beauty tips and tricks which I love doing. Therefore todays beauty tips are for using mascara

1. If your mascaras have dried up then store them in a container of hot water, which should make them become thinner and like brand new. 

2. To prevent clumps on the eyelashes (unless you like the spider leg look like me) wipe the excess mascara onto a piece of tissue, and wiggle your brush side to side at the base of your lashes. 

3. If you want to voluminous thick lashes then coat both sides of your lashes with mascara, and for the bottom lashes (which can be tricky if your mascara wand is huge) turn the brush vertically to make sure you pick up every lash. You can also add baby powder after each application of mascara to make them appear thicker.

4.If you have ran out or don't own a liquid/gel eyeliner then you can use your mascara as an eyeliner, all you have to do is run it across the mascara wand to pick up product and use it as you would a gel eyeliner. 

5. If your mascara goes onto the upper eyelid and you don't want to ruin your eyeshadow, always wait for the mascara to dry then use a cotton bud to remove the mascara. 

I hope you enjoyed reading the post and I hope that you have learnt something from it, if you have any mascara tips or tricks I would love to know?
