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.

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.
