Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams - Link From left to right: Tokyo, London, San Paulo
Ever since these lip creams were released in the UK, I couldn't wait to snap them up and put them in my basket! I currently only have 3 of these in my collection, however I would really like to expand on this. First of all I have Tokyo, which is a lovely baby pink shade. Next I have London, which is a nude/light brown shade. Last but not least is San Paulo, a dark pink shade which is quite bright compared to the others.
They have become a staple item in my makeup bag, as they are really easy to apply if you are in a rush. I have never been a matte lip kind of girl, but these have really opened up my eyes! Once they are applied, your lips feel instantly smooth. What I love most about these matte lip creams, is that it's like you have nothing on your lips as they are so lightweight.
Luckily, they are super affordable... only £5.50! I will definitely be buying more of these, and I am eager to try some more products of theirs.

Today, I am going to be sharing with you my favourite beauty products for February! In this post there are a mixture of high-end and drugstore products, which shows you can still get great products for a fraction of the price (yay!).
1. Urban Decay - Naked Ultimate Basic Palette (Link)
First up is this gorgeous eyeshadow palette which has taken over the blogging world ever since it was released. I was very lucky to receive this from my boyfriend for Christmas, which was a complete surprise, after being practically dragged away from the Urban Decay counter only a couple of weeks before because it's too expensive! I already own the Naked Basics and Naked Basics 2 palettes, which I use on a daily basis... so when I saw this I immediately needed it in my life. The shades are amazingly pigmented and super blendable. There are endless amounts of looks you could create with this palette, but I am yet to go out of my comfort zone!
2. Revolution - I Heart Makeup Blushing Hearts Blusher (Link)
This blusher is so cute and very pigmented! I use this every day and the shade looks really natural on my skin tone. I am very tempted to try the highlighters and bronzers in this collection - has anyone else tried them?
3. Soap and Glory - Supercat Skinny Easy Precision Eyeliner (Link)
I bought this eyeliner a few weeks ago as I was determined to master the skill of winged eyeliner. This product does just the job as the tip is small which makes it easier to be precise. The formula isn't too dry or too wet and it lasts all day! I will definitely be re-purchasing this when it runs out!
4. Benefit - Roller Lash Mascara (Link)
I also received this mascara from my boyfriend for Christmas. I had wanted to try this for such a long time and I wasn't disappointed! The curved bristles help to give volume and curl to your lashes. This mascara also separates your lashes rather than clumping them together, giving you natural (but better) lashes.
5. L'Orèal - True Match Foundation (Link)
L'Orèal have just recently relaunched this foundation, but with a range of 23 shades to match different skin tones! I have just recently got back into wearing foundation after a period of just wearing concealer to cover my blemishes. However, I have now realised how important this stage in the makeup process is. I have previously owned this foundation, so I went out and bought another one in the shade 1N -Ivory. This shade is perfect for my skin tone and doesn't look orange once it is applied. I would say the coverage is medium to high, but after a bit of concealer my complexion looks flawless! I have quite oily skin, so I do need to apply a bit of powder if I want this to last on my face all day.
I hope you found this post helpful and it has given you some inspiration for new products to add to your collection!

Hello everyone,
Today I thought I would share with you my favourite skincare products to use at the moment. A little while ago, I used to take my makeup off and be done with it... but times have changed! I have started to notice a difference in my complexion by using a variety of products on a daily basis.
The first product I use to take my makeup off is the Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Cleansing Wipes -Link. These wipes make your face feel refreshed after wearing a face full of makeup all day and get the majority of product off your face.
Next, I use the Garnier Fresh Cleansing Lotion 'Start A Fresh' - Link ,to remove the remaining product and cleanse my face. Cleansing is an important step in the skincare process as it gets deep into your skin and removes underlying dirt. You will also be surprised how much product was still left on your face after using the makeup wipes! I love this cleansing lotion as it makes your skin soft and fresh.
To cleanse my face further, I use the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Facewash - Link. This ensures all my pores are unclogged and all hidden dirt is removed. This step isn't necessary for everyone, but the product does help combat those unwanted spots!
Finally, I use the Superdrug Tea Tree Spot Stick - Link ,which can be applied to any blemishes you have on your face. Tea Tree Oil has natural purifying and antibacterial properties, which works straight away to combat those spots!
I hope this post has been helpful or useful in some way. I would love to hear any recommendations you have, as I love trying out new skincare products!
