Long time no see!
I know I've been incredible inactive at the moment, but I tried to work the guest posts I had around this time where I haven't had much time to write a post myself so I hope you enjoyed those posts from Peter and Kate - I think we can all agree they were fabulous posts!
I did explain briefly on my last post that I am going to struggle to be posting regularly now that I have started my A levels because I honestly just don't have the time. If I could make a living out of this and not have to go to school, there's no doubt in the matter I would be doing this. But, unfortunately that's not how things work so my blog is going to have to take the back seat for now. I'm not giving this up completely or at all, I am still going to be posting as regularly as I find myself able to because I love doing this so much I don't want to stop completely. I just hope everyone understands that school is really important right now and so posts aren't going to have any particular schedule, it will literally just be whenever I can. I feel absolutely awful and it really upsets me that I cant post as regularly as I would like to but it has to be done and I know a lot of people will be able to relate to that.
Anyway, enough of me rambling about how time consuming A levels are and onto the actual post for today!
Since getting my first job back in August, I've had a little extra money in my pocket so I took the opportunity to replenish my makeup collection a little. I didn't go mad because I have some control, but there's a little bit here that I thought I'd share with you lovely lot!
I was desperate for a new foundation and one of my friends recommended the L'Oreal Infalliable 24 Hour Foundation to me after she saw it in one of Zoe's videos and so far I can totally understand why because I'm loving it! This was £9.99 which to me is a very affordable price for a foundation. Stay tuned for a a review!
I have recently developed a love for Topshop lipsticks. I bought this one first and then went back to get another which you will see next, and this definitely isn't the end of my Topshop lipstick collection! This is one of the birthday ones I believe and it is in the shade 'Beguiled'. It's a very deep berry tone so it's perfect for the Autumn and Winter months!
So after absolutely loving 'Beguiled' I went back to get a colour that is completely out of my comfort zone... purple... I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull it off but I really wanted to try and I honestly love it so far! This one is in the shade 'Inhibition' and it's another perfect Autumn and Winter colour. For only £8, Topshop lipsticks are totally affordable.
I realise that I am very late to the band wagon on the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and I honestly have no idea why. The first time I used it I literally said 'oh my god' out loud! It's brilliant! Someone tell me why I didn't get this sooner! For £4.19 you really can't knock it!
Another Topshop piece is their eyeshadow pencil in the shade 'Vicious Circle'. This is slightly too dark for the colour of my eyebrows but by using the brush on the other end to blend it out, it looks the perfect shade, I've never been a person for spending hours on my eyebrows because to be honest it's my least favourite part and I just can't be bothered to mess around with them. So, for me a pencil is the easiest way, very lazy, I know. Someone come teach me how to do them properly please? I believe this was about £6 which again is super affordable.
Just to add to my brush collection, I picked up the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush because it's one that I've wanted for a little while now. My brush collection is something that I feel quite proud of so far and I am continuing to grow it, most of it is Real Techniques to be honest. Can't really knock them... This was £9.99 which I think is a fair price for a brush of this quality.
And that was my little spend! I hope you enjoyed this as my first post back after a little while and I hope it won't be too long before I have another one up for you! Taking advantage of this week off and getting some posts written for you so I have something to put up over the next few weeks! Hate abandoning you all!
Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them?
Love, Becca
