Real techniques blush brush

Hello my lovelies,

I hope you're all well and having a great start to the year.
Today's blog post is to share how excited I am to have bought my first Real techniques brush. I know these are a statement in every beauty addicts collection. I actually had never purchased one though, although hearing tons about I just thought. "I don't need another brush, I have tons of Eco tools brushes. Why would I need anymore?" Boy was I wrong a girl can never have too many brushes. 

After wandering in my local Boots I started looking at the different sets and realised they are no were near as expensive as I expected considering how high up in everyone's list they are. I ended up buying the blush brush which was £9.99 to give it a go, but I'm definitely going to go back and buy a set as they're amazing value for money. They're core collection set comes with four brushes: detailer brush, pointed foundation brush, face brush and contour brush. They're all really high quality brushes and come in at an amazing £21.99 I'd be silly not to right? They also currently have a limited edition  duo fibre set which I'm eye balling. It brings three brushes for face, contour and eyes, it's duo fibres means it works with any consistency makeup: powder, creamy or liquid. 

The brushed look beautiful and they're designed by Samantha Chapman who we all know and love. They're super soft and I feel they really pick up the product well with hardly any fall out. So jw as really exicited to try this out and can't wait to get myself some more.

Have you tried the real techniques brushes? Which one is your favourite?

Seven deadly sins - Beauty tags.

Hello my lovelies. 
Today I though I'd do a small beauty tag which is just a bit of lighthearted fun, but will let you you know a bit more about me. So....LETS GO

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
This was really hard to think about because I usually by with a spur of the moment attitude and end up forgetting what it cost. When I went to Italy on holiday I paid regular visit to a beauty shop called Kiko. You can also buy things from them online to just click here to check them out. They MAD sales so I bought tons of things for under £2 I think the cheapest was a nail polish which I bought for £0.50 it was a sugar effect one and to be quite honest I didn't like it:( most expensive beauty item I have is the Dior skin sculpt foundation which is £34. 

2. WRATH: What beauty product do you have a love/hate relationship with? 
For me this is definitely the gold old Rimmel London wake me up foundation. I know this is a beauty blogger classic and I'm sure it's my skin rather than the actual foundation, but sometimes I LOVE it and feel it works great. Other times I find I look TOO "dewy" and feel it too if you know what I mean. Sometimes it just doesn't seem to dry properly and leaves me feeling damp or tacky even with a layer of setting powder over it. Like I said though I think it's probably got more to do with how my skin is on that particular day or time of the month.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products? 
So I've already mentioned them in this tag, but I've recently bought quite a few products from Kiko and they are honestly the best smelling products ever. Their mineralized blush and their cream velvet blush literally smell like chocolate. (I've thought about eating it many times, but don't worry I haven't.) I also love benefits 15 hour primer it just smells so fresh and amazing. Yummmmm

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness? 
There's actually two which I really neglect and I shouldn't. The first which I never do is my eyebrows. Don't worry I pluck them haha, I just don't use any powder or pencil on them as much prefer how they look naturally. I also 80% neglect using eyeliner. I only use it with red or dark colour, just due to pure laziness. 

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
This is an easy one for me to answer. It's definitely gel eyeliner. My eyes I feel are my best feature so exaggerating them with a winged liner is what I loooove to do. If I want to look good you will most definitely see me wearing it. 

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex? 
I'm guessing this means look wise. It's definitely the hair for me. I can't tell you what type of hair I like on a guy as there's many different styles I like. But if a guy has nice hair he's laughing then. 

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
As a beauty obsessed girl I love trying new products. So as far as beauty related gifts come you can't really go wrong, but i do go through phases of wanting different things and at the moment it's definitely the Naked 3 pallet I want to get my hands on. Comment down below if you already have this and what your thoughts are on it. I'm also awaiting Tanya Burr's lips and nails to try them all out. 

So that about wraps it up. 
I tag you all to this tag, so comment down below if you do so I can check it out.



Love Damaris

Loreal nude magique eau de teint review

Hello my lovelies.
So today I'm reviewing a Loreal foundation which this year has crept its way in to every beauty bloggers heart and that is the Loreal nude magique eau de teint. I've been using this product for a couple of months now and feel really happy with it. So I thought why not share some of my thoughts on it. Get a cuppa and enjoy:) 
I was actually really confused with this foundation when it first came out because a lot of American youtubers and beauty bloggers were raving about it and in the USA it looks just as above but I believe it's called liquid powder, I could never see that in the drugstore so I settled for this one haha. I'm Pretty sure they are exactly the same, just with different names. Comment down below if you know what that's all about.  Anyway when I first got it I was quite sceptical as I shook the bottle and it's pure liquid in there, it literally sounded like water, I thought "this definitely is not going to work for me" but hey I gave it a shot anyway and am so glad I did.
Like I said it is pure liquid and that's actually one of its selling points being that it's as water and as light as a feather. Which is very true I love wearing this on days that I want to look "fresh"  but am still not feeling up to meeting the world bare face, or on those no makeup, makeup days. It is just perfect for those days and it blends perfectly in to the skin and feels so weightless, it's one of the only foundations  I feel I don't need to apply everywhere. I apply some on my forehead and chin as I have blemish scarring and a tiny bit to my cheeks to cancel out some of the redness, but I don't feel I need to cover everything. The finish is flawless and so natural, with coverage being light to medium but definitely buildable. It's not a foundation I'd wear for a flawless face on a night out or special occasion, but for natural days it's perfect. I have it in the colours 140 and 150
Like I said it feels like you're literally not wearing anything which I love,I have very oily skin and with the nude magique I very rarely feel oily. I will say though I'm not sure if that's a particularly good thing because It does smell like alcohol, so makes me wonder if it's drying on the skin. Although I haven't personally noticed any drying, it seems to cancel out my oily skin perfectly.


It also has an SPF 18 in it which although this time of year isn't particularly needed it's always handy, especially as I can tell this is one I will love wearing in the summer. 


If you are interested in buying it, it's currently on sale at feel unique.com for £4.99 BARGAIN.
Let me know in the comments below if you have tried this foundation and what you think.


Thanks for reading,
Damaris
