I found a new cheek and lip colour from Benefit called Posietint, and at first I was a little bit hesitant on buying it, but I am now glad I did! It is a liquid stain that comes with a brush and when applied leaves a lush sheer pink wash of colour. I did find that when using it on your cheeks you will need to make sure you bend it into the skin, when done so looks fab. As it can be used on both lips and cheeks it have a double purpose; all the more reason to buy!

In my opinion I think this is a great little make up item to have for your day wear when going for the natural look, easily applied and small enough for your handbag. This can be bought online from www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk for £22.50.

I have been wearing this nail varnish now for the last week and I must say I am in love with it. The Revlon One Perfect Nail Varnish in Coral looks amazing the colour is so rich and most certainly completes a summery outfit especially on a nice tanned set of hands and feet, so is a must to take with you on holiday!

With the handy one coat quick dry it makes it nice and easy to do when in a rush, I had no problem with this, I do find most nail varnishes need two coats to make the colour. I will most certainly be purchasing other colours from this range as there are 24 shades to choose from, I’m sure I will not be stopping at just one.

You can get this from Superdrug for £4.29 at the moment… Bargain

The newest member of the too faced collection that I have succumbed to buying is Too Faced Shadow Insurance. This is a definite must have if you wear a lot of eye shadow and are tired of it creasing, fading or melting.

Once applying this to the eye lid wait a couple of minutes before putting your eye shadow or pigment over the top, it wonderfully fights off the oil and it allows it to stay put until its time to take it off. All the more reason to wear bright eyeshadow now knowing it wont crease!

It’s a bargain at £11.00 from the ASOS website.

The new exciting MAC Fafi Collection has been launched and can be found in the shops. This collection sports a limited edition packaging and the range of makeup has the most appealing colours. I must admit I did have a spree and bought a few pieces, I couldn’t resist the stylish packaging and striking shades. Starting with my first buy the Iridescent Powder; it manages to give your skin a beautiful sheen. (£15.50) I use it both on its own or mixed with another powder as its great for adding a nice pearly colour to my skin!

The second must have I had to have was this High Gloss Nail Varnish. You can get three different finishes – Cream, Sheer and Frosted, I wanted the “Girls Will Be Girls” shade which is the Frost finish. I love it and it has a pink with coral pearl look to it, which is a great colour to go with all the floral patterns that is in the shops at the moment.

The last thing I bought in my make up spree was an awesome bright lipstick which is great at making your final look on a night out! The limited edition FAFI Lipstick has 6 shades I chose “Flash-N-Dash” and stands out when wearing it with your eyes framed with some eye liner and mascara and cheeks with a pearly shine. A fun and exciting buy in my opinion!

I do love make up and enjoy trying out new products even if I didn’t realise I needed it. I recently bought a lip plumping lip gloss by Clinique called Full Potential Lips, the colour was what initially what attracted me to the product and I found it fantastic! The gloss has a gorgeous sheer and instantly gave me more noticeable fuller lips which stayed put for ages.

There are 10 exciting colours which can match with lots of looks. I chose 13 Luscious Lilac which is my favourite but there are plenty of nudes so if you’re not looking for a lot of colour and just want it for plumping then there are 6 to choose from. I must say I will be adding to the collection very soon! So for kissable lips I definitely recommend this one. Check out the Clinique Website for all the colours.

I recently bought a load of Benefit makeup for the first time and have to say the brand has totally won me over. I was attracted to the stall in my local House of Fraiser by the unique illustrations and appearance of the products so went over for a closer look. I ended up throwing out all my old make-up to make room for the new pots and boxes – I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the packaging, its so pretty.

I purchased Dr Feel Good (£19.50) – a skin smoothing balm that helps reduce imperfections and lines, it feels lovely against your skin helps set a base for foundation. I wear it every day and really notice the difference in the texture of my skin, not cheap but a total must have! I also discovered their Non Fiction Foundation (currently on sale at £14.60), a light covering foundation that leaves skin looking natural rather than OTT. It’s by far the best foundation I have ever bought and has a lovely scent that people often comment on.

If you get a chance try their Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners, they are so soft and natural looking but give that litter bit of shimmer and sparkle to your eyes. I bought the Birthday Suit shade (£13.00) and wear it every day. The great thing about these eye shadows is that you can wear them on their own with some black liner and mascara, or you can use them as a base and build up different tones on top of them. A great buy in my opinion!

I couldn’t leave the Benefit stall without trying their renowned Bad Gal Lash Mascara (£14.50). It is fantastic for both daytime and evening lashes; I don’t think I’ll ever use another mascara.

They also gave me a sample of a new moisturiser which was great but I cannot find it on the website.

Check out the Benefit Website for all the products.

Every time I watch strictly come dancing I fall in love with the makeup, it’s not for the faint hearted and you won’t get everyday wear out of it, but every girl gets glamed up every now again, and shimmery sexy eyes are the way to do it, and just think how long they will last.

All the bright colours of the glittery eye shadows look fab and there will be a colour to suit any eye colour. If you’re going to wear a real stand out eye makeup then my advice is to keep it simple on the lips, a nice light pink or neutral shade is best.

Too Faced makeup is gorgeous and they make the perfect eye product for any disco diva out there, Shimmer veils glittering eye glosses let your lids explode with disco ball glamour for hours of crease-proof color and shine, and they’re only £9.30 each which in my eyes is a real bargain for such a good product.

I have a real addiction to eye pencils, my favourites are from MAC, however I have just come across Barry M Eye Kohls, they come in a huge variety of gorgeous colours and they look really fab on. In fact I was over the moon as MAC have stopped making my favourite purple pencil Ola Viola, but Barry M do the exact same colour in pencil 15.

Coloured eye pencils are a must for any occasion, you can create a smoky eye look in any colour for a night out, or you could use them for a more subtle look in the day to make your eye colour pop!

Check out the Barry M website for more information, I actually got them from Superdrug where they were only £2.49 each, bargain!
