Top 5 affordable make up products

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I will be talking about a few of my favourite make up products and why I like them. I hope you enjoy this post.

Loreal True Match Foundation:


I first tried this product about a year ago and I have loved it ever since. I use the shade 1.N which matches my skin beautifully. I really like the finish of this foundation as it stays quite dewy on my dry skin but doesn't look oily. The coverage is medium but can be built up to full coverage, it layers beautifully and doesn't look cakey on the skin. I find that this lasts fairly well on my skin and my other products last well on top of it. Also this is very affordable which is just the cherry on the cake for me.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer:

I have been using this product for years I know that this is a well loved product which is totally understandable given the high quality product at such a low price point. The coverage of this concealer is amazing, it blends beautifully and works brilliant for under eyes and over blemishes. I have found that with other concealers at this price point either the coverage isn't enough or the formula dries down too quickly for it to blend into the skin well. I also love that this range goes pale enough for my fair skin tone, I don't think that the ranges goes dark enough for someone of colour, but for medium and lighter skin tones it works very well. (I really hope that the drugstore and highstreet brands get their arse's in gear and get some darker shades out there).

Miss Sporty Eyeliner Pencil:

I think this was the second eyeliner pencil I ever bought and I still love it to this day. It is such a good product for the price, this is so affordable. It is super soft and creamy and very comfortable to apply and the pigmentation is beautiful, it is super black which I love. It lasts fairly well in the water line but I do have to touch up after 4-5 hours. My only problem with this product is that it does smudge and transfer a little bit, but when I set it with a small amount of eye shadow there is not issue at all.

Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar Palette:

I absolutely LOVE this palette. All but maybe 2 of the colours in the palette I think are amazing, easily some of the best highlighters I have used. There are also some beautiful blush topper colours of which are beautiful on their own or over blush. These are not chunky or super glittery but they are high shine and shimmery and magical...I love them. They work beautifully on the skin or as eye shadows, you can foil them using a bit of setting spray to dampen your brush. They can be used subtly or you can get a really strong pay off. Brilliant texture, pigmentation and price.

Top Shop Cheek Jelly:

I know this is a cheek product but I really like to use it on the lips. It give a really natural moisturising stain that looks and feels lovely. I do also like it on the cheeks but I much prefer it as a lip product. It is a really smooth gel texture that isn't greasy or oily but still feels really hydrating. The pigmentation is pretty good but it can still be built up for a bolder colour. I really like this product and I'm surprised I never hear about it.

I would highly recommend all of these products. I really hope you enjoyed this post, I know its quite a short one but I wanted to make sure I got something up for you guys. I have Some really cool blogs and reviews on the way so stay tuned. Love you all.

Primark Metallic lip kit Review

Well isn't this exciting? My first product review.


The product I am reviewing here is the "Get Lippy Metallic Collection". I bought this lip kit from Primark for £3. The colour I will be looking at today is "Molten Bronze" there is only one other shade in the collection "Molten Lava". In this product you get a Metallic lipstick and a lip liner.

Looking at the packaging for this product you can clearly see that it is inspired by Kylie Cosmetics 
lip kits. Definitely not a copy, but appears to be a similar style product. The packaging contains no directions and I couldn't find any on the Primark website either.

Above is a hand swatch of both the liquid lipstick and the lip liner. Just from the swatch the liner appears to be quite a firm formula and not very pigmented. The liquid lipstick feels very smooth, has good pigmentation and shine.

My lips without any product.

My lips after applying the lip pencil. This is a firm formula and not very creamy. As you can see this pencil isn't very pigmented, but it was comfortable and fairly easy to apply.

When I first applied the liquid lipstick it came off as quite chunky, as you can see in the picture above.

However once applied the product lay smoothly on the lips and had a nice velvety feel. It was a very comfortable formula and not overly drying, which is great for me as my lips are super dry. The colour pay off for this product was lovely and opaque, there was no patchiness at all. The metallic aspect was definitely there, the product had a beautiful sheen. The colour of the lipstick it's self was a beautiful true bronze.

The product dries down very nicely and still feels smooth and soft. After it had dried I applied another thin layer. It layered beautiful, didn't go chunky or dry.

Summary:
Over all I think this is a beautiful product for the price point. I would definitely recommend this product for those of you looking for a budget friendly metallic lip.
Thanks you for reading this review. I hope you enjoyed it, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
