Winter Wonders of Makeup (and Beauty) ♡

Hi everyone!

While it's getting pretty chilly outside, I've been snuggling in the warmth and finding new beauty and makeup treasures to tell you guys about.


Firstly, I've found the cheapest and most pigmented highlight shade you will ever find! It's a single shade by the brand Makeup Obsession, which I'll admit, I've never even heard of. I bought a lovely lilac shimmer shade called Moon. Honestly for it's price, it is the best, long lasting shade I've ever used. The only down side is that because it is so bright, you only need a little to have that GLOW. (Which can be a bit annoying if you apply too much). Check out all their shades here.

Next up is Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara. To be honest, I wasn't 100% sure about this when I first bought it. I was late to jump on the band wagon and I was very skeptical. Mascara's are very hit and miss for me, I have fine, light brown eyelashes and I find that most mascaras clump them and make then too dark. However, BTS is a blessing. It coats my lashes with a thin layer that isn't too dark or heavy and splits them apart so they don't clump together. You can apply more layers but, it might be worth combing them once you have more than one layer. I find that, as I wear contacts sometimes and have super watery eyes, that it smudges under my eyes during the day so I end up having to clean just below my lower lash line. It's a little on the pricy side but, honestly I think it's worth investing in this mascara. They also sell a waterproof one which I am keen to try. You can buy it here.

So as you guys know, I'm a sucker for face masks and I have found two brands that I've pretty much fallen in love with over their face masks.

The first brand is Blaq Mask. I got two 15ml tubes of these in a gift bag from BeautyCon London. I've always wanted to try these masks but some of them look really overpriced for what they are. So, when I got two of these for free, I was pretty excited to try them. It's super weird putting gloopy black liquid on your face but it dries hard and shiny and obviously the most satisfying part is the peeling.  I applied it all over my face and my skin was super soft and my pores were minimised when I washed it off. I obsess over face masks and finding the right ones, I would highly recommend this one if you've wanted to try this charcoal trend. The only downside is the price, for one tube of 60ml it's £14.00 which I think is pretty steep for a face mask. However, it will last you longer than one or two uses, so it's worth it if I want to fork out for it. You can find it here.

Next is 7th Heaven masks which I also got in a goody bag. These are in sachets which can be a little annoying because they have enough inside for more than one use but you have to fold them and clip them tightly or else they dry out. However, these are pretty fun and SUPER cheap! I found them in Boots for £1 per mask which has approx. 2 uses. They have a huge selection of peel off masks or wash off. For the price, they're actually worth it, they leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Plus, sometimes they're on sale in Asda for 85p which is such an awesome deal! I would 100% recommend these, especially if you're someone who doesn't want to spend a lot on good masks.

And, last but by no means least is the Duo Lash Glue. I personally love false lashes and if I'm going for a night out, the last thing I want is for my lashes to peel off halfway through the night (which has happened to me many times). This lash glue does hold all night and there is no need to reapply which is amazing. It is pretty reasonably priced at £5.99 for a tube, and because you don't need to reapply, it lasts much longer. You can find it here.

That's all for this post, folks. Until next time and Merry Christmas everyone!
