MAC Mineralise Skin Finish in 'Soft and Gentle'

Today I am going to be talking about the popular 'Soft and Gentle' MSF from MAC.

I bought this product a few years ago and I absolutely love it. Louise (SprinkleofGlitter) spoke about it all the time and it got to the point where I had to buy it! It is a gorgeous shimmery light gold and I get a lot of use from it. 

It retails for just over £20, I had to order online so it ended up being more like £25 which does seem steep but I think it was totally worth it! It creates a gorgeous sheen on your cheeks. If you are thinking about getting it, get it! It lasts for such a long time, like I said I have had this for a few years and use it often yet I have hardly made a dent!

I am definitely interested in purchasing more of the MSF's from MAC, I know they come out quite frequently in collections, so I'm keeping an eye out!

I hope you enjoyed this post, have you tried this product?

First Impressions: Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 1

Today I'm going to be sharing my first impressions of the Makeup Revoloution Iconic Pro 1 palette. I love Makeup Revoloution as a brand, so when I saw that they had a dupe of the ever so popular Lorac Pro palette, I had to get it! I have wanted the Lorac Pro palette for a while now but unfortunately it's not readily available in the UK so I have been looking for a dupe. I have also heard many youtubers and bloggers rave about this palette, so I was very excited when it arrived in the post today!

The palette also comes with a handy brush, which actually seems quite good quality!

I have swatched a few of these colours and they are highly pigmented and seem very creamy! This palette was also only £6.99!!

The colours in this palette are just beautiful. I especially love the garnet shade (Stage) on the bottom row. I am looking forward to trying out this palette tomorrow morning and I will hopefully share my thoughts on it in an upcoming blog post!

Thankyou for reading! What products do you love from Makeup Revolution?

I was kindly nominated by Natalie to do the Liebster Award. The Liebster Award is to promote and help grow blogs. I will answer the questions Natalie has given and I will then tag and leave some questions for a few blogs! 

What are your favourite blog posts to read? 

My favourite blog posts to read are probably FOTD's, tags and hauls.

One makeup brand you love?

I love Mac, their products are just amazing and I love them a lot. 

Would you rather have 10,000 kittens or 1 unicorn? 

10,000 kittens! I am such a cat lady, so I would definitely prefer them.

Favourite album on iTunes? 

I don't really have one album that is my favourite, I tend to like specific songs, but saying that I really like 1989 by Taylor Swift.

If you could dye your hair any colour you want, what would it be?

I would quite like to go a bit more blonde, but if I was brave enough I would love to go lilac or a more adventurous colour.

Favourite non famous YouTuber? 

I really enjoy Notes From The City. She does healthy vlogs and videos and she is incredible at editing!

Who inspires you?

This is quite hard actually! Lots of people inspire me, my friends definitely inspire me to just be happy and to be a better person.

Which places have you been to? (out of your country)

I have been to France, Italy and Ireland! (does Ireland count? haha)

What Netflix TV shows do you watch? e.g. PLL, Gossip Girl.

I don't actually have Netflix surprisingly! I feel like I'm the only one! On TV I love shows like Catfish, Bodyshockers and any sort of trashy TV.

Drugstore vs High End Makeup

Today I am sharing with you some of my favourite drugstore dupes for high end makeup!

In my collection I have discovered a few lipstick dupes, here are three Mac lipsticks with cheaper alternatives: 

Left - Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in '05'

Right - Mac lipstick in 'Speak Louder'

Left - Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in 'Rose Millesime'

Right - Mac lipstick in 'Crosswires'

Left - Topshop lipstick in 'Innocent'

Right - Mac lipstick in 'Lovelorn'

These are all extremely similar, and are great dupes! The drugstore lipsticks are less than £10 and the Mac lipsticks are £15.50, so you could be saving up to £10!

Lastly I have a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette.

Top - Urban Decay Naked palette

Bottom - MUA 'Undressed' palette 

The Urban Decay palette is £37 and the MUA palette is an amazing £4! The quality of the MUA shadows are incredible, but in my opinion nothing quite beats the Naked palette.

Do you have any amazing dupes? Thankyou for reading!

Top 3 Products: Benefit

I would say Benefit is one of my favourite makeup brands, I love their products and of course their cute packaging! Today I am sharing my top 3 products from this brand.

1. They're Real Push-up Liner

This product has had so much hype about it and I truly think its worth the hype! From what I have heard it seems to be a product where you either love it or hate it. I do think it takes some getting used to, but if you can get the hang of it, it's amazing. It lasts so long and is very easy to work with.

2. Hervana Box Blush

This was my first of the boxed blushes, and I adore this one! It's got a mixture of pink, peach, a slightly purple shade and a beautiful highlight, when you mix them together it creates the most gorgeous glow! I highly reccomend this blush, especially if it's your first one from Benefit as it is not too strongly pigmented.

3.They're Real Mascara

Of course this mascara had to be included here! This is my all time favourite mascara, it makes yours lashes look so voluminous and long! Their new 'Roller Lash' mascara has recently come out too and I can't wait to try it out so I can compare the two.

Thankyou for reading, I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
