Barry M Favourites

Wednesday, 12 August 2015
As you may know already, Barry M is one of my favourite brands so I thought I'd do a quick post and share with you some of the products I love. 



Top:

 Natural Glow Shadow and Blush Palette - These shadows are perfect for creating a natural eye look, and the blush is a beautiful subtle light pink colour. It has two matte colours and the rest are shimmery but are not too over the top. 

Left to Right: 

Gelly Hi Shine Lips in Dark Red - This is one of my go-to lip colours for autumn and winter, I love it!
Liquid Eyeliner in Black - This is so easy to use and has the right sized end to create either a thin line or a thick cat eye. 
Lipstick in 165 and 100 - These two shades are my favourite. The formula is lovely and creamy and the staying power is surprisingly good for such a cheap lip product. 
Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit - I use this every day, especially the light powder and the middle shade. I feel the bottom shade can make my skin look a bit muddy so I tend to stay away from that one. Apart from that I absolutely love the other two powders! 



Perfume Collection

Monday, 10 August 2015
I will be the first to admit that I've bought a bottle of perfume before purely because the bottle looked pretty; I didn't smell it first! Luckily when I did this I loved the smell of the perfume as well. I love Vera Wang's perfumes and would love to try out more. 
Let me know what your favourite scents are! 

Left to Right - Zoella Let's Spritz!, Vera Wang Lovestruck, Vera Wang Princess and Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh 

 Zoella Let's Spritz!


This is actually a body mist rather than a perfume but I thought I would include it anyway because I love it! I'm really not great at describing scents but it smells amazing. It's a great alternative to an expensive perfume and if you don't want an overpowering smell. I believe this was £8 so a total bargain, would definitely recommend! 

Vera Wang Princess and Lovestruck 


I love both of these perfumes so much! Vera Wang Princess is possibly my favourite out of the two but they both smell divine. It was Vera Wang Lovestruck that I got without smelling first. My Dad was going on a business trip and I saw this perfume in a magazine, so I cut the picture out and asked him to get it for me at the airport. My mum also loved it and she ended up getting a bottle of it as well! 


Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh 


I've had this perfume for what feels like forever and I'm over half way through it! I would definitely re-purchase this when it does run out as I feel it's such a safe smell and is so lovely. The bottle is beautiful and again that was why I was attracted to this perfume in the first place! There are so many Marc Jacobs perfumes out now but I recommend this for sure.

Top 5 Favourite Eye Liners

Friday, 7 August 2015
Today's post is all about my top 5 favourite eye liners. They're all drugstore so are affordable if you're on a budget like myself! 


Left to right: B. Smokey 122 Chocolate, Rimmel Scandal Eyes 005 Nude, Rimmel Soft Kohl 071 Pure White, Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner 001 Black, Soap and Glory Liquid Black Eyeliner Pen

B. Smokey 122 Chocolate Kohl Eyeliner


I absolutely love this eye liner! It has a sponge on the other end so is perfect for creating a smoky eye look and is very blendable. It's a chocolate brown colour so creates a softer and more natural look compared to a black eye liner. 


Rimmel Scandal Eyes 005 Nude Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner


I personally don't think that this eye liner is waterproof but it is long wearing. I put this along my lower waterline to make my eyes look more awake and brighter. It creates a natural and subtle look, and has a very creamy texture. 


Rimmel Soft Kohl 071 Pure White Eye Liner Pencil


Again I use this eye liner on my lower waterline to make my eyes look brighter and wider. This gives a more vibrant and noticeable look compared to using a nude. The lasting power isn't that great but for the price it's a good product. 

Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner 001 Black


At first I struggled to get the hang of doing my eye liner with this product. However I now use this everyday when I want a bolder eye look. It's easy to apply and the colour doesn't fade or flake off through out the day. I would definitely recommend this! 

Soap and Glory Liquid Black Eyeliner Pen


Soap and Glory's Supercat Liquid Black Eyeliner is my current favorite liquid eyeliner pen. I always struggle to draw my eyeliner on evenly and this product makes it so much easier to get a smooth line. It also doesn't smudge or fade through out the day. The thin pen style means I can create anything from a natural eye look with a thin line or a dramatic winged eyeliner look. The packaging design is simple and pretty. It's also thin and small meaning it takes up very little space, unlike some other eyeliners with unnecessary bulky packaging. It's definitely worth the money!

Favourite Eye Shadow Palettes

Wednesday, 5 August 2015
I don't own many eye shadow palettes but I thought I'd share my two favourite ones that I do own! These are my go-to palettes that I use most days and would recommend them to anyone. I'd love to try some more palettes so let me know your favourites :) 


Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette


I love this palette so much, it has to be one of the prettiest palettes out there. I have blue eyes and love wearing different shades of pinks and copper colours to make my eyes really pop. If used with an eye shadow primer, these shadows last all day and are pigmented. There can be some fall out when using the darker colours but apart from that this palette is brilliant! 

Urban Decay Naked Palette



I think pretty much everyone owns and loves this palette. It has the perfect range of colours and can create anything from a natural eye look to a smoky eye look. Again I would definitely recommend this if you haven't already go it!
