January Favourites!

Guys I'm so sorry it's been so long since I posted, I've been away for the past few days and only now realised this post that was meant to post on Valentines day never posted. Bad Wifi is the worst :( 


Happy Valentine's day everybody! If you have no one to get in the romantic spirit with, don't you worry, grab a big cup of tea and spend the evening catching up on some beauty blog posts!

I'm being a bit naughty posting my January favourites half way through February, but I thought since I only made this blog a few days ago that it was allowed? Hopefully it won't happen again 🙊



Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24H 

I got this gel eyeliner because the Rimmel one was discontinued (or so I believe, I couldn't find it anywhere) and was looking for an alternative. I tried this and instantly fell in love! The formula is different to any I've tried - it looks a bit like a liquid eyeliner when it's on. It's very easy to use and even comes with a handy little brush. I don't use the brush personally but it's great for someone who is only trying out gel eyeliner and doesn't want to go out and buy a brush too.



Urban Decay Eyeshadow in 'Faint' - Naked Basics Pallette 

I absolutely love this brown shade for my eyebrows - I've been using it pretty much every day, pencils have been forgotten about!

Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses in 700 'Nothing but Nude'

I got this lip tint as a gift and was very excited to try it as I hadn't tried any of this range before. The packaging was interesting, a stick with the marker-like crayon on one side and a clear balm to add 'moisture and shine' on the other. I love this colour as it's not too bright for everyday wear yet still adds a pop of colour to my face. I would definitely recommend it! 



Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal

I'm now on my second pencil of this and I love it. I use this on it's own or on my waterline with gel eyeliner on top. Great for that smudged effect and lasts ages!



Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish Nail Varnish in 'Black Cherry'

I wore this dark colour so much throughout winter, in fact in January I rarely had it off my nails! Not the best consistency but it doesn't chip too easily which is all I ask for! 



Sudocream 

I've already done a whole blog post on this so I'm not going to write too much but this has been my skin saviour throughout January!


Halle Berry Perfume

I recieved this perfume as a gift and I absolutely love it. I'm not someone for very sweet or strong scents so this is perfect for me. Good thing I have such a huge bottle!



So that's my belated January Favourites, I hope you all liked it! Comment down below if you've liked any of these throughout January or anything else that was a favourite in January!

Benefit 'World Famous Neutrals' Review

I recently tried the Benefit 'World Famous Neutrals - Easiest Nudes Ever' eyeshadow kit, which I recieved for free while I was doing work experience in a drugstore/high street store. I got the tester that does be on the shelf to try and although it was a little well loved, it was free and so I wasn't complaining!




I had a few testers to choose from, but what swayed me towards this is how easy to wear they all looked - they seemed like the perfect everyday colours. The set contained 4 powder shadows and 2 cream shadows - one of which had sadly been used up (r.s.v.p.). It looked so pretty too :( 




The colours were beautiful - the cream eyeshadows were bases which were lovely but I noticed 'No Pressure!' was very similar to the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'On and On Bronze/Bad to the Bronze.' For the crease they had 'Thanks a Latte' a bronze shade which I ADORE and 'Quick, Look busy, a dark brown colour. The set also contains 'Call My Buff' and 'Pinky Swear' for highlighting.


Some swatches(left-right) - Quick, Look Busy, Thanks a Latte and No pressure! 


No pressure! (left) compared to Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze (right) - I can hardly notice a difference!


Overall, I thought this set was great. It even included 2 step-by-step tutorials and a handy mirror! (Yes that's my badly chipped nail varnish in the mirror!)




Thank you all for reading, please comment what you think of this set if you've tried it or what your favourite benefit set is.

My budget skincare saviour! 🙌


I love reading blog posts about skincare products because I love trying new things, but more often than not the best skincare products are very very expensive and for someone without a job, it's just not possible to try them.

That's why today, I decided to share with you guys my favourite skincare product that I bought for only FOUR EURO -sudocream!



Now, I'm sure when you hear sudocream you immediately think of baby's bottoms and that's what I thought too, until a friend recommended it to me when I had a particularly bad skin day.


 I had 2 huge spots and a lot of redness, so I decided to put this on overnight and see if it made a difference. When I woke up, the spots had reduced noticeably in size and the redness had cleared up a lot also. I've been using this a lot lately as I've had a lot of breakouts and it really has made a difference!

The only downside to sudocream is when you're wearing it overnight, it can be messy and if you toss and turn a lot like me, you might wake up with it all over your pillow. Other than that, it's a great, cheap spot treatment that most people seem to have at home already!


Have you ever tried it? Let me know :)

My beauty blog! 💄

As my very first post on my new blog, I wanted this post to be a kind of introductory message (if that makes sense!) and share a little about myself.

My name is Rebecca, I'm 16 and from Ireland. This blog will mainly have beauty posts, but I'm not saying that it will solely post beauty reviews and there may be other content from time to time.

I previously had a blog on Wordpress and took a bit of a "blogger break" that lasted months.. Oops🙊.

I was going to start reposting on Wordpress but I got a bit of a 'New blog, new me' mentality  and am determined to post more often on this blog.

I know this was a very boring post but I think it's nice to get to know a bit about the person who's blog you follow. Hopefully my posts in the future will be a bit more interesting!

If you read this far I think I deserve a follow, don't you? 😉
