 I have wanted this lipstick for since I can remember, when I was first getting into the world of blogging and youtube while watching Chloe from Glitteralittle she used to rave about this lipstick and from then on I wanted it. Desperate to pick something up from the Limited Edition Wash & Dry Collection this seemed like the obvious choice, however it is still available in the permanent line.

Perfect Pair: MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick and Soar Lip Liner

That browny nude lip is what it's about at the moment. Thanks to the one and only Kylie Jenner of course, after picking up Velvet Teddy and loving it I decided to branch out to find the perfect pair to match it. There have been so many claims of different lip liners which are the ones and while both Soar and Whirl are next to impossible to come by I managed to snap up the last Soar Lip Liner and feel like its the one for me.

 The Body Shop Body Butters hold a strong memory of my childhood for me, the classic birthday present for everybody with girls stacking up a huge collection of them. This was way before my beauty, makeup loving times so I was never that bothered and since then The Body Shop hasn't featured much in my life. A while a go I spoke about the Cleansing Butter which I had tried out and loved, and since then nothing else beats it.

The amount of times which I have said this and its never really got anywhere. I've seen no results and given up, or I have seen results but what I've been doing to achieve these results was simply a quick fix and not something which I can keep up. This time I'm determined its going to be different, I'm going to blog it. This way I'm tied into it, but can also help any of you who are trying to do that same thing. I'm not going to make an actual schedule for how often I will post fitness posts, but its going to be and on going thing so keep a look out.

Hi There Dolls!

I’m Jess, author for The World According To Jess and I’m here to talk about one of my favourite Mac Collections, Miley Cyrus Viva Glam. I was so excited when I first heard about the upcoming Miley Cyrus Viva Glam collection, that I headed straight to Mac on the day of release to pick them up, just seeing these two products in their packaging made me fall in love.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to tanning, but I do love it and couldn't wait to give this Baby B Browne Face and Body Medium Self Tan Lotion* a try. I have been loving using instant tans and rapid tan, but not as many tanning lotions so I didn't have many expectations for this product- as a result with this I was so impressed with the results.

 On my hunt to find my signature scent I have spent ages in perfume shops trying to find a scent I like. It's always so tricky, I can't really tell what makes a good scent- I know it sounds ridiculous but what I think smells nice is all well and fine, then I get home and its just not the right thing at all. I bought this the other day, and so far am loving. It's had the stamp of approval from mum and then other various members of the family and friends, which is always a good sign.

I can't remember if I did this last month, but for any of you new to  my blog the basic idea is that I am trying to change up the makeup products in my makeup bag monthly, so that I use as many products as I can and try not to get stuck in a makeup rut. This month contains a lot of old favourites, as well as a couple of new products that I don't think I have ever mentioned on my blog before.

I have a shopping addiction. No joke, there is a huge high end haul coming soon. This is like your warm up for the big old haul which will be coming next week hopefully, check out my Instagram/ Twitter @oisforottilie if you want to have an extra sneak peak because no doubt I will be sharing all the products like crazy. Back to this Haul though, I popped into the MAC in Covent Garden and managed to restrain myself to just two items.

We are over half way through the year, say what?! That's literally crazy, and I know I say that every month. Makes me feel so old that I'm commenting on how fast months are going but anyway moving on from that. This month hasn't been one where I have particularly been changing things up or trying things out, its basically been a month of exams and work- living life to the full I know.

A Blog Sale is pretty self explanatory, and something which I have really been getting into lately. Although no selling has taken place, a lot of buying has. Its such a great way to get products which you have wanted to try for ages at a cheaper price, but the only thing you sacrifice is that they may have been used before you. These are some pieces which I have picked up recently.

Hey!

I’m Anjna the author of Anjna Harish: Thoughts of a Girl, and today I am going to share with you my top drugstore products that I have repurchased or will when the time comes. These products are amazing and I can always rely on them to perform, especially when I don’t feel like spending much.

So I have spoken about the BarryM Textured Nail Paint in Duchess (£3.99/10ml) on my blog before, it is just the perfect nail polish for everything, it’s a nude pink with a lot of glitter in it which makes it great for the upcoming summer because the sun will really make this polish shine. I love that it is textured as it means it is quick to dry and also it stays on for a really long time. Whenever I know I will be too busy, this is the polish I gravitate towards because it’s completely fuss free. I would actually pay a lot more for this colour so BarryM have really done a great job on this.

I have really oily eyelids and I’ve been really getting into the cream eyeshadows like the Bourjois
Paris Colour Edition 24 hours Eyeshadows (£6.99/5g) since they don’t crease on me and they are
really easy to apply and blend. What I love about the shade Or Desir is that it isn’t too strong; it’s a
shimmery gold which can be good for a nice wash of colour or built up to be more of a block colour. I just like that it’s not a metallic yellow gold since I have tanned skin which means it would contrast
with my skin tone in a way that I don’t want for every day wear. This pot has lasted me a few months and it’s still going strong even though I wear it a few times a week!

For me, it’s hard to find face products from the drugstore because of my skin tone but Revlon actually do an amazing range of shades in their collection. I have repurchased the Revlon Colour
Stay Concealer (£6.99/6ml) twice already and it’s a winner for me, it’s creamy and so can be used
under the eyes (if you need more coverage there) or on blemishes and does stay on for a fair few hours. I have completely converted my sister and my mom on this and so it’s a sure winner for my family at the very least!

When I went to Milan last September I headed into Kiko for the first time and bought the Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow (€6.90/1.64g) in the shade ‘Golden Brown’ and it was the best purchase I had made over there. IF you want an eyeshadow that doesn’t budge then this is what you want, it’s really easy to apply (you just draw on your eyelids) but then it sets and won’t come off even when you rub it.  I love this for days when I know I will be gone for hours because I don’t have to worry about creased or patchy eyeshadow. What I love about Kiko is that their quality Is better than the price they offer, and that applies to this product here. They have a bunch of shades too so be sure to check it out!

I think I am on my third or fourth tube of Maybelline The Falsies Mascara (£7.99/9ml) I am always on the hunt to find something better out there but somehow I just keep coming back to this when I want something that just works for me. I have the most useless eyelashes, they are short, flat and a greyish colour and this mascara makes them long and black not to mention it can hold a curl too, it is literally my saviour in a bottle. So if my eyelashes sound familiar to you and you haven’t used The Falsies yet, then prepare to be blown away.

I’m all about the ‘your lips but better’ look and the Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip Liner in 018 addiction (£3.99/0.25g) helps me to achieve that look, it’s quite a matte formula which means it has great longevity.  I will pair this with a lipstick but most of the time I will just add some lip balm on the top and I’m good to go. It just helps to bring a bit more colour and evenness to your lips and with the shade I have got which is a pink with a brown undertone; it will look amazing on everyone!

Top to bottom : Bourjois, Revlon, Kiko, Rimmel London

I think it’s easy to tell what kinds of products I like; if it’s quick and easy and works then I’m bound to love it. I hope this post has been helpful to you! I just wanted to show you my keepers in the drugstore that even Ottilie may not have tried! It’s always good to get different perspectives on things.

Thank you so much for reading,

Anjna

Crazy Angel Golden Tease Gradual Tan*

Crazy Angel Tan may be a brand which you associate with spray tans, but they actually have a range of at home tanning products. This Golden Tease Gradual Tan* is a new product to add to their at home tanning range, and I was so excited to be given the opportunity to try this out because sometimes full on tanning is just way too much effort and its nice to be able to build a tan up more subtlety.
