This is a selection of my favourite makeup products at the moment.

They're all super cheap, under 10€. I have a few favourite brands that are going to be repeated all throughout the different posts.

For some of the ''necessary'' categories to do a full face I don't have a favourite product or maybe I even skip it completely in my routine.

*Disclaimer: I'm not a professional. I'm just an aficionado and talk about things that have worked for me. Most of the packaging is pretty busted because this is stuff I use every day. Also, makeup that looks used can only tell about how much it is enjoyed.

COMPLEXION

- W7 Selfie Powder: around 3€. talc based compact setting powder. Very soft. Gives the skin a very airbrushed look without needing to cake products on. It's a completely white powder with a tinge of blue in it (I'd say), so it will probably look ashy in darker skin tones. Keeps my t zone matte, but I have a tendency to dry skin.

- Essence Luminous Matt bronzing powder in 01 Sunshine: around 4€. this is the first out of two shades, I believe, so go figure, shade selection sucks. Despite that, this is an awesome bronzer for fair skin. It's warm but it doesn't pull too orange. There's two rings to the product: the outer part is matte and darker and the inner part is fairer and softly shimmery. Together, they make a pretty natural satin finish on the skin. I've also used the darker shade in my crease and the lighter in my lid and it makes for a soft, natural eyeshadow look.

- Makeup Revolution Radiant Lights in Breathe: around 6€. This is supposed to be a highlighter. I definitely bought it with that intent, but it's way too dark for my skin tone, so I use it as a glowy blush-bronzer in the winter months when I'm at my fairest. It's the most natural, shimmer-free, GORGEOUS highlighter on medium and olive skins. It breaks my heart I can't use it that way. The packaging in this is busted because I dropped it, but it comes in a nice black sleek casing with gold lettering and a good mirror the same size of the compact.

- Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer in 10 Porcelain: around 4€. I wouldn't 100% say this is my favourite concealer because I still haven't found the perfect one for me, but I have repurchased this concealer multiple times. This one is a tad too drying for my liking, but my skin is somewhat dry and my under eyes are too. This has very good coverage and a little goes a long way, but it can be built up. It claims to be waterproof and I can't swear that, but it's definitely the most longlasting out of all the ones I've tried. It does have a quite strong perfume-y scent that I find super unnecessary, but it disappears after it's blended. Again, shade range sucks, limited to four shades of beige white. I hear they're working on it, though. Wouldn't recommend to very dry skin or sentive eyes.

Ok so this is something a little different to what im used to posting, and i haven’t posted in sometime, kinda fell out of love with tumblr. But lets try again shall we.

So i recently brought this and i thought would just give you load down on what i thought of it. So as we know mattes are all still in and i am one very happy woman for that. I love me a matte lippy and im really feeling this one at the moment. So w7 are a lesser known brand that dont really get much of a push here in the uk. Not many drugstore/ highstreet stores stock this brand and you are more likely to find them online than anywhere else. I got this in a store called choice which sell discounted branded goods from previous seasons of stock that the store may not have been able to shift. The price was only £2 but they only had 3 shades. I vowed at the beginning of the year to try colours that were out of my comfort zone and so here i am with oddball. You get 7lm/ 0.20 fluid ounce.

Ok so on to the product itself, this is a very very creamy formula in itself and smells very nice. Colour is called oddball and is a rose pink shade. It dries quick and leaves a very comfortable feel on the lips. One swipe and its very opaque so you can get away with just one layer if desired. Kinda Reminds me of the body shop matte lipsticks retailed at £6 with the texture and smell but these are more opaque. Another big plus to this brand for me personally is that it is 100% cruelty free as is the whole w7 brand. As a side note you can purchase some odd bits of w7 in TK maxx also.

Apologies for the long post but a massive thank you if you read this far, let me know if you liked this sort of post or not.
