Top 5 makeup products under £5

With so many products on the market it's so difficult to know what is worth splurging on and what you can get for less. There are some amazing items on the highstreet but many of those often recommended are in the £5-£12 price bracket but there are some hidden gems for under £5 and I'd like to highlight my top 5!

Bad beauty habits

Firstly I'd like to apologise for the fact there was no post on Wednesday, I had a test at Uni on Friday and was nervously revising!

Apology aside, there are many things we do day in day out when it comes to beauty but for most (me included) there are certainly some which aren't such good habits, for some it may be not removing makeup or not cleaning makeup brushes but they're ones that I'm very particular about and never neglect to do!

MAC : Top 5 things I'd recomend

For many years I didn't see why so many of my friends used MAC so much. Almost all of their makeup came from the brand. Nowadays with so many makeup brands and products on offer we tend to 'cocktail' our makeup and beauty products. By this I mean that we may have a L'Oreal foundation, a Maybelline mascara, Urban Decay eyeshadows and Clarins lipsticks. We rarely stick solely to one brand. However, I thought it'd be nice to take a brand every now and then and tell you what I think are their best products (from what I've tried). I hope this is helpful if you've never bought something from MAC but are tempted or if like me you (now), love the brand and are looking for something new to try.

Haul & First Impressions : Boots, Superdrug, Wilko and ASOS

Today I thought I'd add post an extra blog post, I usually post on Wednesdays and Sundays but here is a cheeky extra Friday post for you all! I don't often do haul blog posts as I find they're often more effective in the form of a YouTube video as you can chat about each product a bit more and show it to the audience better but none-the-less over the past couple of weeks of the Easter holidays I've bought various beauty related things on separate occasions and thought I would share my purchases with you all with a mini first impressions too!

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour Review & Swatches

I popped into Boots the other day and was looking for some new makeup releases and stumbled upon some new matte liquid lipsticks from Revlon. They're called the Ultra HD Matte Lipcolours and come in a gorgeous array of colours. Ranging from nudes to bright bold pinks, reds and purples priced at £8.99 but Revlon is often on 3 for 2 so look out for that!

Nivea Post Shave Balm : is it worth the rave reviews?

Today I'm talking about something I never thought I'd be mentioning on my blog and that's a mens shaving balm... odd I know! But recently the Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm has been raved about on blogs and Youtube videos for being 'the best primer' out there. In my opinion thats a pretty big claim but I thought I would test this out when I found it half price in Wilko. It was discovered and reviewed by NikkiTutorials last year. Recently it's sold out in every Boots and Superdrug as it's so popular.
