My favourite Drugstore Eyeshadows





Hello Readers!

I have decided to share with you my favourite drugstore eye shadows that I have come across so far. These are the eye shadows I tend to reach for when I want to do a bold eye shadow look. All of these eye shadows are from the drugstore and are budget friendly.

-Maybelline colour tattoo in on and on bronze- £4.99
This product is great. The pigmentation is amazing but to make it last all day I would recommend using an eye primer. This products can be applied with your fingers if you are in a wish and still look flawless. This products would be great to use on its own or with a darker shade in the crease either way your winning!

-collection little mix all about the eyes palette- £3.19
This product is amazing value for money. All of the shades are very pigmented and last all day. I love the darer shades in this palette in my crease with maybelline's colour tattoo (on and on bronze) as my base. These shades are all shimmery which I love. They can all be applied with your fingers and are very easy to blend.

-Tanya Burr cosmetics, Galaxy Eye shadow palette- £6.00
I was very impressed with this product. Firstly I loved the packaging, very professional. All 4 shades are very pigmented and build-able. The shades can be applied with your fingers or a brush and blend with ease. This product is good value for money and can be found in superdrug. After purchasing this product it has made me want to go back and buy all of her range to try out for you. I Was amazed with how long the shadow stayed on for, this palette has the longest staying power of any eye shadows I have tried. The product packaging is small so is great for travelling and has a mirror inside so it is very convenient.

I would recommend all of these products.

Elegant touch rapid dry

Hello readers!

Recently I have been addicted to shopping in the Drugstores as they are such great value for money compared to higher brands. If you want me to review any of the products mentioned please let me know in the comments.

I brought two Barry M nail polishes from superdrug recently. The first shade I brought was called 'Almond' this grabbed my attention as it was a neutral colour. I thought this colour would be perfect for when you are trying to grow your nails as it isn't a noticeable, bold colour. The other nail polish I brought was a topcoat,base coat and nail strengthener in one. I brought this because I was interested if it did all of the things promised. 

Next I brought a makeup brush cleanser to quickly clean my brushes in-between washes. I was interested to see weather this product worked and if my brushes remained in good condition.

Then I brought a heat defence from VO5. This claimed to tame frizz and flyaways whilst protecting the hair from damage during blow drying. I was interested in this product as my hair always goes really frizzy after I blow dry it.

I also brought Garnier's moisture restore night cream. I have extremely dry skin especially on my forehead so I was looking for a night cream to help my skin out. This product claims to revitalise skin which I definitely need.

I was running out of nail polish remover so I picked one up whilst I was in superdrug. Finally I brought  the Elegant Touch rapid dry for nails as I am very impatient when waiting for nails to dry. This products promises dry nails in one minute! 

If you would like a review of any products comment below and I will do that for you!

Review: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Fatigue Blur Primer

Hello readers!

Recently I have purchased Maybelline's baby skin instant fatigue blur primer (such a long name!). I have heard mixed reviews about this product so I decided to give it a go myself.

This product is easy to blend into the skin and isn't oily at all. This primer helps my makeup last all day whilst making it look flawless and my face look healthier. This product also improves the way my skin looks without foundation as it looks more radiant, glowy and healthy. However I do think this product can be quite expensive if you are on a budget (like I am, student life). I would recommend this product.

Overall rating- 3/5
price- £7.99

Have you tried Maybelline's primers?
