Tag | Why Do I Wear Makeup?

Hello! We were tagged to do this by Chelsea from tigerlovebeauty so thank you for tagging us and definitely check out her blog!

1. When did you begin loving makeup?

Sarah | I would say only quite recently I started wearing makeup when I was about 12/13 but not enough to say I loved it, then it was just something I used to make myself look a bit nicer.

Alanah | The same as Sarah, I only really started having more of an interest and loving makeup maybe around a year ago, but I starting wearing it earlier than that. 

2. How do you feel without makeup?

Sarah | Depends where I am and who I'm with, if I was just with friends at one of our houses or something then I'd feel normal, but out in public I'd probably feel quite self conscious. I wish I felt confident enough to go out with a bare face, but I'm sadly not.

Alanah | Again the same as Sarah, with friends at someones house I would feel totally fine without makeup on but if I was out say shopping I would at least have to have a little bit on to feel confident.

3. What do you like about makeup?

Sarah | To me, make is like a piece of clothing without it I feel onside, and I love mix and matching with colours and brands. Using make-up is like a hobby and it just makes me feel a bit better about myself wearing it.

Alanah | I love how many different looks you can make with different eye and lip colors.  I think it's fun to experiment and see what looks best on you, I love applying it and choosing new things to buy.  I also love it because it makes me feel waay more confident by covering up any insecurities and enhancing features like my eyes.

4. Three holy grail items:

Sarah | 1- My forever loved Collection ever lasting perfection concealer

             2- Benefits they're real mascara (makes my lashes look amazing)
 3- Carmex lip balm (my must have for in winter!) 

Alanah | 1 - Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer (Only black eyeliner I ever buy!)
2 - Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (Definitely makes me look more awake haha...)
3 - Sephora glossy glosses (I love lipgloss and these are my favourite!)

Mini makeup haul | Sleek, Rimmel, Clarins etc

Hello! Today I popped out to return a bag and managed to also buy a few beauty bits whilst I was in town.. woops.  Anyway, I am very excited about trying out some of these new colors on my eyes for the Fall/Autumn.  Hope you enjoy!

Sleek 'Ultra Mattes V2 Darks' Palette

I picked this up from Superdrug for just £7.99.  I was looking for a new palette with lots of different dark colors that would be perfect for Autumn/Fall, and I think I've found it!  
You get 12 eyeshadows and that makes it less than £1 each which is great value for money!

I love sleek palettes because the eyeshadows have just the right amount of pigmentation in them to create a lovely eye look when combined with some more natural colors.

The colors in this palette are very pretty and I'm looking forward to experimenting with some colors I've never used before such as 'Maple' and 'Ink'. You can get yourself one here.

Let me know if you would like to see any eye looks using this palette, or a proper review on it!

Sorry a couple of the colors don't show too much, they definitely
look better on the actual eyelid!

 Rimmer Waterproof Eye Definer '261 noir'

Just my usual eye liner! I repurchased this for the 5th time - its half way between a pencil liner and a gel liner I would say.  Definitely recommend it, perfect for winging if you aren't too confident with a liquid liner. It only cost me £3.99 in Superdrug so it's not pricey at all and definitely worth buying!

Clarins 'Gloss Appeal' lipgloss | 05 Hibiscus

Found this in TK Maxx  Usually I don't really go in there, but today my Mum was looking around and I wandered over to the makeup section (which is only small but theres quite a lot in it).  A lot of the packaging on these products had been open but this one was still packaged so I thought I'd have a look.

I was quite surprised to see such a pretty color and as it was Clarins I was pretty sure it would be good.  I think the RRP was £22 but I got it for just £7.99 so I am very happy with this!

The color comes out very nicely and perfect to chuck on when you're in a rush.

MUA 'Intense Color Eyeliner Pencil' | Forest Green

I've never tried any MUA eyeliners before and I wanted a colored one to try out.  I found this for just £1! It comes out nice a pigmented and I am looking forward to wearing with with a more neutral eye to add a bit of color quickly.  I bought this in Superdrug too, collecting my points! You can get yourself one here.

Hope you enjoyed this mini haul!

 Let me know if you'd like any looks with any of these products, or further reviews.

Also let me know any other posts you'd like to see.
