How much is your face worth?

Hey everyone,

So I saw this post on this blog the other day and I thought that it was a good blog post idea...

http://apinchofshaz.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/how-much-is-your-face-worth.html

So you basically have to add up the makeup which you are wearing on your face at the moment and see how much it all comes to and that will be the how much your face is worth. So lets get into it...

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream = £27.50

Maybelline Age Rewind concealer = £7.99

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder = £3.99

Benefit Creasless Cream Shadow in Bikini-tini = £15.50

Collection work the colour solo eye shadow in Rosy Gold = £2.19

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof eye liner in Nude = £3.99
Sleek eye shadow limited edition sparkle palette = £7.99
Sleek face contour kit = £6.49
Rimmel blush in Santa Rosa = £4.00
MUA undress me highlighter = £3.00
W7 77 eye shadow palette = £14.00
Bourjois Liner Feutre in Ultra Black = £6.99
Lancôme Mascara = £0.00 = freebie :)

Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch = £2.99
Mac Sheen Supreme lipstick in Royal Azalea = £15.50

Grand Total = £122.12

Wow... I didn't expect it to be this much! I don't use that many high end products so I'm very surprised that all of these drugstore products added up to something that big.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I'd love to see how much your face is worth haha :) 

P.S. I hope that you like that I'm trying to post more often... I feel that I'm finally getting into the routine of writing more posts x

I ♥ Drugstore Makeup Tag

Hey everyone,

So I saw Gabriella (velvetgh0st on youtube) do this tag recently :

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By7zne-U_k0

So I thought that I'd have a go at answering the questions. I'm not sure if there are any other versions of this tag or if there are different questions but these are the ones which she had answered in her video.
So lets get into it.....

Question 1.

What is your favourite drugstore make-up brand overall?

There are a few drugstore make-up brands that I like to buy from and I used to get a lot from Revlon especially there Lip butters but lately,  I tend to buy from Rimmel and Maybelline. So I'd have to say that overall, my favourite drugstore make-up brand is Maybelline. Their colour tattoos are beautiful and I love the baby lips.

Question 2.

What are your favourite face/cheek/ lip products?

I have to say that one of my favourite face products has to be the Maybelline Anti-Age The Eraser Eye concealer, which I mentioned in my August Favourites a few months ago. Read here. I use this product everyday and it gives such good coverage to my under eye circles and any little blemishes that you'd like to cover up.

To go with this concealer, I have another drugstore favourite and it is the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. I use this everyday on top of my concealer to prevent it from creasing and it also helps to make my make-up stay on for longer and doesn't feel heavy or caked at all and is such a bargain.

My favourite drugstore cheek product has to be the Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush in Santa Rose. This blush is so pretty and natural on my skin and gives my skin a slight rose tint. 


I have many, many favourite lip products from drugstores because I tend to buy drugstore lip products rather than high end because they are still of such good quality from drugstore brands. However, some of my favourite lip products are lipsticks, like the Revlon Lip Butters.

 But recently, in the fall I like to wear darker colours and in my recent blog post about Autumn/fall lipsticks, read here, I showed the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Matte Lipsticks. These have to be some of my favourite lipsticks that I've owned and last for a long time on my lips as said in the name and they are also very matte which I tend to opt for in a lipstick rather than it having a sheen. 

My final favourite lip products have to be the Maybelline Baby Lips. I know many people have mentioned these multiple times before but they really are such a good, affordable product.

Question no.3

What is your least favourite drugstore makeup product?

There really aren't many products that I don't like but if I had to name one it would have to be the Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara. I brought this mascara at the time when it was very popular but after a short time, it dried up and would work as well and I felt that it didn't coat my eyelashes very well.

Question no.4

What is your biggest makeup bargain?

I have to say that my biggest makeup bargain was the MUA Undress Me Highlighter which I brought for only £3 from superdrugs. This highlighter is so pigmented for such a cheap price and is such a pretty colour. I'd have to say overall, all of the MUA makeup is such a great bargain at such a low price but the quality of the makeup is very good and highly pigmented.

Question no.5

What is your favourite underdog product (something that gets overlooked)?

I'm not totally sure what this means but I love the sleek eye shadow palettes! They are so pigmented and very affordable.

Question no.6

A drugstore product that is overpriced?

I can't think of an individual product that is overpriced but I think that some types of drugstore products are overpriced like some facial moisturisers and some cleansers.


Question no.7

Show your best drugstore dupes...

Well, I only found one close dupe in my makeup collection and this drugstore lipstick is very similar but isn't as matte. The high end lipstick is the Mac Riri Woo lipstick which I featured in my Autumn/Fall Lipsticks post and the drugstore dupe if the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in 111 Kiss of Life.

These two lipsticks are very similar but I think the Rimmel lipstick is slightly more orange.

Question no.8

A drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

I think that the Maybelline mascaras weren't worth the hype, I brought the Colossal Cat Eyes mascara by Maybelline at the time because they were very hyped about but when I was using it, it dried up very quickly and wasn't very useful anymore. However, the packaging was cute though haha :)

Would you rather tag - Beauty Edition

Hey everyone, 

So I've posted a few makeup related posts now and I thought I would do a more chatty/lifestyle post so that you can have the chance to learn a bit more about me. So for today's post I thought that I would do the 'Would you rather tag?' but the 'beauty edition'. So lets get into the questions...
(P.S I might have changed some of the options because I don't live in America x)
I'll put the chosen ones in bold :)

BLUSH or bronzer
 I definitely prefer blush because i'm not very good at contouring

lip gloss or LIPSTICK 
 I prefer lipstick to lip gloss because it lasts longer and gives much better colour pigmentation and isn't sticky

eyeliner or MASCARA 
 Although eyeliner is great, mascara definitely defines your eyes more

FOUNDATION or concealer
Definitely foundation because if I was going to wear some type of coverage, I would use this because I don't have many spots for concealer but the foundation could even out my skin tone.

NEUTRAL or coloured eye shadow
I prefer neutral to coloured because neutral eye shadow looks more natural and not too much for everyday looks.

PRESSED or loose eye shadows
Although I own many loose eye shadows, I prefer to use pressed because its easier to control the amount of product that I use and it doesn't go everywhere.

BRUSHES or sponges
I have never used sponges to apply my makeup because I like using brushes because they are just easier to control and also make it easier to blend products.

Next category...

OPI or china glaze

 I prefer OPI because they are very good quality but I'm gradually liking the china glaze 

colours too

LONG or short
I prefer to have long nails because they look more elegant and pretty

acrylic or NATURAL
I've never had acrylic nails before because I think that they will just damage my nails and I have naturally long nails anyway. However, I really like the look of stiletto nails:

BRIGHTS or darks

I prefer brights, they just look prettier. (although I do like dark colours because there are many in the picture above)

Next category...

perfume or BODY SPLASH

I prefer body splashes because they aren't as heavy as perfumes but I still do love perfumes.

lotion or BODY BUTTER

I like body butters more than lotions because the ones that I own seem to be richer and have a long lasting smell

BODY WASH or soap

This one is very easy for me to choose. I NEVER use a bar of soap, I always use body wash because its easier to lather up and you can get so many different scents of them.

LUSH or other bath company

I definitely prefer lush but there are many bath companies out there that sell very nice products. Such as: soap and glory, rituals and ted baker 

Next...

JEANS or sweat pants

I prefer jeans because they look smarter and besides, I don't own many pairs of sweat pants

long sleeve or SHORT

Definitely short sleeve because there are so many short sleeve tops but not as many long sleeve

DRESSES or skirts

I prefer dresses because they are easier to wear and look elegant

STRIPES or plaid

I own so much striped stuff so its definitely stripes.

flip flops or SANDALS

You can buy so many different types of sandals with different shapes and styles whereas flip flops all look the same.

scarves or HATS

I wear more hats then scarves and I love beanies.

STUDS or dangly earrings

I own about 50/50 of each sort but I definitely wear the studs more than the dangly earrings.

NECKLACES or bracelets

I prefer wearing necklaces because they seem to fit my neck and don't annoy me through the day. Whereas, many bracelets don't fit me because I have small wrists and they tend to annoy me through the day and I end up taking them off.

HEELS or flats
I prefer heels but they can sometimes be uncomfortable

COWBOY BOOTS or riding boots
I prefer cowboy boots just because they look prettier.

JACKET or hoodie
I think that I own more jackets then hoodies, they can go with everything and they dress up the look.

Next category...

CURLY or straight
I have dead straight hair but have always wanted curls 

bun or PONYTAIL 
I definitely prefer a ponytail, its quicker, easier to do and I don't have to worry about bits falling out.

BOBBY PINS or butterfly clips
Bobby pins look better

HAIR SPRAY or gel
Although hair spray might not have as strong a hold, I haven't used gel because I think that if I had short hair then I would but I have long hair.

LONG or short
This is a hard decision because I have had short hair many time before and I love it but then I want long hair. Then when I have long hair I want short hair. But at the moment I have long hair so lets go with that.

SIDE SWEPT FRINGE or full fringe
I had a full fringe when I was little but I don't think I suited it.

UP or down
I definitely prefer up(but at the moment it's down drying haha)

Final category...

rain or SHINE

I don't like it when it rains, whereas the sun makes me happy :D

SUMMER or winter
There is much more things to wear and do in the summer

autumn or SPRING
Spring looks prettier

chocolate or VANILLA 
Chocolate can sometimes be took rich
