September Haul

September Make-Up and Beauty Haul
The month of September means I'm back at University, which also means I'm back with my friend Izzy who is a bit of a Make-Up shopping fiend like myself. So when we get together, beauty buying gets a little out of hand...
L'Oreal True Match Foundation-2.N Vanilla
After returning to my normal pale self after my holiday tan had vanished, my summer foundation was too dark which meant an excuse for a new foundation.The L'Oreal True Match has received great reviews from beauty bloggers, with it being almost identical to Armani's Luminous Silk which will set you back £35 per bottle, so this £8 dupe was a steal. It has a great medium coverage that applies beautifully and is incredibly light to wear, without feeling like you're wearing a lot of Make-Up. A great foundation at a bargain price.
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
For a while I fell out with my Smashbox Primer but I've fallen in love with it all over again. With a price tag of £12.50 for a 12ml bottle, it seems expensive but is totally worth the money. It is silicone based so provides a smooth, silky base for your foundation whilst blurring out any open pores or fine lines before applying your foundation. It is no doubt one of the best high street primer's out there so treat yourself to a bottle.
Lacura Q10 Gentle Daily Face Cream for Dry and Sensitive skin-£1.49
With the quality and price of this wonder moisturiser, I'll never use another again! This gorgeous face cream from Aldi is great to apply before putting on Make-Up as it moisturises, but isn't greasy or oily, giving that unwanted shine before we put on our face. It rubs in wonderfully and smells beautiful, so who can argue with a £1.50 bottle of perfection?
Revolution Make-Up Fixing Spray-£5
A new Make-Up brand to high street beauty giant Superdrug and has fast become one of my favourites. They have great quality Make-Up at bargain prices, with plenty of dupes! This spray is a dupe of Urban Decay's Setting Spray which is £25 a bottle, so to find something just as good for £5, it would be rude not to buy it! Two sprays after applying your Make-Up will make sure it stays all day. It has a strange smell but does a great job of setting your Make-Up.
Revolution Make-Up Double Flick Thick and Thin Liquid Eyeliner-£3.50
This is hands down the best liquid eyeliner pen I have ever used. Better than my L'Oreal Paris Super Liner and my Benefit 'They're Real' Push Up Liner, so at £3.50, it's an absolute god-send. It has two ends one to line your upper lash line, and the other to perfect the cat eye flick, both of which enable you to create that vintage look with ease. Like the Fixing Spray above, find this and many more bargain beauty buys from the Revolution Make-Up counter in any Superdrug store.
Kiko Invisible Powder- £11.90
My new brand love apart from Revolution is Kiko. Their products are great quality, at affordable prices. This setting powder is great to apply after concealer and foundation as it sets your base, ensuring it creates no shine and adds no extra colour to your base either. It is super light and does exactly what it says on the tin, meaning your foundation and concealer won't budge when applying the rest of your Make-Up.
Kiko Pencil Lip Gloss- £3.90
This product is simply genius and takes away the mess and fuss of applying and wearing your standard lip gloss. It creates a great shine but is super soft and applies wonderfully. With 16 different shades, there's one to suit everyone, but I picked up shade 11 Mauve Beige which I'm obsessed with and haven't stopped wearing! There's both neutral and bright shades, so whatever your desired look, this range has it covered and at £3.90, why don't you have one already? 

There's some super great products in this haul ladies, so if your Make-Up bag is in need of an update, then get spending!
love,
