GARNIER MICELLAR RANGE.

I wanted to talk about two products that I have been loving for a long time now because I thought they deserved the recognition.
The two products are from the 'Garnier Skin Naturals' range and they are basically the same style of product; a make up remover, just in two different forms - either 'Micellar Water' or 'Micellar Wipes'.

I originally started off using the Micellar water, which I have now been using for around a year and I still love it just as much as when I first started using it.
When it comes to my make up I think its probably fair to say that I wear quite a heavy coverage of make up, so when It comes to removing it I need something that's going to do the job well but without it being a strong/heavy product that's going to cause irritation or damage to my skin. Therefore this is why I thought I'd try this product after hearing so many good things about it, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. 
This product Is so, so good for removing all kinds of make up whether that's foundation, lipstick, eyeliner or mascara. This product just works. 
If any of you use or have tried Benefits 'They're Real Mascara' or their 'Push Up Liner' you'll know that those products can be tough to remove.. but not with this Micellar water!
It's just an absolute dream for removing make up without having to rub away at your face and I find it to be so gentle on my skin. For me this product is absolute perfection!

Now onto my new found love in this range, the Micellar Wipes!
These essentially do what the water does, just in a wipe form and yes, they are just as good! The feel of them is so soft, its almost as though the wipes have a soft soapy feel to them but without actually being soap! Agh! It's really hard to explain what I mean but they really are so soft and gentle on my skin, and they just make it feel like my make up's sliding away off my face. They really are so good in my opinion!

Please let me know if you've tried these products as I'd love to know your thoughts!

MAC PAINT POTS.

I've been using MAC products for a few years now and its definitely a brand that I trust and go back to, especially when it comes to their eyeshadows and lipsticks, (their Ruby Woo lipstick is probably my all time favourite and I know I'll buy another as soon as the one I have runs out). Focusing back on their eyeshadows for today though, I thought I'd share two products that I've used time and time again.

I am definitely one of those people that are drawn in by pretty colours. Golds and bronzes are my favourite colours when it comes to eyeshadows so I think thats why I use these so much.
The product is a creamy consistency opposed to a powder but I find that this makes them so easy to apply, I more often than not just used my fingertips to apply!
The products are also really pigmented, so it takes a matter of seconds to built up a really good colour.
One thing I would say that I've found with using these products is that you may want to use an eye primer or just put on a light powder eyeshadow before applying these if you want to help your product last all day. The product will stay on all day without but a primer or powder just helps to keep the full colour!

MAC PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER.

Leading on from my lost post where I spoke about my current favourite foundation, which you can read here I thought that I'd share with you all what concealer I'm also loving currently because I think that they are a match made in heaven!

Up until trying out this MAC Concealer I have never actually found a concealer that conceals! As stupid as that sounds but I've always found that with other concealers that they've been good to use for highlighting purely because of the shade but not so good when it comes to concealing spots or red areas. With this one it actually conceals! 
The product is quite a thick consistency, so if you like to wear lighter make up then you may find that this is too heavy but I don't mind that at all so for me this product does the job! 
I purposely bought this concealer in a lighter shade to my foundation because although I use it to conceal spots and red areas before applying my foundation, I then also use it over the top of my foundation for highlighting/contouring as well. I find that this product lasts all day in terms of highlighting/contouring purposes and personally also in terms of concealing purposes but depending on what you're concealing you might find that you may need to touch up your make up throughout the day. 

What concealers would you recommend, or have you tried this one?

ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR FOUNDATION.

First of all I just need to start of by saying this foundation is a holy grail product of mine. I have been using this foundation for over a year now and I absolutely love it! 
Before purchasing this foundation I'd purposely searched for Blog and YouTube reviews on foundations that were good for covering acne, I don't suffer from acne myself and I'm lucky that I'm not a particularly spotty person but I really wanted a foundation that would be a good full coverage, so in the hopes of achieving as close to a flawless finish as possible I thought that If a foundation worked for covering acne then it would easily be able to handle covering up my small breakouts. 

I can't fault this foundation at all, It has such a good full coverage, it lasts all day and I never have to touch it up! Also when fully blended it has a matte finish (which I prefer) so my oily t-zone is kept at bay.
This foundation can be quite a heavy one if you use too much, or for anyone that prefers a more natural, light coverage so this foundation may be your idea of a nightmare if thats not what you're looking for, but if you want a fuller coverage and enjoy wearing a full face of make up then this foundation may be a product that you would benefit from looking into. 

Have you tried this product?

10 INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.

Quotes, Lyrics, and lines from films are something that I use to help keep me inspired and motivated day to day. I love finding good quotes on Tumblr that I can relate to, lyrics that mean something to me and lines from films that I literally feel could have been written for my life! I'm sure we all have at least one little quote that we feel relates to us perfectly or that one song that you keep to listen to just because the lyrics are exactly what you're thinking - so here are ten of my most favourite quotes - enjoy! 

"Everything happens for a reason".

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams".

"Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway".

"One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching".

"No matter how big your house is, how new your car is, how full your wallet is, our graves will always be the same size. Stay humble".

"Your struggle is part of your story".

"Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever".

"Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will".

"And though she be but little, she is fierce".

"At a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by... you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are... especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself... But I am this person. And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love".

So there are ten out of probably hundreds of quotes, lyrics and lines that I can relate to, let me know if you relate to any of these - and please let me know what your favourite quotes/lyrics/lines are.
