ANOTHER boots haul :)

Oh dear I headed into boots again, saying that I haven't popped into boots since before my holiday which was at the end of may so I think I've done quite well as I know how much damage it can be to our cards lol. I am in love with soap and glory makeup atm, Ive seen these 3 Soap and Glory products being raved about quite a bit, especially the kick ass concealer and one heck of a blot, I did need a new powder but I didn't need the kick ass concealer in light which properly wont match me at the moment, but it was calling my name and I just had to pick it up same goes to there mother pucker gloss stick in 'nudeist', I love trying all different lip products, and you can't go wrong with a lovely nude lip. I did need a new concealer as I've got a bit of a tan now so I needed to go up a shade so I went for the Maybelline fit me concealer in 10, I'm hoping to wear this on its own with no foundation when it nice and hot outside. I'm always looking for new conditioners especially in this heat when my hair goes all crazy and frizzy, so I saw this Garnier Ultimate Conditioner The sleek restorer with coconut oil and cocoa butter for dry frizzy hair, I thought this would be perfect, I've smelt it and its smells amazing.

I know everyone loves a boots haul, so I thought id share with you what I got, I will probably do some reviews of the products once I've started using them, so definitely look out for that <3

Caudalie Beauty Elixir Review

This is my first ever Caudalie product, I've heard a lot about this brand and product so was super excited when i got my hands on this. 

So what is it? Its a beauty mist inspired by the elixir of youth, used by queen Isabella of hungary, this mist smoothes features, tightens pores, and provides an instant burst of radiance to the complexion.

This comes in a glass bottle with a fine mist spray, It contains grape, orange blossom, rose organic balm mint and rosemary. It can be used as part of you skincare routine so once you've cleansed you can then use this as a toner, or to set your make up, or just to use in the day to give your skin a little pick up. Ive been using this for all them things its very refreshing. The scent of this is very strong which I didn't expect, its very minty, now some people may like the scent but for me its a little overpowering. The main thing is, has it done anything to my skin, the answer is no it hasn't i can't notice any benefits from this product, I've been using it for quite  a bit and my skin just looks the same like always, The only thing I like about it is that it makes my skin look a 
bit more radiant which isn't a bad thing really, 

I wish I did fall in love with this product as Ive heard such great things, I wish it did do wonder to my skin but guess some products just don't work the same as it does for others, Its just like any other spray I've used. I wont be purchasing this again.

Have you tried anything for Caudalie?

My Top 5 Makeup Brushes

I don't think Ive seen many Makeup Brush posts, I could be wrong but I've only seen a few. These brushes are also what I use on a daily basis, It was very hard to narrow it down. So lets begin..

Elf Stippling Brush 
 This brush can be used for foundation but I personally find it brilliant for cream blushes and bronzing, its the perfect size to apply on your cheekbones and its not super dense so it wont pick up too much product, its super soft too, its great that you can use a brush for more than one thing. Retails for £3.95 which you can't go wrong for.

Real Techniques Contour Brush & Buffing Brush 
This brush is from the set 'The Core Collection Kit' and I really do believe its worth buying the set just for the 2 brushes, the other 2 brushes aren't bad but I personally wont be using them,  Starting with the Buffing Brush this is great for foundation this is one of the brushes ill only use now, this buffs my foundation so well and makes it look so flawless and never makes my foundation streak. Now the Contour Brush I personally don't use this for contouring, i think this is great for blending in concealer, it fits perfectly under the eyes and blends really well and it super soft. Retails at £21.99.

Mac 134 
 This brush is great for powder, its so big, fluffy and soft, its great for when your in a rush just sweep it all over your face and your fully powdered. I find it much easier to clean than my other brushes but you wouldn't think that because its big, the only downfall is the price £40.00 which is actually ridiculous but lucky enough I got this for Christmas, but I think you could find much better brushes for half the price. 

Sedona Lace Synthetic Flat Top  
I'm also loving this brush for applying my foundation, I love how soft and easy it blends, my skin looks flawless every time I use this,  It quite hard to clean because of how dense it is but it doesn't shred. Love Love Loveeee it. It retails at $18.95 and in pounds that's roughly £11.07.

So there are my top 5 Brushes, I hope you enjoyed this post as I love seeing what every ones uses for their makeup. Definitely leave a comment telling me your favourite brushes Im always looking for more to try :)

Top 4 Beauty Mistakes

When used wisely, makeup can do wonders for our look, but when over done, it can completely ruin our complexion.  Loads of us have made some beauty blunders, so here are a few listed below.

The more make the the better?
When it comes to makeup, less is defiantly more, whether you are layering your foundation, bronzer or eyeshadow ect..  too much can make you look older and draw attention, caked foundation settles into your fine lines and over done eyes will take away your natural beauty.

Foundation Mistake 
 No make up mistake draws more negative attention than the line where your foundation ends and your real skin colour begins, while its tempting to go up a shade or two darker to achieve a sun kissed glow, the result will be cheap and fake looking. 

Skipping Moisturiser 
 If you realise it or not moisturiser is the most important step, not only will it keep your skin looking youthful and helps get rid of fine lines,  it will make your makeup blend in better with your skin. 

Bad Blush
 When people use the wrong blush or apply it in the wrong spot, it can look harsh and abit clown looking, choose colours that are soft and sheer, and apply lightly over the cheek bones. 


I thought this was such a  fun little tag to do as Ive not done something like this before. Hope you enjoyed reading some beauty mistakes :) x
