So if you know me you'll know I'm a sucker for a good lipliner/lipstick combo, the pouts everything. Ive noticed recently that when I buy my fave MAC Spice liner, it'll make one outing with me and then the next morning its no where to be found. Basically throwing away £14 at a time- which isn't sound with me really. In the search for a new replacement I found myself drifting toward my usual Barry M liner to substitute, bought that and thought I was good to go. As most of you know from twitter Ive been decorating like mad recently, to get ready for my youtube channel.

When it comes to home decor, nick nacks and candles the first place ill drift over to is Primark. Obviously I bagged a candle here and there, maybe a room spray or a pillow (ill get to that in another post). The mother was taking her time (as usual) and I seen a few posts about the PS Love range that Primark has and took the opportunity to go check it out. Soooo me being the impulsive buyer/hoarder I picked up every colour available in the Argyle Street shop in these cool lipliner and lip crayons. At a pound or two each it wasn't going to hurt the pocket.  So here they are guys.

So this is where I rave about how amazing they are... but honestly I now have 5 of the shade 'Brown'. So lets give you a run down of the colours I picked up and reviewed. Starting with the Velvet Matte Lipstick Crayons (left to right) I have Natural, Nude & Wine. Trust me the Nude crayon substitutes on college days for my MAC love 'Velvet Teddy'. Now onto the liners (again left to right) we have, Brown, Natural, Nude, Pink, Wine & Red. These liners are absolutely, positively the best things I've ever bought from Primark and at £1 I would buy every shade at least 4 times. I mix them with my MAC shades, drugstore ones and the crayons and they look fabulous and last all day.

I mean you can see just how much I've used the wine liner & I've struggled to find this shade again since. They have such great pigmentation and consistency, please, please, pleaseeee go try these out. So here they are, theres nothing much more I can say without boring you. Go pick at least one of these up and comment below or tweet me about your experience or any new shades.

So I obviously need to apologise as well for not posting in so long, but its been a hectic couple of months. Im not going to make hundreds of excuses life just got super duper in the way. But I'm here and ill be posting hopefully twice a week (depending on college schedule). 2016 is going to be fab & I love that you guys will be a big part of it. So if you want to collab or speak with me, get me in the usual ways.  Have a fab weekend and ill be speaking to you shortly.

Too Much Information - T.M.I Tag

As part of my first Blogmas I'm still getting used to coming up with new blog ideas everyday and making sure that I'm not just rambling. So today I was just having a little think about what I love to read on blogs and watch on my Youtube, then thought why not tell you guys some things you probably didn't already know about me. Ive already started making little confessions here and there so I'm just going to jump into the deep end with a TMI tag post. Answering a collection of 50 questions which I need to answer honestly, so I'm just going to type as I think and avoid hitting the backspace button (which could end badly) so I apologise in advance.

So I hope this keeps you entertained on this cold day, let me know if you've completed any TMI Tag recently and link it to me either on one of the social medias, below or by email.

Monday Pick-me Ups ft. My Latest Obsession

So Mondays tend to be that day of the week where I kinda wrap myself In my duvet and just skink back into dreaminess. Which is allowed here and there (and trust me I'm a huge advocate of that), but today I just had a few extra special reasons to get out of bed. Well really the only thing that can get me out of bed is either pancakes and bacon or the postman. Sadly it wasn't to the smell of maple syrup, but deliveries are just as sweet. So if you've read my previous blog post you'll know I had a little splurge when I got paid and one quick look on Superdrug got me a teeny tiny bit carried away.

You could say that I'm currently going through a "phase" where all I've wanted is makeup brushes. Now I don't know if this is just me, but all the makeup brushes that have been released in anticipation for Christmas are just super shiny, pretty and metallic (which are 3 things that pretty much cause me to have heart palpitations). I mean I would've held off and asked St Nick for these, but they where right there basically screaming about how much I needed them. So Ive already spoken about the Makeup Revolution Ultra Metals collection but I might have bought their other makeup brush set, and I don't even regret it a little. Have a look though would you ?

These Makeup Revolution Ultra Scuplt and Blend collection are the ultimate go to brushes, they fit nicely into my tiny little makeup bag for work and college. Meaning I can maintain that sculpted and well highlighted face throughout the day without taking my full brush collection everywhere I go. I can already tell that we're going to have a wonderful brush-to-face relationship because the brush hairs are so soft but yet nicely dense to put in the graft so you don't need to. The little blending sponge feels just like my beauty blender so I'm exited to give that a shot as well. These 3 brushes and the blending sponge only cost me £14.99 from Superdrug, though I am sure the Makeup Revolution website offers them there as well.  Ill use them on todays contour and let you know via Twitter how that goes @HauteBothered_. 

Now in the previous blog I mentioned my love for Real Techniques brushes, I must say they have been in my collection for the longest and are super reliable. Before this purchase though I was feeling a little bit like there wasn't much momentum on the brushes in the lower price range. However my doubts are gone and the have released some fantastic new sets all in time for Christmas. The one you'll see below is the Deluxe Holiday Set featuring 2 set exclusives which I believe are the 'Tapered Foundation Brush' & the 'Angled Highlighter Brush'.  The set then contains a Multi-task Brush, Fine Liner Brush & Base Shadow brush (which I already had but ill probably use this one for nose contour). The new look for these brushes is amazing, the brushes still have the same colours to determine their use however its like they've been upgraded to a hybrid metallic look. Along with these brushes you're able to see it on their Collectors Edition Eyelining Set which ill link at the bottom of this post, for all you eyeliner lovers. 

I forgot to mention up top but with this set which Superdrug are offering for £20 (thats £10 off RRP) you also get an cute little silver clutch to put your brushes in when you're on the go. How sweets that? You've got everything you need there really for a full face look; whether you're using the Multi-Brush for blush, powder or bronzing, the Tapered Foundation for concealer or foundation. Thats what I love about real techniques for, the versatility in each brush and how it can be used in a different way. Again the synthetic fibres are so soft and gentle for your face and they really can pack product despite this.

I love love love both these brush sets and bought them together with the intention of combining both sets to have everything thing I need for the upcoming party season. Whether it be to touch up during the night or for reapplying in the morning (wink,wink). Both sets present purposes which I go for, a flawless finish and a well sculpted look. So far I highly recommend them on the look, feel and just experience with both beauty brands overall. But ill be sure to post more on Twitter and Instagram once I've gotten the hang of them.

Ive already added these brushes to christmas lists for all the chicas en mi familia, for gifts along with some other favourites to let them have a go. Anyway thanks anyway for checking out this post, hopefully I won't have anymore brush buying tendencies in the next month or so. Cant make any promises though. Everything will be linked below if you want to have a look at some of the products in todays blog.
