Mac Palette

After watching the amount of you tube videos that I do you will see that everyone has the 15 piece eye shadow palettes. Mac eye shadows have the most amazing pigmentation and blend so easily, they also last all day looking just the same many hours after doing your eye make up. I didn't want to go straight into getting the 15 piece eye shadow palette so decided to get a quad. 

The four colours I got were:

Cranberry 

All That Glitters

Woodwinked 

Mulch  

I use the Pink Gold colour tattoo when using All That Glitters and Cranberry 
and the On and On Bronze colour tattoo when using Woodwinked and Mulch.

I don't have a mac store near me or any shops that sell mac (I live in the WORST place for shopping!!) I got my palette at the beginning of December and wasn't going shopping anywhere that had a Mac so chose the colours from what I had seen being used during you tube videos and from blog posts of what other bloggers had added to their palettes.  

A lot of people think that Mac eye shadows are too pricey but for the quality and how long they last I do think they are defiantly worth it! I'm defiantly going to build up a 15 piece eye shadow palette but some saving is going to have to happen first. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've added to my palette. Leave a comment or tweet me @RaveenaKaur_  telling me what your favourite mac eye shadows are.

16th Birthday

My last few posts have all been beauty related so I thought I would do more of a lifestyle post and share with you what I did for my birthday. My birthday was on the 12th of December which was agesss ago now! I turned 16 which I actually wasn't looking forward to because I really don't want to grow up aha. During the summer as my main present I went to New York with my mum, sister (who was turning 21 this year so it was her present also) aunty and cousin, and it was amazing! We did A LOT of shopping and the UK NEEDS to get a Sephora.

On my actual birthday I had a chilled night with family. On the Friday I went to Nandos with friends and the Saturday I went shopping with friends. 

While in Bristol with my family we went for a birthday lunch on the Sunday.We had a little room excluded from the rest of the restaurant, the atmosphere was so chilled and I loved it a lot! So if you live in/near Bristol I recommend this restaurant a lot!

Hope you enjoyed a bit of a different blog post but if you didn't I am going back to the beauty posts soon. 

Please tweet me @RaveenaKaur_ for any future blogpost requests you have.

I heart drugstore/high street tag

I am probably soooo late with this tag but it's better late the never aha. This post is going to be about all of the drugstore/highstreet make up that I am loving or have not been loving (the tittle pretty much explains itself)
Here we gooo:

1. What is your favourite drugstore make up brand?
Mmmm properly Rimmel as I do have quiet a lot of there products, however one thing I wouldn't purchase again is the eye shadow trios as there pigmentation is awful. I've also been loving Mayberline at the minute too, and L'Oreal there is soo many!


2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?
Face: Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer, I love using this on days when I don't need to apply foundation as I'm just going out quickly or if I feel like I'm having a good skin day. It covers under eye circles so good.
Cheek: Topshop cream blush in head over heels, I actually prefer Topshop cream blushes more than mac
Lip: Barry M lipgloss in number 11 which is a coral colour. 


3. Least favourite product?
The Rimmel London Scandaleyes Thick & Thin Eyeliner I think I had it for around a week maybe a bit more and it dried out soo quickly. It was a lot thinner than I thought it was going to be but pretty easy to apply. I would not re purchase this because of how fast it dried out.


4. What is the best make up bargain?
The Mayberline colour tattoos and the Topshop highlighter in crescent moon. Both of these products are amazing for the prices they are.
Mayberline colour tattoos are £5 however boots always have offers on. The pigmentation is amazing they also keep my eye shadow on for a very long time without creasing!
The Topshop highlighter in crescent moon is my favourite highlighter that I've ever used. It's so pigmented and I use the smallest bit so it's going to take me so long to use as its massive. 


5. What is your favourite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)
The famous bronzer. I think it was previously sold in Superdrug but is now on the famous make up website. I love this bronzer soo much, I wore it everyday during the summer as it adds a natural bronzed glow to your face. I would only use this during the summer as it has a simmer to it. I love it soo much and have not not seen it on blogs or YouTube videos. 


6. A Drugstore product that is overpriced?
L'Oreal primer for the amount that you get there is not a lot for £9.99. Its meant to be a dupe for the mac strobe cream but I think its cheaper to buy that for the amount you get.


7. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
Collection lasting perfection concealer this is soo hyped on YouTube and Blogs! I had to purchase it to see just what all the hype was about, however it did not meet the exceptions at all. I have dry skin so when applying this to any blemishes that are quiet bad it does cover it up but clings to any dry skin. I had a pretty large spot a while ago, when applying this concealed it didn't cover up the blemish at all! It stuck to the spot making it look even worse I think. I don't think I will be re purchasing this. When something is soo hyped there is so much expectation but it really didn't meet the expectations I had.
