BOLD LIP LOOK

BRIGHT MAKE-UP

Good afternoon Little Ones! Today is a new day, and I've decided to talk you through one of my favourite make-up looks, I have no idea how this is going to work, seeing as you can't hear or see me; but let's give it a go. For my fellow readers out there, you are in for a treat! Besides, this has been highly requested for some time.
Without any further or do, let's roll on my first make-up tutorial, reading edition!




Firstly, as always I turned my face into the perfect canvas, by removing all dead-skin with my ever so trusted Clearasil exfoliation pads ... Who wants to apply foundation to the Sahara desert? Not the look I'm going for, to ensure that moisture was pumped back into my system I used my beloved moisturiser-Origins Make A Difference Plus Ultra-Rich Cream. Wow, that's sounds like a mouthful.
Now you know I've actually put effort into my skincare routine to ensure my make-up looks flawless, let's dive into the make-up side of things. 

FACE-BASE PRODUCTS:

YSL TOP SECRETS MOISTURE GLOW PRIMER:


Little Ones, I can't emphasis this enough, believe me I used to think primer was a useless step and a waste of money, but this makes all the difference to adding hydration to the skin, and ensuring my make-up stays put all day. 
This glides onto my skin effortlessly, as well as hydrating my skin, diminishing all the dry patches. On a daily basis I apply this product after my moisturiser, and focus on my dry patches, being: forehead, nose and cheeks. 

MAYBELLINE DREAM SATIN LIQUID FOUNDATION (SHADE 02 FAIR BEIGE)


Normally I tend to stay away from drug-store foundations as they can never nail my shade, it's always far too dark, or orange, neither of which I'm content with; last time I checked I wasn't auditioning for an Oompa Loompa role for Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. But, Maybelline managed to near enough create an almost perfect shade! It's slightly too dark, but with concealer it tones it down, the average person wouldn't even notice. The coverage and finish is beautiful! I tend to apply this foundation with a beauty blender, I use as much as I see fit and blend it out until I'm happy with the way it looks.

MAYBELLINE FIT ME CONCEALER (SHADE 05):


Next up is my precious concealer by Maybelline, I've been testing a few drug-store concealers and this one is beyond my favourite. The coverage and finish is phenomenal, it blends like a dream, and matches with every foundation in my collection; high-end and drug-store. 
I apply this under my eyes, forehead and chin, anywhere I want to add dimension to my face, I place it there and blend it out with my trusty beauty blender. 

POWDER FACE PRODUCTS:

CHANEL LOOSE POWDER:


Look what we have here ... My most used, (and favourite powder), if you have dry skin this has become your new best-friend. I use this to set my concealer and foundation, I bake underneath my eyes, as well as lightly tapping the remainder of the product over the rest of my face.
The Chanel loose power is a dream to work with, smooth in texture without feeling chalky on the skin, which is why it's perfect for dryer skin.

BENEFIT HOOLA BRONZER:



To be able to give the appearance that I'm not dying, I use my Benefit hoola bronzer, ever since I discovered make-up, this has been my go-to bronzer. I've tried others in the past, but nothing compares to this beauty. I lightly apply this to my: forehead, cheekbones, jaw and neck. When I'm happy with the application, I take a contour brush, and directly apply it to my cheekbones and jaw; just to make them more defined. 

NARS SARAH MOON BLUSH PALETTE:


Before I get judged ... I know it's a blush palette, but the golden shade is the perfect highlighter, it gives such a sensational subtle glow, I adore it. So we've all established that I use the golden shade for highlighter, but I also use the rose-gold shade for blush. Sometimes I use orgasm by Nars, but lately I've been obsessed with this product. In terms of application I use my blush brush for you guessed it ... Blush, and my highlighter brush for ... Highlighter!

EYE PRODUCTS:


I've finally started to use mascara on a regular basis, take me to the promised land! I've been trying to find a great mascara for years, after spending a stupid amount of money I gave up. Until social media forced me to believe that I needed sensational lashes ... So I branched out and tried this, It does such a fantastic job, gives me so much length, and even holds a subtle curl, (which I never knew I had). 
On the other hand, I also used the L'Oreal Super Slim Liner in black, this idiot forgot to take a picture, but I've always used this liner to create the perfect cat-eye.

LIP PRODUCTS:

GIGI HADID LIP LINER AND LIPSTICK (SHADE AUSTYN)



We all know I no stranger to a red lip ... I used to be extremely intimidated by the thought of wearing red lipstick, maybe because of the negative connotations, and being bullied at school, (didn't help). Since having a massive lipstick collection I love experimenting with both, high-end and drug-store lip products. I just no happened to stumble across the relatively new Gigi Hadid collection. I adore this shade, it's the perfect red in my opinion, if I can rock it anyone can! Although, be careful with the lip-liner, it crumples away at times, (really annoying), but be careful with application. 

Right now Little Ones, this is now the end of my blog post! If you are interested in any of the products above, I will leave a link below for you all! Saves you lot manual labour. 
If you liked this blog post, then please let me know! It was interesting, due to the fact I couldn't show you how I use these products, if you want to see more of this then let me know!
I hope you have a lovely day, and I will see you tomorrow! Remember to stay safe and stay tuned!

YSL MATTE LIPSTICK REVIEW

219 YSL MATTE LIPSTICK REVIEW

Instagram:amymrmcguire

Snapchat: amymrmcguire

Good evening Little Ones! How has your day been so far! I have my week planned out, and it's looking positive, I'm just hoping that I stay this organised throughout the year! As requested, many of you wanted a review of my current favourite lipstick, and that so happens to be ANOTHER YSL product, which isn't an issue for me; as I adore their products. If you want to read a detailed review on this wonder, then keep on reading.





THE PACKAGING: 

Yet again, YSL never fail to satisfy me when it comes to their beautifully packaged products, depending on the finish of the lipstick; determines the design. Their matte lipsticks are protected by a block of illuminating gold; with the classical YSL emblem, portraying that this is their creation. Again, that doesn't take my by surprise, this is their image: clean, elegant and captivating. Seeing this golden goddess in your make-up creation makes you feel proud, it stands out from the crowd. 
On the other hand, the lid comes off effortlessly, but ensures proper protection if you were to drop this lipstick. If I had to critique, I would suggest that they put the colour of the actual lipstick at the bottom,l this way it makes it easier to differentiate what the colour is, whereas you have to read the shade name to ensure that you have the right lipstick.
Other than that, this lipstick gets a 10/10 on presentation, little is more in this industry, in my opinion any way.

THE PRODUCT:

Now to the main event! Over the years I have equated an array of lipsticks, I know the features that make a fantastic lipstick, vice-versa. The elements that ensure you have the perfect lipstick entail: long staying power, high pigmentation, comfortable to wear, easy to apply and doesn't bleed. You'll be pleased to know that this YSL lipstick in the shade 219 ticks all the boxes. When I first applied this lipstick, it went on like a dream, it's exceedingly soft and creamy; which is strange for a matte lipstick. The diamond shape applicator made it really easily to apply, and managed to reach the awkward places of my mouth; being the inner corners. The pigmentation of this wonder is out-of-this-world! One swipe and you look like a sexy senorita!
As portrayed in the images above, this is what this lipstick looks like on the lip, it does have a slight blue undertone, which can enhance yellow teeth; but I didn't have this issue. Now for the real part of the test! How long did it take to bleed? And it didn't, not once! Which really shocked me, especially with a bright red lipstick, I had no lip-liner on, just this lipstick alone, and it didn't bleed into my foundation; which was amazing! 
This lipstick was super comfortable throughout the day, didn't crack or make me want to take it off my mouth. I know with some lipsticks they can dry out your lips, but not this one, which again, is fantastic for a pure matte lipstick. 
Last but not least, the longevity of this product is outstanding, I applied this to my lips at the beginning of the day, and didn't have to do a touch up until 3 in the afternoon. When it came to taking it off, it wouldn't budge. This lipstick even left a beautiful rose stain the next morning; which I used as a lipstick. That being said, if you don't want pink lips the next morning, just place another lipstick on top. 

PRICE:

Now onto the price, this lipstick retails for, £28 ... Which is I believe the most expensive lipstick I own? Might even top one of my Chanel prices. Yes it's an expensive lipstick, but the pure quality of the product really shines through. It ticks all the boxes in lipstick land! To find a product that does all those to a high standard is remarkable! Pick this up when you can, they offer phenomenal shades, and look great on all skin tones. 
Although, if this is out of your price range, I do have a dupe blog post and video coming out this January! So stay tuned for that Little Ones.

That's it for today's blog post, I hope you enjoyed the read, I loved writing it! I can't wait to show you what I'm posting on Friday! Something from different from a review, don't worry! 
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Stay safe and stay tuned Little Ones! :) x x x

YSL ALL HOURS FOUNDATION REVIEW

YSL ALL HOURS FOUNDATION

If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).
Good morning Little Ones! Here is another product review, I've already filmed a video on this product, if you want to watch that as well, then click here! If you don't fancy that, then you might as well stay here. I've received a tone of requests to write a review on this baby, so that's what I'm doing. Sit back, relax and get on to reading!






THE PACKAGING:

YSL nail it again ... This will always be mentioned, as I've still yet to come across something that doesn't appear marvellous. Why not start with the uni-carton? Iconic golden goddess, how can you not resist? It simmers, and almost gravitates you to hold the product ... I'm a packaging addict so this is a problem to me; anyone else feel the same?
Now onto the foundation packaging! This foundation is coated in an eloquent matte glass bottle, something I've never seen from YSL before, they usually come packaged in a shiny glass component, but that;s something I love about this brand; they always switch it up and keep you on your toes. On the other hand, they've kept it simple, adding the harsh noir line makes it the centre point; and it's smart that they've integrated the line and placed the name of the foundation; this clearly differentiates each foundation that YSL produce. 
In relation to the cap, I wish it was metal, instead it's plastic ... It doesn't match the matte glass, it's almost out of place. They've created such an opulent component, and finished it with a plastic lid; it doesn't ruin it completely; but they could've kept the metal lid aspect. But if that's the only flaw I can find; it's not the end of the world.

THE PRODUCT: 

Firstly, my shade is BR10, COOL PORCELAIN, this is the lightest shade they offer ... Yes I know I'm rather pale, (not a shock). With me, finding a shade that actually matches my skin is a nightmare! But this YSL All Hours Foundation is PERFECT! The match is incredible, this foundation does oxidise so be careful and make sure you get colour-matched. 
When you initially pump this foundation to the back of your hand, it pours out like liquid velvet ... Sounds odd, but if you purchase this product, you'll know exactly what I mean. The formula isn't so watery that it runs down your hand, but it's not so thick that it feels uncomfortable, it's literally the perfect consistency. Thus, when applying it blends out like a dream, I had no issue covering my entire face, and if I needed to layer, it wouldn't cake up or go patchy. 
Something that I should mention is that this is a matte finish, so it's not meant for dry skin, but seeing that I'd fallen in love at the counter, I purchased a hydrating primer which coincided with this foundation. I have very dry skin, to the point where it flakes, (beautiful right?), without this primer, this foundation does settle into my dry patches and enhances them ... Not the best look, BUT if I use the primer I don't have this issue. 
In relation to longevity, it lasts up to 9 hours, this is without me powdering! But if I was to add powder throughout the day, I could say that this would last 12 hours; it won't be the most flawless foundation day ever, but it's still on the skin. 
On the other hand, something else that I should mention, is that this product doesn't have a scent, which I love! Additionally, it doesn't make me break out, or irritate my skin ... I would know as I suffer with eczema. All in all, this foundation is wonderful, the finish is stunning and it lasts such a long time. Remember if you do suffer with dry skin, just remember to exfoliate and moisturise your face to the max! It does work, but you have to go the extra mile; it's worth it I promise! 

THE PRICE: 

When I purchased this bad boy, I was lucky enough to have 20% off the original price, as my local John Lewis was conducting a sale! But normally this would cost, £33.50, which is a pricey foundation, it's the most expensive one I own to date. But who am I to say something is too expensive? Would I repurchase this product at the full price? Yes I would, because it works for me, and it's worth my money, if you feel different to that, then that's your opinion. 
The features of this foundation make it worth the high price point, the formula is extremely long wearing, the finish is beautiful, and it even works with my exceedingly dry skin! 

If you are curious to purchase this product, I'll leave a link below for you! 


That is it for today's blog post, if you want me to review the primer that goes perfectly with this foundation then I will post that for tomorrows blog post! If not then please do tell me what you want to read next! I love you all so very much, stay safe and stay tuned Little Ones! :) x x x
