My Favourite Drug Store Makeup Products

When it comes to buying makeup products, I don't really have a preference to where I buy them from. It's a mixture of both store bought products and products bought online. So for today's post, I am going to share with you my favourite store bought or drug store products.

I'm going to go in order of how I apply my products so to start off with I am going to talk about primers.

The two I want to talk about are the Elf Cosmetics Mineral Face Primer and and BYS Cosmetics Primer Spray. I love these two products for different reasons. The Primer spray is so easy and convenient to use, you simply just spray and wait for it to dry. The Elf one comes in a pump bottle, so I just pump a small amount out and apply. It fills in my pores to give me a flawless complexion.

For Foundation I have two favourites that I use on a regular basis. The first one is the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I love this because it is very long lasting as well as giving my skin a flawless look. The other foundation that I love is by Maybelline and it's the matte and poreless foundation. This has been a favourite of mine for a while because I love the matte finish.

I love a nice powder and my holy grail face powder is by Australis. This is pretty much the only drug store powder I use and always pick an extra one when I see them on sale. It's the perfect powder for a matte and flawless finish.

For mascara I can be quite fussy. One I have been using recently that I've been loving is by Maybelline and it's called Lash Angel. At first I was a bit worried about the brush, because in my eyes it was a strange shape but I actually really like it. It cover each lash really well and it's buildable without looking too chunky on the eyes. My other favourite mascara is by Essence and I always repurchase this and it'sThe false Lashies Mascara. This is a staple in my makeup collection and for the price I think it's great. 

That was some of my all time favourite "drug store" makeup products. Hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you are loving!

My Winter Night Time Routine 2017

In today's post, I thought I would share with you my current night time routine for winter. I must admit, I can be quite slack in the skincare  routine department, but I try to set aside a time each night to take care of my skin.

So without further ado, here is my current night time skincare routine!

I like to light a candle. Sometimes it's a scented one, sometimes it's not. It just depends on how I am

feeling! I just like the ambiance a candle creates, and in these cooler months it just adds a little bit of warmth to any room!

Another thing I like to do is put on are string lights. I really do have an unhealthy obsession with string lights, I have a lot! I think they look so pretty and just give your room a great feel.

To take off my makeup, I have been using a micellar water from Essano Beauty and have been loving it. It works just as well as the Garnier Micellar water, and is around the same price. I just use a cotton pad and dab some on it and wipe away!

I actually use this even if I don't have any makeup on. I find it just wipes away any impurities that may have built up during the day.

To cleanse my face, I like to use a charcoal infused facial scrub from Sukin. I find this works well if you have oily skin. It leaves your skin so soft and free of any oils. Even if you have more dryer skin this would be great too.

Onto moisturising, I'm not big on a cream product, I prefer to use an oil. At the moment I am using something I picked up in Kmart which was only three dollars! It's a rosehip oil and I find it works so good with my skin. It leaves my pores smaller and my skin so glowy and smooth! For the small amount that it is, it's definitely worth adding to your collection.

Once I have done all this, I like to get into my pyjamas and have some me time. I usually do this by getting in my cosy bed with my iPad, catch up on some of my favourite bloggers and youtube channels. I also like to read, which I usually will find a good book through one of the apps on my iPad.

Before I go to sleep, I spray my bed with the Quiet Night body mist from The body Shop. This product is designed to help you have a better nights sleep. Even though it says body spray, it works just as well by spraying on your bad. It smells amazing and really does work!

One last thing, it's so important to have a good nights sleep. I know this is sometimes easier said than done, but it really does help your skin rejuvenate itself.
