Makeup Obsession Highlighter - 'Moon'
Need an amazing affordable highlighter? Look no further! After seeing a few British YouTubers rave about this, I just had to get it and try it out for myself. This shimmery white highlight is so pigmented and it's only £3! I find that it's long-lasting too, which is a bonus for such a cheap highlight.

Freedom Brow Promade - 'Soft Brown'
This has also been known as a dupe of Anastasia Beverly Hills brow promade. This is a very creamy product and a little goes a long way, you don't need much product on your brush to fill in your brows. It's soft and easy to blend and work with. The product lasts all day and keeps the brow hairs in place. I've never found this product to smudge or move at all. For just £5, I think it should be worth more.

NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick - 'Bedtime Flirt'
I had been bursting to try out the Lingerie lipsticks for absolutely ages! This shade is a nude pink/mauve colour. I would suggest that you exfoliate your lips before applying this as you can get that horrible 'dry, cracked lips look'. It glides on smoothly but it's quite tacky whilst waiting for it to dry. I have found it to be long-lasting and stay on whilst eating and drinking although it goes quite patchy after around 4-5 hours. It doesn't dry my lips out at all like some people say it does - the only reason I have in mind is because I don't wear it every day. This is the perfect matte nude every day lip colour.

Ardell Demi Wispies
I'm sure everyone has heard of these famous lashes. I had seen so many people rave about these, I finally tried them out for the first time last month. I love every thing about them - they're not too long, they look natural but also give that 'glam' look, very lightweight, full, soft and feathery. They blend beautifully with your own natural lashes. The glue is great, although it's in a tube so it can get quite messy. These lashes last all day and night - they are quite tricky to get off. But these are by far my favourite lashes of all time!

My Current Top 3 Makeup Favourites

Urban Decay Original Primer Potion-
Although this is a sample which I got when I ordered a lipstick, this has lasted me AGES! A little goes a long way with this primer. It keeps my eye makeup in place all day without creasing or getting oily. It's so good that if I accidentally get some mascara on my eyelid, it's bloody hard work to clean it up. I usually wait for the mascara to dry and then go in with a cotton bud. It normally flakes off easily but since using this primer, it's a nightmare. Try to avoid any mascara mess! I'm super happy with this, I'll definitely purchase the full sized one once I've run out.

Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencil-
This is very new to my makeup bag and I've become very fond of it. It's very pigmented and the colour and shape lasts all day. It's a waxy formula and the perfect colour. I'm normally used to just a pencil but the wax formula actually shape the hairs into place and I find it a lot easier and quicker. It's also great for the natural brow look. The only down side to this is that the pencil becomes blunt very quickly so it's hard to create those neat lines but it's not a problem, just sharpen it. I can see me going through this fairly quickly but for £2.99, you can't go wrong.

Maybelline Lash Sensational-
I have been using this mascara for a while and it's still one of my favourite makeup items. I don't think anything will replace my forever loved lash sensational for a long time. I love the weightless feel of the mascara on my lashes. It definitely gives my lashes volume and a nice curve. The bristles also space out the lashes evenly which I love!
