REVIEW | Sleek Matte Me Birthday Suit | MAC DUPE!

So we all know I have an ongoing love affair with Kylie and I think most of the world has, have you seen the latest pictures of her as a blondie? She reminds me of my all time favourite actress Brittany Murphy! Another reason to love her. Now everyone finally figured her lip combo was Soar lip liner and Brave lipstick but at £28 for two products it's not always the purse friendly option so meet my second dupe. When I say dupe I mean exact match for Soar but in a liquid lipstick sent from heaven.

REVIEW | £3 & £1.59 Makeup Brushes?

CNDirect | Face Brushes | Eye Brushes

I recently found myself on CN Direct, the home of everything made in China, ever. Lurking the Makeup section I found some brushes that looked really nice but for the price how good could they really be?   The 4 Face brushes cost £3.34, These are available in 6 colourways and each face set contains a Tapered, Round, Flat and Angled top brush. Each eye set is £1.59 and contains 5 brushes, again in 6 colourways including a Flat Angled, Round Angled, Flat, Flat Rounded and a Tapered brush. These are honestly some of the softest brushes I've ever felt, I've spent a fair amount of time just rubbing them over my face.. in the most non weird way ever.

REVIEW | L'Oreal | Nude Magique Blur Cream

L'Oreal Nude Magique Blur Cream | £9.99

When I first saw this I didn't actually know what it was, sat in the foundation section of the L'oreal stand looking pretty I just thought 'oh, another BB cream' as it's packaged similarly to their BB and CC range, I've also seen multiple people moaning that this 'foundation/cream' is rubbish so I didn't pay it much attention. (This also leads me to believe people don't read product packaging!) I thought for the first few seconds it was a foundation like lots of other confused shoppers, well.. being in the foundation section, being available in two shades, light to medium and medium to dark all of this would lead you to think it's a foundation right? Wrong.  After hastily opening the sample and squeezing some out in the shop I instantly thought 'hallelujah!' a 'primer' that's the perfect consistency then I realised I had stumbled upon the holy grail of dupes. A dupe for the mighty Benefit Porefessional.

REVIEW | MUA | One Direction Lipstick | Rock Me

MUA | 1D Lipstick | Rock Me Louis | £2

I never thought I'd post the words 'One Direction' on my blog because I am definitely not a massive 1D fan however I am a fan of this lipstick. The shade instantly reminded me of MAC's Snob with its blue/lilac undertones and I thought it might be a good dupe but it's definitely got a lot more lilac to it than Snob.

REVIEW | Collection | Does It All 5 In One Mascara

 Does It All Mascara // Black // Superdrug // £3.99  (on offer usually £4.99)

After trying two Collection mascaras and being let down both times I was very unsure on this but I'd seen a few people say this is the perfect dupe for Benefit's they're real and at £3.99 I thought I'd have to try it!
It comes in two colours.. Black and well Black! Ones called Ultra black. Collection even does a waterproof version for people who can't live without it. This mascara claims that it's long wearing, it curls, volumises, lengthens and conditions your lashes, I definitely think it does all those things but maybe not condition. I've not noticed if my lashes are in bad or good condition so I'd have no idea how to tell, maybe this is why they're so annoyingly straight and short! I've been wanting a new mascara that curls and lengthens for me as I have these silly lashes that just stick out, curling doesn't always work either so anything that will help is always welcome in my make up bag.

Sleek Blush | Rose Gold

I seem to be creating a blog dedicated to blusher lately but it's all down to the fact that I've been using MAC Fleur Power for about 3 years and never using anything else I thought it's time for change.
I've always wanted to try the oh so popular Nars Orgasm (£21.50) so in true form I found a dupe. ( I also seem to be running a dupe's blog!) After lusting at the Nars counter I had a reasonable idea of what it looked like then I searched online for a dupe and the Sleek Rose Gold blush was massively mentioned but I also noticed that it's a dupe for MAC Style blush (£18) too!

Sleek Blush // Rose Gold // £4.49

REVIEW | L'Oreal | Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution

L'Oreal - Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution // £3.33 (On offer!)

I have always been a face wipes and hit the pillow kinda girl when it comes to removing my make up, over the years its been fine but as I'm getting older my skins getting a bit more sensitive to what I do and don't do to it, spots clearly aren't just for those teen years.

I saw this in Boots at Christmas time and I've used it most days since, I always think cotton pads, cleansing and toner is such a long winded process but it really doesn't take much time at all and the pay off for me is worth it. I've noticed a slight change in my skin since using it, I think using a face wipe really wasn't helping me get rid of any of the deep down dirt so after using a wipe I used this. Now I thought there can't be much left on my skin right? Wrong, the amount of grime that would come off even after using a wipe was shocking! Since using this my skin has felt a lot 'cleaner', I won't put it down to just this as I've changed my whole skin routine but it's made big difference.
Its hypo-allergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, it leaves my face feeling soothed and toned, it also gets rid of my waterproof mascara a treat, I end up pulling half my eyelashes out when cleaning my eyelashes with wipes!

I just pop it on some cotton pads and sweep over my face, I'll hold it over my lips or eyes if I've used product on them and it does really well at removing everything. It's also a firm favourite for spot cleaning my brushes and putting on cotton buds for mistake correcting (pesky winged eyeliner!!)

I'm very pleased with this product especially as it's being called a dupe for Bioderma's Sensibio H2O Solution Micellaire at a fraction of the cost.

Have you tried this, what did you think? And is it really a good dupe for Bioderma?

REVIEW | W7 In The Buff Palette - Urban Decay Naked 2 Dupe

(This is going to be a super quick post as I'm on my phone waiting to hop on a train back to sunny Eastbourne and I just couldn't wait to post as so many people asked me on Instagram where I got this palette, I hopefully will update it a bit more too!)

After looking at the Naked 2 palette I was also like everyone else lusting after one but I seriously can't justify the best part of £40 on eyeshadow when I don't always use a lot. I'm a winged eyeliner and clean eye kinda girl during the day but I stumbled upon this amazing dupe when roaming amazon and I couldn't resist ordering it.

This is the W7 In the buff palette
