September 2015 Favorites

Hello

and welcome back to my blog, Today is monthly favorites, and it is going to be everthing that I have been loving this month.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer, when I did my Reperches or relase post I hadnt tried this primer but I have started using it and I love it. I use it with my Wake Me Up Foundation and it works great. It's so soft and silky and makes my skin feel amazing














Wake Me Up Foundation, what a surprise that this is in another favorites because I love this foundation and I can not give it enough praise. It makes my skin glow and hies my dark under eye circles and my acne scaring and smells amazing. They have just brought out a newer formula that has a Vitamin  in it and that's just as good



One product that is a surprise that I have been loving this month is the Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous concealer. While I liked the foundation it isn't one that I would rush out and try, and I love the Wake Me Up foundation but not the concealer this concealer is just beautiful, creamy and sets really well. I cant remember the price of it but at the moment it really is doing a fantastic job



Urban Decay Naked 3 is another product that I have been loving this month. It was a Christmas present from my dad, We had walked pass Sephora and I had never been in Sephora before and wanted to have a look around, My dad ended up buying three of my presents in there and the Naked 3 pallet was one and I have been loving it. The colour payoff has been amazing. I always worry abut wearing eye shadows because I have wierd shaped eyes but I love wearing Urban Decay




My lip combo this month is always changing but the lipsticks that I love is the Kate one's by Rimmel London, they are just amazing, I love the colours of them and love how easy they go on. While I have quite a few of the lipsticks and use them a lot my most favrite is number 113. Its just a nude colour that was out before the nude range (which I havent gotten yet but heard great things about). What  I tend to do is put 113 on as a base if I am wearing a darker shade of a lipstick so that its not quite as dark or vibrant, and it makes it look so natural







That's it for my favorites this month, not a lot I know but as I missed Auguast favorites I didnt want to miss Septembers.

Hope September was a brilliant month for you, and hope that October is just as amazing, see you next time

Make Up Story Tag

Hi

and welcome back to my blog, Its been a while since I have last posted I know, But I am back with a Tag post for you all, its my makeup story tag,

I hope you enjoy


1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
Fresh Face Lauren. 2002 Germany
I was around 12 or 13 when I started wearing makeup here and there and then when I was 14 was when I started wearing makeup every day, I think this is around the age that most people start wearing make up
2. How did you get into makeup?
When I first started wearing makeup everyday I got started because my best friend at the time got me in to it, we went out for a night out and ever since then I have worn makeup everyday 
3. What are some of your favorite brands?
Rimmel London and Maybeline New York are some of my favorite brands, they are the ones that I have found work really well for me and I have used for years and years.

I do like other brands there have been very few that have worked well for me
4. What does makeup mean to you? 
Makeup has given me confidence with my appearance. I never have liked the way I looked but when I wear makeup I feel as if I can be me. It has given me highs and lows but the highs sure do out weigh the lows
5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?
Foundation, Mascara, Setting Powder and Lipstick, each one gives me that little bit extra confidence and makes me feel complete
6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?
There are a few things, one is how it has changed and how I have changed using it, I went to just wearing foundation, mascara and lipgloss to adding liquid eyeliner, setting power and eye shaddows, using brushes and blending it in more and not having the foundation line. I also like how I can create different looks,
7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs. high end makeup? 
I don't own a lot of high end makeup, only the urban decay naked 3 pallet and a setting powder, I have nothing against high end products, I just haven't felt the need to spend money I dont have. I am a total drugstore makeup person, and I tend to only go for things that I know work or that are on sale
8. What is one tip of advice you can give a beginner?
Buy brushes, the are a life saver, there are so many different kinds of brushes that you get out there and they really do work.
You need to remember what is good for you may not be right for you.
Don'y go right for the high end makeup brands, try out different drugstore makeup first. Its a lot cheaper ad sometimes a lot better then high brand
9. What is one makeup trend you never understood?
I don't know if everyone one did it but when I was at high school years ago people would have super thin eyebrows and use white eye shadow with white eye liner on the water line

10. What do you think of the beauty community on YouTube?
I think the beauty community is great on YouTube.  I like watching a wide variety of people on YouTube and each of them brings something different to the table. There are some products that I see them review and will go out and buy and sometimes I like it and other times I do not, but that's the whole beauty of YouTube and different people



Hope you enjoyed my Makeup Story Tag, and feel free to answer the questions yourself
