My Everyday Beauty Essentials!

I'm going to be telling you about some of the beauty products I use everyday and couldn't live without. Let me know what yours are! Follow me on Twitter @Sarahhay1905 https://twitter.com/Sarahhay1905. I hope you enjoy this!

Makeup

Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer - Fair 1 - £4.19
This is a product I and alot of other people swear by. This has amazing pigmentation, it is high coverage and creamy. I use this concealer on blemishes, redness or any scaring.
Rimmel - Wake Me Up Concealer - 010 Ivory - £5.49
This is an amazing full coverage concealer which I love. I just use this under my eyes to conceal my dark circles as it covers, reawakens and illuminates your skin.
Rimmel - Stay Matte Pressed Powder - 001 Transparent - £3.99
This is the only product I COULDN'T live without! I love it so much as it matteifys any glowiness and minimizes your pores. It lasts all day on me (bearing in my skin isn't that oily) and It's so much better than most high end powders!
Sheer Cover - Extra Length Mascara - Black/Brown - £19.95
This mascara lengthens and separates my lashes without clumping them together. If you want to find out more on this I did a post on this a while ago.
Barry M - Lip Gloss - Coral 11 - £4.49
This has a subtle but glossy coral pink colour and its so moisturising. Its a super wearable colour and I just put this on with anything! Oh and it smells great!
Maybelline - Baby Lips - Cherry Me - £2.99
This is super moisturisng and the colour lasts all day. This one is my favorite colour of them all and its amazing!
Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm - Dark Chocolate & Mint - £1.99?
I use this when my lips feel dry and I don't want colour. It has a strange but moistursing consistency as you put it on but it is so moisturising. It also has SPF 15.
MAC - Cremesheen Lipstick - Creme Cup - £15.50
MAC lipsticks are one of my favorites and the colour lasts ALL day! Creme Cup is one of my favorite colours as it is a pink nude making it a super wearable colour. I also did a review on this if you want to know more.


Hair

Batiste - Dry Shampoo - Fruity & Cheeky Cherry - £2.99
This absorbs any excess oil on your hair making it look A LOT cleaner. It also gives a bit of extra volume and I honestly couldn't live without it!
V05 - Ultimate Hold Weather Resistant Hair Spray  - 
This just holds any style in place all day and its weather resistant. I don't know what else to say...

Skin Care

Simple - Oil Balancing Exfoliating Wash - £4.29
This clears up any excess oil and leaves my skin feeling very fresh and awake.
Super Drug - Tea Tree Toner - £3.29 
This is my skincare secret. I only get the occasional blemish and this makes it go away and reduce the amount of blemishes.
Simple - Light Hydrating Moisturiser - £3.99
This is so hydrating while being super light and its perfect for normal skin. I switch between this and...
Simple - Oil Balancing Moisturiser - £4.25
This feels the same as the previous moisturiser and has the same consistency but this clears up any oils and is better for oily/combination skin.

REVIEW: MAC Cremesheen Lipstick - Creme Cup!

Sorry I've not posted any blog posts in a while, I've just been very busy recently. I did have a schedule for bog posts, but it was too much for me so I won't be doing as many. I also deleted some of my blog posts because I felt they were irrelevant and I wasn't satisfied with them. If I deleted one of your favorite blogs, let me know and I'll re-write it.
I was shopping 2 days ago, and I bought a couple of things, I went into Harvey Nichols and decided to buy a MAC Lipstick. I picked up Creme Cup which I will be reviewing today. Let me know what your favorite MAC Lipstick is, enjoy!

MAC, Cremesheen Lipstick, Creme Cup, £15.50
The colour of this is a pale, pinkey nude that goes so nicely with my skin tone. The reason I decided on this colour is because it is so wearable and it would go with anything. The formula of this lipstick is a cremesheen which is very creamy and glossy, they are hydrating and last a long time. I love everything about this lipstick; from the consistency to the colour, it's perfect and I can't wait to get more and review them for you!

Lush: The Christmas Penguin and Christmas Hedgehog Review!

I'm doing another Lush review today on 2 of Lush's Christmas products. I hope you enjoy these reviews and find them useful. Sorry I don't know the prices because they have taken all of the Christmas things off the website so I don't know them. If you know the prices (pounds or dollars...) let me know. If you are interested in these go to www.lush.com.

The Christmas Penguin, Bubble Bar
This is a bubble bar, so you have to crumble it under running water and it makes lot of bubbles. I think this has quite a fresh scent, which smells amazing. Unfortunately I can't get this up on the website so I can't tell you whats in it. Underneath all of the bubbles, the water turns a beautiful blue colour. One of my favorite Lush products is Candy Mountain and this reminds me of it as it has the same feeling on your skin. This is one of my favorite Lush Christmas products so I would definitely recommend it.

Christmas Hedgehog, Bubble Bar
This is also a bubble bar, so you have to break it into running water to create bubbles. I can't really describe scents (If you haven't already noticed I am the worst for describing scents) but I think its kind of fresh... Underneath the bubbles it is quite plain water but the bubbles are fine themselves. This leaves your skin feeling amazing so I would definitely recommend this and it also looks super cute before you break it!

December Favorites 2014!

Its time to tell you what I've been loving through out December. This month I have noticed I have a bit more than I usually would so I hope you enjoy this! I think January favorites will be even more than this though. I hope you have a happy new year.

Makeup/Beauty...

  • MUA, Lipstick, Shade 11, £1.00 - This is the perfect nude for my skin tone and it will suit most other skin tones too. It's really pigmented, has great colour and it's only £1!
  • Vaseline, Petroleum Jelly, Original, £2.18 - If I'm totally honest, I've never really liked Vaseline but recently I bought one and I've been using it 24/7! It is really good for dry lips and a winter essential!
  • Max Factor, Lipstick, Midnight Plum, £6.99 - This is the perfect purple and this would suit pretty much every skin tone, if your skin is extremely pale it make you look washed out though. I love this colour so much and the colour is beautiful!
  • Pierre Balmain, Makeup Brush - Unfortunately I don't know the name of the brush or how much is was but the brush is incredibly good quality and the way it apply's makeup (especially powder) is amazing!
  • Evie Mai, Make Me... Glam Palette - I'm not sure how much this is as I got it about 2 years ago. It has 6 cream eye shadows, 2 lip colours and 3 cream blushers (can also be used on lips). The eye shadows are my favorite, especially the nude/gold one.
  • Max Factor, Lip Gloss, Velvet Raspberry, 6.65 - This is a beautiful lip gloss, with a sheer pale pink colour and it's super moisturising. 
  • Avon, Glazewear Shine Lip Gloss, Pink Watermelon - This is a lovely moisturisng pink lip gloss. Its nice for summer, even though its winter... I still love it!
Random Favorites...
  • Recently I've been loving watching Project Runway, the series that I watched was Season 4, Australia. 
  • Earlier this month I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2014 was on and who doesn't love it?!
  • I really love Malteaser Chocolate Reindeer, 65p and I also love Mousse Snowman Chocolate, 70p. Sadly, they are both limited to this time of the year, but in March and April they have malteaser bunnies!
  • I like the website www.lovemebeauty.com, it's hard to explain what it is but just go check it out!
  • I love vlogmas and this year I've been watching 4 of my favorite you tubers. I have to say my favorite was Tanya Burr, go and check her you tube channel out at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrIIH7yHQugaUuoTZDoEUuQ. Who doesn't love Tanya?!
