My Makeup Collection and Storage

Hello Lovelies!




How have y'all been? After what seems like forever I have decided to show you how I currently store my makeup. I love watching fellow bloggers and Youtubers makeup collections and storage ideas


It looks somewhat small you may ask considering you see me with several haul posts.To be honest I do buy loads of products and coz Im very generous like that I tend to giveaway products I dont need or use to family and friends

Anyways here is my somewhat *Normal* collection I decided not to use flash for this post.

I keep my drugstore lip products in this old jewellery box with my Sleek Pout polish and vaseline backup

On the side of my WHSmith makeup drawer box I store my everyday skincare products from various brands ie Lush, Clarins, Nivea, Clinique, Lancome etc

Bottom  and largest drawer I store my eyeshadows,I barely buy single eyeshadows Im more of a palette girl

Eyeshadows from Boots 17 Cosmetics, Rimmel, Sugarpill, Nars eyeshadow duos and Sleek palettes

Middle right drawer I store all my foundations and Primers I have foundations from Sephora,Nars, Lancome, MUFE, MAC and Iman as well as setting powders underneath

Middle left drawer all my cream and powder blushes from NARS, BARRY M, SMASHBOX, MILANI, BEVERLEY KNIGHT,SLEEK,TOO FACED AND BECCA. As alwaysI got rid of my Mac Blushers as they tend to give me a bit of rash on my cheeks

Top small drawer to the right I store my eyeliners, mascaras and brow pencils from Gosh, L'oreal, Collection 2000, Maybelline, Nars, Ysl and many more

Top small middle drawer I store my concealers, eye primers from Mac, Iman, Urban Decay, Mary Kay and Benefit High beam and other bits from various brands

Last top drawer I store my high end lipsticks and a few glosses mainly from Mac, Ysl, Nars and few others

On top of the makeup drawer box I store my fragrances,Lipliners and my everyday Makeup brushes 

Im currently happy with this storage idea, have had this WHSmith box for almost 2years now and I love it. Maybe with time willupgrade to something better who knows,hey! I hope you have all enjoyed this post 

How do you store your makeup????

Lush Haul!

Hi Lovelies!





How are we??? The  other day I popped into Lush Croydon to buy my Lush Tea Tree toner as I amost ran out my skin loves that stuff but me being the beauty addict I am I end up purchasing other things. I love strolling around and browsing in Lush stores although some of the scents can be a little unbearable

TEA TREE WATER  £7.50 for 250g which is the bigger bottle

Suffering from spots, blackheads or excess oil? Don’t fret! And most importantly, don’t use a toner laden with skin irritating alcohol. Blemish-prone skin if often more sensitive than we like to give it credit for. Treating breakouts with alcohol can actually further the problem! Our suggestion? Gently, but effectively, treat your skin with Tea Tree Water. The antiseptic tea tree oil clears out blemish causing bacteria, while grapefruit and juniper water balance oil production. Spritz your face with Tea Tree water throughout the day to refresh and keep oil under control. See? Things are looking better already. e helps banish imperfections.

BUBBLEGUM LIP SCRUB £5.25 25g

Had to buy a backup of this Bubblegum  lip scrub which is made from castor sugar to act as a gentle scrub and jojoba oil which is wonderfully moisturising but light enough not to leave you feeling greasy.

Keeps lips in tip top condition, for kissing, pouting, talking or anything else you wish to do with them. 

Provides a great base for lipstick, which looks much better on smooth prepared lips I already cant leave without it

This lip scrub is sure to leave your lips enticingly soft and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time!

OCEAN SALT FACIAL SCRUB £6.95 100g

This face scrub is mixed in fresh avocado and coconut to hydrate thirsty skin, while the antibacterial effects of lime and vodka is ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes. The minerals in sea salt soften as it scrubs away dirt and blockages

Suitable for all skin types: Ocean Salt is most beneficial for combination to oily skin.

This will give you a scrubby mix that is antiseptic, takes away dead skin and tightens the skin. But it is also intended  to  soften the skin and leave it moisturised and supple

Quantitative Ingredients

Fine Sea Salt, Fresh Grapefruit Infusion, Coarse Sea Salt, Stearic Acid, Fresh Organic Lime Extracted in Vodka, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate,Triethanolamine, Avocado Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Lime Oil, Lime Oil, Seaweed Absolute,Violet Leaf Absolute, Glycerine, Lanolin, Cetearyl Alcohol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Colour 42090, Methylparaben, Propylparaben

RUB RUB RUB SHOWER SCRUB £7.95 330g

Rub Rub Rub is a bit of a variation on the normal shower gel. For one, it’s so thick we put it into a tub for handy scooping in the shower. Secondly, it’s a bright blue, supremely softening, exfoliating sea salt shower scrub to revive your skin. Sea salt is extra cleansing, mineral-rich and softening for the hair and body; you can even use it as a shampoo. This rubby scrub is startlingly refreshing, with a dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossoms for a light, blossom-scented wash and smoother skin.

All that salt makes this perfect for washing hair and adding volume. It’s also great as a scrub for tired feet.

Rub Rub Rub is packed full of mineral-rich sea salt and organic lemon juice. 

• 2-in-1: Super scrubby shower gel and shampoo for refreshing, uplifting washes.
• Get your scrub on: Made with refreshing, mineral-rich sea salt for subtle scrubbing and smoother skin.
• Lather in luxury: Orange blossom absolute is intensely floral, and although expensive, it is one of the most popular essential oils used in perfumery.

RO’S ARGAN BODY CONDITIONER £15.50

LUSH product inventor Rowena made this decadent, rose-scented shower ‘lotion' – so it's Ro's Argan Body Conditioner which very conveniently sounds like Rose Argan Body Conditioner. She noticed how much she liked the sultry soft feeling conditioner gives her hair, so she thought how nice it would be if she could have the same feeling for the body too. With scoops of cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, almond oil and Argan oils, this is the most luxurious body softener that ever was 

• Absolute Bliss: Wash with Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie before conditioning with Ro's Argan Body Conditioner for the ultimate in shower luxury.
• Moroccan treasure: Argan oil is incredibly softening on the skin and has been used in Morocco for hundreds of years.
• Smooth moves: Use this at night before you put on your pajamas and sink into slumber with soft, rose-scented skin.
• Thank goodness for the Lovely Lush assistant who gave me half a jar of this amazing body conditioner.The scent is light,rosey and feminine without being too perfum-ish or heavy. I looooooooooooveeeee how well it moisturizes and how my skin feels certainly the best body lotion/moisturiser i have tried so far cant wait to repurchase. It will leave you feeling wonderful,Trust me you dont know what you are missing lol!

Mini Apothica Haul: Becca Cosmetics

Hello Lovelies!





How have you been? Today I bring you a haul courtesy of Apothica who are sponsors of my blog.They were kind enough to let me choose products I would love to try. I am thrilled at the amount of  makeup products and brands available to purchase on their website. There is also a huge variety of skincare products on Skincarerx and Skinbotanica. If you havent shopped from these sites I suggest you start now and thank me later


Only thing Im disappointed in is that some brands I wanted to try cannot be shipped outside the United States *shrugs* but hey ho never mind you can still grab something awesome from the site or arrange a relative or friend to get your package for you and foward to wherever you live outside America.  




Enough talking let me get onto the fun part!!! I decided to try some Becca products since its hard to come by in the UK and I have heard nice reviews on their products

Becca Creme blush, Becca Mattifying Primer, SpaRituals Mini Nail Lacquer in Delight

Also got 3 samples to try Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Night moisturiser and 

Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Eye cream and lastly  Cane+Austin Retexturizing treatment pads 10% Glycolic

SpaRitual Mini Nail Lacquer - Delight $5.00

Get nails that look absolutely delightful! SpaRitual Mini Nail Lacquer - Delight is not only gorgeous on nails, it is 100% Vegan and free of DBP, Formaldehyde, and Touene. Each shade in the SpaRitual collection was has its own unique meaning associated with the shade. Delight is a creamy seafoam green. I cant wait to do Nail post with this shade its pretty and unique

BECCA Cosmetics Creme Blush - Dahlia $30

This AWARD winning blush gives natural,long lasting colour to the cheeks. Its highly pigmented formulation and silky-smooth texture melds into the skin for an incredibly natural, "just blushed" look. Layer for added drama.

Dahlia is a rich burnt red/orange shade. 

BECCA Mattifying Primer $40

 A Mattifying Primer with Anti oxidant Vitamin E imparts a matte finish to oilier, shiny skin as it extends the wear of both liquid and cream makeup. It works to visibly improve the look and texture of the skin by smoothing fine lines and pores to create an even canvas for makeup. It also helps the skin retain moisture without a greasy feel.

Now I have normal/combination skin with an Oily T-Zone so I ordered this one specifically for my pores and t-zone,I will do a review soon on this primer

Obviously I have to pay for shipping costs but Many thanks to Apothica for give me an opportunity to try new products,Im really grateful.
