Makeup organisation and storage is an important part of having makeup, for me anyway. I like to be able to see everything clearly yet it still look good. Although i'm not perfectly happy with how the rest of my makeup is stored, i am happy with the organisation of my lipsticks, my favourite makeup items. 

I bought this red, coca cola vintage tin maybe 2 or 3 years ago from Amazon and i love it. I think it adds something different and interesting to the standard, boring organisation and being red, goes along with the colour scheme of my room. Whats more, it cost less than a tenner! I cant remember the exact price but i think it was in the £5-£8 bracket, a bargain i think. 

There are all sorts of designs and styles on Amazon and Ebay for really good prices, perfect if you're looking for new ways to organise your beloved collection.

Along with my outfit, navy striped top and light denim ripped skinny jeans, i felt i looked very Parisian today, a look and style which I personally love! I brought out the liquid eyeliner, something i rarely do due to my awkward eyes, and paired it with a simple and eye brightening eyeshadow look, along with bronzed-glowy skin and a pinky red matte lip.

As much as i wish i could, i cant go out with zero makeup on; my brows just need some attention! and besides, doing my makeup is something i really enjoy. However there are days when i can't be bothered to slap on a load of makeup, especially in the summer. Recently, my skin has been behaving quite well and with inspiration from Lisa Eldridge, i've stripped back my makeup and i love the results!




 Much to my surprise i've been loving the look of my skin with no foundation, opting first for primer (Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer) to slightly even my skin tone and help everything last and then concealer (Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer- Fair 1) on any blemishes, redness and under my eyes. I also like to add another concealer (Rimmel Wake Me Up Anti- Fatigue Effect + Radiant Glow Concealer) under my eyes to add extra coverage to my awfully blue under eyes and brighten things up there, especially due to skipping foundation. I recently bought the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge and i've been liking blending in my concealer with this. Got to powder to set this in place (Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder - 001 Transparent) and that is base done in under two minutes!

Another year has passed and ASOS is still my favourite shop, online or on the highstreet. Period. It literally has everything. Although i've recently placed two quite large orders on the site, my saved items page still has a whopping 63 items on it, whoops! My two previous ASOS Wishlists #1 #2, were in autumn winter and as its almost June this wishlist has much more of a summery vibe. Maybe this will give you inspiration for your next purchases, all in time for summer holidays! All the photos have links to the item in case you too want to buy!


  
                 

I'm back with another haul of recently bought items, featuring high street, high end and skincare bits!



L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara
I rarely repurchase mascaras as i like to try out lots of different ones, and i still don't think i've found the 'one' for me. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of this mascara, some people claiming its one of their faves and other people hating it but i thought id give it a whirl and see which category i fall in. 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer- Fair 1
Just another repurchase of this trusty concealer, everyone knows the drill with this, such a good concealer so cheap!

Nars Highlighting Blush Powder- Albatross
I'd been eyeing this up for a while, although to be honest when am i not eyeing anything from Nars up, and i'm having a bit of a love affair with highlighters at the minute and when ASOS (my saviour) were having a 30% off beauty sale, it was the perfect opportunity. I'm so excited to use this however it almost looks too beautiful to use!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer
I've seen a lot of good reviews about this and its often hard to find decent highstreet/drugstore primers, so i'm looking forward to seeing how i fare.

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic & Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
I've gone through so many bottles of Liz Earle Cleanser and whenever i stop using it my skin goes crazy at me, so it was time to stock up. My skins been looking quite dull recently and as i love the Cleanser so much i thought i'd try the toner as it claims to refresh, soothe and brighten your skin, perfect!
