My skincare routine

Hey guys, 

Doesn't everybody loves good skincare routine ? Well I have finally got mine how I like it were it actually works on me. 

So first off I get a cotton pad and my go to GARNIER Micellar water to remove my makeup. I use this every night and it does the job. 

 

Next if I'm feeling it which sometimes times I generally do do just not everyday, so if I do do it I take the CLEAN & CLEAR deep cleansing lotion which I also use on a cotton pad. 

 

After that I take my absolute life saver which I use twice a day and it really works it has literally saved my skin. I highly recommend the FREEDERM gel. When it says erase pimples it really does it. 

 

After that I take the SIMPLE kind to skin hydrating light moisturiser which I mean what more can I say? It just works, which I use twice a day.

 

Also in the morning before I put on my moisturiser I sometimes use the SIMPLE kind to eyes revitalising eye roll-on, which does acctually brighten your eyes.

My go to school makeup

Hey guys

So today's post is on the makeup I wear pretty much everyday for school. 

  

So first off I prime because you don't want to do pe and then it all come off. So I use the trusty benefit porefessional which has the nicest feeling on the skin as it has silicone in.

Then we have the trusty Rimmel match perfection foundation which is a medium coverage which is great for school. 

 

 

After that I take my trusty collection lasting perfection which I sometimes use on its own if I don't feel like wearing foundation 

 

 

After that I make sure it is all set with the RIMMEL translucent powder 

 

 

Then I take the ever so famous NARS laguna bronzer and give my face some dimension

 

 

Then I add some highlight which is my beloved Mac soft and gentle 

 

 

Then I believe no look is finished without mascara so I add my current favourite benefit roller lash ( don't know why but it wouldn't so it's at the bottom of this post)

 

 

Then brows because I mean my brows are not the fullest so I take the benefit ka-brow in shade 3.

 

 

I then set my brows with benefit ready set brow

My favorite sculpting pairs

Hey everybody, 

Today's post is not about lips ( bet your shocked ). It's about my favourite contour and bronzers to use together. I'm going to do this by showing my favourite contour pallettes and products then my favourite bronzers to go with them.

 

So to start my beloved KAT VON D shade and light pallettes which I think we can all agree has seen better days. But no matter which shade you wear it looks flawless it is also I good choice for all skin tones and if you self tan to use for when your tanned and as it fades 

  

Next we have the beautiful BENEFIT hoola which technically is a bronzer but I mean I use it as contour so you can use it for whatever you may like. It is a very cool brown which personally been
very fair is perfect for my skin tone.

  

Now finally we have the COLLECTION highlight and sculpt duo which damn is the contour pigmented like looking for a dupe for the Kat Von D shade and light pallette 1st two shades get this it is literally in the middle and the quality is amazing.

 

Now onto the toppers bronzers 

 

Now to start off with a famous bronzer the NARS laguna bronzer which may I add is beautiful the only thing is if your not the palest this probably won't show up but if you are pale it will be the perfect topper 

 

 

Then another pallette that has seen better days and that's this CLINIQUE bronze and blush duo. It is the perfect shimmery bronzer which I used to wear every day without fail. ( the link to this I could only find the bronzer not the duo pallette )

P.s. Colour correctors

Hey guys,

So I know I have done a lot of reviews recently but after this one I promise no more for a while. Anyway if you follow me on Twitter (@alwaysaimeeblog) you will know I tried out the primark colour correctors. And for £1.50 I can happily say they do work to an extent. 

Now as you can see in the swatches they are fairly pigmented and that does work on the skin. The yellow toned one that's for under eyes does brigten your eyes and for the price works fabulously. The green toned one is for redness but whereas the yellow one works this one doesn't work as well I have found you have to use a lot if you want it to make a difference.

Overall these are definitely worth the price and if your just trying out colour correctors these are definitely ones to try.

Too faced - chihuahua

Hey everybody, 

So I know this is yet another lip blog post be prepared for more! I started 2016 with no lip product apart from lip balms ended 2016, starting 2017 with loads and more to get. 

So in to the actual post my new holy grail lip product which in the images looks like a deep pink with hints of purple but don't let the beautiful packaging decide the colour as it is actually on lips not so much in the swatch the most beautiful nude with hints of purple, pink and brown. This is the first nude I actually like for myself.

  

See what I mean ? It's not the colour I described. 

 

( also yes this swatch is awful ) 

 

Now this applies like a dream on this beautiful spongy aplicator which I was unsure about at first but oh gosh I love I think it's one of the best times of applicators going

 

Now finally who Else loves this beautiful packaging ? .... Yeah me too 

Now I only have one critique about this product it claims to be a ' liquified long wear lipstick' now lipstick it is and liquid it is but long wear is not exactly true well for me it's not. It lasts for roughly 1-2 hours on me. I love this and it is my daily go to lip but not if I want something to be on all day.

Smash box always sharp waterproof eyeliner

Hey guys, 

So a few days ago i started using this eyeliner which I got in a set for Christmas, 

 

Which may I add is a really nice set but that's for another post, so I started using this about a week ago maybe a little longer and I was curious because it claims to be always sharp which it was so I nd looked at reviews which Wernt the best, saying that the tip fell off meaning you couldn't use it. Then I started to have my doubts and used it more carefully and then bam mine snapped off. Now I tried to fix it but it was hard and then I put it back in the lid to go out came back and it was trapped in the lid.

 

 

 

Here you see where the tip is. 

This eyeliner is a eyeliner to get if you have the gentelist of hands or you want a new high end eyeliner to try out and only use as a one off. But for everyday use or if you just want a general good eyeliner I wouldn recommend this.

Overall I think this eyeliner is a very good idea I just don't think the formula and packaging to make it work is there yet.

Nyx intense butter gloss review

Hey guys, 

I DID IT, well I mean I started to do it. If you read my last post you will see I did my New Years resolutions which this year was to post more, which can I say this is a start so far so good. 

Anyway on to the actual post who doesnt love nyx? Let's be honest they have some of my favorite lip products from the glosses to mattes. But the other day I got gifted this 3 set of intense butter glosses, now honestly I love these so much the pigment is fabulous. And I will add they smell amazing.

 

These lipglosses go on glossy and smooth and leave a really nice finish which I would highly recommend but if you are someone who likes your lipgloss to stay smooth and not go sticky these may not be the best for you as after a while some of the gloss comes off as any normal one but leaves sticky patches.

 

 

 

The swatches go left to right  

 

The lipgloss in the shade sorbet is a peachy pink 

 

This one is in the shade tres leches which is a brown/pinky nude 

 

In the images the last 2 look very simular but in person there is a difference now this shade is chocolate crepe a deep brown/red
