Drugstore Haul

Hello and welcome to my Realm of Beauty. 

Today's post is gonna be a popular one: drugstore haul. Who doesn't love affordable quality makeup? I know I do. I love watching beauty vloggers' drugstore hauls, making a list of everything that tickles my fancy and purchasing them gradually when I go to Boots and Superdrug.

I recommend keeping a list on your phone of all the makeup items that you want to add to your collection. That way, you can keep track of things you like and the next time you're at a drugstore and have extra money to spend, you can look at the list and pick things you always wanted. Also, Boots and Superdrug usually have promotions for most loved brands, like Maybelline and Rimmel. Most of my drugstore products were purchased in 3 for 2 promotions at Boots. I also love Boots's advantage card. Just a few months ago I was able to buy an Elie Saab perfume I always wanted with my advantage card, which would've otherwise set me back £54!

But enough into. Let's get to it.

All products can be purchased at your nearest drugstore or online at boots.com and superdrug.com

Maybelline eyeshadow palette: The Nudes 

An amazing substitute for high end nude palettes, and a genius move by the Maybelline exec. They must've seen the rise in popularity of Urben Decay's naked palettes and decided to launch their own version for those who don't have £38 to pay for an eyeshadow palette.
This palette only costs £7.99, which is amazing considering the quality of the shadows. It features all the nude shades one might need, from matte to shimmery, form highlighting to black.
What's more is that it comes with instructions at the back of it. So beginners can look at the back to see what shades can be mixed together and where on the eyes the specific shades need to go.

Maybelline Dream Pute BB Cream

This 8-in-1 BB cream is an essential for those who don't like full coverage or even foundation, but still want enough tint to even out their skin. And at £6.99, why not add it to your makeup bag?
It's designed for oily skin and therefore has 2% salicylic acid, which protects against blemishes. It's also SPF 15, oil free and hydrating, so it's the perfect balance of matte and moisturising. It comes only in 5 shades, so one might struggle to find a shade that's suited to their skin tone. But since it's a tinted moisturiser rather than a foundation, you'd be able to get away with it if it's not exactly suited to your colour.
I do find my face getting shiny quicker than if I used a matte foundation. So maybe it's better suited to less oily faces than mine. But it's nothing a touch of powder can't fix.

Maybelline EyeSudio Colour Tattoo 24h Eyeshadow

This is truly a holy grail product. If I had a pound for everytime a blogger mentioned this product in a dupe or haul video/post I'd be rich by now. The range of colours on offer is to-die-for. My fav is Metallic Pomegranate, which is the most gorgeous burgundy colour and perfect for autumn. The creamy texture is absolutely gorgeous and it's very easy to apply. You can literally use your finger to apply and blend it. What's more is that it's super long lasting. Maybe not for 24h, as it says in the title, but more long lasting than any eyeshadow I've tried before. This is an absolute must have, so the next time you're in a drugstore browse through the colours and get yourself a pot or two because they only cost £4.99. Which if you ask me, is a bargain for the quality of this product.
If you're like me and have oily eyelids, you might benefit from applying it with eye primer to prevent it from creasing. That being said, that should only be the case if you're planning on wearing it from day to night. Otherwise, it will last around 4 hours on oily eyelids without the need for primer, which is amazing.

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer 

Okay, this is getting a bit Maybelline-heavy, but what can I do, I love this brand. This is the last one though, I promise.
This concealer is amazing for covering imperfections, blemishes and spots. I personally haven't used it under my eyes yet, mostly because the shade that I have is too dark for that purpose. It's super easy to carry with you everywhere you go because you don't need a brush to apply it. Altogether a winner, and at £7.99, it's really worth adding to your on-the-go makeup bag.

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush

Yet another holy grail of drugstore makeup, loved by bloggers and makeup artists alike. Creamy blushers are one of those products that are hard to come by in the drugstore. And when you do find one, it's usually not a good quality compared to the high end ones (I'm looking at NARS). But this little pot is truly an exception. I just love the texture so much. And it blends so beautifully. I like to blend mine with Real Techniques Sponge, but fingers would do just fine.
It comes in 4 shades (I want more), all of which cater to different skin tones. It's totally worth the £6.99, and I'm not the only one who says so.

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Liner

Another gorgeous products from Max Factor. The colour range is amazing and practical. The texture is creamy and easy to apply. The only downside is that it's not long lasting enough. And I want my lipliner to last throughout the day so that I can just touch up my lipstick and nothing else. I personally prefer No7 lipliners to this. I've also heard that sharpening it is very puzzling, but I'm yet to sharpen mine and see how it goes.

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

I think this is the most loved Max Factor mascara out there. I love the lengthening and volumising effect of it, but I most of all love how it still looks quite natural and not too fake. So it's perfect for everyday mascara, especially since it stays on perfectly and doesn't smudge your lash line after a long day. There's also no sign of clumping or any other problems if you decide to apply it more than one coat, very buildable I would say. It's just a perfect mascara at the reasonable price of £10.99.

LOreal Paris Perfection Color Riche Lipstick 

By now if you've been following my blog you know that I love moisturising and hydrating lipsticks. This Loreal lipstick is exactly that thanks its Omega-3 and vitamin E, plus it's very creamy and pigmented. It just feels really soft and beautiful on the lips. It comes in a whopping 30 shades! And it's a perfect dupe for high end creamy lipsticks at half the price, which is £6.99.

Simple Micella Water

An absolute must have, gentle and effective and hydrating. Really, you just can't say no this, especially at the price of £4.49.

As mentioned before, all of the products in this post might be available in promotions at Boots and Superdrugs. So make sure you make the most of these promotions before they end.

So there you have it lovelies. Hope you've enjoyed this post. Make sure you share it with others and follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and Bloglovin. All the links are on your right hand side.

Liquid vs Gel Eyeliner

Hello and welcome to my Realm of Beauty. 

Today's post is going to be about eyeliners; one of the most loved and at the same time hated makeup items in everyone's makeup collection. We've all been intimidated by them at some point in our lives. We've also all been jealous of those beautiful and even winged eyeliners you see on Instagram. If you get passed that initial stage of fear by practising your technique and familiarising yourself with the shape of your eyes, you'll get to the point of exploring all the different options out there: liquid, pencil and gel eyeliners.

Soap and Glory Supercat liquid pen and Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner. Both available at http://www.boots.com.

I personally started with pencil liners. But I only used it in my waterline or sometimes under my bottom lashes. I never got to successfully apply the pencil above my eyes, so I moved on to liquid eyeliner. I remember my first purchase was mac's classic liquid eyeliner. I initially had to practise with it but I instantly picked up the method and wore it a lot. It still took me a while to apply it though, because as a perfectionist I had to make sure that everything was on point.

After that I came across eyeliner pens. The results were very similar to the classic eyeliner, but a little less intense. The pens were a lot easier to apply, so I tried them in different brands, some of which I was really not happy with. Since I have oily eyelids, most of the eyeliners I've tried would smudge or leave awkward marks on my crease. It really is frustrating when you've got the most perfect winged eyeliner, but 2 hours later you find that half of it has gone on your crease.

I wasn't really satisfied with any liquid pens until I came across Soap and Glory's Supercat Eyeliner. I, like many other beauty bloggers, absolutely love this product. It doesn't smudge, it's super easy to apply and it looks beautiful. If you're just getting into eyeliners and would like to experiment with cat eyes and wings, then I'd totally recommend this especially since it's only £6 and widely available.

The story doesn't stop there. One day I was watching one of Lisa Eldridge's videos (can't remember which one) and in this video she used the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner. I just loved the results and the fact that she recommended it was enough to send me to Boots to get myself one. Now, I have to be honest, I was always very intimidated by gel liners because I thought they were difficult to apply. But I thought I was confident enough with my skills to finally give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. Gel liner has become by far my favourite type of eyeliner. The intensity of the blackness is just amazing, and you can see the comparison with liquid in the pictures below. Also, if the product is high quality, such as the Maybelline gel liner, it will last all day without smudging.

Note: I didn't apply mascara in any of the pictures, because this way you can see the eyeliner more clearly.

Another advantage is that you can apply gels in your waterline, which you can't really do with liquids. Before I started using gels, I used to apply pencil in my waterline and liquid above my lashes. But now, I can just use the gel for both purposes.
You can see the comparison in the picture. I know it doesn't look like I've applied any product in waterline of the left eye, but trust me I have. It just doesn't show because that's the nature of liquid pens.

The down side is that drawing wings with gel liner is more challenging than with liquid, at least in my experience. You also need a fine liner brush, which is an added expense. The good news is if you buy the Maybelline gel liner, it will come with a brush of its own which has two sides: smudging side for smokey eyes; and fine liner brush for precise application. I personally use the Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush. It's much easier to use and it's of higher quality.

Final thought:
if I'm in a hurry, or not in the mood to spend 10 minutes applying eyeliner, then I'll reach for Soap and Glory's Supercat. But since I don't really use eyeliners for everyday makeup, this rarely happens. I also sometimes use it to outline the lines and go in with the gel.
I much prefer gel liners to liquid liner. And since I only tend to use eyeliner when I'm going out in the evening, I can afford to spend time applying it. Trust me, it's really worth it. Also, since there's such an amazing product like Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel Liner available for only £7.99 at any drugstore, you don't really have any excuses not to try it out. I personally don't think I'll ever seek a high end gel liner, that's how amazing this product is.

There you have it lovelies. I hope you enjoyed this comparison post. Make sure to follow me on social media for updates and tips. All my social media links can be found in the right hand column.

Why I think Clinique Lipsticks Are The Best

Hello lovelies and welcome to my Realm of Beauty. 

Today's post is all about lipsticks, Clinique lipsticks to be exact.
Lipsticks are the most important makeup item for me. I could leave the house with no makeup on and it wouldn't phase me. But if I didn't have lipstick on I'd somehow feel incomplete, like I would be missing an item of clothing.

I am quite picky when it comes to choosing shades and types. I'm not a fan of nude lips, because they don't really suit my skin tone. And, I don't like matte lipsticks because I prefer moisturised lips to dry lips. So already, I have eliminated the very popular and arguably most loved lipstick in the market: mac's matte lipsticks. You also tend to get more shades with matte lipsticks, so that's another thing I'm missing out on.

Clinique Lipsticks available at http://www.clinique.co.uk

For a long time I've been searching for the perfect moisturising lipstick. One that's not too greasy and not too shiny, but is still moisturising and long lasting and pigmented. I thought I had found my true match in Lancôme's Rouge in Love range, which ticked all the boxes for me. Until Clinique launched their Pop Lip Colour and Primer range. I was very intrigued by the description of this product, which goes like "Luxurious yet weightless formula merges bold, saturated colour with a smoothing primer. Glides on effortlessly to give a modern-velvet finish. Colour stays true and keeps lips comfortably moisturised for 8 hours". So I went to my nearest Clinique counter and the lady tried on 3 shades for me. I instantly fell in love with the intensity of the colours, and how moisturising they were without adding too much shine. This was the perfect match I was looking for. It really does what it says in the description. Thanks to the primer, it glides on perfectly and gives a gorgeous finish to your lips. The moisture doesn't really get absorbed either, so I barely feel the need to reapply it, unless it's after a meal. 

Don't get me wrong, I still love the Rouge in Love lipsticks and would purchase again as soon as I've ran out. But they are more expensive (£22) than Clinique lipsticks (£16), so I can't really use them everyday. 

By now I have almost made my case and have argued why Clinique lipsticks are the best. But there's one more product that I haven't mentioned: The Chubby Stick Intense Moisturising Lip Colour Balm. This is yet another wonderful product by Clinique and the reason why I love it is in the name. It's more shiny and much sheerer compared to the Pop Lip, but that can be an advantage when you want just enough colour and mostly moisture for a daytime look. I also love the shape of it, which makes it super easy to apply. It's £1 more expensive than the Pop Lip, but you get more out of it because it's taller. 

The shades that I have are limited, but as I said I'm quite picky when it comes to shades I like. I do aim to collect more though, so I'll keep you updated. The Berry Pop (15) shade is a gorgeous plum/berry colour, perfect for evenings and autumnal looks. While the Love Pop (13) shade is a gorgeous light violet, perfect for daytime and summery looks. This is the lightest shade I can pull off without looking like a ghost. 
My Chubby Stick shade is Roomiest Rose (06), which is a beautiful pink colour, perfect for everyday makeup.

So there you have it, my case for why Clinique make the best lipsticks. If you're like me and don't really like matte lipsticks, then they're the brand for you.

My Skin Care Routine | For Oily Skin

Hello and welcome to my Realm of Beauty. 

Today's post is gonna be about skin care. More specifically, how I look after my oily skin.

Those of us with oily skin are both blessed and damned at the same time. Blessed because our skin never looses its moisture and as a result, we are less prone to ageing and developing wrinkles than those with normal/dry skin. However, we are more prone to breakouts and acnes. In addition, searching for a matt foundation that keeps away the shine throughout the day is an impossible task.

Since 7 years ago, when I started caring for my skin, I have tried numerous skin care products. My current routine is the results of years of experimenting and finally coming to a combination of products that actually work together to look after my skin.

Before I introduce you to these products, one thing needs to be said. It is very important to be realistic and to not expect too much from your makeup and skin care. As I have mentioned in my previous post when talking about foundations for oily skin, it is unrealistic to look for a product that keeps the shine away for the entire day. If a products claims to do this, be it a foundation or a moisturiser or a cleanser, you should not trust it. Moreover, if a product actually delivers the "no shine all day" promise, you should stop using it because it is very bad for your skin. These products work by blocking your pores so that the oil is trapped underneath whatever you have on, which can cause all sorts of troubles for your skin.  So just be diligent out there, and know that keeping your face matt all day requires touching ups during the day. You can for example always carry a power with you to use mid-day over your foundation.

Now with the important "warning" out of the way, we can get started.

Storage is from Stackers available at amazon.co.uk

Morning routine: 

In the morning, right after I wake up, I use the Clear Skin Oil Balancing Exfoliating Face Wash by Simple. This product is a life saver for those of us with oily skin. It has no artificial perfume or colour and no harsh chemicals. It's just full of goodness and vital vitamins. The 'zinc' element helps absorb excess oil while the 'witch hazel' reduces blemishes and 'B5' helps to keep the skin smooth and soft. And at the price of £3.99 and wide availability, it's really worth adding to your routine. 

Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Exfoliating Face Wash available at Boots.com.

After I've dried my face with a clean face towel, I apply the Clinique Clarifying Lotion in No. 4 with a cotton pad all over my face. This is such an amazing cleanser and comes in 4 ranges. 1 is for dry skin and 4 is for oily/greasy skin, 2 and 3 are for those with normal/combination skin. I just love it when I can see the dirt and oil on the cotton pad after I've used this.
The No. 4 lotion contains alcohol which can be a skin irritant for some, so if you are one of those people it's best to go for a different number. I personally love it because it helps keep the oil to minimum for longer. It's also deeply penetrating and gets rid of all the dirt that's accumulated under your skin.
It is on the pricey side, but I'm not one to hesitate spending money when it comes to skin care. The 200ml bottle is £16.50 and the 400ml bottle is £26.50.

Clinique Clarifying Lotion in No. 4 available at  Boots.com.

The next step is moisturiser. I have wrestled with this for so long. It is very tricky to add extra moisture to a face that's already oily. But I can't forgo it either because the benefits of using moisturiser are well known, plus they really are important when it comes to applying foundation.
So, as you can understand I had a hard time finding a moisturiser that didn't make me even more oily. Until I came across this gem: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel. This is a holy grail of skin care for me. At this point, it is one of the very few products that I know I will not ever replace. The texture is gorgeous, it is not drying and it glides smoothly and perfectly on the skin. And once it's on, you don't even realise you have moisturiser on and yet you feel all the benefits that come with it. It controls the shine without giving you dry patches and is full of natural goodness. I just cannot recommend it enough.
Again, this is a pricey product (£30), but it's really worth it.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel available at Boots.com.

Now, I know at this point some of you are wondering why I don't use the 3-step skin care routine offered by Clinique, since I already have 2 of the products in this range. The reason is because I have spent a long time looking for a good face wash and now that I've found 2 of them, one which you have met and one that's coming up in my night routine, I am just scared to let them go and try the Clinique face wash. If I could get my hands on a sample it would be great. But until then, I'm gonna continue using my 2 beloved face washes.

Night routine:

Before I go to bed, I usually look like a disco ball because of the amount of oil on my skin. No matter what I do/use, I end up with a shiny face at the end of the day. So it is important to make sure I treat it before any breakouts occur. For this reason I use Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Exfoliating Face Scrub. This is an absolute gold and I have already been through 4 bottles of since I discovered it. It is so gentle on the skin thanks to the 'witch hazel' and yet tough on the dirt and oil that's trapped inside the pores. It unclogs your pores and leaves you feeling refreshed and clean. It also helps prevent breakouts and dries any existing spots thanks to its 'tea tree' element. 

And at the price of £3.79 you just cannot resist to add it to your routine. 

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Exfoliating Face Scrub available at Boots.com.

Next I use the same Clinique clarifying lotion to cleanse my skin before applying moisturiser. 

Night time is when I can stop worrying about looking shiny and apply a more conventional moisturiser to maintain moisture throughout the night. This is when I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Night Renewal Cream, which is a fantastic anti-ageing and firming cream with Shea Butter and vitamin E. I really take my time with this to massage it onto my skin. And when I wake up in the morning my skin is visibly firmer and well rested. 

It might be a bit unusual for a 26 year old to use an anti ageing and firming cream already. But since I lived 19 years of my life in Iran and barely used sun screen (I know, very bad!), I'm afraid that I've done some (reversible) damage to my skin. Which is why I thought it would be good idea to start using this cream to counter act those years of negligence.

So there you have it lovelies. I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.

Colourful Eye Makeup, Wearable and Easy

Hello lovelies and welcome to my Realm of Beauty.

Today's post is gonna be a makeup tutorial for an easy and wearable colourful look, perfect for summer days.
With autumn just around the corner, you can make the most of what's left of this summer by adding a little bit of colour to your everyday look and maybe use those colourful eyeshadows and eyeliners you have lying around.

The secret to a colourful daytime look is to lower the intensity of the colours you want to use, make it look balanced and effortless. If you have a coloured eyeliner that you don't often use, you can always smudge it and blend it with a neutral eyeshadow. Or you can use two eyeshadows of completely different colours to create a fun colour-block eyeshadow (the look for this tutorial). There are many ways you can play with colours, but the point is: don't be afraid to experiment.

Tip: you can choose the colours of your eyeshadow and eyeliner based on a pair of colourful earnings that you own. As you'll see in my pictures below, it will help bring the whole look together and it looks super fun.

 So let's begin. As per usual, the post will be divided into two sections: eyes and face.

 For eyes:

I've had the gorgeous Lancôme Ombre Hypnôse-Lagon Secret eyeshadow for a very long time. But there aren't many occasions that I can use it on, which is a shame because I love the colour of it. So I thought I'd create a colourful summery look with it, only I didn't have a colour that's the complete opposite of it. However, I remembered that I had a beautifully pigmented pink blusher by Lancôme (Blush Subtil-Rose Paradis) in my makeup collection, so I used it as my base eyeshadow for this look and also as a blusher. This added a beautiful harmony to the look and made it even prettier. So I advise you to use this method if you have a similar blusher in your makeup collection. 

Once the base is on, you can do either of these two things: use a bright eyeliner in a similar colour to my turquoise eyeshadow along and above your lash line; OR wet an 'accent brush' or eyeliner brush and dip it in your colourful eyeshadow and apply it as you would with the eyeliner. The second method is what I used to achieve the look. Real Techniques brushes are my holy grail, so every eye makeup that I do is with their Starter Kit.

Since this is a daytime look, you don't want to make the line winged, just leave it up to the outer corner of you eyes. You can also go in just under your waterline and lashes with the brush or the eyeliner to add a bit of colour under your eyes. 

To finish it off, I used a neutral eyeshadow in my crease to give the eyes more definition. But this is totally optional and up to your preferences. 

For face:

After hours of researching for a good foundation for oily skin, I finally made a decision to purchase Clarins Ever Matte Foundation. I've used it a few times since I purchased it and I absolutely love it (it also smells divine). If you're like me and have been "suffering" from oily skin, you know how hard it is to find a good foundation that can last for a good few hours. Why am I not saying all day? Well because it would be unrealistic to look for a foundation that keeps away the oil and shine all day. If a product does that you should not trust it because it is blocking your pores and trapping the oil and that can cause all sorts of troubles for your skin. An excellent foundation for oily skin should keep the shine away for about 4-5 hours. This is why those with oily skin and long working hours should always carry a powder and touch up during the day. 

My favourite method of applying foundation and concealer is with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. To me, this is an absolute necessity in my makeup bag. Of course you can pay extra and purchase the original Beauty Blender. But I personally haven't found the need to do that. If you're interested to know how to use the sponge, check out the tutorial by the amazing Sam Chapman, which I'll link at the end of this post. 

For lips I used one of my favourite lip liners, No7 Precision Lip Pencil-Rose plus one of my favourite lip colours Clinique's Chubby Stick-Roomiest Rose. The combination of these two is absolutely brilliant. 

To finish off use a translucent powder, I used Clinique's Blended Face Powder, which I have review here Review: Clinique's Blended Face Powder & Brush. This step is only for those with oily skin, so skip it if you have other skin types. 

There you have it beauties. Hope you enjoyed this post. My social network sites can be found on the right hand corner. Don't forget to follow for updates and beauty tips.

Flawless Foundation by Real Techniques | Miracle Complexion Sponge Tutorial

Review and Comparison: Tinted Lip Balms

Hello beauties and welcome to my Realm of Beauty. 

Today's post is gonna be about tinted lip balms. Some days I don't feel up to putting lipstick on, but I hate the natural colour of my lips because they always look really pale and make me look like a ghost. So tinted lip balms are my saviour on these days. Not to mention that they're incredibly hydrating and good for cold winter days.

So let's get started. The lip balms I'm gonna review are: the famous Maybelline Baby Lips - Cherry Me; the much loved but underrated Burt's Bees - Red Dahlia; and even more underrated Korres Madarin Lip Butter Stick - Rose.

Swatches

Moisturising aspect: 

This for me is the most important aspect of a lip balm. The best one out of the three is Burt's Bees. It's made of 100% natural ingredients including Shea butter, and it slides on the lips beautifully and with ease. The moisture stays on the lips longer than the other two products. Though Baby Lips seems more moisturising when you apply it, it gets absorbed by your lips quickly and you find yourself in need of applying it again. However, this could just be due to the specific shade, since the other shades offer a range of other benefits such as SPF20. I'll strive to collect them all and write a separate post on them.
The Mandarin Lip Butter also has a gorgeous texture thanks again to Shea butter. It's quite thick thanks to the SPF15, which for me is a fantastic benefit that the other two products don't have. That being said, the moisture doesn't last as long as Burt's Bees, but don't let than stop you from adding this to your handbag.

Colour aspect:

If you purchase a tinted lip balm, you obviously expect it to give your lips a hint of colour.  I wanted to have a range of different colours, from pink to red to dark red. As you can see in the picture of the swatches, that goal was achieved with these three products. However, as you see in the pictures below, the clear winner is the Mandarin Lip Butter, with Baby Lips following closely. I don't really see much colour when I apply Burt's Bees, but I understand for some this can be a good thing. I adore the pink colour of Baby Lips and I always have it on when I'm at home.

Price aspect:

Maybelline Baby Lips is the cheapest out of all three and can be purchased at almost every drugstore for only £2.99. It comes in 6 different shades and is totally worth having in your handbag or just to use at home.

Next on the price list is Burt's Bees which can be purchased for £5.99 at http://www.feelunique.com. It comes in an amazing 9 shades! And take my word for it, it's totally worth every penny.

Lastly comes Korres Madarin Lip Butter Stick which costs £8.00 and can be purchased in 5 shades on http://www.feelunique.com. I understand some people might not want to pay this much for a lip balm, but the colour range is gorgeous and the SPF15 makes it much more desirable. The texture is also very unique, you'll love the feeling on your lips.

So there you have it. I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.
