All things shiny, Top 2 highlight. 

 

I don't really have allot drug store highlights that I really like, I mainly love my high end one but the two I've picked to talk about I think are just as good as high end ones.  I will be showing and talking about MY PERSONAL favourite 2 drugstore highlights so you can also try them out and love them as much as I do. I will be doing these in the order they're in on the swatches, (left to right).
 

MUA undress your skin highlighter

 This highlighter is available in so many shades for the small price of £3! Its so ridiculously pigmented and gives a beautiful glowey look to the skin, it looks super nice when the light hits it.This is by far my favourite highlighter and even better than most of my high end ones, it also lasts forever, im not even close to hitting pan and I feel like I've had it forever. This should be available in most Superdrugs so if you see it be sure to pick it up. 
 

sleek hilighliger- shade 'sun goddess' 

I got this so so so long ago as a gift so im really unsure where you can purchase this but im sure if you google it there will be a way to, again as it was a gift no idea how much it was but I don't think it would of been much as it is a drug store brand. As you can see it is really pigmented and so shimmery yet still looks so natural on the skin and looks gorgeous with a tan! I feel like because you only need a small bit of highlighter they last forever which im not complaining about.

 

  I think highlighters can be so hit or miss and its quite hard to find one that matches your skin tone so I hope this was helpful for you all,  as usual also please comment opinions or any posts you would like me to do, because ill love to hear from you all!:)

thanks for reading!

Top 5 series: bronzers.

 

I have endless amounts of bronzers, for some reason im always drawn to them when I go in a store that sells makeup, the only problem is because I tan allot my skin tone is always changing so some days I need a darker bronzer than others. In these posts I will be showing and talking about MY PERSONAL favourite drugstore bronzers so you can also try them out and love them as much as I do. I will be doing these in the order they're in on the swatches, (top to bottom).
 

Bourjois Delice de Poudre shade 51 and 52

 
I think my favourite thing about these bronzer is that they  they smell AMAZING, like a rich creamy coco smell, its honestly to die for! I have included both shades in this as I use 51 (top shade) when I don't have a tan and 52 (2nd shade) when I do, they give such an even smooth application and no matter what brush you use to apply the bronzer it doesn't go blotchy. Im sure this is about £7.99 which I think is really good value because It literally lasts forever, ive had these both for over a year now.
 

ELF essential bronzer- shade 'sunkissed' 

Before I start I just want to say that I don't think ELF has a UK website anymore so im unsure if you will be able to get this (so helpful I know) but I felt like I had to include it as it was only £1.40 and for ages it was my holy grail, its sooo close to hitting pan but ive had to kind of slow down with it because I really don't want it to run out. This is the perfect bronzer for when im all tanned and beyonced as I like to do a heavy contour so need a bronzer that will show up and this is so pigmented and does the job swimmingly, but like I said there's currently not a uk distributor so if I find a way ill be sure to let you guys know.
 

make up revolution ultra sculpt and contour kit 'fair'

THIS IS £3.50!! How amazing it that price for a bronzer, highlight and blush? although I don't use this that much anymore this used to be one of my favourites (you can hardly tell right?...) The swatch honestly does not do this justice but its the perfect bronzer for fair skin as its buildable and gives a natural finish. I know this is about bronzers but I feel like I need to mention that the highlight and blush are also really pigmented and creamy. perfect for traveling and well worth the money.
 

W7 Hollywood duo bronze and glo.

This bronzer is also lovely for fair skin although its buildable so can also be perfect for darker skin, its a completely matte shade that doesn't give off any 'orangeyness' (that's a word guys) and gives, again, a natural finish. Im unsure how much this was but I think it was about £3.99 which is really good value. w7 is well known for doing dupes of popular products and im 90% sure this is Charlotte Tilbury  dupe although never tried that so cant comment on that.
 

Okkk, so I hope this was helpful for you, im thinking of doing a highend top 5 so if you want to see that then please comment bellow, as usual also please comment opinions because ill love to hear from you all!:)

thanks for reading!
