In just over a months time it'll be my 19th birthday so I thought I'd share with you all what I have my eyes on. As I only work part-time I'm not one who would go out their way to buy top of the range brands you would find in Boots, Debenhams or John Lewis. Ever since experimenting with make-up as a young teenager I have always stuck with the same brands which are very affordable for anyone, such as: Rimmel London UK, Bourjois Paris, Collection 2000 which are now known as just Collection, Seventeen, Barry M, and Maybelline. I haven't ever been disappointed with any of these, they always do the job for me so I have no objection.
I've taken a lot of inspiration from the people I follow on my Instagram which has had an affect on me to consider purchasing a range of make-up products I probably wouldn't ever think about buying, one of my recent favourite accounts has to be Plouise Makeup Academy and the reason for this is I find the work done is so attention to detail and I would pay a lot of money to have my make-up done as perfectly as the students have produced. If the Instagram account isn't familar I highly recommend you all check out her accomplishments. The products above in the image I have posted have been spoken about that regularly throughout my feed and mostly on the Instagram account that I favour a lot (linked above). The NARS highlighting blush and Contour kit are the two I want to try the most, I hear a lot about contouring and not knowing much at all about how make-up is applied I have been following various step-to-step photos I've come across just searching around the web, thank god for Google! but I didn't actually realise you have to take a lot of things into consideration such as your face shape otherwise not following these steps will not achieve the look you want. I only have very little amount of Real Techniques brushes which I must extend in the future and as Real Techniques have released there new range of Bold metals which look very luxurious, and wanting to learn the contour 'technique!', of course I'd love to use the Bold metals Collection by Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour as I have been informed it's very suitable for contouring.
Here is an image to help anyone out who is new to contouring just like I am, I'm completely clueless and forgetful when it comes to highlighting and contouring in the correct areas.

My brows are naturally fair which I absolutely loathe, they have gotten thinner over the years due to over plucking which is my biggest regret, yet there are a lot of features I would like to stand out more but my eyebrows have to be the most important for me. I typically use on daily basis a Rimmel London UK's Professional pencil in the shade 'Dark brown' which can be bought from drug stores; Superdrug and Boots, plus supermarkets. I've found no issues with using this the past couple of years, however as new products are launched throughout the year I try to put off from trying them out, majority of the time because of the price and I have to budget very strictly, but as my birthday is approaching I have been desperate to try out Dipbrow Pomade By Anastasia Beverly Hills by reason of amazing feedback and I'm admittedly up for trying something different to improve my appearance and see if this would appeal to me for an everyday usage or even just for special occasions. The advantages of this product is that it is waterproof so I can see myself favouring this a lot, I've never used gel-mouuse formed eyebrow products but reading through reviews it seems to appear it is very flattering and presents a natural look - So surely you can't go wrong for only £15.00?!
Now, I've only just purchased my first ever items from MAC online which are 2 lipstick shades and I routinely allocate my foundation and face powder to cost at least £15.00 in total. I would say I've stuck with brands such as Rimmel London UK and Bourjois Paris for a very long time, Rimmel especially! I'm very dedicated to these because I find they have always had a good reputation/background, also very easy to find in your local high street. I've found for having combination skin (being very dry and very oily) I've been struggling keeping up with touch ups if I'm out anywhere especially in public as it's never nice to have a shiny forehead and extremely dry skin in areas you would like covered, though only a couple of weeks ago I've stumbled across on the MAC website you can have a live web chat for advice on foundation advice, they were incredibly friendly and helpful after me telling them my skin type, skin colour and then they let me know what products I would need which are MAC Pro longwear SPF10 foundation and MAC Mineralize skinfinish natural. So I am very intrigued and determined to use these and all my life I've needed a miracle and I'm praying these might just be it!!!
Have any of you got a birthday coming up soon? I'd love to hear what is on your wish list!
