Simply Pure Make Remover Wipes

These were 99p for 3 packets of 25 and boy can you tell! These wipes aren't very moist and take at least 3 wipes just to remove your eye make-up. Not worth it. 

I will not be repurchasing these.

Spa - Cleansing Eye Make-up remover pads

These were 89p for 2 packets of 30 from HomeBargains. They are a bargain price and a couple of these will remove your eye make-up, at least you think you have, then you will have a bath/shower and find mascara all over your face. 

I will not be repurchasing

Lip Gloss Pot, Blistex Med Plus, Nivea Moisture Care

Lip Gloss Pot 

Sticky, glitter gets all over your face

I will not repurchase

Blistex

This tingles when your use it, which made me believe it worked as a lip balm, but once this tingling has gone my lips felt worse, and more dry, than they were before.

I will not repurchase

Nivea Essential Care

This works and effectively moisturises your lips but I wouldn't say this is my favourite lip balm

I would consider to repurchase this

Primark Eyeshadow Mousse

I believe this has been discontinued anyway but I do think that for 50p that this was a good quality eyeshadow ( to wear on its own) but does not add any lasting power if you wanted to use this as an eyeshadow base

I wouldn't repurchase

No7 Blusher

I love No7 Blushers, full stop. Very natural looking, easy to blend and pigmented colours

I would repurchase

No7 Cleanse and Care Eye Make-up remover

It does the job but I wouldn't rush to repurchase this as it can be quite oily ( even when shaking the bottle) and leaves a residue.

I would not repurchase

Batiste Diva

Smells great. Absorbs oil. Great dry shampoo

I would repurchase

Sure Cool Pink

Hate this. It doesn't work - without being too graphic it doesn't smell that great and doesn't leave you feeling fresh. It DOES let you down!

Would not repurchase

That's all for February - What products have you used up recently??

MAC Bare Study Paint Pot, No7 Eyeshadows - Wheatsheaf , Nivea Creme, MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base, MAC Select Moisturecover, Real Techniques Stippling Brush, Sudo Crem, Natural Collection Powder ( Cool Translucent)

Another month, another favourites! This month, surprisingly , has gone really slow for me ( even as the shortest month of the year ) and hasn't been that exciting!

Onto the favourites ( in no particular order) ...

Natural Collection Loose Powder

This month, as the sun has been finally making an appearance, I have been going for a more dewy and bronzed complexion. I initially purchased this Loose Powder as a face powder but it is far too orange so I substituted this for a bronzer/ blusher and this has been doing a perfect job.

It doesn't last for ages on the skin, as you'd expect, but does successfully contour your face.

Sudocrem

For the past 5 weeks I have been trialing the ProActiv skincare system and it has been driving me stir crazy! My skin has run full circle, breaking out here there and everywhere so I have been applying Sudo to aid the spots to vanish.  

Real Techniques Stippling Brush

I have only owned this brush for a week but I am already sold. A must have in my opinion. It is so gentle on the skin and blends concealer like a dream. I also use this for my cream colour base - which I hardly touched before.

MAC Cream Colour Base - Pearl

When I first got this I didn't have the correct brush to apply this ( before my stippling brush) and just used my fingers. Because i'm lazy, I wouldn't reach for this to use on a regular basis so it just lay gathering dust. Now I have my perfect tool, I have been using this for the past couple of weeks and it gives a gorgeous healthy glow - I love it!

MAC Select Moisturecover 

This must have been on every favourites since June. I love this. It covers undereye circles but isn't heavy or drying. I'm sadly running out of this and would definitely consider repurchasing this.

Nivea Creme

Using ProActiv, I have found my skin become significantly more dry so I have needed extra help, other than my usual moisturiser, to replenish my skin. This works perfectly, as its thick, to soothe and moisturise the skin - leaving it "normal" again. 

MAC Paint Pot - Bare Study

At first I didn't feel this made a difference, mainly because of how natural it looks when worn on its own, but I have noticed that when using this my eye shadow lasts longer.

No7 Eyeshadow

As you can see, these eyeshadows get their regular use and it won't be long until they're gone. I love No7 Eyeshadows as a whole - they aren't chalky, they have good pigmentation, they'll last and these, like many other shades, are very wearable and are perfect for school.

Thats all. What are your February Favourites??

I have always lusted over Z-palettes and the likes but have never felt I could justify spending £20 on an empty palette.

In the past I have put pans into my old ELF Studio packaging but it working, so it got me researching online to give me some ideas.

When watching/reading about DIY palettes, they often needed materials that I didn't have at home or couldn't get hold of but this DIY palette, I think, is made from materials that most people will have in their homes, or can easily access.

You will need:

An empty tin

 Thin Magnets ( I used innocent magnets free with their smoothies)

Nail Glue

Scissors 

Make-up in pan form

First I got the magnets and cut them, or left them, so that they covered most of the make-up pan.

I then placed a small amount of nail glue, I suppose eyelash glue may work similar, onto each corner on the coloured side of the magnet and stuck it to the base of the make-up pans.

I then left the magnets to dry, for 3-4 minutes.

The make-up pans now are ready to place into the tin securely.

Voila... a DIY make-up palette.

I am always having a nosy at other people's make-up collections, whether it be on blogs or YouTube, to get inspiration for my collection.

Because of this, I thought that many readers may too want a nosy at my make-up storage. I store (most of) my make-up in my dressing table drawer which is convenient as most of my make-up is in one place and easily accessible. 

My make-up collection isn't very large but is definitely not a small collection.

I was thinking of going into more detail of each section of the drawer ( if you're interested) to give you a better idea.

What do you think??

Please link me to your make-up collections if you've blogged about it x
