PRETTY YOUNG THING

* this is a pr sample, this review is honest and I have not been paid for this post

So heres another Holiday series post, i'm off to tenerife next week so I have been picking up a few bits and pieces to take away with me. I have picked up a few drug store products recently. Even though they are for my holiday I have given them a go I can share my intial thoughts with you.

The Boujois CC cream is a lovely product, it's designed to cover and correct areas like dark circles and blemishes. I think this works really well but I couldn't wear it on its own as a foundation, I don't think it blends very well and it tends to come off when your applying it with a brush. I've been using this more as a concealer, I have been using it to correct my dark circles and blemishes and then using my every day foundation or bb cream over the top.

I used the maybelline bb cream last year and I have picked it up again, its designed for oily/combination skin. It gives great coverage and its very easy to apply and its long lasting. It gives a nice natural finish.

I also picked up this Rimmel bb cream, again it gives great coverage and leaves the skin looking very natural, it's easy to apply and works well on top of the bourjois cc cream.

I always use Rimmel Stay Matte powder, I've used other powders and they just don't seem to compare. I do tend to get abit shiny towards the end of the day however I have the most oily skin and no matter what I do I still end up shiny, I use blotting paper which does the job.

Illamasqua is such a fabulous brand, i like to use bright blushers especially in the summer so I will be bringing my powder blush along with me. Its got great staying power so i know it will last all day and night.

The collection brow kit is a new addition to my make up bag, theres 3 different shades of powder a brush and a clear mascara. You apply the powder to the brow and then lock it in using the mascara. I'm really happy with this cute little kit, I think my brows look great and its a bargain it was like £4.


What products do you bring on holiday?

It literally looked like it was going to rain so bad so I decided to quickly take some outfit photos. I haven't wore this skirt for ages and I couldn't find my other pleated one. I really like these sandals from Primark they are really good quality. I've popped this dress on today with a skirt but you could wear it just as a dress however I felt like it needed something else. I think i'd happily wear it on alone on holiday but its just abit short for everyday. I think it looks great here tucked into a skirt tho. I'm sure you could wear it so many different ways. I love daisy patterns I think I have like 2 daisy print dresses and 1 skirt. I'm abit obsessed haha.

We went to Birmingham today so I could have a skin test as i'm having my hair done on Friday. I popped into Primark and bought loads again! Everytime I've been to primark recently i've bought loads and loads. This skirt is from one of my previous visits. It was only £9 and I think it's perfect for the summer. I think it looks so much more expensive that it actually is.

I got a new job this week. I'm now a sales associate at Bravissimo. I'm still on the payrole at Pizza Hut but I won't really be picking up shifts unless I really need them. I'm so excited to start the new role.
