All The Makeup I Used Up in 2020

2020 has been a crazy year.. but the one thing that's kept me sane is my makeup routine. Even though I've spent all year at home, I've still worn makeup pretty much everyday, so I've still managed to use up quite a lot of products. 

PRIMER 

I got through 3 primers this year which I'm super happy about. I usually don't switch up my primers and will use one until it runs out. 

Glossier Future Dew = £23, Nars Radiance Primer = £29, Smashbox Primerizer = £30

Total = £83

Foundation 

I am terrible at using up foundations and finishing more is definitely a new years resolution of mine. I only managed to get through one this year.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation = £8.99 

 Total = £8.99

Concealer

I got through 4 concealers this year and this is because at the start of lockdown no.1 I gave up on foundation.. but I found I was just using up so much concealer so went back to using a base product first. 
HUDA beauty Overachiever = £24, Elf hydrating Cammo concealer = £5, Maybelline Fit me Concealer = £5.99, Revlon Candid Concealer = £6.99 
Total = £41.98

Powder

Powder is another product I hardly finish. I love to mix and match and rarely see one through 'til the end. I did finish one this year which I'm taking as an achievement 
Glossier Wowder = £18
Total = £18

Bronzer

Again I only finished one bronzer this year, but this bronzer hardly had any fallout and felt like it would never end! 
Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - £25

Blush 
I managed to use up 2 blushes this year and I pretty much used my NARS multiple stick all year, so it explains why I used it up so fast. I sometimes skip bronzer but blush is a product I can't live without. 
Glossier Cloud paint =£15 , Nars Multiple Stick = £30 
Total = £45

Mascara
I ted to go for mascara's that have a thicker formula, as I love the look of thick lashes... but these are the kind of mascara's that dry out quicker, so I tend to get around 4 months out of this kind of mascara. 
Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara = £8.99. Clinique Chubby Lash Mascara = £21, Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara = £22
Total = £51.99

Eye Makeup 
I didn't get through a lot of eye makeup this year... I didn't even hit pan on any eyeshadows. Even though I do my makeup everyday, I've hardly done any eye makeup as I'm not going anywhere ! I love doing my eye makeup though so I really want to get back into it this year. 
Benefit Roller Liner = £19.50, Makeup Revolution Renaissance Liner = £5, Barry M Lid Lock Primer = £4.99 
Total = £29.49
Brow Products 

Normally I crank through brow products but this year I used up 2 tinted gels, 1 pencil and 1 setting gel... it's still a lot but I could have got through more!
Benefit Gimmie Brow Mini = £12, Benefit 24 hour brow setter = £22.50, Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil = £20.50, Nyx Tinted Brow Gel = £6.50
Total = £61.50

Lip Products
I'm pretty proud of the fact I finished 3 lip products this year, especially as I was on accutane until May and didn't use anything other than lip balm. My Charlotte Tilbury lipstick I've just finished after 3 years....it's made me realise I'm never going to get through all my lipsticks! 
Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk = £25, Kiehl's Lip Treatment = £19.50, Elf Lip Lacquer = £3
Total = £47.50

I managed to use up £412.45 of makeup. The sad thing is I've hardly made a dent in my collection and I definitely want to try and use up more next year. I love using makeup but I want to make sure I'm using it up before it expires! There is no better feeling than finishing a product and knowing you've had so much use out of it.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
