Makeup 3 for 2

I was walking past a Superdrug store, about two or three weeks ago and I couldn't resist walking in, when I saw that they had the three for two offer, on all makeup products (boots also does this offer).
I know I'm not the only one that can't wait to get home, to test out your new makeup lol.

This is what I ended up buying.


Yes I know I'm late on buying the Maybeline gel eyeliner, but I finally have it.
I instantly fell in love with it. Girls this is a must have product, I wish I had purchased it sooner. It comes with a two end applicator which is great, if you're like me and don't have a lot of makeup brushes. (I have my eyes on the Zoeva brush sets). One end of the applicator is to define and the other end is to smudge, which helps to create the perfect liner or wing. This gel glides on smoothly and you only need to add the tiniest amount to the brush. The colour is super black and claims to last up to 24 hours. Loving it.

Ladies, if you have short eye lashes like me, this L'oreal volume million lashes in black mascara is for us. I hate how short my lashes are, so I always look for mascara's that will add major length, without them clumping together. I have tried other mascara's but I'm yet to find any that compares to this one. It gives me so much length and I've been asked a few times, what product I use because people have noticed how clump free it is. This is a repurchase and I'll continue to buy it until I find something that is better or compares.

My final product is the Revlon colour stay foundation which is also a repurchase. I've been using the Mac studio fix foundation for some years and a few months ago I decided, I wanted to try something different. After doing loads of research on drug store brands, this foundation seemed very popular. I wanted a foundation that works well for oily skin, as I have a very oily T-zone. I was happy when I found out that this foundation, caters to people with oily skin and they also have one that caters to people with normal skin. How great is that? One thing that is not so great about this, is that they do not cater to a wide range of skin complexions. I was lucky enough to pick this up in the shade caramel, which is the darkest colour I have come across. It's a medium to full coverage but it doesn't feel heavy on the face once applied. I still get a bit of shine through out the day but I touch it up with a bit of powder.

I really need to buy a good primer.
I've heard really great things about the Estee L'audore double wear foundation, so I think I'll give that a try next.

If you know of any great products for oily skin, please let me know.

State of mind

Hmm where do I even start...?
My state of mind, has been all over the place recently. I think it's because I want so much for myself and I get annoyed when, things don't work out, or take really long to progress. I can be really hard on myself at times but I keep trying to remind myself that, the changes I want to make in my life, are not going to happen over night.
I have recently been looking back, over the past 7-8 years of my life (when I was first diagnosed with depression) and I feel proud about how far I've come. The past 8 years have been a roller-coaster but today I can say, I am the strongest I have been in a while. Although I am still going through depression and I am still on medication, I feel like I am slowly becoming me again.

These books were given to me

Here is my issue... Recently I've been struggling with motivation. Some days I can be completely buzzing about life, full of energy, feeling positive and wanting to get everything done and the following day, I'll wake up and become extremely demotivated, feeling negative and not wanting to do a dam thing.
I really dislike feeling like this.
My next step is to find a way of dealing with it, instead of letting it defeat me. I feel like people judge me and tend to think I'm lazy, which I hate. I guess its hard for some people, to understand what I'm currently going through.
I plan on trying to stay motivated and I really want to start blogging often.

Stay motivated and have a great week guys xx
