Preparation for winter/Beauty Buys


Hello Fashionistas, 

I hope you're all well, it's been a while, I know. After my graduation, I have been travelling all over the place, that's why I haven't been around much. It's been fun and now I am much settled into one place although I'm still getting used to it. 

Today, I wanted to share my favourite beauty products for winter that I have been testing out. So far, it has been working great on my skin. Some of these products I have been using for a while and some are totally new. 

I too understand that winter is that time of the year where our skin gets dried and break outs. It's also difficult because you have to try and keep your face warm too. So it's a tricky one. If you haven't already noticed that I love my red lipsticks, this season, I will be doing a lot of nudes and darks. 

So here we are 

I have recently purchased a 120 eyeshadow pallet in nudes and dark colours. I own a couple more, but I wanted to do something different with my eyeshadow for winter. So I'm keeping it simple. I am also in love with the All fired up Retro Matte lipstick by M.A.C and the Sin Matte lipstick also by M.A.C, it keeps my lips warm as the cold weather has started and lasts long too. 

My favourite fragrances for this season are CK Shock for her by Calvin Klein and Lanvin Me. I'm not too big on fragrances and I love something that smells light, but good too. So I decided to go for these two and try something different. 

In the picture above I also have the M.U.A LUXE velvet lip lacquer in Kookie, Maybelline New York Master Khol eyeliner ( this is by far the best eyeliner I've tried), Fashionista Double Collection mascara, which comes in two parts, step 1, which is the ultra lengthening base coat and step 2, the intense colour coverage and volume, I am also using P.I.A waterproof Kohl eye pencil. 


I had to do this one separately because this is the best micellar water I have ever used. It's by B.Pure and available in Superdrug stores  across the UK ( currently on offer for £4.99 buy one get one free). It's like a cleanser that dissolves impurities and it works well for all skin types. This is also great as a make up remover as it leaves no make up whatsoever. 

I hope you've enjoyed the post. 

As always thank you for reading, 
Love Elle Xoxo
