Hey everyone sorry I haven't been as active as I was last year, I have lack motivation and I have had a writers block. January and February are quite boring months so I wasn't sure what to write. But after having a look through my blog, one of my favourite posts from last year was 'Top Five For Lips'.

Reading through I have realised my lip collection has expanding majorly and I have a whole new set of lips products that I have loved. 

This time however, I have an awkward number in 7! I can't decide between these so I am including them all. Little fact about me, my favourite number is 7 so it kinda makes me happy.  Enjoy.

Number one has to be Kylie Jenner's lip kit in the Shade Koko K.

It was top of my list when this new shade came out to purchase  and I am so happy with it. The colour itself has to be one  my favourite lip shades. I think it works very well with my skin tone. 

I love how it applies to lips and also how long it lasts! Props to Kylie on her new products!!

YSL Glossy Lip Stain No.17  After being totally obsessed with the YSL packaging and wanting to get my hands on their products, I was super exited to find this. This colour is a pretty baby pink and with my obsessed with pink lips (as you will see ) I am completely in love!

It is a bit brighter to be classed as a nude, but I find it very easy to wear on an everyday basis.

I will say after buying the KJ lip kit I have realised it doesn't stay on as long but still amazing!

Mac Frost in 'Angel' I actually picked this up in an make-up outlet in Florida back in July and have been in love ever since. I tend to stick to the pink nude lipstick and this ticks all the boxes. 

It works well my skin tone even though I have pale skin, and gives a gorgeous natural lip for an everyday make-up look. This is a perfect shade for me if I am going to work. 

It has to be one of my favourites Mac lipsticks!!

Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil 'Make Me Proud'  Again a very natural pink nude shade. I actually seen this whilst in Paris back in October in Sephora but unfortunately it was sold out, so my sister Sarah found it in the UK and gave me it as a Christmas gift this year!! 

It is very similar to Angel but it is a lot more glossy and gives a great shine!! 

Similarly, it is perfect for an everyday look!

Mac Creme-sheen 'Naked Proof'  Just like Angel I picked up this up in the Outlet in Florida! This was part of a set which I believe was by Rebecca Moses a few years ago!

I wasn't sure if I was gonna love this product or not. It isn't majorly  out my comfort zone but I normally go with pinks, where as this is more off a coral shade. 

I normally pair this with the liner that came in the kit, Boldly Bare, Which I absolutely love. 

Bobbi Brown Art Stick 'Dusty Pink'  If you had read my last post you'll know that Bobbi Browns Pale Petal is my all time favourite shade!! But I wanted to find the matte shade rather than a Gloss and I did!! Like the last two I found this in the Outlet and it is ideal. 

It might be a shade darker but it is perfect. If I want a basic make-up look but not a nude lip this is what I reach for!! It stays on my lips for a long time and gives great colour!! 

And lastly, Dior Addict Lip Maximiser  Like I have mention before I have pretty small lips, but I have really done anything to them. Except now, I haven't really believed in Lip Plumper or anything like that! Why would anyone want to sting there lips?  But this has changed my mind. It has made a small difference in my lips. I know that gloss itself makes lips look better but I feel it does it job! It feels nice on my lips and gives me a bit more confidence. 

Let me know what your favourite Lip Products are? Also let me know what kind of posts you want me to post!! Would be much appreciated! 

Love Emma

First of all to save me making a noise, waking my family I use this stunning Zoeva Rose Gold make-up bag (Review here). It helps keeps all my items together and its easy access in the morning.

BASE

An early starts means I don't want the hassle of putting on foundation so I use my Collection Concealer all over my face and use my Beauty Blender to blend it in my face, I have to use a good amount to cover up.

I will the apply the concealer again under eyes and any spots or flaws on my face. Again I use my beauty blender to blend the concealer in. I purchased my Beauty blender whilst I was in America in Sephora and I absolutely love it.

POWDER & BRONZER

Powder is next, I use my trusty Stay Matte powder all over my face using my Real Techniques Powder Brush. As powder does it keeps my face less shiny and help hold the concealer in place.  

Next is bronzer, bronzer is something I never leave the house with out so I use my Mac Natural Finish in Medium to give a natural contour, I use my Zoeva brush Cream Cheek brush and give myself a simple contour under my cheekbones. I then will then pull it up contouring my either side of my face and then down contouring my jawline.  

I don't bother with highlight or blush so that is my face done. 

EYES

Mascara next, I use my Tweezerland eyelash curlers bought in Sephora (Haul here) and curl my eyelashes, I then use Maybeline the falsies first, then wait until it drys and the curl again and the apply Benefit Bad Gal lash. I may have to repeat a few times depending on how well my lashes go. 

If I am having a good morning and have times I will use on of my Mac Prolong Paint Pot for quickness, I find them so easy and simple to use. 

Lastly, I fill my brows. I use the shade 'Cover' from the Naked Basics 2 palette. I have been told it is the perfect for me, I fill them in with my Real Techniques eyebrow brush. I love how small this brush is, it means I can get great precision on the brows. 

LIPS

For my lips, I tend to just put lip balm on but I have been loving Revlon Colour Burst in the shade Elusive or Angel by Mac. Both are very pretty neutral shades.

....And thats me done. This would normally take around 15 minutes and is super easy.

So Keira and I were doing what all white girls do, sit in Starbucks and have a gossip. Chatting about PLL, make-up and our blogs. As we are both obsessed with blogging at the minute, we decided to collab. 

We decided to do a Drugstore Vs High Street on our favourites beauty products. Enjoy.  :)

DRUGSTORE VS HIGHSTREET

Favourite Foundation??

Drugstore:- 

Keira: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum

Emma: Max Factor CC cream

High Street:-

Keira: Mac Face and body 

Emma: Nars Sheer Glow 

Verdict?

Keira: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum over MAC Face and Body because Bourjois is so affordable and it sits amazingly on the skin, the colours fit me perfectly and it's just a ride or die foundation. The one I'll always go back to in times of need.

Emma: I would have to say High Street for this one, Nars Sheers Glow has to be my favourite foundation. It works perfectly with my skin and gives great coverage. 

Favourite Concealer??

Drugstore:-

Both: Collection 2000 Long Lasting Concealer

High Street:-

Keira: Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer

Emma: None 

Verdict?

Keira: Urban Decay Naked Concealer over Collection 2000 because I love the colours they have to offer and the texture is so easy to blend out, it doesn't crease and it's just a beautiful concealer.

Emma: I have never bought a High Street concealer as the Collection 2000 one is my holy grail, as it is getting more popular it is getting more and more difficult to get my hands on. It is great for covering break outs and also highlight, It is super affordable so I would never spend over and above for something less quality. 

Favourite Mascara?

Drugstore:-

Both:- Maybeline The Falsies

Highstreet:-

K: Benefit Roller Lash

E: Benefit Bad Gal Lash

Verdict?

K: Maybelline falsies over roller lash because the falsies are just known for being the best drug store mascara, the wand is amazing, the mascara lasts all day, you can get waterproof versions, and it's so cheap! Whereas the rollerlash is still trial and error just now

E: I am going to be really awkward and say both. I haven't got the best  lashes so I have to use a few layers of Mascara. I use the Falsie first and then Bad Gal Lash so I honestly can't decide:(

Favourite Lipstick?

Drugstore:-

K: Kate Moss 30 

E: Elusive by Revlon Colour Burst

High Street?

K: Mehr by Mac

E: Angel by Mac

Verdict?

K: MAC lipsticks over Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks for sure because MAC are known for their amazing lipsticks, the colours and textures are amazing where as the Rimmel ones don't really state what texture of lipstick

E: Just like Keira said Mac have amazing quality lipsticks. This shade is my favourite shade and I think it really suits me. I also love the name ;] So High street wins for me. 

Favourite Eyeshadow?

Drugstore:-

K: Collection 2000 All About the Eyes Palette

E: Soap and Glory What's Nude Palette 

High Street:-

K: Anastasia Shadow Couture Palette

E: Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Verdict?

K: Anastasia Shadow Couture over Collection 200 because of the different colours you get in the palette. You can go for a light smokey, dark smokey, coloured eye etc. 

E: As much the Soap & Glory palette is great for a simply smokey eye, I have to stand by the beautiful Naked 3 palette. I will always go for a shimmer eye and the shade are perfect for my skin tone so this is a must. 

    

Favourite Highlighter? 

Drugstore:- 

K: Kiko 208 eyeshadow 

E: Snowflake in Tanya Burr Galaxy palette. 

Highstreet:-

K: Becca Champagne Pop

E:  Hourglass Ambient Light Palette

Verdict?

K: Becca Highlighter over Kiko 208 eyeshadow because the Beccas highlight is beautiful and it's just so versatile, the texture is creamy whereas the Kiko 208 is actually an eyeshadow that I use as a highlighter and an eyeshadow.

E: As much I would say that Snowflake is gorgeous under the brow, it is just an eyeshadow whereas Ambient Light palette is just beautiful. Like I said in my August favourites all three shade gives you the perfect highlight to brighten your face and helps make your cheekbones pop. Not to mention, the packaging is just lush.

We also made a collab over on Keira's blog, 

(http://www.keirabowman.co.uk) so make sure you give that a read.

I am really excited that it is now September, 

I have a few posts plan so keep your eye peeled haha

Have a fab day,

Love Emma
