emmalanglands: make-up

Hey lovelies, so I was lucky enough to see Taylor Swift last night in Glasgow.

I thought I would do something a little different and I would show you what make-up products I I wore. Unfortunately I never got a picture of my make-up, but these are the products.

Left -Right. Top-Bottom

The Fab Pore by Soap and Glory.

I finally found a perfect moisturizer for my skin. It is amazing.

Mac Natural Finish Powder in Medium.

I use this for my bronzer and it gives a very natural contour

Mac Cinderella Highlighter.

This gives the prettiest shimmer on your skin.

Two Faced La Belle Carousel.

I used Angel Hair and Haute Chocolate. Angel Hair is a gorgeous gold for all over my lid as well as on my lower lash, while I used Haute Chocolate in my crease.

Mac Hip'n'Happy Lip Liner.

Nake Two Basic Palette
Cover is a perfect shade for my eyebrows. I get a lot of compliments on them whilst using the colour.

Mac 'Blush Baby' Blush.
This blush matches my natural skin tone perfectly.

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc (Light 2)
This has to be my all time favourite foundation.

Collection 2000 Long Lasting Concealer.
My holy grail concealer.(When it isn't sold out).

Benefit Bad Gal Lash.
This is not always my go to mascara but last night it worked perfectly.

Topshop Gel Liner.
I am not the best at the wing eyeliner right now but I do love this as it is super easy to apply, and gives a great look.

And Lastly Lush Bubblegum Lip scrub.
This really helps moisture my lips.

Like I mention this was Taylor. It was such a great night!! She is such a kind and down to earth person and if more people where like her the world would be a better place.

I don't get a lot of photos but here is my favourite. After waiting six years to see her, She was incredible, it was definitely worth the wait.

Big appreciation to Taylor, if you ever get the chance to to her perform live I would HIGHLY recommend it.
What is your ' MOTD'?
What artist are you loving right now?
See you Sunday.
Love Emma

Everyone has their beauty essentials or their go to make-up!! I'm certainly not any different, These are my beauty essentials I could not live without....

Nars Sheer Glow.....

I purchased this in the middle of 2014 and has been my favourite foundation ever since, trying to find a good coverage foundation that doesn't go cakey is hard but this is perfect!! I would say it has medium to high coverage but you can certainly build. It leaves my face looking very smooth...

Eye lash curlers.

I have red, ginger, strawberry blonde hair.. Which means my eyelashes are super light!! This gives me really nothing to work with, on top of that I have no curl to my eyelashes... I own Models Own eyelash curlers as well as a heated eye lash curler...I can't leave the house without either one of them. Both do a really good job on my eyelashes, making them the best they can be!!

Mascara

To enhance my short, light, non-curly eye lashes I need to use a great mascara. Like I said in my March favourites I use Maybeline the Falsies!! It has been a staple in my make up collection last month. Two coats maybe three aswell as using my curlers do the best job ever!!!!!

Collection 2000 Concealer is a god send!! I rely on this concealer so much. It gives great coverage and is so easy to appply. I use it to highlight and if I am having a particularly good face day, I will use it as my base,I have heard and seen a lot of Beauty Youtubers talk about this and I can definitely see why they love it.

Bronzer, like I said in my make addict tag I couldn't live without bronzer!! I honestly love the way it can complete and change your face!!! My must have bronzer is Mac Natural Finish in medium!! I have fair skin so this really does the job, it gives a natural coutour and a natural warmth. I also use MUA bronzer as an everyday bronzer, this is slightly darker but I would apply a little less,. Coming into the summer, Using bronzer will be great to give the warmth to your face.

Perfume..... you always have to smell nice right?!? Going to the shops or going out at night everything is better when you smell nice... I have quite a few perfumes but my essential is Chanel Chance, I was given this as a 16th birthday gift and ever since I have been given it atleast 3 times! It is 100% my favourite perfume!! Every day perfume I do love are Britney Spears-Curious and One Direction- Our Moment.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR BEAUTY ESSENTIALS ARE?

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter, eat as much chocolate as can and enjoy family time!!!....

The end of March has came around so quickly!! It doesn't feel a whole month since I wrote my February favs! I guess I am excited that it is coming into to spring... I am a Winter Girl but I am tired of the horrible weather.. So hopefully April will bring more sunshine... Fingers crossed!!

BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Falsies Maybeline Mascara- Now I purchased this a good while a go, it was my favourite mascara. I know that this is bad but I kept using the same tube that I had been for a while. It wasn't exactly doing its job and I didn't like it, but after finding a new one is my collection I started to re used it!!!

I absolutely love it, I have no curl to my eyes and this one does the job.. It has good coverage over the lash without going clumpy, the curved brush will always make my lashes look very long... It is my go to mascara this month and I think it will continue for a long time!!

Lush lip scrub Bubblegum- I have heard amazing things about this product for a very long time but never really got round to buying it. I guess I never real needed it, but over the last two months my lips have been really bad.. Really dry and sore. So I thought I would bite the bullet and purchase it...

It is amazing!!!! You only really need a little bit into your finger and then apply to your lips and rub!!!! I believe it is like a exfoliater for your lips!! It makes my lips feel very soft and not to mention tasting incredible. The bubblegum flavoring adds a bonus as you can lick it off. Like my mascara I think it will be a lifelong favourite

Cinderella Highlighter.,,.

I had to mention one of these products.. as I purchased the Mac Cinderella collection at the start of the month.. I reviewed it here... And after using all the products this was my fav.. Like I said in the post I had been looking for a highlight for a long time and this is perfect! It gives a perfect subtle glow to the face and it is a definite in my everyday make up!!'

Random Favourites

This again is something I've had for nearly a year! I revived my Fujifilm Polaroid for my 19th Birthday last year and I am completely in love, but I have it really need using it for special occasions. But this moth k have used it a lot... I adore hanging them on my wall. I can't wait to take more!!!!

The food product I have been enjoying has been Almond butter. I am not a big fan of peanut butter but I did want something that I could spread on rice cakes or for a quick snack. So when I seen this in my supermarket I thought i would give it a go.

The best way I have it is on rice cakes, it adds a sweet flavour as a perfect snack, I always put half a spoonful into my porridge in the morning and again it gives a very sweet flavouring!!

It is also a lot healthier than peanut butter and I would totally recommend. All of course is GF

After watching the Hobbit with my family my favourite song is I See Fire-Ed Sheeran!

I am a massive fan of his and his album is always on repeats but this month I just can't stop singing this song.. The first part gets me every-time ...

Pretty Little Liars HAS to get a mention after the long awaited reveal if 'A'. I've loved PLL for over two years and I've became obsessed but the last season has been so nail biting. Season five has definitely been my fav... I can't believe we know and at the same time we don't know who a is.... I honestly can't wait until June!!!

Hope your having a great day!!!

What are your March Favs?! What are your Pll theories?!

Hey m'lovelys, Hope you are all having a great day.

For me Make-up Brushes are one of the most essential things to make or break your make-up look... I feel that you need the right brushes to create the perfect face... so here are my Top 5 brushes...

The first brush is the Sephora 57 Pro Airbrush Conceal brush.. I purchased this in Sephora whilst on holiday in Milan with my family and it is a brilliant brush!!

I use it with my concealer to cover up my problems areas and I feel it makes these area look smooth and flawless.

The brush is super soft and very easy to use!! It is very worth the money and I would certainly recommend!!

The second brush is Real Techniques Bold Metallic Oval Shadow brush...

This brush is meant for your eyes and it is a very good Eye brush however I use it as a concealer brush!! I feel that this brush is the right shape and well as having the right fluffiness for a perfect concealer brush. I use this brush more for highlight rather than my problem areas. But both this and my Sephora Brush is a perfect match.

This is my most recent purchase, aswell as it being an amazing brush, the Bold Metals collection is beautiful..

The third brush on my list is Sephora 73 Crease brush...

Again I purchased this whilst in Milan! I would definitely say it was a dupe for MAC 217, I had been looking for a blending/fluffy brush for a long time and heard amazing reviews about MAC 217... I was on my way to the MAC counter as I seen this brush...

It is a perfect shape for blending and it holds a lot of product! It creates the perfect look without shedding! This brush is very affordable and a must have in your make-up collection.

Number four is Real Techniques Expert Face Brush....

This has to be my all time favourite foundation brush! Having went through a phase of using my fingers (I know, disgusting) I found Real Techniques brushes, thanks to my sister. I firstly swore by Real Techniques buffing Brush, I loved it and it made my make-up apply really nice But then I purchased the Expert Face brush for my friends Christmas, I had forgot my brushes one day after staying over and she was really kind in letting my borrow her brush.. I was in love... The foundation went on so smoothly and it sat perfectly!!

I automatically put it on my Christmas list last year and was super lucky to have received it!!! The brush is super soft yet it gives a very good coverage and like I said it makes my face look smooth and flawless.

The last brush and right now my favourite is Real Techniques Cheek Brush...

Like all Real Techniques brushes it is super soft and very good value. This came in a set name Nics Picks, and I believe it was a set exclusive.

I use this firstly as a bronzer brush, the dense bristles means I can build colour and create perfect contour. I then use it for my blush, again the soft dense brush means I can build colour.

It is very easy to use and gives a lovely effect!! I would highly recommend if you can get your hands on it!!

What is your top brushes? Leave in the comments any recommendations?!

I don't know what I am more excited about, the products or being able to write this post!!! Okay, maybe the products... As you would have guessed from the title I purchased the MAC Cinderella collection.

Disney is one of my favourite things and now so is make-up so put them both together you get a winning combo... I have to say the whole collection was super pretty and if I could, I would have bought everything. But I limited myself and really got the things that I need.

The first product I bought was the Studio Eye Gloss - Lightly Taupe.

At the moment I am getting into experimenting with my eye makeup so I thought this would be perfect for my collection. I have never tried an eye gloss before so I was very intrigued. It is scary opening and realizing that it is a gloss form but it does, however, sits very nice on your eyelid.

I love how the colour is very subtle and could be used on its own as an everyday lid but also could be layered on top for a more 'going out' look. I particularly love that if caught in the right light it does give a beautiful shimmer.

The second product Cinderella Glitter - Reflects Pearl.

I was super excited about this as I have been looking for a glitter that I could use under my brow and as a highlight, I think in the rush to actually pick what I wanted from the collection I never realized that this product was not actually safe for the eye but for the face body and hair...

Aside from that, I am absolutely in love with it, it is super sparkly and with the right base, it could, in fact, go on my eyes. I am really excited to use this product.

The last product I picked up a Cinderella Beauty Powder in Mystery Princess.

This has to my favourite out of them all and it was the one I did needed the most. I have been looking for a highlighter for a long time and this really caught my eye.

The colour is very subtle and is described as a "pink beige with silver shimmer.". Like I said I use this as a highlight, I think it gives a light shimmer to your face. I am very happy that this is now part of my collection.

Overall. I loved the products. I also think that the packaging in gorgeous and represents Cinderella very well. I would highly recommend all these products, Big shout out to my friend Keira for ordering these for me!!

Let me know in the comments if you purchased any of MAC Cinderella Collection?

So my friend Keira did this tag I while ago but I thought I would give it ago, this is the Make-Up Addict Tag...

Which product do you keep still buying more of despite having plenty in your collection? Nail polish, this isn't partially make-up but I have an obsession!! I have too many, some the same colour but different brands but I just can't help myself.....
What’s the one product you couldn’t live without? Bronzer, no matter if I am wearing a full face of makeup or a minimal face I always feel that I need bronzer. I love how much it shapes your face and gives you a glow.
Favourite make-up brand? MAC, as I have became more obsessed about make-up I will fall on MAC, I think their brand is very high quality! My two favourites products would have to be Natural Skin finish powder and Blush Baby blush. Although I am loving Soap and Glory at the moment, their archery eyebrow pencil and eye shadow are my favourites!
How big is your make-up collection? I would say I would have quite a small makeup collection compared to others, It is however growing..
And how do you like to store it? I have a makeup table in my room which has one full drawer plus I purchased a clear holder of Amazon which I store my every day/popular makeup..
How many items of make-up have you got in your handbag at the moment? Since I have been working I don't carry a lot of makeup but my average makeup bag consists of a Mini sample of Clique Redness Solutions Makeup, Benefit bad girl lash mini, 3 collection 2000 concealer haha, Rimmel Powder, and MUA bronzer.
If you could raid another blogger’s stash, who would it be? I would have to say Zoe for one reason, her Zoeva brush collection. The rose gold brushes are beautiful and Zoe seems to have quite a lot...

Photo from Zoella.co.uk
How long does your usual make-up routine take and how many products do you use? Depending on the day and where I am going it can take me 15 mins- an hour and a half! Normally if i am going out then I like to take my time and pretend I'm some sort of youtubers ahahah
Have you ever bought make-up knowing you wouldn’t use it?
At the moment I'm in between whether I can pull of Miley Cyrus Viva Glam Lipstick, it's quite bright and I'm not sure if I will suit it but I can give it a go..
Tag a few other make-up addicts to do the tag!
Who ever reads this!!

One month later and we have a blog post, sorry about that, but here is goes...

Primers for me have always been a should I or shouldn't I buy one? I haven't seen the big fascinating on primers before but as I am broadening my make-up collection I decided to go for it.

My friend Keira and I went on a big splurge the other day and I was very happy to pick up the Smashbox try primer starter kit.

I had heard a lot of great things on Smashbox primers so I thought I would give it a go. .

First of all I love the size, trying a product for the first time can be scary, buying the biggest bottle can be pointless if you don't like the product.

The foundation primer, I apply this after I cleanse and moisturize my face.

This product isn't to heavy on my face and I love the feeling as I apply. I only need a pea size amount on my fingers to cover my whole face.

I do feel that my foundation has applied a lot better on to my face and that it looks a lot smoother. There is no smell which is a bonus, and with having fairly oily skin, I love that it is oil free.

The Under eye Primer, This has to be my favourite product out the whole kit, an eye primer has been something I have been looking for a while, I feel my eyes have been going wrinkly after I have worn my make for a long time.
Using this product I again only need a pea size amount and dab under my eyes, I apply a little before my concealer, it makes my concealer go on a lot easier and again smoother, then I apply it after powder to hold in place and with the touch of shimmer through it it works as a highlight.

I don't partially have dry under eyes, but I am excited to see how hydrating it can be on my eyes..

The last product in the set was The Lid Primer, I've never been a fan of eye primers but I am very happy with this one.

The first bonus of this product is the colour, I really love the fact that it's the same colour of foundation, I will normally forget to cover my eyes with foundation so this is just perfect. After using a lot of eye shadow I did feel my eye shadow stayed in place for a lot longer and it also made the colour stand out more. .

Overall I am very happy with these products and would most definitely consider buying the larger size.

Let me know if you know any other good primers???

Love Emma xox
