I'm just gonna have to stop saying sorry for not posting! Life has just been hectic for me lately! Here's another Makeup Monday:

Realising that you're half way through you uni semester and you've done absolutely nothing is not a great feeling. I've had to spend the last couple of weeks catching up with all my assignments which is the reason behind my lack of post. But anyway here's a new post!

This is a super quick and random post as I need to get to uni! Well I don't know if some of you know but there's 40% off makeup at Priceline today and tomorrow which is quite a bit! So I thought I'd share this quick post about my top 5 chemist products to help some of you out!

AC on tour palette
I've had this probably for 2 weeks but I love it! It's kinda a replacement for my Nars (not that you can replace that) but for days when I'm not going anywhere special and just need some contouring or illuminator and I don't want to waste my Nars virtual domination palette! I like the 5th colour for contouring and the I love the 3rd colour as a illuminator. I would say its quite pigmented, I tend to sweep it with a brush then tap it off and then once I've applied it I need to blend otherwise it can be a bit too much! It is also super cheap!


Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat: 
I said I needed a top coat yesterday, I will probably most likely repurchase this one. Ever since I've used this my nails have dried faster and there's no marks in it. There's still a bit left in my bottle but I can't seem to get it out and the formular seems to have dried up slightly, but I've had it for maybe a year and kept using it. That's something I'll definitely get unless I find something else.

Maybelline Big Eyes Falsies:
This eyeliner I've talked about a while ago I think. I like that it has two bits to it, one for the top and on for the bottom lashes. I definitely is one of the best chemist mascara's I've used.

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil:
I have this in black brown, its been with me for ages, lately I have been using the Anastasia eyebrow along with this one, depending on where I'm going. This is my favourite eyebrow pencil for drugstore but my mum prefers a twirl up pen on, if you like those over pencil then grab the revlon one. But I like this one. The colour I've got can go on quite heavy, I've kinda learnt to not apply it too hard by drawing lightly.

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer:
I think this is probably in everyones chemist makeup kit. It's just so good at concealing or using as a highlighter under the eyes. There's not much to say about it other than it's a fab concealer!

A couple of weeks ago I did a post on the shellac nails I got done. I had the shellac on for 3 weeks before I ended up taking them off on the weekend. The shellac had just grown out and it was starting to annoy me as it got caught on things.

Since I didn't post yesterday on Makeup Monday, I thought I would blog today! I got the tangle teezer a while back. You can get in Australia or on ASOS. I got it in this pretty gold reflective, which I just love cos I think the gold is super sophisticated.


Thoughts on it......
I had super long thick hair when I first got the tangle teezer and I was also in the States, most of time it was quite windy and ended up with super knotty hair. The tangle teezer made it so much easier to comb out the knots, easier than the paddle brush I had. The paddle brush made me feel like I was about to break the brush. The curve of the tangle teezer makes it easy to grip with your palms. It also fits very well into your hand. There is also a protective cover for the comb, which makes it convenient to travel with. If you have shorter hair that doesn't tangle I feel this is a good hair brush. I have shorter hair now and it's doesn't tangle as frequent,  I personally don't think you'll need a tangle teezer as you can brush it out with a normal brush. But since I do have a tangle teezer I most definitely love using it over a brush. Side note: Don't brush through your hair with it if you have product such as wax it in, it will get stuck on the comb! My brother decided to use try out my tangle teezer since it looked cool whilst he had wax!

So I would highly recommend this if you had very knotty hair, cos I loved it when I did and it was super easy to brush out!

Let's talk about that base this week! I'm just gonna go through what I've been loving as base to start off my make up.

Prep the face


I will use the Bio Derma just on a cotton pad and just wipe over the face, just to make sure my face is clean. Sometimes I put on my makeup during the day and by then sometimes it's just a bit oily which is why I just the Bio Derma. I then use the Clinique moisture surge, its a gel formula which I love cos I tend to get shiny due to the weather and I feel with this gel it moisturises my face without giving it an shiny finish like creams do. Then I prime my skin, with the Smashbox photo finish colour correcting primer. It is a travel size one but I'm trying to finish it before starting another primer. But I think it does a pretty good job as primer.

Foundation 


Depending on how my skin is looking or how I'm feeling I'll either pick on of the following foundations:
Nars Sheer Matte: I use this one if I want a fuller coverage. I'll tend to use this if I'm going somewhere nice and I have time to work in my makeup. This will last pretty much all day on me, because the weather is super humid here I will have to blot sometime once if I'm out to keep it matte.
Tarte BB cream: This one also gives me a pretty high coverage, I'd use this when I want some sort of makeup but I can't be bothered with concealers. I just think it's such a great BB cream which almost acts as a foundation and primer as one, if I use this sometimes I won't bother with the primer. This is something I'll definitely be using once uni goes back as I'm quite lazy when it comes to make-up and uni especially when I have 8am starts.
Milani The Multitasker Face Powder: I like using this if I'm having a good skin day, this one just gives a light coverage, I'm sure you can build it up but I will just use the powder brush and just do a light cover with this. It's very quick and easy.
