As my collection grows I'll be adding products to this list so if you see something you like in a video or on any of my social media here is where it'll end up!
Eye Products:
This is from Astor but I believe they don't actually sell it anymore which really sucks! I managed to get mine from Poundland (for £1) and its honestly one of my favourite smaller palettes!
I'm almost certain this is the eyeshadow palette I first brought when I got into makeup. It's honestly so beautiful. I don't tend to use the pencil that comes with it, one side is a highlighter and the other is a black eyeliner. I've had this for so long and should probably use it a lot more than I do.
This is the only brow product that I own and of course it is from Poundland! I surprisingly don't own that many of their own brand makeup items and I haven't used this much. The colours are good for all types and the highlighter you get is actually super cute! Definitely worth the £1 you're spending!
I got these in my 2016 Advent Calendar and I am not 100% sure if you can buy them. I don't really use these as they aren't the colours that I wear. I think the names are cute though.
I really love this palette but some shades are better than the others which is a bit disappointing. The more neon colours are less pigmented and harder to apply (the neon yellow, pink, orange) the neon green didn't swatch as bad as the others. The rest of the colours are super cute, some having a metallic look to them.
This was another product I got in my 2016 Advent Calendar and I really love the colours. I know this product is meant to be a dupe of the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay so having a cheap dupe of a great product is awesome! These shades swatch a lot better than the Acid Brights palette above.
I think I am obligated to get any product named after my starsign and my sister was the one to get me this. I don't tend to use these types of colours and the 'green' metallic shade always looks too gold to me. The highlighter in this was also really hard to swatch but I think it might just be the one I have as my other Eye Wheel is fine.
This Eye Wheel is my favourite. I love the gold and orange and I usually use the brown brow powder as eyeshadow too. The highlighter in this is the same shade thats in all of the Eye Wheels but swatches so much better than the other one I have.
This palette has been one of my favourites from the moment I got it. The shadows are so soft and easy to apply. All of the shades are shiny/metallic and are super pigmented. I can't recommend this enough but I can't seem to find it online anywhere but ebay so thats where the quoted price comes from. I got this in a swap on Depop so didn't pay retail for it!
I've had this for so long and it's gone unused, the colours are cute but not super pigmented. Would be best for subtle looks if you like that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure you can get this cheaper from places like Peacocks but the quoted price is from their website. I'm pretty sure I only paid £2.99 for this.
Face Products:
Foundations:
This is the foundation I am currently using (as of Feb 2017) and I love it. It's not a heavy coverage foundation and the colour matches so well! As you can see I'm almost out so a new one will be arriving soon! I've blended it in for the top swatch and the bottom is to show the colour better. This was an amazing carboot sale find that only cost me £1 and it was brand new!!!
I brought this from a 99p store so wasn't expecting it to be amazing but I actually used it loads. Looking at the colour now it looks way too dark for me so I can't imagine what I must have looked like. The formula is quite nice though.
This was the first BB cream I brought full price and then repurchased. Again the swatch makes it look super dark but I used this for a solid 6-8 months as an all over foundation sort of thing and it worked really well! (and then I found the Bourjois one and that's stuck since).
So I got this from Poundland (for £1 which is amazing!!) and its totally not my shade but I just wanted to see what it was like. The powder is just a general setting powder but the foundation in the bottom part confuses me majorly. Its so wet and then goes semi dry, it's just not a formula I want to work with ever! I don't think Sleek sell these anymore but check your local poundland if this is something you might like!
I love this loose powder and its super cheap! Its great for setting your makeup or for baking your under eyes. I got the Translucent one but they have plenty of other shades so you could use is as powder foundation. I've had this for a while and there's still so much product left, a little goes a long way.
Bronzers:
I love it when you get freebies from magazines, especially if they're Benefit samples! There are mixed reviews on this liquid bronzer, I personally quite like it. Its a nice warm bronze, when blended its subtle and just works great for me. Because it came free with a magazine I didn't have to pay anything for it!
For a £1 bronzer I have used this enough to hit pan. You can never judge a product by its price tag (I am guilty of this with certain brands). It literally looks like the powder version of Benefit's Dew the Hoola.
This is the bronzer I am currently using (as of Feb 2017) and its just the right shade for me. I don't know if you can get these as I got it in my 2016 Advent Calendar but its honestly my favourite right now.
This palette is going to come up again just to warn you! The bronzer in this is very similar to the small one from my Advent Calendar. I don't tend to use this a lot but for the trio £3.50 is a bargain.
Concealers and Contour:
I'm not sure this is my shade but I make it work. It's got really good coverage and the applicator is really easy to use. Again the top swatch is blended in and the bottom is to show the colour.
These are so hard to blend out they dry so quickly!! While they're really easy to use as they're pencils, you have to work quickly with them or you'll end up with thick, half blended lines on your face! I don't know if you will be able to get these all year round as they were in Christmas packaging. These were in a pack of three and were on sale for £2.50!
Highlighters:
I lost the box and lid for this highlighter but its been with me for about 3 years now. I got this back before I really knew what highlighter was and its super cute! I can't remember the price and the brand might be wrong also but I don't think you can get these any more.
This highlighter is amazing and I actually won it in a naming competition. Bitchslap Cosmetics also sell Dick shaped lipsticks, vagina and penis highlighers and also marujuana themed products. The design is a but rubbed out but when it was new it was stunning!
They actually changed the name of the product since I received mine, the new name is 'Lipstick Whore' and mine reads 'Lipstick Addict' which was the name I came up with. Because I won this I didn't have to pay for it, I didn't even have to pay for shipping which I thought was really great!
These are really weird to work with but once blended in it looks amazing. You really don't need a lot of this product as its so pigmented. I got these in a swap on Depop so didn't have to pay retail!
As with all of the Advent Calendar products I don't know if you'll be able to get these anywhere but I really like the liquid highlighter. As for the strobe balm I don't really like it, the colour is just a little too yellow. The liquid is the left swatch, the balm is right.
This palette again! Now this highlighter is the one I've probably used the most out of the ones I've had. Its super subtle and stays pretty much all day.
The highlighters in the Eye Wheels are all the same to my knowledge and its a super subtle highlighter intended for your brow bone. It's a light pinky colour.
I've used this highlighter for my inner eye highlight as it's easy to apply and a really cute peachy pink colour. As with the other two contour crayons I don't know if this will still be available as it was in Christmas packaging. This came in a set of three and because it was on sale it was only £2.50!
This is the only reason I really use this palette. This highlighter is honestly gorgeous. I have debated throwing this out plenty of times but this highlighter stops me. I got this for only £2.99 as it was being sold in the sales.
Blushes:
These blushes are like the only thing besides the eyeshadow palette from the Advent Calendar that you can purchase in store! Hard day is the blush I use most often but if I'm going for a brighter or more dramatic look I'll pick Bang Bang..
Back again for the last time I swear, this blush is so cute! It's like the perfect pink. I did use this all of the time but its been recently replaced by the baked blushes that Makeup Revolution do.
Lip Products:
Lip Glosses:
This is the sample size of the product, while I like the colour I don't tend to really wear glosses so this isn't one of my favourite products. Its quite tacky. I got this in a swap on Depop so didn't have to actually pay for it.
I got these in the Makeup Revolution Advent Calendar as well and as I've mentioned before I don't really like glosses but I think these are really cute!
This 'lipgloss' is actually more of a lipstick. It's very pigmented and applies so nicely. Because it is a gloss it doesn't dry matte so it transfers really easily. Other than that I really love this product!
This is such a cute, sheer, sparkly gloss that's great for layering!
This is a beautiful sheer lipgloss that would be great for layering over a liquid lipstick. It is slightly sticky though which I don't personally like. This was from Poundland so I only paid £1 for it!
This is described as a 'lip lacquer' but it is super glossy and tacky and not something I prefer to use. I love the shade though so if this was in a matte formula I know for sure I would use it all the time! I got this in a set (it came with a nail polish) from Boots in the boxing day sales for only £2.50!
Some more lacquers that I don't really like due to the fact that they are rather tacky. The colours are super cute though and I've worn Aurora out a couple of times but had to constantly reapply due to it transferring. These were both brought from Poundland for £1 each!
I don't know what it is but I have NEVER liked this product. I retry it all of the time yet can never get it to work for me. It's super tacky and the applicator is just annoying to use. I got this in a swap on Depop so didn't have to pay retail!
This smells so good! But as the case is with many of my lip products its really tacky. The process of getting the product out is rather annoying as you have to twist the bottom and you never know how much product is going to come out. I only paid £3.99 for this which is an amazing bargain!
Liquid Lipsticks:
I love this liquid lipstick so much! I was lucky to get it on Depop rather cheap as Colourpop is an American brand and is quite hard to get hold of in the UK. It's a great formula and not streaky at all. I would totally recommend getting this as it's such a lovely colour!
These lipsticks are amazing! I own 5 as you can see. I think the formula is amazing and the only shade that is streaky is Drug Lord but I expect that from a White shade. My personal favourites are Gemini and Rose Matter ( I was actually one of the first people to get one of the Rose Matters when they launched!) Some of these I ordered directly from Jeffree's website (Gemini, Rose Matter and Doll Parts) the others (Queen Supreme and Drug Lord) I got for £9.00 each from sellers on Depop. I did also purchase Celebrity Skin from his website but it smashed :( RIP.
I know this is a Lip cream but I have no where else to pop this! I hands down have to say I use this product 4-5 times a week. The formula is amazing, its buttery and not drying at all! The colour is my absolute favourite! I was brought this by a follower so didn't pay retail!
This is totally not my shade but it was too pretty to pass up! I don't like the spongy applicator and the fact you have to squeeze it up but it's such a pretty subtle metallic lipstick! It doesn't completely dry matte but I still like it. I only paid £5.99 for this so it was a great bargain!
Lipsticks:
This lipstick is a bargain at only £1! It's such a pretty colour but I would like it a lot more if it had a matte finish.
These lipsticks I got in the Makeup Revolution 2016 Advent Calendar so I don't know if you can purchase these but they are gorgeous! I love all the shade and I will probably wear all of them.
This lipstick used to be one of my favourite products. It's a beautiful colour and so full coverage on your lips it's honestly amazing. I didn't pay full price for this as I got it from Cosmetics Fairy. I'm pretty sure I only paid £2.99.
I think everyone has to have a black lipstick. It's not personally something I would wear out on it's own but throw this into an ombre look and it's a sure thing! It's a creamy formula and doesn't dry matte so isn't drying. I didn't buy this for myself it was a present from my parents.
Lip Liners:
This is such a lovely deep plum colour and was one of my favourite liners to use. I got this in a Depop swap so didn't have to pay retail.
These are so amazing for the price! I believe the shades come at random but I love the selection I got. They're not hard to work with and are nice and creamy when applying!
