Hey Guys, Welcome to the second Favourite's & Fails of the year! I am quite excited for this one, I have tried lots of new products this month and there have definitely been some hits and misses! So make sure you check out down below what I was loving and what I would avoid! Product Of The Month This has been the easiest product I have ever picked as product of the month. Anastasia Beverly Hills X Amrezy Highlighter. This is available on Anastasia Beverly Hills Website UK for £29 and in my opinion is worth every penny! If you buy only one highlighter this year make sure it is this one! It's a gorgeous light gold that would suit all skin tones. It is truly blinding and gives you the most beautiful glow! Check out my full review here. 2. Jouer Cosmetics Blush Bouquet Dual Blush Palette. This is available from BeautyBay & Cult Beauty for between £25-28. I purchased Adore which is a warm dusty peach and a shimmering warm pale nude. This is highly pigmented and long lasting. Perfect to travel with and the packaging is absolutely beautiful, with a gorgeous floral print. 3. Benefit's BadGal BANG Mascara. You can purchase this from Benefit's website, Debenhams & Boots for £21.50, there is also a mini version, however it has been sold out most of the time since of release. This mascara promises 36 hours of wear which I'm not sure I agree with. I do however love how well it turns out, how well it lifts the lashes. It also lengthens and adds volume. I have incredibly straight lashes and so far for me the results are amazing! I love the blacker that black formula. This mascara gives you some serious lift, volume and length.

This was a mini set that cost £20. I have fallen in love with them especially the blush, this last month. It's a gorgeous coral/pink shade which is different for me. It gives me a gorgeous faint colour, which can be built up. It does have a small amount of glitter which I normally don't like in a blusher however it blends in well with your highlighter and gives you a gorgeous colour for winter months. The lipstick is a true match to the blusher and perfect for everyday use. 5. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer This one is a oldie but a goodie. I recently fell back in love with smashbox's photo finish primer which you can get from both the Smashbox website and Boots. It retails at £15 for the travel size and £26 for the full size. Pores aren't one of my biggest issues however this primer does minimise them, evens out my skin tone, giving me a completely smooth canvas to apply my make up too. I do think this primer helps the longevity of my make up. A little really does go a long way with this product so for me, this primer is well worth it's price! 6. Real Techniques Brush Crush 305 This is a eyeshadow brush and it works so well, it picks up product really well. It blends like a dream and feels comfortable in the hand. 301 This is a foundation brush however I have been using it for baking and wiping away loose powder. It is so soft and works amazingly, it wipes excess powder away without effort. It's a versatile brush and can be used for many different things. I love real technique brushes and these are no exception. I love the glitter and the ombré that runs through the super soft bristles! Well worth their price, which ranges between £9.99 - £12.99 7. Freedom Make Up HD Eye Foils These where originally on sale for £5 but I purchased them when they where on sale for just £2.50! Such a bargain for something that preforms so well! They are extremely pigmented & blend out like a dream. These are a little hit and miss to find on Superdrug but definitely worth grabbing if you see them for sale! Disappointing Products First up we have the new sister to Benefits Pore fessional which is a cult classic for a reason - it works! You can purchase the new Pore fessional Pearl primer from Benefit's website, Boots & Cult for £27.50, you can also get the mini travel size for £10.50. Now it's not that this is an awful primer because it isn't. It does exactly the same as the original, it's pore minimising, oil controlling and gives you a smooth canvas to apply your foundation. It just doesn't brighten your skin like it claims, it gives a very ( and I mean very ) faint pearlescent glimmer, but it's so faint you can barely notice it. Which is why it's a bit of a flop for me, I'll be sticking to the original for sure! 2. Maybelline's Master Holographic Highlighter After falling in love with Maybelline's Master Chrome's gold highlighter I thought I would pick up another and give it a go & I wish I hadn't! This highlighter is a complete flop for me! I purchased this from Superdrug for £7.99. Not only is it far to light for my skin tone, it leaves a white cast over the skin, in certain lights it looks like I have flour on my face. It is extremely chunky and the formula is very dry compared to the master chrome's which was so buttery and soft. This is very chalky and has large glitter pieces which I am not a fan of. Doesn't stay on the skin very long at all, within an hour or so it had pretty much disappeared. I would avoid this like the plague, a huge flop for me. Let me know what products you have been loving or hating and maybe I will check them out! Also make sure you check out my social media channels for a giveaway! Until Next Time,
