MUST HAVE Lipsticks for Brown girls
HI GUYSS... excuse the poor image quality as this is a rush one, I didn't mean to abandon the blog this way but this year has been a roller coaster indeed... more on that another time maybe.
Anyway, I just had to share these two drugstore gems with you all. At a mere £1 each they're currently on a 3 for 2 offer so I bought a back up of my all time fave, Fawn Fancy. Here's the link to them both Fawn Fancy and Shade 11. Just in case you're not aware, Superdrugs do free P&P with absolutely no minimum spend for their beauty card holders so go ahead and take advantage.
As for formula, I can't compare with high end lipsticks as I've only ever ventured there for liquid formulas but I will say that these tend to last long if I do the Wayne Goss tip of placing a tissue paper over my lips after application, and then dabbing some translucent powder over the top. It gives a gorgeous airbrushed look to it.. no longer exaggerating lip lines and creases and keeps it in place practically all day with minumum touch up required. The white tube (Fawn Fancy) is a true matte formula and the black tube (Shade 11) is not.. so it's not overly glossy but it's not quite matte so not as long wearing either.
Anyways, enjoy! xo
£4 Makeup Brush Set for Starters!
Yes, Really... 12 Quality brushes for a mere £4! Do not underestimate Ebay again.. these brushes are VERY similar to the Sigma Mr. Bunny set that's been discontinued. It literally contains everything you'd need if you're starting out with makeup so it's ideal for teens and students. None of the brushes shed any hair when being washed and feel just as soft as my original Real Techniques Core Collection set. Once upon a time I actually used to think "meh.. I don't need all these different kinds of brushes for good makeup application" but I was very very wrong. You do need good brushes and this set is perfect... trust me.
I would even recommend these for travel, because if you're like me, you only take with you on your journeys the things you wouldn't be heartbroken over losing or being damaged in your luggage so instead of taking my Morphe or RT brushes, I can grab these and go.
The set contains the following brushes:
-Flat foundation brush
-Stippling brush
-Large powder brush
-Angled blush brush
-Angled eye brush
-Concealer brush
-Flat fluffy shadow brush
-Round fluffy shadow brush
-Eye shader brush
-Lip brush
-Liner brush
-Angled liner/brow brush

Easy Food | Peri Peri Chips
Ever since I ate at Toro's Steakhouse for the first time, I became somewhat addicted to the peri peri chips they do. I'd only need to be passing by to then stop and get some to take home. Every. Single. Time. Then I decided on giving it a go making them myself and so I did, Hurrah!
What you need:
- Nandos Peri Peri Sauce (I get mine from Asda or Tesco)
- Your favourite tomato ketchup (fellow addicts will know the difference lol)
- Plain chips - I oven bake mine with a dust of salt over
- Bowl and plate to cover it properly
Method:
Again, I normally only eyeball my measurements, theres no set amount that I do but for explanation purposes I'd say I use roughly 4 tablespoons of Ketchup and 3 tablespoons of Peri Peri sauce for about 3 handfuls of chips. But my pictures might explain better. You basically need enough to coat the chips well and need to put the sauces directly into whatever bowl you're using. Then mix the two sauces, chuck in your chips, cover with the plate and shake, shake, shake! When they're evenly coated you're done. It's best to do this while the chips are still hot so they absorb the sauce and it spreads easier. After I took the final picture of the chips I added more ketchup as they weren't quite right.
