Budget makeup review ! 💜

Hey ladies , 
So I posted a pic yesterday of the budget buys I got from differnt makeup brands in our everyday shops ! 
Today I have done my makeup using the products and my thoughts on them are as follows ..


Seventeen smoulder gel eyeliner €7 (Boots)
8/10 
I love this eyeliner ! It's a good colour , stays well , easy to apply & is a great sized product for the price. 
The only thing that let's it down is I think the formula is a tiny bit thick but other that that totally a thumbs up for this product 😊

Seventeen instant glow brick €7
7/10 (Boots) 
Again very impressed with this shimmer pallet from seventeen , this is a great multi purpose products with dual use of either a powder highlight or a eyeshadow !
The only let down to this products is that it is very shimmery and would of been perfect if it was just a tiny bit more matte ! But other than that I love it !  

Wet n wild lipstick in cherrybomb 
€3 (penny's)
1/10
I was so excited about this lipstick as I adored the colour & have been left so disappointed !! 
I really did not like this lipstick at all . The formula is horrible , thick stiff & very drying to your lips . The colour did not stay well at all nd left my lips looking flakey and ugly ! Defo Will not buy one again .

Revlon colour stay liquid foundation in natural tan €18(Boots) 
I was very uneasy about buying this foundation as I always use  my 2 baby's ( MAC studio fix fluid/ sculpt cosmetics liquid foundation) but have been pleasantly surprised !! 
I really like it , I think it's a great full coverage foundation that worked very well on my skin (combination skin ). The foundation really lasted all day and did not budge when set with a good powder . 
Downsides to this product was 
I found the natural tan colour abit to warm which I didn't like & the formula is very thick in consistency & drys quickly which means you have to work very quick when applying to get an even coverage. 
All in all I would defo recommend this foundation & will buy again just maybe in a differnt shade !

Winter boots ! 💜

So it's that time of year again .. Winter boots !! 

I love boots & I but new ones every year ! 
A good pair of boots will carry me threw all the winter months & I just love them.

This year I have bought a zanni & Co pair from The master Shoe in Ballybofey. 
At €69:99 there a great price and a great buy ! 
I decided on the tan colour to go with most outfits as it's very versatile. 
And choose a small wedge heel for every day comfort . 
Also the elastic in the boot makes them more stretchy for ladies with wider calves like myself !! Lol  

I'm also IN LOVE with these black leather knee high boots from river island ! 
I just love the embellished bit around the bottom & they also look super comfy ! But with a price tag of €180 I just don't think I would personally get much wear out of a black boot as I prefare browns or greys ! 

Another pair that I am going to buy are there's burgundy colour "worker boots" that are bang on trend & I just love the colour for this time of year ! 

And of your feeling a little adventurous how CUTE are this little white ankle boots from new look ??
