My Highend Skincare & Bodycare collection

Hey everyone! 

Here's round 2 of my highend collection, my skincare and Bodycare collection. I don't own as much bath and body as I do makeup and most of it I get from subscription boxes but I'm not complaining. I do love my skincare and I love trying out different types. My skin type is combination/oily but mostly oily. I find that my skin likes emolient products during the nighttime and lighter products during the day. I also love a good mud mask! Anyways on to the highend skincare.

Cleansers/makeup removers:

Ren Clarimatte Cleansing Gel- I love this cleanser in the morning as a facial wash. Not rough and doesn't dry out my skin. 

BeautyLab Glycowash- I haven't tried this yet, going through others first. 

Clinique Rinse off Eye makeup remover- Beautiful product, one swipe and the product is gone. Almost finished this bottle for #14by14Feb.

Serums and Moisturisers:

Elizabeth Grant Supreme Essance of Torrcellumn- I recieved this in a bloggers box and I've actually really enjoyed it. Very light and soaks in easily. 

Nude Eye serum- not used this yet, will be started in the morning. 

InstaNaturals Retinol Serum- My nightime serum. It helped get rid of my Milla and has reduced spots! Love this but very very pricey. I recieved this product free for my honest review.

Ren Clarimatte Gel Creme- a very thin moisturiser, perfect for the day. A little goes a long way! 

Talika Photo-hydra- Very dissapionted in this product. I recieved it in my Glossybox and although I love a good moisturiser, it's barely got any product in it! 

Clinique moisturiser sample- I've tried this sample before and I love it. As with the ren sample, a little goes a long way. 

Body:

Nip+Fab Viper Venom Body Serum- I haven't tried this body lotion yet but I have used one before from nip+fab and I loved it! Sank in well and didn't make my skin oily.

Philosophy Snow Angel Body Scrub- I tried this today and the little scrubs in the product are not too harsh and it felt smooth to use. 

L'occaitane Almond Oil- I know this is a holy grail product for many and yet I have to see what like product is like. I don't believe that my skin likes oils so I may not be able to use this. 

Royal Apothic Cream Creme- This body Creme is lovely. I found that it rubbed in quite quickly and wasn't greasy at all. Just not worth the full amount. 

Others:

Nip+Fab Dragons Blood Cleansing Pads- I actually forgot to add this into my cleanser section so it's here. I've nearly finished these up and to be honest I haven't found a difference in my skin. They do take off makeup traces though. 

GlamGlow- I have only tried this product once and it did tingle and make my skin quite red afterwards. A good moisturiser is needed after use. 

InstaNaturals Dead Sea Mud Mask- I recently recieved this product to review and my post will be up soon! 

Dr Lipp Nipple Balm for lips- I actually use this balm for my cuticles and it's slowly becoming a holy grail. I know this isn't classed as high end really, but I think £11.50 is expensive for a lip balm! 

Crabtree & Evenlyn La Sorce hand cream- this is a very thick hand cream! It's very emolient but doesn't leave a greasy film afterwards. It doesn't work as well as my Soap & Glory though. 

I hope these mini reviews helped! I do like my highend but I would never buy anything full price.

My Highend Makeup collection

Hey everyone! 

So I thought I'd come at you with a second blog post today! Recently I've been thinking about how much higher end makeup I actually own and without doing this post, I didn't think I owned too much. Until I took these photos. I don't think I find high end makeup any better than the drugstore and until my budget can allow me to buy more high end, I'll stick with getting a few treats here and there. 

Lipticks and lipglosses:

Mac Viva Glam Rihanna- bought on ebay, love the colour when blotted

Too Faced Melted Nude- one of my favourite liquid lipsticks

Nars Valkyrie- only worn once, very drying 

Ysl Tint-in-oil- beautiful gloss, just dries quickly

Stila Glosses in Pout and Gleam- sticky gloss but can be used quickly in project pans

Christian Dior Limited Edition Tie Dye lipstick in 01 nude- beautiful colour, perfect for work! 

Bases and Foundation:

Emite Diamond Primer Sample- brand new and never used

Bare Minerals Prime Time in oil control and original- original doesn't work with my oily skin, oil control hasn't been used much

Eborian CC Cream- white cream which changes to your skin colour. Too dark for me. 

Estée Lauder Double Wear- perfect for my oily skin, had this since March and I use it a lot. A little goes a long way! 

Too Faced Bb cream- I wear this on my days off as it has a slight coverage but just enough. Quite orange in colour. 

Mac MSF (mineral skin finish) in light- I recieved this in a beauty box and haven't put it down since.

Tarte Marakuja Cheek Cream in nude- new product, not tested out yet. 

Stila Convertable Colour- perfect coverage with a stippling brush! 

Christian Dior Limited edition Tie dye blush in peach- I love this colour but am so scared to make a dent in that beautiful top! 

Nars Dual Intensity Blush- recently bought but loving the pale peach for everyday with a sheen. 

Mac mineralised blush in Dainty- a total holy grail product! I recently tried to hit pan but am so glad I haven't managed it! 

Eye Products:

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara- another holy grail product! Seperates my lashes and gives volume! 

Eyeko Blue Mascara- used once, but I don't like the tube it's in. Makes it very messy. 

Clinique Mascara- love using this, but as it's a small sample, I don't use it often so I can keep having it in my collection. 

Stila Smudge Crayon in Antique- again a product I've used once and found that it was rather copper in tone. 

Stila sparkle waterproof liquid eye liners in Bora Bora and Royal- I've actually used these once and although they are very glittery, the colour sticks and stays! 

Stila Stay all day Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Indigo- I love these eyeliners. They really do stay all day and the colour is very vivid. 

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliners in Black Amethyst, Tetra and Lionfish- again I don't have anything negative to say about these! They do stay in my water line all day! 

Stila Single eyeshadow in Pigalle- used once, but have to say they blend really well and although a dark shadow is not too dark. 

Eyeshadow Palettes:

Stila In the Moment Palette- beautiful shadows and combinations. Watch out for this palette next year! 

Smashbox Palette- used a few times, but holy pigmentation batman! Do they stain the skin. 

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette- as you can tell I love this palette to death. Currently the only palette I'm using. Very buttery and glide on well. 

The Balm Nude'tude palette- never used but swatched, lovely colours and a good all round colour scheme. 

Well that's everything highend I own and as you can tell from my mini reviews, I really need to use it! Next year I think I'm going to focus on using these and my next project pan I think will be a Stila themed as inspired by Glamour with Grace (on YouTube)'s all Mac project pan. I believe it would move out a good few products. If anyone is wondering most of this high end collection is bought at Tk Maxx reduced, especially Stila. 

I hope you enjoyed everyone! I may do a highend skincare post soon, would you enjoy that?
