Natural flawless holiday skin

I recently went to tenerife and i thought I would share with you what makeup I wore of a night time. I wanted a natural look ,as I think a lot of makeup would just personally slide of my face and make me look like a grease ball


The first thing I used was the smashbox photo finish primer ,in your usual shop it's £25. I got mine of the plane so it had no tax on which made it about £23 then the women kindly told me there was 20% off on top ,so I got it for about £18 I hope my maths is right haha 
Now I heard so many people say it's amazing ,and way better than pore professional. So I got it and I literally used it every night on my holiday ,It's bloody brilliant! It makes your skin look 100 times more flawless. I couldn't believe it when i first used it ,I never really bothered with a primer before and I can defiantly see a difference now by using this one. My only problem is that it says it is none greasy/oily ,and I did go extremely oily I don't think the primer is to blame for this it may of been the heat on holiday. So just beware!



After I applied my primer I used the garnier bb cream for oily skin, now I don't have oily skin. I just heard so many youtubers say how the oily one is a lot better coverage than the dry one. I haven't tried the dry one but this stuff is heaven! I got it from boots for £9.99
Now I was really debating at the time what colour to get because of me going on holiday ,I was obviously going to tan and I didn't want to have a really pale face and look stupid .So I went for medium! It's a perfect match and literally makes your skin look so gorgeous and fresh looking. The coverage is unbelievable for a bb cream ,it's just like a foundation! Couldn't believe it! The best thing is you can't feel it on your skin which makes you feel like you're not wearing a heavy foundation. This may be due to the very runny formula (slides down your hand like water) don't get put off! I've been using it every night and ever since I got back and I still have loads left. I defiantly have been impressed by this and I am not going back to my foundations for a long time! 
After my bb cream I applied my Mac Prolong wear concealer ,I've had this quite a long time now ,and I must say I went off it for a bit as I thought it broke me out but I've gone back to it and it's been fine! It's £17 (I think the prices have gone up ,I swear it used to be £15) oh well defiantly worth the price!
I used the tiniest abit of this just under my eyes it's so hard to control. It's gets me so angry even half a pump is too much! I end up giving some to my mom. Now I only used a little bit because it is so full coverage I didn't want to look to heavy on holiday ,but seriously this stuff is great. It blends amazingly ahh can't describe it unlike some concealers it doesn't dry so fast so it just blends into your skin like a dream. If you are thinking of getting it ,I would defiantly!

Another bargain on the plane was the benefit mascara I've used this so many times before and its generally its the best mascara I've ever used! Obviously in boots etc it's £19.50 on the plane with no tax it was about £16 and then with the 20% off on top it was about £12! Which is fab ,love a good bargain!
You've all probably heard about this and tried it ,so you'll know how amazing it is! Lengths your lashes like no other mascara ,I've been using the loreal telescopic mascara and it doesn't even live up anywhere near like the benefit one! If you haven't tried it you defiantly should you won't go back to any other mascara after.

My last thing is the bourjois rouge edition velvet lipstick at £8.99!
Mines in the colour ole flamingo ,it's a dark pink colour. It's a matte formula which was really unusual because it looks like a lipgloss. It's gorgeous though ,I especially loved it on holiday ,it makes you look even more tanned and makes your teeth look so white due to it being so bright. It stays on all day it's incredible it doesn't budge at all ,it's actually hard to get off sometimes leaves a stained colour behind. But I can't wait to get more of this range!

I do realise I haven't wrote a post for ages ,it's probably been months I'm sorry, I just didn't have the motivation to write any but I do now hence why I'm back ,hope you enjoyed it!
