KYLIE JENNER LIP KIT.

The Kylie Jenner Lip Kits are growing ever popular, especially at first when there was next to no stock available. The Lip Kit consists of a liquid lipstick and a matching liner, and I love a good lip liner so this was an important part of the kit for me.

I managed to get my hands on Candy K which is a gorgeous nude colour - I was expecting a more pink nude, however it dries as a more brown toned nude which isn't a problem as I still like those kinds of colours.

Like any lip product I wear, I always use a lip balm before applying - liquid lipsticks are notoriously drying so keeping my lips hydrated is key. I also top up with a lip balm throughout the day if I feel as though my lips are drying out.

I absolutely love the formula of Candy K, although slightly drying (as with any liquid lipstick), it's long lasting and really pigmented. I also love the lip liner and frequently wear it alone! Well worth the money, although the customs charges were disappointing! I look forward to trying some more colours, hopefully a pink and a red next time!

NIP + FAB VIPER VENOM MICRO BLUR FIX.

Anyone that knows me should know of my love for Nip + Fab skincare, but I've recently discovered something new of theirs, the Viper Venom Micro Blur Fix which is essentially a primer. It's one of Kylie Jenner's favourites and anything that's okay for her is definitely okay for me! I absolutely love the scent, and the texture of this product!

I use my hands to apply this, starting in the centre of the face and working outwards. The Viper Venom Micro Blur Fix contains Aesthetic Enhancing Polymers which give a soft focus effect to the skin, and help to reduce the effects of oily skin. It also contains Syn-ake Dipeptides which smooth the skins surface, and Liftonin which reduces the visual appearance of pores - this formula completely changes the appearance of the skin in one application.

I'm not usually a fan of a matte finish, or even a fan of primers that smooth the appearance of the skin but there's definitely something about this product that makes me love it. After application I've even noticed a certain sticky texture to my skin which means that it's really going to make my makeup stick to my face and it does!

This primer has definitely changed my opinion and I'm looking forward to using the entire bottle! Anyone else a Nip + Fab fan? I couldn't live without it!

NIP + FAB DRAGONS BLOOD HYALURONIC SHOT.

When I first saw that Nip + Fab were bringing out a facial oil I knew I had to try it - I think it's the word 'hyaluronic', it gets me excited! When I saw it was a Superdrug exclusive I began scouring every Superdrug I passed, to no avail. I couldn't find it anywhere and I had to have it! When I finally got it, I was so excited to use it - so excited I took it on holiday with me!

The Nip + Fab Dragons Blood Hyaluronic Shot is designed to rescue thirsty, dehydrated skin. It's an intense moisture concentrate which you can apply directly to the skin as an overnight treatment or you can mix a couple of drops with your daily moisturiser to give that extra shot of hydration. I've used mine both ways, and I think I definitely favour applying directly to the skin as I feel that it gives my skin the hydration it needs after a long day at work - I really like to pamper my skin in the evening as I wear a lot of make up during the day.

I love the texture of this product and it's rapidly becoming one of my favourite Nip + Fab products - I think it's safe to say I'm obsessed, especially with the Dragons Blood range (the serum is my favourite) - using Dragons Blood comforts and restores hydration in the skin, but it also makes me sound like I'm from Game of Thrones or something similar.

If you haven't tried this yet then dig through six Superdrugs until you find it like I did. Then let me know what you think. 

*Small Disclaimer - you can find this in a few other places, however Superdrug has the best price*

WHAT'S IN MY HOLIDAY MAKE UP BAG?

A  holiday make up bag is probably one of the hardest but most fun to pack - not only do you have to take the hotter climate into account, you have to pack enough to last and create as many different looks as necessary. I tried to pack a compact make up bag, and of course, being the over packer that I am, I packed far too much and didn't use half of it!

For a base, I used the Nip + Fab Viper Venom Micro Blur Fix - a mattifying gel primer which smooths the skin - I fell in love with this so look out for a post on this soon! Of course I packed a foundation but never ended up using it - so I used the Vichy Normaderm BB Cream - again something I'd never used but utterly fell in love with. I only used a small amount for the first few days as I ended up getting a lot browner than anticipated. Eventually I was only using the Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer - definitely a lot better than I expected. I only used this under the eyes to brighten and blended with a Beauty Blender.

I packed my Benefit Cheekathon Palette to use for blusher and bronzer - this palette is incredible and holds five full size blushers including the infamous Hoola bronzer, Dallas, Dandelion, Coralista and Rockateur. I usually religiously apply Hoola as a transition shade through the crease so this was a must have for me to take with me. My choices of blusher varied from night to night but most nights I used Rockateur or Coralista as they complimented my ever growing suntan the most.

For highlighter there was one choice only and that was the Urban Decay Naked Illuminated in Luminous - I saw it and utterly fell in love, and the gorgeous glittery highlighter is a must for any holiday. It's amazing on the cheekbones and collarbones too!

I mainly focused on eye make up as I wasn't wearing a lot of base due to the fact it wasn't particularly necessary - I packed a couple of Clinique Pop Shadows - Cream Pop and Petal Pop which are two beautiful shimmery shades, one gold tone and one pink tone. I also packed two palettes - one used more than the other and they were the Maybelline Nudes Palettes. I used the darker matte shades to create smokey eye looks each evening. I even used cool tone shades which I never usually do - I'm much more of a brown shadow girl! I lined my upper lids using Benefit's They're Real Push Up Liner as it's a highly pigmented black liner that doesn't smudge, and of course because I wasn't wearing a lot of make up the liner really helped to finish the look. I finished by curling my eyelashes and applied a generous coating of the L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara which I was apprehensive to try but it's one of the best drugstore mascaras I've ever tried.

Brows really help to frame the face and I've been using Benefit's Ka-Brow! which is 24 hour waterproof wear so perfect for those warm summer nights abroad - I set with Benefit's Ready Set Brow and used Benefit's High Brow (again, there really is nowhere else to go for brow product) to carve out the brow and highlight the browbone.

Finishing off with lip product, I hardly used any and packed loads. I used the Kylie Cosmetics Candy K Lipliner, and the Kylie Cosmetics Lipgloss in So Cute as I love that browny nude colouring. I also used Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lipliner in Pillow Talk as it's a gorgeous natural pink colour.

Admittedly, I'd packed a lot more than this but hardly used it - it's definitely a learning curve packing your holiday make up - I think I just got over excited!

What are your holiday make up must haves?

NIP + FAB VIPER VENOM EYE FIX

I've never been an avid eye cream user, and we can blame that on laziness - I don't mind. I can also blame that on the fact that I've yet to find one that I absolutely love, or one that makes a huge difference. With that being said, there's not a lot of difference to make. I'm quite proud of my under eye area if I do say so myself.

So - the eyes. The eye area is delicate and is ten times thinner than the rest of the face. Due to the fact that the skin is thinner, dark circles (or a lack of hydration) is more likely to show there than anywhere else. Your eyes do an average of 10,000 movements a day - isn't that crazy! Meaning that we should all start to look after our eyes - whether you can see problems there or not.

This Nip + Fab Viper Venom Eye Fix is a refreshing eye gel in a roll on style - the cooling applicator helps to reduce puffiness, the Liftonin helps to minimise wrinkles (yes, it's anti-aging) and the Syn-ake (inspired by the potent effect of venom from the Temple Viper) smoothes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This also contains Red Algae Extract which reduces the look of dark circles for a radiance boosting effect.

I can safely say I'm enjoying using this eye gel - although I haven't seen dramatic changes, I have noticed that my under eye concealer doesn't crease as much since I've started using this - meaning that any fine lines I did have are starting to be smoothed out!

Help me complete my quest to find the perfect eye cream - what are your favourites?

BENEFIT COSMETICS: THEY'RE REAL BIG SEXY LIP KIT.

The Benefit They're Real Big Sexy Lip Kit is a recent addition to my make up collection and I'm absolutely loving it - it contains four all in one lipstick and lip liners! For any avid Benefit fans, we all know that colour is exciting - and nothing comes more exciting than this lip kit!

This double the lip set creates visibly fuller looking lips in one easy step and that is down to the custom teardrop shape of the lipstick. The teardrop grabs and defines your lip line and fills in with beautiful colour! The top third is a darker colour - that part acts as the lip liner! Use the tear drop upwards on the top lip, and upside down on the bottom lip - it really is that easy!

The lipsticks come in four colours; Flame Game which is a gorgeous coral, Pink Thrills which is a beautiful bright pink, Revved-Up Red which is a bright red, and Lusty Rose which is my favourite, and is a natural rose toned pink.

They are super easy to apply and super long lasting for up to eight hours! For £24.50 that works out as £6.13 per lipstick - bargain!

These guys have only been out for a couple of weeks and are only available to buy as a set - get out there and get them, or regret it!
