It is probably one of the most debated questions in the blogesphere? High end or High Street??? Do you get what you pay for or are you just paying for a name.
When it comes to both beauty and fashion, I have always very much been on the side of the high street. Maybe it is because I don't live in a town where high end stores are widely available... we have no Mac, no Illamasqua, no Nars! So I have always used high street and drug store products when it came to beauty. The same could be said for Fashion, even the stores we have here are very limited - roll on the new shopping centre being built!
Only recently over the past couple of years did I start to add a few High end products into my make up collection with a few benefit products and then a few Mac products but I made sure that before splashing out on these products I did a hell of a lot reading up about what products to pick up.
More and more we see the introduction of dupes for the high end products appearing in the market. Clinique the chubby sticks and Revlon were not far behind with their own offering, Maybelline brought out their 24 colour tattoo pots to rival Mac paint pots and even recently they brought out their Baby Skin Pore eraser - a dupe for Benefits Porefessional.
So do you really get what you pay for when it comes to high end beauty products. There are certain products in my make up box that I wouldn't dream of going to high end. I love the Rimmel stay matte powder and wouldn't even think about spending more than the £5 on a powder. However I have to say I am totally in love with the high end eye shadows which I have in my collection - I really love my Urban Decay palettes (Now 1, 2 and 3) and find the colour pay off on these is brilliant, as with the Mac eye shadows. Now that I have discovered the Maybelline Baby Skin I would think twice about buying the Benefit Porefessional but I wouldn't be without my Benefit Hoola Bronzer.
I think high end vs high street is always going to be one of those debates that will forever go on! There is always going to be those who love the high end and those who stick to the high street. For me I like to think that I lie somewhere in the middle. I think it is about finding the perfect balance for yourself.
What do you think? Which end of the scale do you sit on? Which High Street and High end products could you not live without??

I love a good eye shadow particularly one that claims it can stay around all day. A lot of my week or the latter half is taken up with work in the day and activities at night time (Guide leader on a wednesday, slimming world on a thursday and choir practice on a friday) and there is nothing worse than an eye shadow that come half past 5 when I get in from work is not longer there.
Cue the Maybelline 24 hour colour tattoo eye shadows. They retail at a good budget happy price of £4.99 and are available in 9 colours. A creme eye shadow many say they are a good budget dupe of the Mac Paint pots.

Top - Pink Gold, Eternal Siver, Lavish Lavender
Bottom - Endless Purple, Eternal Purple, Too Cool
I am not going to lie, since I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago, I have added another 2 to my collection with On and on bronze and Metallic Pomegranate. Now you may notice in the top picture that that the 2 on the far right have a different coloured lid. These 2 I picked up in Florida while I was on holiday in May.
As you can probably tell, I really lovely these little beauties. I find that they stay on my eyes all day without any creasing which seems to be the main problem I tend to find with eye shadows if I dont use a primer. They blend well with the other powder shadows in my collection. I particularly love the on and on bronze which works well with the colours in my Naked palette and I love the Pink Gold and Pomegranate ones which blend really well together. I also find the pigmentation of these as they are bright enough to wear on their own for a simple day look too.
These creme shadows in my opinion are up there with the high end products such as the Mac paint pots. I have a Mac paint pot in Bare study which I love the formulation of and these are up there with that but you could buy nearly 3 of these for the price of one of paint pots. I also love that they do a fab colour range, there is pretty much a colour for everyone to love. However I do hope they continue to extend the range some more :)
These will definitely be sticking around in my make up collection for a while :D
Maybelline are kicking some serious drug store butt at the moment! They have has some epic make up releases in 2012 and seem to be fast becoming a staple in my make up bag.
Queue the master drama eye liner pencils. I love a good coloured eye liner pencils. I think it adds a bit of pop to a simple make up look and can add a bit of colour without being too over the top. I was interested in these pencils the minute they came out. I picked up the purple and the teal one but they also do a goldy shade, a pink magenta one but I didn't fancy either of these. These retail for £4.49 and are available in Boots, Superdrugs - the usual places that sell Maybelline.
The consistency of these is not like any other pencil I have tried before. It is a creme consistency rather than a typical pencil which sometimes I find can drag on your eyes. These I love! They glide on easily and the colour pigmentation is amazing!
Here you can see them swatched on the back on my hand. I love both of these. I have been looking for a purple shade like this for ages! And this teal is the perfect colour to replace my old collection 2000 one which I used to love.
I really hope that Maybelline continue this range and bring out some more colours. I am half tempted to give the gold one a try for a night out with a bit of black but I cant bring myself to try the magenta one. I would love to see a brown and black one in these though, just because the consistency is so amazing!

I cant actually believe that it is September and I thought I would share with you what I have been loving during the month of August! I dont want to go into a lot of detail about each product as I have lots of individual posts coming up about my favourites over the next couple of weeks but I will give you a quick overview.
Benefit Erase Paste - £19.50
I am a massive fan of this concealer - I think even more than my Fake me. There is just something about the formula about this one compared to the Fake up that I love and I can see that it is going to last for ageeees!!!!
Its a 10 miracle leave in product - $17
I picked this up when I was in Florida and it has become my holy grail hair product. I am sad it is slowly getting empty :(
Maybeline Chromatics Eyeliner - £4.49
I was so excited when these came out. I love coloured eye liner pencils and these have become a staple in my summer make up routine.
Maybeline Colour Tattoos - £4.99
I have slowly fallen in love with these (and have since added another 2 to my collection since I took these pictures) - they are perfect for a sweep of colour for a simple summer look.
Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturiser - £4.99
This is one product I have already blogged about my love for here - I really love this it is an awesome product and a definite for my cupboard and gym bag!
No 7 Mineral Perfection Powder - £13.50
I picked this up when No7 had their awesome vouchers about and was £10.50 - I wanted to try a powder foundation for the Summer and I picked this up when I came back from Florida and have been using it ever since. This I believe could be considered a more affordable alternative to Bare Minerals.
Lush Ultrabalm - £8.50
Again another holy grail summer product! I think this is something that needs to grace every girls dressing table, particularly us ladies that struggle with the summer problem of warm weather and fat thighs.
And those are some of my August Favourites. I have been loving so many products over the Summer. Coloured lips and funky nails also featured highly in my summer appearance but I didnt want to bore you with too many products :)
I am excited for the autumn. I love autuminal colours (purples, greys, reds) and am looking forward to snuggly jumpers and boots but hopefully we can stretch this last bit of summer out for a little bit longer :)

If you follow a lot of beauty blogs online, I am sure that this product will not be something new that you will have seen. Baby lips are a recently released product here in the UK, I saw them over in the US when I was there and for some reason I did not pick any up, however I couldnt resist picking them up in Boots when I saw them, especially as they were on 3 for 2.
Basically these are like a lip balm. Each of them offers a different flavour or product offer. Some are designed to hydrate the lips more than others however all of them offer an 8 hour hydration.
The ones that I picked up are the Cherry (which smells FANTASTIC), Intensive Care and Pink Punch. So far so good with these. I love that the Cherry one offers a hint of colour. I haven't really used the other 2 very much yet but I am really loving these. They are perfect to keep in your handbag or on your desk at work and they look pretty compared to a regular lip balm. I wouldn't say that they can offer an 8 hour protection for lips but then again how many of us can say that they go 8 hours without reapplying it? I know I always have something like this handy for putting on.
Baby lips are available from Boots and are currently on 3 for 2 (link)

I have been doing soooo well with not buying any make up bits but when I went into town there were a couple of things I wanted/needed to pick up.
Tony and Guy Salt Spray 75ml - £2.19
L'Oreal Ever Sleek Shampoo - £5.99 - Boots - Currently £3.99
Turbie Hair Towel - £1 - Wilkinsons
MUA Brozer (Shade 2) - £1 - Superdrugs
Maybeline Concealer - £6.19 - Boots
Maybeline Chromatics Eyeliner in Teal - £4.49 - Boots
Maybeline Chromatics Eyeliner in Purple - £4.49 - Superdrug
Maybeline 24 hour colour tattoo in Pink Gold - £4.99 - Boots
Umberto Gianni Silky Curls Smoothing Balm - Boots
Umberto Gianni 3 day frizz free spray - Boots
Umberto Gianni 2 for £8 at Boots
Maybeline currently 3 for 2 in Boots
I was desperate for a new concealer and when I went into Boots I spotted the Maybeline stuff on 3 for 2. I had seen the new Maybeliene Chromatics eye liners and I was particularly in love with the Teal one - I have a collection one which I love but is nearly running out. I decided to pick up the 3 for 2 and the Teal eyeliner and Maybeline's 24 hour concealer fell into my basket. I also decided to pick up (another) one of the 24 hour colour tattoos in Pink Gold. I love these and have been wearing these quite a lot especially in the hot weather as they stay put. I have been lusting after this colour for a few weeks. I also picked up the Purple eyeliner too as I loved the colour of it. I picked this up from Superdrugs as they didnt have it in Boots.
A couple of the other things I picked up are just standard things I needed. I spotted the shampoo on offer and thought I would give it a worth. The hot weather had been making my hair particularly frizzy atm so i picked up the one for Frizzy Hair.
The little salt spray I picked up from Boots is for my gym bag. I took this on holiday and really like it so I figured I would pick another one up to use on my hair post shower at the gym.
I will keep you updated on how I am loving the products. I wore the teal eyeliner yesterday and I can say I am already loving it. I can definitely see this is going to be a staple in my make up bag.
Have you tried any of these new products? What are you loving?
Naughty Naughty Boots! I popped into town today and I picked up a few things that I had my eyes on - new releases that I had seen around the blogesphere over the last couple of weeks. Quite a few of them were nail polishes which as you know is my complete weakness!
On going past the Bourjois stand I noticed they had the new Rouge lipsticks with £2 off making them £5.99. I recently started to get into lip products since companies started to make them more moisturising.3 of the shades drew me in, shade number 4 - Rose tweed, shade number 7 -Fuchsia Graffiti and shade number 18 - Voline Strass
I love these. I tried a couple of them this afternoon. They feel very soft on your lips and the colour stays around for ages which I definately love in a lipstick as there is nothing worse if you have to keep applying it every 5 minutes. The packaging also looks swish and expensive and I love the ends where you can see the colour without having to open it :)
Lastly I nipped into Argos and picked up a set of curling irons. If you follow me on instagram you will have seen the picture of my hair when I went out with the girls from work.
To achieve this I used a my curling wand which I have had a couple of years now and makes an appearance every now and again. However I find it really fiddly to do myself and my mum always ends up doing it for me. I was really happy with now my hair looked last night and want to start doing my hair like this more often and I figured it would be easier to using curling irons that a wand. The wand I picked up was the Essentials professional ceramic hair tong which i got for £14.99 from Argos. I will keep you updated as to how much I loving these.
Maybeline Colour Show Polish in Sugar Crystals - £2.99
Maybeline Colour Show Polish in Wine Shimmer - £2.99
Barry M Gelly Polish in Lychee - £3.99
L'Oreal Top Coat in Diamond Lurex - £4.99
L'Oreal Top Coat in Confettis - £4.99
Barry M Gelly Polish in Greenberry - £3.99
Barry M Gelly Polish in Papya - £3.99
Boots have some good offers at the moment - The Barry M Polishes were £1 off when you buy 2, they also have a lot of the brands on 3 for 2 including L'Oreal. I had seen the Confettis top coat on Gemma at Gemsmaquillage instagram.
As they were 3 for 2 I decided to pick up a new eye liner too and I had seen the super liner knocking around on the blogs too.
I love my current eye liner that I am using but I don't think its got much life left in it so I decided to pick this one up as I love this type of liner. I picked it up in intense black. I will keep you update on what I think of this one.On going past the Bourjois stand I noticed they had the new Rouge lipsticks with £2 off making them £5.99. I recently started to get into lip products since companies started to make them more moisturising.3 of the shades drew me in, shade number 4 - Rose tweed, shade number 7 -Fuchsia Graffiti and shade number 18 - Voline Strass

As I start using these bits I will let you know what I am loving. I can already tell you that I am loving the Barry M Gelly Polish in Lychee as I have sat and painted my nails with it this afternoon so keep your eyes peeled for a NOTD coming up this week.
I seem to have purchased a lot of things lately which I have not shared with you girlies. I got some of this stuff in London last weekend and some of the stuff this weekend when I went shopping with my mum.
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Starter Kit - £14.25 - John Lewis - I have been desperate to try this for ages but was put off by the price. I decided to take the plunge when I went to London and just get it... I am so glad I did as I love it - will post a seperate review on this.
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW foundation - £ - Benefit @ Debenhams - She used this foundation when I had the make up session yesterday and I loved it... Plus it has 10% off. It seemed like a small amount of this went a long way.
Benefit Bad lash mascara and liner duo - £20.50 - Benefit @ Debenhams - I spotted this yesterday, I have tried the bad gal lash mascara before and really enjoyed it so I thought I would give this a go as it was a bargain!
Lee Stafford Hot Shots 4 Blondes - £ - Boots - I got these when the Lee Stafford products were on 3 for £12 in Boots. I felt like the highlights I had put in my hair were too blonde and brassy so I thought I would give these a try. I have used a whole sachet (you get 4) over 2 weeks and it has knocked the brassy right out of my hair.
Lush Shower Gels - £3.75 - £4.25 - Lush - I know the snowflake is very popular amongst the bloggers of the world and I wanted to give it a whirl. I also thought I would try the Twilight, I am enjoying both of them although I prefer the Snowflake.
Illamasqua Pigmant Eyeshadow in Beguile - £15.50 - Illamasqua @ Selfridges - If you follow sprinkle of glitter (here) you will know how much she loves this product. I have wanted it for ages but I wanted to see it in person and when we went to London last week I got that chance. I havent used it yet but I can already tell I am going to love it!
OPI Polishes - All about minnie & You only live twice - £11.00 - John Lewis - I tried to resist the OPI stand and couldnt. These were so lovely. The All about Minnie is from the Minnie Mouse collection and You only live twice is from the James Bond Skyfall collection.
The bottom left is some boots purchases yesterday. They include the Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker lip pencils in Fuscha and Plum (£8), The soap and Glory under eye concealer (£9) - these are on 3 for 2. L'Oreal super liner (£9.99), a L'Oreal eyeshadow in plum (£5.99) and the purple and gold Maybeline 24 tattoo cream shadows (£4.99). There are some fab offers on in Boots at the moment.
I am excited to try a lot of these products, I have started using some already which I am loving and cant wait to share what I think with you. Look out for them coming up soon.

Hey Ladies!
If you remember last week when I went to town with my friend I picked up a Maybeline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner for £4.99 from Superdrugs.
I started just before christmas experimenting with lines on top of my lid and little flicks and was using a L'oreal liquid eye liner which I loved. I also love the Collection 2000 felt pen eye liner but I have heard quite a lot about Gel Eye Liners and had quite wanted to try it so when I saw this on offer in Superdrugs I couldnt resist.
I have to say I am in LOVE with the Eye Liner. It comes in a little pot which I thinks makes it look so expensive and comes with a thin brush. Now the idea of putting eye liner on with a brush seemed quite strange but I have to say it goes on so easily!!!
I have tried my very best to get a nice picture of it on but its just not happening. But let me assure you it goes on lovely.
Has anyone else tried this or any other Gel Eye Liners? What did you think?

Today I went into town to meet up with my friend and her gorgeous little girl for a spot of lunch. I had my eye on a few things I wanted to get that were on offer and also made a couple spur of the moment purchases :)
Maybeline Gel Eye Liner - £4.99 from Superdrugs. I keep experimenting with winged liner looks and I have heard that gel liners are quite good. And at £4.99 instead of £7.99 I thought I would give it a try.
Nail Wraps - Now there have been a lot of these floating round over the last few months but most of them retail at around £6 which I think is really expensive considering that you only get about 2 lots out of them. This one contains 16 wraps and was 79p from Home Bargains!!! I couldnt help but get these - I mean what a bargain. I was a bit confused as to why there are 16? I mean if you want 2 lots out of them then you would need 20? However I am going to just put them on my ring finger with Models own gold rush on the others (will share a photo when I have done them)
Revlon Luscious Grow Mascara - According to Revlons description this Mascara is "A multi-benefit mascara and lash enhancer that gives instantly longer and fuller lashes while helping them to grow stronger with each use". Now I have quite lovely lashes anyway but recently I have noticed a gap in my lashes which has appeared and I cant resist anything that says it can make lush lashes so thought I would give it a go.
Eye Lash Curlers - 99p again from Home Bargains. Helping with the lush lashes. My other ones had become all clogged up and since I couldnt get hold of the refil bit for 99p and pink I thought why not.
I will update you on the Eye Liner, Nail wraps and Mascara and what I think of them :)

This one contains 16 wraps and was 79p from Home Bargains!!! I couldnt help but get these - I mean what a bargain. I was a bit confused as to why there are 16? I mean if you want 2 lots out of them then you would need 20? However I am going to just put them on my ring finger with Models own gold rush on the others (will share a photo when I have done them)
Revlon Luscious Grow Mascara - According to Revlons description this Mascara is "A multi-benefit mascara and lash enhancer that gives instantly longer and fuller lashes while helping them to grow stronger with each use". Now I have quite lovely lashes anyway but recently I have noticed a gap in my lashes which has appeared and I cant resist anything that says it can make lush lashes so thought I would give it a go.
Eye Lash Curlers - 99p again from Home Bargains. Helping with the lush lashes. My other ones had become all clogged up and since I couldnt get hold of the refil bit for 99p and pink I thought why not.
I will update you on the Eye Liner, Nail wraps and Mascara and what I think of them :)
