My Mac Quad



Lately I have been getting fed up of having to carry around my big pro palette so I decided to go into mac and get the Quad pro palette. I find it so much easier for travelling having a quad instead of carrying around 15 eye shadows when I'm probably only going to use 3 or 4 of them.



The colours I have in my quad are Orb, All That Glitters, Omega and Mulch. As you can see Orb and Omega are matte. I like to use Orb as a base colour or as a highlight on my brow bone or in the inner corner of my eye, I really like orb because it isn't too much of an intense highlight but it still does the job. I use Omega to fill in my brows, it comes in really handy being able to have my brow colour in with my eye shadows because then it's one less product for me to have to have in my makeup bag.  The next two colours have a little bit of simmer/glitter in them. All That Glitters is probably one of my all time favourite MAC shades, well I think everyone loves it! It is just really simple, you can just put it all over your eye and then you are done! But say if you want a bit more definition you could add Mulch into the crease or outer corner of the eye to make it more smokey. Also Mulch is a really nice shade to put all over the eye lid and then smoke it out at the edges, it works really well for a simple and quick smokey eye.


I feel as if this is the perfect quad for me, it makes it so much easier having my eyeshadows in one place and in such a compact way. It's the perfect size when travelling and for my make up bag!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Range


I have always loved the body shop as a brand, but until a few months ago I had not tried any of their Tea Tree range. Lately my skin has been struggling with breakouts, so I wanted to try something that is affordable but is also going to work. Even though my skin suffers from breakouts and can be oily sometimes I have to be very careful because I have extremely sensitive skin. 

I wanted to try products that had tea tree in them because I know that tea tree is really good for your skin. I was watching a youtube video of somebody's skin care routine and they were using the body shop tea tree toner and had said that it had improved their skin a lot, so the next time I went into town I made my way to the body shop to get this toner!


I normally find that toners can be harsh on my skin and that when I put them on the tend to sting a little bit but I didn't have that problem with this toner. This toner is really affordable as it is only £5. I am now on my second bottle of this and I have really been enjoying using this in my skin care routine.


By using the tea tree toner my skin was starting to clear up, so i decided to try a couple of tea tree cleansers. 

The first one the tried was the Cool & Creamy Wash this claims to " Get skin spotlessly clean without over drying" and I would say it does that it didn't get rid of all of my spots but it certainly helped to clear my skin up. It also didn't dry my skin out which I was worried about because sometimes tea tree can do that to your skin. The Cool & Creamy Wash is £5 as well so this is also really affordable.

The other cleanser that I have tried is the Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser, and I have to say that this one is my favourite out of the two. Personally I prefer a cleanser that foams up but thats just what I like.  This Cleanser says that is is suitable for blemished skin, sometimes cleansers can sting a little if you do have blemished skin, but this one doesn't sting at all. It also claims to "remove impurities and excess oil, for clearer looking skin." This makes my skin less oily and has really helped making my skin look a lot clearer. 

I really like using a tea tree face cleanser because it makes you feel really refreshed once you have used it.

 In the summer I never really want to wear a full coverage foundation as they are so heavy on the skin, but this year I discovered this after watching one of Zoella's videos and she used this. Ever since I got the Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream I have used it everyday. It has just even coverage to cover any blemishes and dark circles, it is lovely and light on the skin and it doesn't really look like you have anything on. As this had tea tree in it as well it is also good for your skin. 

I have it in the shade 01 and this is the perfect shade for me. The shade range isn't too great as it only comes in 3 shades, but it is a new product so I'm sure they will bring out some more shades. This is also very affordable as it is £8 which I think is very reasonable for a really good BB cream!
