Don't look at me facemask.

I've fallen head over heels in love with wait for it Don't look at me, wanted my Damien moment there. (Cue beautiful from Xtina there.) But this facemask is a thing of complete and utter beauty, granted when it's on you'll be blue dabadedabadie. It's full of murumuru butter and leaves your skin feeling silky soft and carries on working its magic after you've taken the mask off. There's  also lemon to tone the skin and neroli to brighten. My skin has never ever looked as good as it does since I've been using this little beauty and I don't think I'll ever stray away. 

You'll need to leave it for a good half an hour or at least until it's completely dry to get the complete benefits of this beauty so it's a very indulgent product so if you want a good in bath mask here's your treat. The first time I ever used it I only kept it on for ten minutes or so and I felt it didn't do a lot but the second time I tried it that was it was the best thing since sliced bread.  It's also very scrubby so gives you a bit of exfoliation too. I remove my mask with a warm damp flannel as it helps with the scrub. My skin looks and feels so much fresher and brighter when I've used this. With it being a fresh mask it lasts for 3 weeks at the price of £6.50. I got 4 full face masks out of one pot which I thought was pretty good going. 
I'm going back tomorrow to purchase another pot as I need some more in my life right now. 
Let me know if you've tried it if not you really should!

Skinnydip Simpsons Shake.

So if there's one thing I really love its novelty bags, they just give that pop of fun to every outfit. They're also a brilliant conversation starter. One of the best brands for these bags and probably my favourite is Skinnydip I really adore this brand, I've got quite a few of their bags and phonecases my current phone case being a chubby unicorn one I mean who doesn't love chubby unicorns? So imagine my absolute joy when I realised they were pairing up with my favourite cartoon The Simpsons. 
I couldn't not pick something up from the line (I could of gotten all of it.) I bought the Krusty Shake bag because who doesn't want a pink sparkly bag shaped like a cup. The bag itself is really quite spacious and only cost me £24 ( thank you 25% off student discount) it's such a cute, quirky and statement piece I can't wait to style it with my outfits. It has a gorgeous gold cross body strap and the cutest straw feature. I'm beyond excited to use this little beauty.  Skinnydip always do amazing quality products and are defiantly the go to brand for any novelty bag lovers. They're super quick with their postage all in all I love this brand and I love this bag.
 Lots of love

Berry lips Bandwagon.

I've been gone for a little bit I've been preparing for uni and so on, so I'm so sorry guys. But whilst I've been gone I've jumped on a very big bandwagon it's the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107. This is a very dark berry shade it's a red based berry shade though, now we all know that I'm a pasty pants so I've always shyed away from bold lips because it's something I didn't think would suit me. But as I stood in Superdrug staring intensely as this berry shade lipstick something came over me and just said buy it Leanne buy it now! So whatever that was I caved in and brought it but I was so glad I did, the first time I saw the colour was so queen Zoella on her it looked simply stunning. At £5.49 it wasn't an overly expensive gamble. As I've said before on my blog I adore the Kate Moss lipstick in 38 the formulation of them sits so well and they're extremely pigmented. However 107 is a matte shade but doesn't feel at all dry on the lips which is always a big worry for me as I have super dry lips. With being. Matte shade it's also super long wearing as it wears it gets more purpley when it's at its reddest it's my Snow White shade I adore it and it's defaintly going to be my autumn go to lipstick.
I promise I'll be back on my blog plan starting today pinky promise. Let me know of any lipsticks you think I should try.
Lots of love

One pound lipsticks to buy or to buy?

Firstly, here's my I'm sorry I abandoned you bit. I've been away for a week because well I've started YouTube http://youtu.be/qnHiid9yCr8 please come and say hi. I've been really focusing on that and forgotten about you and for that I'm truly sorry please forgive me. But let's start back with make up Monday. I, like most girls love a bargain once you've found a good one it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. ( I've never understood that saying but it's apt right now.) So I've been checking out some very budget lipsticks a pound each to be exact. I've done a bit of a superdrug splurge and bought 4 one pound lipsticks amoungest everything else I got. 
These are the shades I've picked up we have two from MUA and two from Make up Revolution. The top two are Make up Revolution and the bottom two are MUA.
  
What can I say about them? The lilac MUA one is matte and has really good staying power on the lips and doesn't feel dry result! I've been after a lilac lipstick for the longest time but one that doesn't make me look like a corpse because we all know I'm Caspers the friendly ghosts cousin trust me I'm that pale. This does the trick and does it well and for a pound well you can't go wrong. 
Downsides to this product number one-it takes a lot of layering to get the colour payoff, number two- the lipstick is starting to bend in the packaging because of how hard it is to get on and number three-I really dislike the packaging it looks cheap. But at a pound what can I expect? 
So would I repurchase this? Yes yes I would. 
My other MUA lipstick is in the Shade 11. This lipstick is the perfect autumnal colour for a pale girl. It's a deep brown but with red tones and it's so pretty on the lips it looks dark but not stupidly dark. It's so wearable I feel like screaming "where have you been all my life?!" This is super long wearing,a stunning shade, feels really moisturising on the lips and for a pound I will be getting many many more of this little beauty. Downsides for this are for a while you can feel it on your lips but once you're past that then you'll be super happy with this beauty even the packaging is more chic on the non matte lipsticks. 
Will I repurchase this? You can bet your bottom dollar I will. 

Now to the Make up Revolution lipsticks you all know my love for this brand I'd sing it from the rooftops if I could.
There lipsticks are no different the top one is called mystify which is a beautiful corally red shade with a shimmer it's stunning on and looks a lot more expensive than it is, as does shade 11. The packaging on the Make up revolution lipsticks is super sleek it's black with Rose gold lettering and it's just insert heart eyes emoji here. I have a love for Rose gold I don't know if you guys know.
This shade is a real winner in my eyes and I'd repurchase again for sure. Now as for cheer it's a pretty pastel pink with a silvery blue shimmer. Looks wise for me this shade is a winner I love a pink lip it's just so girly and sweet. Although this one has a few downsides it takes a lot to get a colour payoff and  the glitter feels slightly drying but it's nothing that can't be sorted my lipbalm though. So although it's not as stunning as mystify I'd buy it again. 
So my bargain hunting was a success everything I got was cheap as chips (I hope you get what I did there). I'll definitely be trying more from both of these brands lipstick wise because they're pretty great. 
Lots of love

My travel make up bag.

So it's supposed to be make up Monday again I had trouble uploading so sorry guys, time is really starting to flyby. I keep a make up bag in my bag all the time in case of an emergency and I thought I'd share what's in there with you so here we go.

First and for most my travel make up bag is the cutest. If you've read my July favourites I'm guessing you'll be noticing that I have a stash of Disney make up bags. It's a bad habit but hey they're cute. I carry this Little Mermaid Makeup bag everywhere because its oil cloth material for a start and if you're like me o spill stuff in my bag all the time, it's not to big but it's spacious enough for what I need it for and lastly it was only £2.50 from Primark so I don't mind if it gets bashed about. Now let's take a look inside shall we?
What a shock guys it's Make up Revolution! Not like I talk about their products every make up Monday. Seriously though guys they're probably my favourite make up brand. This is there Iconic Blush, Bronze and Brighten in the shade Smoulder. This is perfect for carrying around as the blush is super  pigmented, the highlight is a stunning champagne glow only downside is I don't use bronzer I'm skin tone vampire and bronzer just makes me look dirty. 
Oh my goodness this concealer is perfect. I also know that I talk about concealer a lot but I'm always looking for different concealers to try and this one , well this one is probably one of the best colour matches I've found. It's the Rimmel Match Perfection in Ivory. This concealer also has highlighting properties so it makes you look super awake, no more dark circles for Leanne. Hooray. It's quite a liquidy consistency so probably not the best for oily skin. 
Benefit Roller Lash mascara. Guys I've you've been here for a while you'll know my love for this little beauty. If like me your eyes are wide and round this little beauty is for you. It's everything amd more you'll need in a mascara it gives you that doll eye look which is what I'm always after in my mascara. 
Nude eyeliner, this is probably one of my holy grail products. I always wear a nude liner it gives you that super wide eyed doll look. It's all about the big eyes for me so this will never leave my make up bag ever. This one is a Rimmel one and it's super long lasting. 
I'm always wearing liquid liner and this has been the one I've used since I started wearing liquid liner. It's the Rimmel glam eyes and it's super easy to apply and lasts all day. 
Lastly it's my lip products that are always with me. I love Burts bees lip products they're super hydrating and the coloured balms give amazing colour pay off and amazing hydration which is always a plus in my books. I also always carry a lip colour with me and at the moment that's the Maybelline Colour Drama in Minimalist it's a pretty pink with a bit of sparkle and it's just the perfect everyday colour that can be taken into the night 
Let me know what's in your travel bag?
Lots of Love
