I Heart UK High Street Make-Up!

Hey Chickies,

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while been mega busy recently, I got a myself a new job and everything has been so hectic but I'm back now and hopefully on a blogging roll!

I don't think there has been enough High Street Brand loving on The Prophecy Of Loveliness and there are some really good products out at the moment. I've seen this tag floating around YouTube and the bloggesphere, so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon and spread the love. The tag was originally called the 'I Heart Drugstore make up tag' but here in the UK we call it the highstreet, the US Ultas and Targets are like our Boots and Superdrugs. As soon as I saw The Sunday Girls UK HighStreet adaptation of the tag I jumped at the chance to do it!

1. What is your favourite High St Make-Up brand?

It has to be Rimmel, I know a lot of bloggers have said Rimmel, but they are coming out with some crackers! I am in love with my beloved Rimmel Moisture LipStick in Spot Light Beige and my Rimmel Match Maker Foundation for my highlight foundation, to see how I use it check out my Kimmy K contouring and highlighting post!



2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products? 

 I am in love with my Rimmel match perfection foundation its got a gorgeous formulation and as the name suggests its match perfection! I haven't tried many if any High Street cheek products I have to admit, nether the less I really want to try the sleek blushes I have heard so many good reviews on them and they just seem amazing. One of my favourite lip products of all time is the Rimmel lipstick in spot light beige but there is a catch, I am pretty sure that is has been discontinued, however I am still very much on the search for this little gem!

3. What is your least favourite High Street product? 

It's got to be the GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen in Black Brass, I really do not want to be bah humbug when it comes to make up (or anything for that matter) but I really do not like this eyeliner, when I picked it up one lunchtime from Superdrug, I had big hopes for it as I liked the colour when swatched it in the shop, but literally thirty seconds after it completely dried I rubbed my hand lightly and it came off, it was very watery and not very pigmented. It reminds me of the really flimsy branches that I used to pick up at the park when I younger, this is the flimsy branches of the eye liner world.

4. What is your favourite make-up bargain? 

My favourite make-up bargain has to be the MUA clear mascara, alas I do not use it as a mascara I use is as a brow set. It works perfectly to set my brows, and sometimes I get a bit eyebrow happy and apply way to much Illamasqua eye brow cake, it is sorted within second, with one swipe of this lovely little thing and my brows are browtasitc once more. The reason why its my favourite bargain is that it is only £1!!!! Yes £1!!!

5. What is your favourite underdog product? 

My favourite under dog product is the GOSH Boombastic mascara its a delight. It is my favourite mascara.. dare I say it.. of all time. Its just amazing, it give the lashes volume, length and oh so much drama, every girl loves bit a of drama!

6. What product do you fine most over priced? 

I have to agree with most on this one Mascaras are the most overpriced, luckly my favourite mascara the GOSH Boombastic mascara is only £8.49 but some Mascaras can reach the £12.99 - £15 mark thats almost as much as the high end mascaras from Benefit or Clinque.

7. Whats your best bargain dupe? 

My best bargain dupe is the Boujois Chocolate bronzer, its very much like the NARs Laguna Bronzer just with a chocolate smell.

8. What high street product do you think isn't worth the hype?

The L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic Mascara was a massive let down for me. I had heard loads of hype over this mascara, also it is promoted by Cheryl Cole, I love Cheryl she is my girl crush. Although I love Cheryl Cole, I am totally not in love with this mascara. I find that is does nothing for my lashes, in my opinion the normal L'Oreal Telescopic mascara is much better and ever so slightly cheaper.




I would love to find some new High Street beauties, let me know you best highstreet finds?

Until Next Time,
Jess
