10 products I can't Live Without

These are the kind of products I would take to a desert island and they are the ones I recommend for anyone for day to day life.

1. Mascara - especially any Maybelline one is great since I discovered Great Lash in Florida a few years ago.  The one I'm using right now is the colossal volum' express, about £8 but often on 3 for 2.

2. Liquid Eyeliner - my go to since I've been about 14, is the natural collection one for just £1.99

3. Bronzer - literally any bronzer that suits your complexion.  At the moment I'm trying out a sample size of Hoola bronzer by Benefit.

4. Highlighter - the glitterer the better!  I used to use some No7 years ago but I have now found the boujois chocolate bronzer with a highlighter, £8.99.

5. Make up wipes - easy to use Johnsons or Simple couple of pounds from Savers.


6. Body Scrub - essential to my shower routine - I use mainly body shop ones, I love the smell of the chocolate one £2-5 depending on size.

7. Make Up Brushes - I started out with a few No7 eyeshadow brushes with the old £5 off vouchers in boots and have now grown my collection to include Real Techniques shes.  I got mine from allbeauty.com for £13.50 a set.

8. Lip Balm - I use Nivea Caregloss or the Body Shop's Born Lippy, £2

9. Eyelash Curlers - from anywhere really!

10. Dry Shampoo - I use Batiste which rangers from about £1-£3 depending on size.

Welcome to my blog!



I'm Ellie, a blonde 20 something year old girl that loves style, beauty and of course lilac.


This blog is where you will find everything that I am passionate about in one destination; be it fashion, make up, art and more.  

I aim to post at least once a week and have monthly features.  I love to give tips and tricks that I have learn from magazines, YouTube and trial & error but sometimes I might need help.  And once I did a fashion and textiles course.

P.S My make up doesn't feel right without a liquid eyeliner flick at the corner of my eyes and bronzer is my weakness.
