Disappointing Products

Hello again!

We talked about the good stuff the last time and now I'm here with some products which I would NOT recommend. These are disappointing products or products I regret buying, just because they didn't work as I hoped they would or they were just not good at all:(. Three out of four products are E.L.F., but don't think that I don't like E.L.F. as a brand because I love a lot of their products! I've tried many so these are just the ones which didn't work for me. Hope you enjoy!

The first one is E.L.F. Smudge Pot. I have it in the shade Ain't That Sweet, which is a metalic-y baby pink with tiny glitters. I wanted to get this for such a long time, and it's hard to get E.L.F. in Europe, but I was really disappointed with it. It doesn't apply smoothly and sometimes comes in big chunks, it also 'disappears' after a while. Price: 3$

The next E.L.F. product is a lipstick from their 1$ line. I have it in the shade Classy. I'm not sure if mine is bad or old, but if all of them are like this, they are impossible to use. It's very soft so loses its shape and breaks every time I try to apply it (you can see in the photo how messy it has become). I also don't like the colour (very fake looking), but that's not really the biggest problem as the lipstick sets into your lines. The good thing is that it's creamy, but like I said it's almost impossible to use so I don't recommend it. Price: 3$.






And the last E.L.F. product is their Nourshing Cuticle Pen. It says it has avocado and almond oils and vitamins, but it does NOTHING. It literally does nothing to your cuticles so definitely not worth the 1$.










Finally, I didn't like this lipstick from Make Up Academy in the shade Totally Nude. This is one of their matte lipsticks and it's not comfortable on the lips. Of course, it's very affordable, but it dries your lips a little bit and doesn't look smooth on them (honestly it looks a little bit nasty), so I recommend investing a few pounds more to get a nice lipstick. Price: 1£.

That's it for my disappointing products. Please leave any requests or questions down below!

See you!

Everyday Makeup Routine

Hi Beauty Lovers!

Today I will talk about products which I use everyday if I am going somewhere. I usually don't have much time in the morning to get ready, but I always sacrifice some time to do my makeup haha. You'll have already seen some of these products, but I use them because they're sooo good. So my makeup is quite minimalistic and neutral and this is what I do almost every morning:

I don't use primer everyday, I sometimes apply it if I know that I will get home late in the evening.

So the first product I use on my face is Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream in 31 ivory. I like this one because it feels very light on my face, hydrates it and stays really well on my skin.
 I apply it with my Real Techniques Sculpting Brush.

Next, I use my Catrice Camouflage Cream (10 ivory), which I mentioned in my 2015 Finds post, to cover up any blemishes I have that day.











For my undereyes I mostly use Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair (1). It has medium to high coverage, so it covers up my dark circles. (You can see it's picture here in my last blog post, but the name is off so that's why I didn't insert a picture here).
I blend out both concealers with a sponge, because I find that this gives me more coverage and makes my face more flawless.

After that, I set my face with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Tranparent. I usually set my undereyes with it as well because I don't have a lot of time to use different products haha. I love it because it mattifies and sets your makeup. I have this in Transparent. The only drawback is that it doesn't stay all day (still stays quite a long time), but for the price this is irreplacable. I use my Real Techniques Blush Brush (prefer it to powder brush because it's easier to apply targeted areas with this one).

If I feel like it I use any of my bronzers, blushes or highligters, but nothing in particular.
I'll use my eyebrow pencil now because I feel more comfortable with my eyebrows done haha. Even though I don't use much product on them and don't change their shape it's still very important. I use this Make Up Academy eyebrow pencil in a shade Brunette. This colour is very warm and not ashy at all. This is only 1£ and you can get it on Superdrug or on Make Up Academy website. I actually bought this one then I was travelling because I needed to get any brow pencil but I really like it! The brush on the end is not very handy as the quality is not good at all and I have to say that it's not as waxy as most brow pencils are, so it might not stay as long, but after I got used to its creaminess I really like it, it just depends what you prefer.

Next, I will sometimes use eyeliner, it depends on my mood and if I do, I will use it on my tight line and I'll use L'oreal Color Riche Le Khol eyeliner in Midnight Black (101). Be careful as this might transfer to your lower lashline if you blink too much right after you apply it. It's very black and wears nicely, so I'd recommend it. (The name is kind of off as on most of my makeup, at least I know I really use them haha).

If I don't use eyeliner and I want to be a little bit more colourful I'll use eyeshadow, which most often for everyday look is Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer eyeshadow in Cashmere Plum as it is so easy and quick to use. I use this very lighly and apply it with my finger just for a hint of colour. I love this colour, because it compliments my blue eyes very well. It's a soft plumy purple colour. These eyeshadows stay very well on your eyes and you can get it from fragrancedirect.co.uk for only 3.50£!

After that, I'll apply mascara. Mostly, I use my Gosh Catchy Eyes (Provocateur) mascara, but I'll use any mascara depending on the look that I am going for. This is one of the best mascaras I've tried and I've repurchased it several times already. This is best for lengthening and it really makes your lashes reach the sky! It has a rubber applicator.

 Lastly, I apply some kind of lip product. Sometimes it's just a lip balm and sometimes it's a dark purple - it all depends on my mood, but lately I've been using my Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Galactic Mauve. This is quite sheer so I like it for a hint of colour. Be aware that this colour has glitters in it, which I'm personally not a fan of, but they don't show very much on the lips. This has glossy/satin finish. (I don't use this one when I use my CK eyeshadow because the colours are too similar).

Left to right: MUA eyebrow pencil in Brunette, L'oreal eyeliner in Midnight Black, CK eyeshadow in Cashmere Plum, Maybelline lipstick in Galactic Mauve.

That's my everyday makeup routine. My everyday makeup is simple and quite natural, but I hope you enjoyed! What are the products you use everyday? I'd love to know!

Have a nice day/morning/evening, wherever you are!

The Best Affordable Makeup

Hello everyone!

Today I decided to talk about some very affordable and veery good quality products. This is a good way to save money, because these products do wonders but won't hurt your wallet. I've chosen some extra affordable products, which are one of the cheapest in the drugstore. Let's get started!

So the first product really worth mentioning is High Lights by Technic. This brand is not very popular or known, but one of the easiest way to get it is from fragrancedirect.co.uk (not promoting this website at all, I've just found some very good deals there haha). This gives you wet face look, it doesn't have any glitter or shimmer, it's just a beautiful sheen. You can even apply it before foundation or mix it in it to achieve that dewy face look. It has that nail polish applicator and is said to be a dupe for Benefit High Beam. Price: 2£.
(Swatch in the end of the post)







The next thing I recommend is again super affordable and it's Essence Lip Liners. These are around 1£ each! They aren't the most long wearing, but they are very pigmented and the most important - doesn't dry out you lips! I often apply them all over my lips. I have them in 5 shades and they also have a classic red one in Femme Fatale, a white shade and a pink in Wish Me a Rose, which seemed a little bit too unnatural for me, so I didn't buy it. But love all the shades! (Look at the photo and guess which one is my favourite haha)

 For some reason, the formula in the shade Cute Pink is not as good as it's a little bit harder to apply and the pencil is not as smooth.

The First Time

Hey Beauty Lovers!

I can't believe I'm finally starting a blog! This is my first time, but I've been thinking about this for such a long time, I've been accumulating all kinds of information about makeup and beauty so I hope you'll enjoy. So if you asked why I started this blog, I'd say that it's all because of my uncontrollabe obsession and unmanagable passion for makeup. I've been watching YouTube videos for ages and I can't stop.

So when it comes to my blog name - The White Beauty Fox - I can't explain how I thought of this name, because it kind of popped into my head. Anyways, it has a little bit of my personality in it - I was often called little fox when I was a child, probably because I've always been so curious. So initially I thought about naming my blog BeautyFox, but I added white, because white foxes are breathtaking and I love white - it's such a pure and modern colour for me - so I thought this name was more unique.

So my blog is going to be all about beauty, hair care, skin care, makeup, clothes and other girly things. If you come across my blog - please leave any requests and I'll be happy to write about anything that you're interested in!

See you soon!
