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£.

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.

Empties!

Hello everyone!

As 2016 has come it's time to start it fresh and new! Let's talk about some products I've used up!

The first one is L'oreal Lumi Magique Concealer. I had it in the lightest shade: Light (1). I liked it but I wouldn't repurchase because for the price you can get something better. It has very sheer coverage and it's more of a highlighter than a concealer. If you don't have dark undereyes this looks really nice and illuminates your undereyes, but like I said there are definitely better products in the drugstore so I won't be buying this again. Price: 8.5£.



Next is this E.L.F. Concealer and highlghter duo. Mine was in the shade Light. Wouldn't repurchase as well, because the highlighter isn't very pigmented or illuminating, it kind of disappears after a while. The concealer is fine, but after using it for longer I noticed that my undereyes became very very dry and itchy, so definitely don't recommend it for sensitive skin. Price: 3$ (I've checked it now and it might have been discontinued, but at least we didn't lose anything important haha). Besides, mines broke into two parts then I dropped it:(.




Pierre Cardin concealer. I had this in the shade 02 Naturel (it's funny that it's not the lightest shade and it's not too dark for me). I've scraped everything out of this haha. I really enjoyed this concealer, although there are better ones for my skin type. If you have a pretty good skin this is perfect. The concealer looks very natural and feels light on the skin. This offers light to medium coverage and it's not very buildable. Price: 7.50£.


And the last product is a Volume Million Lashes mascara (the original golden black one) by L'oreal. It has a rubber applicator and it's best for volumizing your lashes and it also gives a little bit of lenght. The mascara was okay, I liked it, but I don't think I will be repurchasing it anytime soon, just because there are better mascaras for lower price and I would only recommend buying this on offer. Full price: 10£.

That's it for today, sorry that the products are mostly concealers haha! I hope you enjoyed and if you have any questions or requests please comment down below!

See you soon!

2015 Finds

Hello Beauty Lovers!

As the year is coming to an end and today is the last day of 2015 I thought I should recall on things which I've discovered and loved throughout 2015. This post is kind of monthly favourites but for a year - yearly favourites haha. I have some higher end and some drugstore products. I hope you enjoy!

So the first product which I found in 2015 and it would be a lot harder to live without now is PIXI Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach. This saves my life! I have really dark undereyes because of sleep deprivation (it's really bad for you, please avoid it haha), but this concealer hides EVERYTHING. It conceals any blue-ish or purple-ish discoloration on your face. It's the best that I've tried and I really recommend you getting your hands on it. It's quite hard to get it, but it's worth it! Price: 14£.



Clinique as a brand. I've had only one product from Clinique before 2015 - a lipstick, which I loved, but I tried many more this year, including skin care and makeup and I loved every single product, so I won't get into details right now, but you'll definitely hear about Clinique on my blog in the future.



Mary - Lou Manizer by The Balm. I mentioned this in my last blog post, but I have to say it again - it is the best highlight that I've tried! It's so pigmented and it makes your face so glowy and illuminated. Love it! Price: 18£.

New Years Nails and Makeup

Hi Beauty Lovers!

As New Years is coming I've gone through my nail polish and makeup collection and I've chosen some things which I think would be perfect for the New Years Eve. New Years for me is glitter, sparkles, bright and bold colours and just doing something different. Of course, you don't have to go out of your comfort zone if you don't want to and I think you will find something useful in this blog post either way. I also have some very versatile products, so your makeup will be quick, easy and glamorous!

Firsly, some nail polish ideas:
Burgundy is always a great idea. I love wearing it in winter so New Years Eve is not an exception. I have this nice burgundy shade from Essie, which is called Shearling darling (love Essie's names!) and I have a matte option as well. It's Golden Rose Matte Nail Lacquer. I put the photo but mine doesn't have a name! I'm sorry for that, but it's just a redish burgundy. Essie nail polish is 8.5$ (or you can buy a limited amount of colours from fragrancedirect.co.uk for 3£) and the Golden Rose is about 4-5$. I have to say that the Golden Rose one chips faster than the Essie one.

Golden Rose Matte Nail Lacquer applied (on a fake nail obviously haha)

I also think coppery bronze colours look cool. Make sure they have a sheen or glitter and you're good to go! This one is by Golden Rose in a shade 147.
 










 



 
Another great colour is dark grey. This particular one has tiny glitters in it so it makes it even more festive. It's from Astor, it's affordable and doesn't chip. That's all you need! This one is quite old formula, but you can find Astor nail polishes for about for 1-2£.









 Dark blues and greens also look very nice. Again, glitter and sheen makes it even more festive, but it's all your choice. These colours are from a lithuanian brand, so only lithuanians will be able to get their hands on it (by the way, these are super affordable and does not chip as you would expect), but Essie definitely has some colour dupes. For example, "Midnight Cami" (right) or "Stylenomics" (left).

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!
