Spring Everyday Makeup Look

Holla Holla!

If you're from England then we are in the first week of our 3 month heatwave (oh so hot... not), but i'm hoping it will be nice and sunny so i'm able to whip out my spring clothes. I've already started wearing lighter makeup and more springy colours on my face so I thought i'd do a post on what my spring go to makeup products are.

Rimmel Match Perfection is a reasonably light coverage foundation, just perfect for spring.
Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer gives a radiant glow, so I use this under my eyes. Also for concealer I use the trusty Lasting Perfection for any blemishes or redness on my face and to set all this in place Rimmel Stay Matte powder is my go to.
I then bronze up my face (and attempt to contour) using the bourjois chocolate bronzer as I like to call it and to add a hint of colour I use my all time favourite NYX blush in Rose Garden.

Onto eyes, I used the Soap and Glory Lid Stuff palette in Off the Wallflowers and for a shimmery finish I used the neutral, goldy colour in the palette (Top right) and then in the socket the deep plum shade (bottom left). L'oreal's Miss Manga mascara is my favourite product of the year so far so I used this for my lashes.
To fill in my eyebrows I used an eyebrow pencil from Maybelline, this one is fab because it isn't waxy at all.

For lips I used one of my favourite Lip glosses from Tanya Burr's lipgloss range called Picnic in the Park. It is a lovely girly pink colour with no shimmer. For a bit of shimmer I then added the Rimmel Wake Me Up highlighter and applied this on the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose, in the inner corner of my eyes and under the brow bone.

Dress and Necklace both from New Look

I'm going to Portsmouth to visit my family on Thursday and these are all the products which are being packed to take with me!

Thanks for reading :)

My brow products (and a first impression)

Hi everyone,

I've been away from the blogosphere for a while now because of school and every deadline under the sun, but I've been spending some money so I'll be doing some reviews/ first impression posts hopefully soon.

Today I'll be doing a post on eyebrow products as I love a good eyebrow, and I'll be giving you an insight on my first impression of one specific product!

At the minute, I use mac eyeshadow in 'charcoal brown' due to Tanya Burr using it on her eyebrows in lots of her old YouTube videos. I love the way my eyebrows look when I apply this, and the application time is literally like 10 seconds, it's so easy!

I used to use pencils to fill in my brows when I first started getting into makeup, however I didn't like the way that they applied, I thought that they looked too waxy and streaky on my eyebrows. However I've since actually learnt how to use them and how to apply it onto your brow. I lightly dash it onto my brows and this makes it look more natural.

The last brow product I have and will be talking about is 'maybelline brow drama', it is a sculpting mascara and just putting it straight out there; I would not recommend!! It looked a dupe of the benefit gimme brow which I have resisted into buying it as I don't feel my brows are the right shape/too sparse to use it. Also it is quite expensive for the little tube it comes in. Obviously I wanted to try something like it before I splash the cash so I chose this product. I am not liking it, it goes on my skin above and below the brow rather than on the actual brow. I did get the lightest colour (there was only 2 shades) because I thought the darkest would be too dark for me, I was probably wrong. I just don't feel it gives any colour at all and it doesn't really shape the brows like what it says it does. Has anyone had the same problem with this product or just me?! Let me know!:)

Anyone have any different brow products they use which they think I should try? I'd love to try more:) Also if anybody has tried the benefit gimme brow make sure to tell me because I do reallllly want to try it!!!

Collective haul

Hi everyone,

Recently i've been spalshing the cash a bit and bought some new clothes, makeup and hair bits and bobs! All the items I bought were bought within like 5 days of each other so I did go a bit mental when it came to spending my money this week (after putting most of it away for my car insurance, nearly there woohoo!)
I'll link everything I bought so make sure to click on the links because 1. The pictures don't really show, the clothes, especially, any justice and 2. their descriptions will be a lot better than mine haha!

Firstly i'll start with makeup and hair stuff which I bought from Superdrug.

VO5 we're having a 2 for £5 and i've been wanting to try their 'Give me Texture' spray for ages, and I can tell you it doesn't dissapoint, my hair is huge after I spray a bit into the roots of my hair! I also bought their 'Refresh Me Quick' dry shampoo and I wanted to try another brand instead of Batiste, I think it's just as good!
Next I came across the Revlon stand, I've been drooling over these 'Colorburst Balms' since they came out and whilst they're still on a special offer price of £5.99 I thought I might as well (Zoella's haul tempted me too)! The colour I bought was the Lacquer one in 120 Vivacious, and it's just a shimmery fusica pink, I love it!!
My collection lasting perfection concealer is my holy grail but it doesn't seem to be covering my under eye dark circles recently so I decided to try a thicker product. I was going to dive straight in and get the Mac one but I thought I best test the formula first so bought a MUA version, (even though MUA will be completely different to the mac one). I'm not too keen so I'll stick to the collection one for the minute until I find a better one which I love!
I also bought some of the Oral B 3D whitening toothpaste but that's in my bathroom so not in the haul lol

I haven't shown you my full collection of Tanya Burr Lipglosses yet so I thought I'd add it into here, seen as i've recently bought two more shades. My favourite is Aurora (second to left), it is just a lovely everyday colour and as i've said before, the smell of them all is to die for!!! I got mine off of Feel Unique for £6.99 each, they often have some kind of discount on too which is great!

L-R: Champagne Toast, Aurora, Picnic in the Park,

Let's travel the world and Vampire Kiss

Now onto clothes...

The Daisy print top is from Dorothy Perkins and was £14. The black and white patterned top is from Matalan (I bought this to wear to sixth form as it's quite smart) and the pink top is from Matalan too! The Heels I bought are a simple black pair which I got from Tesco, they have a chunky heel and I absolutley love them!

The skirt on the left is from Matalan and was £10. I bought it to wear to sixth form, it's a simple just above the knee pencil wrap style skirt. The middle dress is also from Matalan (As you can tell Matalan is my fave haha), its a neon pink shift dress which I got for £16 and I love it! It looks fab with the black heels which I mentioned early on in this very long post! However, my favourite of the bunch is this black playsuit from Tesco. It's got some cut out detailing on the shoulders, has a long gold zip down the back and has a very deep V neck which is oh so revelaing (a bit out of my comfort zone haha). This was £22:)

Wow that was a long old post! 

Hope you enjoyed it and comment below telling me what your favourite clothing stores are because i'm still in need of more clothes haha! 

Thanks for reading:) (sorry it was soooo long)

Brush Cleaning Day

Hi everyone,

I used to always want to know how to clean makeup brushes when I first got my expensive brushes so I looked into it all over the internet. There weren't that many good websites/blog posts so I thought i'd show you my way of how I like to clean my brushes just incase you're looking too!

I decided not to invest in brush cleaner because 1. It's expensive and 2. I found some posts which said that it wasn't as good as baby shampoo. Baby shampoo is literally so cheap, I got it from a pound shop for something like 96p and it gives your brushes a really good deep clean.

I get a bit of the shampoo on my hand and dampen the ends of the brush. Then in circle motions work the brush into the baby shampoo until you think its clean (this will only take like 30-40 seconds.) To get rid of the dirty excess shampoo on your brush and hand, rinse it lightly under slighty warm water, (don't get the bottom end of the brush wet because the water will run down and unstick the glue which will then result in your brissles falling out!!). Once you've rinsed it add a small amount of the shampoo onto the tip of your brush and using circular motion gently rub the brush onto kitchen towel, (I would receommend kitchen towel rather than toilet paper because it's thicker and the toilet paper will break apart). When there is no colour coming off onto the kitchen towel your brush is clean. Make sure you leave your brushes laying flat or hanging upside down with the brissles of the brush facing downwards, otherwise the water will run into the glue and your brush will fall apart.
Once all my brushes have been cleaned, I make sure the brissles are back in the direction they should be because they will dry into that place, I place them onto kitchen towel and put them on a window cill facing sunlight or on/near a radiator. They will take a good few hours to dry so I would recommend cleaning them before bed so they are dry for when you want to use them the next day.

So my top tips are:
1. Use baby shampoo instead of brush cleaner because it's cheaper and gives a deeper clean
2. Clean your brushes using circular motions
3. Make sure you put the brissels back into their right direction before drying
4. Lay your brushes flat or upside down to dry

If you have any other tips or questions for cleaning brushes let me know in the comments below and i'll be sure to try them and try to answer your questions:) Also I am no expert so this might not be right, but it's just a way I find gives my brushes a good deep clean.
I clean my brushes once every 2-3 weeks because I only use them on me and not other people, and because it is a deep clean, they don't need to be cleaned every week (well I don't think so anyway haha)

Happy birthday to me

Warning: A very picture heavy post and iPhone camera quality pictures sorry!!!! 

Hi everyone,

Today is my 17th birthday (12th February) and this evening my mum, dad, sister and I went out for food! I was at school today so nothing special happened except I got a sick balloon from my friend Amber, and I had my first driving lesson, scary stuff I tell you!!

Tonight, We ended up going to my work, mainly because my fam haven't tried the food since the new owners started but also we got discount because I'm an employee hahaha!, so why not I say?!
I already knew I was going to have the most popular dish on the menu, Chicken in a basket because it's one of the meals which I actually haven't tried at work (working in the kitchen I get to try everything haha). My mum went for the 'Woolpack burger', my dad had the 'Haddock and Chips' and my sister went all out and had the 'Sirloin Steak', after all she did especially come home from uni for my birthday, woop thanks sis!  Because we were so hungry we scoffed it down straight away forgetting I wanted to take pictures so you will just have to picture everything...

My balloon from my friend Amber!! Imagine me walking around sixth form with this today hahahaha

My friend Zoe who works on the bar gave me a balloon, thanks Zo! And my sis got me a badge (along with some amaze presents which will be in a blog post soon!

My sister came home from Nottingham Uni woohoooo!! 

She'll hate me for this lol:p

Thanks for my cake/syrup sponge Simon (My best dessert, I'm the main dessert maker at work;))

Ps such an awful picture lol! 

Laughing so much at my face hahahaha

More cake when we got home too

I'll be posting a 'what I got for my birthday' post soon (when my best friend Emily sorts my present out!!! Jokes we both slaked this year and are both so late hahaha) but it will be posted soon with or without her present;)

Hope this wasn't too picture heavy and boring for you, just thought I'd post what I'd been doing today on my birthday:)

#TanyaBurrLipsandNails

Hi everyone,

I ordered some products from the Tanya Burr by Eye Candy! Collection the day they was released, luckily before they all sold out. I got a couple things to try them out.

L-R: Champagne Toast and Just Peachy

I got two lipglosses; Champagne Toast and Just Peachy. I received them quite late because one was out of stock after I ordered it but the delivery was free so I can't complain. When they finally came I was so pleased with how they looked. The packaging of the lipglosses are lovely and Tan looks Beauts on the packaging which the products came in.
They are so moisturising, shiny and last on the lips ages. The smell is Devine and I thought I wouldn't find anything that smells better than NYX lip products but these do!! The only fault I have is that the colours are a lot different from what they are advertised as on the websites. Champagne toast looks a light pink colour with specks of glitter in it online but in real life it is a lot browner toned and shearer. I can't complain though because it makes a lovely clear coat on top of a lipstick or on a bare lip making the lips look very shiny.
I haven't tried the other shade I have yet but I'm sure I'll love it.

They are now available online on the Superdrug website as well as Feel Unique and a few other beauty websites so I can't wait to buy more:) Also I'm very excited to try some nail varnishes as I've seen a lot of great reviews about them online. It's my birthday on Wednesday so I'm hoping to get a couple other colours too (hint hint mum;))

Have you tried any of Tanya's lipglosses or nail varnishes?  Let me know in the comment!

My 'Real Techniques' brush collection

Hi everyone,

I've been umming and arring for a while now to do this post (mainly because I needed to clean my brushes), and finally decided to press post, so hope you enjoy:)

I forgot to photograph them after I cleaned them so this

is after a couple of uses.. Do mind me haha!

My collection of Real Techniques brushes started in April last year, I first bought the 'Expert face brush' and I absolutley loved it! Because I loved it so much, I then bought the powder brush and blush brush together on a buy 1 get 2nd half price, which offer is nearly always on in boots, and I love these two just as much! They are all so soft and i'm sometimes late getting ready in the morning because I sit stroking my face with the powder brush hahaha!

When my sister moved to Uni in September, as a leaving present I ordered her an 'expert face brush' and also ordered a cheeky purchase for myself, 'The starter kit'. I use 3/5 of the brushes in this set on a day to day basis, however I have used the 2 others, the 'accent brush' and 'fine liner brush' a few times but just not a daily essential.

These 3 are what I use from the 'starter kit' everyday; 

'Deluxe crease brush', 'brow brush' and 'base shadow brush'

My next buy will be the 'core collection' and the 'setting brush'. They are quite expensive but I would really recommend them and for the amount I use them, I have gotten my moneys worth definatly!
Big round of applause for Sam Chapman, my favourite brushes by far:)

Have you tried any of the real techniques brushes/do you want to try them? Let me know which are your favourites or on the top of your beauty wants list in the comments!

Ps: It's my birthday in 9 days woohoooo:D

#FOTD- Everyday makeup look

Hi everyone,

So today after about a week of plucking up the courage I've finally decided to put up a #FOTD post!
I absolutely love applying makeup and trying new products so my everyday makeup doesn't stay the same very often (changing my everyday lipstick or blush) but this is what i'm wearing at the minute! It's my go to makeup and I wear it to school everyday. I'm no makeup artist (lol I wish), so if i'm doing something wrong then sorry haha!

I stay very neutral but add a little colour on my checks and lips:)

My go to foundation at the moment (and has been since April 2013), is Rimmel Wake Me Up. It is sometimes too orange for me so I do mix it with my bourjois healthy mix (which I hate on it's own) and together it makes a petfectooo colour for me.

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer  is my fave, I apply it under my eyes (quite a bit because i've got my dads eyes, thanks dad love). It is also great for your spots and blemishes, fab coverage!!! If you don't have it then get it, I swear you'll love it!!

To set my face I use Rimmel Stay Matte powder, my skin tone is oily and it is so good at keeping my oiliness on the low key.

In my NYX haul I posted last week, I showed you all my new blush in 'rose garden', I am absolutely loving it and have been wearing it everyday since I got it.

For filling in my eyebrows I use Mac 'charcol brown', people always ask me what I use on my eyebrows and I say eyeshadow and they're like 'whattttttt?!?', But blame Tanya Burr haha. She got me hooked, I find it so much easier to apply and think it looks a lot better (on me) than pencil! 

I got my trusty Maybelline the falsies mascara back, finally, after it being out of stock EVERYWHERE over christmas! I love it so much and have been using it for over a year now!

Also in my NYX blog post I showed that I got this lip balm, it has a hint of colour in it and makes my lips a light pink colour, just like the baby lips so i'm always switching between my fave babylips, cherry me, and my new NYX lip balm! 

I wear eyeshadow everyday, I feel so weird and incomplete without it and at the minute I am loving my Urban Decay Naked Basics palette! For everyday I use the pinky toned colour 'W.O.S' (3rd left) all over my lid and the light brown called 'Naked 2' (4th left) in my crease. For a highlight I use the first colour called 'Venus' in the inner corners of my eyes and on my brow bone.

Now for the scary part, a picture of the makeup! These two pictures are on two separate days but they show the two different Lip balms that I wear! Sorry they aren't great pictures, when taking them on my camera the lighting literally made me look white so I had to use my phone!

This is with babylips cherry me on my lips:) 

(It looks darker than usual, I had a lip stain on before that's why haha)

I wear it to work all the time as it's quick and easy

(This is where I was going in this picture haha)

If  you liked this kind of post let me know, and maybe I can do more #FOTD's!

Thanks for reading:)

What do you want to see on my blog?!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been really busy with work and school (again!!!). I've also been getting over the flu which I've had for nearly 2 weeks now!!

I have a few ideas on what to post on my blog, however if you have any ideas let me know as I really love blogging, however don't want to bore you all with the same posts over and over! I liked writing my Review on Maybelline babylips so I am planning on writing more reviews. For example, reviewing my Real Techniques brushes (a lot of my friends ask me about them too so they can come read it also), January favourites is another I'm sure I'll be posting and reviews on the products which I bought from NYX in my last blog post.

It's my birthday coming up (15 days woohooo), so I'm thinking about doing #OOTD posts, as I'm sure we will go out for a family meal or I'll do something with my friends. Also maybe a 'what I got for my birthday' post?! However it will most probably be stuff for driving and a car as i'm turning the big 1 7 oooooh hahaha so I'm not definite on this post yet!

As I said, any posts you would like me to post or anything you specifically like reading, then let me know and I'll be sure to take it into consideration:)

Sorry this was boring but I thought I'd post to make sure you all know where I'm at and that my blog is still alive haha!

NYX makeup haul

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I received my order from NYX (a makeup brand for whoever doesn't know). It's an American makeup brand, however, has a European online store and it is now sold in selected Next clothing stores in UK! I ordered off the online store and the postage costs a bomb!!! But because I spent over £30 (oops) I received free postage woohoo!

I went a bit lip crazy as you can see but also bought a highly recommended blush

Firstly, I bought a set of matte lip creams, as they were cheaper than buying them separately. I wanted the colours Antwerp which is a coral/nude shade and Addis Ababa which is a hot pink shade so when I saw they was in a set I thought I'd buy it to save money and also try another shade for a cheaper price! My lips are quite dry at the moment so they aren't my favourite things ever at the moment, however they do have a really nice formula and the smell is amazing so I do think I will love these when it comes to spring and summer:) The set of 3 was £12 and called 'Give a Little Love'.
That was all a bit negative but I do like NYX lip products as I have the mega shine set including 'beige', 'natural' and 'sugar pie'. I love them and they smell incredible!!! I just want to eat them haha.

I'm not keen on the colour of this lipstick I bought, it was in the sale for £4 so this is why I bought it, however the colour isn't the same as it looked on the site so it wasn't as I expected it to be. A shame really as It's not a colour I would wear :( 

However, the lip tint is defiantly something I am going to be wearing, in fact I wore it at school today. It's very moisturising and has a great tint. I would say it is a dupe for the maybelline babylips which I reviewed in a recent blog post:) I would highly recommend this lip tint and it was cheap!! In the sale for £3.50

NYX black label lipstick in 'That 70's Pink' and Color Lip Balm in 'Merci'

The last and my favourite item which I bought was a powder blush in the colour 'Rose Garden'. I already had the shade 'Mocha' which I bought for my prom so I knew I liked the formula, and also a lot of bloggers/vloggers recommened it such as Tanya Burr. She used it in her back to school makeup tutorial on her channel and it just made her look so healthy. It is quite a light shade of pink and had gold speckles in it which I love. Because of the gold shimmer it can be worn as a blush and highlighter at the same time so you don't need to mess around with two products in the morning when getting ready (eg for school, this was a lot easier for me)! Overall I love it and it will definatly be my go to blush!

NYX powder blush in 'Rose Garden'. It is £6:)

I also got one other product but I won't be showing that as it is for my friend for her birthday and I know she will read this (she proof reads my posts incase of spelling/grammar mistakes hahaha, as she is an A Level English student. Thanks Em;)) 

Have you tried any NYX products? Or is there any you want to try? Recommend me some as I love this brand!! 

Thanks for reading:)

A Massive thank you!!!!

Hi everyone,

I've just received the email saying my blog has reached 100 followers (!!!!!!!), i'm so excited right!
In the big blogging world this isn't a lot, however to me it is so many! I can't believe it:D

Considering I started my blog nearly 2 weeks a go now I am in shock that it has gained so many followers and readers in that short space of time! Whenever I get a new follower or comment  on a blog, I get more and more excited every time so just know it all does mean the world to me!:)

As i'm not loaded, and have a car to save for, (mum took money off me today again:(() I won't be doing a giveaway just yet, however keep a look out:)

Tomorrow I will be uploading a post on what I received from NYX, my order came today woohoo! There will be reviews on the products in the next few weeks so keep reading for them and also any requests on what you want me to post about, make sure you let me know by commenting, emailing me or tweeting me (fancy new (not fully finished) social media buttons to the right... Oooooh)!

Once again, Thank you so much!

Top 5 fave body butters

Hi everyone,

Don't you just love body butters/creams? I am obsessed! Infact obsessed isn't even the word... I have so many!! I am known in my sport lessons for walking late into practical lessons with a strong scent coming off of my legs (mainly of Raspberries, thats the moisturiser I currently have in my sport bag), because i've been moisturising my legs in the changing rooms... Oooops! Always got to smell nice I say, not that anyones going to be smelling my legs haha!

I can't even count have many I have but I've narrowed it down to my top 5! I'll give you an explanation of what I think they smell like (what the description on the back of the product says) so picture me sat on my bed smelling them all lol!!
Im going to do them in order, so 5 is my least fave and 1 is my absolute favourite. I obviously love them all as these are the ones which have made my top 5 but I do have 1 specific fave!

5. Sanctuary spa body lotion: To me this has no smell to it at all which I like. I normally love strong sweet/fruity scents but on days when I can't be bothered or not going somewhere (eg bed) I will use this because I don't want to waste my fave scenty ones.... Lol so over protective hahaha
4. Soap and Glory Sugary Crush body butter: I love this so much!!! My best friend Emily bought me a set for christmas, it included the body butter, body scrub and body wash and it just smells amazing. It is the Lime scent products of S&G and I agree that it smells of lime but all I can smell is Key Lime Pie and Lemon Cheesecake which we make at work!! That makes me want to eat it haha. When I opened it on Christmas day I shoved it in my sisters face because she loves cheesecake and she loved the smell so much that she tried it to see if it tasted the same as it smelt... Apparently it didn't hahaha soz sis!!

3. Justin Bieber Someday: This has to be the gayest pick ever! Don't get me wrong I love Justin but its a bit lame isn't it hahaha! However, don't say anything until you've smelt it!! Beautiful!! Good job Biebs! I don't have a clue what this smells of and it doesn't say on the packaging so i'm taking a guess and saying flowers. I love it!!

2. Body shop body lotion: As silly as this sounds it was so hard to decide between the last two... Hahah! I decided to chose Body shop body lotions as they do the best scents ever! My favourites are Satsuma and Strawberry. I ran out of  my strawberry and satsuma lotions around the same time so I was very happy that I received a set for christmas including this brand spanking new satsuma body butter.
This is my brand new pot and I don't dare use it because it looks so pretty hahaha! I also don't think I need any more pots open at the minute lol!
1. Victoria Secret PINK!: I'm sorry to tell you this but it has been discontinued............:( I found out a couple days before I was going to an airport (best place to by VS, plus I don't have a store near me) and I was so upset because I didn't stock up:( I'm literally on rashens when using this because I can't bear to throw it away! It smells of meringue and whipped cream (according to the packaging) and being the scent expert I am, I totes agree!! It sounds amazing doesn't it? Well if I could I would put a rashened portion onto my blog for you all to smell through your screens to show you just how amazing it is! I love it so much, I only use it for special occasions now, I think the last time I could bring myself around to using quite a bit of it was for my prom, which was in June, and I got so many compliments on how good I smelt....lol!
I'm on the hunt for a new favourite VS scent, I did find one but I threw the bottle away after I used it and now I can't find it anywhere... Bad idea Kieren, Bad idea!!!

Anyway sorry for another very long post, by now i'm guessing you've realised I love to talk a lot haha!
Also I would just like to say I made a post about the Liebster awards with 5 (!!!!!) new nominations in and posted it on Sunday but it deleted itself and I can't get it back:( So annoyed!! But thank you to the people who nominated me, means a lot!

If you have any body butters/lotions/moisturisers, (whatever you want to call them, I called them every name under the sun in this post) you think I would love or any you love, then let me know and I will add some more to my ever growing collection:)

Thanks for reading :)

Day off school for me

Hi everyone,

I was off school today because I've been ill all weekend! I've got the bug that's going around and it's been passed through my whole family. Eventually it hit me!! It's so horrible, I feel so weak and ache so much, my throat legit feels like I've swallowed razor blades and I woke up in the night not being able to breathe lol oops!

My mum makes me homemade soup to take to school so I had some of that for my dinner and it was fab! It looks gross but it tastes great!

It's potato, leek, onion and parsnips flavour, bloody love it!!!

I watched 'This Morning' and 'Loose Women' (Day time shows in UK) and lots of Catfish and Teen Mom, such funny episodes today hahaha!! Days like this I'm annoyed that mum cancelled Disney Channel:( haha how lame! I sat on my sofa drinking lots of Lemsip (so gross), cold and flu tablets and lots of water! Also I somehow ended up on clothing websites and NYX makeup site and somehow ended up buying quite a bit..... Good job I get paid weekly lol!

REVIEW: Maybelline baby lips

Hi everyone,
Sorry I didn't post on Thursday or Friday but I was so busy with school work on Thursday to hand in by Friday (which I did woohooo) and I had work on Friday night so no time to post I'm afraid:(

L-R: Peach Kiss, Pink Punch, Cherry Me

Anyway into this post... I had seen so much love for the baby lips all last year from American youtubers and bloggers so when I saw they finally made their way into superdrug and boots over here in England I was so excited to get my hands on them!

I purchased the ones which have a tint of colour to them; Cherry me, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss. I absolutely love them and have used them too death!
My favourite has the be the darkest pink colour, Cherry me! I wear it basically every day for school and love it.

They are £2.99 each and in Superdug buy 1 get 2nd half price at the minute:)

They say that they moisturise your lips for 8 hours which I don't really agree with but they are really moisturising. They also have SPF 20 which is great for the sun (which we don't have in England) but I will definitely be using them when I'm on holiday to make sure my lips don't burn!

Overall I really would recommend these and will be purchasing the non tinted ones just as my daily lip balm. Also can not wait until more colours are released in England, hurry up maybelline!!!
If you don't have any go and treat your self!

Thanks for reading:)

My Favourite lipsticks

Hi everyone,

I've had over 500 page views whaaaaat?! Its quite scary knowing that many people have read my blog haha, thank you so much for reading and following me though:D

Today i'm going to be telling you what my favourite lipsticks are. 5/6 are from the highstreet and the 6th is from beloved Mac. I'm a very big lover of blue toned pink lipsticks so just to warn you that is what most are haha..
Firstly I apologise for the poor quality of pictures in this blogpost. My camera just didn't want to pick up the colour of any of the lipsticks so that is why they all look very similar!

L-R: MUA lipstick (red) in shade 1, Revlon Colorburst lipbutter in 075 Lollipop, Little Mix Lipstick by Collection in Perrie, Rimmel lasting perfection by Kate Moss in 101, One Direction Lipstick by MUA in Moments, Mac Amplified in Chatterbox. 

Starting with the red lipstick from MUA, it is a classic red lipstick, it has a blue undertone and lasts on your lips great. Bargain price at £1! 

The Revlon Colorburst lipbutter is my favourite fuchsia pink, this is a lipbutter so it is quite sheer which I like as you can wear it as a lip tint or build it up to be a bright bright pink lipstick. £7.99 but now on offer for £5, I might have to go and buy some more now I know they're on offer....

Perrie's lipstick from Collection (Collection 2000 as I will always call it) is an unusual purple colour. However I've found it to be the only purple tone to really suit me enough to actually dare wear out of the house and not just when you're practising your makeup in the mirror haha. I wear it with a natural eye look as I wore it out with a brown smokey eye and it was very full on!! It is also only £2.49 woop!!

The Kate Moss lipstick has been on my shopping list for ages and when I was in Birmingham before christmas I finally bought one. I got the shade 101 as it is the most neutral colour in the collection I would say. I'm next wanting to buy the Red one which everybody raves about! The only bad point about this lipstick is that it smells of watermelon and I hate watermelon haha. This was £5.49!

Another MUA lipstick, this one is the Niall lipstick from the One Direction Kiss You range. I still think its hilarious that they have their own makeup but hey ho I had to try it and obviously due to this lipstick being one of my favourites, I love it! I chose the Niall one called Moments because it was the most neutral pink colour and I wear it a lot for school so obviously don't want anything bright! I love it and still need to buy the rest of the boys. These are a bit more expensive than the normal MUA lipsticks but at £3 you can't go wrong!

Last but not least my Mac lipstick in Chatterbox. I don't actually know what Chatterbox looks like because a few people I know have it and the colours are all completely different. However my Chatterbox is quite a bright baby pink which I love. I got mine for £12 from Birmingham airport but in all Mac shops they are £15 so I would buy all Mac makeup at an airport lol!

No colour has shown up quite right but as you can see I'm a bit of a pink lipstick lover!

L-R: MUA, Revlon, Collection LM, Rimmel Kate Moss, MUA 1D, Mac.

I took a picture like this hoping it shows the colours of the lipsticks better, my camera just didn't like me today!! Sorry x

Let me know if you've tried any of these lipsticks i've just spoke about and what you think about them. Also if you have any different favourite lipsticks that you recommend I try, comment below and i'll be sure to try them!

Thanks for reading :)

My Golden Globes best dressed celebs

Hi everyone,

All I did today at sixth form was sit on The Daily Mail and E News websites and look at all the amazing dresses from the Golden Globes which happened last night in Beverly Hills, California. I am obsessed with Awards ceremony's mainly because of the dresses. I record all of the award ceremony's which are broadcasted on UK TV just to sit and watch to see what my favourite celebs and actresses are wearing (and actors too, Leonardo looked beauts as always).

There was so many beautiful dresses and a few which I didn't take a liking too haha (sorry Jennifer Lawrence I love you really)!!

Here are a few of my favourites, a mixture of colours and styles but I love them all!

 Tatiana Maslany

Maria Menounos

Kelly Osbourne

Emma Watson

Amber Heard

Kristin Chenoweth

Reese Witherspoon

Whilst writing this post I've come to a conclusion that my top 2 were Maria and Reese's dresses! Infarcts their whole look was amazing and I absolutely loved them!! 

Did you have any favourites? Let me know in the comments:)

Also I would like to say a massive thankyou to http://lejla23ema34.blogspot.co.uk/ for mentioning me in their latest blogpost and nominating me for a Liebster Award (ooooh snazzy)! Check out the blogpost here http://lejla23ema34.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/pocascene-smo-we-are-honored.html?m=1 :)
