Blush and Mascara

So i dont use blush that often but i have started using it more and more frequently as i've been trying out different shades and brands etc. I had always used a victoria jackson shade until that ran out and i got rid of the compact it was in so i cant give you the shade name sorry! but it was a light pink with a bit on shimmer in it! I was finding it quite hard to find another one like it but i came across a collection 2000 one for £1.99 i think it was.

It has a cute floral pattern in the blush itself and it looks so lovely on my cheeks! It really suits my skin tone and adds a bit of colour to my look. Its shade 01 so pretty and it really is so pretty!

On my Eyelashes i tend to use 3 different mascaras i use 2 on a normal day and 1 when i'm going somewhere nice. So ill start with my day routine.

I always start with my top lashes and on them i use benefits bad gal lash which is the free sample out of a magazine last month but ill be buying myself a full size bottle when its running out for sure! I naturally have very long eye lashes so i like this as it seems to just add a bit of colour to my lashes rather than making them even longer than they already are. 

On my bottom lashes i use to use Almay until the other day when i discovered this lengthening mascara by N.Y.C. which as my bottom lashes aren't as long this is perfect as it adds more colour and a little bit of length. Although if i had short eyes lashes i wouldn't chose this to lengthen them because the difference is very minimal.

When im getting dressed up to go somewhere i don't use these mascaras as i prefer a more thicker heavier look on my eyelashes to make them stand out a bit more. To get this i use Rimmel's 'Extra Super Lash' with the curved wand. The curved wand allows to to make the eyelashes on out side of my eyes stand out that little bit more but at the same time have my inner eyelashes (closest to my nose) be slightly thicker so it gets thinner as they go out.

The only problem ive had with this is that it goes gunky fast so i've owned 3 bottles of it in the past 6 months but now im starting to consider looking for a new brand.

Lips

So i thought i would tell you what i usually put on my lips on a normal day. I use Collection 2000's peachy keen as it is a light colour, not to bold, and for £2.50 it is really good quality! The colour lasts as well which i'm glad about so i don't have to reapply it 10 times a day! Its in a cute pink casing. 

On top of lipstick i always were Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment which cost me £8.99 for 2x 25g tubes on bebay. This product is not avaiable in the stores in the Uk (not that i've been able to find anyway) but its like a magical cream! It can be used for anything really but i use it on my lips as it is shiny and if my lips are dry i put it on at night and i wake up the next morning and they are perfectly healthy again! I dont know what i would do without this its my must have product! I have 4 bottles just so i make sure i can have 2 at home and 2 in my handbag incase i cant find one. 

I recommend you get on ebay and get yourself some as it also comes in pots as well!

Eyeshadow hal!

I went out the other day looking to get some new eyeshadows but ended up coming home with a few more than intended because i thought id try out a few new ones!

I had never tried a 2true product before but decided to as a change, these cost me £1.99 each and i'm relatively pleased with them. They aren't something id wear daily as they are quite sparkly but they are pretty. Im sorry my photo is such bad quality! But on the left is shade 14 which is a silver and on the right is a white colour and its shade 10. When i do use these i tend to put the silver on and then put the white over the top as the white is slightly transparent so it adds a nice glitter affect.

I was in pound land when i spotted these, it was 2 for £1and they are excellent! If you see them in a pound land near you grab them they are so worth it! The colour on the left is called mystery and is a really dark green / dark silver colour and the shade on the right is called paradise is is peachy.

My photos haven't turned out to well but hopefully you get the idea. They are also quite thick so you don't need to use much at all so the tubs will last a very long time!

haven't actually used this yet but i am planning on using it tomorrow! I have heard so many good things about this palette so i just had to buy it! I am also hoping to get a few more of there palettes soon. This cost me £4 in Superdrug.

These are defiantly my favorite out of all of the eyeshadows I own! I got these on ebay brand new a while back and have only just started using them. The bigger pot is cashmere, and the smaller is smoke. I tend to go for for earthy colour's if you hadn't noticed as i find they are more flattering for my eyes. Ill show you a picture one day! These eyeshadows are almost like a cream and you only need to use the tiniest amount!

So they're all my favorite eyeshadows of the moment but i'm sure it will soon enough change!

Body Shop Make-up

So i decided to try something new as i was getting bored of the make-up that i had already. I had never tried the Body Shops make-up collection and heard it was quite good so i bought it all online. It came to £27 all together because i got 40 or 50% discount can remember now as it was a month or so back.

This is the Extra Virgin Minerals liquid foundation in 102 natural ivory and it works lovely on my skin! it matches perfectly and it doesn't look to thick and heavy! It makes my skin feel extra soft before i even add the other products to my skin, i recommend this to anyone who's looking to try a new brand as its not to pricy either. (RRP £14)

After applying this i use their compact foundation from the same range in shade 102 natural ivory again. (RRP £16) This is excelletent as it has a very soft look to it and again is not to thick and not to thin. i find that this makes my skin feel even softer than just having the liquid foundation on and gives me a flawless look!

After applying this i use the loose powder from the Extra Virgin Minerals range just as a finishing touch before i apply my bronzer, i am very happy with all the products from the range especially as this ensures that theses no shine left on my face from the compact or the liquid. (RRP £15) 

After i have finished with all of this i use the Body shop's Natures Minerals bronzer in shade 01, which i really like as it goes on so easily and its too dark (my camera makes it look so much darker than it is). My cheek bones are very defined so putting on bronzer isn't to hard for me and i usually go over it slights with a bit more loose powder to blend it on a bit more. (RRP £10) This bronzer is no longer available in the body shop.

Im going to make a post about my make up brushes i use soon as i have recently ordered ecotools brushes so watch out for that once they arrive!

Fifty Shades

So ive been reading these books (which i'm sure you've heard of) and they are so good! they might not be up everyones street of reads but i'm obsessed. I am about halfway through the second one now and i am not someone who usually reads!

If you haven't heard of them the series is about a very wealthy man who has some odd but kinky ways about him. He gets involved with a girl and thats all i'm going to say because i don't want to ruin this for anyone! I strongly recomend you start reading them now!

So if you haven't got them yet GO GO GO! 

Soap & Glory Products

I have slowly been growing my collection on Soap and Glory products.
So far i have 1 of their products but i'm always looking to get more.
Im going to do a quick review on each of them.
- Heel Genius - I love this, i always put it on before i go to sleep and my feet feel so soft in the morning!
- Clean Mary, Cleaning Milk - i find this great for getting my makeup off, or if i feel like i just want to freshen up, its quick and easy to use!
- Hand Food - Carry it almost everywhere with me! I use it all the time i would never use another hand moisturizer again and discovering this!
- Flake Away - I actually used this for the first time today, my legs feels so soft now and i followed by using my body butter
- Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser - im not as impressed with this as i expected to be, for some reason i had the idea in my mind that it would get hot when it was on my skin but that didn't happen so it kind of let me down.
- Hair Supply - i love this! I use it once a week as a hair treatment and my hair always smells and feels lovely after using it.
- Scrub Your Nose In it - This make me feel so fresh! i would recommend this i don't have problem skin but love using it. It makes me feel that bit cleaner.
- Greatest Scrub Of All - i use this every 2 - 3 days as a tough scrub for my face but as i said i dont have problem skin although i do get dry skin so this really helps!
- Return to Slender Body Contouring Gel - i love the cooling feeling of this, i recommend it to anyone going to the beach or on holiday! its got a cooling sensation, I use this on my stomach and thighs.
- Slim Wear - This is for cellulite, although i don't have any i use it as a precaution and i do love it. Its just so smooth!
- The Daily Smooth Body Butter - i use this daily after i shower and my skin really has been different since i started using it!

I do share a room with my boyfriend note the diesel body spray!

Nail Art

So i have just randomly become obsessed with doing my nails!
I decided to order so lovely stick on nail decorations and they really are cute! They were so cheap as well as i picked them up on amazon!
I started by doing a base coat using Maybelline's 'express finish, shade 10, base and top coat'

I definitely recommend this as it has worked perfectly and im very happy with the outcome! This cost me £2.29 on ebay. (i buy almost everything on ebay)

I let this dry and then applied a Sally Hansen nail polish which i picked up as a bargain for £1! I am so happy with this purchase the other nail polish pictures is also Sally Hansen and cost me £1 but my camera is shocking!

Once the pink had dried a applied the decorative stickers which are white with blue gems in them. Will show you a picture soon :)

I went over the stickers with a very pale pink (the other Sally Hansen nail polish) and then went over this with the Maybelline express finish to ensure the stickers will last longer.

The photo above shows the final outcome. Im loving my nails right now and encourage you to try this as its not hard and looks lovely!
