Beauty Haul!

Hello Lovelies!

Firstly, sorry for the lack of posts! I've been terribly busy with my exam revision and spending time at home with my family and my boyfriend. 

But all is not lost! I've done a little bit of a haul today - yay!

I've been a little bit naughty today and popped into the MAC counter in Debenhams  I've been wanting a foundation that was to match my skin tone properly for a long time, and after one of my close friends telling me about her going into MAC and they matched a few foundations to her skin, I thought I would go myself and see what they could do for me!
The lady who helped me out was called Lydia, if I remember correctly.
She had the most fantastic make-up I've seen for a long time. She firstly sat me down and asked me about what my skin was like, oily or dry. My skin has always been quite dry so I've always needed to use a good moisturiser. She told me MAC have a moisturiser that will do wonders for my skin called Complete Comfort Cream
She buffed this into my skin, and then used the Prep + Prime Skin on top of the moisturiser. I like quiet a matte finish foundation rather than dewy, so Lydia recommended I try the Studio Fix Fluid in NW13. This gave a very good coverage to which I liked very much. I asked her about adding a little colour to my face as I am very fair skinned. She added Mineralize Skinfinish Natural to contour my face which looked lovely!

After all this, I was very happy to purchase the item I tried.
She was lovely enough also to give me 2 small sample pots of the primer and moisturiser.



After being at MAC I also popped down to Boots to get some bits and bobs.
I ended up coming back with the following;


1. Collection 2000 Fast Stroke eyeliner in black.
2. Rimmel Professional eyebrow pencil in dark brown.
3. Boots simply sensitive eye makeup remover.
4. Natural Collection blusher in peach melba.
5. Boots dark chocolate brown permanent hair dye.

Finally I also bought a new pair of high waisted jeans from New Look in a size smaller than I previously was, so yay for weight loss!

See you all soon!

Get Your Glamour On!

I'm forever routing round in my mams nail polish box to find new colours to try out and I fell in love with this very coral red colour!

I'm a huge lover of all the OPI nail polishes.
I always, always without a doubt use the OPI base and top coat they're wonderful, but with being at home at the moment I didn't have these to hand!
So instead I "borrowed" my mams OPI Nail Envy, and also their Rapidry Top Coat.
I'm very tempted to buy the Rapidry top coat as mine has started to become gloopy! (if anyone has any tips to stop this from happening, let me know!)

I was going to add the OPI white shatter on top of the "Get Your Glamour On" and changed my mind mid way through!
But the end result is shown below. Its such a pretty colour! 
I genuinely love OPI nail polishes and feel they're very good value for money, so if you haven't tried any of the products before you will not be disappointed!


Thank-you lovelies!

Kate Moss 107 Lipstick!

Hello everyone!

After looking through my lipsticks, I've decided to do a product review on my favourite Kate Moss Lipstick. She has two different ranges; the normal lipsticks and also the matte collection.

My favourite Kate Moss matte collection is number 107.
It is a deep red colour and looks like this on the lips.

Method of applicaton
  1. I use Topshops lip marker in the colour Paradade as a base.
  2. I then use Topshops lip liner in the colour Deception.
  3. I finally apply the lipstick over top to create the final look.





I recommend this lipstick so much, the liner helps a lot as it smudges sometimes but overall It is my favourite lipstick thus far!

Hello Lovelies!

So after much consideration, I've decided I want to set up my own blog that linked to YouTube maybe. Something similar to the ones I am pretty much addicted to watching every single day. Three of the main people who have inspired me to do this are ...


Zoe!

Louise!

Sam!
YouTube

Over the past few months these are always the YouTubers I've gone to watch their videos. I love that they make haul, tutorial, general life, outfit of the day, product reviews, favourites videos. I feel this is somewhat of a potential project for me to carry out.

Considering I love experimenting with makeup, hair styles and outfits; I thought it would be perfect to start making my own videos and blog as I feel I don't do anything productive with my spare time. Other than watch stupid amounts of programmes online; I'm not even kidding ... last week I watched the entire season 2 of New Girl in a day; 19 episodes ... It's just not healthy and I'm shocked I haven't got square eyes from it really!

This may take me a while to get started but its something I plan on doing. I need to get to grips with editing videos and what not first before I get ahead of myself.

If any of you lovely people want to recommend me any other beauty and/or fashion blogs or Youtubers then just pop a comment below!
