New Makeup Goodies


Hello angels ♡ 
There have been a few bits & bobs that I have needed to replace lately, makeup wise. The first thing I am going to talk about is the product I did treat myself to, or should I say Boots treated me to! 2 Loreal Paris products for £14? Yes please. I dived straight in and got a fab bargain which made me happy last week hehe!


This is the eyeshadow palette...that I didn't need... (woops)! It was so pretty thought couldn't resist, and for such a good price to. The colours are beaut! Can't wait to play with it and post up YouTube tutorials :) x

L'Oréal Paris La Palette



Now this was something I desperately needed to replace..my bronzer! The Topshop one is near as dammit run out and because I would give it only about 6/7 out of 10 I was aiming on not getting the same one again. I was looking at Bobbi Brown but again, Im trying to save my money so didn't wanna splash out! I said to myself, "Don't get a bronzer over £20" !! This was included in the 2 items for £14 so wooopeee!

L'Oreal Glam Bronze Duo Sun Powder Brunette


It has two levels in it, the lovely colours at the top which can be mixed for an overall coloured bronzer, or the lighter shade can be used for highlighting the cheek bone, and then the brown shade for bronzer, which I think I will do :) and under the powder is a mirror with a brush, dunno if I will use the brush tho, not a big fan of the tiny useless ones that come with these products! :p


I was keen on getting a proper highlighter for the T zone area of my face, to add a bit of glam & shine :) I can across this on Revolution Cosmetics and was only £2...insane! great reviews I just couldnt say no, now I use it all the time! adds the perfect amount of shimmer to your face :)
The other product is also from Revolution, now this is a dark brown eye shadow, however I use it for a lot more other things! I use it for my eyes and eye brows, also as a bronzer. I only use this when I am tanned because it ads a nice dark edge under your bronzer :) Oh and did I mention it was only £1?


Because I was mind blown by the price of the Revolution products I got a full face powder and concealer. Here is my new powder in Porcelain and my new Foundation which is called Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in shade 53 - from Feel Unique. This is such a beautiful foundation, goes on lovely and smooth, great coverage and feels light on the skin, the colours is also the perfect shade and adds a creamy brightness to my face :)



The last few items, Revolution Focus & Fix Concealer in Fair and my Estee Lauder Lipstick in 54 Passion Fruit Shimmer. These are fab buys, the concealer is amazing, lighter than my foundation which i love because when dabbed in using my real technique contour brush it adds alot of highlight under my eyes - which I need a lot of due to the winter, early mornings!  
The lipstick is really nice, not thick and bold, it is lovely and thin and adds glitter to the lips which is cute :) x

Random Beauty Favouties

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey guys! Havne't posted in a while so I thought it would be a cute idea to show yous my current beauty faves!


I LOVE moisturisers. I think I moisturise a bit too much, which is apparently bad for the skin because you block up your pours! But I just love that nice soft feeling on my skin and I love smelling nice.
My fave moisturiser at the moment is the TED BAKER LONDON "Orchid Body Souffle" It smells lovely!! and sinks in super fast leaving my skin feeling really nice! :)




Another moisturiser now...for the lips! This time of year because of the sun my lips get a bit dry. Now we are heading towards the colder seasons it won't get any better. However I came across this cute little lip balm that keeps them lovely and hydrated. :) It smells & tastes really nice! It also adds a little pinky red colour when applied and isn't sticky at all - nice and light for your lips!





The Cath Kidston lip balm is also a winner, the "Blossom" one smells and tastes of marzipan! It is transparent so doesn't add any colour, which is great if you want to apply this over or under a specific lipstick colour for extra hydration.



I love cute, subtle eyeshadows, especially at the time of the year before autumn/winter kicks in. I found this MAXFACTOR colour at the back of my drawers. The label has been ripped off so no idea on the colour title, but it is a light purple shade which once on looks shimmery and cute. It is a very light colour that you can experiment with! Adding darker or lighter shades to give an overall bold effect.






The next thing is my Urban Decay Eye Shadow Lotion Base. This is a fab product which you apply on your eye area. It gives a great highlighting effect to make your eyes pop! :)
Here - I have used it over my RIMMEL LONDON "Soft Beige" Foundation which I gently put on my eye lid and surrounding area. I then used darker brown tones in the corners and edges to highlight the center of my eyelid where the URBAN DECAY product is placed.

 





Now on to the Lips! I can't go anywhere without some lippy, I always go for the reddy pink ones. I have been using this one a lot lately, it is the MAXFACTOR "510 English Rose" and it is a beautiful shade. It isn't too bold, just add a int of reddy shimmer to your lips. :)




My new favourite brush is the TOO FACED "Kabuki Brush." This is the softest brush I have ever had. Incredibly soft!!! It is lovely and gentle on my skin, great at mixing in blushers, powders or bronzers to give an overall non patchy flawless look.





And the last thing is my body spray, I have so many! Can't stop buying help me hehe. The TED BAKER ones are beautiful. They smell lovely and fresh & last all day. Sometimes when I pick my clothes off the floor they still smell of the spray a few days later! I definitely recommend them - you can buy them at Boots in a TED BAKER gift set along with body lotions etc or separately. :)

A Cute Little Summer.



Hello my lovelys! I have done a small, cute summery look for you today. This time of year you want to wear something cute, showing off your tanned skin! Light colours are the best colours to do so, white and pastel colours are my favourite. The pastels are really on trend at the moment! Summer is all about having fun and enjoying the weather, so you might as well do it in style. Has to be something that is comfortable and breezy. High waisted shorts are always super cute with a crop top.

  
It is such a nice look showing your back! you can get backless bras from M&S if you feel umcomfy going without a bra. There are so many crop tops from Missguided & Boohoo that are really figure hugging! Great for the sunny weather. Mine is from Hollister, I love the cute flowery straps at the back. 


These shorts are from Missselfridge, such a great buy! Love love love them. The sequins give a beautiful detailed appearance and the soft pink goes great with any light colour! You can wear these for a day out shopping with your friends or for a night out. :) They are figure hugging at the top and compliment your waist really nicely, and then they get lose at the bottom! Super classy & comfy.




The accessories I am wearing is a two-in-one ring from TOPSHOP, a cute loom band, my TOPSHOP gold watch and my new H&M dark leopard sunglasses. I love wearing sunglasses even when it isnt sunny lol, a classy accessory in your hair to keep it out your eyes! :p




Jewellery is important for completing a summery, holiday outfit, but has to be worn right! If you have a plain dress, go for a beautiful big necklace with colour, however if you are wearing something with many patterns it is best not too have too much going on! I am wearing something small and thin so you want to match the necklace to this. So I have gone with my simple but pretty H&M heart necklace. Here is the matching anklet -



This one is from H&M, it was along side the necklace, in a £1 sale - how can I say no to that! In the next pic I am showing you my Fern Cotton Nude nail polish to, I think the nude and pastel nail polish colours are fab for the summer. Ok so the next thing I am going to focus on are my sandles. You have to have at least 100000 pairs for the summer! ;) There are so many gorgeous shoes everywhere and anywhere. Shoes from Silver Dapple - the white & gold give such a classy look and enhance your golden tan!



Next up is the makeup, you don't want to have alot on, do a nice natural look! I have my "A Pink Summer" look on, with some added gold glitter eye liner from Urban Decay. :) 





Here are some more pics of the overall look! :) x
