November Favourite's...

Hello Everyone,
Welcome back to my little blog, I know it's been far to long since i wrote on this... WOOPSIE, but I thought I would do another little favourite's post since there have been a few thing's that I have adored over the past month or so. I hope you see something you like! I'll link everything below so you can have a look! Happy shopping!

NUXE paris' Masque creme fraiche de beaute masque - This mask is literally so easy and dreamy, you can just apply this all over your face and either leave on for the night or you can let it sit for 10 minutes or so and wipe away any access with a tissue. It's so hydrating and lovely, my skin approved and feel's so much better since I've started using this. Strongly recommend to anyone who's skin is feeling especially thirsty.

Chanel vitalumier aqua foundation- Now this is kind of an old favourite of mine, its a silky liquid foundation which gives a nice light coverage, my skin had been playing up a little so I had kind of been putting this one aside for a higher coverage foundation, but since my skin has improved I have been reaching for this all the time, it's so light and makes you feel like you aren't wearing any make up whilst still giving you a sense of security with the dewy finish.

Laura Mercier foundation primer- I have always been very skeptical on primers and never really got the hype of them to be honest, but I got this in a subscription box and have been using it every time i wear make up now, it truly works and doesn't leave my face feeling like greasy mess either which is a massive bonus.

MeMeMe beat the blues pearl pink- This is pretty much an exact dupe for benefits high beam and less than half the price! It works really well, I use this on the tops of my cheekbones, brow bone and on my cupids bow, it gives a lovely glow to your skin highlighting in subtle not shimmery way.

Zara Woman Oriental- This perfume is DIVINE, such a perfect winter scent, I'm not the best at explaining smells but it's amazing, get it, AND it's only £10!

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess- My favourite bronzer ever in the entire world of bronzers. It's amazing. I have it in Light.

Tanya Burr lip gloss in Aurora- such a pretty subtle plum pink, really pretty on it's own for a no makeup makeup kinda day.

Shu uemura eye pencil in hard 9- Perfect shade for my blonde brows, the angled head makes shading in your brows pretty much effortless.

Mac extra dimension blush in autoerotique- Super pretty gold/pink shade, adds the perfect flush to your cheeks, great pigmentation you only need a light hand! 

Have an amazing day you pretty little pretties.

Evening beauties,
Now I have been absolutely OBSESSED with the colours orange and coral pink, they are so prefect for summer and super flattering with a tan.. which I do not have right now. BUT I WILL. Anyway.... I just wanted to share with you my 3 favourite products in these colours right now. Two are orange toned and one is coral:) I'm also going to be doing a make up look using some of them on here soon, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested!

This is eye shadow is called texture and it's from mac, I love, love, love it. It's such a beautiful colour and the orange tone in it really flatters my eye colour (hazel) so I would highly recommend this. I wear it on it's own or with a darker a brown in the crease.

.  

On the left is a rouge allure lipstick from Chanel in the colour Pimpante. This colour is so stunning it's a slightly coral pink with a faint shimmer. Again it's very flattering and hydrating on your lips. On the right is a lipstick from Topshop in the colour Charmed. I love this lipstick, It's totally out of my comfort zone as it's very bright and has a matte finish, but for this colour I just had to make an exception. Utterly lovely. Go and get it! I know you want too ;) 

 (On the left Charmed, On the right is Pimpante)

I hope you all had an amazing weekend and I'll speak to you soon!

MAAAAHISIVEEE LOVE

Lazy day make up

Good evening,

I thought I would do a post on a natural makeup look today. Now it's pretty obvious how much I love anything beauty, but there is nothing nicer than wearing little to no makeup, so I thought I would share with you all what I use when I'm having a bit of a lazy face day. 

Skin: Chanel Aqua foundation

Macs fleur blush, The body shops honey bronzer and mimimi pearl beam for my cheek bones (perfect dupe for benefits high beam, so much cheaper!)

Eyes: Mac eyeshadow in the colour texture lightly in my crease and l'oreal telescopic mascara.

I hope you all had the best day

Let's be friends.

Hello all,

Its been a little while since I last wrote anything on here so I thought it was about time I did. This post doesn't really have much rhyme or reason to it but it's more of me just having a bit of blab to you all (my laptop screen..while sitting alone) Recently I have been noticing a lot of "funny" photos about the female body. Now I'm not going to sit here and preach at everyone like I have never felt self conscious or that I don't sometimes look in the mirror and just think "WHY CHOCOLATE WHY?" but I really do feel disappointed in the way women in general (not all) are towards each other regarding weight and looks. It's just kind of crazy to me how we all go through so much of the same stuff, know how painful it all is, yet throw insults at each other regarding how we look. COME ON LADIES. Sitting back and making photos about what "men really like" and having a photo of a woman who is on the slender side of the scale slated about being too thin and not "womanly" and then on the other side "male sexual fantasy come true" a curvaceous woman. Seriously? how on earth can you come up with something like that? Its pretty obvious that we are all women, look down and you'll see. Surely it's not that important to either be all "abbed out" or have curves. Aren't all these things attractive in their own way? And surely each man would have his own individual taste on what he likes, and SURELY if he liked a girl a lot he would most likely love her body whatever anyway? AND does it really matter that much what men think? When I feel like being healthier or to loose weight, I don't have it in my head that I want to look a certain way because I want men to fancy me or so that I can take a photo of it to make sure everyone can see how my body's doing because obviously so many people will care about that. No I do it because I want to feel good about myself and look in the mirror and think "yeah, okay you look better than yesterday" HA.  But no seriously I just think that maybe if we all could just look in the mirror and appreciate that we are all different in so many way's and embrace it, Girl world would be a much more friendlier place. Be who you are and be proud of it. No one will ever be you again, so you might as well enjoy it while your here. 

Could I be any wiser? Probably not. I hope you all had the BEST day.

Gold smokey eye

I was having a play around this morning and thought I would show you a gold smokey eye look I came up with!
Eyes- I started with a paint pot from mac in the colour bare study as a base all over the lid. I then went over this with urban decays half baked eye shadow from the naked palette. I then took Smog from the palette and used this in my crease blending it into the half baked colour, keeping it at the edges. I then took Bewitched also from urban decay over the top of smog in the outer corner for more definition. I then  just got a nice fluffy brush and blended the colours together making sure I left no harsh lines! After everything was all smoothed out I went in with Rimmels scandal eyes liner in Noir and created a cat eye line. Then adding a tiny bit of macs vanilla pigment I put this under my brow bone very lightly. I took bewitched and ran in under my eye, using my finger to blend it in. Adding a little liner in my water line I used urban decays 24/7 liner in whiskey. Lastly I coated my lashes in plenty of mascara! I used maybeline's the rocket. 

February favourite's!

Yay! So it's the last day of February and I thought I would do a post about my favourite beauty related products this month! 

1. NARS blush in orgasm-This blusher is a dreammmmm come true, It's a lovely baby pink with a soft shimmer. Sweeped on the apples of your cheek it will give you that beautiful rosy glow without making you look like a disco ball!

2.Urban decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil in the colour Whiskey- This eyeliner is super, super creamy and easily blendable, so if your'e wanting a soft brown smokey eye this is perfect for that! I also love using this in my water line as a less harsh line that black would make. 

3.Chanel rouge allure lipstick in the colour Pimpante- This beautiful lipstick is perfect for spring/summer its a shimmery orange/pink toned lipstick that is a lovely alternative if you often go for a brown toned nude colour, this will be a little different without scaring you off!

4.MAC pro long wear paint pot in the colour Bare study- This is just such a beautiful base! I use this in place of a primer and it's just divine! Not to sticky or drying it keeps my eye shadow on for hours and enhances the colours really nicely! I will use this in the inner corners of my eyes as a highlight also!

5.MAC vanilla pigment- Now, this product is pretty much a one use kind of product to me, but I love it. I will use this under my brow bone and in the inner corners of my eyes. This is a much stronger highlight than the paint pot but is still utterly lovely. 

6. Maybelline masts kajal kohl liner in pitch black- Such a lovely thick and so easy to apply eye liner, super creamy and easily blendable! Cheaper alternative to the urban decay one! 

7. Maybelline the rocket volum' express mascara- LOVE LOVE LOVE! I have little to no eye lashes and this mascara makes me and other people believe otherwise. Love it, love it. 

8.Emma Hardie amazing face moringa cleansing balm- This is probably my favourite product of the bunch! Utterly luxurious but worth the price 100% This balm leaves my skin feeling nourished, hydrated and so, so smooth! Highly recommend this to people who are also lazy at taking their make up off! 

9.V05 plump it up amplifying blow dry lotion- This is yummy smelling and gives my hair much needed volume. It also doesn't leave any noticeable residue in my hair which makes me a big fan.

10.Aloe moisturizing lotion from Forever- I started using this moisturizer a few weeks ago, and I honestly don't think I could ever use anything else again! It's got a lovely texture, not to thick, not too thin and you can really notice the difference it makes after using it only a few times. It didn't break me out at all and left my skin feeling lovely and smooth.

11.NARS sheer glow foundation- I love healthy, glowing looking skin, and as I suffer from slightly thirsty skin I will always be on the look out for a foundation that will really compliment my skin type without making me look like a greasy mess! This foundation is perfect for me, It has buildable coverage which I really like and really good lasting power. 

12. Simple kind to skin moisture boost hydro mist- Now this was such a random buy, I was just in superdrug browsing around, pretending to need lot's of thing's when I found this. It intrigued me, and at first I was slightly (a lot) skeptical about it working, but I have been pleasantly surprised by this little bottle of magic! The mist itself is really refreshing and makes you feel like you just washed your face, you can spray it on even with makeup and it doesn't smudge anything, AND it does genuinely improve the levels of moisture your skin has, which I would obviously be a big fan of! 

Woaaah now that was a lot of stuff! Sorry for the ramble but i thought it would be nice to share the things i love, as i love a good recommendation! 

I hope you all had a lovely month

BIG LOVE
