February Favourites!

Hello Everyone,

Its the end of the shortest month of the year and as many beauty bloggers out there may also notice 2 or 3 days seems to make a heck of a difference, i don't have a lot of products to share with you today however there have been a few that have stood out to me this month, expect this to be a very short post hehe!

I finally caved in and tried out the rimmel wake me up foundation, everyone and their dog have raved about this but for some reason i just got stuck in a rut with the rimmel match perfection and didn't think it would be as good. I picked up the shade light porcelain which is unfortunately my skin colour at the moment due to lack of sunshine here in England, after using it for the past week i have noticed it is a lighter coverage and have had to build it up on my red patches around my nose and cheeks however i think it is a very natural and glowy foundation and i have enjoyed using it. I have also realised that it has incredible staying power and certainly lasts longer than previous foundations i have used. I look forward to carrying on using this and also purchasing a darker shade when we get some sun ( i am so happy its nearly spring! i am not a winter lover!)

This sleek blush in rose gold has been a repurchase as towards the end of summer last year it fell off my dressing table and smashed everywhere on the floor which upset me immensely, it is a gorgeous blush highlight and goes with many looks, i feel that it adds that perfect lift to the cheeks and really brightens up the face. I am glad to have this back in my life!

I have recently been getting very dry skin and this Garnier moisture match is a gel like cream i have been loving applying this at night, it has completely sorted out my skin this month and i have nothing more to say about this but it is a great moisturiser.

Lastly, this is what i have been using all month to apply my base makeup with, it is a beauty blender, I like to run it under the tap and squeeze out as much water as possible and then use it in tapping motions to apply my foundation and blend in my concealer. It blends everything so well and has been a new favourite for me throughout the month.

Hope you enjoyed this post

Having Confidence

Hello Everyone,

Today i am talking about a very sensitive subject all about having confidence and believing in yourself.

I am a strong believer in being able to do anything if you put your heart and soul into it and believe in yourself, I'm by no means saying that i never get worried about the worst things that could happen and thinking i cant do things however the times when I've believed in myself the situation becomes a lot better.

Source 

Some tips i find work well:

1) Know your strengths:

We always focus on the things we cant do and fail at but if you focus on the things you are confident in you will feel better about yourself and when you go to do these things you will instantly remember 'i don't need to worry, this is a strength of mine' Try writing down a list of all these things and you will feel so much better about yourself.

2) Appear confident:

It is proved that appearing confident can easily improve your actual confidence. if you feel that fake tan makes you feel happy and confident, wear it no matter what other people think if you feel confident in it you will appear confident. Just like makeup if you feel better wearing makeup than being bare faced then just do it, i think we all think about what others think of us way too much and this shouldn't be the case as it is your life no one else's.

3) Having me time:

There is no doubt that after having a pamper evening you feel so much better about yourself and like before said this will radiate out as confidence, so treat yourself! It will pay off

I hope this helped some of you if you're feeling a bit down at the moment

I'm no expert but i just thought i would share what works for me 

Hope you enjoyed

Mini Haul!

Hello Everyone, 

I have to admit i brought these and wrote this post around 2 weeks ago and it didnt go up when sceduled so im very sorry but here it is.. 

A mini haul...

So, recently i did my first ever make-up job for two ladies who were going to a charity ball event and i was super nervous but completed it well and i was relieved to hear them say they loved it.

To reward myself i went out and spent my earnings straight away which i probably shouldnt have but oh well it was well earned right?!

I had to go straight into waterstones and see if they had also released tanyas book eraly like some other stores that had and when iw alked in there it was woooo!! i was very happy and tweeted tanya right away to support her and her book, whilst in matalan with mom i had a notification i tjought i would never seee! TANYA FAVOURITED MY TWEET sayy whaattt?! made my day and from the few chapters i have read already she has doen a super job!! GO TANYA!

After hearing Amelia Liana going on about this a lot i caved in and finally purchased it as i had ran out of hot cloth cleanser, i cant wait to try it out and see if it lives up to Amelia's praises.

(sorry about the very poor photography)

I also picked up this collection work that colour cream eyeshadow in hot chocolate and an excited to give it a whirl!

Hope you enjoyed this shorter post

January Favourites!

Hello Everyone,

Its already February what?! where did that go? 

Here's all my beauty favourites from the fastest month ever... January!

You may have seen this pop up on the blog over the last month and it has now come to the point where i haven't walked out the door without spraying this on top of my makeup. It's from MUA and is a make-up setting spray which isn't pricey at all but manages to do the job. At only £5 i would recommend you all to try it.

In January i fell in love with cream eyeshadow sticks and love how quick they are to use, they are perfect if you are in a rush and look like you have spent ages on your eye makeup. My two favourites are the scandal eyes stick in bluffing and the collection stick in hot chocolate.

This mac lipstick in plumful has been the perfect pick me up January shade, it is a lustre formula and feels very creamy on the lips and as you can imagine is very pigmented.

This Avon fragrance was a Christmas present and came at just the right time as i had ran out of my number one Next blanc perfume. It is the 'Luck for her' and has an amber floral scent which is right up my street and i will definitely be repurchasing!

In January i ran around my local super drug searching high and low for a 'do me for now' concealer and instantly grabbed this as it was the matching one for the rimmel foundation i am using at the moment, i have since been in love with it and i go a bit crazy and apply it nearly all over the face but i just find it brightens my face so well! It is my new favourite and it pleases me immensely that i have the matching base products hehe

Now this ones a bit insane and i definitely don't look my best whilst using this technique but once finished it looks amazing and very feminine, using sellotape from my bottom lash line up towards my brow whist doing my eyeshadow blending and eyeliner has made everything so easy this month and it is most certainly a technique i will carry on using for a long time, if you have trouble with liquid eyeliner or blending eyeshadow try this it will change your life.

Just one non-beauty favourite, you may have spotted it in the background of these pictures, but Zoe Sugg's new 'girl online' novel is the bomb. It is the best book i have ever read and as soon as i had finished it i wanted to pick it straight back up and start again. If you are currently reading it you are going to love it and if you have not yet brought it GO! you wont regret it WELL DONE ZOE!!!
