Younique!

I had been looking into the 3D fibre lash mascaras for a while, I had watched plenty of review videos and read numerous blogs so I looking into finding some to try. This was where I found out about becoming a presenter for younique. With this came a makeup kit which included the mascara I wanted to try plus plenty of other goodies to try so. With the opportunity to build your own business from it so I thought I would give it a go. As I could use the makeup to create reviews on for my blog!This was the lot I received I was so excited to try these products. Especially...

River Island purchases!

Finally got round to writing this blog!I had a little online retail therapy on River Islands's website. I was actually after the black and white leggings but as usual ended up purchasing a few more items!I'll start with the leggings. I have seen these for a while they are an amazing fit they are soo flattering I have wore them with a sleevless roll neck top and they are really comfortable. Think they will go with so many outfits as long as the top is kept fairly plain as they are quiet patterned which is not normally something that I would go for. These were...

Primark Trip!!

I haven't been online for a while due to been ill but a little retail therapy seems to have helped I had a trip to my local Primark mainly to pick up some basics I needed some more white vests as I wear them under practically everything and I love Primark vests they are such good value and really hold their shape. I also needed some socks, but like most trips to Primark I ended up with more items "falling" into my basket! The first other item was these shots we are no where near shorts weather in "sunny" England but I like to think we are nearly heading to some...

Today's Makeup

Defiantly had a different day out today. I went to Monkey world! Somewhere I have been meaning to go for a long time! Finally convinced my fiancé to take me! As to what to wear as it was extremely cold waking around the park all day!Look at this little guy! I could easily fill this blog post with so many cute monkeys!Hair was not much of an issue as I managed to get away with wearing a Beenie hat. My makeup I kept simple with my revlon colour stay and my urban decay naked 3 palette. I filled in my brows with the Maybelline brow satin then set my makeup with maybelline...

What's in my Vanity!!

I decided it was time to have a clean out of my vanity table as it had been neglected for a few weeks. I love re-organising things I end up finding things that I have forgotten about, and just don't used use any more! If I can get a better look at what I have got I just find it so much easier doing my imakeup in the morning!My vanity is from IKEA it is the Malm dresser. I had my eye on this for a while after a failed version I purchased from Argos. It was so flimsy it just did not feel safe! Or maybe I did have a little too much makeup to store inside! The chair...

Makeup Revolution Matt Palette

I happen to fall into superdrug the weekend and again saw the Makeup Revolution stand. I have one of these already that is an amazing dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette but this time the Matt palette caught my eye!  I gave it ago this morning and I have to say again for the price of £4 I think it's amazing. I still love my urban decay pallets but I think for everyday wear this is amazing! Especially as these are matts. I don't like wearing shimmery eyeshadow while I'm at work this is something I reserve for a more night time lookAs with the other Makeup...

Long loose waves

I have been trying different ways to achieve loose waves in my hair. I have achieved this look using the Babyliss Pro 38mm curling ironIt was so easy to use and because of the size of rh barrel I could curl a lot of hair in one go, which did make the whole process quick it was all curled in 10 mins which is really quick for me as I have a lot of hair!!I parted my hair in the centre which is not something that I would usually do but I think it looks better as I can curl the shorter pieces at the front both sides away from he face. I do have a slight side fringe cut...

Outfit of the day!!

It was another cold day again to... There's a surprise. Today I was running errands, going out to lunch and to a 4 year olds birthday party so needed something warm and comfortable  My boots were from misguided I had these around Christians time. They are actually really comfortable. They do come up big but this is actually a good thing for me as it means I can layer up the socks!! My wet look leggings are from Dorothy Perkins I have had these for a while but it's not something that I tend to wear alot but I think it breaks it up with the over the knee boots....

Everyday eye-makeup

Most mornings when I am getting ready for work I end up with a lot less time to do what I planned to do the night before mostly due to that snooze button!I have to find a quick way to do my makeup in the morning. I have to admit that most week days my makeup does not change very much!I have tried so many different foundations but the one that I have seemed to have stayed with for the longest lately is Revlon colourstay. I am currently using number 310. This does seem to last the longest and I do have some dryer patches in my face from time to time as I have some ezcema...

Lip care and longer lasting lipstick 👄

I am useless when it comes to lipstick, especially in the winter! I always seem to have chapped lips dispite carrying a bag full of different chopsticks and lip balms so finding any way of making my lipstick last a little bit longer is always welcomed. Obviously if all I am going to do all day is lick my lips not a lot will help but here are a few useful tips:I put on a lip balm every eve before I go to bed it has just become part of my night time routine. I do have a blistex intensive relief for when my lips are really bad, this does really work I can't recommend...

Quick Makeup Brush Guide

I have collected so many makeup brushes over the years, and there are so many available it can be confusing as to what should be used for what.I find that especially with eyeshadow brushes rhe best way is to experiment with different sizes to see which works best for you. For example I find bigger brushes better for blending but not for applying product as it normally ends up everywhere except for where I want it!This is just a quick reference quite that you may find usefulEm...

New Years Eve outfit

I had a somewhat quieter New Year's Eve this year it was spent with family and friends in a pub close to home, so my outfit was not that extravagant but I still love an opportunity to dress up!I actually found this top in the Lipsy sales after Christmas which was a nice findIt is a lovely flattering top but if like me you are not very blessed up top it required some body tape too keep it in place!I dressed this with some shiny black skinny jeans I had purchased from Dorothy Perkins some time agoAnd these shoes that were from Misshuided.co.uk early DecemberThese were...
