July Favourties

So after being away from this for the past six months I thought it would be a good time to maybe give it another go, I'm sorry for not posting but I've just had things on or I've been busy, but don't worry I'm back so lets go

The first make up item that I have been loving is the Loreal Paris Infallible stay fresh foundation and I am in love. This foundation is a full coverage foundation and I wouldn't recommend it being used over the summer but it is good for nights out.

 

Secondly is the Dior Lip Maximizer  collagen active lip gloss and I love this, I like to put this on while I do my make up which by the way can take between 10-50 minutes depending on what i'm doing that day.

 

Up next is setting spray and I love this one hence why its in my favourites. its the Maybelline Super Stay 24 hour spray I love putting this on after I've put on my foundation so that my make up lasts all day.

 

Now I never talk about brushes but I am 100% in love with this one. Its the Morphe 510 and is fantastic for highlighting

 

Lastly is this razor now ive spoken about this one before so there is no point in me telling you about it but for those of you who cant be bothered to look back and find it this is the Wilkinson Sword Intuition Sensitive Natural Razor and it is amazing. This as I've said before has changed the way I shave.

 

I know this blog isn't as long as some of the ones I've done but I'm trying to get myself back into this after being away for so long

So until next time

Stay Beautiful

Collective Haul

So I know I said in my last post that you would be getting 3 blogs this week and we'll you will. As you can tell from the title I have been shopping...again. 

I am currently sitting in a Costa coffee typing this on my new keypad I bought for my iPad as I always have my iPad with me so maybe blogging on it will be easier...the only problem is the pictures....with that being said lets get started

So the first place I decided to go was boots, as some of you know I'm a MAC Cosmetics girl and since Im running out of my favourite foundation I decided that I would pick up a new one until I have enough money to get my Mac one and as you can see I got the Maybelline New York Dream Satin liquid in the shade light porcelain and this is the perfect dupe for the MAC studio Fix Foundation which is the one I use any way. Would you guys like me to do a blog post on campus dupes? I mean I know a lot of people have done them but would you guys say to me doing one? 

Now I love my eyebrows but how many of you like me hate filling them in everyday? So while I was in boots I decided that i would pick up the Eylure London Pro Brow Dybrow Dye Kit in dark brown. Now I have never used something like this before so I'm not going to lie I am a wee bit nervous about using this as it can either look really good or really shit. I will probably use this tonight and I will let you know how I get on.

Lastly from boots is this bad boy below. Now I hate shaving my legs yep I said one of the things girls shouldn't admit to but since it's my blog I might as well tell you guys right? Now if you're wondering what this is it is the Wilkinson sword Intuition Sensitive care Blades. This bad boy has changed the way I shave forever it's basically a razor and soap in one. All you do is change the blade everything you use it up and that's you...I think this was about 6.11? I can't remember but when I do all the prices will be down below. 

The next place I headed to is Superdrug. Now I don't know why but I have been trying to find the NYC translucent powder since December and can I find it? No I can't but the one that I did pick up is one that I have been using forever and that is the collection Sheer Loose powder and I did also pick up the Pressed powder because just like my foundation I'm running out, but don't worry it's in my MAC basket which I will hopefully be buying next week, But these powders are amazing I use the sheer powder to set my concealer and I just use the pressed to set my foundation. 

Up next is Claire's now I know Claire's is for kids but you do pick up some decent things I only went in to have a look but I came away with a new phone case ( not that I need one as I have my Michael Kors one ) but I saw this one and had to get it. It is this gorgeous flower ombré case, as you can see it goes from dark blue to this gorgeous mid toned pink and I love it.

 Since they were having a 3 for 2 I decided that I would pick up this head band which I have had before but I think I lost it or it got thrown out so why not get a new one right?

Lastly from Claire's is there earrings with loads of different animals on them. I have my first and second lobes done so I think these will look cute in them.

Last but not least is Currys and PC world. As I said in the beginning it's easier for me to have my iPad on me rather then a laptop because the iPad you can charge throw in your bag and you're good to go but with a laptop you need a big bag and your charger...and that's never fun when you have a small/medium handbag and a massive laptop. So I decided that I would pick up a key pad and honestly I love it already. Next to buying my laptop this wee guy will be with me every time I have my iPad with me the only problem is, is that it means my iPad will be out of its cover.

I have been thinking about doing a what's on my iPad but I'm not sure yet...what do you guys think?

I would honestly love to hear what you guys think to all my blog ideas.

 

That's all for my collective haul so until next time stay beautiful

January Favourites

So aren't you guys lucky three blogs in a week, im doing these now as I am going to be busy over the next few days so I thought I would get most of this done now and ready for you...I know its early but I thought I would tell you what ive been loving this month (im typing this on the 16th).

The first thing I've been loving this month is The Collection Extereme 24 hour felt tip liner and this is honestly one of the best liners I've used. Its perfect for getting the perfect cat eye...what would you guys say to me doing a video on how I do my eye liner?

 

Another thing I've been loving is MAC lip liners. These wee babies are amazing they do last and can be worn on their own. The ones I have been loving are Edge to Edge, Soar and Hip n Happy. As you can see they are different shade and work so amazingly under lipsticks.

 

Up Next is Lipstick I think I bought this one late December or maybe even on boxing day but its been the one that I have been grabbing the most recently. This is Brave by MAC and its this gorgeous Pink/Beige colour and looks amazing on any skin tone. I like to pair this with Soar for that Kylie Jenner esk lip.

 

I think ive put these in the wrong order but I might as well just keep going with it anyway..so up next is Vaseline and I love putting this on before I apply my lip liner as I feel it goes on a lot easier. Im also thinking about putting wee gems on mine just to make it more fancy, what do you guys think?

 

 

As some of you know I am a massive fan of Zoella so when I went shopping at Christmas time I decided that I would pick up her latest scent called Lets Spritz...don't ask me to describe the smell because this is the one thing I am rubbish at...but it does smell amazing.

 

 

Another one that Ive been loving is one from Zara in the scent Cherry Candy and this honestly does smell like Cherries and Candy but candy floss candy if that makes sense. This one does last all day unlike a lot of the other ones I have used in the past.

 

Up next is a nail polish now I think ive only ever spoken about one nail polish on this blog and to this day I still love it but I have been getting my nails recently so I haven't really been wearing nail polish but when I have its been this one.This is as you can see one by Models Own and its in the shade Cashmere Rose.

 

How would you guys feel about me doing a nails of the month blog? its just something ive been thinking about but I would honestly would love to hear what you guys think. Im getting my nails done on Tuesday (19th) so if you like I'll leave my instagram below so you guys can check them out and let me know what you think and what nails I should get done next.

December Favourites

Hey Guys so I'm back with another blog after some much needed time off and what better way to start a new blog is with a December Favourites. I know its late as we are half way through January but better late than never right?

So my first favourite of December has been my Mac Studio Fix Foundation in the shade NW10 and you might think this is very light but I am honestly this pale. What I love about this foundation is that its medium to full coverage foundation but very buildable. It is also has a satin finish but you can put a powder on top for a more matte finish.

To go along with my foundation I have been using is my Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NW15 I decided to go with a lighter colour as I like a nice bring under eye to make me look more awake.

 

Up next is a body spritz I think I said in November that I was loving this one and I still am...it just smells so good and last pretty much all day.

Up Next is Ru Pauls Drag Race now I bet most of you are thinking why the hell would you want to watch that? I watch it because I like it. I mean its one thing a woman being able to transform ourselves in the morning but a man...sorry a drag queen being able to transform from a good looking gay man into a gorgeous looking woman. I think out of all my seasons 5 and 6 have been my favourites.

 

Lastly is Disney DVD's and honestly I don't think I will ever stop watching them. Over December I tried to watch all of the ones I had and I think I got half way through and started watching Ru Pauls Drag Race.

 

So that's it from me just now but I'm sure I'll have another few blog posts soon..so stay tuned for those...but as I always stay beautiful
